The distress call

message....

Urgent priority message .....adeptus survey ship... the space hulk the Bringer of Light just exited warp space... adeptus mechanicus mining station was thought lost in the warp investigating the source of the astropathic distress signal....initiating survey scans... no sign of life.... The space hulk  is on a direct collision course to a forge world... how should we proceed... we are a survey ship....

       Vox chatter .... this is forge world tech priest... proceed to board scan....and await reinforcements....

          In the void of space a sleek dark vessel existed the warp. A black star ship of the elite deathwatch stood motionless cloaked with jamming sensors scanned and monitored the survey ship and the space hulk at a distance.

       They listened, and watched as the survey ship launched a squadron of vulture gunships to the hulk. There was a sudden flash of explosions and in the intercoms of the Black Starr heard the vox chatter of screams as the hulk defenses opened fire a volley of missile on the boarding ships.

      The survey ship burst coded chatter to the space hulks cogitators but was  blasted by incoherent codes of warning.

The survey ship vectored thrusters to starboard as searing beams of energy powered up and fired on the survey ship, destroying void shields and ripping the starboard side of hull plating  causing multiple damage to decks.

The BlackStar

In the Blackstar red retinal displays showed the survey ship had power but was floating listless in space.  Several vultures were destroyed everyone seemed dead. Then sudden vox chatter from inside the space hulk.... this is private Cohen... survived attack... crashed landed... everyone is dead  proceeding with enginseer to establish teleport beacon and disable the Defense cogitators... awaiting rescue...by the emperor....message cuts

     Just then the survey ship exploded in flames and disintegrated.

    An armored hand pressed the silence button to filter out  the screams of the dying dead..

      In the eerie light of the inner sanctum of the BlackStar ship 5 mysterious figures sheathed in black armour assembled and stood around a circular table holo deck like fabled knights viewing the Tactical  readouts of the space hulk from red eye sockets.

The Squad

Amits armor was adorned in red serrated cuts stained with blood sheathed in terminator exoskeleton. He said in a cold harsh voice ' this is no ordinary space hulk and they did not die in vain.

        'No they did not,  the survey ship was a coincidence and it gave us valuable insight into the nature of the defenses of this top secret  research station' said Maximus. Moving the holo displays, the ultramarine tech marine accessed the technical read outs 'the research station is 3 levels deep hollowed out from an elongated asteroid'. The x-ray scans showed a  self sufficient space station with a bio-dome, retrofitted with warp engines and a garrison of scientist and imperial guard.

       A mysterious cloaked figure adorned with a winged Emblem of the dark angels chapter , his  rasping voice' 24 hours a go a distress message was sent the station activated emergency protocols and is headed on a collision course to this forge world were it was built.' 'mission directives is to find out why the distress call download the data from the server and detonate the engines and leave no trace' said Baal.

   'We don't know what the adeptus mechanicus is researching as information need to  know' said Carrion of the raven guard chapter, ' we must proceed with caution.
