Space Marine Campaign Remake - Retribuition
Greetings. I know it has been a at least two years since the release of Retribution. And I fairly say that I was extremely disappointed with the Space Marine campaign in Retribution after two relatively good and compelling stories in the first two Dawn of War II campaigns. So I decided upon myself to rewrite the Space Marine campaign keeping some characters and the storyline from the original campaign, but mostly fusing the campaign to complete the trilogy campaign that should have been for Dawn Of War II - Retribution. Maybe by a long shot someone at Relic or Games Workshop will catch a hold of this and make this canon, however doubtful, or some experienced mod/map maker can make this into a third party campaign. However, here it goes....

(3) Thaddeus
(4) Cyrus
(5) Captain Angelos

(Antagonists)

Storyline: Ulkair has been slain. The Force Commander’s strike team is awaiting extraction. The Chapter Honor Guard’s drop pods drop in the keep and confront the strike team for disobeying the orders of Chapter Master Chief Librarian Kyras.
Honor Guard Terminator Isidius: For disobeying the Chapter Master’s direct orders to not engage the Black Legion in the Auerlian sector and not to affiliate yourself with the renegade Captain Angelos, the Chapter Master has declared you renegade and traitor of the Blood Ravens chapter.
Captain Angelos: We do not obey the orders of a heretical chapter master Isiduis!
Honor Guard Terminator Isidious: Then suffer the wages of your treason!
(Firefight ensues, once the honor guard contingent is defeated, Captain Angelos parts ways with the Strike Team)
Captain Angelos: Commander, I must withdraw to the Battle Barge Litany of Fury, and make contact with an Inquisitor in a nearby sector to inform of the coming blood in this sector. Head to the extraction point with your strike team and withdraw from the sector. Little more is able to be done here.
(The commander and the strike team fight through remaining Black Legion defenses to reach the extraction point, upon arrival to the extraction point they are met with a heavily armored Avitus that is intent on stopping the extraction)
Avitus: Brothers! You served your little justice on Ulkair, but now you kill your own Chapter brothers. Pathetic! And you are the ones to call ME traitor! Blood for the blood God!
Tarkus: Do not call us brothers, filth. Your turn coating betrayal to the Emperor and our chapter will lead to your death and eternal suffering in the warp! Your death the second time will please the Emperor that much more.(Fight ensues, once Avitus health is down to 20%, Captain Diomedes enters)
Avitus: Captain Diomedes.. what a pleasant surprise. Still being the Chapter Master Kyras’ squelching rooster?
Captain Diomedes: The only squelching to be done here Avitus is when you are pleading for your life on your knees in defeat.
Avitus: (Hmmf!) Your vanity will be your downfall.
(Duel ensues between the two, with Captain Diomedes delivering the kill blow with his weapon)
Captain Diomedes: One less braggart amongst the legions of Chaos.
Captain Diomedes: Commander, you must listen to Captain Angelos and withdraw from the sector. Your strike team can remain with me, and I will conduct a campaign of cleansing of the Black Legion from the Auerlian sector.
(Force Commander extracts one way, Captain Diomedes remains with the strike team, screen turns to black and forwards ten years into the Auerlian sector)

Chapter 2: Whispers of the Dead
Setting – 10 years after the battle at the Auerlain Keep the sector has been thrown into civil war with Imperial Guards men siding with either loyalists or traitors. Kyras goes bolder by the second and sends in his Honor Guard Regiment to Argus Settlement to destroy his vox recordings with Avitus on Kronus and Typhon.
Pre-Mission Recording:
Captain Angelos: Captain Diomedes. It is now known, that the Inquisition is on its way to conduct exterimatus on the remaining planets of this sector. All is not lost however… , I have made contact with an agent of the Inquisition. Her name is Inquisitor Adrastia and has heard my story on the taint that Chapter Master Kyras has brought to this chapter. She has agreed that if we bring in sufficient evidence on Kyras’ corruption, that she will be able to stop the exterimantus from occurring,
Captain Diomedes: Then what is our first move then?
Captain Angelos: Chapter Master Kyras is now aware of our resistance and is taking the necessary steps to remove any evidence of his association to Chaos, for reasons that I do not know. What is known, is that he has sent his Honor Guard Captain, Captain Phalanx to Argus Settlement to destroy evidence of a vox conversation between Kyras and Avitus on Kronus and Typhon. You are to prevent this.
Tarkus: And the dead will come for you too…

Storyline: (Captain Diomedes strike team drops in and is greeted immediately by the Honor Guard Captain)
Captain Phalanx: Chapter Master Kyras send his salutations to your brother Diomedes! He wishes to know if you care in joining this glorious slaughter of the civilian lickspittles of Argus. So would you do me the honor brother? And let the blood moisten this dry desert?
Captain Diomedes: Such a salutation from Chapter Master Kyras is impossible. The only thing I see here is your weak feeble mind giving into the powers of chaos to fulfill your blood lusts.
Captain Phalanx: Ha ha ha, so I guess your blood will have to water the desert too naïve one.
Captain Diomedes: The only naivety I see here is your fighting ability.
(Mission Begins)
(Strike team fights Captain Phalanx and defeats him)
Captain Diomedes: Another treasonous Blood Raven suffers the wages of his sins!
Captain Phalanx: Ha ha ha ha. You think my death has saved your sector? Chapter Master Kyras had this all planned out. (Detonates the building with the vox transmissions) So much for your inquisitorial evidence… ha h(dies).
Captain Diomedes: Another traitor dealt with.
Cyrus: But the transmissions have been destroyed. We must head back to the Retribuition to beat Chapter Master Kyras’ next move.
Captain Diomedes: You mean to report the lies that are spreading about him?
Cyrus: Are you really that arrogant and foolhardy? Chapter Master Kyras is the one responsible for the events on Auerlia. He is the one responsible for Avitus’ betrayal. And now he is responsible for the slaying of civilians here on Argus settlement. And you still support him?
Captain Diomedes: And has there been any real evidence, besides speculation of his heresy? No! So we repo….
Captain Angelos: Captain Diomedes, have your strike team extract to the Retribuition, Chapter Master Kyras with his honor guard is leading an assault on Spire City in Meridian to convince the Imperial Guardsmen to treason there.
Captain Diomedes (To himself): Impossible.

Captain Diomedes: Kyras?
Thaddeus: Where? Where is he?
Chapter Master Kyras: Yes DIomedes, it is I. Your Chapter Master. The work you have done with these traitors is commendable, but now you must assist in clearing out the last remnants of the traitors within the Spire.
Captain Diomedes: To think of me a fool.. to think of me of as a puppet is foolish in itself. Your time is nearing to an end Kyras and the extent of your heresy has now shown your true colors. The only retribution here is your death.

Governor Derosa: Thank you Captain Diomedes for once again supporting the people of Meridian in these hours of darkness. And as for Vandis, Tarkus, his defeat here has limited his assets and I am able to use my own now to locate him, before he escapes.
Captain Diomedes: Send the location when you know. Vandis maybe our very last gateway to obtaining evidence for the Inquistor. (End scene)

Traitor Governor Vandis: So is your sectors.
( Vandis breaks contact after his second line is defeated)

Thaddeus: Capt….
Captain Diomedes: So be it Vandis, where is Kyras’ whereabouts?
Traitor Governor Vandis: I knew you would be reasonable unlike your brash youngling there. Kyras is currently located on Typhon, he is leading the Black Legion and his Space Marines on a Eldar slaughtering party. I take it now I have my freedom?
Thaddeus: CAPT…
Captain Diomedes: Calm yourself Thaddeus. Governor Vandis has given us Kyra’s location and in return I give him his freedom from heresy.
Traitor Governor Vandis: NO.. WAIT! (The traitor governor is felled with one bolter shot)
Captain Diomedes: Remember Thaddeus, the only deal that we give to traitors is their death and nothing more. We head to Typhon now to deal with the betrayer and corrupter of our chapter. (End Mission)

Elwene: (Sighs) Regardless the outcome then… the consequences will bear for the living and the dead.
(Elwene along with her war band is defeated by the Strike team)

Pre-Mission Recording: The hour is dark Captain Diomedes’.. but it will only grow darker if Kyras is not brought to retribution. I have received reports of a contingent of traitor Imperial Guardsmen working with Black Legion (maybe a Thousand Sons?) advisors. They are building a mass warp gate to send Chaos reinforcements by the thousands.

Cyrus: Captain, are locator system has been cut off and we are unable to pinpoint the location of the manticore position. We must rendezvous with Librarian Jonah and use his psychic abilities to locate that position.
(First objective of map: Rendezvous with Jonah Oriah)
(After fighting through heavily fortified Imperial Guard positions, they meet with Jonah)
Jonah Oriah: Captain Diomedes. Captain Angelos has sent me to assist you in dealing with the Chaos Sorcerer on planet Auerlia. What tricks he has up his sleeve is little known, but what is known is that he works directly for Abaddon.
Thaddeus: Abaddon the despoiler?
Jonah Oriah: Yes Thaddeus. And we must deal with this threat directly, before we can settle our accounts with Kyras.
Captain Diomedes: Enough of history. We must take out that manticore position if any progress is to be made.
Jonah Oriah: Of course. I know the location of the position. They are led by the traito Commissar Dylus.
(They move to the manticore position through fighting, defeating the remnants of the traitor guardsmen and their traitor commissar)
Chaos Sorcerer Nemroth: Ahhhh… The eternally cursed Blood Ravens. Will your misery ever stop?
Captain Diomedes: You all mock us. But the result is the same. Over and over again. You all die.
Chaos Sorcerer Nemroth: Ahhhh… yes, but planet Auerlia is no longer yours. It has been made home to the Chaos Black Legion. And soon… it will be a foothold for legion upon legion of the Black Legion to descend upon the Auerlia sector and taint it with the power of Chaos!
Jonah Oriah: What little grasp your legion has ends here today sorcerer.
(The strike team moves to the sorcerers position, and deals with the third objective, destroying the Chaos Sorcerer and his shrines)
Chaos Sorcerer Nemroth: (Dying sounds) Your efforts have been for naught Blood Ravens. The warp gate will soon open and your little team of stubbornness will be mere Chaos ornaments.
(The fourth and final objective comes into play,[timed objective] the strike team has to battle its way to the warp gate against the Black Legion. When they reach it only small pockets are beginning to spew out, they defeat any resistance, and proceed to destroy the warp gate)
Martellus: Captain Diomedes, I thought you lost in the extinction of Typhon. The destruction of the warp gate has reestablished communication with the Retribution. However, it is too far to direct teleport onboard the Retribution. You must teleport to the Judgement of Carrion and get to the logic engine in order to teleport from there to the Retribution.

Tarkus: No need to tell us Librarian. The foul stench residing here is all we need.

Cyrus: Tyranid wave! Incoming!

(The Tyranid wave is beaten back)

Thaddeus: Ha ha ha! Just like beating the Tyranids in the Battle of Typhon!

Captain Diomedes: Do not mention that name again Thaddeus! Have some respect for the innocents lost to the plans of the heretic! I will not have such dark humor in my stead. I should have you ex….

Jonah Oriah: ENOUGH CAPTAIN! I feel for your sympathy for the loss of your home world… but to bring out your rage against Thaddeus? Is there not enough dissension and blood within our chapter?

Thaddeus: Typhon… was your home world Captain?

Captain Diomedes: Yes.

Thaddeus: My… my apologies Captain.. I did not..

Captain Diomedes: There is no undoing what is Sergeant Thaddeus. The only thing is to kill the mutant…. Burn the heretic… purge the unclean. No need to apologize brother.. our intentions are the same.

Cyrus: Another Tyranid wave! To our 9 o’ clock!

(Second Tyranid wave is beaten off)

Cyrus: Now is not the time for the reminiscing of the past Captain! We wait your orders!

Captain Diomedes: You are right Cyrus.. we move out.

(A Tyranid wave now occurs every four minutes until the logic engine is reached, once the logic engine is reached, a massive Tyranid wave comes from the logic engine)

Thaddeus: That should be the last of them.

Cyrus: Unfortunately not. We have only covered a small part of the ship. We best hurry and reactivate the power coupling before more hurry.

Jonah Oriah: Captain Diomedes.. I sense a strong psychic presence in the communication room. I will go investigate, while you activate the power coupling for our escape.

(Jonah Oriah heads off to the communication room and the remainder of the strike team holds off a few more Tyranid waves for 5 minutes. Jonah Oriah returns after that given time.)

Jonah Oriah: Captain Diomedes… I have found a stored vox dialogue between Kyras and Galan from centuries ago and I fear this does not bear good news for the Auerlian sector.

Captain Diomedes: We will hear it aboard the Retribution. We must get off this cursed ship before we are overrun.
(End Mission)
(Back at the start screen)
Tarkus: What is this dialogue you speak of Jonah?
Jonah Oriah: I fear that Azariah Kyras, plans to use the Inquisition’s Exterminatus as a sacrifice to Khorne. He intends to let the sector burn.
Captain Diomedes: What?!
Jonah Oriah: Do not sound in disbelief Captain and listen.
(Enters dialogue)
Apothecary Galan: Azariah.. our return to the Auerlian sector is soon. How do we intend to conceal our intentions to our loyalist brothers?
Azariah Kyras: It is simple. We do nothing.
Apothecary Galan: Nothing?
Azariah Kyras: Yes nothing. I have bargained with the demon Ulkair. When the time is right… I will issue a stand down to all Blood Ravens when he rots away the Auerlian sector and experiments with Grandfather Nurgles plagues. Then in time… when the sector is in Chaos… the Inquisition will come and conduct Exterminatus on the sector.
Apothecary Galan: But what of your end of the deal?
Azariah Kyras: Ulkair has allowed me to speak with an demon of Khorne. They have mentioned that one of their greater daemons has been trapped by the Eldar in a stone in the Maledictum on Tartarus. We unleash this daemon from its prison by using our own loyalist brothers. And in turn I sacrifice the Auerlain sector to take its form. (End transmission)
Captain Diomedes: All these years… our Chapter’s roots have been taking in the tainted… corrupted… water of Chaos. THIS… WILL.. NOT… STAND!!!
Cyrus: But with the location of Kyras unknown.. we are running out of time.
(Enter Captain Angelos via vox)
Captain Angelos: I maybe of some help.
Captain Diomedes: It is good to hear your voice again brother, what news you bring.
Captain Angelos: The news that I bring is that one that neither turns the tide for us Diomedes. But it is one that puts us in a position to do so. I have received reports from our scouts at Calderis, that a Blood Raven contingent returning to Kyras’ have been ambushed by a sizeable Ork force in the desert. If we are able to recover the loot that these Orks gained from these Blood Ravens. We will have Kyras’ location.
Thaddeus: Will this vox recording not be enough to stop the Exterminatus Captain?
Captain Angelos: I thought so as well Thaddeus, but Typhon exterminated. The Inquistion has now given us one option. To bring Kyras’ head or to have the entire Blood Ravens Chapter judged heretical and treasonous. (End transmission)

Martellus: Captain Ar… amus… los…ing… comm… tion…. You… are… on.. own… (white static)
Tarkus: We are blind… we will have to navigate through this ship an find Ezikiel without technological assistance.
(There is no star on map to indicate Ezikiel’s position, the player must navigate through the ship and find the traitor themselves.)
Sergeant Norvgod: There is an ancient enemy presence aboard here… one that dates back to the days before the Great Civil War…. I can feel it..
Cyrus: Contact… to our six…
Thaddeus: Chaos Marines… where did they come from?
(Firefight has ended)
Thaddeus: What are Chaos Marines doing aboard the Omnis Arcanum?
Sergeant Norvgod: Those were Thousand Sons legionnaires… perhaps I should be asking you… what they are doing here… Blood Raven…
Thaddeus: ARE YOU…
Tarkus: Enough! Both of you! Questions and speculations come after we kill the enemy… not when we are in the midst of them.
Cyrus: Contact.. to our nine… more of them….
(Firefight ends)
Tarkus: This is odd… we fight Thousand Sons… but I have yet to see a single traitor of our Chapter onboard…. It must be a trap…
Captain Aramus: A trap… most likely no… it seems that the Thousand Sons.. seem to be covering our former brothers escape… but to where…
(Explosions start throughout the ship and small warp rifts start opening up…)
Martellus: The energy shield is down for the Omnis Arcanum… sending in reinforcements to deep strike….
Captain Aramus: Martellus.. do the Retribution’s scanner indicate of any psychic build up that is above average?
Martellus: Only one location Captain… it is occurring on the main deck of the ship… sending coordinates to you now.
(Star reappears on the map)
Tarkus: We must go there now…our reinforcements will deal with any traitors trying to flank us.
(While advancing to the main deck, the fighting intensifies, Blood Ravens teleport striking to counter act waves of the Thousand sons, while the main party heads towards the main deck.

Sergeant Norvgod: I WILL RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE YOU VENEMOUS SNAKE! (Charges towards Ahriman)
Sorcerer Ahriman: A typical reaction… such as the blind reasoning the Space Puppies used on Prospero! (Initiates a psychic blast that sends everyone flying and sets up a warp shield that separates the protagonists from the antagonists)
Sergeant Norvgod: You run from fighting coward!
Sorcerer Ahriman: Not at all Norvgod. Tell Bjorn the Fell Handed.. that the Thousand Sons will visit him soon… that is if that old rag can wake from his slumber… ha ha ha ha ha.(Ezikiel heads through the Warp Gate)
Sergeant Norvgod: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.. (Charges the warp shield and breaks through it, but Ahriman teleports to the warp gate)
Sorcerer Ahriman: See you soon… brother… (Disappears into the warp)
Tarkus: They escape with the blood of Thaddeus unavenged. Their deaths will be our Retribuition.
Sergeant Norvgod: You will have no hand in their deaths Blood Ravens… their blood is owed to the Space Wolves and the Space Wolves alone.
Captain Aramus: You think your place to tell an entire Chapter to disengage from a common enemy? Know your place sergeant!
Sergeant Norvgod: Hmmmf… I know well enough of the traitors of your chapter that I have seen…. I know well enough of your “psychic” talents… which is more of a curse then a talent. I know well enough brother…. The love that your traitor brothers have for their saviors from the Thousand Sons.
Captain Aramus: ENOUGH! We fought the great enemy together and forced them to fall back. And now you accuse us of heresy and witchery? I will have no more words with you Sergeant, you are dismissed from the Auerlian sector… feel free to report back to your chapter. But choose your words carefully brother…..

Captain Aramus: Cyrus…. Report to Master Angelos that we have captured the Omnis Arcanum and are ready to use Holy Rites of the Inquistion to remove the stain of corruption upon this ship.
Cyrus: Of course Captain. Anything else?
Captain Aramus: No. I will now go to meet with Master Angelos after your report and discuss the events of that happened aboard here.
