The inside of the gunship groaned as the great weight of the Sternguard was lifted off of it. The Marine landed on the ground with a heavy thud, the man grunting at the impact. Higher than he'd expected. Looking around, he made sure all others were accounted for... By the screaming, he'd assumed the resident Angry Marine was up.

The heavy metal of his cloak made little sound as he positioned himself nearby, aiming his gun at the undergrowth, trying to hear where the Orks would be coming from. Not that he could hear much other than that damned gun anyways.
