[edit] Characters and Plot

Demaris Tertiary has been assaulted by WAAAGH Gorgutz, and the Ork Nobs Ardnock, Knutta and Skyva are under threat of being fed to Gorgutz' prize collection of squigs. Whoever is last into the fortress the Ork Horde is attacking is to be fed to the squigs. Colonel Izraell and his 96th Tallarn Desert Raiders desperately try to fight back the Ork WAAAGH at the garrison of the Senshu factory hive. Izraell's backup is defeated and his own armoured vehicle platoon is captured and used against the garrison. The garrison is quickly destroyed, and he falls down in the debris only to survive by falling into a sewage pipe. Ork Nob Skyva finds that he is the last to enter the breached garrison, much to his frustration, but finds Izraell and mistakes the sewage covered human for some kind of exotic squig. Hoping to bargin for his life, Skyva captures Izraell and takes him to Gorgutz, along with Knutta and Ardnock. As they walk, Izraell, in a cage, picks up a discarded Plasma Pistol from a pile of garbage and uses the pistol to kill Knutta and Ardnock. Skyva, however, survives and Gorgutz believes that Skyva killed Knutta and Ardnock in order to avoid being fed to Gorgutz' squigs. Impressed, Gorgutz spares Skyva and suggests him to keep Izraell as a lucky charm.
