Stuck in Warhammer 40k(isekai)

They have a [redacted}!?

3rd person

The voices of refugees filled the manufactorum, as the guardsmen struggled to contain their numbers. Luna wolves got no rest during the following days, escorting the refugees on foot from their entry gate to their new home. Orion sensing that soon the halls might soon be overrun( and some close call of luna wolves nearly falling down on human children when playing) led to him to decree for the the now Magos Theta to expand the manufactorum area to now encompassing 4 kilometres surrounding the original core of the base. New areas were marked and soon rubble was cleaned and rebuilt, the plasma generator was connected and soon new habitation blocks were opened and new manufactorum were being opened. Even so Maximon had to work double time with Theta to help expand the algae production. Maximon's eyes did show of being overworked, tending to the wounded of the refugees for a week without sleep does take its toll, even for a space marine.

Yet with the new influence, many of Orion's problems of having too few hands were quickly resolved and now with a boost of guardsmen raising the ranks of the guard to 500 strong. Yet the problem was that most of the new guardsmen were of an armoured regiment, and fighting in urban warfare was a bit odd, but since they were all hiver they did learn quickly. Scavenging patrols became much more common then before and scrap ceramite became much more abundant and new manufactorum areas were being reactivated, with more heavy weapons being produced, from makeshift flamers to the first few autocannons.

Yet a problem rose in the council, what to do with the vehicles? Armoured warfare was not useful in the hives and they could not easily transport the vehicles from down in their to the upper levels, at least without much resources and rebuilding the infrastructure. This lead for a debate in the council of the Lernaean has led to show that it was not all well and good.

"The Baneblade has been in the regiment for over 500 years! And you two wish to scrap it for materials?!" Joseph Joffre's voice rang out. The commander of the regiment was not happy whatsoever about the prospect of his men being handed over to Jael and his vehicles becoming static defences. Yet a voice which supported Jael surprised every soul on the council: Theta.

"War is war, the machine spirits shall continue on it duty, be it the heavy bolter or the multi laser on the chimaera or the weapons on your baneblade. We do not possess the ability to properly bring them up here and leaving them there behind is akin to heresy" Theta reasons.

"Yet 'magos'. Yet would it not be heresy to break it down?!" Joseph says, his one good eye starting at the cold face plate of theta.

"Would it not be worse to have the machine spirits to be desecrated by the Xeno? Answer me Commander Joseph. I swore an oath to protect the machine exactly 79 years, 8 months, 4 days, 4 hours, 3 minutes and 28 seconds ago. Should it not be possible I will make sure the machine spirit does not fall to enemy hands and should it give us an edge, then I shall do it." Theta raised his voice as he placed his augmented hand on the table, his mechanical voice full of a rare moment of passion and of zeal.

"Worry not commander Joseph, your position shall be changed towards something new, serving under Richal, my master of the keep." Orion says gesturing to the hulking terminator.

"Still operating these turrets and angling the shots will require superb training and discipline. The prestige of your position will remain as it will be vital, by often a single well placed shot can change the course of battle and in this case it is a lascannon then it might as well count." Orion continues, yet it does not completely go ahead without issues.

The 1st Selucian heavy infantry regiment and the newly organised 10th Lethan heavy weapon regiment. It was clear that keeping them apart was the best idea, the original guardsmen under Orion's command were more heavily armoured, with many now having carapace chest plates and flank armour and their heavy infantry tactics did make sense, while the new Lethan heavy weapons regiment quickly dug into their new position. Old hab blocks became kill zones with multi-lasers covering every angle, heavy bolters created new bunkers and autocannons on top of the old hab-blocks. Meanwhile Theta and his new coven of tech priest, made out of the three remaining engineseer, started the long process of dismantling the vehicle into parts, componentes, plasteel and ceramite. All the the while a thin ring of black clad space marines formed around the tech priest. While the luna wolves got a new task ahead of them.
