Luggnum 14

th
Penal Legion
The heavy truck races through the doors of the hastily re-purposed hangar, it's stablights sweeping
over the men of the Mordian 12
th
armoured, a rough cheer goes up as a wiry man with thinning hair
in the robes of a munitorum adept opens the passenger window and smiles lopsidedly to his
audience.
!ome and get it lads" #oo$e and %ho, compliments of the &mperor"'
The tailgate of the truck slams down, a pair of hulking men (ump down from their perches inside
the armoured vehicle and start to unload munitorum issue crates of potent )masec and %ho sticks
by the carton.
%t. !olonel *illiam #ill' &ous dropped the unconscious Mordian sentry to the floor and watched
as his henchmen go about their distraction, distributing the stolen )masec and %ho rations he had
been hoarding for weeks.
&ous's chosen men lurked in the shadows nearby, each having dealt with a sentry in their own brutal
way, he had ordered no deaths, and honed by a hundred e+ercise yard tousles his men had ,uickly
overcame the immaculately dressed Mordians without any raising an alarm.
The game was on.
&ous and his men found the Mordian's armoury tucked safely in the back of the hanger near the
small access hatch that &ous and his men had sneaked in through. *ith the sentries disposed of the
only obstacle now was the Mordians, who were ,uickly becoming inebriated on their long withheld
ration of alcoholic drink.
&ous sent a vo+ click to his third team. They would provide the final element that would allow him
to e+ecute his masterplan.
The third team was already in motion when the vo+-click came, they lit the old fuel dumps behind
the hangers and retreated to their billets where a carefully timed runner was dispatched to the watch
post to alert the watch officer that the billet of Mordian 12
th
was on fire.
#y then the thick black oil smoke was enough for the drunken Mordians to start panicking.
)llowing &ous and his men plenty of time to safely stow the stolen Mordian gear on the troop
transports earmarked to take the %uggnum 1-
th
.enal legion offworld at dawn, on route to their ne+t
deployment on /uluth.
