The Query into Mr. Quasar

This is the intro to a battle report for a battle that has yet to happen.  The following transcript is to be found after the battle.


++Transmission begins++
Among the detritus of the planet's surface were found several datafile cartridges.  While most of them had been damaged beyond recover from repeated exposure to plasma radiation and virus-bomb corrosive compounds, one particular cartridge had been found beneath a large slab of ceramite left over from the detonation of what looks like a melta-bomb upon a blast-door.  The information has been mostly recovered, filtered for heresy, and released to the proper authorities.  An example of the information is presented below, for your perusal.
Excerpt from the transcriptions of the Vox Journal of Imperial Guardsman Private Weil Stryker, stationed in Quad 33 in Beltos, JLYN-55:

ORIGINAL ENTRY. +00136747

++The bug infestation landed three weeks ago.  Our platoon was assigned to the 731st and deployed along the southern banks of the Velta district, just east of the Jordaan slums.  The result was a massacre, but we held them to some degree, wiping out most of the smaller creatures both with wings and on clawed feet, leaving behind several larger beasts.  Our brothers died admirably, only a few in the beginning of the battle took flight and ran; our Veterans scored large prizes of monster bugs.  In the end, our deployment zone was a wasteland, littered with alien gore covering smoldering hulks of our destroyed transports.

++A meeting has been arranged.  After being dragged from the battlefield rather badly wounded, it was discovered that one of our Junior officers was none other than the former Rogue Trader that went by the name Miguel Quasar.  After this information was revealed to the Inquisitorial panels aboard the orbiting Entract, an entire shuttle full of power-armored advisors were sent to the surface.  As it turns out, Mr. Quasar was not to be removed from his post for failures in the battle, but rather would be reinstated.  I was most likely derelict in my duty by doing so, but I remained in the WC and eventually hid within the holding tank in order to hear the following details of our upcoming mission.

++Mr. Quasar, now Sergeant Quasar, has had repeated contact with the Eldar in outer regions in the past.  He had eventually helped Eldar forces to some degree during the Corriba Incident a mere 12 years ago.  For this, he was given access to certain information that led, in a confusing circle, to the recovery of the Threshold Pearl.  The Threshold Pearl could hold the forces of Slaneesh at bay, and it allowed decadent Eldar to venture beyond the confines of Commoragh enclaves and with him into deep space.  It was this way that Mr. Quasar became a Rogue Trader backed up by a gang of some of the most sinister of corrupted Eldar: the feared Death Seer Yog Sothoth, the Bounty Hunter Hiro Protagonist, and others named Ver Dante, Shub-Iftael, Jess Las, possibly others.  At some point on Cassius they had met their match fighting some renegades led by a retired Guardsman named Sergeant Hulka.  He was captured by them during an incident with a crashed alien vessel and was sold in slavery to the militia forces of JYLN-55.

Since then, using cunning and bravery, Quasar has worked his way into a semi-leadership role within the Guard of JYLN-55, and this is how he was discovered after the horrible battle against the bug-bomb sent to us by Orkish sabotage.

++Mr. Quasar has been sent to the Entract, and there he has communicated with some of the most powerful Eldar Farseers in the sector.  He has fooled them into thinking that he is behind the meeting on EnFuego, where the Eldar are preparing to retrieve the Infinity Relic, which by my guess is a sort-of warp enhancement crystal.  With it, it is rumored, our forces may be able to draw away the bugs plaguing our planet much in the same way the Orks have attracted them here.  However foolish this may seem, it is even more foolhardy that in stead of Mr. Quasar  the Warlord and Chapter Master of the Marines Errant will be the one that arrives at the meeting.  Surely, knowing the temperament of Chapter Master Malgar, this meeting is doomed from the start. 

++We are to fly tomorrow.  In 48 hours or less we will be arriving upon the surface of EnFuego, in a secure landing zone.  It has been noticed that in the Great Uprising, an abandoned Imperial Bastion known only as Bastion #451 has been left unguarded.  If we move swiftly we will capture the outpost ahead of the advancing Chaos forces, a group of traitorous renegades led by the Iron Warriors that has been regrouping after a vicious planetary Rokk Bombardment.  Company A will advance north to knock out their weakest flank, while our Company will drive north behind them and secure the Outpost and Bastion #451.  Here we will hold the line while the Marines Errant will perform a quick advance down the canyon to our east- this will lead them to the plateau where the Eldar-held landing zone, the Relic, and the Eldar host themselves lie in wait.  I will update when we arrive upon the surface of the planet.  I have illustrated this manuver using the crude tools of my datapack and recorder-screen applications. -+-


  

ADDENDUM. +00156748

++We have been quickly assembled and have secured Bastion 451.  Company A has sent good news, they have found the north flank to be disorganized and may be able to send reinforcements.   The Marines Errant have passed behind us silently in the night, and have made it to the plateau.  The Iron Warriors have detected our presence, and are flooding our vox channels with threats, taunts and promises of treasure upon our surrender.  Fear has gripped all of us, but we stand ready to resist their advance.  We have just heard word that talks with the Eldar have quickly fallen apart.  We are bracing for the worst.  Sensors in the Bastion have detected Eldar moving in from the northwest.  Company A has promised to send any remaining reinforcements from their Chem Squadrons and with heavy ordinance support.

++I can see the lights of the renegades shining in the distance as dusk falls.  Our las-packs are charged and we are advancing into position.  The ground shakes as their machines advance, and acrid smoke has begun to drift across the charred remains of this outpost.  Emperor have mercy upon our souls. -+-
