This is Captain levitas to all allied commanders.

What is your status in the system? Has anyone had communications with the Ultra Marines?

My Cruiser the silent night is in low orbit over Ansul. Scout squads and recon thunderhawks have found no sign of enemy forces. Just a desolate hot rock. Librarian Velos will take to the surface in 48 terran hours.

Apologies Raven Guard for the non action. We are currently trying to get our drop time under the codex required six minutes.
Actions to be staged soon, but not if Brother Ansolar of our devastators doesn't get his act together.

AVE IMPERATOR REX!

...ultras dropping in under 6 minutes, hah, we can do it in three... hey is this on.......

Word bearers have been spotted on the surface of Evora, we are as yet unsure of how they entered the planets atmosphere undetected. Energy readings have peaked at grid reference 742,176 scout parties are en route to investigate the disturbance.

Unknown vessels are holding position at the edge of effective scanning range, its almost as if they want to be found. we have no inclination to the vessels alligence and factionality, all attempts to contact them have been ignored.

Have you news of the vessels commander? Friend or foe!

Communication has been sparce, good to hear from our allies at long last. It is time for swift retribution.

Ansul has so far proved desolate and empty, scout sgt Fortune is running low flights over it's surface in search of the enemy. Yesterdays recon again provided nothing. Solar activity is believed to be playing with our sensors. Nothing but ghosts and chatter.

I know they are there, and I will find them...

Commanders, this is Captain Levitas on the strike cruiser Silent Night.

We are docked at the still functioning station Lone Star. Necessary repairs are to be made to our vessel after the successful and hard fought victory on Ansul.

The mechanicum is hard at work and hopes to get us battle worthy soon.

8th out

** have a nice day**
