The battle over the LZ was growing more intense by the minute as imperial fighters mixed it up with tau ships. Occasionally a flight or two will break off from the fight and make a strafing run on the enemy forces to support the 88th in its battle to clear the LZ. Slowly the imperials were taking back the sky. “Commander! Whatever your going to do….You better do it soon! I don’t know how much longer we can keep this dance going!” Red Leader informed the CAG. “Roger Red 1 reinforcement’s inbound, good luck!” The CAG responded.

Out of the cruiser another wave of imperial fighters were launched into the atmosphere, several squadrons of Thunderbolts and Lightning interceptors were launched into the furball. The reinforcements broke thru and opened a corridor into the LZ “Blue leader, CAG we have an open door. I repeat we have an open door, over.”

CM listened to the vox reports from the command ship “What’s the status on that stray lander, officer?” He asked “We are still looking for them sir, the lander is way off the designated LZ, we estimate over 20 miles from the LZ sir, but we are too involved in stabilizing the LZ that we have not had a chance to send out a recon team to find them.” The officer reported back.

“Too bad, the good General will have to do without one of his officers, make sure you find out what officer was on that ship, I’m sure the commissariat will have something to say about disobeying orders or something like that, they enjoy dishing out punishment. Also inform the general to prepare for a surface assault! Tell the CAG they have a green light for launch!” As CM stood in his heroic pose.

The call went out for all troop ships to dispatch the 89th Division into the battle. The two troop ships began launching drop ships into the atmosphere. An escort of imperial fighters joined the drop ships as defensive weapons on the landers went online. The landers much larger than the ones used by the 88th because of the heavy armor being transported down were larger targets for the enemy, but due to the imperial navy opening the sky for the drop the risk of similar losses suffered by the 88th was less. Among the drop ships was one very large Mechanicum Drop Ship that had also dropped from the black ship, its cargo bay was huge.

“This thing handles like a brick!” the pilot told his co-pilot “We’re cleared to land sir, put this brick down and unload sir!” the co-pilot said.

The cargo ships landed on the ground dwarfing all the other drop ships already down, as the bay doors rolled back and its cargo began the process of rolling out. From the ship exited the Leviathan Class mobile command fortress “Fortress Maximus” with weapons online and ready to join the battle……

“All landers are cleared to land near the Maximus, do not stray from the LZ, and have a Nice Day!” the CAG informed the ships….

Battle is joined, welcome dirt side 89th, you can begin landing now the pattern is cleared.

Henimann punched his fist in the air as he felt his regiment's lander begin its descent.

"Lieutenant, take us down as fast as you can - Ive heard theres a party I want to crash dirtside."

"Aye, aye, sir.  ETA five minutes."   The Navy pilot adjusted his lander's trajectory, allowing it to land simultaneously with the Mechanicus mega-lander.   

With a thud, the lander hit dirt.   Henimann smiled as the assault ramp began to lower, and the engines of the 200 tanks of the Solean 57th roared into full power.  He keyed his regimental voxnet.

"Tankers of the 57th! I expect every one of you to muck in!  Captain Hayes, get your AA troop's Hydras going - I want those blue bastards to get blown out of the sky!   Major Pyssis, get your Griffon batteries into firing position as soon as you can, then drop a hammer on any hostiles in range!  The rest of you, dozer blades down, guns hot!  I want you to shoot anything hostile in sight, and if you cant shoot it, run it over!"

He then switched to the division vox-net as Pookie lurched forward, one of the first Solean tanks off the lander and onto Distilleri. 

"Soldiers of the 89th Armored Division!   Treads of Fury!  Were finally on the ground, so lets get to work!"

He then looked over to his left, and watched as the massive Leviathan began to rumble out of its lander.   

"Cover the big boy until it gets itself situated! After that, lets give the enemy a whuppin!

                                                                                                                                                                                     

Finally on the ground and shooting things.  Ah, home sweet home...

Officers of the 89th, expect a PM soon.

In the minutes between now and previously, Private Schwatze had reminded Captain Straken of the section motorbikes that would have been used for recon ahead of the armoured formation (OOC, mentioned in one of my previous posts, so I haven't pulled that one out my ass). Seeing a good opportunity, he gave Schwatze his first combat objective of the war; Scout out for friendly troops and attempt to request recovery for the vehicles. For this mission, Straken saw fit to promote him to corporal, if only to allow the fellow to have some sway with the assigned escort soldier. It was a long shot, but atleast it was something.

Now;

Straken watched to two motorbikes speed through the woodland and out of sight. As he looked up to the skies, and noticed a cluster of black dots grow steadily larger. He grabbed at his webbing belt for his trusty pair of binoculars, or at least where they should have been. One of the flight crew had stowed them during the terminal desent.
Mental note, get my binoculars back. Wait, my rifle has optics...

He used the combat optical sight on the rifle to observe the dots. Even with only about 3x zoom, he could clearly see them as heavy vehicle landers, the 89th. At least the battle was continuing, if not exactly to plan.

Cpl. Jones checked his straps one more time as the lander jerked and rattled its way planet-side. "Hell, it's about time..."

When the lander his the ground, after a quick prayer of thanks to the Emperor, he got himself unstrapped outside, sticking with Captain Underhand's command squad until ordered otherwise.

“Brevet” Corporal Schwatze and Private Muh Muh Muh pulled away and began their mission to contract friendly forces. While they were away, those remaining at the crash site began to secure the area and rescue those still trapped within the Hermes. Progress was slow as munitions and other hazards were loose with the hull. Guardsman were retrieved and returned to fire teams as they were retrieved. Under strength fire teams were merged either due to casualties or to difficulty in reaching the required areas. Medico’s were overwhelmed and forced to draft any swinging dick in reach to treat impact and concussion injuries.

It wasn’t long before Schwatze began reporting contacts. Shrieking and wooping noises were heard. Movement in the woods was detected but not those making it. Schwatze and Muh Muh Muh avoided a few obvious blockages in the road while avoiding contact as much as possible. The command net grew louder as Schwatze reported movement in the trees….

Those able to tore their communication beads or headsets off as soon as the screaming began. Initially the screams were to turn and engage, then to fight where they’d landed, then for the pain to end. Eventually the screams sounded as if the two men were being eaten alive which perhaps they were.

The shrieks and woops began to close upon Hermes’ location. Soon they were audible to the naked ear. Soon they were heard from not only the path Schwatze had taken but from the flanks and then from everywhere. Shrill cries and warbling as if Celine Dion had landed on Distilleri and decided to perform an impromptu concert for the lads. With the noise came reports of movement within the wooded areas and random gun fire. The shots appeared to be relatively unaimed yet still managed to strike far to close to moving Guardsmen and those under cover. The fire began to intensify while remaining from nothing heavier than a troop rifle.

“Emperor be with us…” mouthed one trooper.
“A prayer's as good as bayonet on a day like this,” replied a close sergeant. “Still, I suggest you go with both…”

“Why is it us? Why us?” Cried a trooper struggling with a wounded comrade.
“Because we're here, lad. Nobody else. Just us,” snapped a medico.

The position was soon to be under attack…..

Schwatze and Muhler (a name for the poor sod) drove through the wood on the road at a fast pace.  Upon noting the noise he signals for Muhler to get down.  they come to a stop and get behind a near by stump and fallen log.  Getting the bikes in cover from the direction the noise is coming from and unslings their rifles.  They looked around both ways looking for the movement watching for any enemies or allies.  And made sure they stayed quite because he doubted the movement saw him.

Schwatze - you're hearing the screams of other security elements being attacked and it really doesn't sound pretty

They've already seen you, they can smell you and your machines, they approach very slowly and from all sides. Muhler suddenly staggers across his bike but before you're able to chastise him you see the spear that has impaled him through his chest. Muhler goes down hard but at least manages to throw a frag grenade out towards where the spear had came from. The grenade detonates and the shrill cries begin once more. Closer this time.

Wuxiong's guardsmen and commissars were woken up upon hearing that they are taking off. Descending down from the skies, they had heavy turbulence and guardsmen were bracing in their tanks and transports. Wuxiong was relatively happy that he was finally taking down onto the dirt and was thinking one thing "I'm going to scream at Straken for touching the dirt before me..."

When the lander thudded, guardsmen cheered and the ramp lowered to the local environment. "Emperor be praised! Adjutant, time to take the planet... I want those Tank companies to be rumbling out FIRST, they'll be followed by our Mechanised Infantry and Hydra AA forces which will be covered by the armour! Those artillery I want set up afterwards for bombardment of the enemy! Inform our officers of this battle plan now!"

"Yes sir! Will transmit these orders to our regimental officers sir!" then Fei proceeded to transmit these orders to the regiment's commanders.

"Now... I want to get in touch with Captain Staken... He is MY officer and MY responsibility. If he is dead before I scream at him, it's not going to look good on my part as well..." Wuxiong then thought to himself, before ordering "Adjutant, once you've given these orders to our regimental officers, see to it that you establish contact with Straken and his lander, I need every man available if we're going to win!"

"Sir! It will be done sir!" replied Guardsman Fei.

As he looked on, he saw the huge masses of tanks starting to roar and rumble out, followed by the Mechanised Infantry and AA Hydra flak tanks. He then thought to himself "Time to roll..."

Guardsman Fei was then trying to establish contact with Captain Straken "Captain Straken, sir?! Captain Straken?! Do you read me?! Repeat, do you read me?!"

"From all directions come on" Schwatze tells him self.  "What am i going to do?"  Ba-ding an idea pops into his head!  He revs his bike and throws it out while he accurately empties his mag into the enemies he can see or empties it fast if he cant see them in rapid shoots the way Muhler spear came from.  Slapping in a new mag he get's on his dead comrades bike and drives off at top speed towards the descending lander he see's coming down a few miles down the road.  Hoping this lander has working heavy lifting gear and tanks to kill these probably kroot in this forest.  (Fire warriors and Battle suits don't throw spears).

Straken listened to the shrill animalistic calls resonating in the woods, and the dying screams of two of his men.

'Schaefer, either we've discovered a new native xenos population, or we have Kroot about to be upon us. We NEED to strengthen our lines. Before they get too close, get the most able men to start forming a perimeter barricade, we'll need to keep them at bay as long as possible if they attack in force. And update the Distress message to say that We NEED large sections of woodland around us Inferno bombing. Unless they wish too loss we so soon; just don't put it so bluntly.'

He considered his options, there was no point in keeping the men in the dark about the situation, that only increased their unease.

'Men of the 57th heavy panzer battalion. I speak to you now as not only our commander, but a fellow Stygian soldier. We have fought side by side for too long now for this to be the end. As tankers, it is our destiny, and choice, to die a fiery and quick death in our steel coffins! Not to a bunch of stick wielding savages! And we have seen this particular breed of stunted scum before, on Gustav VIII, and slaughtered them there too. The Imperial Guard doesn't like more than one disaster in a day. It Looks bad in the newsholos and upsets the top brass at their breakfast.'


Several of the men laughed at the last comment, the stereotypes were usually true with the guard officers.

'Battlegroup Lieutenant Blithe, round up the five best rifle shots in the battalion, and post them on a vatage point on the lander. From there, they should have a good view of our lines, I will join them there once the battle begins.

'Very good, Captain Straken. anything else?

'Get any remaining scouting detachments inside the perimeter, the woods are too dangerous to operate in without considerable assistance. If you can get through to Schwatze, tell him to do what he needs to survive. We cannot offer any assistance if he gets into bother. For us, now well play the waiting game, let then run onto our guns.'

Trying to re-enforce pisition in expectation for a Kroot assault.

Updated distress message to call for immediate inferno strikes on the tree line to expand the no-mans land between my defensive lines and the woodland.

Wish Schwatze all hope, not much else I can do really :/.

Slapping in a new mag he get's on his dead comrades bike and drives off at top speed towards the descending lander he see's coming down a few miles down the road.

There’s a commotion of movement about the area as the Kroot attackers adjusted their encircling manoeuvre. Seeing the Guard soldier ride his vehicle directly into a thickly vegetated area amused if not impressed the kindred watching. Far more adept in movement through the woods, the Kroot easily kept track of Schwatze by moving in all three dimensions. It was during a momentary lull as Schwatze attempted to find a path around a wind fall tree trunk that a large and rather well decorated Kroot revealed himself upon a nearby limb. The Kroot was slightly taller and wider than the other Kindred and was wearing numerous small tatters of fabric, armour, and feathers. The Kroot underarm tossed a small cylinder to Schwatze’s feet which pulsed then detonated in a bright light. Yet Schwatze was unharmed and regained his sight in seconds. However, Schwatze soon found his bike was completely unresponsive, his communications bead the same, and his lasgun warming itself up once more from shut down. The Kroot cackles and raises its hand to show a full palm. One by one the talons on his hand drop in time with an inner count.

Major Arah was shaken awake by Trooper Iruves.

"We are cleared to land sir!"

"THEN LET'S GET ON WITH IT!!"

The 48th Voldarian's drop ship, The Big One, descended from its holding pattern above the planet and made it to the LZ in a timely manner. With little incident now that the skies were mostly clear.

"Lets hit the dirt! Move out boys! We circle around the hive from the east and head west to meet with Wuxiongs men! Where is the rest of the 89th!?!?"

"We haven't heard from them yet sir."

"Oh #!#$. Fine we push ourselves now. The 76th need us to make it there in time. Move out"

In a cloud of exhaust fumes and dust the 48th rolled out to the already roaring battle.

The inelegant lander craft Porcinus hit the panet hard, gouging a dity black scar across what had been several ather picturesque agriplots.

The impact of the entirely finesse free landing had caused Captain Underhand to bite his tongue, having forgotten to clench his jaw prior to touchdown.  Inside the cavernous interior of the Porcinus, the 1st Sejanean were already prepped for deployment the second the exit ramp unfolded, having embarked into their vehicles prior to the drop.

Chiding himself for making such a rookie mistake, Underhand turned the pict scanner of hs Command Chimera towards himself and addressed the men of the First Sejanean.

"Gentlemen, and men.  We all know our mission.  We have been given the van.  It is a position of honour, given to the best of the army.  We have it because we're the best at what we do, and what we do is move fast, find the enemy and kill them.  I'm not going to remind you of your jobs, because you all already know them, and you wouldn't be here if you weren't already exceedingly good at them.  Now get out there, stick to the plan and stay together.  Underhand, out."

The disembarkation doors of the Porcinus cracked open, curving back around its hull, the light of Distillerii breaking into the lander.  The second the gap was wide enough, the first of the Scout Sentinels leapt out, down onto the fresh grass of a feeding paddock, it's newly fitted Lascannon scanning the horizon as its squad members armed with Missile Launchers hit the ground behind it.  The first squad leapt forward, bouncing towards the nearest low ridgeline, more Sentinels hitting the ground behind them as the inside of the Porcinus sounded with the deafening roars of the engines of the First Sejanean Chimeras.

======================================================================================================================

The 1st Sejanean are on the ground, out of the ship, and ready to grind Tau and Traitor alike into the same purplish pink paste underneath their treads.

Guardsman Godspeed had spent most of his time aboard the 48th's drop ship, The Big One, soundly asleep. If there was one thing that his service in the guard had taught him, it was to catch a sleep or a snack whenever he had nothing else to do, and at the moment he didn't feel hungry - though as all experienced troopers, he had a small stash of ration bars hidden in the various pockets on his uniform, as well as bags of roasted nuts, dried fruits and small chocolates. All mashed up into what was lovingly called a "coma mix," a "coma" being the state a soldier found himself in when he had not slept or eaten in a long time.

It was not the best of sleeps, however. The benches inside this particular chimera was unstuffed, so he had been forced to pull out a blanket from the netted rack behind him, and put it on his seat. The helmet was also heavy, straining the neck, but taking it off was no option, safety regulations and all that, so he leant his head on the but off the rifle, with the nuzzle being firmly planet on the metal floor - one of the few situation when it was adviseable to push the gun downwards like that. Thankfully, the temperature had been comfortable, and so his fears of constantly shaking and waking up to hyperventilation had been unfounded. Most of the men had put in the earplugs beforehand, as the landing ship was rather loud, and when the Chimera itself started up, things would get louder.

"A'ight! Rolling out!" the Wagon Commander said into the microphone of his helmeted headset. He, the sergeant in charge of the squad Godspeed found himself assigned to, and the Wagon Driver way in the front - a good chap, Wagon Drivers were always well liked as they represented relative comfort, warmth and safety - were all discussing different things, such as drive order, whether or not the different vox nets were functioning.

"You need to be on the Adepta net to listen in on the company comms!" the Commander said harshly.

"I bloody well know that! It's just that this damn vox is set to a day before the others! I need to reconfig the entire Emperor-damned thing! THRONE! I hate this crap!" the Squad leader replied, while furiously pushing buttons.

Godspeed decided to zone out and get some more rest, as the Chimera began rolling out. It was in the nature of mech-infantry. One second you were asleep in the wagon, two seconds later you were forming a defensive perimeter with clear cut orders to go and clear out a heavily entrenched enemy position. It was a thing that took some time learning, but it was necessary.

Onanon checked his ammunition for the thirtyith time while riding the flank of a Leman Russ.
His penal legionaires had all developed charming personalities:

There was Doctor Swole, with impressive abdominal aesthetics. He had bargained a protein drip off a Mech-Wright to prevent muscle catabolism, in exchange for a master-crafted fleshlight from the Dark Age of technology.

Raven Huntress,  a half-Eldar Space Marine Cannoness. She's 16 years old, stunningly beautiful, has rainbow colored eyes (they undulate with color, ever-shifting, only staring on one shade or hue just long enough for your brain to recognize it), reflective silver-white hair, and has singlehandedly eradicated 17 greater daemons.

An overweight, balding man named Raymond. Heavily into leather.

A body double of Onanon, still a blank and formless state. When shocked or stressed, he repeats the actions and phrases of those around him.

The seedy solipist, Murphy.

Still under Plisken's boot, they were en route to reinforce the encirclement attempt.

Gonna do the prep bit first

"Colonel!"

Colonel Talon Raven woke with a start, from a particularly good dream involving two Sisters of Battle (twins, they were). Adjutant Hartmann was staring at him, the rest of the squad gathered around him.

"We got the good-go for embarkation, and we got the old girl back!" Paul was literally hopping.

Talon pushed himself off the inactive command console. He stared at his squad, and his squad stared back.

"Well..." Talon dragged the word. "... what are you waiting for?"

The squad looked at each other for a second, and scrambled for the door. Talon chuckled as he followed behind the squad.

The Avian Armoured was already being loaded onto the dropships when they arrived. Avian technicians saluted as the colonel approached, whilst the squad squabbled over who got to man the main gun.

"She's all ready, sir!" The first technician smiled, waving towards the Leman Russ Vanquisher. He marched his way up to the tank, making sure to make his last step delibrately loud, so his squad stopped shouting and turned towards him.

"Alright, Paul's got the driver, ("Aw!" Paul sighed, and began to climb into the tank) Burns and Hills, Sponsons, ('Bettah than nuthin'", Hills shrugged), Hartmann and Orion, main gun ("Whoop!"). Move out!"

Talon returned the salute of his technicians, and got into Fury of Avia. He adjusted his collar, pulled up his hood and brandished a sword, signalling the advance...

========================================

The tank shuddered as the lander hit the ground. Talon blinked from his position on the cupola, as the doors opened to reveal the landscape of Distilleri. The sword flashed again.

"Men of Avia! ADVANCE!"

Talon coughed slightly as the engines of several dozen Leman Russes sputtered to life. He ducked back into the tank, and grabbed the vox unit from Hartmann. "Major Arah, Captain Underhand, you got your orders... move out."

========================================

Landed. Ordered the division to advance.

(OCC) close combat with a kroot sharper :o (OCC)  Schwatze gets up not willing to die he has too much to live for.  He takes off his helmet revealing his short army regulation blond hair.  He pules out his knife and a stili grenade.  Schwatze practices hand to hand often enough in his training he know what he is doing but so do the kroot!  "You throw amphetamine parrot at me well here lets play catch!"  Schwatze sprints at the sharper throwing his helmet at it to hope fully distract the creature. He yells angrily on the charge "Hail der Kaiser"(hail the emperor!).  After the helmet flies off he runs to the kroot with his knife and sets his grenade to explode in 2 seconds after the fly off lever is released.  He attempts to stick the grenade between the amour the sharper is wearing and then run!  Before he plants his grenade he tries to distract the kritter with a long right hand knife to the sharpers side.

Curses and recovers
Throws hemet at kroot to distract and charges
Knifes and sticks grenade in amour?
Hopes he does not die

You're trying to charge up a tree? Okay.....

Shaper makes a soft hissing sound and kicks you in the head while you try to climb. The grenade goes spinning off into the brush to softly detonate amongst the ground fall. The Shaper waves at one of the nearby Kindred and then leaps from branch to branch towards the Hermes' impact zone. You think one or two of the Kroot are still somewhere nearby but are certain the majority have departed.

The Levithan rolled out off to the the more secure side of the LZ, there with all weapons online several dish and antennas began to rise up from the main command tower as the tanks other function as a mobile field HQ came online. The CAG had joined the crew and began to work with the ships above in ordering flights around the battlefields. The LZ was secured and the Fortress Maximus was its guardian sentinel for now. The lascannons and heavy bolters on the tank began to fire in support of the troops setting up the defensive perimeter of the LZ.
