Now then, onto the matter at hand. As you are all likely aware, our regiment has taken heavy casualties over the past few campaigns. We've taken so many infact, that command has been unable to keep up with our reinforcement requests.
Because of this, as well as the fact that our once glorious ship, the Eagle's Fury, is now in a decaying orbit, where it will eventually spiral out, and burn up mid atmosphere. Our current objectives are as follows: First, find a source of new recruits. I hear that press hanging is rather effective in the navy. And two, find out what planet we're even on. That sudden evacuation from the ship, was quite the panic, so long range communications is near out of the question. And three. Find somewhere to stay, before we all freeze to death, on this barren ice world.
Now, to keep our minds off the cold. I am calling for a suprise and mandatory, field kit inspection, to assess our current supplies.
So, all hands, present arms and equipment, for a Field Kit Inspection!

I think we can start a fire to keep us warm using some paperwork. We can start off with pension records, since none of us are gonna be needing them anymore.
Samuel Davis
Third company, reporting in, Commissar! We currently stand at 1/10th strength, and are missing all but two officers.
Second company is missing entirely, same with fifth and sixth companies. Seventh armoured company at full strength, eighth is missing all its officers, same with 10th and twelfth companies.
Fourth company is standing at quarter strength, and is down to three officers. First company is at 20%, and down to four officers.

*snatches it from him* NOW IS NO TIME TO LEAVE! WE HAVE OUR ORDERS AND WE SHALL DO THEM! NOW, LETS FIND A NEW SOURCE OF RECRUITS!
Luis Garcia
Huh, nice work. Maybe there's hope after all. Send a distress broadcast to all outlying areas, maybe an imperial cruiser can pick us up.
Ryder James
We didn't abolished caste, we abolished limitations of activity between caste, anyway let's get out of here A "thank you" won't burn your tongue gue' la
Henry Ross
Erm honorable priest, were on a frozen planet, there are no recruits here since there are no humans, and first we must find out in which system we are in a first place
Gavin Hill
If you wanna run off into the tundra and freeze to death you can go for it, I'm gonna wait here for rescue
Chase Price
THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE WRONG! THE IMPERIUM OF MAN STRETCHES THROUGHOUT ALL OF KNOWN SPACE! THERE HAVE BEEN COLONISATION EFFORTS ON PLANETS FAR MORE INHOSPITABLE THAN THIS ONE! THERE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A FAILED COLONY SHIP, SOMEWHERE. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND IT!
Jace Hill
And you will keep the beacon until we find it, yes?
Elijah Rogers
THIS IS CORRECT
*the priest would wander off into the icy hellscape, cheerily chanting praises to the emperor*

Do not mistake hope for desillusion , even Orks wouldn't survive on this ice world So keep your words for your self or go alone

Honorable priest, there are walls of ice everywere on this planet, what makes this one special?

The commissar do the same with troopers, ain't it ?
Landon Garcia
I FOUND IT THATS WHAT! NOW STOP ASKING QUESTIONS AND MOVE THE CAMP FIRE OVER HERE! *he shouts from a quarter of a mile away*

Well there's more ice...

Jace Hill
>The grenade blasts the ice wall with a deafening blast, blowing ice chunks throughout the tunnel. When the smoke clears, a small tunnel is revealed, with a steep downwards gradient.
Eli Morgan
>The grenade would clear the ice completely, allowing further access into the cave, whilst the torch was now destroyed enough light remained to see that the cave contained a single small creature, coated in ice further down the cave. >it was getting dark now, the ice planet would soon get much, much colder
Dylan Carter
Hmm, let's set up a camp here, in case blizzard will start during the night, yes Also, what is that?

Alright, looks like we found dinner. Someone grab the rest of the men and get them in here, we can explore that tunnel later once we're more set up here
