Feelings? In 40k!? HERESY! *BLAM!* Nah, just joking.

(I yell in aggravation as I am thrown through the air & land in a heap of trash. While I pick myself up from the wreckage, I begin to notice the figures of Du'un & his Abyssal marines. As they begin to advance upon me, I grin & whisper:)

You are all too late...I really do advise you start running now...

(though my thoughts are in disarray, I succeed in holding on to reality long enough for me to enact my spell, & teleport myself to safety aboard the Hydra's Teeth)

Detonating explosives

(down in the bowels of the city, the expolsives in question simultaneously explode. They were the ones the Alpha Legion had placed on the 'detour' two hours earlier. A detour towards the plasma generators powering the entire city, & also keeping it afloat...)

(when they exploded, the results were apocalyptic. The generators themselves were massive, each one the size of a baneblade, & they were packed together in batteries of ten. & there were dozens of batteries. The force & heat was so great, that the entire underside of the city was blown out into the sea beneath it. But that was nothing compared to the devastation wrought to the underlevels of the city. Fire & plasma ran rampant throughout the tunnels & chambers, immolating anything in its path, before the walls themselves were vitrified, such was the heat. Only Du'un survived the explosion, conjuring up a force barrier to ward off the flames & protect his comrades.)

(the upper sections of the city were far from untouched though. As the generators exploded, all the city short-circuited, as all power was lost. Anarchy ensued as forces were cut off, communications blacked out, & the city was plunged into darkness. But just as everyone on the city though the situation could get no worse, there was a horrendous groan of tortured metal. The explosion from the generators had been so great it had melted vast sections of the city's scaffolding, & it was slowly beginning to lose its structural integrity. Little by little, like a vast continent being wracked by tectonic forces, the city began to break apart.)

(massive fissures appeared in the ground, accompanied by either curtains of fire & metal, or torrents of water as it began to sink. Explosions erupted all over the city as it began to die, obliterating many warriors who had survived the fighting, while fires ran rampant wherever there was combustable fuel, immolating the rest. Some sections of the city simply began to collapse in on themselves as the roiling plasma did its job. Others began to tilt at alarming angles, pitching their occupants into the sea. Others were merely wracked with explosions, simply killing all those on board, while others, in a similar but far less swift manner, burned until all who remained on them was rendered unto ash. & others simply sunk below the waves, condemning all those on them to a watery grave.)

(the disaster that was occurring to all those who'd set foot on the city had not gone unnoticed by their command. Dropships & rescue craft were sent down en-masse to try & look for survivors amidst all the carnage & mayhem. This only escalates the conflict though, as dogfights break out as each side tries to gain air superiority over the other, leading to an even greater massacre. Metal wreckages fall from the sky into the azure seas, occasionally colliding with another flyer as it tries to save warriors. & all the while the city continues to sink...)

(far above, aboard the Hydra's Teeth, I watched the cataclysmic spectacle with unbridled glee. Even Sakro was impressed at the absolute devastation wrought.)

Hehehe, magnificent is it not?

Sakro: It is a thing of monstrous beauty Sindri.

Now we can turn our attentions to the artefact we have gained, (my gaze falls upon the large black machine we looted from the chamber) & try to unlock its secrets.

Sakro: Good idea. First, let us enter the warp. I have no wish to be around when our enemies realise who has committed this deed.

Out of character: OK, this is probably the single most audacious thing I have EVER attempted. Sorry people, but I daresay you all took heavy casualties as a result of this. Please don't all stage a 'Sindri hunt', as I guess you're all REALLY hating me after this. Mind you, that's probably a plea that's going to fall upon deaf ears. Such is the price I must pay for being an absolute troll.
