Bren waited for the reply from command until a bleep on his HUD displayed an incoming signal.
"This is command, your casualties have been made aware of and back up teams are entering the facility now, medical teams are also en route. Tenebrae troops have made progress on the main dock level and have reported they have found a survivor, we also have confirmation of IRS and Carnaith troops also entering the facility, also the Sicarii have been unconfirmed to have a presence here now" There was a pause as Bren listened "Your pictures have been received and are being distributed... they are.. horrific, we advise caution and to link up with allied forces before pushing on. Command out" Bren powered down his coms and turned to his squad, they were resting in the hallway. He activated the tactical display on his arm computer and beckoned the squad to gather. they all gathered round.
"Right, I just got off the horn with command, we are going to link up with nearby forces before we push on further" he pointed at the map. "We are here, the nearest forces to us are an Carnaithian squad that is 4 corridors away, Union additional troops are coming up behind us to secure and reinforce. I suggest extreme caution when advancing I'm sure we haven't seen all this place has to throw at us" The squad nodded in approval and activated their energy blades in preparation to move out.
"Epsilon pattern advancement, let's go" Bren did the same and took the head of the now formed triangular formation.
The squad rounded another corner, only one more to go before they should encounter the Carnaithian squad. Constant sensor sweeps still showed the glitchy life form signs that were all around them but at least the Carnaithian squads life signs remained unchanged. a sudden roar from down one of the corridors in front made the team stop.
"What the hell was that..." One of them said on internal coms.
"Team.. get ready this could be ugly" Bren replied, they advanced ever so slowly, when all of a sudden screams and gunfire could be heard from afar... from where the Carnaithian squad was...
"Shit! come on we have to help them!" Bren shouted and the Heavy power armoured squad ran forward, weirdly though there was no other life sign and the squad in fronts life signs remained as normal despite the horrific sounds ahead. The squad rounded the final corner to find a Carnaithian trooper standing there in the middle of the hall way, he had no weapon but looked completely serene like he was somewhere else, Bren noticed the sheer amount of mutilated corpses around the trooper.
"Weapons stay up" He said on internal coms then activated his suites voice unit which produced a harsh grating voice "This is Bren of the Union of Worlds, we are here to help... hello?" The trooper merely smiled in a completely impossible rictus grin filled with needle sharp teeth.
"Emperors Fucking balls..." One trooper said. Bren raised his weapons and the weird troopers stepped forward and a voice came from its mouth without any movement.
"All that you know, is at an end" The squad was puzzled when all of a sudden the trooper exploded into thousands of tentacles which went straight for Brens squad.
"Fuck sake..." Bren muttered as he hacked a tentacle in half, his squad did the same, hacking and slashing but more and more kept coming... he heard a cry from his right and Bren saw a tentacle piece a troopers armour, he instantly turned into a skeleton as whatever was in the air ate him in seconds, the body and his massive suite of armour fell forwards dead.
"Damn it we need support!" Bren shouted as he deflected another tentacle which was impossible fast and lethal. In that moment there was a blur of movement and in seconds the tentacles in front of the squad were cut in half. A Figure appeared wearing a white and red armour and moved like lightning, he held some sort of energy weapon and the figure ran into the mass of tentacles now replenishing themselves, the man grabbed something from his belt and threw it into the tentacles, he then jumped back and there was a bright glare as the corridor and all in it was reduced to ash, the figure merely stood there watching, but Bren could hear heat warning sirens on his suite. A moment later and the light was gone, and so too was the figure. Bren and the squad regrouped.
"I guess that was the Sicarii..." One trooper said.
"I guess so..." Bren replied. suddenly movement down the corridor caught the squads eye and they all turned ready, Bren lowered his weapon as he saw it was a IRS team moving in.
"Well at least we know somebody else is alive..." Bren smiled.
