''Entering target location, weapons at the ready, shoot anything that moves, and don't stop for anyone''

''The corridors of the abandoned facility seemed to stretch on forever as Firrare crept through the darkness, his breathing laboured in the confines of his Bio-mask, the weight of the prototype that his team had been sent to find hanging from his belt, the only sources of light were the mini-torch attached to end of his shotgun, and the slowly-pulsing light of the scanner display in his helmets visor.''

''Debris of centuries past rustled as he shuffled his feet forward, not daring to lift them from the floor for the chance of stepping on something that would crunch & crack, alerting the beasts he had escaped from to his current location.''

'''''SNAP'''''

''Firrare paused, standing as still as he possibly could as he strained his ears, where had that noise come from?''

'''''CRUNCH'''''

''Footsteps, but where were they coming from, what was making them, the scanner showed no motion behind or before him. Tentatively Firrare continued moving, sweeping the beam of the torch across the hallway the light exposing the rubble for brief moments before moving to something else, the remaining darkness masking any terrors that could be lurking in the ruined hallway.''

'''''THUMP'''''

''A wet thud sounded from the darkness, and 2 small dots appeared on the scanner, 1 green, 1 red, 1 friendly, 1 enemy, Firrare paused again, the green dot wasn’t moving, but it could just be an injured team-member, they could be still alive, and they would be seeing his dot on their visor, could he really leave them to die, alone, with the knowledge that he could have done something.''

''Another red dot appeared, and another, 3 of those monsters, he could take them down, if he was lucky, and they weren’t trying to lure him into a trap, could he do this, should he do this, would he be able to live with himself.''

''He would have to, Firrare turned to leave, the prototype on his belt feeling heavier than the squad member he had chosen to abandon as the green blip left his scanner, and the sound of crunching bone, and tearing flesh echoed through the corridors behind him.''

Very few Morrallian Deathsworn are willing to enter the old ruins on the surface of their planet, the radiation, chaos taint, warp phenomena and mutated creatures proving too much of a threat for their regular equipment.

It is in such environments that the MOPP troops operate in. Their advanced MOPP gear allowing them a greater level of protection from the hazards that would prove deadly to the regular Deathsworn, while the Pulse Shotguns that they wield are far more suited to the cramped environments that they are forced to navigate.

Unfortunately, even with all of their precautions, MOPP troops have an extremely high attrition rate; their missions are counted as successful if even 1 of them can return with the necessary equipment or information, which has led to MOPP duty being regarded as something of a suicide watch by the regular Deathsworn, with surviving MOPP troopers becoming grim and taciturn as they are isolated from their companions due to the knowledge that they could die at any time. However those that survive beyond their first mission are regarded with awe and any who survive a full tour of duty are immediately promoted to the ranks of the Death-Walkers.
