"We did well today brother." Lucas said.
"Aye, that we did, but this was merely a skirmish, the true mission begins soon." Magnus replied, before setting his heavy bolter to safe and joining the other scouts as they headed to the rendezvous co-ordinates.

The Grenade Blast threw debris from the room and Sgt Agrippa was instantly in and scanning the room for any targets.
Nothing! No Targets.
His Scanner readout on his HUD showed nothing and his senses and vast experience told him that the rest of the wing was clear.
He put up his gun and made ready to clear the rest of the floor when a dull double burst of bolter fire from the other wing made him stop and turn….then the thump of a grenade made him open the Fire team Vox.
“BROTHER ACHILLES, CAMILLUS, SITREP”
In the several seconds that it took for Brother Achilles to respond he scanned the room. Wrecked cogitators and smashed repeater screens littered the room among the remains lay several adepts who had been caught in the building. By the looks of the desiccated bodies they had lain there for some weeks a sure sign that this particular part of the city had not been under Imperial Control.
The vox crackled.
+++ Achilles to Agrippa. Western Wing clear Sergeant. Coming back to you presently.+++
Seconds later Camillus reported in.
++ Brother Camillus reporting, we had an incident with a grenadier. However the threat is neutralised and we retain no serious injuries. Camillus out.++
Bringing up his tactical layout on his data pad Sgt Agrippa could see the rest of Strike Force Alpha.
“BROTHER ACHILLES, CAMILLUS, BELAY, PICK A WINDOW AND GIVE SUPPRESSING FIRE TO THE NORTH”
Looking down at the dead acolytes he swore an oath that their deaths would not go un-avenged before turning, as Brothers Cartern and Muleto Stormed into the room and stopped awaiting instructions.
"PICK A NORTH FACING WINDOW BROTHERS AND PROVIDE SUPPRESSION FIRE"
With out waiting for a response Brother Sgt Agrippa raised his weapon and moved to clear the rest of the east wing.
OOC: Sorry for my absence chaps – my PC is dead and I have not been at work for 2 weeks.
Edited to show that Muleto and Cartern had joined me!

As the sergeant had received the order he activated his Vox link "Quintus to all scouts , operation complete. Safe your weapons and rendezvous at the head of the convoy for fresh orders." Petronius flipped the shot selector to safe like the sergeant before following. As they walked to wards the head of the convoy Petronius looked around, the buildings were little more then ruins now, and barely standing. There would not be anything useful here for quite some time.
As they passed the convoy he saw the so called guardsmen, some still cowering behind their barricades, some were wounded, and others were running around following the orders of their superiors. To think that the guardsmen needed the help of the Emperors angels of death to clear something like this, it had been easy, the traitors had been destroyed with relative ease and with zero casualties.
As they reached the head of the convoy Petronius placed himself at the back of the others preferring not to stand out to much among his brothers.

”There can be no hesitation Diaclois. Remember that. Now come, there are two more heretics that require judgement.”
Damnit! thought Diaclois. What a fool he was. His heretical thinking had nearly gotten him and his brothers killed. Who was he to judge the God-Emperor, he who rules thousands of worlds and trillions of lives? He should not have hesitated. Brother Shalluat had not, he had been quick to kill the heretic. Still cursing himself, he stood up. Kraytirous gave him a small nod, and after a few moments Diaclois responded with a tentative nod of his own.
Several loud cracks of a bolt weapon punctured the air, followed by silence. The battle-brothers ran through the ruins, hopping rubble and came into the last ruined block to see Commander Zenodius and a dead mutant next to him. He sheathed his bolt pistol and turned to the two battle brothers. With a swift nod he apprised them of the situation.
“The area is clear. Make your way to the command chimera and rendezvous with Apothecary Silvanus and Brother Flavius. Once you have linked up set up a close perimeter around the convoy while the apothecary sees to the wounded. I will meet you there.“
"Yes sir..." Diaclois murmured. He would not fail again...

"PICK A NORTH FACING WINDOW BROTHERS AND PROVIDE SUPPRESSIVE FIRE!" yelled Sergeant Agrippa.
Jacen nodded and moved to the nearest window. He could see that the Commander, Apothecary Silvanus, and the Scouts were regrouping by the PDF convoy.
There wasn't too much gunfire hitting the convoy so his fellow marines could stand up safely. He scanned the far windows for muzzle flashes but saw few to none. That must mean that either the majority of the Traitors had been pushed back, they had fallen back, or they were just waiting for the marines to attack.
Jacen looked back to the convoy. He wondered how many PDF troopers had survived. If they were all dead then this mission was pointless.
