The chaos forces that set out to the Lysis system were a mixed bunch, but the Black Legion and Alpha Legion managed to put aside their differences under the leadership of Garzoth the Immovable of the Death Guard 1st company, the traitor legion having secured their place as master of chaos in the Hadron Expanse. Even the Iron Warriors, now privy to what was afoot on Hexis sent a squad, under Dominar Horozkah.
The Death Guard were ruthless and single minded in their plan and it’s execution. Land, clear a path to the device chamber then hold onto it, indefinitely if necessary. Upon landing the nurgle devotees quickly subdued a necron attack, while the Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors moved to secure the Grishtar gate. The Dark Angels and Last of Sycorax scouting forces were crushed, while the Death Guard moved through their allied forces in order to secure the centre of the ruined city. Here the Harlequin Sisters of Quartz attempted to oppose and turn back the traitor legion, but the damned astartes of nurgle would not be turned back from their objective. The eldar were brushed aside, and Garzoth the Immovable and his force descended into the chamber holding the device.
In the ruins under the city the Death Guard faced the Primaris marines of the Howling Griffons, but even the imperium‘s newest genetic warriors could not remove the chaos forces, and by the end of 10.018M42 the device and its surrounding chambers had been secured, at least for now, by the Dark Gods. There they learnt the true secrets of the device, and began planning for the next phase. Soon the time would come when the device could be activated once more.
