Chapter 6- Dark Retribution

Several days had passed since the Dark Eldar assault on Nan Yanoi had been routed, the Tau once more declaring their claim over all other contenders vying for control of the Kaurava system that the Tau alone held the true claim to the territory as a full sphere to their ever growing empire.
Shas’El Karr had utilized the short moments of peace leading elite squads of Tau Pathfinders and Kroot Carnivores she scoured the surface of Nan Yanoi in search of any lingering remnants of the Dark Eldar incursion, snuffing out any lingering stain of the taint before the infection could spread further.

Karr entered the Cadre Warroom in the heart of Nan Yanoi eager to deliver her latest report to Shas’O Or’es’Ka. “Shas’O” Karr approached the commander dressed in her Fire Warrior armour, freshly bloodied from the latest hunt. “I have returned from securing sectors Delta-Two-Four through Gamma-Five-Seven, no Dark Eldar presence detected on Nan Yanoi”
Or’es’Ka glanced up from the holo-display before him. “Excellent work Shas’El. It appears as though you were correct regarding the Dark Eldar threat” Or’es’Ka indicated the display. “The raid on Nan Yanoi emerged only to be part of the Dark Eldar’s assault. While the majority of our forces were recalled to defend Nan Yanoi we received reports of simultaneous Dark Eldar attacks against our perimeter outposts on Kaurava IV and even some territories on Kaurava II. Once news of our victory at Nan Yanoi reached our outposts the Dark Eldar raiders quickly retreated and our positions across Kaurava were maintained” a silent smile grew across the elite commanders’ alien lips at the thought, but the gesture quickly faded. “The Dark Eldar have fled Kaurava IV, however our Pathfinders have identified alien structures established across the surface of the orbiting moon of Lacunae” the view drew closer to represent solely the desolate moon of Lacunae nestled directly on the cusp of the Warpstorm lingering on the edge of the system. On the surface the moon appeared devoid of any strategic, economic or cultural significance and its proximity to the Warpstorm currently blooming on the edge of the system made it an even more unlikely base of operations for any faction, even those dedicated to the sins of the warp.
“We must attack the heart of the Dark Eldar in order to force them from Kaurava for good. What intelligence can you provide position of the Dark Eldar encampment?”
Karr stepped forward into the dim light of the projector. “The terrain of Lacunae is a tangled maze of deep canyons and steep overhanging cliffs leaving little open space for base construction or mass troop deployment” Karr stepped to the side, circling around the display. “The Dark Eldar have built their main base atop the highest peak on the dark side of the moon surrounded on all sides by a sea of torture chambers and expansion bases. Their sentries maintain a keen watch; any attempt to assault their position will be quickly sighted and immediately routed. This attack shall require the use of the element of surprise”
Or’es’Ka’s expression clearly darkened. “Not an easy task to surprise a race who thrives on battle and whose very nature is conditioned towards striking from the darkness just as their enemy is at their most vulnerable”
“I was their prisoner” Karr turned to face her commander. “I shall lead an elite team onto the surface of Lacunae; our small size will allow us to manoeuvre beneath the gaze of the Dark Eldar homunculus. The entire wasteland surrounding their Dark Citadel is a nest of cages filled with prisoners who would only require a call and a weapon to rally against their cruel masters. I believe that with the element of surprise and the support of the prisoners we could launch an attack to destabilize the Dark Eldar Hierarchy from within and open the way for our main assault force”
“Very well Shas’El, go forward” Or’es’Ka clasped his gauntleted chest over his chest. “For the Greater Good”
With the plans laid Karr sharply saluted and turned to leave the war room. Karr dreaded the return to Lacunae with all of her being but she knew in her heart that it was a necessary sacrifice that she be the one to lead the attack. It still pained her that she had been unable to save any other Tau prisoners during her escape, but she would see their sacrifice avenged. When she held the Dark Eldar by their throat she would offer them the same mercy they had shown their captives.

*********************************
The elegant Raider craft seemed to glide over the corrupted and Warp scorched wasteland he and his kin had claimed as their own within this backwater system. Lingering on the edge of the deadly Warpstorm continuing to blossom on the cusp of the system the moon of Lacunae remained concealed both from their enemies feeble attempts to track their location as well as any fantasies they may humour of pursuing them. The Dark Eldar raiding craft descended to a halt at the perimeter of the outpost, allowing Archon Tahril to leap from the deck of the craft onto the surface of the corrupted landscape.
“Lord Tahril” the Homunculus Grumeneal approached his leader with a respectful bow. “You have returned to us”
“Yes, we are fresh from the fray of battle” Tahril walked towards the centre outpost pocketed with Slave Chambers and training grounds. “Pain and despair ran thick as rivers as the cries of the fallen applauded our efforts”
“I did not expect you to return so swiftly Archon” the Homunculus followed in the Archons step. “I can only hope this means that the prey fell to your blade faster than we had imagined”
Tahril sighed “Alas, in this instance it was we who returned the vanquished”
A smile grew on the Homunculus’s lips. “Lord Vect shall not be pleased to hear of your, failure” the dark artist of the medium of torture ensured to choose his final words with care.
“Where you see failure, I see opportunity. While their fortress still stands it is only by the barest of threads. Many of their soldiers fell to our attacks, they lost many of their forces to us and many of those who remained were taken for our Slave Chambers and your Torture Grounds” Tahril savoured the prospect. “The Tau is a wounded beast with its throat laid bare, ready for the kill. These fools who plague the system know nothing of elegance or strategy, if they see a wall they attack it, if they see an army they charge at it. Once the other leaders learn of their enemies’ weakness they will be unable to resist the delectable morsel and shall tear eachother apart in pursuit of it. Once the victor has laid down their arms and raised their glasses in triumph we shall descend and snatch victory from beneath their feet”
“Do not forget Archon” the Homunculus raised his bladed claws from his side. “A wounded beast still has claws with which to lash out when your back is turned”
“I do not intend to leave myself exposed to anyone, Homunculus” Archon Tahril seemed secure in his words. “And it is of no matter we keep a keen watch. If an army approached surely we would see it and then we would tear it to pieces”

*********************************
The engines of the Tau Orca transport hummed as the craft descended towards the corrupted surface of Lacunae. Karr and her team knew the hazards of their operation, this deep into enemy territory the Tau forces could not expect any reinforcements or other outside support until they secured a landing zone for the primary Tau assault force. The Orcas landing gears touched down into the soft dirt beneath it, the loading ramp lowering into the ground as the engines gently whirred to idle. Karr stepped down onto the surface of the desolate moon, her Pulse Rifle held tightly in her arms, the advanced array of sensors in her helmet scanned the terrain surrounding them for lingering threats. The area appeared clear; Karr gave her soldiers the order to advance deeper into the wasteland.
The Tau soldiers advanced through the desolate wilderness, coming to a stop at the lip of a cliff the Fire Warriors lay prone at the cusp of the cliff edge. At the base of the drop lay a clear example of the sinister depravity of the Dark Eldar, a demonic Slave Cage filled with prisoners and captives held for the twisted pleasure of their captors. Only two guards stood watch in front of the cage, it seemed their masters did not fear an attack so close to their dark citadel, their arrogance would prove their undoing.
Karr brought the optic of her Pulse Rifle to her eye, lining up her shot she squeezed the trigger. The plasma bolt struck the first guard in the centre of the helmet, his lifeless corpse falling without a sound. The second guard, upon seeing his comrade collapsing to the ground, frantically began scanning around him for the shooter. He too fell wordlessly to the ground with Karrs second shot. “Areas clear”
Karr and her team, satisfied that all of the targets had been eliminated, rose to their feet and moved down towards the cage. Karr knelt down over the base of the support column, placing a layer of explosives to the support. Karr and her team retreated behind cover as the charges detonated, fracturing the crude support and dissipating the dark field it maintained. The field finally drifted out of existence, allowing the prisoners to reconnect with the outside universe.
The cage was filled with a dozen Tau prisoners in various states of health, those who could fight were given weapons and armour, and those that could not were given a swift and noble death. As Karr finished checking the bodies of the Dark Eldar Warriors she was approached by one of the prisoners.
“Shas’El” the Fire Warrior, despite his weariness, saluted his superior officer with surprising gusto. “It is good to see you here. I was captured in a raid a few days ago. I and the other members of my squad were prepared to be executed but we were spared when a messenger arrived saying that their leader wished to keep us for tests. I think they wanted to prolong our suffering for that much longer” a sense of pride swelled deeply within her, she knew now that she had taken a leap of faith and the Greater Good had provided.
“We need to establish a base within the wasteland” Karr pondered her tactical options.
“Before I was imprisoned I managed to memorize some of the layout of the base. There are two main guard posts between here and the main Citadel, they are far too strong to overcome with the meagre forces we have now”
Karr knew that they still lacked one vital step. “Have you seen any captured members of the Earth Caste? We will need their expertise to construct a forward base”
“A group of Earth Caste Engineers were captured during the same raid as I. I believe the Dark Eldar took them deeper into their encampment...” the Fire Warrior pointed towards the black mountain peak which rose high over the tortured wasteland. “Further towards the Citadel. The Dark Eldar seemed almost excited as they took them, perhaps they believed it would be enjoyable to torture some more intelligent minds” Karr could see the soldiers features darken, his voice dropping with every strained word. “They are not warriors, Shas’El. It is doubtful that they would have survived this long-”
“Well” a piercing voice shattered their conversation, drawing the attention of every Tau soldier towards the cliff edge which overhung the cage. Atop the tall cliff stood a Dark Eldar Scourge squad, their metal wings glinting in the red light and their weapons ready to deliver a swift and painful death to their enemies. “Well, look what escaped from its cage. Now it shall die!”

*********************************
Navigating the dense network of canyons and passages honeycombing the surface of Lacunae the Tau Force had encountered little resistance beyond a small patrol which was swiftly ambushed with little resistance. As the Strike Team drew closer to the central Dark Eldar encampment the concentration of Slave Cages, as well as the number of Warriors guarding them, continued to grow. But with the growing resistance so did their strength continue to rise.
The rag tag army of Tau forces now stood at the base of the mountain upon which the main Dark Eldar Citadel was based. Before them lay the largest formation of cages they had encountered thus far, a monstrous monument to the Dark Eldars cruelty secured by the largest force of Dark Eldar soldiers they had yet to encounter. Despite the looming threat the resolve of the Tau did not falter in their presence. The soldiers charged out from cover, the rag tag army that had been assembled from all the Tau prisoners who had long been repressed by the Dark Eldar.
The Tau Force drew first blood, the first cluster of guards falling dead before they knew what was upon them. The element of surprise now dispersed the Dark Eldar began their counterattack, the shredder ammunition of their Splinter Rifles tearing through armour and flesh indiscriminately. But despite the losses the Tau continued to press their advantage, outnumbering the Dark Eldar in a ratio of three to one, with morale high at the prospect of finally being able to turn the tide against their cruel oppressors many soldiers continued to fight despite injuries which would otherwise cripple others.
Then came the Warp Beasts, out of the surrounding darkness glowed the piercing blue eyes and scaly red skin of the Dark Eldars prized beasts of war. The demonic creatures, guided by their Beast Tamers, charged towards the Tau line with their bladed claws digging into corrupted landscape as they leapt towards their prey. Under any other circumstance the beasts would tear through the advancing Tau with ease, but with the burning desire for freedom in their hearts the Tau rallied behind their commander in the face of their adversaries. Utilizing whatever weapons they had, rifles, sharpened rocks, wreckage, even their own two hands, they clashed with the feral warp spawn. In close quarters the Fire Warriors encountered fierce resistance, the beasts’ sharpened claws and powerful jaws proving to be deadly weapons. But animal instinct could only draw them so far, blind determination and courage gave the Tau soldiers the fire within them to contest the rabid beasts.
While the battle raged all around Karr lead a small team of her Elite Fire Warriors on a special objective, towards the nest of cages within the heart of the base. Karr approached the first cage, scanning her weapon in front of her she turned to indicate her subordinate. “Open the cage” the Shas’Vre stepped forward to plant the explosive charge on the support, the burning crash of the explosion being consumed by the chorus of battle thundering all around them. The dense fog surrounding the cage finally dissipated, revealing the display of horror of Dark Eldar imprisonment to the saviours. They had waited too long, arrived too late. The broken and shattered corpses, of what beneath the splintered bones and pools of dry blood Karr presumed in life had been Tau Engineers and Scientists of the Earth Caste, lay splayed unceremoniously across the floor of the cell. It truly saddened Karr to see some of the finest minds of the Tau Earth Caste reduced to a broken and tortured mess, a cruel final insult to their memory. For the brief moment it seemed that the hopes of the Tau assault had died along with their fallen brethren, without their help no reinforcements could be summoned and the attack would soon fold.
But just as the final embers of hope within her began to flicker and die she noticed the sharp glint of polished metal amongst the scattered remains. With the greatest care to show some final respect to her fallen comrades she turned over the body of one of the engineers to reveal the heavily stained and dented but seemingly intact hull of an Earth Caste Builder Drone. It made sense that the Dark Eldar had let this slip beneath their gaze; there was little pleasure to be gained from tormenting a victim who could feel neither fear nor pain. Once again it seemed that the Greater Good truly watched over those who embraced the teachings.

*********************************
With the liberation of the captured prisoners Karr had assembled an army. With the assistance of the Earth Caste Builders she had constructed a base. And soon, with the full might of the Tau Strike Force in Kaurava, she would deliver swift retribution to the creatures that had tortured and imprisoned her.
“Shas’O” Karr stood in the Warroom of the Cadre Headquarters, their only link to civilisation and their only hope of survival in this hell swept wasteland. “We have made landfall and established a foothold at the base of the Dark Eldar encampment”
“Very well done Shas’El” their proximity to the Warpstorm made long range communications unreliable at best. “I am preparing my Strike Force for departure from Kaurava IV. We shall arrive soon to support you” Despite being in the Warroom for the majority of the time since the base had been established Karr had yet to relinquish her armour, choosing to remain prepared to respond to any looming threat.
“I hope that you arrive swiftly Shas’O. I fear that we will not last long if the Dark Eldar-” the thunderous roar of an explosion tore through the looming silence, interrupting the transmission.
“Shas’El, report” Or’es’Ka ordered.
“Shas’O” Karrs voice remained calm despite the panic clearly seeping into her voice. “The Dark Eldar are attacking our position!” she did not need the echo of growing battle to know the scale of the attack. “We will the line for as long as we can, but we must-” the link suddenly terminated of its own accord, leaving Karr alone in the Warroom. Karr grabbed her Pulse Rifle and helmet beside her, securing her equipment she charged out into the fray.
Beyond the safety of the Cadre Headquarters the world burned, the Dark Eldar were fanning the flames in which the Tau now burned. All around her the buildings which had defiantly risen above the corrupted wasteland now lay scorched and burned. The prisoners who had dared to place their faith in her and had risen up against their vile oppressors were now being cast down with a single swift strike. Dark Eldar Warriors, Warp Beasts and Hellions rampaged through the base, supported from all sides by flights of Reaver Jetbikes and Raider craft.
But even as harrowing as the situation was the greatest threat had yet to reveal itself. Lingering in the shadows at the edge of the base perimeter lay the Dark Eldars greatest weapon, the chariot of their dark master, the Dais of Destruction. Atop the demonic Dias sat Lord Vect, the leader and rallying banner of the Dark Eldar himself. Karr knew what had to be done to end this battle, to see a Tau victory over the vile demons the banner of the Dark Eldar must fall.
Karr drew her Pulse Rifle from her back, placing the scope of her weapon to her eye she prepared to do her duty to the Greater Good. Karr fired her weapon, the single bolt of super heated plasma flew across the battlefield in a burning blue trail, a mesmerising sight. The plasma struck just short of the target, the Pulse Round striking the elaborate decoration of the throne upon the Dias. All the defiant act seemed to accomplish was to draw the fire of the Dais’s gunners, forcing her to leap behind the cover of nearby supply crates, she knew that she would require a greater weapon to wield if she were to strike the killing blow.
Across the battlefield, on the far side of the Tau compound, sat the silent husks of XV-88 Broadside Battlesuits. As the Heavy Mobile Artillery pieces of the Tau Empire the Rail Gun of the XV-88 alone held sufficient firepower to disintegrate any who dared to approach their entrenched position. Karr knew what she had to do, steeling herself against fear and whispering the Fire Chant beneath her laboured breaths she broke from cover and charged into the fray.
All around her fires burned, Splinter shards crossed Pulse Rounds, Kroot Staffs clashing with Mandrake Scythes. The foul stench of death hung thick in the polluted air. Karr dodged stray rounds and clashes, eager not to endanger herself in a needless engagement before she could deliver her killing blow. Karr finally reached the Heavy Mech despite the raging conflict the weapon appeared undamaged. Karr clambered into the cockpit of the Broadside XV-88, activating the vast array of sophisticated systems required to operate the advanced mech.
The heavy weapons platform activated in a primal roar of engines combined with the pulsating blue glow of its energy source. A flight of two Reaver Jetbikes swooped down towards the newly revitalised vehicle, eager to eliminate the threat before it could be awoken. Karr brought the arms of her mechs up to face the threat, opening fire with a barrage of rockets, the projectiles striking the noses of the craft, forcing them into a spiralling fireball of burning metal. But now she was prepared to deliver the killing blow. Karr activated the XV-88’s most powerful weapon, the mechs bipedal legs stamping into the corrupted landscape allowed the twin barrels of the rail gun to fall into place, pulsating with bright blue energy. Karr drew her weapons up to face the heart of the Dark Eldar war effort.
The rail gun let fly with a simultaneous barrage of bright blue plasma, the pulses of energy reverberating through the solid structure of the mech. The concentrated balls of blue energy cut across the battlefield, the highly accurate projectile striking the rear section of the crafts hull covering the engine. The craft bucked and turned with the force of the impact, forcing Lord Vect to tightly grip the armrests of his throne for support. The Dark Eldar overlord growled deeply in his alien throat, as the craft began to settle he rose to his feet, fire in his eyes as he stared at the one who had been so bold as to defy him. The two leaders, across the great divide of the battle, stared eachother down, each unrelenting, the anger within them threatening to force the two into a single clash which would only see one emerge.
But suddenly out of the looming darkness came the thunderous roar of engines, dozens of Tau Orca Transports flanked by Barracuda fighter escorts descended on glowing blue wings of fire to aid their contested brethren. Once more the tides of battle had shifted.
“Retreat” however on this occasion the Dark Lord conceded his position, collapsing down onto his throne, his bladed claws grasped the skulls at the tips of his pointed armrests with sufficient force splinter the hardened bone. “I require repairs”
Upon this single order his chariot of darkness, escorted by the scattered fragments of his force, turned and began its ascent towards the looming peak upon which the citadel was built. Although his prey had slipped his grasp it would only make his victory all the sweeter as he drank their souls from their broken bodies as all around them their encampment was consumed by flames. What the Dark Lord did not realize was that this minor victory would be the launching point from which the Tau would sweep away the scattered remnants of the Black Heart Kabal and see that their retribution would be done.

*********************************
Tau Shas’El Karr stared out across the battlefield before her. She did not feel the slightest remorse as the Dark Eldar citadel burned and their troops were slaughtered in mass.
The task force of elite Fire Warriors, under the command of their Shas’El, continued to press their way up the hill towards the Dark Eldar position ahead of them. While Tau commander Or’es’Ka led the main force against the bulk of the Dark Eldar horde Karr had been chosen to lead her soldiers in an effort to finally end the flight of the Dias of Destruction. When that dark vessel sinks into the dirt the will and spirit of the Dark Eldar would quickly follow.
“Target ahead” Karrs lead Pathfinder pointed into the centre of the fray building before them. Karr stared out into the battle before her. Directly ahead of them hovered a ghostly vessel over the battlefield, flanked on all sides by the forces of corruption.
“Hammerheads” Karr activated the COM link, communicating with the loyal pilots of the two accompanying Hammerhead Gunships flanking either side of their commander. “Open fire on the Dias of Destruction, let that ship fall to the Greater Good”
“Affirmative Shas’El” the lead pilot acknowledged the command. “Rail gun charging” the two hover tanks, the right hand of the Greater Good, hovered into position behind their commander. The mighty rail guns of the Heavy Gunships opened fire, launching a concentrated pulse of plasma into the pointed nose of the craft; the first volley only appeared to scar the armoured hull of the craft. The rebellious act of defiance only served to draw the attention of the dark vessel, a barrage of splinter rounds from the Dais’s secondary cannons fractured against the armoured hull of the lead Tau vehicles. The riot guns of the Hammerheads splashed charged plasma across the enemy vessel, their rail guns charging in preparation for their final attack.
Lord Vect rose from his throne to stand proudly atop his flagship; he held the large bladed claws of his right hand arm’s length high into the air. A pulsing ball of dark energy formed in his gauntleted hand, coursing arcs of lightning striking the Dais’s main cannon. Karr had read reports on this weapon; she knew the darkness that was soon to fall upon them all. “Pilots fire all guns. Fire all-”
Her words were in vain. The Dias’s main gun, empowered by the essence of the Dark Lord of Commorragh, opened fire on the Tau line in a burning purple wave. Karr threw herself into the dirt, feeling the burning tingle of energy surging through her as the beam passed overhead. Karr dared to look up, the engine of the Dark Eldar Dais had been crippled; in its final act of defiance one of the Hammerheads had fired its main cannon and delivered its killing blow.
The damaged craft wavered in mid-air before it suddenly lunged forward towards the scattered remnants of the Tau formation, Karr pressed herself into the dirt once again as the drowning moan of the faltering engines passed overhead. Karr rolled onto her back, watching with barely restrained euphoria as the vessels flight finally ceased in a spectacular plume of flames. All around her the scattered remains of her force gathered and charged towards the remaining enemy formation. Karr yearned to rejoin her soldiers in their final victorious charge but the sheer splendour of the shattered wreck was so overwhelmingly beautiful that she could not bear to turn away from it. A Tau Fire Warrior helped pull their fallen knight to her feet before resuming his charge.
Movement suddenly stirred within the wreckage, debris shifted as something stirred within the fiery inferno. Karrs feet began to move of their own accord, drawing her towards the burning wreckage. Karr discarded her Pulse Rifle aside; though the Tau did not focus themselves in hand to hand combat, believing it to be the crude weapons of the barbarians, this was the way it had to be done. As she drew closer she could discern more and more detail of the identity of the lone survivor, the grand elaborate design of the beasts armour as it rose and fell with each cough and harsh breath as he drew in the much needed air. Karr struck the large figure in the side with her armoured foot, forcing the broken man to roll over onto his back, his burning red eyes staring back up at her. “You will never defeat us” Vect spat the words past his lips. “If you wish to deliver my death then do not expect me to beg-”
Karr plunged the curved point of her forearm blade into the chest of Lord Vects armour, feeling the serrated blade piercing deeper past the heavy armour and cutting into the soft flesh beneath. Karr twisted the blade within the writhing body, feeling the life slowly draining from within him as he took his final gasping breath. Karr withdrew her weapon, the blade soaked thick with fresh blood. Karr could not bring herself to rise to her feet, all that she could do was stare into his lifeless eyes. This creature was the heart of everything, every prisoner, every Tau soldier left dead in this attack, their blood drenched his hands.
“Very impressive my little ember” Karr remembered that voice well; it was one she would never allow herself to forget. Karr quickly snapped to her feet, turning sharply to face the source of the voice. Archon Tahril stood several metres away, clapping his bladed hands with sarcastic ease. “It seems you have truly proven yourself the better warrior at slaying an unarmed man while he lays broken on his back” a despicable smile grew across his corrupted lips. “It saddens me that I cannot remain and kill you myself, but Commarragh eagerly yearns for my return” Tahril bowed mockingly to his enemy. “Farewell”
Archon Tahril turned on his heel and stepped through the Webway portal, the dark creature vanishing in a blink of deep purple light.

*********************************
Karr felt the gentle breeze wafting through her blood red hair, staring out over the smouldering embers of what had once served as the heart of the Dark Eldar war effort within the Kaurava System. From her vantage point atop the cliffs she watched as Fire Warrior teams and Kroot Carnivore packs hunted through the deserted landscape in search of the scattered remnants of the Dark Eldar. In this instance she had abandoned her post battle ritual and had retained her armour and weapons whilst she oversaw the final operations before departing the moon to continue the fight across Kaurava.
“Shas’El” a Tau Shas’Vre approached his commanding officer. “The battle is won Shas’El. The enemy forces are routed; those which remained either fled through hidden Webway portals or away slipped into the wilderness. We have destroyed the Webway portals in order to prevent the Dark Eldar returning. What are your orders Shas’El?”
“I do not wish to subject our soldiers to this hellish wasteland for a moment longer. Release the prisoners from their cells; offer those who survived the torture of the Dark Eldar an opportunity to come under the doctrine of the Greater Good. Those who accept are to be escorted to the Orca transports and taken to Kaurava IV for quarantine and re-education, those who refuse are to be left where they stand” Karr turned to face her comrade. “Once all of our forces have evacuated we shall purge this wasteland with fire from the Ar’Ka cannon”
“Very well Shas’El” the Fire Warrior saluted with the sharp crash of his gauntlet against his chest and turned to leave. Karr returned her gaze to the hell scorned wasteland before her.
“Shas’El” the voice of an Earth Caste Fio’El approached his commanding officer. “I just heard your orders, but I ask you to reconsider. We have discovered an artefact I believe would be of interest-”
“There is nothing on this corrupted moon left for us” Karr said sharply, her gaze unfaltering from the wasteland before her.
“Shas’El” the scientist assembled his words with delicate care. “With all due respect, we believe that this artefact may be the source of the Dark Eldars capabilities to traverse-”
“I cannot speak for you Fio’El” Karr turned to face the scientist. “But I am in no way interested in spending another moment in this hell scorned wasteland than necessary. Gather what data you can whilst the evacuation is completed and then report to your transport. But do not take any samples with you, we cannot allow any of their dark taint to leave this moon and risk their corruption spreading. Should your discovery survive the purge of the Ar’Ka cannon you are free to return here at your own discretion and continue your analysis if your scientific curiosity demands”
“Very well, Shas’El” the scientist quickly retreated to conduct his work.

*********************************
“Shas’O” the holographic representation of the Tau commander loomed on the far side of the tactical display. “The battle of Lacunae has been won. In the wake of the conflict the Earth Caste have discovered what they believe is a Dark Eldar artefact” a holographic model of the Dark Eldar Webway portal rotated on the surface of the display. “Our engineers believe that the artefact had been reconfigured in order to allow the Dark Eldar to access the entire Webway network within the Kaurava system, they theorize that this is how their attacks have been so widespread across the system”
Or’es’Ka pondered the knowledge for a moment. “With this technology we will be free to strike at any target within the Kaurava system. Now that the Dark Eldar threat has been eliminated we are free to turn our attention to our greatest enemy” the holographic display of the Kaurava system returned, Or’es’Ka laid a large finger upon the simulated surface of Kaurava I. “The Imperial Guard. As the foot soldiers of the Imperium they have laid claim to the system for hundreds of years, allowing them to sink their wretched claws into every developed region within the system”
“I have encountered the Imperial Guard in many previous campaigns” the memories flooded through her mind in one fell swoop. “They are stubborn and unyielding, unable to utilize military strategies beyond massing Infantry and Armoured Columns against our ranks. While ignorant they still remain a great threat”
“The Kaurava conflict has struck the Imperial Guard the hardest of all. The arrival of eight other conflicting factions within the system has forced the remnants of the Imperial Guard to retreat to their citadel within the Dussala Precinct of Kaurava I in an effort to co-ordinate their forces in the hope of an effective counter-attack. That is where we shall strike and drive the enemy from Kaurava forever”

*********************************
Tau forces quickly slipped onto the surface of Kaurava I, establishing a foothold on the planet they began engaging the Imperial Guard directly. In the wake of several bloody battles Tau ground troops finally overcame the human defenders and began to press deeper inland towards the primary Imperial installations. In the end the Imperial General withdrew his soldiers towards his stronghold at Dussala Precinct and dared the alien invaders to follow in after him. In the end the Tau had little choice but to take a leap of faith and follow them into the dark abyss, but they didn’t get very far.

The bulkhead doors slid silently open to allow Shas’El Karr to step into the heart of the Cadre Headquarters. As always she found Tau Commander Or’es’Ka perched over the tactical display, she greeted him with a sharp salute.
“I have returned from my patrol, Shas’O” Karr delivered her report. “The perimeter of the base has been secured; the patrols have reported minimal enemy contact. It seems unlike the Mon’keigh to allow such a blatant insult to the Emperor in their presence”
“I believe that I may be in position to offer an explanation, Shas’El” Or’es’Ka activated the holographic display as she spoke. “I received a report from the squad of Pathfinders I dispatched to map the enemy positions” the display formed into an overhead view of the battlefield to come. “The enemy has two major installations within Dussala Precinct. Their command headquarters and primary production facilities are located here” Or’es’Ka indicated the far side of the battlefield from their position. “Their other main installation lies in the centre of the battlefield supported by secondary supply and expansion bases” Or’es’Ka indicated the scattering of red marks pocketing the map. “We believe that this position operates an experimental artillery site codenamed ‘Enhanced Basilisk’” The holographic display formed into a technical analysis of the few pieces of intelligence that had been assembled on the weapon and its fearsome capabilities. “This weapon has range and firepower to rival even the rail gun of our Broadside battlesuits; already it has successfully kept our armour and massed infantry at bay. But I am afraid that despite its capabilities the weapon will not prove our greatest obstacle in this battle” Or’es’Ka triggered the holographic display once again. “The Imperial Headquarters within Dussala also serves as the primary Imperial Baneblade production facility within the Kaurava system” a holographic model of the human war machine loomed over the holographic display, its entire armoured surface pocketed with an array of heavy weapons and armaments.
“At least we are fighting an enemy with some semblance of honour, one who is willing to face us in direct conflict”
“The Mon’keigh is designed for little else but direct conflict, but we have the support of the Greater Good. We have learnt the Imperials delivered a shipment of Baneblades to the frontline in order to hold the line against the advance of the Sisters of Battle; this has left them without a single operational Baneblade within their stronghold. We have discovered that they are attempting to construct more” the holographic display showed the Dussala Precinct. “The components, crews and ammunition have been assembled at the Mechanised Command buildings and are to be transported in convoys to the Mars Pattern buildings in the central guard complex” the map burned with red trails each leading into the centre of the complex. “We must first remove the threat of the Imperial Artillery site before we can advance-”
Or’es’Ka was interrupted midsentence as a holographic figure of a Tau Pathfinder hovering over the holographic display. “My apologises for interrupting Shas’O but I have an urgent message to relay”
Or’es’Ka’s posture stiffened. “Go ahead, Shas’Vre”
“Shas’O the Imperials have advanced their operations. While conducting reconnaissance on the Imperial perimeter we identified a vehicle we believe to be transporting Baneblade components departing the outlying base with a heavily armed escort”
Or’es’Ka and Karr passed a silent glance across the divide. “Well done, Shas’Vre. Remain hidden and continue your observations” the Pathfinder snapped a sharp salute as the transmission terminated.
“We must act immediately” Karr said urgently.
“I know, Shas’El” Or’es’Ka admitted. “But with the Artillery operational we would not to be able to draw our soldiers close enough to-”
“I do not need soldiers” Karr snapped sharply, her gauntleted hands crashing down on the console with a crescendo of metal against metal. “If those convoys reach the central complex the Imperials will have their ultimate weapon. Send me and a squad to intercept them; if we succeed the Imperials will lose their greatest advantage”
Or’es’Ka conceded. “Very well” they both returned their gaze to the virtual map of the cityscape. “Before our arrival the Imperials collapsed the major highways and flooded the underground routes leading towards the city centre in an effort to slow our advance. However in the end this may prove their undoing, forcing both us and the Imperial convoys to trail through the tight city streets amongst the looming conflict”
“If we could get ahead of the convoy...” Karr followed the predicted path of the convoy across the map. “We could launch an ambush and eliminate the threat entirely”
“Very well Shas’El, go forward and serve the Greater Good”

*********************************
The elite strike team moved with light feet and silent breathes beneath the cover of twilight. The team consisted of two Stealth Teams and an elite squad of Fire Warriors equipped with modified short range jump packs for traversing difficult terrain. Ensuring to keep to the heavy shadows of the ruins of the overhanging buildings they had yet to encounter an Imperial patrol. Karr prayed that their fortune would continue as their small size would leave them easy prey to the looming Imperial force.
Though it seemed her faith in the Greater Good was well placed as they came within sight of the objective, what had once served as a major highway linking the city together, flanked on one side by tall ruins of buildings and the other by an impassable defensive wall, would serve as the perfect ambush point for the approaching Imperial convoy.
“Stealth teams” Karr turned to face her Stealth Team Leaders. “Establish our position in those ruins above”
“Affirmative Shas’El” the team triggered their jump packs and leapt up onto one of the exposed floors of the ruined building, the outer wall having been blown open by an artillery shell.
Karr turned to face her team. “Fire Team, prepare the charges. The convoy will be arriving soon”

****************************
Imperial Guard Sergeant Kiara Wulf considered herself either to be blessed, or cursed. Born into a devoted Imperial family Kiara had joined the Imperial Academy once she had become of age; however her apparent act of selfless patriotism helped to conceal a far darker secret. Since childhood Kiara had lived in constant fear of her abilities as a Psyker being discovered, although weak and untrained her talents allowed her a glimpse into the world surrounding her, which alone would be sufficient for the Imperium to have her sacrifice herself to the God Emperor. Kiara had hoped that with time she would learn to control her abilities, in the mean time hoping to lose herself amongst the thousands of servants of the Imperium and conceal herself from the many eyes of the Inquisition.
Kiaras abilities though did offer her some saving graces, sitting in the cramped crew compartment of the Chimera troop transport she could feel the stale air drenched thick with fear and primal anticipation. Each of the other Imperial Guard soldiers were young men, each knew their duty was to defend the Imperium and give their lives if need be. After weeks of watching from the Imperial stronghold they had patrolled the empty streets of Dussala it came as an unwelcome change for these raw recruits to find themselves on the newest frontline in this growing conflict which threatened to engulf all of Kaurava in its flames.
The Imperial convoy was composed of a vanguard of two Sentinels and a Chimera transport carrying a full platoon of Imperial Guardsmen and elite Kasikrin Heavy Infantry. In the centre of the formation rolled a Rhino Heavy Transport carrying a full payload of parts and munitions required for the production of Imperial Baneblade tanks, the rear guard was protected by Kiaras Chimera and a second formation of Sentinels. They all knew the importance of this mission, without the Baneblades the Imperium in Kaurava would fall. The God Emperor moves in mysterious ways if the latest shipment of Baneblades had been transferred to the frontlines to hold the line against the Sisters of Battle the day before the Tau launched their daring assault. The looming silence was broken by the thunderous crash of explosions. The Tau had arrived.

****************************
The trap had been set. Karr lay hidden in the snipers nest her team had constructed in the shattered ruins of the human building looming over the street. The sound was carried on the wind, the lingering growl of the engines of the human vehicles growing louder as they drew closer. Karr could see the warm glow of the vehicles lights lining the armoured hull of the Imperial vehicles as they rolled down the street towards the Tau position.
Karr clasped the trigger in her hand, listening as the rhythmic clank of the Imperial Sentinels armoured feet against the broken tarmac, as soon as they were directly beneath them the trap will be sprung. Karr passed her gaze across the rest of the team, each held their weapons tightly in their hand, ready to do their duty to the Greater Good.
The lead mech passed beneath their position. Karr activated the trigger, the explosives detonated beneath the feet of the leading Sentinels. The legs of the heavy mechs cracked and splintered with the heat and pressure of the explosion, the human vehicles collapsed to the ground in a flurry of explosions and shattered metal casings. The broken chassis’s formed a barrier of smouldering debris, trapping the remaining vehicles of the convoy in the street. The troop doors of the Chimera transports slammed open, the soldiers piling out of their transports into the open street.
The Imperial soldiers were met with a rain of bright blue plasma from the concealed Tau position. The Guardsmen took cover behind the vehicles, returning fire with lasfire into the entrenched enemy position. Kiara pressed herself against the hull of the Chimera, shielding herself from the Tau bombardment. The alien beings maintained the advantage at range, but they would soon find that the servants of the Imperium would not falter so easily. The broken hulls of the Sentinels prevented any chance of retreat; this only left them one choice, to fight.
“Forward soldiers of the Imperium!” the thunderous roar of the Imperial Commissar accompanied the heroic visage of the aging Imperial leader holding himself high above the rank and file soldiers surrounding him, his very image revitalising the faltering morale of the men. Although a Commissar did not hold an official rank within the Imperial Command structure they maintained the authority to supersede the orders of planetary governors in service to the God Emperor. This authority combined with their unshakable devotion to the Imperium made them a force to be feared and respected within the Imperium and their enemies alike.
The Imperial Guardsmen quickly rallied beneath their fearless leader, firing a barrage of grenades into the Tau position they quickly forced the aliens to cover for their lives. Yet despite this victory the precise strikes of the Tau snipers continued to scatter the Imperial forces. Once more the Commissar, in the face of the looming danger, fearlessly rose from cover to address his soldiers. “Fight you dogs!” the Commissar stared down at his men with rabid fire in his eyes. “In the name of the Emperor you will not fal-” the Commissars words of furious righteousness were silenced mid-sentence, a large red mark seeped from the chest of the Commissars armour. “Damn... heretics” the symbol of the Imperial fury fell from atop the vehicles, laying dead at his soldiers feet, his final gasping breath a curse upon the heretical xeno which had struck him down. With their fearless leader dead at their feet the Imperial offensive quickly began to falter. Kiara quickly realized that there was only one way forwards.

****************************
Karr fired another bolt of plasma into the armoured hull of the Chimera before dropping into cover from the barrage of laser fire. All around her the intense skirmish continued, with losses forming on both sides, though despite this it appeared that with their leader dead the Imperial morale quickly faltered.
The Imperial fire suddenly began to waver and cease entirely. The battlefield had fallen deafly silent, Karr dared to expose her head out from cover. Karr could see a single figure emerging from cover, an Imperial soldier, their lasgun still held loosely in their arms. Whatever this human intended did not warrant more bloodshed.
“Tau soldiers” the creatures’ voice carried far, the human carefully avoided the use of the more popular Imperial terms such as ‘Xenos’ or ‘Heretic’. “I wish to address whomever you call your leader”
Karr stepped out of cover into the view of the soldier standing beneath her. The Imperial soldier was a young woman, dark brown hair spilling down her back in a well maintained ponytail. By her uniform and the way she carried herself Karr assumed she had been forced into the leadership position as their representative.
“Thank you, Commander” the soldier addressed her. “I am Sergeant Kiara Wulfstan of the Imperial Guard. You have fought well Tau soldiers, had you been of the Imperium of Man you would be rivals of the greatest among us” the human took her weapon tightly in her hands. “But I do not wish to fight you or to needlessly sacrifice the lives of my men” the human laid their weapon at her feet.

****************************
The operation was over; heavy casualties had been suffered on both sides of the engagement, in the end a single Imperial soldier had stepped forward to offer a pact of ceasefire. In the end Karr had agreed to allow the Imperial soldiers to depart in exchange for the sacrifice of their Baneblade shipment. In trade the Imperial Guardsmen would be free to return to face eachother again in the final engagement.
Karr watched from their outpost as the wreckage of the transport exploded in a plume of bright orange flame as the Pulse Grenades detonated beneath the armoured hull of the transport, the flames lapping at the dark twilight which surrounded it. The battle of Dussala Precinct had begun and soon the streets would run fast and thick with blood.

****************************
Karr watched from the balcony above the street, gazing out over the remains of the war torn district. Beneath her the dying embers still pocketed the wreckage of the destroyed transport, the shattered structure creaking and buckling as the metal cooled in the night air.
Having dispatched most of her team to return the wounded to the Cadre headquarters and with the few remaining on patrol across the sector of the district Karr was left alone in deaf silence to ponder exactly how she intended to eliminate the Imperial Artill-
“Commander” a voice carried on the wind broke the looming silence.
“Why do you remain?” Karr did not need to face them to know who it was, she had become familiar with that voice in the past few hours. “Your men left hours ago” Karr turned to face the Imperial Sergeant who had dared to defy her regime in an effort to preserve the lives of her soldiers.
“I wished to say thank you” the human was sincere in her words. “I doubt that many of my kind would have done the same for you”
“You shouldn’t thank me” Karr replied bluntly. “What I did changed nothing. By tomorrow we will both return to our sides of the battlefield and resume firing at eachother across the vast divide, that’s just the way it is”
“Tragically you are correct. It seems that the galaxy is doomed to a cycle of death and destruction. I have always hoped-” Kiara suddenly stopped mid-sentence, staring at the alien with serene bewilderment. “I can feel something”
“Feel” Karr asked.
Karr almost seemed embarrassed to have said the words. “When I was young I discovered that I have Psyker abilities. If the Imperium discovered this I would be made a mindless husk”
Karr had to admit that due to her species lack of connection to the Warp themselves her technical knowledge of the abilities were lacking. “It is not dangerous to maintain those abilities without proper training?”
“My forces are not especially strong” Kiara almost seemed ashamed to admit it, but at the same time relieved by the revelation. “I have trained myself to suppress my abilities; I can only feel a whisper of what another is feeling and only when I truly concentrate” Kiara cocked her head slightly. “I can feel your sorrow, your pain. You feel conflicted; you were a prisoner of the Dark Eldar horde”
“I was-” Kiara choked back a response. “They did things to me, to others. I could do nothing to stop them”
“You have travelled down a dark path” Kiaras tone turned comforting. “The Tau are usually remain so isolated from the Warp, it must be a very strong emotion if I am hearing the faintest whisper of it” Karr wrapped her arms around her broad shoulders. “I do not see evil within you. You seem almost human in nature”
“The humans’ maybe one of the few who may one day fight as an ally rather than an ever lingering foe”
Kiara smiled. “I doubt that the rank and file of the Imperium would be willing to stand against their God Emperor. The Inquisitors believe that Xeno’s breathe fire and their touch burns as acid”
“You know that is not entirely false, little human” Karr placed her right hand over her face, her fingers spread from her mouth like a satire of a warp spawned demon. “Rawr, I am a warp spawned hell demon, ready to destroy you with my evil taint!”
Kiara stepped back. “Oh no” her tone turned to the voice of a damsel in distress. “A demonic horror ready to tear my delicate purity asunder”
Karrs eager lips turned slippery and sinister. “They say that demons may emerge as any form you may wish, therefore you must desire the shapely form of a Tau female”
Karr approached her human counterpart, standing mere centimetres away she could feel the heat radiating from her alien body. “Oh yes” Karr stepped forward again, the breast plates of their armoured chests meshing in a joining of tranquil human green and fiery Tau orange. “I could not resist your ample bosoms” Kiaras right hand crept upwards until it rested upon Karrs chest. “Toned stomachs” Kiara placed both of her hands to Karrs well formed midriff. “And shapely thighs” Kiaras right hand drifted downwards to caress her armoured thigh.
Karr pressed herself forwards, accepting the humans gentle caresses, she forced Kiara to take another step until her back pressed against the rear wall of the building, cornered. “You cannot escape” Karr smiled with pointed teeth in view. “Feel my xeno touch tainting you” Karr pressed herself against her shorter companion, passing the tips of her fingers through Kiaras dark brown hair. “You cannot resist my caresses”
Karrs free hand caressed Kiaras side, her inquisitive fingers following the gentle curve of her armour plating Karr held the link of Kiaras armour in her hands, releasing the clip with a flash of her fingers. Karr suppressed Kiaras gasp of surprise with a well placed kiss, their lips forming together in an alien corruption of yin and yang. While Karrs lips drew her attention her dexterous hands slipped the heavy armour from Kiaras shoulders, discarding the unnecessary protection aside Kiara now felt Karrs hands caressing her pert breasts beneath her olive drab shirt.
Karr held the clasp of Kiaras shirt between her dexterous fingertips, gently drawing the clasp down her front opening Kiaras shirt. Karr slipped her hands beneath the lip of Kiaras shirt, caressing Kiaras pert breasts directly. Karr passed her finger tips across Kiaras well-formed breasts, her pert nipples hardening at the alien’s gentle touch. Karrs hands slowly began to descend southwards, opening Kiaras shirt further as she descended.
Kiara pressed her hands into the wall for support, her hands passing across the floor in search of something to suppress the Tau advance. Kiara clasped a shattered fragment of metal in her palm, she brought the metal in front of her eyes in a crude parody of a Space Marine helm. “Back foul beast!” Kiara slashed her free hand in front of herself, forcing Karr onto her back foot stumbling back several steps. Kiara rose to full height in bold defiance of her Tau counterpart. “As a Grey Knight of the Imperium I shall resist your foul xeno taint” her voice boomed with revitalised confidence and vigour.
Karr fell to her knees before Kiara. “Oh no, a Grey Knight” Karrs voice cracked with feigned fear. “Slayer of demons and vanguard of the Imperium”
“In service to the Emperor I shall strike you down” Kiara raised her free hand from her side, holding her faux blade tightly in anticipation. Kiara slashed her free hand across Karrs throat in a mock execution, Karrs body falling limp at Kiaras feet. Kiara stood over her defeated enemy, watching the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she drifted into the throes of simulated death. Kiara dropped to her knees beside the body of the Tau soldier, passing her finger tips across the woman’s broad chest. Kiara snaked her fingers beneath the lip of Karrs armour, peeling away the moulded plating to reveal the athletic figure of a Tau soldier forged through years of service to the Greater Good. Kiara slipped the legs of her armour away to reveal her sculpted legs, leaving the Tau female lying bare before her.
Karr suddenly stirred from her eternal slumber, her muscles tensing and her mind slowly returning to the physical world of reality. Karrs eyes fluttered open, peering up at the Imperial soldier looming over her. “You... you saved me” Karr threw her arms around her fantasy saviour, embracing her with the warmth and humility as though she truly had spared her life. “Thank you brave knight” Karr placed her curvaceous lips to Kiaras ear, her breath warming her skin against the cool night air. “How may I return such kindness?”
Kiara choose not to answer with words but instead with action. Kiara clasped her hands across Karrs exposed sides, her long elegant fingers caressing the silky skin coloured a tranquil alien blue, contrasting against the fiery red of a human. Karrs knees collapsed beneath her own weight, allowing her to fall before Kiara. Karr allowed her fingers to drift across Kiaras front, gently drifting down to caress her finger tips across the lip of Kiaras olive drab pants. Karr slipped her finger tips beneath Kiaras loose shirt, feeling the soft human skin beneath her finger tips. Karr hooked her fingers beneath Kiaras shirt, feeling the soft human skin form and move beneath her finger tips. Karr snagged the belt of Kiaras combat pants with a hooked finger, feeling the soft warmth rising up from within her. Karr released the intricate buckle of Kiaras heavy combat trousers, allowing the heavy clothing to slip down her sculpted legs to pool at her feet.
Kiara allowed herself to fall backwards, pressing her back against the wall, her hands clasped against the wall for support. Karr licked her lips in anticipation of the looming pleasures still to come, inhaling the sweet scent wafting from the Sergeants well maintained centre. Karr nuzzled her between Kiaras creamy thighs, feeling the warm touch of Kiaras moist pussy lips. Karrs tongue slipped from between her lips, caressing Kiaras outer pussy lips with her moist tongue. A shiver of pleasure cascaded down her spine as the alien tongue delved deeper inside of her, alien pleasures left untapped suddenly began to surface with each gentle swish of her dexterous tongue.
The Imperial soldiers’ knees began to weaken beneath the unending Tau assault against her nether region, Karrs long tongue pressed deeper inside of her, wishing devilishly from side to side, her lips suckling eagerly at her wet lips. Kiara finally reached the ground beneath her, bracing herself against the broken wall behind her.
Karr finally dared to withdraw her tongue from within her warm, dripping pussy, licking her lips to savour the sweet flavour coating her skin. Kiaras entire body quivered from the withdrawal of the intense pleasure, but her fears were soon suppressed as she felt the aliens adventurous fingers rising up to caress the base of Kiaras stomach, quickly followed by her wet tongue. Karrs tongue met the hem of Kiaras tongue and allowed her head to slip beneath Kiaras loose shirt, her tongue continuing the advance up Kiaras front to reach the under curve of Kiaras ample chest.
Kiara giggled softly as she felt the soft touch of Karrs alien tongue across the under curve of her pert breasts. Despite the tight constraint of Kiaras top Karr allowed her tongue to touch and caress at every bare space of flesh her long tongue could dare to reach. Karr clasped her lips over the pert nub of Kiaras nipple, feeling the soft flesh move and waver beneath her soft caresses.
With a shaking hand Kiara reached out to hold Karrs in hers, their long alien fingers entwining together. Kiara guided Karrs fingers down across her flat light blue stomach, leaving a warm trail of nerves in her wake. Kiara touched their entwined fingers to Karrs outer pussy lips, feeling the radiant warmth flowing out over her hands. Their shared hands slipped between Karrs alien pussy lips, each set of hands working in tandem to delve deeper inside of her. Karrs breathing deepened and her heartbeat raced in her chest as she drew every closer to release. The intertwined lovers allowed themselves to surrender to their shared desires together, their bodies drowning in their shared pleasure.
Karr suddenly felt the warm cocoon of Kiaras shirt suddenly release around her, the wash of the cold night air washing over her skin was exhilarating. Karr rose herself up so their eyes met, a delectable smile forming upon her lips. Kiara reached her arms up to wrap around her broad shoulders, Karr mimicking her action and drawing her partner into a warm embrace, their lips joining as though they had been formed for eachother. Karr could feel her corruption retreating, the touch of the Dark Eldar was dissipating. In this moment even the war which raged around them did not concern them. Here they were safe, here they are free.
