Editing Armageddon (section)

===The Months of Shame===
As the whole planet had been contaminated by [[Chaos]], by the sanction of [[Inquisition|Inquisitor Lord Ghesmei Kysnaros]], the decided course of action was that the remaining population of Armageddon, civilians and soldiers alike, were to be [[Grimdark|sterilized and sent to Inquisitorial compounds to be worked to death]] or otherwise exterminated, and optimistically intended to have any Space Wolves who had seen the Grey Knights be mindwiped save for Grimnar.

The Space Wolves were not fucking amused, to put it mildly. Logan [[RAGE|politely and calmly]] explained to the Inquisitor that by punishing the citizens of Armageddon for their heroism and survival, the Inquisition were sullying the honour of the men that yet lived and disrespecting the memories of the dead. The Inquisitor Lord more or less told Logan to go fuck himself. [[RAGE|The Old Wolf was not amused]].

Shortly after this exchange, surviving refugees and soldiers began to be transported off-world, only to mysteriously 'disappear' (certainly nothing to do with the Grey Knights knocking out their warp-drives then blowing them apart, not at all!). The Wolves pretty quickly figured out what was up and called the Inquisition to explain their deeds, but they weren't feeling talkative. The Inquisition began firing on any civilian craft leaving the planet, including the ones escorted by the Space Wolves, who blocked the Inquisitorial fire, [[Noblebright|first with their void shields and then with the hulls of their ships, but never fired back.]]

After months of tense standoffs and passive resistance against the Inquisition, the Space Wolves had eventually dispersed unquantified numbers of survivors and utterly shattered the Inquisition's best attempts at containment (including several outright [[Exterminatus]] actions on planets where survivors were believed to have been), to the point where the Inquisition themselves unofficially admitted containment was simply no longer possible. Having failed with his previous attempts, the Inquisitor Lord was feeling a bit [[butthurt]] and so decided to lash out, and this is where the Space Wolves finally got sick of the Inquisition's shit.

See, the Inquisitor Lord Kysnaros and the Grey Knights Grand Master serving him had hit upon a brilliant (read: utterly bone-headed) plan: they would call a truce with the Wolves and meet with them in a neutral system to parley, with their respective ships' weapons and shields powered down to prevent any "unfortunate incidents". The catch, of course, was that the Inquisition never intended to live up to their word - when the fleets met as planned, they would open fire almost immediately to cripple the Space Wolves' fleet and force Grimnar to submit to their demands under the threat of annihilation.

Grimnar, unaware of the trap, duly showed up in the relic [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Scramaseax'' with its weapons off and shields powered down (as both sides had agreed upon), only for its escorts to be destroyed and the Strike Cruiser itself halfway crippled. Kysnaros took a moment to gloat before "inviting" Grimnar across to his ship, to discuss how the Wolves were going to atone for their actions against the Inquisition (hint: it involved stripping away a lot of their independence and sending them on a [[Lamenters|Penitent Crusade]]). As it would turn out however, that Inquisitorial Gloating™ would prove to be a bit premature.

Unsurprisingly ''royally'' pissed off at this betrayal and Kysnaros's outrageous demands, [[Just as Planned|Grimnar traveled to the Inquisitor's ship]], and (upon finding out he gave the order to fire on the Wolves) [[Not as Planned|promptly split the Grey Knights Grand Master open from head to nadgers before he could even draw his blade]], before verbally tearing into both the Grey Knights (who were becoming increasingly demoralized, feeling this campaign was a failure and far out of their remit) and the Inquisitor Lord for their incompetence, betrayal of parley, and overall pig-headed approach. When the Knights tried to prevent the remaining Wolves (Logan and three of his Honour Guard, all others having died in the betrayal) from teleporting out, the Wolves answered by shooting their way back to the ''Scramaseax'' and departing the system at speed.

(Evidently the Inquisitor Lord thought it was a good idea to be in a void war with [[Logan Grimnar]], a dude who can call on EIGHT battle barges and FUCKING THIRTY [[Strike Cruiser]]s, and in command of a chapter, a [[First Founding]] chapter no less, of Space Marines, and whose [[Awesome|forces are typically assumed to be approximately triple the average number]], [[Black Templars|if not larger]]. [[Rape|He was wrong]].)
