[Roania, Early morning, A Street.]
The falcon gravitic tank was a sophisticated piece of equipment, capable of one hundred and eighty kilometres per hour at low altitude, and eight hundred and fifty at high altitude. Two of them came down the street of port Aqua, forming the transport for someone very important. Well concealed, at both ends of street, buildings had been appropriated, their inhabitants interned, on the 'orders of the inquisition.'
From these buildings, numerous handheld SAMs were prepared, all of them close to twenty first century technology, for the sake of plausible deniability. At the right point four of them were launched at the falcons at either end of the column, aimed directly at the cockpit of the lead falcon and those fired at the rear falcon were aimed down the engine nozzles, exploding inside the engines. The two tanks targeted crashed to the ground a few meters below, immobile.
The wave serpent transport in the centre shot vertically upward, and began to accelerate away, too late, another three missiles fired at it, penetrating the unshielded rear of the tank.
Despite the ability to destroy the tanks, the next part would be much more of a chellenge, a woman in the robes of an eldar farseer emerged, and a towering robot. The woman was holding her head in a distressed manner, and looking particularly confused.
Another pair of missiles were fired from the buildings, slamming into the machine, a volley of heavy machine gun fire lashing out, first at the robot and then the aspect warriors. The robot was disabled by repeated volleys of rocket propelled grenades and other similar weapons, while another dozen SAMs slammed into the rear hatches of the Falcons, killing the guards within.
Throughout this the gunners of the eldar vehicles were not idle however, and, when the pariah humans came for the eldar farseer, only two of the original thirty survived to apply large thermite charges to the remains of the robot and the bodies of their comrades. One of them made certain to hold a crucifix to the unconscious woman's face, and shout, "The LORD has delivered the witch to us!"
Finnaidann, of the striking scorpion aspect watched this, even as his lifeblood leaked away through his injuries, and briefly spat a curse as his soul jumped into the receptacle on his chest.
