The odd group kept marching forward, composed of 20 ogryn, 2 stormtroopers, a hive governor and a terminator. The ogryns had to be encouraged by Orion, their panic in being stuck underground becoming more evident for the minute. Orion could not blame them, most of them stood at 8 terran feet in height and were litteral walls of muscle. Going into such a small space with no place to move must be unnerving, it does not help the most to have the intelligence of 4 year olds. They jump at every shadow they see, which Orion finds amusing at times, well he does have the soul of a 40k nerd.

As they move forward to try to find the last Luna wolf, the corridors become more pleasant. Not much, but at least there's now sewage in their heads. As soon as they entered a relatively big and well lit chamber, in front stood a massive door of adamantium most likely, in the middle of it there was the symbol of house Donha.

"Smash door?" the biggest Ogryn asked, pointing his makeshift club

"No" Orion said, as Markus got closer, which caused the ogryn to be saddened.

"You will smash many cultists' skulls when we get home," Orion said, trying to say it seriously. This caused the ogryn to be happy.

Markus got closer to the structure and put his hand on it. Soon a small lid opened the top and came outside a servo skull, its head had the symbol of the apothecarium. It got closer to Markus and got a needle out, with that Markus got his hand out and the needle got a drop of blood.

"House Donha recognised, you may enter." the metallic voice of the servo skull responded and the door opened and it led the way, soon every member of the odd group entered. Inside the corridors were clean and well kept, the more they entered the more cables came from the ground leading soon to the cold room, the temperatures in deeper areas was sub zero. From their distance they saw massive vats, growing inside them something... geneseed.

"Markus is that you? I have not seen you since you were a child." A voice came, it had a heavy accent, Chthonian in nature.

"How long were you in statis this time?" Markus asked, his voice stern.

"18 decades, why?" The space marine came to light, he was clad in mk4 maximus armour, he had all the modification of the apothecary be it the helmet with medical equipment to scan and the arm with the narthecium.

"A war had happened and we required your help." Markus responds

"Alright let me talk to the other Donha and-" the space marine was going to continue.

"They are all dead, do you not understand, right now the only bastion left is being commanded by a few astartes like you, so will you please listen!" Markus' anger boiled over and so did his grief over all his loss.

"Will you aid us or not?" Orion appeared next to Markus, with that he drew his chainsword and bolt pistol.

"Alpha legion. I know your tricks, what do you want?" his voice was hostile with Orion.

"We require your aid, not me, not my time lost brother who, like you, were stuck in the warp, but all of this planet.

"Wait, there are more like me" he put his bolt pistol down.

"Dark angels, they lost their homeworld due to the end of the heresy and were stuck in the warp, then they got with me." Orion says quickly.

"... alright, I will aid you, mostly due to the lack of chaos marks on your armour. So what type of foe are we fighting?" He says he knows he bit the bait, but he needs to know if there is more.
