Mission 15: Abomination
And here we are once again to protect mankind from the terrors of the Warp in the name of the Emperor. This time our task is simple, we must burn the two rooms surrounded by the circular ones.
We must go to the east, and the chosen soldier to lead the way it's the Vulcan operator, for obvious reasons.
We can't leave our rearguard unprotected, so we'll leave some of our men to take care of the xenos lurking nearby.
The aliens just keep moving from one way to the other without making any hostile movement, waiting to deliver a quick and unexpected blow.
Our task team must get through a long corridor infested with aliens, but they're no match for the power of our Vulcan cannon, we just have to wait a little more...
Now they're closer! Full Auto on them!!
All life that was directly in front of our marine has been squeezed.
The rear team has been attacked by some hostiles, but our defensive position allowed us to take them down with little trouble, some of them are trying to flank us, however, so we must watch the side now.
The Sarge moves to the parallel corridor to deal with the flanking aliens, a bad move because I think I wasted all my AP there and now we must be fucking lucky to survive while in the Overwatch mode.
Also, in the front corridor an alien has gone through our defenses, but he ignores the Marine that was shooting at him and goes straight for our Flamer marine, thankfully he also ran out of AP.
Another splatter of blood in the name of the Emperor!
The Sarge has managed to kill the two xenos thanks to the Emperor's Will, so we adjust our defensive situation to better protect the area.
Meanwhile the task team advances without much trouble, as nothing can really face them.
And some other aliens contribute to expand the pool of blood.
Everything remains steady here.
We're getting closer to the enemy entry points now so we should be more cautious now, we should expect more incoming xenos.
The weapons get jammed, as usual, but there are no aliens close to pose a problem
And those farther are eliminated.
We suffer now the incoming onslaught of aliens, and we don't have any clips left, so we don't have to waste a single bullet now.
Khorne is now pleased.
We'll advance our defense to have a better area controlled by our soldiers.
Time to burn! Our soldier Kotto watches for the xenos while Ledesma goes to start his task.
First room done! Only one to go!!
Nothing new to report here, just the layout of our defense getting done.
It would be a shorter way if we went through the corridor Kotto was facing with the Vulcan cannon, but there are two entry points and we could get slaughtered without even noticing, so we take the longer (but safer) way.
With this setup we have the room in the middle protected by two soldiers, and the only way the aliens can get anywhere it's throught it.
We must hurry!
Now, I don't know what I was thinking when I moved them here. Maybe I got tired of their complaining so I got them closer to the claws of the aliens, other than that, I don't have any excuse for this strategical movement.
The task team is attacked by the rear, but Kotto was expecting them.
Ledesma its on its own now, but this way we have splitted their numbers so it should be safer for him now, besides, he has a fucking powerful flamethrower!
Trouble here... We've lost communication with one of our marines...
We'll face them without fear! We must give time to our task team!
Hopefully they don't need much time...
We have blocked one way, but there are many places where the aliens can get from...
Uh, oh, trouble ahead...
Nothing that a good wall of fire can't solve!
Geisler has protected their backs, but now the Sarge must face alone two xenos, will he succeed?
That was close, I can feel it breathing right in my balls...
Now everything should be safe!
Ledesma advances slowly, protecting himself with fire.
Objective complete!
Just one turn until extraction, and just one loss in our team.
Hooray!
With this mission completed, we get two more Experts in our team. We're all sad about the loss of one of our Specialists, but there's more cannon fodder out there.
