Castiel Mission Log 1

---Watch Captain Servais

Entering Kill Team Epsilon's Mission Log

Kill Team Epsilon were called into the strategium of Watch Fortress Erioch where i briefed them.
Our watch station on the planet of Castiel had failed to report in. The watch station is located in the hills near the city of Casus. Manned by a single vigilant Brother, Alus of the Novamarines. The watch Station was a bunker with automated defences. The teams task was to assess the situation and secure the watch station.

After a journey on the Ctrike Cruiser 'Spear Of Fury' and then a descent via Thunderhawk down to the planet Castiel, Squad Magron Disembarked on the plains lying between the hills and the city. Wasting no time the Kill Team ascend through the hills, soon coming upon the one approach to the Watch Station. Blood pools and tyre tracks mark the ground. Shell cases and power packs left where they fell in the dirt. But no bodies were located.

The Watch Station had come under heavy fire its surfaces blemished with impact craters, it's door wrenched inwards and the automated turrets dry or destroyed. Inside more blood, more spent rounds and a groove marking the floor where something heavy had been dragged out. Brother Alus is nowhere to be seen. Consoles flicker a door sealed towards the rear of the bunker.

Squad Magron disperses and takes up positions around the bunker. Battle Brother Mortis immediately walks over to the electronic key pad and attempts to open the door. Failing to open the door, Mortis acts out in uncharacteristic frustration and uses his servo arm to begin pounding at the surrounding wall deciding to smash his way into the room beyond, rather than continue to try the keypad. After a few minites of taking down the wall the room is in fact Brother Alus' personal quarters, and contains no further information.

The consoles inside the station reveal little, so the Kill Team decide to investigate the nearby city. As they exit the Station a group of men round the far corner. Brother Magron shouts to them, asking them to hold and what their intent was. The men heedless of the threat they faced charged the squad.

Las rounds splashed harmlessly off the armour of the Kill Team, and in return each cut down swathes of guardsmen with bolter and chainsword. The combat was short lived, Brother Ansum the only one at risk as he chose not to don his helm. When the men dwindled in number they began to flee, several brothers making a bid to grab one of the men for questioning, others using their pistols to finish off the last few men.

Brother Magron and Zahariel begin to interrogate the lone survivor. Question leads no where as Magron breaks bones and Zahariel intermitently relives pain to keep him concious. After interrogation leads nowhere Brother Claton skim reads his mind learning little of value.

With little information the team headed to Casus City, hoping to find the source of hostilities and ultimately Brother Alus.---
