Dane gazed down at the planet, uninterested in the planet side visuals, a nauseating sneer had grown across his features.
"Heretics, Xenos, Witches, the very messengers of the great enemy..." The commissar trailed off, before turning to face his personal imperial shrine. "The men are ready to die," he thought aloud, before catching sight of the bridge's long range vox.
The Ordo Malleus, nobody would miss the planet, no Imperials about, less losses always means there'll be enough for tomorrow, should the need arise...
"No." He said flatly to himself. "I cannot fail, in his sight again."
The commissar walked slowly out of the bridge, and even more slowly into the troop quarters. All of the guardsmen inside were relaxed and yet ready for anything. Some sharpened bayonets, others slept, but Everyone stood at attention when Dane entered the room. He stared them down, some of the very finest, imagining losing the army he inherited, Dane gritted his teeth, stared at the guard's lieutenants, and said his hollowed words.
"Planetfall. Now."
