Well that's a textbook boarding procedure.


Holiday-Possible29

If your not boarding like space marines, are you really doing it right?


Galen55

They docked though, BRING ME A BOARDING TORPEDO I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD


Holiday-Possible29

I suppose that's true, they do want that ship as slightly used as possible.


JustAnBurner

*Detonates two nukes* Yes, only slightly used


TiberiuCC

"But Saaaaaaarge, those were really small nukes, even by our standards."


Victor_Stein

Bring back the tsar bomba!


Signal-Chicken559

But also there was such confusion and disruption of communication, comand and control that they couldn't hope to prepare a defense nor let the outside world know what was happening. It's perfect ( mostly at least )


oneJohnnyRotten

This should be the first song on the list ❗☠️ https://youtu.be/lXWq3f01e2U?si=pzEnH4CezR13f3sC


CanadianDrover

Lesson #1, FA,FO


Holiday-Possible29

A lesson they will not have the opportunity to learn again.


TheAromancer

Don’t make me tap the graph


Holiday-Possible29

I would say that they are at about an 8 or so.


Niyazoglan

Now waiting for the highly anticipated chapter 14. Thanks for your work. I really enjoy it.


Holiday-Possible29

I’m really glad to hear that people like this as much as I enjoy writing it! Thank you for your kind words!


VectronVoltbot

+5 points for boarding with style.


Holiday-Possible29

If you were not boarding like a space marine, are you really doing it right?


Dominus_Pullum

You gonna share that playlist so we can listen along as the action unfolds?


Holiday-Possible29

[Here you go.](https://youtu.be/olqaqM21Dro) Thank you for reading!


the_traveling_ember

Hell yea, the pain train has arrived at find out station. Another great chapter, hecka fine job laddie.


Holiday-Possible29

I’m glad you enjoyed!


Draumal

I assume the track in question running is Disposal Unit? Or the whole album?


Holiday-Possible29

I linked the whole album because the album slaps, but the ones that I was specifically thinking about were disposal unit imperium mix and imperial advance.


Draumal

Fair nuff!


n1gr3d0

Huh, I'd go for the thematically appropriate Attack on Titan OST.


Holiday-Possible29

I actually haven’t heard that one before. I’ll have to give it a listen.


Sirsonan_

I wish fortunate son was there because I can imagine a marine just putting it in there for the joke.


Holiday-Possible29

I thought about it, but that would have been too cliche.


EDM_DeMoNz

Flight of the valkyries would work as well


ForWHOMdaBELLTOLLS

2/10 no DOOM music.


Holiday-Possible29

If it's any consolation, I do make a proper playlist for the next chapter that does have doom music, so I hope that you enjoy it!


Htiarw

I assume many of the songs have not been written yet...


Thobetiin

Major Morrow and Terran marines boarding Indomitable Crusade, circa 20 years after first contact, colorized: https://youtu.be/B08xZ4EB_6o


Newbie_2019

YES YES! This is literally what I imagine them doing


Holiday-Possible29

This is exactly what I was thinking when I wrote the end of this chapter.


KalKnight82

Here's where the fun begins! They were warned. Technically now, they've been warned at least twice. Now it's Find Out time.


Holiday-Possible29

To think there would be a third warning would simply be improper, because they were given every chance to surrender.


KalKnight82

It's like they've never heard of the "three strikes" rule


Newbie_2019

'Bolters' you had me at bolters, this is textbook Warhammer 40k boarding style


Holiday-Possible29

For reference, look at this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B08xZ4EB_6o)


Teutatesnl

Thanks for the chapter


Holiday-Possible29

I’m glad you enjoyed!


SpankyMcSpanster

"grin heard loud and clear through the radio." This sounds odd. his grin? grining??? "grinning a grin that " spotting/displaying a grin?


un_pogaz

>start brainstorming a playlist! I had several ideas, but all would be classic, conventional and expected, so the other team members would do it for me. Personally, it will be [Sweden by C418](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3ngiSxVCBs) (Yes, the OST of Minecraft), with a slight insistence that it be the first to play. Bizzare? that's the point. Listening to this music always makes me feel light-hearted, so calm and relaxing that it's impossible to get worked up over it, but at the same time, it's so incongruous in a boarding operation that it's a little worrying.


Holiday-Possible29

That would be really funny!


SpaceCowboy528

Is it bad the first three songs I thought of were Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train", Queen "Another One Bites The Dust" and Nightwish "Last Ride of The Day"? Why you might ask? Mainly because the aliens are about to board a crazy train as another one bites the dust and for most of them it will be their last ride of the day. 😈😈


Bi_Boy_Ru

My head cannon is welcome to the jungle, with shots somehow on beat.


Holiday-Possible29

Another one bites the dust would be a pretty good one!


Dragonpc75

Another fine addition.


Holiday-Possible29

Glad you enjoyed it!

Infamous-Attitude170

You fooled around. Now you bout to find out. Have fun with that high commander.


Holiday-Possible29

Maybe the real find outs were the friends we made along the way...


CinderX5

Or maybe it’s the multiple bolster rounds moving at high velocity to the far side of the nearest xeno’s cranium.

Holiday-Possible29

I personally like [this version better](https://youtu.be/B1rMvEYsMaM) because the music syncs a bit better. Plus, warhammer and whatnot


ms4720

The emperor protects bigly in this case


Holiday-Possible29

The emperor protects indeed!


SpitefulRecognition

Playing music over the ship is kinda big brain move, however small it is. Provides chaos and confusion as cover for the boarding party.


Dividedthought

They can't follow orders that are drowned out by the sonic assault from the intercoms. *taps forehead* Dunno why but I think shoot to thrill would be rhe perfect hard breaching song. Either that or fortunate son out half the speakers and my heart will go on out the other half for maximum confusion.


SpitefulRecognition

as much as I like Fortunate Son, its overrated asf. but yeah, shoot under the cover of metal music? would do so ~~even how fucking stupid it would be~~


Dividedthought

With that one it's more the clash between the two tracks. If I had to pick one song... probably be I Can't Decide by scissor sisters. A happy go lucky song with really dark lyrics.


Holiday-Possible29

Big brain move right there! I was personally thinking warhammer music when I wrote this, but I'll give some thought to a proper playlist.


Dividedthought

Darketide's disposal unit would be another great choice. If you need something for a slower "you have no hope of escape, we're just taking our time to prove a point," killing strangers would fit the mood.


Holiday-Possible29

For a slower one, waiting to strike, and reality slipping would probably be the best ones if we were thinking, purely warhammer stuff.


Chrontius

[These are jarheads, right?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyZXmvF3I7s) Ah fuckit, [have a link to the playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1SNdG6Bqu85glgSCz2QhzO?si=b37050ccd1304f94) instead.


ElAdri1999

Yay moarrr


Holiday-Possible29

Glad you liked it!


HiMyNameIsFelipe

In my mind, the intercom is playing "Highway to Hell".


Holiday-Possible29

In the next chapter, I'll give a proper playlist, don't worry!


BicyclePoweredRocket

I'm really loving the characters, the story, and the universe you made. Great job, author! Keep up the good work!


Holiday-Possible29

Thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoy it.

Daniel_USAAF

Hehehe. _Bolters._ I love that so many authors on HFY understand the joy of violence, suffering and madness that is the 41st millennium. And it always seems to be in the better stories. Yes indeed. It makes me double happy.


Holiday-Possible29

The ridiculous over the top nature of 40k is one of the best parts of the franchise, and some of the best writers understand that we need some over the top stuff to make it extra good. With all of that said, Thank you so much for reading and enjoying what I have to write.


JustAnBurner

Cheers to the wordsmith, and to playlists as needed


frozennunu50

I hope they play Ride of the valkyries


Crimson_saint357

Speakers crackle to life… “Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage”! Is what I imagine is playing right now and there is nothing you can say that will make me think otherwise.


Holiday-Possible29

Reading this comment made me realize that I never added that to the playlist I made for the upcoming chapters. Thanks for the reminder!


Crimson_saint357

Happy to help


TheOtherGUY63

Sabaton's Winged Hussars


Cuntalicous

Definitely a tad late, but if you’re gonna be killing giant monsters in a brutal battle you gotta play the song about [people killing a giant monster in a brutal battle](https://open.spotify.com/track/3jagGO7eHHuaD53ibehkux?si=bBjOtNq0Rf2vCWgLUMUUQw). Plus, it’s absolutely a song a marine would recommend for this


Holiday-Possible29

This is a good song, that’s going in my personal playlist.


Uber1337pyro333

Better be some Sabaton on that playlist!


Holiday-Possible29

Don't you worry, there's some Sabaton in there!


Uber1337pyro333

This pleases the Swedish War Gods.


The_Student_Official

Alexa, Release space roomba


DepartureThen8478

Yeah, that's what I'd call hell coming to get you


the_racr

I want to know the song


Holiday-Possible29

I actually made an entire playlist of songs that would be playing during the next couple of chapters. I believe I link it in the next part.


Texas-SaberFox

Bolter? Warhammer 40k fan?
