SEIZ AND SECURE

The sergeant was another survivor of the chapters fated encounter with the 'Spawn of Execration'.
In all his years of service, the abortive mission to seize the space hulk was his most vivid, 
most horrific memory. He had seen things no ordinary man could ever imagine, and lived through
experiences no normal human could endure or comprehend. In time, as the years passed and memory
blurred all his past wars and battles together, sergeants sense of wonder had dulled, and the
extraordinary had become commonplace. But he had never forgotten the chapters struggle against
the genestealers.  

It seemed it would haunt him forever.

Every single detail of their battle on that hulk lay engraved on his memory. It was a horror he
would like to be able to forget, but couldnt. In his dreams he relived the fight over and over
again. Running through the maze of claustrophobic corridors and dark rooms. Genestealers charging
at them from all directions, alien killing machines without fear or conscience. No matter how many
stealers they killed, more and more had thrown themselves forward. Ten, fifty, hundreds dead, it
made no difference. The monsters kept coming in an endless stream. Now he was going to have to
face the horror again. If he could only survive this day, he believed he would conquer the deamons
of his own personal fears.

The sergeant had been charged with securing a bridgehead on the hulk, a secure area for the rest
of the force to board. Scans had revealed an ideal location but there were blips approaching from
four different directions. It was the marines' duty to secure the boarding section by sealing the
bulkhead at each entry point.

The rest of the squad needed more time to deploy and it came down to the Alpha squad to
give them those extra minutes to set up their perimiter.
