After entering this cabin, the two mechanical priests immediately entered working mode.
Dietrian was the first to walk to the operating table. Eight dead servitors were scattered on the table and turned into the shape of skeletons and bionic bodies.
Then Loken also stood at the console, his fingers making a clicking sound on the control panel.
"Plasma exhaustion."
Dietrian's voice came from his mask.
"Plasma has been lost for hundreds of years, yes, yes."
“Can it be restored?”
Soshiyan—a voice asking somewhere between narrative and whisper.
Dietrian's metal claws tapped the keyboard and joystick, and then shook his head.
"I can't, most of the ship is inanimate, but it can send a small amount of power from one part to another, yes, but it can't restore all power to all areas."
Soshyan was not very disappointed with this.
"Then do it."
"As commanded."
As Dietrian spoke, he began to divert the little remaining power in the ship's pipes, forcing it into the area designated by Soshyan - mainly the bridge densely covered with gates, where he hoped to find something valuable.
As long as part of it can be recovered, they can evacuate the hulk and then completely destroy it with light spears from a long distance.
Such a plan would have the least casualties and the greatest rewards.
Thinking of this, Soshyan suddenly remembered another thing.
"What kind of ship is this?"
Faced with this question, Dietrian turned his visor toward the ceiling seeking direction or verification from any loyalists.
but
The answer came from another person.
Less than ten seconds after Soshyan raised this question, Mark discovered a corpse. It was wearing light blue armor and lying on an elevated platform above the floor of the mechanical equipment. It was torn into pieces by the alien's claws. The breastplate was
There is a Hydra crest on it clearly showing his identity.
"Legion 20, Alpha."
Soshyan hissed the cursed name and recoiled in disgust.
At this time, Loken
I also found some useful information from the little data left.
"This is a cruiser of unknown type, named Stone Heart, from the 20th Legion. The last sailing date was...the 33rd millennium!"
If we want to talk about the most mysterious power of the Astartes in existence, then there is no doubt that the twenty legions that were finally formed were shrouded in mystery from the beginning.
There are many special characteristics of its legion, and the most famous rumor is that the Alpha Legion has two primarchs, the twin primarchs.
In addition, since the Great Crusade, almost all records of the Legion have disappeared from Imperial archives, and even during the time when they were still fighting for the Emperor, there are few records of them.
The few eyewitness reports claimed that, although these warriors were Space Marines, they did not have heraldry and sometimes even fought under the crest of another Legion.
The actions they took were almost unanimous, including assassinations, espionage, secret sabotage and incitement, and even kidnapping important enemy figures.
This is almost incomprehensible to the Astartes who value glory more than life. Therefore, the Alpha Legion also has a very bad reputation among friendly forces. Some people believe that it is due to the conflict with other Legions' ideas that led to the Alpha Legion's collapse.
After the Horus Heresy, he fell to the rebel side.
But some people think that this reason is too simple and cannot truly describe the true source of the mysterious legion's rebellion under the fog.
In any case, this mysterious legion eventually became the enemy of the Emperor. During the war, the two primarchs were killed by Guilliman, the primarch of the Ultramarines, and Dorn, the primarch of the Imperial Fists. The legion was also torn into pieces and became countless fragments.
's warband.
But seeing the Alpha Legion soldiers here, even dead ones, surprised Soshyan.
And the information Loken obtained didn't stop there.
"...Wait a minute, there is another report here. The damage is a bit serious. I, Kangkang... am a dimensional blacksmith? What is that? No matter, a dimensional blacksmith seems to have stored something in the data room."
Hearing the word Warp Blacksmith, Soshyan was moved in his heart. Sevatar once gave him some common knowledge about Chaos Space Marines, so he knew that this was the name of some heretical technical sergeants.
So he immediately judged that it might be the most valuable thing on the ship.
"Dietrian, adjust the power supply, change the target, let's go to the data room."
The order was given and executed very quickly. Dietrian quickly used the remaining power to activate the hatch to the data room, reducing the time they had to break through the door and take a detour.
Before leaving the power room, Soshyan checked the time——
00.14.36
Not too long had passed since they landed on the hulk.
When they stepped into the dark passage again, the thick darkness shrouded the decaying bulkhead like a demonstration.
The crunch of twisted metal echoed with the hiss of an old exhaust and the sound of certain footsteps.
Soon, harsh sounds broke the darkness and silence that lasted for hundreds of years: the footsteps made by heavy metal boots and the star-like bright light emitted by the power armor.
The huge figures walked through the abandoned space hulk with clear purpose. They were giants. They were nearly three meters tall when wearing armor. Each set of armor was a precious handicraft. These powered armors were the heaviest individual equipment in the empire.
, composed of several layers of titanium and ceramic steel, can withstand the most vicious attacks.
Whether it is the cold vacuum of space or the boiling depths of a volcano, the Terminators are always the deadliest warriors of the Adeptus Astartes, and they come to win.
"Report every five minutes."
Due to the narrow passage, the two teams could only move along two adjacent passages. Although they were only a few meters apart, they were still divided.
Because of this, small talk among the team completely disappeared after the operation started.
Everyone focuses on the task.
Everyone has received the mission information: after heading to the data room to recover some valuable items, they will quickly evacuate and then destroy the hulk.
If the enemy is able to board the lifeboat and escape the space hulk, the alien infection will spread to other ships and distant worlds, which is not allowed to happen.
Guided by the dazzling light from their armor, the Space Marines approached the winding passage in single file.
Tactical fearless armor filled the narrow corridor, and the huge shoulder armor occasionally scratched the metal wall. The silver-gray armor flashed under the light, declaring fearlessness and determination.
And in the center of the team are the two most vulnerable mortal bodies.
The Terminator strode forward, surrounded by the roar of power servos and the gasp of fiber bundles.
At the front of the queue, Soshyan's helmet-mounted display showed that the maze of corridors ahead was abandoned.
He adjusted the viewing distance to three hundred meters away, and a green stain suddenly appeared at the extreme distance of the shimmering automatic sensor image.
He held his breath and waited for a few seconds, but the image did not move at all.
The enemy remains stationary.
"Prepare to attack."
He said while pressing the activation button of the power sword.
