--x--Brother Huron, Terminator Captain of the Space Wolves Chapter, leaned backangrily in the Command Throne. The air on the ship's bridge tasted foul butthe Tech-priests had higher priorities than calibrating filtration unitsnow. A glancing hit from a Tyranid Deathburner had caused crippling damageto the Star of Fenris. Running from a fight had caused Huron to howl withrage but it had been the only course open to him at the time.

There's not enough men there towithstand a Genestealer incursion.''We have no choice,' said Huron. 'Feed all auxiliary power to the maindrive. Notify the station commander. Genestealer attack imminent. Reliefforce on the way.'He prayed his brother Marines could hold out until he arrived..
