Space Hulk Story

The Unknown

The year is m64, and the Space Marine Chapter known as the Raptors prepare to investigate a newly found Space Hulk, which had just emerged from the Warp, this Space Hulk was rather small in comparison to others that had emerged before it, but the invaluable information upon the hulk was far to much for the Raptors to pass up even though their numbers were slim due to a confrontation with the Eldar, in which most of there forces were were dedicated to. There was a single Terminator with a few young recruits available to investigate this Hulk. The away party was 5 men strong, led by veteran Maximus Noir fitted in his Terminator Armor, with a Storm Blaster, and a Chainfist along side him were an Assault Marine Markus Morningstar, Nethanial Lost, and Sires Greyscale. The Three Assault Marines were decked out in almost identical armaments, Chainswords for up close and personal combat, and Stalker Boltguns with a single mag of Hellfire Rounds each. The Fifth and final member of the party was a Devastator by the name of Rackchild he was a bit unhinged but was an increadibly accurate shot even with Heavy weapons, his armament was similar to all Devastators packing a Storm Bolter with an Ammo pack.

“Listen up you all have been selected to aid me in the sweep and extraction of valuable information that this abomination of a vessel may have” the Terminator said as he paced back and forth in front of his new team. “I am under the impression that none of you have much experience when it comes to Space Hulks, Tyranids, or Genestealers, and with that being the case, you are to obey my command at all times, you are to do what I say when I say it, if you follow these simple rules there is a chance you might make it out alive” Noir finished before placing his helmet on his head as he stepped onto the awaiting vessel to head towards the Space Hulk. Commander Noir knew that Space Hulks were unstable and the amount of time they had to traverse space and arrive at the Space Hulk as well as board it and search it for any Xeno life and valuable information was narrow, there was no telling how long this Space Hulk would stay here, before simply falling back into the Warp with no warning.

If that wasnt bad enough, it was a high probability that this ship could be infested with Genestealers, he knew that he was the only one that had any experience with these vicious Tyranids, that could infect anyone with their parasitic seed and spread across this expansion of space, and even worse then that if the Space Hulk does have a Genestealer Cult upon it, it could draw in a Tyranids Hive Fleet at any moment, which would be devastating. The only thing that the Space Marines have to their advantage is the fact that this Space Hulk emerged from the Warp in a location that is pretty desolate and void of life which should buy them some time to intercept the Hulk and eradicate any Xenos aboard it before they have a chance to send a message to a Hive Fleet, however the Space Hulk is drifting towards a highly populated Planet in the sector, however if the Emperor wields it that if the Scorpions fail to eradicate the Xenos threat aboard this abomination that the Warp would reclaim it before it got to close.

The space ship known as the Crawling Death which had the Raptors Space Marines began there approach on the dilapidated Space Hulk. The Five Space Marines readied themselves as their ship continued its approach and lined itself up for the Raptors to board the vessel known as a Space Hulk, many things began running through the minds of the three Assault Marines from encountering the dreaded Genestealers to possibly encountering something they had never faced before to even the chance that the Space Hulk would return to the Warp with them still inside, but for the leader of the group the Terminator Maximus Noir there was only one thing going through his mind completion of the mission at all cost.

The Crawling Death began to slow down as he made its approach to the side of the Space Hulk, boarding this particular hulk with this party was going to be a bit more difficult due to the fact that only one of the members the Terminator had ever used a Teleport Homer before but the hope was that the effects of the teleportation would not last long for the other four members of the team. “Remember eyes peeled there is no telling what we might face inside this monstrosity, also our primary objective is to see if there is any valuable information we can extract and bring back to our chapter, our secondary objective will be to terminate any Xenos we encounter” the Terminator said just before the entire group de-meterialized, re-materializing inside the massive Space Hulk.

The hall in which the party materialized into was very dark with only the red auxiliary lights being the only source of lights inside, which caused Captain Noir to quickly switch on his helmets spot light. The Captian motioned for the group to begin moving forward, the warped interior of the Space Hulk was unlike anything the young team had ever seen before, creaking and the sounds of shuffling could be heard through out which could have put any normal man on edge but these soldiers were anything but normal they were Space Marines and were quickly able to squash any nerves or fears that began to bubble up……….to be Contnued.
