this is part one and two of my new short sniper; code name mr. T
enjoy, C+C welcome.


Cage lifted his long las into place, clearing the scope with a piece of his shirt. He had done this many times throughout the day, slight movements after repositioning himself throughout the ruins. Before every mission he would set his aids to work gathering maps, data and reports about the location, so far it had proved successful. He now wore around his neck the imperial dog tags of over fifty imperial officers. Back at his base was a well concealed cache of weapons, armour, and specialized equipment, along with all the necessary rounds taken from his kills. As he looked through the scope he saw a sentry smoking a lho-stick. He pulled the trigger back on his weapon and saw the guardsman’s head explode in a bright red haze. Another guardsman had ran up to see what had happened, but it was to late, cage had already reloaded and in the blink of an eye the guardsman fell, clutching a fist sized wound emanating from his chest more and more screamed as they were killed by the snipers perfect control on his gun. As the junior officer in command of the outpost fell cage knew there were none left. He immediately leapt from his hiding spot and jogged over to his kills his cameoline instantly changing to make him near impossible to see as it swirled behind him. The grey chimera followed its crew packing up the camo-netting, while fellow rebels jumped from the rear hatch, racing to help cage loot the dead. As cage hopped down into the trench he immediately ripped the dog tags from around the junior officer’s neck as well as his watch. He then dug through the mans pockets and found a holo-slate which he stored in his satchel. When his troopers had reached them he said “two of you follow me, the rest, take their armour and anything else you think we can use and load it onto the chimera, then wait for our return.” As cage said this they all made silent indications that they understood. With that settled cage turned and headed towards the bunkers control building. When he was inside he and his two men gathered up the holo-slates and pieces of information that were there and ran to the chimera. Once inside cage lifted the vox to his mouth and said “mortar team one fire in t-minus two minutes, tear that lifeless ball of junk to shreds.” A reply immediately answered his command “yes sir.” As the chimera rolled away from the killing spot and as cage saw the mortar shells light the bunker up, turning it intro an inferno cage thought silently to himself “make that fifty-one.”

Cage chapter two


“Frag that imperial scum!!” Said cage as he clipped his silver brooch hooking his cameo-cloak together around his neck. His dog tags glittered in the early morning light, the breeze flowing through his hair as he sat on the balcony. Over the course of the three weeks since his last kill in the field, the imperial civilian defense forces had been pushing Cage’s rebels farther into the city. This was not necessarily a bad thing, as the rebel forces could then fortify the inner sanctum and defend from there but cage and his men now had no retreat path, as they were being surrounded as was clearly evident by the skittering of the imperial PDF shifting through each of the bombed out buildings like ants, and to make matters worse the enemy had set up basilisks and leman russ’s and were pounding the rebel position

Then it hit him like a block of cerimite as he watched a basilisk shell impact on the ground below him seeing the cover of manhole fly into the air before clanging hard to the ground, the sewers! If cage could get his men through the sewers, then they could establish a base outside the hive city and conduct raids onto the rear of the enemy lines. If cage’s men could silence, or better yet steal, some of those basilisks and enemy Armour cage could form an enemy column while pounding the forward walls of the hive and they could capture the space port and hijack imperial aircraft and get out of this hellhole and rouse the whole sub-sector to join his army. Then the rebellion could defend their position and kill any who try to invade. He knew the other planetary governors would agree with him, as they hated imperial rule.


Cage then turned from his glorious thoughts and turned to one of his aids.
“Please tell Krieger I want to talk with him.” He said, the dazed aid replied fast.
“Yes sir, right away.” The aid rushed out to grab Krieger from the hall
Krieger was Cages veteran sniper. Although the snipers worked by themselves at Cage’s behest, Cage had appointed his most prosperous student the title of veteran sniper sergeant. Cage himself personally trained all of the snipers in his army, as Cage only accepted the best.

As Krieger walked in from the hall, the aid with a red face behind him, Cage could see they’d had an argument. Krieger saluted. Cage found this irritating, they were both rebels, they did not have to act like the fragging imperials.
“Damn Krieger, stop that!!” Cage yelled, “How many times do I have to tell you! Were rebels, we are not going to act like those fragging imperials!!”
“Sorry sir, I did not mean to, it’s just nature to me. Besides that if it caused you any hardship I know I can’t do anything so yeah, I’m sorry.” Said Krieger.
“Never mind then, but gather the veterans, and tell them to bring themselves here in full wargear. I have a special mission for you.”
“ Right away sir!” replied Krieger in a loud voice.
With that Krieger walked out of the room to complete his orders. Then Cage turned his attention on his aid.
“Well, it’s been a busy morning, and it’s going to get even more busy. Bring up our siege engineer sergeant, and tell him to walk in with Krieger and his men.” Said Cage.
“Yes my lord, I hope your plan comes to glorious fruition.” Said the aid as he left.
“I hope so to, my friend, I hope so to.” Said cage as he drifted into sleep sitting in his comfortable chair, the battle still raging in front of him.
