MENACE

So far, the action to take the space hulk was going well. The captain had spent decades studying
genestealers and developing tactics to deal with them. He had a sound strategy worked out, and the
personal experience to back it up. The chapters Terminator company was at full strength, and keen
to restore the honor of the chapter. The dangers of a space hulk could never be underestimated,
but the chapter was now better prepared than they had ever been before. 

Scans of the ship had shown fairly high concentration of genestealers throughout, so the sergeant
was not surprised by the number of blips showing on his scanner. The original landing had gone
well with no further casualties after the bridgehead had been established and now they were to
start a push towards the heart of the hulk, clearing the area as they advanced. Their second 
objective was to secure a second perimeter further into the hulk. Section by section this
hulk was going to be secured.

A brief message over the comm-link from another squad informed him they had just encountered 
heavy resistance, and could do with assistance. Though the squads did know where they were in 
relation to each other, it was often difficult to meet up. The passages seemed to have no 
logical layout, and turned and twisted apparently at random. The doors would sometimes swing 
open as they approached, or could prove so difficult to open that they had to blow their way 
through with storm bolter fire.

According to the scanner, the other squads should be directly ahead of their current position,
hopefully through the door at the end of the passage, but then again, this was a Space Hulk
not a VR-machine safe in the training facilities of the Empire..
