>>6016255> Pretty unanimous decisionK-3331 stood up and wiped his brow, his whole face was sweaty underneath the mask and the battle with the monster certainly didn't help with his breathing.
He pulled out his short range vox-caster.
<span class="mu-i"> "Squad 1045 to Iron Hammer. Squad 1045 to Iron Hammer. Do you read?"
"Iron Hammer hears all. Go ahead."
"Mission update: bunker - Designation Delta-4 - has been secured despite heavy resistance. Unknown Krieger looks to have taken the pillbox solo. Encountered unknown xenos who killed two of mine and left two injured. Over." </span>
The vox-caster was silent for a moment or two before crackling back to life.
<span class="mu-i"> "Copy. The Emperor Protects. Unknown xenos also encountered at Alpha-1 bunker and Brave-6 bunker. Can you continue? Status of your injured squad?"
"Alive but unlikely to be able to continue at this stage. I'm sending them with the medic to the reserve front for medical attention."
"Copy. Stand by for further instructions." </span>
K-3331 checked his gear whilst waiting. One lasgun, battery pack nearly depleted, one voxcaster, one entrenching tool, flak jacket intact, one worn dataslate and one frag grenade. He'd have to resupply soon enough if he was going to continue the fight.
<span class="mu-i"> Squad 1045 Stand by for instructions from Overlord." </span> the vox crackled. Another moment rolled on. K-3331 had never actually heard Major General Orsar speak before, he was slightly nervous. <span class="mu-i"> Squad 1045. Overlord speaking. I need you and your squad to get to get to co-ordinates Mike 75 Tango 23. </span>
K-3331 dataslate buzzed to life, receiving the new orders and downloading them, projecting them via hologram. From what K-3331 could read it wasn't far from his current location. Pinching and controlling the map, K-3331 could see small white dots that signified other Krieg unit corporals dataslates moving towards M75T23.
