[Remember the plan laid out here. Revan will hold a briefing once all forces are gathered to make sure various groups know what to do in the fight without stepping on the toes of everyone else. He's looking for cooperation, not big-damn-hero syndrome. You know what you need to do so get to it.]

You have an interesting definition of glory. [ Garviel thinks back to the Escalade assault where the 10th and the War Hounds suffered so grievously when the Knights of the brotherhood mined the breach, and his expression grows distant, and quite flat. ]

I'll undertake the assault as ordered, and will do my best to force their hand, and lure them into the skies. As for capturing the mounts.... I'm afraid the extra materiel I requested before this undertaking is sub-optimal for that. We're more likely to kill a few of them, but I don't suppose that is too big a problem as long as we aren't slaying them all, and I certainly won't have my men interfere with your capture efforts.

First in, last out is a statement many would die for as long as they're associated with it.

Kill as many as you need to. Capturing is only something I want to see if it's prudent. Better dead than alive and your own wounded or dead.

Understood. Any other instructions?

Kill as many as you can. Mounts are one thing. Prisoners are not to be taken.

You don't think they might provide valuable intelligence? [ Loken looks honestly perplexed by the idea of not taking humans prisoner when possible. They can always be re-educated later, after all. ]

No, I don't. They came here with one idea in mind and I feel it's only proper to return that idea back to them.

It is your command to make, but information is victory. [ With that boring quote of the Codex Astartes, Garviel shrugs. ]

In this case, power is victory and power will be something they will lack.

I'll see to my men.

[Revan waves him off.

Why yes, he's hoping for lots of casualties. He's cruel like that.]
