+++Viral Breach, possible daemon contact+++

“ Inquisitor Cadreus, we have been engulfed in a deadly fog! Many Battle Brothers have succumbed to this vicious blight. It has been named the “Pirahna Virus” as it chews through flesh and even armour in a matter of minutes. It leaves nothing but a few fragments of bone. 8 of our brethren have fallen to this pox as it seems to ‘leap’ from Astartes to Astartes.

In my opinion, the forces of Nurgle are at work on this planet. This disease is more potent than any infection I have witnessed from the contaminated warriors. I would suggest we make preparations to retreat from this planet.”

“Agreed, Brother Saracene, Allow me to order evacuation ships for you and our brothers. You shall be off of that blighted rock within the next 4 hours”

“Inquisitor Cadreus, are those evacuation ships ready?!

We need to retreat and fast! Contact has been reached with the enemy. As I thought Nurgle is at work.

The power....

Brothers.....”

Saracene had forgotten he was on Comm. Link for a few seconds as he reminisced about his battle brothers.

“Saracene! Compose yourself! Explain your situation!” Bellowed Cadreus to the Battle Brother.

“Sir, they came from a deathly thick black smog. Cantering towards us with their weapons lowered.”

“What were ‘they’??!!” Cadreus impatiently roared.

“Horrendously mutated..... Brothers...... On Horseback....... The Horses, Sir....... Innards hung from their distended stomachs..... One was wearing what looked like a gas mask and the Brothers carried rusted power weapons and massive razor sharp claws. Inquisitor Cadreus, they tore through us and those that were left standing were left foetid with the Pirahna Virus. Sir, I fear I was infected, I hear my armour bubbling and fizzing behind me. I can’t tell what is happening! I fear the blight shall burn through my armour in a matter of min...... aarrrrrAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!.........................” The Comm Link cut out with a loud abrupt click.

“Brother Saracene.... Brother Saracene...... BROTHER SARACENE!!” Repeated Cadreus to no avail.

“Get us away from this macabre, stinking planet! We must regroup and return to cure this foul abomination”
