The fall of Equis IV

Today was any other normal day on the space hulk known as Ordinance IV. I patrolling around the aft of the ship with my bolter and plasma pistol. My bolter was an old mark V with semi-automatic fire, and a x 2.5 optic zoom. The plasma pistol was any old plasma pistol another blood angel would carry around. Walking along my assigned patrol path there was nothing of interest to view. The medical ward currently empty from the lack of battles recently after the tyranid uprising.It had 25 rooms each filled with a least 50 occupancies for other space marines. There was ld blood stains on the walls from when the tyranid battles were going on and being fought. I moved along to the armory that held most of the weapons for the blood angels. It had guns and weapons ranging from melta guns and pistols to heavy bolters to chain-swords to thunder hammers and power swords. The thunder hammers were rarely used unless chaos and daemons were a brew. My route just repeated itself from there.

I got a call from the commander, Gabriel Angelos, asking me to him in the helm of the ship. As I walked to the front of the ship. I saw many other marines and scouts cleaning their weapons and joking around with each other. I also saw the commander that lead us into battle and repelled the tyranid from sub-sector Aurelia. It looked as if he was spaced out in his own world. Everyone called him the hymn of the battle. Although I did not understand why, I have come to get used to it. He came over to me and said

"Nice work in the field, Thaddeus. I couldn't have asked for a better jump squad than yours!"

"And I couldn't have asked for a better commander!" I replied.

I came to Gabriel's door, and got ready to knock when I heard faint loud explosions in the distance. I assumed it was a ship malfunction until the ship-wide emergency alarm sounded off. There was another deafening explosion next to me as I fell into unconsciousness.
