+We are here to extract the water and valuable materials such as the crystals.+ TalOS declared as he sat upon the Command Throne, +We are here to make a display of carnage and pillaging.+
+Understood Arch Dominus.+ One of the Adepts responded as the signal was quickly shared across the fleet.
TalOS watched as a series of locations were both marked and distributed across the planet. Coordinates of a barely known planet were distributed across the systems and sent to the drop teams that were at their stations.
+Arch Dominus, Bombardment and Landing solution has been distributed.+ Announced a Magos, +Upon your review and authorization we shall begin the landing of the strike teams.+
TalOS studied the equations and thoughts that were placed into creating the system. It was a simple bombard than land scheme where any threat at the LZ would be destroyed. The time between the bombardment and the landings would be fifteen seconds, which was within an acceptable range to TalOS.
+Permission given, began the bombardment.+
+Bombarding…+
The vision that TalOS had upon the unnamed planet began to light up with several streams of orange light. These streams of light continued their way down into the earth and slammed themselves into the ground with an explosion unlike anything the Xenos had likely seen.
If TalOS remembered correctly the rounds that were being employed were the Radium rounds. Radium rounds were something that baseline humans were likely to use but for the Mechanicum it made perfect sense. Tech Priests, thanks to their shielding and bionics, were virtually indestructible against the radiation that such bombardments caused. Acillians, thanks to the genetic template TalOS provided them, were immune to it by virtue of their makeup.
Skitarii were the only group to suffer and they suffered in grace of the Machine God. None of them would complain and many enjoyed in the sheer destruction caused.
As TalOS watched blooms of green smoke rain he watched the next bombardment, followed up with what he quickly identified as the drop pods. He gave the sign of the cog as he began preparing their escape from the system.
