The sound of a distant explosion jolts you awake
Dizzy and confused you try to stand and survey your surroundings
The damage to your body is extensive but manageable
Corpses cover the floor like a cheap carpet
Its hard to make things out clearly due to damaged optical receptors
The picture gradually becomes clear
Guardsmen, demons and your fallen AdMech brothers everywhere
You begin to recall what led to this moment
Archmagos Gosling gave your squad a mission of the highest priority
Recover a sacred artifact that he believes belonged to the Kroniissiah herself
Things were going well you thought, with the help of the local guardsmen regiment you tracked the items location in no time at all
Little did you or your brothers know that this was all a trap laid by worshippers of the chaos god Haachama
The cultists had begun their demon summoning rituals well before you even touched down on the planet
The trap was sprung so fast you were all caught off guard despite hundreds of years of combat experience
As the only survivor of the ambush you begin to give thanks to the Kroniissiah
Your prayers are interrupted by a disgusting fleshy noise outside the room
Demons, hundreds of the bastards judging by the volume of their screeching, and they know you are there
Without hesitation you look around and grab the nearest working weapon
You let out a very disappointed sigh, its a lasgun
Thrilled at the idea of having to hold out with a glorified flashlight you prepare for combat
After offering one last prayer to the Kroniissiah you raise the lasgun towards the door just as demons start rushing in
Your resolve is unmatched and your aim is steady, one by one the demons drop
Things start to look grim once the lasgun runs dry
Then suddenly an incredibly loud thud from outside grabs the attention of all the demons
They freeze in place no longer interested in you
The room is dead silent with only that thud breaking said silence
The noise repeats in a steady rhythm, growing closer with each beat
You recognize the noise now and let out a chuckle
This time the silence is not broken by the thud but a primordial war cry
"SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX"
Before they can even react half the demons before you are turned into a fine red mist
The legendary Dreadnought Takeshi has arrived to aid in your struggle
Takeshi lets out another war cry, "Even in death I am still SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX"
The last of the demons are quickly eliminated with his massive amount of firepower
As the Dreadnought heads off to its next battle the war cry of "SEEEEEEEEEEEEX" echoes in the air
Now it is time to resume your mission, the holy artifact must be reclaimed
With a brief search the lower levels you finally come across it
A golden hourglass that shines brighter than anything you've ever seen before
With the artifact in hand you link up with your brothers and leave the planet
After delivering the artifact and making your report to the Archmagos you retire to your personal quarters for some well deserved rest and maintenance
Later that night you are blessed by a vision of the Kroniissiah
While you stare at her in awe she begins to address you
"Your faith and determination have been tested this day and you passed with flying colors. Rest well my weary warrior"
