The game was quite thought/horror inducing.
You did very well with this.
Honora Imperator
So we've got ourselves a Scout Lugo, a Devastator Adams, and one very mentally questionable Brother-Captain Walker? Nice.
How would the Ultramarines handle such a debacle? Well, the operation would probably be scrapped but I think there would be an examination of where the Intel was acquired from and the higher points of leadership within the Chapter would probably formulate an inquiry on how, who, or where the Intel was gathered from. Possibly asking themselves if the entire operation was a conspiracy to squander Adeptus resources, or something more... malevolent. *cough* Chaos *cough*
How would the Space Marines handle it on a personal level?
They would probably carry a measure of bitterness against the operation and ask many of the same questions the Command Inquiry would be asking: Where did the intel come from? Why squander the resources of the Space Marines for a dying mission? Why are we here? Emotionally, the Company used for the mission would probably handle any emotional stress in a manner that is fairly typical to Space Marine's: Channel it toward aggression. As stated in the Codex Astartes, no matter if the mission is a success or a failure, there is always a proceeding objective. Channel your fury into that objective and you will create your own luck.
Space Marines are stalwart warriors. With an operation such as this, their mentality after realizing that the mission is scrapped would simply be this: There is no failure after this. Simply another objective that needs accomplishing.
Where a guardsman despairs, a Space Marine finds strength in his sense of loss and sadness.
Where the Grey Knight feels nothing but faith, the Space Marine feels everything--plus faith. Space Marines are naturally empathetic toward mankind because of there connection to the Emperor, who is likewise connected to mankind as a whole.
"The strength of man is the Emperor, and the Emperor is the strength of man."
No mortal being in the Imperium experiences as much pain on a physical and emotional scale like the Space Marine does. The path to damnation or salvation truly reveals itself when, in these moments of pain and loss, if a Space Marine chooses to carry these emotions without channeling them, or use these emotions to accomplish the objective.
It is why the phrase in the Adeptus Astartes code stresses phrase such, "Let questions rise, but never doubts."
or
"Bless the mind too small for doubt."
When doubt grips any mortals heart, it can only lead to one path: Damnation.
