<strong>Hanger Aboard the Unrelenting Vigilance </strong><br/><br/>The ork Victor had sighted in on fell, a hole where it's forehead had once been. The other orks around him  seeming not to notice as they continued to charge forward, even as Victor's next shots felled more of their number. All around him Victor's fellow stormtroopers were attacking the orks as well. Their hotshot lasguns proving more than strong enough to punch through the orks' hides and what little armor they wore. Before the advancing orks could even close the distance with the battle line of stormtroopers their mob, originally 40 strong, had been cut by more than half with each body riddled with the small smoking holes that were the signature of lasweapons. Those who managed to survive the fusillade of firepower found themselves pinned down and forced to take cover behind the many crates scattered about the hangar.<br/><br/>"Keep shooting ya gitz!" an ork shouted as it stood from cover, its weapon drawn and firing on full auto. His words seemed to encourage the other orks as they all followed his example and opened up with their crude slug throwers. Their aim, as the aim of most orks, was absolutely horrible. But the sheer amount of ammunition that they put into the air meant that some shots would still find their mark. The stromtrooper directly to Victor's right was suddenly thrown off his feet a red mess where his chest had once been<br/><br/>As fire fight continued the first lander flew overhead, low to the deck and steering as far from the orks as possible. It set down 30 yards behind the front line that the stormtoopers had established. It was smaller than the other landers which were still roughly a minute behind, its purpose was to deploy combat engineers immediately ahead of the main force. As soon as it touched down it's ramp opened and unloaded it's cargo. 5 squads of the 18th Ostiean riflemen. These men had their lasguns slung over their backs and were carrying portable barricades. Which they began to sed up roughly 10 yards behind the stormtroopers.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Unnamed Lander</strong><br/><br/>Even though the short moments just before the lander touched down had seemed to take an eternity the moments directly following the lander's touchdown seemed to pass faster than normal as if to make up for it.<br/><br/>As soon as the pilot's voice said "landed" over the intercom the sergeants and officers were up on their feet and urging their people to stand up and get moving. It took no more than a minute for the ramp at the back of the transport, which also served as it's back wall to fully open. As soon as it had the first squads were already running out, following their sergeants who were in turn following their officers. And 5th squad was no different "Lets move!" Jenkins said, as he led his squad down the lander's ramp, around the vehicle and towards the barricades that had been laid out for them.  He followed Lt. Devri to their platoon's spot on the barricade and used his combat saber to motion to 5th squad "firing line right here!" he said.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Hanger Aboard the Unrelenting Vigilance </strong><br/><br/>As soon as the barricades were up and manned Captain Alonzo's voice could be heard over his stormtroopers' vox units. "fall back to the barricades" he said his voice calm and controlled. With each of his men having their own vox unit he had no need to shout and knew if anything it would just throw off his men's aim. Even though these first orks were dealt with easily enough he was under no illusions that they were all the beasts he and his men would be fighting today and he knew that when the main mob of orks charged in they would have no chance of stopping them from their current position. As soon as his orders were given the stormtroopers moved to obey, falling back while still firing as they had been trained.<br/><br/>As what few orks were still alive managed to not only see the humans who had single-handedly stopped their attack, but they also saw the large numbers of humans who had come to fight as well.  It didn't take long for one of them to shout out "There's too many of um....we needs ta leg it!" Moments later the orks had turned their backs to the enemy and were running as fast as they could for the blast doors.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Hanger Aboard the Unrelenting Vigilance </strong><br/><br/>"Oye why you'z runnin back?!?!?" Grimgul  (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs15/f/2007/028/d/9/Orks___Mega_Armoured_Nob_clr_by_taytonclait.jpg) roared at the first ork from the  scouts he sent ahead of da boyz "We was gettin all shot up" the ork said "we had ta leg it" Grimgul snarled at the smaller ork and grabbed it by the neck. "Now dem humies think we's a bunch a spineless grots!!" he shouted, slamming the squirming ork into the nearest wall to punctuate each word before throwing the body to the side.<br/><br/>Grimgul took in a deep breath and spoke as loud as he could "Da scout boyz 'ave gone and give'd us a 'ardboyz a bad name!! Da humies think we's a bunch a' grots who's gonna leg it just cause we been shot up!! Lets show um how REAL orks get stuck in!"<br/><br/>While not much to other races, this speech was, by orkish standards, an inspirational masterpiece that easily whipped the orks around Grimgul into a frenzy and made them forget all about the guns they were about to run into. As they poured through the blast doors one of the many orks started a war cry. Which was picked up by those around him, and next by those around each ork who had just picked it up, and so on and so forth until the entire mob of orks were charging through the hanger towards the imperial line in a massive wave of green muscle, sharp teeth, and weapons. And their call of "Waaagh" was as loud as thunder!<br/><br/>
