Space Hulk Story
Chapter 2
Pushing on
The group of Space Marines continued down the poorly lit corridor until they came upon the first large metal door which was closed, the Commander did not hesitate as he brought up his Chainfist without even checking to see if the door still worked, he drove his Chainfist into the hinges of the large door, sparks began to fly everywhere. As the Chainfist continued to eat through the metal the Devestator spun around with his gun at the ready as if he heard something coming. The Commanders Chainfist made short work of the door as it quickly fell to the floor echoing loudly through out the Space Hulk, “Well if they didnt know we were coming they do now,” the Commander chuckled “no need to be quiet now” he finished. He motioned for the rest of the party to follow him as he pushed forward into the next corridor, it too was poorly light, and at first glance appeared to go on for a while in a straight line. The Squad of Space Marines pushed forward until they came to an open door off to the right the Terminator peered in before motioning to the rest of them to follow him inside. “Rackchild keep watch” Noir said before the Devistator had a chance to enter the room, “Got it boss no backdoor entry” Rackchild replied.
The room was full of computers and monitors but none were on and it appeared that they did not have power running to them, Commander Noir approached the largest of the console and began pressing buttons but was met with no response from the computer, after a few more moments?” he asked. After a brief moment of silence Markus stepped forward, “I know a few things Commander,” he replied, “Very well see if you can get this piece of junk running,” the Commander replied as he began to walk towards the door, “Lost you stay here with Morningstar, Grayscale your with me and Rackchild we are going to push deeper.” he finished. The Assault Marine followed his Commander out of the room and quickly they dissapeared down the hall with the Devistaor in tow. “Well looks like its just us and what ever abominations might jump out of the shadows” Morningstar said as he sat down to the large console in front of him. Lost propped himself up on the far wall near the door, “You scared Morning?” he asked “Why would I be I mean the man with the most experience and the most powerful weapons just left us to fend for ourselves,” he replied. “Suck it up we are Space Marines this is our job.” Lost snapped at him.
Farther down the corridor the Commander, the Assault Marine Grayscale and the Devistator Rackchild came to another large bulkhead this time it ventured to the left but the door was stuck half way open, “Looks like its time to make some more noise” the Commander Noir chuckled as he put his Chainfist against the door to cut a larger space for them to move through but before he had a chance to even touch the door he noticed movement on the other side a bit farther down the hall, “Eyes up, looks like we are fixing to have our first contact I see at least three humanoid figures down the hall but they are not moving towards us as of yet,” the Terminator said bringing his Chainfist back a bit, but keeping it running.
