A squad of space marines, clad in gleaming white power armour sneaks along a corridor. They reach the end and enter a room filled with communications equipment.
"STOP THEM!FOR RA!"
50 humans charge the marines, firing at them with lasguns. It doesn't work. THey are cut to pieces and the marines get to a broadband hyperwave transmitter.
"This is the 'Angels of Ankhmet' space marine legion. We officially want to declare our opposition to Ra the bastard leader of Ankhmet!We urge the people of Ankh to rise up against him and overthrow the daemons that control us!We are the true people of Ankhmet!We are the first Legion of Ankhmet!We shall be victorious!Novo ordo universalis!"

The Blood Angels vessel Wrath of Sanguinius was in the nearby sector. The Emperor-class battlecruiser was bustling with life. A radio crackled onboard. The communications officer recorded the transmission onto disk and forwarded it to Captain Manus.

Later that cycle, Captain Manus, Fce Cmmr Sangre, Father Corrosius and Father Chalence sat down in the meeting lounge. "I assume you summoned us here for a reason, Captain," said Sangre.

"Indeed sir," came the reply. Manus walked to the nearest terminal and slid in the datadisk. "Our comms officer recorded this transmission from the planet Ankhmet. The planet is a fair bit away, and it wasn't broadcasting in our direction, so the quality is very poor." He played the transmission, rife with a mechanical hiss. It was almost incomprehensible, but words could be made out.

"This is...Angels of...legion...declare...opposition to...Ra...People...Ankhmet...Daemons that control us...We shall be victorious!"

"These Marines appear to be minions of Chaos!" cried Corrosius.

"Indeed," agreed Chalence. "What shall we do?"

"I shall mobilise 5th Avengers Solus platoon," said Sangre. "We'll take down a few Thunderhawks, see what we can see."

"We're undersupplied," said Manus. "We've taken a beating. We only have 20 Thunderhawks left. You can have Tigris group."

The next cycle, two tactical squads, an assault squad, a devastator squad and Sangre with his Honour Guard descended onto the planet. These 50 Blood Angels would decide the fate of Ankhmet.
