Traitor Guard pt. 1

Lt. Dekker and his "Street Sweepers" execute a sweep and clear operation in a hab block where cultists of the Perfect Path had been seen propagandizing to the populous. 
The 101st was joined by two armoured fist squads of the 666th along with their Commander Lt. Darkhelm in the execution of their duties. Together they eliminated a large enemy cell in a brutal building to building battle.  
As Dekker's men prepared to move on when Sentinel pilot PFC Brandon noticed that Darkhelm's battle tank drawing a bead on him with the tanks battle cannon. The Sentinel pilot shouting a warning over the comms and firing a single blast from his plasma cannon before the tank fired, destroying the walker in a single shot.
Alerted to the betrayal Dekker's men bring plasma and meltaguns to bare, washing the enemy tank with punishing firepower. Losing many good soldiers, the traitor tank was nutralized.
While distracted by the battle tank, the 666th's chimera flanked the Imperial infantry,
Unleashing a hail of lasfire into the loyalists destroying two full squads.
As traitorous guardsmen rushed the Imperial lines the wyvern unleashed it's mortars upon it's former comrades, allowing the loyalists to retreat back into the city.

Uncovered Secrets

Doing routine logistics, Adeptus scribe Graeme Reede, of the departmento munitorum discovers something suspicious.  Following protocol Graeme contacted Inquisitor Agatha Ivana. The Scribe reported that an encrypted logistics file indicated that for months before the cult uprising somebody has been siphoning weapons and supplies to the Golden Path, marking the items as lost. Not only this, but it appears that assets and troops have been moved to the 666th Sagan regiment.  As Graeme made his report it was intercepted by Tepestor Prime, Zaggan Blackbringer, of the God sworn. Jamming the signal, Zaggan orders his men to seek the Scribe and kill him. The signal lost, Inquisitor Ivana orders Virion Stormborn of PEGASUS to retrieve Graeme and bring him in. Ivana knows that time is of the essence, as enemy troops are no doubt seeking the Adept themselves.

Exhausted and having taken heavy losses, Lt. Dekker knew that the Street Sweepers could not take much more. Dekker and Commissar Brawn devised a plan that they hoped would turn the tide of the battle and restore morale to their men.  They lured the 666th into a dense neighborhood where the tanks would have trouble navigating. Circling back they caught the armoured fist squads from the rear and used their mobility and numbers to attack the traitors. Running from ruin to ruin under covering fire of the wyvern the Street Sweepers were able to easily get withing range to make use of their melta guns, heavily damaging Darkhelm's tank as well as the Chimera transports without taking many casualties. His Russ billowing smoke, Darkhelm was forced to order a retreat, the Streetsweepers cheering as the tanks limped away.

Knowing that Tank Commander Darkhelm possed a very real threat the servants of the corpse emperor once again made an attempt on the Sagan's life. Luring the 666th deeper into the hab, the Streetsweepers turned to fight, in hopes of eliminating Darkhelm before it's too late.  Lt. Dekker and Commissar Brawn order their men forward with threats that any man falling back would face the Emperor's wrath at their hands. The Imperials let loose a hail of lasfire, but Darkhelm's leman russ was immune to such small arms and the Las shots struck uselessly on it's sturdy hull. Brawn cursed the men for lacking sufficient faith in the Emperor as he witnessed the soldiers' best efforts come to naught. The sacrifices  of Dekker's men was just a ploy. A squad of infantry led by a scout Sentinel snuck through the rubble strewn hab block, getting behind Darkhelm and his tanks. The s...
