To Sergeant Sade Verus,

Two days ago we lost contact with Lotus, a squad of scout marines
operating out of Fifth Company. We had sent them on a reconnaissance
run to Sepperus IV, where, as you know, an Eldar strike force has set
up camp. I know you just got back from that clash with the Tau over
on Archan, but you’re the best I have right now. Gav isn’t much of a
replacement for Arjeth and I’m sorry you lost him, but I can’t trust
anyone else with this. Lotus had full knowledge of resources and
assets to help them assess the situation. Their job was to
reconnoiter the Eldar defenses and root out the locations of their
anti-air batteries.

A single member of Lotus did escape, but the only thing we could learn
from him before he succumbed to his wounds was that the rest of his
squad had been taken. It’s imperative we get Lotus back, assuming
they’re still alive. Not only is the information they have vital to
any sort of attack, but if the Eldar were to get any of them to
talk…

I am leaving it up to Aether Squad to get Lotus out of there, alive.
And Verus, please, be discrete about it. I know you and Arjeth were
close, but I need you at the top of your game. I’m counting on you,
Sade.

Die laughing.

- Captain Argent Ravus
