After entering this cabin, the two mechanical priests immediately entered working mode.
Dietrian took the lead to walk to the operating table. Eight dead servitors were scattered on the table and turned into the shape of skeletons and bionic bodies.
Then Loken also stood at the console, his fingers clicking 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—a voice asking somewhere between narrative and whisper.
Dietrian's metal claws struck the keyboard and joystick, and then he shook his head.
"I can't, most of the ship is inanimate, but can send small amounts of power from one part to another, yes, but can't restore all power to all areas."
Soshyan was not very disappointed.
"Then do it."
"As commanded."
As Dietrian spoke, he began to divert what little power was left in the ship's pipes, forcing it into the area designated by Soshyan—mainly the bridge densely covered with locks, 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 would have the least casualties and the greatest rewards.
Thinking of this, Soshiyang suddenly remembered another thing.
"What kind of ship is this?"
Faced with this question, Dietrian turned his visor toward the ceiling seeking direction or verification from any loyalists.
but
The answer came from another person.
Less than ten seconds after Soshyan raised 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. It was torn into pieces by the alien's claws. There is a Hydra crest on it clearly showing his identity.
"Twenty Legion, Alpha."
Soshyan hissed the cursed name and recoiled in disgust.
At this time, Loken
I also found some useful information from the little data left.
"This is a cruiser of unknown type, named Stoneheart, from the 20th Legion. The last sailing date was...the 33rd millennium!"
If we want to talk about the most mysterious power of the Astartes in existence, then there is no doubt that the twenty legions that were finally formed were undoubtedly 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 few sightings reported claim that, although these warriors are Space Marines, they do not have heraldry and sometimes even fight under the guise of another Legion's heraldry.
Their actions were almost unanimous, including assassinations, espionage, covert sabotage and incitement, and even the kidnapping of 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 conflicts with other legions' ideas that led to the collapse of the Alpha Legion. After the Horus Heresy, he fell to the rebel side.
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 seeing the Alpha Legion soldiers here, even dead ones, surprised Soshyan.
And the information Loken obtained didn't 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 Dimensional Blacksmith, Soshyan was moved in his heart. Sevatar once gave him some common knowledge about Chaos Space Marines, so he knew that this was the name for 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 given and executed very quickly. Dietrian quickly used the remaining power to activate the hatch to the data room, reducing the time they had to break through the door and take a detour.
Before leaving the power room, Soshyan checked the time——
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 some tinny footsteps.
Soon, the centuries-long darkness and silence were broken by harsh sounds: the footsteps made by heavy metal boots and the starry-bright light from 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 the heaviest individual equipment in the empire. , composed of several layers of titanium and ceramite, capable of withstanding 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 could only advance along two adjacent passages. Although they were only a few meters apart, they were still divided.
Because of this, small talk among the squad completely disappeared once the action began.
Everyone is focused 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.
Guided by the dazzling light from their armor, the Space Marines approached the winding passage in single file.
Tactical fearless armor filled the narrow corridor, and 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 its 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 for a few seconds, but the image didn't move at all.
The enemy remains stationary.
"Prepare to attack."
He said while pressing the activation button of the power sword.
