Chapter 541 The Surprise Appearance of Alpha
After entering this cabin, the two Mechanic Priests immediately entered working mode.
Dietrian walked to the operating table first, and eight dead servitors were scattered on the table and turned into the shape of skeletons and bionic bodies.
Loken then also stood at the console, his fingers making a clicking sound on the control panel.
"Plasma exhausted."
Dietrian's voice came from his mask.
“Plasma has been lost for hundreds of years, yes, yes.”
“Can it be restored?”
Soshiyan—an in-between narrative and the voice between whispers asked.
Dietrian's metal claws tapped the keyboard and joystick, and then shook his head.
"I can't, most of the ship is inanimate, but can send a small amount of power from one part to another, yes, but can't restore all power to all areas."
So Shi Yang was not very disappointed with this.
"Then do it."
"As you command."
Dietrian said, and began to divert what little electricity was left in the ship's pipes, forcing it in The area designated by Soshyan was mainly the bridge densely covered with gates, where he hoped to find something valuable.
As long as they can recover part of it, they can evacuate the hulk and completely destroy it with light spears from a distance.
Such a plan will have the least casualties and the greatest rewards.
Thinking about this, Soshiyang suddenly remembered another thing.
"What ship is this?"
Faced with this question, Dietrian turned his visor towards the ceiling seeking direction or verification from any loyalists.
But
the answer came from another person.
Less than ten seconds after Soshyan asked this question, Mark discovered a corpse. It was wearing light blue armor and lying on an elevated platform above the floor of the mechanical equipment, torn apart by the alien's claws. It was broken into pieces, and the emblem of a Hydra on the breastplate clearly showed his identity.
"Twenty Legion, Alpha."
Soshyan hissed the cursed name and recoiled in disgust.
At this time, Loken also found some useful information from the little data left.
"This is a cruiser of unknown type, named Stone Heart, from the 20th Legion. The last sailing date is the 33rd millennium!"
If you want Speaking of the most mysterious power of the Astartes in existence, there is no doubt that the twenty legions that were finally formed were shrouded in mystery from the beginning.
There are many special characteristics of its legion. The most famous rumor is that the Alpha Legion has two primarchs, the twin primarchs.
Additionally, almost all records of the Legion have disappeared from Imperial archives since the Great Crusade, and even during their time fighting for the Emperor, very little is recorded of them.
The only eyewitness reports claim that, although these warriors are Space Marines, they do not have heraldry and sometimes even fight under the crest of another Legion.
The actions they took were almost unanimous, including assassinations, espionage, secret sabotage and incitement, and even kidnapping important enemy figures.
This is almost incomprehensible to the Astartes who value glory more than life. Therefore, the Alpha Legion also has a very bad reputation among friendly forces. Some people believe that it is due to the concept of other legions. The conflict caused the Alpha Legion to fall to the rebel side after the Horus Heresy.
But some people think that this reason is too simple and cannot truly describe the true source of the rebellion of this mysterious legion under the fog. In any case, this mysterious legion eventually became the enemy of the Emperor. During the war, the two primarchs were killed by Guilliman, the primarch of the Ultramarines, and Dorn, the primarch of the Imperial Fists. The legion was also torn into pieces and became countless fragments. of warbands.
But Soshyan was surprised to see the Alpha Legion soldiers here, even if they were dead.
And the information Loken obtained does not stop there.
"...Wait a minute, there is another report here. The damage is a bit serious. I, Kangkang, am a dimensional blacksmith? What is that? No matter, a dimensional blacksmith seems to have stored something in the data room. "
Hearing the word Dimensional Blacksmith, Soshyan was moved in his heart. Savita once gave him some common knowledge about Chaos Space Marines, so he knew that this was the name of some heretical technical sergeants.
So he immediately judged that it might be the most valuable thing on the ship.
"Dietrian, adjust the power supply, change the target, let's go to the data room."
The order was issued and executed very quickly. Dietrian quickly used the remaining power to activate The hatch to the data room was opened, reducing the time they spent breaking through the door and taking detours.
Before leaving the power room, Soshyan checked the time——
00.14.36
Not too long had passed since they landed on the hulk.
When they stepped into the dark passage again, the thick darkness shrouded the decaying bulkhead like a demonstration.
The crunch of twisted metal echoed with the hiss of an old exhaust and the sound of certain footsteps.
Soon, harsh sounds broke the darkness and silence that had lasted for hundreds of years: the footsteps made by heavy metal boots and the star-like bright light emitted by the power armor.
The huge figures walked through the abandoned space hulk with clear purpose. They were giants, nearly three meters tall when wearing armor. Each set of armor was a precious handicraft. These powered armors were from the Empire. The heaviest personal equipment, composed of several layers of titanium and ceramic steel, can withstand the most vicious attacks.
Whether it's the cold vacuum of space or the boiling depths of a volcano, the Terminators are always the Adeptus Astartes' deadliest warriors, fighting to win.
"Report every five minutes."
Due to the narrow passage, the two teams can only move along two adjacent passages. Although they are only a few meters apart, they are still in the same position. divided state.
Because of this, the small talk between the teams completely disappeared after the operation started.
Everyone focuses on the task.
Everyone received the mission information: after heading to the data room to recover something valuable, they would quickly evacuate and then destroy the hulk.
If the enemy is able to board the lifeboat and escape the space hulk, the alien infection will spread to other ships and distant worlds, which is not allowed to happen.
Led by the dazzling light from their armor, the Space Marines approached the winding passage in single file.
The tactical fearless armor filled the narrow corridor. The huge shoulder armor occasionally scratched the metal wall. The silver-gray armor flashed under the light, declaring fearlessness and determination.
In the center of the team are the two most vulnerable mortal bodies.
The Terminator stalked forward, surrounded by the roar of power servos and the gasp of fiber bundles.
At the front of the queue, Soshyan's helmet-mounted display indicated that the maze of corridors ahead was abandoned.
He adjusted the viewing distance to three hundred meters away, and a green stain suddenly appeared at the extreme distance of the shimmering automatic sensor image.
He held his breath and waited for a few seconds, but the image did not move at all.
The enemy remains stationary.
"Prepare to attack."
He said as he pressed the activation button of the power sword.
