Editing 97th Conglomerate's Tyrannic War (section)

=== Part 3 - Deliverance ===

“My Lord...” A tall, broad figure in dark red robes approached Chapter Master Vulcanus, or as the title was in the Infernal Guard, ''The Shepherd Of Fire'', from behind as he stood aboard the bridge of the flagship, ''Emperor’s Fire''. “What course of action shall we take?”

He had been watching as the Space Marine fleet dropped out of warp on the unsuspecting Tyranid bioships. How the creatures had not felt the warp presence before they dropped, he did not know. He assumed that their primary psykic bioforms were still planetside, accompanying the final stages of invasion. He stood for a moment, continuing to watch the ships burn before turning to regard the Captain of First Company, Septimus Vedrix. The men both stood at their full height, Lord Vulcanus at 2.6 metres still a bit taller than his Captain.

“Bring the fleet about and set course for Moranis IV.” He paused, turning back to look out the viewport across the bridge. “If we set full burn, plus a couple of pinpoint warp jumps with the help of Master Librarian Decius, we should be there in two or three days time.”

“As you wish, My Lord.” Septimus bowed his head a bit before continuing. “Should we notify the 97th?”

“No.” Vulcanus replied curtly. “We haven’t time to waste.”

The fleet of 5 ships angled and their sublight drives roared deeper towards the system’s sun, praying that they would arrive before it was too late.
