Numerous hits were accounted for as the Skitarii set their Carbines to full automatic operation. As they fired the Skitarii registered the numerous bodies of Orks falling out of the gun through the breach port onto the grounds in front of them. These creatures that had been killed by the radium fire had their skin burnt and cindered by what was to them an invisible fire.
The Orks were not easily put off and the moment they realized their over was blown began throwing themselves out of the gun with speed that betrayed their oddly built bodies. Quickly one of the Orks ran over to the nearest Skitarii and severed his head from his neck with a brutal swing of a combat knife.
As the Orks filled through XKY felt his entire body overrode as numerous pieces of information began to flood him. He felt his mind began to flutter between himself and his lessers as they all fed information into one another about potential weak points in the enemy’s person. XKY quickly began scoring scorching after scorching shot against his enemies while also helping his fellows do the same.
There was a problem with this Doctorina as the Skitarii under his command began to fall like flies. The Orks, being their brutish selves. Devoted himself completely to the full sale slaughter of anyone who was within melee. XKY knew from the Wargames that these Skitarii were currently having their bodies ripped because they simply could not think about melee. A few were able enough to score some form of hit but most were cut down to a man.
Around seven of the original twenty skitarii were killed as the funnel of Orks stopped, likely because the gun was currently clogged up with their corpses.
He sent a notification to the reigning Dominus who looked into the situation. The Skitarii waited before the Dominus gave him free reign over the situation. Such occurrences was not the norm but when it came down to it the Dominus was likely busy on his own thing.
The Skitarii took a moment to look around and also scan the area. The serfs who were serving the gun were terrified but stayed behind the Skitarii in some vain hope of surviving through their sacrifice. He did not mind it as they were simply uninitiated in the ways of the Mechanicum.
Scans gave him the ability to recognize that ultimately it was just them who had their gun clogged by Orks. This installation had a few other guns, all of which were currently under attack by whatever form of Orks and other Xenos there were.
They could help clear out those insurgencies, try and get these humans to ultimate safety, or maybe they should see if they can make this gun operational again.
