Taking cover alongside the Chimeras, Caius fell in line with the newly-arrived wave of Brontian and Xenoian soldiers. As his lascarbine did not feature a bayonet lug, he had to make due with firing the occasional potshot between the engaged melee soldiers. As he fought on, he noted the various heavy weapons teams taking position on the hulls of the two remaining Chimeras. Continuing his slow advance alongside the others, he once again noted that same plasma gunner taking charge in the fight, cutting swaths through the Ork forces. This is when the Orks would once again bring out the heavy weaponry. A lucky greenskin armed with a makeshift missile launcher fired off a lucky shot, grazing one Chimera, dealing damage but luckily leaving the heavy weapons teams relatively unharmed. Caius would find himself signaled back into the Chimera, which had sustained damage to its steering mechanism in the explosion. He would call out to the soldiers nearby the APC saying "Keep this Chimera covered while I get it moving again!" He rushed to pull out his repair kit, and despite the shaking and rattling, would begin work on the steering controls. He spoke calming words in an attempt to soothe the vehicle's Machine Spirit, offering up a prayer to both the God-Emperor and the Omnissiah. As he raced against the clock with his work, he couldn't help but think of a few words from an old song he had learned from an old veteran in his regiment.
