329 Venture Into 40k Again

Finishing my minor errands for the Imperium I soon stepped out onto the bridge of The Dark Justiciar. The bridge looked like something out of Star Trek but more sleek and well-designed. Holograms and other types of displays were spread throughout the room, different sections being mainly diverted through one prime display; the necessity for more than one manager per department being completely erased due to Justiciara. The other ships had the same design features as my own but much less sophisticated and automated, the AIs requiring human over-sight to complete many of the integral functions of the spacecraft.

I was impressed and more than a little bit happy at the state that I had arrived at and that my Imperium had within the little time I had taken away from Warhammer. Not only had we gone from only several hundred ships to thousands, but we had formed alliances and treaties with various factions from different multiverses. I was looking to expand the alliance making within Warhammer 40k but I kind of already knew that the Emperor would not like my new AI force... The Eldari were a possibility but that was a big if and would most likely require the Light Elves to bridge the gap between Humans and the Eldar. I had hopes for future alliance but at this moment it was all a pipe dream.

"Mistress. We are prepared to venture into Warhammer now. We have acquisitioned space-force personnel for all of our vessels and have even added some members from the Navy, we are currently at full staff power for our fleet." Pressure started to build in my mind as i considered whether i would be willing to possibly sacrifice people once again. This continued for several moments until I took a deep and long blink, nodding soon after.

"Good! Are my personal guard on the Justiciar?"

"Yes Mistress, they said that they would accept no answer other than yes to their request to join you." In the past I would have smiled but this was different, i felt solemn and a bit agitated by their willingness to die for me. 

"Very well. Do we have soldiers?"

"Yes Mistress, two Divisions of Marines have joined us on the Justiciar, several Battalions spread amongst the smaller vessels."

Taking in the information I sat down on the command seat for the Justiciar, personnel quickly filtering through the ship as every post began to be filled. Maintenance was mainly done by Justiciara so there was not as many requirements for crew like the other vessels, thus the Justiciar was manned by only 200 crew. The rest of the vessel's defences were covered by Sentinels and automatically controlled Nanite defenders; controlled by Justiciara.

"When every ship reports their readiness, we depart... The Segmentum Ultima, Planet Redna, being our target."

"Confirmed Mistress, conveying information to the other AI. Transmission confirmed."

"The Armada has confirmed its readiness mistress... Initiating Multiversal Wormhole connection, confirmed, beginning journey!" A massive wormhole appeared, large enough for my Armada to go through. Grey mixed with black as a vague white effect was created by the wormhole itself. The entire armada soon faded and reappeared above the planet of Redna, its surface showing signs of warfare as flashes of light were radiating from gunfire and planetary artillery. 

...

On the Planet of Redna the Sister Superior fought in hand to hand against several mutated guardsmen who had forsaken the God Emperor. Barbed limbs and organic lances met power sword in an epic clash of devoutness versus heresy. Soon the power sword won out as the tip of the blade sunk into the neck of one of the creatures, the rest following afterwards and decapitating the mutant. The other mutant tried to stab forwards but was met with the barrel of a bolter pistol, the pistol's bolter round carving a massive hole in its' head.

"Sister Superior! We have located the nearby Hive!"

"Incinerate it, cleanse it in holy fire."

"Yes Sister!" The other sister of battle almost half a mile away ran fowards as her flamer ignited even hotter than before, the smell of Promethium spreading through the environ. Before her was one of the Tyranids' Bio pools, a hive centre so to speak. Its construction, if you could call it that, was sloppy, wet and fleshy as numerous parts of it squirmed and twitched. Green puddles were arranged within the construct as limbs of incomplete Tyranids slowly hatched from the sides.

Promethium soon became the most prevalent smell inside the room as the inner workings of the sister's flamer churned. A small sound of gas escaping an enclosed space ensued as it quickly was replaced by the acrid smell of carbon dioxide and burning flesh. The entire pool sundered into flame as the flames began to spread through the fleshy sinew and skin of the pool and the surrounding Tyranid elements. The eggs that were starting to hatch new Tyranids were the first to succumb to the holy rage and fire of the sister's wrath.

"BURN XENOS SCUM!"

Her voice was blotted out by the constant sound of Promethium expelling and igniting. The cartridge died but was quickly replaced in fervour as flame then quickly resumed its work once more. Tyranids cried out in pain and death as flames consumed them and purified their existence.

"Be purged by the holy flames of the God Emperor of Mankind!" Her voice was less subsumed by the fire now as the robotic voice changer of her helmet made it sound like a metallic screech. With a smile etching her face in menacing darkness below her helmet she reported her success to her Sister Superior, a response soon coming over the Vox in confirmation of their completed objective.

"Purge the remaining scum, then we hand it off to the Astra Militarum."

"Confirmed Sister!" Four rough and course voices affirmed their agreement to the decision as the Sister Superior sliced another mutant in half with her power sword.
