CLEANSE AND BURN

The Space Marines hastened through the narrow corridors, closely pursued by the sound of the
savage genestealers. Taking turns covering each other and heading for the exit, the squad
slowly advanced towards their designated exitpoint. Even though the genestealers were hot 
on their trails, the portal to the elevator slammed shut behind them. Only the comforting 
strength of a bulkhead separated the marines and the genestealers by three feet. However, 
no matter how sharp and powerful the claws were, it would only be a couple of seconds before
the elevator was activated and the marines were out of harms way. The C.A.T. was acquired. 

Transported to an isolated server storage 10 stories away, free from danger, the marines took
time to connect the C.A.T. to both the internal communications system as well to a hub 
connecting them with Commander Bellisario. The information of the C.A.T. transferred to
authority and then was passed on through to the best experts in the Empire. A meeting quickly
was summoned and the future of the "Sin of Damnation" should then be discussed.

Waiting that outcome, Commander Bellisario gave the Space Marines a more urgent task. Another 
scoutcrew had been killed and the remains of those technicians lay not far 
away in a heating facility.

In order to make sure any mutations was stopped these bodies had to be destroyed. The heating
regulators themselves were the second objective. Could the squad manage to destroy them as well,
the temperature in the nearby floors would drop to almost zero degrees. Even though this would
not affect the full-grown genestealers, all eggs and fetus would succumb under the cold climate.
The marines themselves were also protected against this as their suits gave them both warmth 
as well as armourment.

How ironic it still seemed, the best way of destroying the regulators was by firing a burst
of napalm onto them. The remaining soldiers of the previous missions, although fatigued
from their efforts, programmed their armourment to increase the dose of adrenaline and entered 
the coordinates to the level of the regulators.
