As the door to the bunker closed Roux immediately ran to the wall flicked a rather large switch and suddenly the door to the bunker began to shimmer in electricity. Slumping down against the wall, Roux shook his head, recovered and proceed to kneel infront of the assembled squad of space marines.

"My lords, welcome to headquarters, the only remaining bastion in our once noble city. I am Lt Roux, and I am the head of command here."

Standing back up, Roux flicked another switch and suddenly the entire complex burst into light, revealing dozens of imperial saint statues on the ceiling as well as a number of stairways leading down deeper into the complex.

"My lords, I believe a tour is in order."

With that Roux began to guide the squad through the complex, leading them hundreds of metres underground and showing them the various surviving citizens and soldiers along with the rather small amount of weapons they had remaining, explaining what had happened while doing so.

"The swarms appeared out of the ground a while ago, can't quite remember when. They killed millions of us overnight, we just couldn't defend against them, we weren't prepared or anything. When your predecessors arrived we helped them best we could, but unfortunately we couldn't leave to assist them, we had to remain to protect the survivors. Only reason we are actually alive now is because this shrine has a powerful electrified force shield over it. It doesn't do much to damage the swarms but it sure as hell makes them leave us alone."

Just as Roux finished a number of mechademdrites began to swarm around the feet of the squad, slithering along almost snake like before quickly retracting as a red robed tech priest walked out from the shadows in the corner of the room.

"Ah yes...my lords, this is tech priest Rulius, resident calmer of the machine spirits ect ect." Roux said in a somewhat sarcastic tone. Rulius shot him a menacing glare in return, its hostility amplified by Rulius's rather disturbing robotic face, before turning around and walking over to a control panel to continue his business. Roux proceeded with his tour of the bastion, talking to the squad and explaining what had happened as the swarms continued to slaughter the populace before finally reaching the bottom floor...a floor filled with explosive and 1 single white haired female imperial guardsman.

"My lords, this is Raven, our demolitions expert. She is currently setting up our last resort, a series of explosives that will destroy this bastion and everyone inside."

Raven gave the squad a wave before returning to his business, and Roux took a very fine pose and faced the space marine squad.

"So my lords, those are our facilities, what would you have of us? Do you have any questions?"
