Ok Iron Panda heres your 500pt mission and also your setup to enter the campaign.
Humanity has spread across the solar system. Its footprint on every planet, But there are still places.
Dark places.
That man holds no claim.
the Martian moon Phobos ...
On the top of the citadel the naked body of the bleeding prophet sways back and forth. Blood pours freely from the stigmata across his chest, Chanting wildly he reaches out to the Dark soul in unholy communion.
...First the pain, always the pain.
the bleeding prophet screams from the agony of this foul union.
...and in the minds eye of the prophet... the visions come.
The Legion marches in victory across the planets of man. Corrupting the solar system in its own image. From Poison sky to diseased earth, the very soul of humanity lost as the children of Adam are forced to kneel before its new master. The Dark Soul.
then the image pauses and in that quiet moment between seconds a blinding white light.
Where the light hits necrorganic flesh is turned to dust
Where the light hits legions of acolytes burn within, A inner blue fire leaving nothing but a charred corpse behind.
Where the light hits the foul beasts of dark symmetry of forever banished to the deepest void.
A new feeling overcomes him, greater then the pain. It is the feeling of un-easiness, of dread, dare he even think it..fear.
The vision changes to mars. Mind's eye of the prophet fly's though the Martian landscape stopping at a hidden base. There stands a long haired man surrounded by....Cartel agents.
The dark soul withdraws from the prophet's mind and when the pain fades away he slowly awakens in pool of his own blood and urine. Knowing what must be done.He must make the Warlords gather their legions, sent them out in a new Black Crusade. What this great power is that gives even the dark soul pause must be stop and thanks to the visions he knows where to start.
The Bleeding prophet turns his eyes towards mars as it rise over Phobos horizon.
Sorry its bit long but it sets up all kinds of scenarios.
*************************************************************************
The Bleeding prophet has had vision. It shows The Legion winning its war over man but at the moment of victory a white event happens destorying everything that has been touch by the dark soul.
He believes that man has discovered a new power that not even the dark soul can stop it. He also believes that this discovery happen at a remote location on mars. He most locate this power and stop man from ever having it.
