Roken looked up from the holoscreen. inside the battlebunker the green light of the many datalog computers and other machineries gave the surrounding figures a dark and sinister look. In the middle of the room stood the command throne, a command device dating back to the days of the great crusade. on top of it sat the commanding officer vaugn, a tall and porud man, his face pale and full of grooves of age. a man raised for a carreer, and the exact opposite of roken himself, a man raised from the regiment. he left a tickle again in his left leg."nonsence" he told himself as he reached for it with his bionic left arm,touching the brass covered leg, for it had been a bionic for a long time now. As roken began to think of ages past, when he was still a true warrior, a man that faced his opponents head on, lasgun in his hands. many years had passed and now where once he had held a lasgun he now fielded a datascreen control panel. where he once had stared with his eyes into the devastion that was known as war, he now was only surrounded by darkness, the holoscreens being the only lightsource in the cadians 812th command bunker. there was a time where roken would struggle to kill even a single man. now he wielded the firepower of almost half the artillery regiment.
"roken!" a strong voice shouted out again, snapping him out of his thoughts " order artillery battery 12 to 21 to fire upon coordinates 24AACC-21BFFF. bring down the rain!"

Roken looked up to his holoscreen again, locating gridpiece 24AACC-21BFFF. enhanced scanner satelite pictures popping up on his right screen showed it had once been a orphanage, which pretty much ment it was a recruitmentbase for the local PDF force. a pdf force that had now gone rogue...
"this would teach them" he thought to himself as he send out the order to battery 12 to 21. mere seconds later he could already hear the dimmed out sound of artilleryshells being fired.

raven looked up. as she was spitting out blood, mark knelt down in front of her. "we'll need to leave you raven, HQ ordered us to push on or the rebels might break through! i'll take the demoli..."
his sentence was ended by an autogun round blowing off his head.
As raven got covered by a mixture of flesh, blood and brains she reached for her lasgun. she knew the traitors would be upon her position soon and getting ready to fight was priority nr 1. taking care of her shotwounds second. it didn't take long before she saw the first traitor. a strong and pale brute, his upper body stripped of all skin except for some patches on his chest, forming the chaos star. she immediatly fired upon the rebel,her lasgun burning a hole in his right leg. the rebel dropped to his knee and as he looked up she unleashed a second, better aimed pulse, burning a clear hole in the rebels head. before the body dropped to the ground more rebels were in front of her, autoguns ripping through the ground in front of her. Raven was a veteran of the 812th and exactly knew what faith awaited her. dropping her lasgun she reached for her belt, pulling out the squads demolition charge. As she started whispering out the last malediction she closed her eyes and waited for the rebels to close in, the demolition charge resting upon her blooded chest. instead of the burning battlefield surrounding her she tried to think of the lovely sight of a silent and idealicriver, crawling through a grassland. the image was quickly banned for her mind as she heard the crackling voices of 5 rebels laughing with her. as she opened her eyes she could see the first one only 2 meter away from her, a bloody and rusted blade in front of him, his body covered in gore and a cut-up pdf officers uniform. as her eyes met his, she stared into them coldly."for the emperor!!" she cried out, blood spilling out of her mouth by every word she said as she pulled out the pin of the demolition charge.
