//------------------------------// // Hog Convoy // Story: PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War II | Redemption // by Dragon Heart //------------------------------// After the brutal mission against their once loyal battle siblings, Helios and the Pony Marines returned to their ship. Spike did a sweep scan of Dolmaska and discovered something at the Blood River site. "I have detected xenos activity." said Spike. "While not related to our objective, investigating may be beneficial." Spike played an intercepted vox recording for the Blood Phoenixes to hear. From the sounds of it, Hogs have gathered at the area for a delivery to their SNAARL! *... and remember: use dose shiny bridges, cuz dey bring good lukk.* a big gruff Hog, likely the Warboss, said. *If dere's an ambush, be at da supply depot it will. Don't let da enemy reach da supply depot! An' protect da trucks! I don'ts care how many of ya gitz gets smashed... I'm sendin' some boarz ta loot an make sure dere's no ambush; send kanz, and den send boarz: all kindz o' boarz.* Before continuing with their next mission, Spike confronted Helios with some helpful advice. "Captain, our forces and battle options have grown recently." said Spike. "Though I am loathe to remain behind, you might consider deploying without Pinkie, The Ancient, or myself. Doing such will allow you to deploy with more forces."
