Chapter 1: Planetfall
*scenes of orbital wreckage drifting past the screen, explosions periodically erupting on the planet's surface below, and then Ultramarines Thunderhawk soars down*
Ultramarines Fleet -- Strike Cruiser Fury of Descent
TARGET: Forge World Graia
STATUS: Planetary Invasion in Progress, +9 Terran Days
OBJECTIVE: Secure the Titans
*cue Titus and Command Squad*
Leandros: Captain Titus, the Orks have massacred the Forge World's forces. And they have taken the planetary defense weapons.
Sidonus: Clever of the damn Orks. Keeps us off their backs while they loot the Titan war machines.
*explosion shakes the Thunderhawk*
Thunderhawk Pilot: Brace for evasive maneuvers.
Sidonus: Pilot, report!
Thunderhawk Pilot: Starboard engine is dead, sergeant. We are losing altitude.
Titus: Get the ship to safety. We'll find another way down.
Thunderhawk Pilot: Aye, captain.
*Titus focuses on Jump Packs hanging on racks*
Thunderhawk Pilot: Thunderhawk Lance of Jove returning to launch bay...
*Titus and Command Squad don Jump Packs, and Titus strives over to open bay doors while the squad waits behind them*
Sidonus: This is your plan?
Titus: We need to get to the surface to take out the gun battery. Or do you want to go home already, Sergeant?
Sidonus: Not without having a word or two with the Orks.
Leandros: Is that wise, captain? The Codex Astartes does not support this action.
Titus: Try and keep up.
*Titus jumps out followed by his command squad, soars down past Ork Kroozers and zipping around enemy fire, and upon landing reveals is only armed with a combat blade and a Bolt Pistol...and promptly gets shit done*
Ork: Humans to kill! It takes more than that to kill an Ork!
Ork: Get the boss.
Ork: Try to die, humans.
Ork Boss: Get off my ship, Space Marine. You're gonna die.
Ork: Space marines to kill.
Ork: Defense.
Ork: I'll kill you for that.
Ork: Shoot me again.
Ork: Space Marines.
Ork: Shoot me again.
Ork: Cut him to bits.
Ork: Space marines! Kill them.
Ork: Go ahead. Shoot me again!
Ork: Cute him to bits.
Ork: You're going to die.
Ork: Shoot those humans!
Ork: You're gonna die.
Crush the Space Marine.
Chapter 2: Against All Odds
Sidonus: Captain Titus, come in. Damned Orks shot me off course. I've had no word from Leandros, but I'm picking up vox chatter from imperial Guard forces on the ground.
Captain Titus: I scarcely thought any would be left alive, much less still fighting.
Sidonus: Heading towards the front lines now.
Captain Titus: I will meet you there.
Ork 1: Kill them all.
Woman 1: Remain calm. Evacuate in an orderly fashion. Public disturbances will not be tolerated.
Access override. The Emperor be with you, space marine.
Ork 2: This way, boys.
Ork 3: I'm going to kill him too.
Ork 4: Kill them all!
Ork 5: Kill him!
The human's all alone. Shoot those humans.
Kill them all!
Ork 6: Get the boss!
Leandros: Captain!
Titus: Destroy them.
Kill the space marines!
Ork 7: Space marines!
Leandros: Here they come.
Ork 8: Come and get me, space marines!
Ork 9: This way! They've got no way out of there.
Ork 10: Space to kill.
Ork 11: Space marines, kill.
Ork 12: Shoot that son of a bitch!
Ork 13: Space marines, kill.
Ork 14: Again, shoot me again!
Captain Titus: Leandros! Are you wounded?
Leandros: The Codex Astartes warns against using jump packs to leap blindly into enemy fire-- and for good reason.
Captain Titus: Your days as a novice are behind you. Why do you still interpret the Codex so narrowly?
Leandros: I look to its rules for guidance.
Captain Titus: We all do. But there are also benefits to thinking for yourself, Leandros.
Leandros: Enemy sighted!
Leandros: We make for the defense canon, Captain?
Captain Titus: Sidonus picked up local Imperial Guard communications. They survived under the shadow of that gun. I want to know how.
Man 1: Keep firing! Keep firing!
Ork 15: More space marines to kill.
Ork: Kill them!
Kill everything in that bunker!
Ork: Leandros: [Inaudible] are here. If there's anything good left, fight with us.
Ork 16: Finish the humans in that bunker.
Ork 17: Space marines, kill us!
Ork 18: More humans . . .
Ork 19: More humans to kill.
Man 2: My lord, you have saved us.
Captain Titus: Rise, guardsman. You saved yourselves-- we thought you dead.
Man 2: We would be, my lord, if not for the Lieutenant.
Captain Titus: Where will we find this Lieutenant?
Man 2: At the front lines. Follow the trench network to the Lieutenant's command bunker.
Captain Titus: Carry on, Guardsman. We rendezvous with Sidonus, then we find this Lieutenant. We need updated intel on the gun battery.
Man 3: Through here, my lords. Head out the upper level and continue through the plaza. The bunker is beyond that.
Captain Titus: Remarkable. A few hundred against a million Orks. And they fight on.
Man 4: What? No, get off.
Man 5: "Only in death does duty end."
Man 6: My legs. I can't feel my legs.
Man 7: I got to see a space marine before the end. I've got a plan. What [inaudible]
Sidonus: Captain, I'm in position at the broken monument, near the Guard lines.
Woman 1: Quotas must be met despite alien incursion. Delinquency is an affront to the regime.
Leandros: There he is.
Captain Titus: Sergeant, I see you found something to keep you busy.
Sidonus: Worry not, Captain... I've saved some Orks for you. The Orks have got that gun well defended, no mistake. But typical Ork behavior would be to dismantle or destroy the gun.
Captain Titus: And certainly not to use it to keep our forces at bay.
There's a strategy behind it. Their leader is no fool.
Sidonus: This day's getting interesting.
Captain Titus: I may have encountered the Ork during our jump to the surface.
Sidonus: That was the Ork ship I saw crash near here, I take it. Did he survive?
Captain Titus: If the horde hasn't turned on itself, it's still under his control.
Sidonus: Through here.
Ork 1: Kill every last one of them!
Ork 2: Humans to kill!
Ork 3: Space marines!
Ork 4: Space marines!
Ork 5: Drop and kill them space marines!
Ork 4: Kill them space marines!
Ork 5: Kill him!
Ork 6: Space marines exploding at you.
Kill them space marines!
Ork 7: Shoot those humans!
Captain Titus: Target that squig!
Ork 8: Time to die.
Leandros: Look out! Drop ship.
Man 1: There's too many of them. They never stop.
Man 2: Space marines!
Stay put. Kill them all!
Leandros: It's our fight now.
Ork 9: Time to die!
Captain Titus: Drop ship incoming.
Man 2: Kill those bastards.
Captain Titus: Time for you to die!
Man 3: Space Marines, thank you! We thought we were done for.
Captain Titus: Where is your commander, Guardsman?
Man 3: Inside, but the door is sealed.
Captain Titus: I believe they will let us through.
Imperial Guard, we are Ultramarines. Open this door!
Man 4: Space Marines.
Man: Word from the second ranking. Another horde of the Greenskins are headed here from the south.
Man: Damn Gretchin stuck a knife and slit his throat two nights ago.
Man 5: Scouts report sector 31 has completely burned out. No survivors. Just bodies, everywhere.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Reinforce their position. Hold the line, and stay alive.
[Inaudible] outpost gamma.
Man 6: Aye, lieutenant.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Thank the emperor. Second Lieutenant Mira, 203rd Cadian regiment.
Captain Titus: Captain Titus of the Ultramarines.
Sidonus: You are in command?
Second Lieutenant Mira: I'm all that's left, my lord, unless my commanders rise from the grave. So far, they seem content to stay put.
Man 7: Lieutenant, the scouts have returned to forward base.
Second Lieutenant Mira: How many?
Man 7: Two.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Damn. I sent out ten.
That damned gun. We don't have the numbers to make an assault. And as you might have seen, it's shooting down all our support vessels.
Captain Titus: That is why we are here. Leave the gun to us.
Second Lieutenant Mire: Come with me, then. I should warn you, my lords. We've got a slight Ork problem down here.
Woman: Genetic scan complete. Adeptus Astartes. Access authorized.
Captain Titus: What do you know of the Titans on this planet?
Second Lieutenant Mira: Only that some of our troops were sent to guard the Titan "Invictus" of Manufactum Ajakis. But that was two weeks ago, and we've lost contact with them.
Captain Titus: We need to reach that Titan.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Your fastest route is across the rail bridge behind the gun complex. It leads directly to the western gates of the Manufactorium.
Man 1: Get me a field manual! Stuck on bloody Forge World and not a single Tech Priest in sight.
Digga! Digga!
Second Lieutenant Mira: Form a damn firing line!
Ork 1: Time to die, humans!
Ork 2: Kill them!
Ork 3: We just might kill you . . .
Man 2: Move, move, move! We need the damn medivacs!
Ork 4: Humans to kill!
Ork 5: Blast those space marines!
Ork 4: Kill the . . .
Ork 6: Humans!
Ork 7: More humans to kill!
Second Lieutenant Mira: Take that . . .
Defend the line! Use the turret!
Why isn't anyone on this weapon?
Captain, the turret!
Captain, use the turret!
Ork 8: Kill them all!
Second Lieutenant Mira: The Orks hold the trenches beyond the ruins and the battlements beyond that.
Captain Titus: And the gun battery?
Second Lieutenant Mira: The Orks took it almost as soon as we got here, nearly two weeks ago. Our unit was the only one to make landfall before they gained control-- now none of our ships can get past the gun.
Woman: [inaudible] authorization confirmed. Access granted.
Second Lieutenant Mira: That's where the Orks breached the gun battery. We haven't been able to make it inside the wall. There just aren't enough of us...
Captain Titus: You have survived this long on your own, Lieutenant-- you have done well. But you are no longer alone. We will retake the gun. You will get your reinforcements.
Second Lieutenant Mira: I'll hold you to that, Captain.
Lieutenant Mira: We're heading back to the command post, Captain. Good luck.
Captain Titus: Once we get through these battlements, we will use the breach caused by the Rok to enter the gun fortress.
Sidonus: Look at these cables...
Leandros: They must be powering Ork Contraptions across the battlefield.
Leandros: Captain- Assault Support Pods were dropped in this area.
Leandros: Take to the high ground, Captain. We will deal with the Orks down here.
Sidonus: Here is the Rok at last.
Leandros: No room for that jump pack, Captain. That Rok delivered the Orks right into the gun fortress.
Chapter 3: Belly of the Beast
Ork 1: They aren't so tough.
Computer: Artillery shells moving into position.
Ork 2: Space marines!
Ork 3: Kill them!
Ork 4: [Inaudible] ork charge.
Sidonus: This fortress is swarming with Orks. Clearing this place will take days.
Captain Titus: Those Guardsmen cannot survive that long. We find a way to destroy the gun.
Computer: Space Marine recognized. Access to experimental Vengeance Launcher granted.
Leandros: A Veangeance Launcher?
Sidonus: That sounds promising.
Computer: [Inaudible] facilitation expecting [inaudible] regarding removal of diseased persons.
Ork 5: Give me a bigger shoe!
Ork 6: Stay calm!
Computer: [Inaudible 00:02:49] Ultra. Access granted.
Sidonus: An armory. Sure to be something useful.
Computer: Lockdown in effect.
Leandros: Look here, Captain. Melta charges.
Sidonus: Put those in the right place, and this whole fortress will come down.
Leandros: We could put the charge on one of the gun's shells.
Sidonus: Leandros, you do the Chapter proud.
Computer: Using safeguards.
Sidonus: More Orks.
Computer: Remember that we honor the machine guard by exceeding . . .
Ork 7: Come and get me.
Ork 8: Space marines!
Ork 9: Space marines! Kill them!
Ork 10: Space marines!
Ork 11: Stay close!
Captain Titus: Enemies of man!
Ork 12: Kill the space.
Ork 13: Kill the space. Again! Shoot me again!
Sidonus: Shell storage is below.
Computer: Access restricted off the decks.
Ork 1: Space marines! Kill them!
Ork 2: Stay calm!
Ork 3: Kill the space marines!
Ork 4: Kill me!
Ork 5: Crush the space marines!
Sidonus: More damn Orks!
Leandros: It's our fight now!
Ork 6: Again! Shoot them again, you space marine!
Ork 7: Again!
Leandros: Here, Captain. We need to get the shell into that loader.
Captain Titus: There. I will place the charge on that shell.
Now to move the shell into place.
Leandros: All loaded, Captain.
Sidonus: With luck, the Orks will feed it right into the gun's chamber.
Captain Titus: We cannot rely on luck for this, Sidonus. We follow the shell up and make sure it reaches its destination.
Sidonus: Aye. Now back to the lift.
Ork 8: Get the Nobs.
Sidonus: We seemed to have annoyed these Orks.
Ork 9: Shoot me again!
Ork 10: Again! Shoot me again!
Computer: Keep clear. This is not a drill. Firing now.
Sidonus: Let's drop these [inaudible 00:05:37].
Leandros: He's got a bomb.
Ork 11: More humans to kill!
Leandros: Canons [inaudible 00:06:08]!
Ork 12: Kill them space marines!
Ork 13: Can't . . . Kill the space marines!
Ork 14: Shoot those humans!
Ork 15: Space marines!
Computer: Reloading.
Ork 15: Kill them!
Sidonus: There. A secondary lift.
Chapter 4: Titans of Graia
Captain Titus: The Guardsman will get their supplies now.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Captain Titus, you are a man of your word, my lord, thank you.
Captain Titus: What is your situation, Lieutenant?
Second Lieutenant Mira: We're gathering our wounded and are heading to the Andris Habitation Block to establish an outpost. With the canon down, our support craft will land there.
Captain Titus: Very well. My battle brothers and I must secure any operational warlord-class Titans before the Orks can loot them.
Second Lieutenant Mira: Good luck.
Ork 1: Legates! Kill the space marines!
Ork 2: Space marines!
Speaker: Kill the space marines!
Sidonus: Now, that bridge is a testament to the mighty Imperium.
Leandros: The Adeptus Mechanicus are masterful architects.
Captain Titus: Their work outlived all of them.
Leandros: What in Gulliman's name is that?
Captain Titus: Nothing good.
Leandros: Did the lieutenant not say these tracks went to the complex housing the Titans?
Sidonus:That thing is a battering ram.
Ork 3: Run for it!
Ork 4: Run, space marines!
Ork 5: Space marines!
Crush the space marines!
Ork 6: Kill them!
Ork 7: Smash them space marines!
Ork 8: Space marines to kill!
Ork 9: Space marines!
Ork 10: Space marines!
Shoot those bastards!
Ork 11: Kill the space marines!
Captain Titus: Attack the joint!
Ork 12: Space marines, kill them! Come again, you space marine!
Leandros: Orks incoming!
Fight now!
It takes all of that to kill an Ork.
Ork 13: Humans to kill!
Titus: Now to stop this ram. Time to impact?
Sidonus: No more than six minutes.
Titus: Time enough. Sidonus! Time to impact?
Sidonus: Less than four minutes.
Leandros: We need to deal with that dropship. Bolter fire cannot penetrate its armor.
Sidonus: These trains have point defense turrets. There will be a heavy weapon ahead.
Leandros: Forward then. Turret sighted.
Titus: Cover me while I get to that weapon!
Leandros: Orks incoming!
Part II: The Inquisitor
Chapter 5: The Inquisitor
Marine Voice 1: The Manufactorum still holds!
Marine Voice 2: Some Imperial Guard units made it here after all.
Commander: They cannot hold for long.
We must hurry.
Marine Voice 3: What is that servo skull doing?
Commander: Trying to deliver a message.
Must be damaged.
The seal of the Inquisition.
Interesting.
Marine Voice 3: What is the Inquisition doing here?
Commander: We're about to find out.
Drogan: This is Inquisitor Drogan.
I need urget assistance at Manufactorum Ajakis.
They are after the experimental device.
The device is safe for the time being.
I've drawn them off, but now I'm trapped.
If I die, you must keep the device out of enemy hands, or he'll be unstoppable.
I needed more time.
The weapon was nearly ready.
White Haired Marine: An experimental weapon...?
We need to find the Inquisitor before the Orks do.
Keep moving. Stay alert.
Female Voice: Sir, the machine [inaudible] by joining corpse removal crews at your designated evacuation center.
Marine: Captain, look
The Orks must be operating that crane.
Captain: They will not stop until the break through that gate.
Marine: We must disable that crane.
[Fighting Noises]
Female Voice: Do not abandon your work station. Everything...
Ork: Shoot me again!
Shoot those humans!
Marine: The Control Room.
Forward! Clear out the Orks.
The Orks have managed to power that cannon.
Marine: Even a single shot will blast right through the gates.
We cannot allow that.
Corporal Antioch: Number Two Control Deck, do you read?
Captain Titus: This is Captain Titus of the Ultramarines. Identify yourself.
Corporal Antioch: This is Corporal Antioch, sir. That is, my lord.
Captain Titus: I need access to the Manufactorum, Corporal.
Corporal Antioch: There is a service lift in the hangar directly below where you dropped the cargo, my lord. We can meet you there.
Captain Titus: Stand ready. We will be there shortly. Titus out.
Sergeant: A handful of Guardsmen holding that huge gate. They cannot last long.
Space Marine: They did manage to bring the access bridge down, robbing the Orks of their advantage of numbers.
Ork: Kill them space marines!
Ork: It's a fight now!
Ork: Move!
Ork: Space marines, kill them!
Ork: Space marines!
Sergeant: Green Skins.
Ork: It takes more than that to kill an Ork.
Ork: I'll get you for that!
Ork: Kill them all!
Ork: Come and get me space marine!
Ork: Space Marines, kill them!
Ork: Come and get me...
Gretchin: Space marines!
Gretchin: When did humans get so big?
Space Marine: What's the plan?
Ork: Come and get me, Space Marines!
Ork: Space marines, kill them!
Corporal Antioch: My lords, you must hurry. The Greenskins are on the move again. If they find the access point we are using, we will not last long.
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Smash those Space Marines!
Ork: Move!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: It's a fight now!
Ork: Smash those Space Marines!
Ork: Time to die!
Ork: I'll kill you for that!
Sergeant: Grenade.
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: It's a fight now!
Ork: Smash those Space Marines.
Ork: Come and get me, Space Marine!
Sergeant: The lift is this way.
Captain Titus: Corporal Antioch, we are in position.
Corporal Antioch: Excellent, Captain! I'm sending the lift up now.
Machine Woman: Granting access. Authorization is [inaudible 00:05:04] ultra.
Space Marine: Orks! An entire horde!
Captain Titus: Antioch, hold the lift! We have Orks inbound.
Ork: Kill those Space Marines!
Ork: Space marines!
Captain Titus: Yeah!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Smash those Space Marines!
Ork: It's a fight now! It takes more than that to kill an Ork!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: It's a fight now!
Space Marine: Titus! [inaudible 00:07:36]
Ork: Space marines to kill!
Ork: Space marines, kill them!
Captain Titus: Corporal Antioch?
Corporal Antioch: Yes, my lord.
Captain Titus: We have word that an inquisitor is in the Manufactorum.
Corporal Antioch: Yes, Lord Drogan. We have not seen him for several days. Has the Liberation Fleet arrived, my lord?
Captain Titus: The Fleet is still en route, Corporal. The Ultramarines are here as a vanguard, to cripple the enemy and secure the most valuable assets.
Corporal Antioch: I see.
Captain Titus: But the facility and its Titans remain secure?
Corporal Antioch: All I can say for certain is that no Ork has breached this gate, my lord.
Captain Titus: Contact Lieutenant Mira. Her unit is establishing a bastion in Hab Center Andris, and your support craft now have a viable approach from orbit.
Corporal Antioch: What of the Colonel and his staff?
Captain Titus: They did not survive.
Corporal Antioch: Oy! Keep that muzzle clean, guardsman! Here we are, my lord.
Captain Titus: My thanks, Corporal.
Chapter 6: Lair of Giants
Xenos: At last, a place the Orks have not stai.
Titus: For now. I doubt even dropping that cannon on them will convince Orks to back away.
Leandros: Indeed. We must find this Inquisitor and the Titan Invictus.
Woman: Be not concerned with events beyond these walls. Work, focus, meet your quota. Increased productivity gains high favor from the machine gods.
Leandros: Titan Invictus seems undamaged, at least.
Titus: Titan Invictus seems unused, you mean. Is this invasion not enough to bring out the war titans?
Leandros: It takes hundreds to get a War Titan operational, Sergeant.
Without them, it sits idle.
Xenos: Captain, this is an augur station. I can scan for the Inquisitor's life signs.
Machine: Access authorized.
Xenos: There. . .a lone human.
Machine: Identity confirmed. Drogan, Ordo Xenos.
Titus: He's in this wing of the manufactorum.
Xenos: I read alien signals throughout the facility. And a large number converging on the Inquisitor's location.
Machine: Section 449 is understocked by 100%. Please rectify.
Do not abandon your work station. Everything is under control.
Titus: Leandros, can you use this panel to contact our other forces?
Leandros: Not directly, but I can boost vox range.
Titus: Do it.
Machine: Access authorized. Ultramarines chapter.
Radio: Ready infestation [inaudible 00:03:31] vehicles.
Leandros: Here, Captain.
Titus: Ultramarines, this is Captain Titus. Are you receiving?
Midas: Captain. This is Sergeant Midas. Squad Solinus is on the ground and making for our objective.
Titus: New orders, Midas. We are at Manufactorium Ajakis, and have located the Titan "Invictus." I need Solinus to come secure the Invictus, while I divert to a priority alarm.
Midas: On our way, Captain. Midas out.
Leandros: The pipes. . .the Orks are in the pipes.
Inquisitor, order of Xenos.
Machine: Repeat authorization.
Leandros: Drogan, prepare the power source. Immediate release.
Machine: Repeat authorization.
Leandros: Full safety protocols acti--
Titus: Inquisitor Drogan?
Drogan: I am Drogan. And you are?
Titus: Captain Titus of the Ultramarines. We received your distress call, but you to seem have weathered the enemy's attack.
Drogan: I am soldier and scientist both, Captain.
Titus: What is the status of the experimental device?
Drogan: The Power Source? It's running the entire Manufactorum from the generator room.
Titus: This device is a fuel source, not a weapon?
Drogan: It is a complex device. . .and an unstable one. If the Orks find it, they'll try and take it apart. It could detonate with enough force to destroy the entire planet.
Titus: Then we must move it to safety.
Drogan: And for that, Captain, I need your aid. This way.
Woman: [inaudible 00:00:11] life form detected.
Ork Boss: Space Marine! You trying to steal my Titans? Steal my loot? I'll rip your guts out your throat!
Soldier: The Ork himself!
Ork Boss: I'm gonna put your head on a spike, Space Marine. Oy! Get out of there and kill this Space Marine! Now! Kill the Space Marines!
Sergeant: Aye, the Ork has a scent for us now.
Drogen: Damnable creature! Had he not blundered onto this world.
Titus: But he did, Drogen
Woman: [inaudible 00:02:59] recognized. Full access granted.
Drogen: There. We must go to that lift.
Ork: My boyz want to give you a proper greeting.
Ork: Run for it!
Ork: Shoot them! Yeah!
Sergeant: How much deeper does this facility go?
Soldier: The Manufactorum? Far deeper. The whole generator room is actually suspended above a venting shaft.
Drogen: Suspended?
Soldier: Yes, in case of catastrophic overload, the whole room can be shunted away into the depths. Ah, yes. Here we are.
Sergeant: Colder than a Space Wolf's smile in here.
Soldier: Yes. A by-product of the device's functioning. Captain Titus, proceed into the main chamber. We need only obtain the power source at the core of the generator. I will initiate decoupling from a control console.
Titus: Understood. Brothers, guard the access points.
Soldier: I have engaged the decoupling sequence, Captain. You must keep the chamber secure until the power source is exposed.
Woman: Identity confirmed. Drogen order zenos.
Soldier: There, the primary shield is open, Captain. Head into the central chamber.
Ork: Space Marines!
Sergeant: Captain! The Warboss!
Ork Boss: Space Marine! What you hiding down here? Whatever it is. I want it!
Ork: Go get it, boyz!
Soldier: Hold back the Greenskins, Captain. The power source will be free of the generator shortly.
Ork: That's it! Tear this whole place apart!
Ork Boss: I'll rip your guts right out your throat! You can't run from me, Space Marine!
Soldier: Now, head over to the Servitor station and activate it. It will retrieve the power source and get it into its canister.
Ork: Time to die.
Ork Boss: This sparky thing what you want, Space Marine? Then I'll take it for myself!
Ork: Space Marines! Kill them!
Soldier: That damn Ork will kill us all! Grab it, Captain. Force the power source into its canister! Quickly!
Ork: The whole room is coming down!
Chapter 7: Heart of Darkness
Captain Titus: Sidonus. Leandros. Respond.
Leandros: Captain. The inquisitor insisted you could not have survived.
Captain Titus: Well I did. And I have his precious power source.
Sidonus: We set a rendezvous in Hab Center Andris. These tunnels will spit us out there eventually.
Captain Titus: Fine. Continue heading toward the Hab Center.
Enemy 1: Space marines!
Captain Titus: Yeah!

Captain Titus: Well met, brothers! Any idea of our position?
Sidonus: We should be nearing an access point to the surface. The air smells a bit cleaner.
Captain Titus: I've had enough of tunnels. Let's get out of here and find the Inquisitor before the Orks do.
Ork 14: Kill the space marines! Smash those space marines!
Ork 15: Shoot those humans!

Ork 22: Kill the space . . .
Ork 23: Come and get me, space marines!
Ork 24: Space marines!
Ork 25: Come and get me, space marines!
Ork 26: Humans to kill! Shoot me again!
Ork 27: Time to die, humans!
Sidonus: Considerate of the green scum to open the way.
Leandros: At last, a way to the surface.
Chapter 8: Whispers of the Dead
Man 1: Not much tidier than below, but at least we have the sky over our heads again. Our rendezvous point is this way.
Titus: What could the Orks hope to gain by slaughtering so many?
Man 3: Sow terror. Demoralize the militia.
Titus: Cruel, but effective.
Man 3: This was no strategy of war. For Orks, this was sport.
Woman 1: Medical supplies have been exhausted.
Man 3: Millions more of them.
Man 1: Our plan is unchanged. Get the inquisitor and the Power Source off world.
Man 3: Titus, if they take over the Manufactorium, we will have a damnable time getting them out.
Titus: We are Ultramarines, Orks are not a problem.
Man 3: If we had a week perhaps, but by then the Orks will have worked out how to dismantle the Titans.
Woman 1: Space marine recognized [inaudible 01:43].
Man 1: Ork rocket launchers on the high ground.
Let's get those Orks!
Don't mess with the Space marines!
Shoot me again!
Woman 1: Evacuation [inaudible 03:31] is no longer safe refuge. Remain calm.
Titus: The Xenos haven't left a single structure undamaged.
Man 1: Or unbloodied.
Woman 1: Worker access is unacceptable. [inaudible 03:51] take severe remedial training.
Man 1: Greenskins.
Space marines [inaudible 00:04:57]
Captain Titus: More roks!
Intercom: If you are injured return to your quarters. The Machine God will watch over you. Workers of class nine or below do not qualify for medical attention.
Sidonus: Greenskins incoming!
Leandros: The techpriests will have to bring all of these structures down and rebuild.
Sidonus: This time, on top of a mass grave.
Captain: Inquisitor Drogan, we need to get you off planet before we're overrun by Orks.
Drogan: We're exposed to the unshielded Power Source . . . In the generator room, I saw it! You held raw energy from the Warp. How are you still alive?
Man 1: The Power Source conducts warp energies?
Man 2: The stuff of Chaos! Heresy.
Drogan: My work against the Xenos has the Imperium's blessing.
Captain: Can your blessed work help us against the Orks?
Drogan: My research is of the utmost secrecy. The Imperium forbids its use without sanction
Captain: Consider that your Imperial sanction.
Drogan: Very well. The Power Source fuels an experimental weapon at my research facility, the Psychic Scourge. It could destroy the Orks.
Man 1: You didn't think to bring up this scourge weapon before?
Drogan: The Psychic Scourge has never been test-fired, Sergeant. If it malfunctions, it could crack this planet in half.
Captain: We are out of options. We fire the weapon and take our chances.
Drogan: The Psychic Scourge is at the Kalkys facility, my research laboratories. It is a fair distance. We will need transportation. Captain, we aren't far from the plaza where Lieutenant Mira was headed, the Imperial Guard rally point.
Captain: They will have Valkyries. We can fly to the research facility. Let's find this Imperial Guard outpost.
Man 2: Inquisitor Drogan is alive.
Man 3: I can't believe we survived that!
Captain: Inquisitor, your wound is slowing us down.
Drogan: I can manage.
Captain: Brothers, take him to the Valkyries. I will draw the Orks off and meet you there.
Drogan: Give the Power Source to the Sergeant, then, Captain.
Captain: No, Drogan. The Ork chieftain wanted the Power Source. When his Orks see I possess it, not you, they will follow me. Move out.
Man 1: Which route to the rally point, guardsman?
Guardsman: Bastion Primus is that way. But it's all walled held firm.
Woman: Do not [inaudible 00:27]
Man 1: Now to knock over some Ork nests.
Woman: Welcome to the evacuation center pavilion. You will receive rations of water and food. You will be protected. [inaudible 01:20]
Man 1: Space Marine!
Man 2: Whatever you're doing Captain, keep at it. The Greenskins are swarming your way, leaving our path open.
Man 1: More Orks to kill.
It's a fight now.
Shoot those Orks.
It's a fight now.
Kill these things.
Space marines.
Kill them now.
Move it.
You're going to die, Space Marine.
Space Marines to kill.
Man 2: My lord, we owe you our lives.
Man 1: I am an instrument of the Emperor's will, trooper. Now indicate to me the nearest concentration of Orks.
Man 2: Aye, my lord. Marsis Plaza is just past this hab complex. It's swarming with the beasts.
Man 1: Not for long.
Man 2: Captain, we are within sight of the Imperial Guardbastion.
Ork: Kill them Space Marines.
Ork: Kill them!
Man: Summoned fury!
Ork: Don't shoot us!
Ork: Space Marine!
Ork: Space Marines, kill them!
Gretchin: Space Marines!
Gretchin: Get behind something!
Ork: It's gonna blow!
Gretchin: Space Marine.
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Kill them Space Marines!
Ork: Kill the Space Marines!
Command: This is Primus Command!
Titus: Out of fuel.
Command: Orks inside the perimeter! Move to secondary defense positions and hold the line.
Marine: Welcome to Bastion Primus, Captain. Sergeant Sidonus briefed me about the Inquisitor and his doomsday weapon. He said you require air transport to the Kalkys facility.
Titus: Your Valkyries are the fastest way to reach it and we have no time to spare.
Marine: Your men are already on board their Valkyrie, and the squadron's ready for liftoff. We'll get you to Kalkys with all speed. It's time the Imperial Guard brought the fight to the Orks.
Part III: The Weapon
Chapter 9: The Weapon
Mira: Pilots, this is Lieutenant Mira aboard Valyrie One. Look sharp. Ork flyers inbound.
Pilot: Captain Titus, I need a gunner to man the heavy heavy bolter. Here they come, starboard side.
Titus: Incoming!
Pilot: That was close.
Valkyrie Seven: Valkyrie Seven here! I've got boarders.
Titus: Pilot, match speed. I will shoot them off.
Pilot: More Stormboys.
Titus: [inaudible 00:00:52] the beasts! Stormboys going for Valkyrie Three and Six. Keep us in position, pilot.
Pilot: Trying, sir.
Pilot 2: Losing control.
Pilot 3: Captain!
Pilot: Starboard side. Ork ship coming up. They're right behind us! He's breaking into the cockpit.
Titus: Come in, Lieutenant. Valkyrie Two...
Mira: We're on approach, Captain.
Gretchin: I'm coming, you lot! Found some Space Marines.
Ork: Found Space Marines to kill!
Ork: It's gonna blow!
Gretchin: When did humans get so big?
Ork: Come to [inaudible 00:04:00].
Ork: Space Marines, kill them!
Ork: Space Marines to kill.
Ork: It's gonna blow!
Ork: Kill the Space Marines!
Ork: Crush the Space Marines.
Ork: Space Marines!
Mira: Valkyries on approach.
Titus: What is the Inquisitor's status?
Mira: The remainder of the squadron has escortd his craft to the outskirts of the Kalkys Facility.
Titus: Very good.
Lieutenant Mira: Farewell, Captain. I must return to base. Those damned Ork fliers cost me too many good men and too many gunships. We'll be hard-pressed to defend the outpost.
Captain Titus: Thank you and good luck, Lieutenant.
Drogan: Where is it?
Captain Titus: The device is secure, Drogan.
Drogan: What are you waiting for then? Further delay is intolerable.
Captain Titus: Inquisitor, are you all right?
Inquisitor: Yes. Come, we've no time to waste. More of them!
Drogan: Dispatch them quickly! We must hurry! We must hurry!
Captain Titus: Inquisitor, can we get around the bulk of theses Orks?
Inquisitor: Yes, perhaps. My research produces minimal waste, so the facility's sluiceways should be accessible.
Inquisitor: There, we will proceed through that door.
Inquisitor: I need time to override the lock, captain.
Captain: Understood, Inquisitor.
Man: Kill them all.
Man: Attack.
Man: To the attack.
Man: Kill that space marine.
Man: He's going to blow.
Man: Through here, space marines.
Captain: I thought the spire to be a ground to space transporter.
Inquisitor: It is. With a few modifications it also makes an ideal firing tower. The energy pulse should not damage the spire.
Captain: You do not sound confident.
Inquisitor: Improvisation and experimentation go hand in hand.
Man: Space marines to kill.
Man: We've got shooters.
Man: Watch that friendly.
Man: Space marines.
Man: Destroy them.
Man: Space marines. Kill them.
Man: [inaudible 00:07:05] to bits.
Man: [inaudible 00:07:05] the space marines
Man: Space marines.
Man: Again, shoot me again.
Man: We've got shooters.
Man: It's a fight now.
Man: Kill them all.
Man: Shoot those [inaudible 00:07:43]
Man: Space marines.
Man: [inaudible 00:08:50]
Inquisitor: These pipes lead into the facility's sub basements and here is our entrance.
Chapter 10: House of Secrets
Man: What can we expect inside, Inquisitor?
Inquisitor: Oh, yes. Just a few defenses.
Companion: What comprises "a few," Inquisitor?
Inquisitor: Servo-turrets, mostly.
Companion: Set to eliminate Orks?
Inquisitor: Set to eliminate anything with the misfortune to move within their range.
Intercom: Lock down in effect.
Man: Sentry guns ahead!
Intercom: Authorization required to implement security protocols.
Man: Missile launcher!
Companion: No way to move quickly with these guns everywhere. We need to shut them all down.
Inquisitor: I can do that from the central security room.
Man: Then that is where we are headed.
Intercom: Lock down in effect. Authorization required to implement security protocols. Level 4 [inaudible 00:05:50]
Inquisitor: Ultramarines - The logic engine thinks we are escaped Xenos specimens. There is a control panel in the side room. Get me there and I can shut it down.
Intercom: Level 4... [inaudible 00:06:57] ...extermination protocol engaged.
Authorization recognized. Protocols suspended.
Inquisitor: The exit will open shortly, Captain. However, I'm afraid the servo turrets beyond this room remain primed.
Companion: What is kept in these containers?
Inquisitor: Specimens needed for my research.
Companion: Specimens, cages, operating theaters...This place reeks of Xenos filth.
Inquisitor: That is the business of the Inquisition, Ultramarines. This way, Ultramarines.
The firing core is still active. Excellent.
Companion: If this is the firing core, Inquisitor, does it discharge through the whole facility?
Inquisitor: No, not precisely. The core actually raises to the rooftop of the facility. That is where the rest of the firing array is located.
Inquisitor: There, the command room is beyond those doors.
Titus: And those sentry guns.
Ah, very good.
Inquisitor: All the security measures will be down shortly, Captain. I'm afraid they were the only thing keeping the Orks outside, however.
Titus: But you will be able to fire the weapon?
Inquisitor: Indeed.
Titus: We had better do so quickly. This place will be awash with Orks before long.
Inquisitor: Of course. Security systems disabled. Please proceed to the generator room.
Titus: Here come the Orks.
Inquisitor: Place the canister into its cradle inside the power core, Captain.
Titus: Do we risk exposure again?
Inquisitor: Only if you drop the canister.
Ah, very good, Captain. Your time carrying my power source is finally at an end.
Damnable thing!
Titus: What do you need me to do, Inquisitor?
Inquisitor: You will need to manually restart the array alignment. Forcibly, if you must.
Titus: Where?
Inquisitor: In the firing chamber. Board the lift, Ultramarines.
Captain, you must hurry! The damned Orks have cut the main conduits to the firing tower! You must reconnect the conduits, Captain, or we're facing an overload that will rip this planet apart.
Titus: Understood.
Chapter 11: Point of No Return
Sidonus: More Orks.
Leandros: The chamber is infested!
Captain Titus: Clear it out! No mercy!
Sidonus: Move. Space Marines uphill. Kill them all.
Psychic Scourge: Psychic Scourge firing sequence commencing.
Captain Titus: Inquisitor, the conduits are reconnected.
Drogan: Now proceed to the main control panel.
Psychic Scourge: Weapons authorization confirmed. Primary containment fixture disengaged. Firing sequence in progress. Firing now.
Leandros: Look at the spire.
Warboss Grimskull: ...hard to beat. I've been looking for you, Space Marine. You've got something of mine.
Leandros: Here they come. Why didn't it work?
Sidonus: Damn that, Drogan. Never trust the inquisition.
Captain Titus: Stand fast, Ultramarines. We can handle a few Orks.
Warboss Grimskull: Space Marine! Was that supposed to hurt?
Leandros: Chaos Demons? How is this possible...
Warboss Grimskull: You got new friends now, Space Marine?
Captain Titus: Inquisitor, get back!
Lord Nemeroth: How heroic.
Captain Titus: Drogan!
Drogan: I have served you well, Lord Nemeroth.
Captain Titus: Traitor.
Lord Nemeroth: I see. My servant did all that I hoped and more. But he would never have succeeded without you, Captain Titus. Thanks to these brave Space Marines, we have broken through to this reality. The blessed gateway is not yet large enough. Clever fool. You seem surprisingly able to resist my touch, Titus of the Ultramarines. And that of the Warp, which impressed my servant to no end. Ah -- you think the inquisitor a traitor. But Drogan has been dead since before you first met. You have been used by my puppet of flesh and bone.
Warboss Grimskull: I ain't so easy to kill.
Male: Did that fiend speak truth? Did we cause a chaos invasion?
Male: Of course we did. His Inquisitor puppet manipulated us from the moment we met
Male: and before. The false Inquisitor sent the distress call--
Titus: I don't think so Leandros. The man's urgency, his fear... I believe that was the real Drogan, facing certain death.
Sidonus: and it found him
Titus: But not at the Ork's hands. Somehow, the agents of Chaos were already here.
Male: Captain -
Titus: Keep moving!
Titus: To the exit! Keep moving!
Part IV: Dying of the Light
Chapter 12: Dying of the Light
Sidonus: That gate-- it's getting bigger. If it gets much larger, Nemeroth can bring his fleet through.
Titus: Then we must cut the link between Warp gate and tower.
Male: You have a plan.
Titus: We use Invictus to sever the orbital spire.
Sidonus: At that range, will the Titan's cannon be effective?
Titus: It's time we used the power source to our advantage: to supercharge Invictus. We need to reach that Titan.
Male: So, a daemon killed Inquisitor Drogan and then possessed his body.
Leandros: But, why?
Titus: Alone, there was no way the daemon could get the power source past a million Orks. It needed help.
Leandros: And we obliged!
Titus: I was deceived. I am responsible for Chaos breaking through to this world.
Woman: Genetic scan complete. [Inaudible 00:01:47] Full access granted.
Titus: Ultramarines, attack!
Enemy: One less traitor. Space marines!
Leandros: Captain, duty requires that I put voice to my concerns.
Titus: Speak then.
Leandros: You held the unshielded power source again, Captain. And, again, you emerged from the exposure unscathed. The Codex Astartes warns that those in league with Chaos can withstand the Warp's touch.
Male: You forget yourself, Ultramarine.
Titus: Leandros, I do not take this Warp resistance lightly. But the search for answers must wait until after we deal with this Chaos invasion.
Leandros: What if that is too late?
Male: Leandros, enough. We need to keep moving.
Captain Titus: Warp portal!
Sidonus: Kill the weak!
Captain Titus: Brothers - Attack!
Leandros: Grenade.
Soldier: My lords, help us. Demons, demons!
Leandros: Where are all they coming from?
Captain Titus: Guardsman - Report.
Soldier: My lord, Space Marine. They were on us almost immediately.
Soldier: Lieutenant, the Space Marines are here.
Lieutenant Mira: Captain Titus are you there? This is Lieutenant Mira. This whole planet has gone mad.
Captain Titus: The forces of Chaos are invading this world. We must get to the Titan and destroy that warp gate.
Lieutenant Mira: I know what route to take. I deployed troops to man outposts between the Kalkys facility and Bastion Primus. From there, you can access the rail network and cross to Manufactorum Ajakis.
Captain Titus: Understood. I will meet you there.
Sidonus: Kill them all!
Ork: Crush the Space Marines.
Ork: Kill them Space Marines!
Ork: Junk-headed Space Marine.
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Kill them Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marine!
Ork: Kill them Space Marines!
Ork: Space Marines!
Ork: Shoot me again!
Ork: Crush the Space Marines.
Ork: Space Marines [inaudible].
Ork: Kill them Space Marines!
Ork: Crush the Space Marines.
Captain Titus: An Ork invasion, and now the tender mercies of Chaos heretics. I'm surprised the place is standing at all.
Trooper: How, how can we face them... The Legions of Chaos...
Lieutenant: Trooper. Get yourself together right now!
Trooper: Yes, ma'am.
Mira: The other platoons are going to fall back towards the Bastion. Hold this position, or they'll be cut off.
Lieutenant: Greetings, Ultramarines.
Man 1: What is your situation, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant: As well as can be hoped, considering we are surrounded on all sides by the enemy horde.
Mira: We're heading back to the command post, Captain.
Man 2: And once again, we find the Orks in our path.
Trooper: Not for long.
Mira: There's a lift over here.
Jonah: Well met, Mira!
Mira: Jonah! I half expected to find a daemon chewing on your bones.
Jonah: Well, they'd spit me right out.
Lieutenant: Make your report, Jonah.
Jonah: The Greenskin have been pressing us hard, both down here and at the bastion proper.
Lieutenant: Get ready to fall back to the bastion. Do not engage Chaos forces directly until I get reinforcements down here to back you up.
Jonah: Aye, Lieutenant.
Female: Genetic scan complete. [Inaudible 00:00:22] Access Authorized.
Captain: Orks, always more Orks. Forward!
Enemy: I need more humans to kill.
Lieutenant: Imperial guard! Stand your ground! The Ultramarines are here!
Enemy: Kill all the humans! Stop shooting me!
Lieutenant: You can see why we need the sentry guards. There aren't enough of us to hold this position without them.
Male 1: Lieutenant, the central outpost is under attack!
Lieutenant: Tell them we're on our way!
Captain: Move out, brothers.
Lieutenant: We need those sentry guns.
Captain: Lieutenant, where is the generator?
Lieutenant: If you continue on, you'll find it at the end of our fortifications.
Captain: I will contact you once I have restored power. Brothers, the Guardsmen will need your help until the guns are reactivated.
Male 2: We will hold the line, Captain.
[Fighting Noises]
Captain: Lieutenant Mira, the generators is at full power.
Mira: It's working - the sentry guns are back online!
Captain, your men are near an access point to the rail network. My Guardsmen will point the way.
Another gateway is close to your position.
Captain: My thanks, Lieutenant.
Here we are, my lord.
Carry on, Guardsmen.
Sidonus: Sidonus to Captain Titus.
We are running into Orks down here.
Nothing like above, though.
Just enough to be an annoyance.
We will be there soon.
Captain: Understood.
Grimskull: You think you can walk out of here with sparkly thing?
I'm Boss Grimskull!
This whole planet is mine!
Chapter 13: Wake the Sleeping Giant
Ork: You've been at my heels for long enough. This ends now.
Space Marine: That's right, because I'm going to kill you. Stand still so I can kill you.
Ork: I'm going to cut off your head and paint these walls with your blood.
Space Marine: Get him.
Man 1: Why do you give me so much trouble, Space Marine?
Space Marine: Space Marine.
Man 1: Space Marines.
Ork: Come and get me, Space Marine. I ain't finished with you yet, Space Marine.
Space Marine: But I am finished with you, Ork.
Man 2: Captain?
Space Marine: The damned Ork is dead.
Man 3: Finally, some good news.
Man 2: This rail line will take us directly to the Titan Manufactorum.
Man 3: The faster, the better. Those Orks slowed us down.
Space Marine: And gave Nemeroth time to prepare his invasion. We must get to the Titan and destroy that Warp gate.
Man 1: Ready!
Man 2: Prepare the blaster. Renegades attacking!
Man 3: Hold your fire!
Man 2: Renegades.
Man 1: Protect your [inaudible 00:00:35].
Man 3: Fall back!
Man 2: The enemy!
Enemy 1: [inaudible 00:02:36].
Enemy 2: Fire!
Man 2: Heavy weapon!
Enemy 2: Slaves! Retreat!
Enemy 3: [inaudible 00:04:31].
Woman: Hard work occupies the body and distracts the mind. It is a noble and worthy thing. All workers of class nine and above must report to their ships despite the emergency.
Man 1: There it is.
Man 4: That did it, Ultramarines. If you can release our mooring clamps, we can bring devastation to the invaders. The renegades have it well-guarded.
Man 1: Understood.
Man 2: Grenades!
Man 1: Renegades sighted.
Man 2: Clear. Renegades. [inaudible 00:07:53] Brace yourselves. Chaos Spawn!
Enemy 4: [inaudible 00:08:49] the galaxy. Kill them all!
Enemy 3: Space Marines.
Man 2: What next, Captain?
Enemy: I will feed you to the Dark Gods myself, Ultramarine.
Soldier: That elevator will get us to the mooring clamp controls.
Captain: I will take care of the clamps. You and Leandrus get the doors to the Manufactorum open.
Soldier: Understood, Captain.
Woman 1: You belong to the Machine God. You are on call in the glorious machine.
Captain: Enoch, I have Inquisitor Drogan's power source with me. We must use it to supercharge your weaponry.
Enoch: The power source? The rites involved in using it safely . . . Only the High Fabricator himself . . .
Captain: Unless we act now, an entire Chaos fleet will hang over your Forge World.
Enoch: Understood.
Woman 2: Weapon authorization confirmed, Ultramarines chapter. May the Emperor be with you, Space Marine.
Enoch: Mooring clamps released. Invictus powering up now.
Captain: My battle brothers will have the gates open shortly. Maneuver Invictus close to the topmost gantries. I am coming aboard.
Enoch: Yes, Captain.
Captain: Enoch, I have a target for you, the Orbital Spire.
Enoch: The spire? But Captain, it is a masterwork of the Machine God.
Captain: It is feeding energy into the Warp Gate above it. If we are to stop this invasion, the spire must fall.
Enoch: I understand.
Captain: Where must I bring the power source?
Enoch: Travel across the armature to the starboard side, Captain. I will open a maintenance apse for the volcano cannon.
Woman 2: Protocols suspended. Access authorized.
Enoch: The apse is below you, Captain. Leap down to the walkways around the volcano cannon, Captain.
Woman 2: Power source successfully integrated.
Captain: Target the Orbital Spire.
Enoch: Target acquired.
Woman 2: Firing now.
Captain: Omnissiah preserve us...
Woman 2: Alarm. Ejecting power core. shutting down all systems.
Captain those systems are overloading. did it work?
Titus: Invictus performed admirably, Enoch. The warp gate is closing. Thank the machine god.
Woman 2: Shutting down all systems
Chapter 14: Victory and Sacrifice
Man 1: That's done it, Titus. But Nemeroth and his daemon host still roam free.
Titus: Though he is trapped on this world.
Man 1: And all the more desperate to recover the power source. We must get it to safety, old friend.
Leandros: Good news on that front. Lieutenant Mira reports that the Liberation Fleet has entered the system. The inquisition will surely have sent agents with the fleet, Captain. Perhaps we can return the device to them...
Titus: The inquisition has already failed to stop its exploitation by Chaos. No one must use the device, Leandros, ever again. Contact Lieutenant Mira and have her divert a Valkyrie here to pick us up.
Man 1: Yes, Captain.
Leandros: I suppose putting a bolter round through that damnable power source is out of the question.
Titus: Too risky. We could open another Warp Gate for all we know. Upon our return to Macragge, I will confide it to the Chapter Master and his Librarians.
Leandros: And until then?
Titus: My most trusted brother will bring it to our Strike Cruiser and seal it in the armory.
Get this damned thing secured, Sergeant.
Leandros: As quickly as I can. And what will you be doing while I run this little errand?
Titus: There are still thousands of traitors and heretics on this world. I intend to drastically thin their ranks.
Man 1: Lieutenant Mira's Valkyrie is on its way, Captain.
Titus: Excellent. We make for the landing pad, and watch for the Chaos Lord's forces.
Man 4: There! Retrieve the Warp Device!
Titus: Sidonus! Get to the Landing Pad!
Sidonus: Aye, captain!
Sidonus: These traitors are determined. And this landing pad does not offer much cover.
Titus: Sidonus!
Man 2: At last!
Titus: No!
Man 2: Such a pretty bauble, hiding such immense power. This device is a gift from the Chaos gods. It holds the key to my evolution... to my ascension to immortal daemonhood. My armies will spill humanity's blood across the stars.
You continue to resist my touch... Only a deep connection to the Warp can explain this. Will you be joining us soon... brother?
Part V: Prince of Daemons
Chapter 15: Prince of Daemons
Leandros: I couldn't reach him in time.
Captain Titus: Sidonus died as we all should, in righteous battle. Do not give in to grief, Leandros. Turn your thoughts to vengeance. Nemeroth will pay in blood.
Soldier: Renegades!
Enemy 1: Kill them all. To the Slaughter!
Captain Titus: To the attack!
Soldier: Renegades! Chaos Forces! Renegades!
Enemy 2: Loyalists!
Mira: Mira here. Valkyrie on approach. Captain Titus, we're ready to transport you. The Sergeant!
Captain Titus: That Traitor Lord murdered him. Nemeroth killed Sidonus for the Power Source. You said the Inquisitor's work was heretical, Leandros. You were right.
Leandros: What do you mean?
Captain Titus: Nemeroth plans to use the Power Source to trigger his transformation into a daemon prince.
Leandros: Abomination!
Mira: How can we stand against such a creature?
Captain Titus: I will kill Nemeroth when he is most vulnerable, during the transformation. Safeguard Sidonus until the Apothecary arrives, then join the imperial attack.
Leandros: Going alone is suicide or worse. We know the enemy takes great interest in your connection to Chaos.
Captain Titus: Do you fear my falling to Chaos?
Leandros: Of course not. But whatever lies behind your resistance, it can only be to the enemy's favor.
Mira: Why? Perhaps this resistance can get you close enough for a killing blow.
Captain Titus: I will destroy Nemeroth with skill and steel, or die trying. If this resistance comes into play during battle, so be it.
Leandros: So be it.
Captain Titus The Liberation Fleet is in Orbit fresh troops are landing preparing to assault the orbital Spire it may be severed but it's still the enemy's strong point awesome I know thank you
Enemy 1: Target acquired.
Kill the [inaudible 00:01:05]
Move already!
Captain Titus: Yeah!
Yeah!
Renegade Guard 1: There he is!
Captain Titus: Yeah!
Renegade Guard 2: It's gonna blow!
Renegade Guard 3: Get him!
Captain Titus: Destroy them!
Renegade Guard 4: Attack!
Captain Titus: Ultramarines, this is Captain Titus.
Thunderhawk: Captain Titus. Thunderhawk Lance o' Jove is at your disposal, Captain.
Captain Titus: I must reach the orbital spire. Tell your pilot to make his approach.
Thunderhawk: Yes, sir!
Chapter 16: Spire of Madness
Corvus: Blood Ravens Squad Corvus reporting in, Captain Titus. We joined the Liberation Fleet at Bakka along with a squad of Black Templars.
Captain Titus: Unleash the fury you showed in the Aurelian Crusade, and we will be glad to have even a few Blood Ravens with us.
Corvus: You may rely on that, Captain.
Titus: Then join the forces driving into the daemon host. And stop any enemies trying to follow me up the orbital spire.
Corvus: None shall fund us wanting, Ultramarine.
Titus: Honor and glory, Blood Raven.
Attack!
Forward!
Keep moving. Remain alert.
Ultramarine: Ground forces, Ultramarine patrol [inaudible 00:04:50] incoming. [inaudible 00:04:53]. Touch down eminent.
Titus: Ultramarine, deploy on my mark.
Ultramarine: Heavy infestation [inaudible 00:05:06]. Cleanse and purge.
Corvus: Your orders, Captain.
Titus: Destroy these Chaos forces. I must reach the orbital spire.
Corvus: Yes, sir!
Squad Solinus: Captain Titus! Squad Solinus, reporting in. Manufactorum Narses is secure.
Titus: Very good!
Solinus: Your orders, Captain?
Titus: Contain the Chaos threat here.
Solinus: Understood. Thunderhawk ready for transport, Captain Titus.
Titus: I will need all your skill, pilot.
Solinus: I will take you into the Eye of Terror if you ask it, Captain.
Titus: The Orbital Spire will do for today, brother.
Man 1: I will hold here as long as I can, Captain.
Captain: No, brother. Rejoin our forces and bring fury to the enemy. This battle is mine alone.
Man1: Yes, sir!
This madness will not stop me! and neither will you!
The dog--
The world grows dark!
Yah!
Kill the loyalist!
Your brothers thought the same. Traitor. Their corpses lie behind me.
Out of fuel.
Man 1: For the final glory of Chaos.
Hasta la vista baby.
[inaudible 00:02:07]
The angels of death.
Man 2: Hold the door. Kill the weak.
Man 1: [inaudible 00:02:27]
Man 2: Destroy the weak.
Man 1: [inaudible 00:03:19]
Man 2: Silence.
Man 1: [inaudible 00:03:44]
Man 3: Kill them all.
Man 2: Target. [inaudible 00:04:39] You will die.
Titus: There is much blood on your hands, Nemeroth. For all those you have killed... for Sidonus... and for the Emperor, I will finish this.
Nemeroth: Dread Gods of Chaos. I am Nemeroth, your herald and champion! I have burned a thousand worlds in your dark names! You challenged me to recover this fragment of your power, and I have done so! The slaves of the False Emperor who dared claim it as their own lie dead at my hand! I return your dark relic to you... I offer up this world and all those upon it... I ask for the reward that was promised!
Titus: You want to talk to your gods? I will send you to them!
Nemeroth: Admit it, Titus. The power of Chaos is within you, calling to this relic. Imagine the Ultramarines dominating this galaxy in glorious conquest, with you at their head. Imagine the power you could wield--
Titus: -- as a slave to Chaos? Nothing you say can tempt me from the path of honor -- or from avenging the deaths of my battle brothers.
Chapter 17: Man Against Daemon
Nemeroth: You are no threat to me now, Ultramarine. Nothing can stop my ascension! Grant me your favor! Corrupt my flesh, make me daemonkind! Show this fool the true nature of power! Kill them all!
Man: That's the enemy!
Enemy: [Inaudible 00:01:51]
Enemy: Kill them!
Enemy: Kill!
Enemy: [Inaudible 00:02:16]
Enemy: [Inaudible 0:02:31] scum.
Nemeroth: Have you looked to the skies lately, Captain Titus? You opened a gateway to the Chaos realm, Captain. Already, our legions are pouring through. The slave of the false Emperor was trying to save this planet from one invasion. Instead, he ushered in another.
Captain Titus: Strike through!
Nemeroth: Your pathetic imperial forces will be scoured clean from this world. Soon, my entire invasion fleet will cross into this reality!
Captain Titus: The enemies are back!
Enemy: Death to Ultramarine!
Enemy: [Inaudible 00:05:16]
Enemy: Destroy the wimps!
Enemy: Kill them all!
Enemy: Hit him!
Enemy: [Inaudible 00:05:57]
Ultramarine: Look out!
Enemy: You will die!
Nemeroth: Your task is hopeless, Titus. I have the will of the Dark Gods behind me. But you? You have no and you will die here, alone. Killing my servants matter little. I am unassailable. The gods of Chaos protect me with the very energies of creation.
Captain Titus: You forget, Nemeroth. I am no stranger to the touch of the Warp.
Chapter 18: Epilogue
Daemon: If it takes a thousand years, I will rise again and take my vengeance upon your flag. Oh, will I find you back in [foreign language 00:00:40].
Captain Titus: Never!
Daemon: Will you be joining us soon... brother?
Lieutenant Mira: Look there, Ultramarine -- you have saved this world. I see that Ultramarines are human, after all.
Captain Titus: More than you know, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Mira: The damned inquisition is here.
Inquisitor Thrax: His injuries appear Chaos-inflicted.You are certain of this charge?
Space Marine: Captain Titus has been corrupted by Chaos, Inquisitor Thrax.
Captain Titus: I am no heretic.
Space Marine: You lie! Only an agent of Chaor could withstand Warp exposure.
Captain Titus: I sent the daemon to oblivion.
Inquisitor Thrax: But did you have unholy assistance? We must know. You will submit to my authority, Captain. Or the inquisition must conclude that you have corrupted every Ultramarine under your command, not to mention those who stand at your side.
Lieutenant Mira: Ignore his threats. Come on.
Captain Titus: The inquisition will destroy you, Mira. And the Ultramarines will be forever dishonored. Leave my brothers -- and the Lieutenant -- alone. I will come with you. I don't know why I can resist the touch of Chaos, but I swear I will discover the truth.
Inquisitor Thrax: We will discover, Space Marine.
Space Marine: The Codex Astartes leaves no room for doubt: You cannot touch the Warp and emerge unscathed.
Captain Titus:The Codex Astartes is a set of rules. They guide us, shape us as Ultramarines, teach us to hold duty and honor sacred above all. But how we live with those rules is the true test of a Space Marine. And you have failed.
