[X] Attack the Atmospherics
 
Yes.

Those were in fact, mutants in powered armour, with energy shields, and disintegration and gravity weapons. And the armour has AI in it.

This really hurts, That's the thing that killed our section, it only needs to hit and since we only have 1 wound a section dies. we need to reallyyyy hope and pray to the dice gods that the gene-patriarchs don't often hit, and Neptune becoming a caste system mutant hell hole makes a twisted kinda of sense

Hopefully if we can get control of the atmospherics and flood the habitat with destroyer weaponary we can avoid giving the Gene Patriarchs the chance to hit any more of our men with whatever it is they're shooting at us.
 
While I don't know about anyone else voting for this…
[X] Attack the Atmospherics
Let's be frank. We're here to get our very shiny medals and our political goodwill among the brass, because the only way we're getting prime lands and deeds on the top shelf worlds we'd want when/if we get through this Crusade is by getting some shit done. Do I think our troops matter? Sure. Do I like them? Yeah. But in a couple centuries, there's not gonna be any use for them. A regiment made for mass destruction needs worlds to burn, and when we run out of worlds to ruin, what will we have to get us and them the retirement we deserve? We need renown, and we need power. As soon as possible.

And hey! If any of them survive, maybe they'll get a piece of the glory. God knows the Revenant Legion doesn't care for it.

I agree with this, it would also be kinda of a waste of the first action we did. saving the space marines squad got us to this point. but I am aware that it could be sunk cost fallacy, so ... still leaning for attacking the atmospherics

Normal humans with advanced tech would have a bad time against all that, to say the least. There would be far too many casualties, each victory would be costly at best and pyrrhic at worst. This kind of shit is something only Space Marines with their armoury can equally match, they are designed to be living tanks after all.

I say attack. This is our chance at proving us to the brass. No reason to hold backml.

I mean, the timeframe of this quest is just gonna be like 25 years, so a couple centuries is kinda beyond the scope. Hell, I'm almost certain that our PC won't matter in a couple centuries as anything other than a footnote.

Anyways still in favor of attacking, it does sound like the most strategically sound option, even if we are kinda fucking over the guys who are going to use that hanger. But hey, we're a French glory hound who's just here for the enoblement.

Pulling back is the right call i think. Our orders were to hold the hanger bay and let the Astartes do their work. While assisting the Astartes in their task will progress our career its not strictly necessary. We should just hold for a bit and wait until reinforcements arrive.

this kinda worries from not following the marines

it is sunk falacy thinking but if we're gonna stay in the hangar we should have done that from the begining, we would have had nothing to defend ourselves from after the fact

Frankly I'm going to stick with falling back. The Astartes isn't in our chain of command. We already pulled their ass out of the fire once when they decided to charge ahead instead of following the battle plan. We're pulling back and consolidating our position as per our orders until we receive countermanding orders through the chain of command.
 
Imperium is favoring "that guy is a dickhead but he gets results" types, just look at primarchs. We'll probably be okay but sticking to chain of command won't be commended.
 
Someone will have to "Attack the Atmospherics" in a narrow station anyway, someone will have losses anyway. Let the losses play in our favor and let the bosses notice us.

I think we do have an excuse, that being that assisting the Astartes still fell within the purview of our orders to hold the Hanger as some "aggressive defense" but going with them to the Atmospherics would be in direct violation of our orders and for what? To satisfy the bloodlust of some Stupid Sexy Vampires who can't wait more than 10 minutes to contain their murder boner for something that isn't really all that time sensitive?

While this will be noted and will have the brass on our case b/c for all the Great Crusade Imperium preaches the value and importance of LOGIC and REASON and rejecting false idols the truth is that they encourage blind obedience to whatever the biggest man in the room tells you what to do, it won't exactly be career ending for us.

That we will have losses, but if we protect the hangar we'll have more units, and more units means more guns to shoot whatever comes at us therefore less losses. And leaving the hangar undefended would make it so any reinforcements that come risk getting ambushed.
 
We did also just eat 20% losses in a single engagement, and our men are in shock. I would be very concerned about our combat effectiveness at the moment, especially as our Rapier Section is going to be busy pumping Phosphex into the ventilation instead of providing fire support.

It will be providing fire support it just won't be able to use the phosphex option as it has to keep the destroyer frags for the ventilation but it still has the normal frag grenades it can use also and with the rapier section this time with us on the attack we will be the ones shooting first so if we do enough damage it should be good.
