Episode Five - Agri Agro
Planet bound
Zetkin strained to control the shuttle into the planets
atmosphere
She steered with great effort so that it would land on solid
ground. Angling on the surface to land. Without warning from her cockpit runes
the other engine caught on fire as she pulled up on to lessen the angle. Novus
helped co-pilot the shuttle with his rudimentary knowledge of piloting.
She landed sliding along the wheat fields, leaving a brown
scar on the surface, where the craft had hit the ground. The shuttle had only
just come to a halt before the crew bailed out getting to a safe distance away
from the gently burning shuttle.
On the surface
Outside the slowly smoking crashed shuttle, they looked
about at their surroundings, as far as their eyes could see there was a vast
expanse of growing wheat fields with dirt roads separating the various fields.
Gathering their salvaged gear they headed off along the dirt
path
The party started their journey with the quiet Astropath
they travelled along the dirt path, in the distance they spotted a small
outpost. As they got closer they couldn’t see anyone about, the main door was
ajar. Further inspection shown it had been abandoned, Novus found himself a
terminal, and much to his great relief Zarkov came across a half packet of lho
sticks. At the other side of the outpost, Kar came across a few farming vehicles,
but it was the heavy truck and all terrain Jeep that interested him mostly. Looking
in the cockpit he spotted that the keys to the vehicles were in them.
The small outpost looks to have only contained five
families.
The Astropath still refused to speak; she gently drank some
water softly weeping.
After some searching they found some fuel and filled up
canisters.
Novus gathered info on the inhabitants of the outpost; they
had fled to the star port about a week ago, when Orks appeared in system. The Talon starport was only three days
drive. Soon they filled up the back of the truck with supplies for the journey.
The Journey
The jeep driven by Zarchov in front with the truck driven by
Kar following behind.
Cutter and Stern rode in the jeep, while rest travelled in
the back of the truck.
Lying not far from the trail, a large piece of debris that
had fallen from the sky, on closer inspection it appeared to be solid chunk Ork
debris.
Cutter on sentry as others slept, suddenly saw an Ork
landing craft fly dangerous close overhead heading in the direction of the
Talon spaceport.
As night progressed Zarkov drove in front his lights turned
off and wearing the night vision goggles Novus had lent him. Kar following
Zarkov’s rear lights in the truck behind. Suddenly he registered movement up
ahead, a screeching whistling sound accompanied the object moving fast towards
him. With a breakneck turn he drove in to the wheat field on his left not
stopping, an explosion shook the ground where he was just moments ago, the
truck behind was scattered with mud as the ground in front erupted. Kar swerved
the truck to the right avoiding the crater the missile had left behind.
Zarkov reading his auspex, four blips lay up ahead; he drove
straight into them and was rewarded with a squeal and a squelching noise.
Ork Patrol
Up ahead a crude Ork ground vehicle could be seen heading in
their direction its engine spewing black smoke. Zarkov swiftly drove deep in to
the wheat fields. And made a small clearing and waited for the Ork trukk to
pass. However it didn’t pass. It stopped at the trail that Zarkov had made into
the wheat. The inquisitorial cell hearing the Ork trukk’s engine stop, got out
and readied their weapons .Zarkov, Kar and Cutter headed in to the wheat and
hid, Zarkov hid behind his scopulus pattern
riot shield on the left of the track that he had shaped with the Jeep, he read
his auspex noting five blips, coming up the direction of the trail. He could
see the Guardsman Kar not far from him evaluating his position. Cutter was on
the other side of the trail in the wheat closer to the vehicles, his weapon
raised. The rest stayed in the solid cover of the truck.

(Squig handler Ork boyz x1
Whip instead of choppa, Dark heresy creatures anathema p98)
(Attack squig x1 Dark heresy
creatures anathema p101)
Zarkov hidden in the wheat could see on his auspex that two
of the blips had broken off into his direction, he could hear a wet sniffing
noise. Cutter and Kar waited until the greenskins where in sight. Soon three
Orks turned the corner and came into view.
Cutter opened up with his autogun on full auto in to the
nearest one. It roared savagely and ran towards his assailant. Cutter still
firing on full auto as the Ork closed the gap between them, he could see that
he had hit the beast but it seems not to notice. Soon it was standing before
him.
Kar let lose on another Ork, it too closed the gap letting
off a poorly aimed shot off at the guardsman. Soon they were engaged in brutal
melee combat. Kar dodged the Orks ruthless swings with its cruel choppa. Then
pulled out his own blade
The last unengaged Ork charged towards the rest of the party
in the vehicles. Stern jumped up and charged at the Ork. The greenskin struck
out at the outlaw smashing him hard Sterns leg bleeding heavily, the outlaw
fell back against the jeep.
Kar and Cutter both took down their green foes and ran to
help Stern. Novus and Zetkin then joined in on the combat the force of numbers
the Ork was overwhelmed.
The Psyker used her abilities and used warp energies to knit
Sterns wound back together.
Stern snapped out a large Ork tooth from the one that had
injured him
Cutter, Kar and Novus ran to help the beleaguered arbite. It
was Kar who had the killing blow against the Ork squig handler, slicing its arm
off in a spray of blood.
They all breathed heavy as the last of the Orks life left
him.
They could all hear that thee was still some Orks waiting at
the trukk.
Stern sneaked up on the Ork trukk through the wheat, he lit
his fire bomb and hurled in to the open topped cabin area. With a wash of heat
the cabin went on fire, setting the three Ork passengers aflame. The trukk dashed
forward and made a skid turn throwing the burning passengers from the trukk.
The driver drove back up the track the Ork gunner scanning the area for signs
of movement. Stern ran and the Ork gunner let rip with the high velocity
weapon. The shots landed all around sterns running feet, lucky to have not been
hit. He joined everyone in the vehicles, he got in the jeep and the party
headed off as fast as they could.
Escape on the dirt
track
Solid slugs from the vehicles big shoota strafed across the Jeep
hitting cutter, but absorbed by his carapace armour.
Novus lay flat on the back of the truck, resting his
meltagun on the back facing towards the Ork truck. The truck slowed to let the
Orks get closer. Novus then fired.
The meltagun hit the left side of the trukk reducing it to
molten metal, the Ork driver roared and the Ork gunner fired wildly at the red
robed firer of the Melta weapon, the shots bounced off harmlessly off the tech
priests newly acquired carapace armour. The Ork trukk slowed. Zarkov put his
foot down and drove off with Kar close, leaving the Orks far behind him
