Disturbance
October 5th, 2005 by ApocolypticaChapter 1 – “watch where you step, you idiots” roared the boss at the two heavy suit pilots in the lead. a large man nearly 6ft wearing a long gray trench coat, covering his carapace armor from view, he took a drag on his cigar breating out slowly “this place is gonna have alot of traps”. “no offence boss but, nothing these primative guys could make would be able to get through our armo…” he was cut off mid-sentince by a flash of light which took his head clean off, not even the helmet was left.
“sgt take point and use your sonic locaters this time, your sutis are expensive” the other heavy suit in the party moved to the center of the hall and guided the rest of the party down the halls marking the triggers for the traps with a gps tag. as they came to the end of the hall, the narrow passage widened and opened suddenlly into a cavernous hall so large that the top could not bee seen nor could the other side of the room. the party moved forward,soon they could no longer see the entrince where they came from without the aid of bionics, they aproched the center of the chamber and entered a small domed room with strange carvings and sculptures that looked as if they were could not have possibly been made to look like beings made of flesh. a large huminoid statue stood in the middle of the dome, standing almost 7ft tall, it looked like it was made of bones, it had a long cloke which hung down to ankles, blood red, tatered and staind with something centurys old, holes and battle scars vissable along with burns and tears. large claws on each hand and a staff with a long blade like an exacutioners axe at the top. held in one hand straight out a large orb was placed in the hand. the boss walked up to the thing and retrived the object. it began to emit a dark green light, and slowley changed to blood red. a low humm being emmited in the large chamber snapping the fire team and 3 remaining suits back to reality and casuing them to take point around the entrinces to the room. the hum grew louder, the rumbling more intense, until…it stopped. the boss felt the floor grow slippery and looked down, seeing a streem of red liquid pouring out of somthing to his right, he turned to look, confusion in his face as his eyes adjusted to the lower amount of light, he could only see one of the fire team members standing with a blank look on his face, and an ambiant light that he belived was just a trick of the eyes, he adjusted his bionic eyes to night vision to see the man properly so that he could see his name to yell at him. a look of horror spreed across his face as he saw the man with a tail from one of the statues pircing his torso, and the green ambiant light he had seen before he realised were its eyes. as he turned to yell for help he saw the other members of the team, the three heavys torn open from the back, blood staining the inside of the face visor each had one of those things hovering over them, and the other members of the team? he turned and almost lost it, they were on the ground, figures kneeling over them simmilar to that of the figure in the middle of the room, and with horror he realised they were using those blade fingers to slice the flesh from their bodys and…drape it over their gleeming metal forms, blood and vicera seeping down from under their newly aquired skin. dulling the metal still visable under the tatered slabs of flesh. a thought arose in his mind, he turned about see the stature, no longer coved in the dry mud and dirt that had coverd during its centuries of slumber, it gleemed duly as it brought its staff up over its head one handed. he barly had time to screem before his vocal cords, esophogus and everything else serverd, the two halfs falling limply to the ground, a data slate clattering out of his coat. the necron lord bent over and retrived the orb placing it in the receses of his cloke and also picking up the data slate, there was a new message, he pressed the screen and the message began, very staticly so that the face could not be seen. “Hark, after you retrive the finnal object meet my contact on Cadia, he will have a data slate with the info of where to meet me, soon old friend, soon the galexy will be ours”…End Transmision
he turned to one of the Wrathes, “set course for Cadia, the relics have been takin” wordlesly it flew off to obey, apocolyptica stood and watched the message again before discarding the device. a rumble shook the entire tomb, the dirt and stone that had formed on the interior of the ship cracked and broke off revealing the metal anchint technology which had laid dormant for nearly a milenia. the men wating outside the entrince to the tomb for their boss did not even know what hit them as they were cut down by the ships gauss flayers, the 2*1 mile ship emerging from the ground, opening a rip in space exposing the warp, the sip entered and left the world of Necromunda for the first time in milenia.
