IMPERIAL:
The animal wasn't completely mindless. He could follow basic instructions from his handler with regularity. He wasn't the largest of the pack, or the strongest, but was only lucky enough to be chosen for this mission. His brothers and sisters had been mostly anihilated by the chaos scum his masters were warring with, and this was not new to his sensibilities. He had hundreds of siblings at their disposal and they would use them up for their wars. The wolves themselves could do nothing but comply and were happy to.
He had been tasked with his brother to seek out an explosive and return to lead his masters to it. It was supposed to be a group effort, but these things happen sometimes on the field of battle. It ended up that they were the only two beasts left and now they were combing the structure for the glory of their late masters. The other humans in this complex were pitiful creatures. He had torn out three of their throats already in his exploring and it seems that the rest had learned to be out of the great wolf's way when he was around. A blind corner was coming up and he could smell the ancient thermite of his target. No one would get in its way as he rounded the corner and sniffed around his target. A silence almost echoed in the hallway then, and the beast sniffed at the air and checked its surroundings and........ nothing. He turned back to the task and gave a long howl for his masters to come find him. Just then one of the manlings stumbled around the corner with blood coming from a severed limb. The wolf stepped up onto the machine to give battle and.................. bright light everywhere.
The space wolf commander was punishing the servants of the chaos scum. The old enemy the Night Lords had come out of nowhere, and that meant that his mission to collapse the dam was a critical one indeed. The wolves that had been sent in to find the relic, had not been heard from in some time, and he was getting ready to send in actual troops to locate the device when the ground shook. There was a flash that blinded out all the sensors. All he saw was a tremendous wall of water coming down on him from the sky. Hunh, he thought. The wolf must have set it off. The Nth chapter marines had informed him just that morning of the device, but failed to tell him of the trigger on it. He assumed that it would be complicated, but it seemed that was the wrong assumption, and it was too late now to worry about it. He closed his eyes and welcomed the site of the glorious gates of Valhalla in front of him.
Soooo....... turns out that the imperials win the game on a play where a wolf hits the destruct button on an explosive device that was put there by the Nth raptors after traveling back in time and planting the device before the dam was built. Crazy weekend.
Chaos:
This had to be the most frustrating battle he had ever been in. Ezekiel Abbadon was back in his star chambers on board his ship after the debacle at the dam. The process of information had been tainted in some way. None of his orders were being received correctly and the information that he was scrying seemed to be tainted as well. It was frustrating that the second artifact couldn't be activated. They had recovered it and that was a good thing, but he should have been able to complete the task. It seemed that the presence of the Nth chapter was more of an annoyance that it first appeared and he would have to do something about that in the future. The future............... He couldn't put his finger on what was bothering him about the future, but there was something nonetheless. No sense worrying about it now though. The reorganization process had begun and there was plenty of time to decipher what had gone wrong at the dam.
