Necron Awakening (Phoenix Lord x Eagletrekkie)

[Khalroth]

Bassus is slowly making his way between cover as he heads towards the entrance of the large metal pyramid like structure before him. The glowing green light that lightly fluctuates from the metal and ground around the space marine flash ominously off the black armor of the mk 8 armor and the slight coloring on the right shoulder plate, showing him to be a member of the Solar Sabers. Once he reaches the entrance, Bassus blends into the darkness and awaits for his one and only partner on this mission to catch up to him as his hand rests on the pommel of his power sword.

Tightening his grip on the hilt of his Force Sword as he moved up to meet his companion for this mission, Sulum mentally ran over the plan for the mission in his head, loathing that they didn't have a third battle brother with them. Granted, the Deathwatch knew the pair of them worked well together, after all, they had been the only survivors of that disaster on Merellius.


The thought of Merellius was enough to make him grit his teeth in distaste. That mission had been several months ago now, and had cost nearly two squads because of poor planning. He hoped the pair of them wouldn't have to rely on Bassus's quick thinking and an impressive display of Sulum's own psychic powers to survive this time.


Reaching his battle brother, he gave a nod and activated his Vox. "Well, brother, shall we descend into the darkness these xenos scum call home?"

"Just keep up this time Psy. After all, that's what saved us last until you got distracted." Bassus quietly snapped back through the vox. Rising up slowly, still being conscious to stay in the shadows, Bassus moves into the structure with his plasma pistol drawn as a precaution. After some distance, Bassus reached a fork in the structure's network of tunnels and tombs. Turning the vox back on, he calls to Sulum. "Get up here Psy. We need you to determine which path to take or we will have to split up."


Bassus is grumbling at that idea, hating the possibility they will have to separate as they did on Merellius. That damn Tyranid ambush was so devastating to their squad. Only Bassus and Sulum got out with minimum damage while three battle brothers were shipped back to their chapters due to their injuries and two others being killed.


"Now Psy, let's get this done quickly. I rather finish this quick infiltration to make sure they still sleep so that we can get out of here and not wake them ourselves."
