“Father, we will clear the landing zone if you so desire.” Declared the Astartes in more of a beast wanting off the leash than a trained computer wanting to kill.
“Given.” TalOS told his son before they started jumping off.
TalOS noticed that as they jumped a few of them took sidelong glances at the Volkite Blaster that was being wielded by the Acillian. A simple desire for an armament that surely would bring destruction to the forefront.
There was a moment of gunfire and destruction before TalOS was given an order that the place was clear. Wordlessly the Acillians ran forward and jumped off before TalOS too stepped forward and made the descent into the canyon below.
At the bottom TalOS heard the numerous depressions of hydraulics as Acillian internal and external augmentations allowed the Astartes to arrive on the ground without care. TalOS himself took the blast without error as his muscles were far too developed for something as simple as a modest fall.
Within seconds TalOS began sending out orders as his Machine Spirits and personal eyes began staring at the numerous locations that would lead to discoveries that escaped the Astartes torching.
TalOS sent a burst towards Vadar that while only half a second’s thought became in this vox system, “Three spots at 60 degrees. Break off the rock at 280 degrees and torch the Orkoid fungus that is hiding behind it.”
Even before they started moving TalOS turned and broadcasted a series of commands to the Acillians. These commands could hardly be described as words but impression and mechanical activation as within their eyes dozens of spots lit up with objectives generated by the Machine Spirits inference of the strategy.
The already extreme heat in the area was increased several fold as both flamers and volkite began blanketing the valley with burning flesh. TalOS noted that the Astartes acted just as the Acillians did in holding position, but a few including Vadar kept this hands close to their melee weapons at their sides. A necessary fact of battle was the idea TalOS was slowly learning.
>Simple orderly extermination is fine.
>Try and cause a stampede of Orkoids to test out and compare Acillians to Astartes
>Mess and fuze formations to see what can be created, with steady bursts of engagement.
