Is there any chance at all the agri-world could be cleansed btw?
Yep, plus all planets in the Yerma system are dead worlds meaning that whatever grows on Secundus is probably some form of warp bullshit

I wouldn't be surprised if they eat magic mushrooms*
*Orks
Come to think of it can people eat orkoid mushrooms?
I think flesh eater do, not sure about normal humsns though
They don't say that. Take into account that most Mist Shrikes believe that are sons of Corax.

He partially succeeded his first Willpower save after his corruption, let's not be too hasty in condemning him.

I mean he's just prideful, a bit concerning but nothing to let him die over. He's still young and has the chance to grow into his role in terms of temperament. Skill wise he's fitting already...probably safe to not have him be involved with a lot of Chaos related missions/campaigns regardless.
I mean to be fair ususally the best heroes are the ones who get tempted by Chaos at least once and manage to turn it down
Cleansing of Yerma 5
New
Yerma System, Ditú Subsector, Aetelian Sector 797 M41
Konishi Niwa, soon-to-be Lady Admiral of Battlefleet Aetelian, lounges on the command chair of the Glory of Martyrdom as her crew prepares for battle, although it is less of a battle in her mind and more of a protracted execution. Only an idiot with the intelligence of a Servitor could rise to her rank without learning the basics of her role, and those same basics tell her that the Imperial Task Force cannot lose this battle. With their fleet assets destroyed or captured, the only thing the Eyes of the Mutator can do is delay their own demise and try to cause the greatest amount of damage possible to the Loyalists. Which means that what she should focus on this engagement is in keeping her own ships intact and acquit herself well in the coming fray. While the position of Lady Admiral is all but hers with Adherbal disgraced and Cervera being so kind as to get himself killed early in the campaign, this campaign had several important players involved, and having their favour, or at least their indifference, could smooth over several of the challenges that being at the top of the Navy entailed, specially since she was Boshinese and the Lezoan and Gadiran houses that dominated the upper echelons of Battlefleet Aetelian wouldn't be too pleased with her getting the position instead of their own candidates. The Space Marines from outside the sector and the Guard are inconsequential, and the Navy had too many ties with Forgeword Milan to show the Skitarii from Smilnay anything greater than professional courtesy, but the others have more potential. The new head of the Order of the Thorned Spear could be an in with the greater Ecclesiarchy if she approaches it correctly, and the woman herself appears to be both friendlier and more gullible than her predecessor. The two Inquisitors from the Ordo Malleus could be a great boon if she makes inroads with them, even if she has to study further which one is the more advantageous for her to approach. She is not foolish enough to think that playing off each other can lead up to something else than two wroth Inquisitors and a shallow grave.
But the ones that would be truly beneficial to cozy up to are the Mist Shrikes. For what she understood on the subject most Space Marine Chapters held themselves aloof when it came to Imperial politics, but the most recent arrivals to the Aetelian Sector had proven to be extremely involved in the Sector. Her network of informants had reported multiple meetings with the key players of the Sector during the decades, and she was reasonably sure that the downfall of her Gadiran rival had begun with a message from Luctus given to the Lord Sector, although she couldn't glean more about it before receiving the head of that particular informant alongside of a note politely telling her to keep her nose out of the Lord Sector affairs. Anyhow, it is clear that Chapter Master Severus is going to be a key player in the next centuries, and one that could prove quite useful.
If she proves herself useful to him.
"Admiral, three new signatures detected from out of Primus Orbital Ring!" Reports the officer in charge of the Auspex. Niwa puts her musings on hold as she straightens on her seat. One of the menials forwards her the readings and as she skims over them she lets out a small click of her tongue. The speed of the vessels compared to their tonnage and their straightforward course towards their fleet tells her that they are fireships, although she relaxes minutely when she realizes that the suicidal vessels aren't in a vector of collision with her flagship. Still, she doesn't find it concerning overall. Sure, a group of ships loaded with explosives and on a ramming course can cause devastating damage, but as she watches the first of them miss by a wide margin the Battle Barge of the Angels Crusader, she feels confident in that they won't prove to much of an impediment, so long as they miss or impact only light…
The second flagship collides prow to prow with the Wrath of the Lion, detonating immediately in a flash of light, knocking the bigger vessel of course and positioning so that the third hits it from the underside. The void shields, already flagging from the first impact, fail completely out of the second, the crashing prow and the subsequent explosion removing both the lower hull and the nearby decks, outright gutting the battleship.
Then combat starts in earnest, with both the stations of the Eye of the Mutator and the ships of the different Imperial branches unleashing torpedoes, lances, macrocannons and bombs as fast as they can get their gunnery crews to do so. Niwa soon realizes that there is something off with the enemy munitions as a devastating volley puts down the agonizing Wrath of the Lion. While that ship and the other two that they target, the Willfulness of the same chapter and the Steel Haze of the Mist Shrikes, are already damaged, the strength of the detonations that bring them down are far greater than what they should be. The Orbital Defense Stations are well-armed, but even then they shouldn't have the sheer amount of firepower that they have. The Boshinese Admiral suspects that there is some manner of sorcerous boost increasing the yield of the ordnance, but in the end it is irrelevant. Sure, the enemy guns can hit harder than what they should be able to do, but their witchery can't will more of them into existence, nor remove the ones in their possession. And so, with the full might of the Imperial fleet and having them vastly outgunned, two of the five stations orbiting Yerma Primus die in storms of metal and fire, their remains falling down the planet below in a macabre meteor shower. She is satisfied by how the battle is developing, although she frowns when she sees the Cruiser from the Mechanicus hanging in the back of the formation without doing anything. Between this and their performance in Ertensis, the naval officer is beginning to think that it is perhaps good that Battlefleet Aetelian chose to partner up with their rival Forgeworld.
"Admiral Konishi, we have a series of transports from the Angels Crusader flagship, they are demanding to come aboard." Reports her communications officer.
"Let them onboard." Says Niwa off-handedly. While it annoys her that they make demands of her, she isn't petty enough to deny them permission on that sole basis.
She focuses on the ongoing battle after that, at least until the leader of the Angels Crusader barges onto her bridge unannounced and uninvited, accompanied only by five of his bodyguards. A nervous atmosphere suffuses the bridge as the quaking steps of the marines towering armor make their way towards her. Niwa feels the nerve as much as anyone else present, but she is an Admiral of the Imperial Navy and so she remains composed as she turns to address their guest.
"Welcome aboard, Master de Lusignan. Is there something that I can help you with?" She asks him pleasantly. The Space Marine's lack of a helmet allows Niwa to see the dismissive sneer in his face as she looks down on her.
"Remove yourself Admiral, I am commandeering your fleet."
Niwa blinks and then shares a glance with the officers nearby, to confirm that she hasn't heard incorrectly, before looking back at the Son of the Lion. "Excuse you?"
De Lusignan eyes narrow. "Do not waste my time feigning incomprehension Admiral, you have heard me perfectly." He barks harshly. "My own flagship has been shot down by the traitors, and I have a need for a new flagship from which to command. So I am commandeering this vessel and will take charge of both it and the rest of your forces until the conclusion of the battle, which will be a short time with a far more competent command." He takes a step forward, forcing the small woman to take a step of her own back as he looms over her. "Move."
Niwa hasn't seen danger so closely as she is seeing it now. She has always considered boarding actions to be only fit for Astartes, Xenos or idiots with more brawn than brain, and so endeavored through her career to fight her foes at range. Right now as an Astartes whom she only reaches to his navel is looking down on her with rising annoyance she considers that it would have been helpful to be more used to it. Her blood pounds in her head as her heart pumps quickly in her chest, and it takes more nerve than she knew she possessed to not let her hands shake or drift towards the Kyxa pipe that she had in the inner pocket of her uniform's jacket. Her nerves are screaming at her that she is an inch away from death, and what she has seen of the Space Marine in front of her doesn't tell her of a man accepting or respectful towards refusals.
And yet, with a reservoir of courage she didn't know she possessed, she steadies herself and looks him straight in the eye, cranking her neck upwards to do so. "I will not cede command, Space Marine."
The man's patrician features twist in anger, both at her rejection and at the manner in which she refers to him. "It is a temerity to refuse an officer of the Angels of Death, mortal, and a perilous one to refuse one of the Angels Crusader. Reconsider."
Far for cowing her, the words of the Angel Crusader prompt her to steady herself as she straightens to her full meager height. "What is a temerity is to barge into a vessel that has allowed you entry graciously and demanding to intimidate your way into a command that you are not only unwanted for, but also that you are prohibited to assume. The Adeptus Astartes does not command the Navis Imperialis, and so enacting a tantrum to bluff your way into usurping my role is not only disgraceful but illegal." As the Marines face reddens in a manner that would probably be unhealthy in a regular calm, Niwa internally marvels on how composed her voice sounds. "Now, if you are done posturing, you can use one of the secondary vox arrays here to coordinate your remaining frigates. Otherwise you can remove yourself."
For a moment the Admiral fears that the Space Marine is going to throw caution to the wind and kill her with his bare hands, so fearsome is the thunderous cast of his visage. Then the reality of their situation asserts itself. The Lex Imperialis is on her side, and with the intimidation attempt rebuffed De Lusignan has no way to press the issue without incurring in the wrath of the rest of the forces gathered in the system. And so he stalks away to the secondary vox-console, glaring hatefully at one of his bodyguards when something akin to a restrained chuckle comes out of his helmet.
Niwa herself feels the tension drain away from her body as she does the utmost to take a seat in her command throne without falling limply onto it. The battle carries on, the remaining stations of the Eyes of the Mutator fighting fiercely to the last despite the relentless hammering they are receiving from the Imperial arms. The woman's sense of self-preservation is the only thing that prevents her from laughing aloud as the Master of the Deathwing's expression sours further and further as more of his ships are blown to pieces, with only the damaged wreck of one of his escorts remaining operational. Her own ships, by contrast, do wonderfully, taking advantage of overlapping fields of fire and the presence of allied elements to inflict the damage needed to destroy the stations once and for all.
As the battle concludes and De Lusignan and his bodyguards stomp their way out of her bridge, Niwa smiles, both at the performance of her battlegroup in the fray and at seeing the man vacate her sight.
It is good that the Mist Shrikes are the wardens of the Aetelian Sector instead of the Angels Crusader. Chapter Master Severus is much more dignified for one.
—-------
After the defenses that protect Yerma Primus have been cracked open, a new strategy meeting is arranged to coordinate the invasion of the planet. This time the meeting takes place in the Fear of Judgement once more, which the Angels Crusader do not contest seeing as they do not have a flagship anymore.
"What we know of Yerma Primus is this." You begin briefing the gathered officers as the hololith projects a three dimensional map of the world. "While the population is lesser than that of Yerma Secundus, it is still substantial enough to have four cities." You point at the northernmost location. "Dongying is the closest thing that could be considered a capital for the Warband, with their main fortress located a mere five kilometers away, close enough to quickly reinforce one another if only one of them comes into attack. Our outdated intel pointed as the city being the main training center of those elite cultist that we have seen in small number in Yerma Tertius, while the fortress is not only the main place of residence of "Jiaomo of the Bloody Tear."" You say the Chaos Lord sobriquet with all the derision your tongue can muster. "But also where he garrisons the elite of the warband, a small number of which you have already faced in the Sorcerer's Tower." You nod your head in appreciation to those present in that assault, even if Lusignan doesn't react to it and Palatine Lynch looks disgusted by it.
"Excuse me Chapter Master." Interjects Irrin Defer, the young captain of the 7th Company of the Angels Revenant. "If the intel is outdated, why haven't further efforts been made to update it?" There is a questioning tilt to his voice that you do not care for, but the inquiry is reasonable and he has framed it with politeness, so you put that aside.
"To clarify, you are asking why haven't we enacted interrogations, gathered documents or made use of the omophagea to extract up to date information?" You ask him back, to which he nods, his dark dreadlocks shaking gently. "Concerns of spiritual purity. The God the Eyes of the Mutator follow is one of deceit and trickery, and with that in mind the reliability of any document that they have stored is suspect, without going further into protective measures such as hidden sigils with unknown effects, ink that could enthrall the reader or other manners of protections that we have encountered before. As for the Omophagea, are you willing to risk eating brain matter as twisted and mutated as that of a Chaos Space Marine?"
"Good point." Acquiesces the younger son of Guilliman. "Please continue."
You do so. "To the east are the city of Guyang and a place called the Ninefold Forge, both of them forming the industrial base of the Eyes of the Mutator. Contrary to what was initially suspected, the ones in charge of the latter are not the Chaos Space Marine, but a contingent of the Dark Mechanicum." The Master of Skitarii from Smilnay, who had been listening dispassionately beforehand, lets out a string of Binary when you mention them, and despite your ignorance of the language you suspect that what he's saying is not fit for polite company. "In the opposite direction lies Naguang, where a great temple of Tzeentch has been erected, almost another fortress unto itself."
The gazes of the Sisters and Inquisitor Clerici sharpen as they gaze upon its representation, but it is Inquisitor Bereket who voices a question. "It is strange that such a place has been erected away from the main center of influence of the Warband. Do we know if there is some reason for this, reasonable or insane?"
"None that we are aware of, but with the foe we are facing it could go either way." Between the mask and the heavy clothes, Inquisitor Bereket shows no reaction that you can discern, with both the beating of her heart and her scent disguised by the hum of her equipment and an overpowering smell of chemicals, at least to an Astartes nose. You push through with the debriefing, hoping to finish it before anyone else decides to ask more questions. "Lastly, we have the city of Zenwei to the south and the Orbital Ring over the planet that the Eyes of the Mutator use to assemble and repair their shipyards. Now, Champion Yeretai, while I know that we've asked this of you before, I must do so again. Have you heard anything from your captors that might be of use strategically?"
The sole member of the White Scars present strokes his chin, now sporting a growing white mustache, as he recalls decades of imprisonment and torture. The son of Jaghatai had made a speedy recovery since he was rescued, astonishing the Apothecaries, and while still troubled somewhat by the crippling tortures that his erstwhile brothers had enacted upon him, he had declared himself both fit from combat and eager to avenge himself upon them. He now presents a figure fitting of a Champion from an old Legion, even if the Mk.VIII armor he wears had been a loan from the 3rd Command Squad Veteran that had perished in the crash of the Bird of Prey, and the Iron Halo and Bolt Pistol he bears had been a gift from the Blazing Wardens. The armor had been painted in the white of the Vth Legion, with small stripes of carefully written calligraphy hanging in a manner akin to purity seals.
"Much did they taunt me while in the dark." Replies Yeretai eventually. "Boasting of the greatness of their foul deeds and the might of their champions, but their bragging carried little in facts and descriptions of their locations. What little I can add is that their foul lord is accompanied by a guard, of greater numbers that one that bears themselves with honour and that the main custodian of the Temple of the Ninety-Nine altars is a warrior of great skill in close combat."
"Nevertheless, thank you for your contribution." He bows slightly at your thanks. There is a moment of contemplation as everyone goes over the information, which eventually ends once General Mörner pulls a cigar from her coat and lights it.
"I suggest that we take it slow." His proposal is accompanied by a stream of smoke as he takes a drag of the cigar. "Get out of the way the cities first and secure them before we get into the more fortified areas."
"A wasteful proposal of unacceptable meekness." Argues De Lusignan dismissively. "We should do as we did in Tertius and overwhelm them with our full strength! Taking time only gives them time to prepare!"
Mörner spits on the ground. "This ain't Tertius, Space Marine. You and your brothers might be okay in those oversized armors of yours when geysers of warpfire burst out of the floor and the walls grow spikes, but the soldiers under my command don't have those, and I'm not going to feed them into a meat grinder just because you are in a hurry."
"The inadequacies of your troops are of no concern to me." Replies De Lusignan coldly. "They will do as needed or die so that someone who can do so will."
"You might believe in miracles from the Emperor, Lusignan, but strategies are determined with facts." Interjects Captain Danai of the Blazing Wardens with a voice colder than the void. "Splitting our forces piecemeal like you intend will see us overwhelmed in a matter of hours. We must choose somewhere to make a beachhead from which to take the rest of the planet."
"The hereteks cannot be allowed to blaspheme against the Omnissiah's works." Declares Samuel Omicron-Epsilon 329, the synthesized voice of Master of Skitarii preempting a scathing contestation from the Master of the Angels Crusader Deathwing. "Their mockery of a Forge and the Orbital Ring are targets of absolute priority."
"Apologies, Skitarii, but I must disagree." The Palatine glares towards the back of Ríona's head indicates that she doesn't agree with how her superior has expressed her objection. "The temple of the Eyes of the Mutator false god must be toppled first. Steel and Iron are a threat, but not more so than what imperils the God-Emperor's hold upon the soul."
While you doubt that was her intention, you've dealt with enough Mechanicus Priests to know that Samuel Omicron-Epsilon will take that dismissal of the machine as an insult, and so you ready in your head your own proposal before the situation degenerates, fully aware that you are going to expend the next hours arguing, cajoling, persuading and compromising before you attain a satisfying conclusion.
Choose how to distribute the available forces for your landing on Yerma Primus (If you wish to leave a location for later, do not assign any forces to it.):
-[] The Orbital Ring: The megastructure where the Eyes of the Mutator ships are built. While the possibility of them having functional ships that they haven't used against you is nil, the area is undoubtedly heavily automated.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Shifting Fortress: The main fortress of the Eyes of the Mutator on the planet and the closest thing they have to a Fortress-Monastery. Not only it is expected that Chaos Lord Jiaomo will be there, but that he will be commanding both the heaviest defences and the elite of the Warband
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars: A temple the treacherous sons of the Vth had built in honour to their foul god. With the Sorcerer's Tower destroyed, it is also the only place remaining from where the Heretics can enact their rituals with a modicum of success.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Ninefold Forge: Contrary to initial observations, further reconnaissance has revealed that the industrial complex on site is not manned by the Chaos Marine, but by a detachment of Dark Mechanicum from…somewhere. Attackers on these locations can expect both daemon engines and other kinds of heavy armor.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Dongying: The northern city on the planet, it is also the nearest city to the shifting fortress. As such, we have intel that locates the training grounds of the Watchers of Yerma, the Warband's mortal elite, there.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Guiyang: The eastern city and the one closest to the Ninefold Forge. Most of the armor that is produced in the Dark Mechanicus enclave goes there before being redistributed elsewhere and the city holds many manofactoriums from the cultist armies of the Mutator.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Naguang: The western city, located at the foot of the Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars. Whether due to the influence of the Changer or the cast-off of some ritual, the location is filled to the brim with mutants and Chaos Spawns.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Zenwhei: The southern city, and a location that is far more out of the way than the other urban centers on the planet. It is a tertiary target, but a daring recon flight from one of the Navy's Valkyries has revealed that a force of Eyes of the Mutator and Dark Mechanicum are moving towards it.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
Choose how you want to organize the landing of forces. Take into account the number of gunships:
-[] Simultaneous: Land all forces available in the first wave.
-[] Heavy Assets first: Assets such as Terminator armor, Heavy armor and Mechanized Infantry land first, followed by the rest of forces.
-[] Scouting Elements and Saboteurs first: Assets such as Veteran Scouts and Light Infantry land first, followed by the rest of forces.
-[] Equal Waves: Waves upon landing follow a well-balanced compositions
Q.M Notes: A bit of a shorter, transitional update this time. I'm going to leave an 8 hours moratorium for you to discuss and vote. As always, feel free to point out any mistakes you might see. Have a nice day.

Konishi Niwa, soon-to-be Lady Admiral of Battlefleet Aetelian, lounges on the command chair of the Glory of Martyrdom as her crew prepares for battle, although it is less of a battle in her mind and more of a protracted execution. Only an idiot with the intelligence of a Servitor could rise to her rank without learning the basics of her role, and those same basics tell her that the Imperial Task Force cannot lose this battle. With their fleet assets destroyed or captured, the only thing the Eyes of the Mutator can do is delay their own demise and try to cause the greatest amount of damage possible to the Loyalists. Which means that what she should focus on this engagement is in keeping her own ships intact and acquit herself well in the coming fray. While the position of Lady Admiral is all but hers with Adherbal disgraced and Cervera being so kind as to get himself killed early in the campaign, this campaign had several important players involved, and having their favour, or at least their indifference, could smooth over several of the challenges that being at the top of the Navy entailed, specially since she was Boshinese and the Lezoan and Gadiran houses that dominated the upper echelons of Battlefleet Aetelian wouldn't be too pleased with her getting the position instead of their own candidates. The Space Marines from outside the sector and the Guard are inconsequential, and the Navy had too many ties with Forgeword Milan to show the Skitarii from Smilnay anything greater than professional courtesy, but the others have more potential. The new head of the Order of the Thorned Spear could be an in with the greater Ecclesiarchy if she approaches it correctly, and the woman herself appears to be both friendlier and more gullible than her predecessor. The two Inquisitors from the Ordo Malleus could be a great boon if she makes inroads with them, even if she has to study further which one is the more advantageous for her to approach. She is not foolish enough to think that playing off each other can lead up to something else than two wroth Inquisitors and a shallow grave.
But the ones that would be truly beneficial to cozy up to are the Mist Shrikes. For what she understood on the subject most Space Marine Chapters held themselves aloof when it came to Imperial politics, but the most recent arrivals to the Aetelian Sector had proven to be extremely involved in the Sector. Her network of informants had reported multiple meetings with the key players of the Sector during the decades, and she was reasonably sure that the downfall of her Gadiran rival had begun with a message from Luctus given to the Lord Sector, although she couldn't glean more about it before receiving the head of that particular informant alongside of a note politely telling her to keep her nose out of the Lord Sector affairs. Anyhow, it is clear that Chapter Master Severus is going to be a key player in the next centuries, and one that could prove quite useful.
If she proves herself useful to him.
"Admiral, three new signatures detected from out of Primus Orbital Ring!" Reports the officer in charge of the Auspex. Niwa puts her musings on hold as she straightens on her seat. One of the menials forwards her the readings and as she skims over them she lets out a small click of her tongue. The speed of the vessels compared to their tonnage and their straightforward course towards their fleet tells her that they are fireships, although she relaxes minutely when she realizes that the suicidal vessels aren't in a vector of collision with her flagship. Still, she doesn't find it concerning overall. Sure, a group of ships loaded with explosives and on a ramming course can cause devastating damage, but as she watches the first of them miss by a wide margin the Battle Barge of the Angels Crusader, she feels confident in that they won't prove to much of an impediment, so long as they miss or impact only light…
The second flagship collides prow to prow with the Wrath of the Lion, detonating immediately in a flash of light, knocking the bigger vessel of course and positioning so that the third hits it from the underside. The void shields, already flagging from the first impact, fail completely out of the second, the crashing prow and the subsequent explosion removing both the lower hull and the nearby decks, outright gutting the battleship.
Then combat starts in earnest, with both the stations of the Eye of the Mutator and the ships of the different Imperial branches unleashing torpedoes, lances, macrocannons and bombs as fast as they can get their gunnery crews to do so. Niwa soon realizes that there is something off with the enemy munitions as a devastating volley puts down the agonizing Wrath of the Lion. While that ship and the other two that they target, the Willfulness of the same chapter and the Steel Haze of the Mist Shrikes, are already damaged, the strength of the detonations that bring them down are far greater than what they should be. The Orbital Defense Stations are well-armed, but even then they shouldn't have the sheer amount of firepower that they have. The Boshinese Admiral suspects that there is some manner of sorcerous boost increasing the yield of the ordnance, but in the end it is irrelevant. Sure, the enemy guns can hit harder than what they should be able to do, but their witchery can't will more of them into existence, nor remove the ones in their possession. And so, with the full might of the Imperial fleet and having them vastly outgunned, two of the five stations orbiting Yerma Primus die in storms of metal and fire, their remains falling down the planet below in a macabre meteor shower. She is satisfied by how the battle is developing, although she frowns when she sees the Cruiser from the Mechanicus hanging in the back of the formation without doing anything. Between this and their performance in Ertensis, the naval officer is beginning to think that it is perhaps good that Battlefleet Aetelian chose to partner up with their rival Forgeworld.
"Admiral Konishi, we have a series of transports from the Angels Crusader flagship, they are demanding to come aboard." Reports her communications officer.
"Let them onboard." Says Niwa off-handedly. While it annoys her that they make demands of her, she isn't petty enough to deny them permission on that sole basis.

She focuses on the ongoing battle after that, at least until the leader of the Angels Crusader barges onto her bridge unannounced and uninvited, accompanied only by five of his bodyguards. A nervous atmosphere suffuses the bridge as the quaking steps of the marines towering armor make their way towards her. Niwa feels the nerve as much as anyone else present, but she is an Admiral of the Imperial Navy and so she remains composed as she turns to address their guest.
"Welcome aboard, Master de Lusignan. Is there something that I can help you with?" She asks him pleasantly. The Space Marine's lack of a helmet allows Niwa to see the dismissive sneer in his face as she looks down on her.
"Remove yourself Admiral, I am commandeering your fleet."
Niwa blinks and then shares a glance with the officers nearby, to confirm that she hasn't heard incorrectly, before looking back at the Son of the Lion. "Excuse you?"
De Lusignan eyes narrow. "Do not waste my time feigning incomprehension Admiral, you have heard me perfectly." He barks harshly. "My own flagship has been shot down by the traitors, and I have a need for a new flagship from which to command. So I am commandeering this vessel and will take charge of both it and the rest of your forces until the conclusion of the battle, which will be a short time with a far more competent command." He takes a step forward, forcing the small woman to take a step of her own back as he looms over her. "Move."
Niwa hasn't seen danger so closely as she is seeing it now. She has always considered boarding actions to be only fit for Astartes, Xenos or idiots with more brawn than brain, and so endeavored through her career to fight her foes at range. Right now as an Astartes whom she only reaches to his navel is looking down on her with rising annoyance she considers that it would have been helpful to be more used to it. Her blood pounds in her head as her heart pumps quickly in her chest, and it takes more nerve than she knew she possessed to not let her hands shake or drift towards the Kyxa pipe that she had in the inner pocket of her uniform's jacket. Her nerves are screaming at her that she is an inch away from death, and what she has seen of the Space Marine in front of her doesn't tell her of a man accepting or respectful towards refusals.
And yet, with a reservoir of courage she didn't know she possessed, she steadies herself and looks him straight in the eye, cranking her neck upwards to do so. "I will not cede command, Space Marine."
The man's patrician features twist in anger, both at her rejection and at the manner in which she refers to him. "It is a temerity to refuse an officer of the Angels of Death, mortal, and a perilous one to refuse one of the Angels Crusader. Reconsider."
Far for cowing her, the words of the Angel Crusader prompt her to steady herself as she straightens to her full meager height. "What is a temerity is to barge into a vessel that has allowed you entry graciously and demanding to intimidate your way into a command that you are not only unwanted for, but also that you are prohibited to assume. The Adeptus Astartes does not command the Navis Imperialis, and so enacting a tantrum to bluff your way into usurping my role is not only disgraceful but illegal." As the Marines face reddens in a manner that would probably be unhealthy in a regular calm, Niwa internally marvels on how composed her voice sounds. "Now, if you are done posturing, you can use one of the secondary vox arrays here to coordinate your remaining frigates. Otherwise you can remove yourself."
For a moment the Admiral fears that the Space Marine is going to throw caution to the wind and kill her with his bare hands, so fearsome is the thunderous cast of his visage. Then the reality of their situation asserts itself. The Lex Imperialis is on her side, and with the intimidation attempt rebuffed De Lusignan has no way to press the issue without incurring in the wrath of the rest of the forces gathered in the system. And so he stalks away to the secondary vox-console, glaring hatefully at one of his bodyguards when something akin to a restrained chuckle comes out of his helmet.
Niwa herself feels the tension drain away from her body as she does the utmost to take a seat in her command throne without falling limply onto it. The battle carries on, the remaining stations of the Eyes of the Mutator fighting fiercely to the last despite the relentless hammering they are receiving from the Imperial arms. The woman's sense of self-preservation is the only thing that prevents her from laughing aloud as the Master of the Deathwing's expression sours further and further as more of his ships are blown to pieces, with only the damaged wreck of one of his escorts remaining operational. Her own ships, by contrast, do wonderfully, taking advantage of overlapping fields of fire and the presence of allied elements to inflict the damage needed to destroy the stations once and for all.
As the battle concludes and De Lusignan and his bodyguards stomp their way out of her bridge, Niwa smiles, both at the performance of her battlegroup in the fray and at seeing the man vacate her sight.
It is good that the Mist Shrikes are the wardens of the Aetelian Sector instead of the Angels Crusader. Chapter Master Severus is much more dignified for one.
—-------
After the defenses that protect Yerma Primus have been cracked open, a new strategy meeting is arranged to coordinate the invasion of the planet. This time the meeting takes place in the Fear of Judgement once more, which the Angels Crusader do not contest seeing as they do not have a flagship anymore.
"What we know of Yerma Primus is this." You begin briefing the gathered officers as the hololith projects a three dimensional map of the world. "While the population is lesser than that of Yerma Secundus, it is still substantial enough to have four cities." You point at the northernmost location. "Dongying is the closest thing that could be considered a capital for the Warband, with their main fortress located a mere five kilometers away, close enough to quickly reinforce one another if only one of them comes into attack. Our outdated intel pointed as the city being the main training center of those elite cultist that we have seen in small number in Yerma Tertius, while the fortress is not only the main place of residence of "Jiaomo of the Bloody Tear."" You say the Chaos Lord sobriquet with all the derision your tongue can muster. "But also where he garrisons the elite of the warband, a small number of which you have already faced in the Sorcerer's Tower." You nod your head in appreciation to those present in that assault, even if Lusignan doesn't react to it and Palatine Lynch looks disgusted by it.
"Excuse me Chapter Master." Interjects Irrin Defer, the young captain of the 7th Company of the Angels Revenant. "If the intel is outdated, why haven't further efforts been made to update it?" There is a questioning tilt to his voice that you do not care for, but the inquiry is reasonable and he has framed it with politeness, so you put that aside.
"To clarify, you are asking why haven't we enacted interrogations, gathered documents or made use of the omophagea to extract up to date information?" You ask him back, to which he nods, his dark dreadlocks shaking gently. "Concerns of spiritual purity. The God the Eyes of the Mutator follow is one of deceit and trickery, and with that in mind the reliability of any document that they have stored is suspect, without going further into protective measures such as hidden sigils with unknown effects, ink that could enthrall the reader or other manners of protections that we have encountered before. As for the Omophagea, are you willing to risk eating brain matter as twisted and mutated as that of a Chaos Space Marine?"
"Good point." Acquiesces the younger son of Guilliman. "Please continue."
You do so. "To the east are the city of Guyang and a place called the Ninefold Forge, both of them forming the industrial base of the Eyes of the Mutator. Contrary to what was initially suspected, the ones in charge of the latter are not the Chaos Space Marine, but a contingent of the Dark Mechanicum." The Master of Skitarii from Smilnay, who had been listening dispassionately beforehand, lets out a string of Binary when you mention them, and despite your ignorance of the language you suspect that what he's saying is not fit for polite company. "In the opposite direction lies Naguang, where a great temple of Tzeentch has been erected, almost another fortress unto itself."
The gazes of the Sisters and Inquisitor Clerici sharpen as they gaze upon its representation, but it is Inquisitor Bereket who voices a question. "It is strange that such a place has been erected away from the main center of influence of the Warband. Do we know if there is some reason for this, reasonable or insane?"
"None that we are aware of, but with the foe we are facing it could go either way." Between the mask and the heavy clothes, Inquisitor Bereket shows no reaction that you can discern, with both the beating of her heart and her scent disguised by the hum of her equipment and an overpowering smell of chemicals, at least to an Astartes nose. You push through with the debriefing, hoping to finish it before anyone else decides to ask more questions. "Lastly, we have the city of Zenwei to the south and the Orbital Ring over the planet that the Eyes of the Mutator use to assemble and repair their shipyards. Now, Champion Yeretai, while I know that we've asked this of you before, I must do so again. Have you heard anything from your captors that might be of use strategically?"
The sole member of the White Scars present strokes his chin, now sporting a growing white mustache, as he recalls decades of imprisonment and torture. The son of Jaghatai had made a speedy recovery since he was rescued, astonishing the Apothecaries, and while still troubled somewhat by the crippling tortures that his erstwhile brothers had enacted upon him, he had declared himself both fit from combat and eager to avenge himself upon them. He now presents a figure fitting of a Champion from an old Legion, even if the Mk.VIII armor he wears had been a loan from the 3rd Command Squad Veteran that had perished in the crash of the Bird of Prey, and the Iron Halo and Bolt Pistol he bears had been a gift from the Blazing Wardens. The armor had been painted in the white of the Vth Legion, with small stripes of carefully written calligraphy hanging in a manner akin to purity seals.
"Much did they taunt me while in the dark." Replies Yeretai eventually. "Boasting of the greatness of their foul deeds and the might of their champions, but their bragging carried little in facts and descriptions of their locations. What little I can add is that their foul lord is accompanied by a guard, of greater numbers that one that bears themselves with honour and that the main custodian of the Temple of the Ninety-Nine altars is a warrior of great skill in close combat."
"Nevertheless, thank you for your contribution." He bows slightly at your thanks. There is a moment of contemplation as everyone goes over the information, which eventually ends once General Mörner pulls a cigar from her coat and lights it.
"I suggest that we take it slow." His proposal is accompanied by a stream of smoke as he takes a drag of the cigar. "Get out of the way the cities first and secure them before we get into the more fortified areas."
"A wasteful proposal of unacceptable meekness." Argues De Lusignan dismissively. "We should do as we did in Tertius and overwhelm them with our full strength! Taking time only gives them time to prepare!"
Mörner spits on the ground. "This ain't Tertius, Space Marine. You and your brothers might be okay in those oversized armors of yours when geysers of warpfire burst out of the floor and the walls grow spikes, but the soldiers under my command don't have those, and I'm not going to feed them into a meat grinder just because you are in a hurry."
"The inadequacies of your troops are of no concern to me." Replies De Lusignan coldly. "They will do as needed or die so that someone who can do so will."
"You might believe in miracles from the Emperor, Lusignan, but strategies are determined with facts." Interjects Captain Danai of the Blazing Wardens with a voice colder than the void. "Splitting our forces piecemeal like you intend will see us overwhelmed in a matter of hours. We must choose somewhere to make a beachhead from which to take the rest of the planet."
"The hereteks cannot be allowed to blaspheme against the Omnissiah's works." Declares Samuel Omicron-Epsilon 329, the synthesized voice of Master of Skitarii preempting a scathing contestation from the Master of the Angels Crusader Deathwing. "Their mockery of a Forge and the Orbital Ring are targets of absolute priority."
"Apologies, Skitarii, but I must disagree." The Palatine glares towards the back of Ríona's head indicates that she doesn't agree with how her superior has expressed her objection. "The temple of the Eyes of the Mutator false god must be toppled first. Steel and Iron are a threat, but not more so than what imperils the God-Emperor's hold upon the soul."
While you doubt that was her intention, you've dealt with enough Mechanicus Priests to know that Samuel Omicron-Epsilon will take that dismissal of the machine as an insult, and so you ready in your head your own proposal before the situation degenerates, fully aware that you are going to expend the next hours arguing, cajoling, persuading and compromising before you attain a satisfying conclusion.

-Angels Crusader demand attacking all locations with simultaneous landings. In case not all locations are attacked, they prioritize the Shifting Fortress, the Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars and the Orbital Ring. Want detachments in all locations that aren't the cities, and De Lusignan demands to be in command of the assault of the Shifting Fortress.
-Blazing Wardens would prefer to start with the Orbital Ring, the Shifting Fortress, and the city of Dongying, with a landing in waves with equal forces. Don't care about force allocation, but if they are in a deployment with the Angels Crusader, they don't want De Lusignan in charge of any of the deployments.
-Angels Revenant want to land first in the Orbital Ring, the Ninefold Forge and the city of Guiyang, they do not care about the wave allocation, but they want to take command of at least one deployment.
-Imperial Guard command wants to secure the cities first, with landings in waves with scouting elements. Don't care about force allocation.
-Forgeworld Smilnay wants to attack the Orbital Ring and the Ninefold Forge with a landing in waves with heavy assets. Want detachments and would like if no other force was assigned to their targets.
-Order of the Thorned would prefer an assault on the Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars and the city of Naguang, don't care about the manner of the landing. If those locations are attacked, they want a force present.
-Ordo Malleus wants an attack on the Shifting Fortress and the Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars, with landings in waves with equal distribution. Demand a detachment on those locations.

Choose how to distribute the available forces for your landing on Yerma Primus (If you wish to leave a location for later, do not assign any forces to it.):
-[] The Orbital Ring: The megastructure where the Eyes of the Mutator ships are built. While the possibility of them having functional ships that they haven't used against you is nil, the area is undoubtedly heavily automated.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Shifting Fortress: The main fortress of the Eyes of the Mutator on the planet and the closest thing they have to a Fortress-Monastery. Not only it is expected that Chaos Lord Jiaomo will be there, but that he will be commanding both the heaviest defences and the elite of the Warband
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars: A temple the treacherous sons of the Vth had built in honour to their foul god. With the Sorcerer's Tower destroyed, it is also the only place remaining from where the Heretics can enact their rituals with a modicum of success.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] The Ninefold Forge: Contrary to initial observations, further reconnaissance has revealed that the industrial complex on site is not manned by the Chaos Marine, but by a detachment of Dark Mechanicum from…somewhere. Attackers on these locations can expect both daemon engines and other kinds of heavy armor.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Dongying: The northern city on the planet, it is also the nearest city to the shifting fortress. As such, we have intel that locates the training grounds of the Watchers of Yerma, the Warband's mortal elite, there.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Guiyang: The eastern city and the one closest to the Ninefold Forge. Most of the armor that is produced in the Dark Mechanicus enclave goes there before being redistributed elsewhere and the city holds many manofactoriums from the cultist armies of the Mutator.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Naguang: The western city, located at the foot of the Temple of the Ninety-Nine Altars. Whether due to the influence of the Changer or the cast-off of some ritual, the location is filled to the brim with mutants and Chaos Spawns.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Zenwhei: The southern city, and a location that is far more out of the way than the other urban centers on the planet. It is a tertiary target, but a daring recon flight from one of the Navy's Valkyries has revealed that a force of Eyes of the Mutator and Dark Mechanicum are moving towards it.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
Choose how you want to organize the landing of forces. Take into account the number of gunships:
-[] Simultaneous: Land all forces available in the first wave.
-[] Heavy Assets first: Assets such as Terminator armor, Heavy armor and Mechanized Infantry land first, followed by the rest of forces.
-[] Scouting Elements and Saboteurs first: Assets such as Veteran Scouts and Light Infantry land first, followed by the rest of forces.
-[] Equal Waves: Waves upon landing follow a well-balanced compositions
Q.M Notes: A bit of a shorter, transitional update this time. I'm going to leave an 8 hours moratorium for you to discuss and vote. As always, feel free to point out any mistakes you might see. Have a nice day.

I say we take out the ring and secure zenwhei as a beachhead.
agreed and if we can try to attack ether the ninefold forge or The Temple of the ninty nine alters, or maybe also try to take Guiyang
