Sergeant Lanfried "Oracle" Machholter, of the 13th Task Force Regiment under Lord General Militant Davius Kern, was stationed at a forward post near the front lines on the wartorn planet of Starth, a planet under a rebellion of cultists. He was awaiting arrival of new recruits, his last squad of guardsmen having been wiped out in a battle with Orks on another far-off world. He was reviewing the files, impressed to see the service records of the soldiers, and a little surprised at the regiments they hailed from. Midway through the review, the base alert triggered, signaling an attack. Lanfried grabbed his weapons from their nearby resting place, and rushed to the defense.

After a long period of heated fighting, the cultists had secured most of the base, with the command building and helipad still under Imperial control. Lanfried received a comm from his microbead, with the person on the other end identifying as a Valkyrie transport bringing in the new recruits he was expecting. Managing to get the Valkyrie in for a somewhat-safe landing, Lanfried shouted out a greeting to the recruits as the door opened, a hail of enemy fire also greeting them. 

"Welcome to Hell, meat! Hope you're ready for some killing, cause we've got work to do!"
