This whole Genabackis campaign has been a disaster from start to finish and the fall of Pale is just one more failure in a whole long list. Yes the city has fallen and the enemy has been routed but at what cost? The entire Bridgeburners division was nearly lost. For three years they mined the walls of Pale while the siege dragged on. When the final assault came they were ordered into the tunnels by direct Imperial order. The tunnells collapsed killing hundreds and trapping the rest.
Imperial conspiracy or just incompetence? It doesn’t really matter.
This is the sory of one squad of desperate marines trapped beneath the crumblings walls of an ancient city built on even older ruins. This is the story of how they survived, of what they found in those twisting passageways and of what they learned about themselves.
