Penal Regiment /tg/: Somerius is an heresy clusterfuck Edition

>>44582659
"Good luck yourself Captain, I'm not sure who'll need it more."
>Alice sighs and continues walking, rather preoccupied with her current dilemma to pay the Captain's own much mind.

Rolled 58 (1d100)

>>44582735
>Decides to rather try to sneak past her than to face a punishment before she can even help the Somerians out.

>Preoccupied with setting up defenses in the square
>Further away tanks and stormtroopers are fighting furiously against the heretics

>>44582758
>Hearing the faint sound of...something, Alice raises her Shotgun and heads towards the source of the disturbance.
Better not be a bloody Stormtrooper....

>Sighs, reading a dataslate with the commander of the Zastava regiment.

So you move your svolochs over to sector 7G and take out any resistance you meet there.

"Da, and the purge is going well. The emperor's grace has reached most of the population so far."

>>44582813
>Is already entering the subway tunnels, moving through the collapsed rubble proves difficult whilst carrying Omicron's equipment.
>"I just need one survivor to spread the word. They can't just all loose their will to fight."

>>44582830
>Alice cocks the weapon and increases pace to a light sprint in an attempt to catch up to the sound.

>>44582829
Ah yes, no survivors best survivors. Only wish thread was less devoid of survivors it's self.

>In the distance Valkyries are providing CAS for the stormtroopers engaged in combat with the fleeing heretic hordes
>Basilisk fire is also heard
>As is Wyvern fire
>A convoy of leman russ' are seen in the distance heading for battle

>>44582873
It will pick up sooner or later

>>44582873
>Finally seems to clear a small tunnel.
Better check if it's stable first...
>Kicks the rubble above it twice.
Looks good enough...

>>44582886
I'm still questioning the wisdom of the Inquisitor who thought that bringing the SPETSNAZ for this kind of job was a good idea.
I mean, the end is understandable, but the means? These aren't the bloody Tau....still 10/10 tho.


>>44582914
>Throwing caution to the wind, Alice breaks into a full sprint after whatever is causing the disturbance, -hopefully- catching up to it shortly.

>>44582954
>Looks through the tunnel she's made.
Huh... I'm going to need a light...
>Turns on the C'tan Phase Sword and uses it as a green-light torch.
Good enough...

Rolled 39 (1d100)

>>44582998
>Peering around a corner, Alice spots her target and attempts to advance on her quietly.

>>44583032
>Turns arround, aiming her Neural Shredder towards the sound approaching her back.
>"I swear if it's one of those stormtroopers I'm killing it"

>>44582954
Well, say inquisitor Zakharius is malleus, he would usually be deploying grey knights for big bad shit like this, but he has a private army of SPETSNAZ so why the hell would he bother the grey knights when he can use his stormies instead?

>>44583056
>Much like a Grox caught in a set of headlights, Alice freezes with the weapon still half raised.

Also, if more peeps do not do the joining, it is seeming like idea would be to nuke thread and screw around in Steam chat instead.

>>44583058
Too messy, you're supposed to take care of it quietly, covertly and subtly. Spetsnaz in space is none of these things. He's wasting precious monies of Imperium by destroying -everything-.

Rogan/Raxanon here. Just popped in, I'll join the conversation as soon as there is a good moment to do so

>>44583124
A-alice?
>Lowers her firearm.
What are you doing here?

>>44583124
He's an inquisitor? Inquisitor does whatever inquisitor wants as long as other inquisitors don't mind the mayhem in the process

Greely, watching thread in between being sick and working

>>44583133
Welcome to the party, apologies for not being in the most public of spots right now but....such is the way when attempting to 'apprehend' persons.

>>44583156
Stopping you from doing something stupid. All you're going to do is get more Loyalists killed! And more than that, you'll become a bloody Heretic in the process!

>>44583167
As long as other Inquisitor's don't mind eh.......rather a shame that nothing will be done to stop it then.

>>44583167
Though with this uncovered action you might just spark the anger of the civvies loyal to the imperium, maybe even making them fall to heresy

>>44583124
Have patience, it's still early morning in 'Muhrica and around lunchtime in Yurop

>Walks down to the square where the Vympel stormies are torching bodies

Such a big shame...

>>44583226
Indeed, oh well, at least they're dealing with the chaos threat, getting them on the run and all, however... There ARE two defilers down below in the subway system

>>44583226
A-alice you know I'm loyal to the bone, don't dare calling me heretic! Those men outside are the ones killing Imperial citizens! Omicron's citizens!
Where is the imperial justice on that? Why does it not scream Heresy to the bone?!

Just because they say they're working for an inquisitor doesn't mean it's not heresy!

>>44582659

I knew I should have requisitioned a Punisher Strike Cruiser... But thronedamn, have you seen the paperwork for that?

>>44583228
That is exactly why they must be purified, chaos taint is unacceptable!

Board the dropships, brothers, and order the slaves to do the same. It is nearly time...

>>44583290
Why'd you spoiler that?

>Watches the bodies burn

And now I think I know why Verasii's main involvement with the Malleus is supplying them with questionable weaponry..

>Looks at his Gauss Flayer warily, with a healthy respect for the damage the damn xeno weapon can inflict. Fingers the other alien relic, the pendant, nervously.

>>44583264
And why are you so certain that it -is- Heresy, hm?
The Inquisition -must- be trusted to know best, besides, you should know that I've experienced both sides of the coin. We trusted some civilians once, look how they 'rewarded' that trust.
>Alice raises the shotgun momentarily, before lowering it further than it was raised.

>>44583242
We'll deal with that in the future....also get well soon Greely.

>>44583342
>sits on a pile of corpses that are waiting to be burned
So who be this Verasii yer talkin' bout? Ol' friend o' yers?

>Camera Servo skulls fly round filming, one even emits dry ice.

>>44583387
The inquisition is the one who picks if a children is heretic or not, not a random stormtrooper armed with a gun. A child is a child, being scared of guns and people burning houses is to be expected. Not for that do they deserve to be shot when they run, he could have easily chased him...

This is the Iron Warriors incident all over again, the people expected these men to save them, not to kill them.

>>44583401

My Inquisitor. The one who had me fill out the requisition the regiment in the first place.

>>44583417
Well, at least some people never change. Let's see what the superstar is up to, try and minimize the damage.

>>44583342
Good question

Agent Greely, how are of doings?

>>44583417
>looks over at OBJ

Svoloch...

>>44583467

Watching the world burn, questioning my sense of right and wrong - again.

>>44583417
>stares for a moment, then shrugs
Sky people be weird.
>>44583442
Another inquisitor? I've had me share o' 'em, and liked none.

>>44583433
Oh it's solely the Inquisitor that deems who's innocent, no one else? Well maybe I should march outside and declare the civilians Heretical to a man then? Especially since you seem to have such a poor opinion of those who've done what needs to be done!
>Alice lowers the shotgun completely, but replaces it with agitated movements and the occasional clenching of one fist or the other around the weapon.

>>44583494
>>44583401
forgot nametag... Again.

>>44583549
>Blushes and looks down.
I... didn't mean that...

I... I didn't mean to offend you...

Y-you're mad with me... right?

>>44583494

Let you in on a sky people secret - we think he's an odd one too. As for Verasii, she's pretty calm for an Inquisitor. Tends not to jump to conclusions most of the time.

A little touchy about Nyzart - I had to talk her out of dropping the hammer there, but given her history and the general history we've had with the Necrons, that's to be expected. Anyway, I'm going to go check on our superstar.

>begins walking over to OBJ

>>44583467
>>44583494
>>44583442
>OBJ puts on his bloodbowl pads
>The sonic weapon keeps playing by itself but is now jamming out running blood.
>OBJ screams
"EXTREME MAKEOVER SOMERIUS EDITION"
>Before trying to smash random houses by charging them
>He has clearly had too much preworkout today
>Some of the Scions are clearly impressed by his destructive nature.

>>44583491
Da, I know that feeling, is harsh emptiness when you stop. Never stop questioning Greely. Never stop questioning.

>dropships descend well away from the Imperial forces, cruise at low altitude to a jagged, ravined area several miles away
>dropships conceal themselves in a deep ravine

All are to advance with extreme caution, and slowly. Be watchful for any Imperial slaves, keep out of their sight.

>>44583615
One that doesn't jump to conclusions exists? Well I be gyenuinly surprised. Well, I'm going 'ta find some quiet place 'ta meditate.
>limps towards the ruins

>>44583598
I am mad with a great many people right now, and yes, you're one of them. YOU KILLED A STORMTROOPER! A Trooper who was just doing his bloody job!
But it's not all your fault, I'm a corrupting influence here, so well done me!
>Alice drops the Shotgun to hang on it's sling and begins pacing irritably.

>>44583598
Such defiance! As punishment, I demand that you come share some drinks with me at a nice little cafe I know, and to tell me more about yourself. You've set up your mystery too well, I cannot leave without knowing more about you."

Chuckle, and lean in, as if to kiss her hand. A few inches away, tilt your head to look at her. "Is that a fair enough punishment?"

>>44583719
>"I did what?"
N-no that can't be I knocked him out that's all... I...

Alice please wait...

You know I didn't mean to say you had no judgement over who's heretic and who is not, I know what you've been having to suffer for letting those two mishaps... but please... see my point... those were just kids with no knowledge over anything...

Please... don't leave me hainging here...

>>44583662
Guess they stay hidden.

>The recon element starts pulling back toward friendly lines

>>44583799
Footsteps, the movement of gear and low talking are heard from the direction of the entrance of the tunnel

>>44583799
You know, I'll give you that, those kids probably didn't know anything, but Chaos cares not for the age of a Heretic, only that they can inflict harm....or.....not inflict harm....depending on which of those four taints the mind...

>Alice grabs her Bolter and spins to face the tunnel, then gestures for LIX to get into cover.

>>44583945
>Nods, gets in position besides Alice and aims her own weapon to the opening.
You aimed at me with a shotgun before I was inside the hole and now that whathever can come out can only do it through that hole and the shotgun is more effective you aim with a bolter? Was it even loaded?

>OBJ then finds some basic construction tools and start's forcing some of the Scions to help repair the house.
>He makes his way over to one of the Camera Servo Skulls
"Wow I just love giving back, The Suarez sure are going to love their new home when they return."
>He then makes a gesture to cut the camera and walks up to another servo skull.
"Ok I need you to go find the Suarez family and get some clips of them enjoying the Spa or wherever we sent them for the show"

You had better cut that shit out while I'm still in a good mood.

Alice? What are you doing down here? Weapons down men.
>the lights point down revealing Jackson and seven other men carrying medical gear, stretchers and a lifesigns scanner.
Whats going on here? Wheres the other lifesign we spotted?

>>44584091
>>44584117
You're aiming a weapon at a servant of the Emperor's Most Holy Inquisition and you're wondering if WE'RE Heretical?
Son, you had better lower that rifle right.....
>Alice trails off as Jackson appears and her posture relaxes considerably.
By the damned Warp Jackson, you sure know how to make an entrance....
The other person is fine, I'm dealing with it.

>Lowers her weapon.
>Looks at Alice as if waiting for premission to proceed into the tunnel.

>>44584168
Dealing with in what way? I'm down here looking for the train and it should be in that direction.

>>44584091
and who's that?
>Stares at the Sargent

>>44583988
"You've really got to work the oil into the wood to get that rich coloured finish"
>OBJ says to the camera as he massages the new stair bannisters
>He has also turned his Bloodletterhead loin cloth into some sort of tool belt.
>He walks over to one of the scions
"Sergeant Klichkof how are the interior designs going have you thought what your going to do for the kids room?"

>>44584211
>>44584193
>Alice points down the tunnel behind her.
Train should be....that way, I think. But make sure to bring some Missiles if you go down there, we're still missing two Defilers.

As for -this- one, she'll be coming back to Town Hall, she's in for a bloody lecture.

>>44584211
>Hears noises from below and considers getting OBJ, but decides to leave him to what he's doing. He approaches a nearby manhole cover, pulls out a multitool, opens it,hefts the cover aside, and readies his Gauss Flayer as he looks down.

>>44584168
>On orders from the Lieutenant and upon seeing the Inquisitorial Uniform on the woman, Malak would lower his lasgun, before offering an apologetic smile.

sorry about that Ma'am... I'm a bit jumpy at this point after having "seen" the rest of my Regiment "Have their graves dug for them"... Followed these guys for awhile before I offered to throw my lot in with them.

>>44584276
>Whispering, she doesn't want to question Alice's authority loud.
Please all I ask is you give me a chance to rescue a civillian as Omicron, to spread the word that he's with the Somerians. Then I'm all yours to accept any punishment and any charges you see fit. I will even agree to an execution if needed. Just let me give the PDF a bit of hope, that's all I ask.

>>44584211
>With a smile, Malak would turn to the Lieutenant

Gave you and your boys quite the scare when I showed myself didn't I...

>>44584276
Well they should have hit the front of the trapping the survivors in a cavern behind it. The defilers should be trapped outside but if not. We're prepared

Let me guess Delta is the other lifesign?

>>44584330
Well I expected to find one of three things in these tunnels, Heretics, civvies, or stormtroopers. What one are you?

>>44584230
>The awestruck stormtrooper/scon/whateverthefuckthey'recalled stares at OBJ in silence.

>Descends the ladder, seeing no one present, he begins moving towards the noises, weapon ready. To his relief, he sees the rest of the group and not something extremely heretical.

>Walks over quietly, but not too quietly.

"Alice, Jackson, Five-niner. Who's the new guy?"

>>44584282
Aaaaaaaah, I can't say I blame you then, I was none too pleased with being stuck here after my own Regiment got decimated, but hey, it wasn't so bad, just had to stick with a few decent blokes.

Hm....speaking of, I'll have a idea to ask you about when you're done Jackson.

>>44584321
>>44584338
>Turns to LIX and matches her quiet tone.
Lass, all you'll be doing is giving them false hope, that's a terrible thing, because it's all the more devastating when the truth comes out.
It's just not worth it....

Oh and err....aye Jackson, it is.

>>44584437
>Looks down
Y-yes, ma'am. I... I'm sorry. I'm ready to face any punishment you see fit.

>>44584437
If you and me are thinking the same thing then I'm already recording all there voices on the vox. playback on my orders. It's not false hope. I can get an Explorator vessel to take them to another planet if need be. I already have one standing by for different reasons.

>>44584395
>With a crisp salute and a voice filled with both pride and sadness. The youngish looking, brown haired Green eyed, Guardsmen Sergeant would respond.

None of those Sir! As I stated when I introduced myself too you before, I am Sergeant Malak Ordenius SIR! Possibly the last surviving member of the 277 Orvestillian Guard Regiment SIR!

>>44584502
Good thing that we found you not those stormtroops. You have any skills?

>>44584502

At ease. What are you doing here, and shouldn't we be having this conversation somewhere a little less... shitty?

>>44584487
What? My suggestion has nothing to do with the current situation, but if you can get anyone out then go for it.

>>44584469
Mhm, welp, best disguise yourself as a Stormtrooper. One of mine, not this other lot.

>>44584395
When our ship was turned to molten slag in orbit just moments after my and several other dropships were deployed too assist local PDF forces. The rest of my Regiment "Had their graves dug" when a building collapsed upon us after we were dispatched against a group of cultists...

>>44584546
>Silently nods as the polymorphine begins to take effect.

>>44584546
If my plan goes flawless then well be in command of the Scions. Cut the ships line of communication and use the audio logs to order their men. Let Delta come with me. The civvies will listen better if she's there.

>>44584565
Sorry to hear that. Happens way to much these days.

>>44584605
>>44584586
No. Lix will be returning to the Town Hall along with myself, where she will be properly....'lectured' for her recent behaviour.

>>44584531
SIR! I specialize in Demolitions and scouting SIR! You need something found and blown sky high I'm your man!

>>44584542
As stated before Sir! I threw in my lot with the Lieutenant after having fallen into sewers due to the ground shaking from the collapsed building!

And I agree with that, we probably should keep moving.

>>44584646
He's not one of Amalek's slave militia is he?

>>44584605

Why would they listen to Five-Niner? And what plan is this, Jackson?

>>44584646

Excellent. We'll be needing your help quite a bit soon, I imagine.

>Two defilers as well as a Chimera transport and various squads of what seem local pdf with chaos heraldica are carrying the civillians back to heretic territory through the underground rail system. The surviving Arbites are chained, whilst the civillians are not.
>A civillian tries to run away over an opening but is inmediately shot dead.
>An officer overseeing everything over the chimera's hatch seems to be in charge of the situation. He inmediately turns towards the mass of civillians their transporting back to their camps.
Consider yourselves lucky.
We've heard the news on watchers point.
The Imperium is not here to save none of you, but rather to butcher you.

Face it, the Watcher is no more, the Imperium wants nothing of us but slavery. You're all better off without them.

>>44584632
Two hours tops. Please.

>>44584646
Those are some skills we could use. Good.

>>44584689
We would cut all communications coming and going to their ship and reroute it through our relay. Then we play the audio logs of different orders so the ground teams are getting the orders we send and doing what we want and the ship is getting our replies thinking the ground teams are doing what they want.

>>44584687
[Spoiler] No different planet more like a mixture of a farm world and minor industrial world. Also just recently got into to 40k back in September so my knowledge is a little basic so my apologies if I make a fuck up or two [/spoiler]

Won't they get suspicious and come down to investigate personally? I know Verasii gets on my case for doing everything myself, but that seems like something an Inquisitor would do.

>>44584753
>>44584772
I already said no. I really wouldn't try and force the issue. Now, will that be all?

>>44584689
>>44584753
Thank you Sirs! I'll assist in any way I can. I just hope I can honor the memory of my Regiment and make the Emperor proud!

>>44584798
I give us anywhere from 6 to 8 hours before they notice and do so...

>>44584715
>one of the men hears the shot then hits his arm.
I heard it too. Gunshot. Singular. Further down the tunnel. All of you are now with me. let's go.

>Follows, Gauss ready, while talking quietly

There's also the issue of how Chaos works. It's insidious. Do you have a way to figure out who is or isn't tainted?

>>44584856
the first spoiler can't be capitalized. It happens all the time to me

>>44584851

I can scout upahead if you want sir?Might be better that way...

>>44584878
I'm new to posting on 4chan to be honest and it probably doesn't help that I'm on a phone

>>44584872
Yes. But not here. Does everyone always forget that I was working for an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor for years. I know how to detect it.

>>44584900
No, the scanner will pick them up before we see them.

The time has arrived. I have all I need, it's time for Somerius to see the truth.

>Every non-protected living being on the planet is able to see visions of the actions the stormtroopers from Battlegroup Vympel did on multiple urban centers across the planet.
>An all too fammilliar sorcerer's voice making a speech to complete the show.
Look down, Somerians, look down at the Hipocresy of your so called "saviors".

They tell you that rejecting the Imperium is heresy, something only madmen and tyrants do to get chained to the ways of chaos. Yet they press on your chains and terminate you when you seek for aid on their ranks.

Look down and see the graves these homes have become, look down and see the killers who you hoped would guide you to salvation.

Look down upon them and feel sorry rather than hate, for they're slaves to a system, unlike the free people of Somerius.

Look down and see the face of the liar and the lied at the same time.

It's time to arise Somerius.

It's time to arise for real.

You asked us for proof to call our crusade a liberation, here you have it. See the oppressors of the dead corpse's will fall upon your friends and families.

Feel the despair and suffering of those you love and arm yourselves.

It's time to raise your guns against the tiranny...

That's the thing you seem to forget... Scouts arn't MEANT to be seen and I WON'T.

Need to step away for an hour or so, assume Greely assists Jackson with the Gauss Flayer against whatever chaotic enemies show up, switching to nonlethals if we throw down with other imperium

What. Did. I. Say. Jackson?
LIX, we are leaving this squad to complete their objective.
>Alice marches towards LIX, her Bolter once again at hand and her expression foul.

Shitballs, sorry for missing so much of this thread and the entire last one. I caught a really nasty stomach flu and I've been basically bedridden.
>A transport ship sprayed with gang signs and obviously of non-Imperial Navy origin touches down nearby. Opening up, three basilisks, the entire Scum Squad, and the Taurox pile out.

Uh, sorry for being late to the party. I had to go... arrange some things with an old friend. What's the situation?

It's cool man, hope you're feeling better now m9.

First, they aren't all tainted. Jackson says he can figure out who is or isn't infected.

Secondly, We have a bit of star power down here that your men seem taken with. If he asks them not to, they'll probably listen. You wouldn't want to be gainsaid by Ozymandias Buckingham Junior, would you?
