Following the defeat of admiral Enkvist’s fleet on the Hadron Expanse both inquisitor Huron and the admiral had been captured by Vlokarion’s kabal. The dark eldar had quickly moved the valuable Inquisitor Lord to be presented to Lord Vect himself, bringing great esteem to Vlokarion. The Admiral of the Fleet however was kept at a local base and the drukhari got wind of a rescue attempt by the Imperium. Using the Admiral as bait the dark eldar set their own trap. Enkvist was useless to them, but the imperium had information on the Foramen Ignotum. Information Vlokarion was desperate to get his hands on.
The sorcerers of Tzeentch also foresaw the unfolding events, and a small team of Thousand Sons - part of the Emerald Serpent also set out to capture the imperial admiral, in order to learn the secrets of the enemy fleet.
The Emerald Serpent and the imperial special forces attacked the site where the admiral was being held at almost the same time. Irritated by the appearance of the Thousand Sons, the Crimson Blade focussed their efforts first on removing the interlopers, which was successful. Now the imperial forces were dealt with. In the confusion that followed Enkvist managed to escape, but several special ops team members were captured by the Drukhari.
The Crimson Blade didn’t find very much of use from the prisoners, but did learn the location of the imperial investigations in the Hadron Expanse, before turning the captured imperial guardsmen to the Haemonculi.
