Warhammer 40,000: Phoenix

Iyana looker to her own soldier as the Tau halted and began talking among them selves. “Do you think we can trust these aliens?” one of her seers said as he approached her from behind. Speaking in the Eldar language she responded not taking her every watchful eye off of Lor. “They have not proven themselves to us other wise…if we can use them to defeat the imperials, all the better, we just need them to trust us.” she responded. The Seer nodded. “Our forces are in position to aid theirs…they are buying some of our people a little time to escape the avatar’s valley, shall we wait till the Tau force is destroyed and finish off the imperials?”

Iyana thought about it for a moment, her mind processing faster then any human or Tau’s. “Order the attack, strike swiftly from behind, and take some of the pressure off of our new…allies.” She said as Lor looked towards her. The elder were smaller in number then the Tau. But the imperial force in question would be fighting two advanced alien species, along with being surprised again; Iyana intended to have them driven into the Tau’s weapons. “Take no prisoners.”

“Yes my lady.”

With in seconds Lor would be hearing cheers from his comrades in the valley of the avatar. A quarter of her forces had been hiding in the valley. They had encircled the imperium’s forces and were simply waiting for the order. Warp spiders would jump in and begin taking out tanks, and then jump out. Her high amount of rangers would begin picking off Imperial officers, with prism tanks pounding the Imperial guard’s static lines.

She nodded in agreement with Lor on the idea to keep moving, and remained silent waiting to see his reaction to the aid she had decided to give his forces. She suspected this act would get her in good with the Tau leaders, and the help this world needed. She was craft world Eldar, but she and her troops were all that could be spared to defend this Exodite world.

Landis nodded in the Captain's direction, a small smile playing on his lips. 'I am sure the Imperials forced the Tau to pay dearly for their surprise attack, I don't need an Tau alive so much as I need to know if their bodies were collected along with any weapons and armour they used in battle, I'd very much like to see what exactly it is we are up against.'

Adonis stepped forward, 'I am brother-sergeant Adonis formerly of the White Panthers, a second founding chapter of the Ultramarines, it is my great honour to meet you son of Guilliman. Surely you and your troops here bring pride and honour to the great Primarch. Brother Silas is it? May I see the Eldar captive, I would very much like to ask it a few questions.'

Icarus and Eneas both turned and headed for the Tunderhawk, grabbing the teams gear so that they would be able to put it in the rooms being made available to them. Lyros and Dymas stuck by their Captain, watching the crowd for signs of trouble. Their heavy weapons had been packed away when they had made the short trip to the surface, but each held a bolter, and each had been master trained with the basic rifle of the space marine chapters. Nothing would get by these two warriors and Captain Metellus had no worries while his men were at his back.

Aulus turned to Captain Mathiew, 'perhaps you would be able to show me the out lying defenses, troop numbers, enemy positions. Things like that, before I am able to determine the best way to combat these Xenos scum I must know what we have to work with and what we might be up against.'
