While the hunt for the Foramen Ignotum intensified the Aeldari harlequin troupe the Sisters of Quartz were becoming increasingly worried at the ramifications of lesser ignorant races coming into possession of the necron artefacts that would power the Foramen Ignotum. Worse, the Bahotek Dynasty was showing signs of stirring. The Sisters resolved to prevent the other races from finding the Ignotum, and they would strike using ambush tactics, preserving their meagre forces for precision strikes.
In mid 018M42 the Emerald Serpent were ambushed by the Sisters, who massacred the small force of Thousand Sons investigating a ruined necron complex. Several of the astartes were taken prisoner, but they did not give up theirs secrets willingly. The eldar were unable to discern how much the forces of chaos knew. However, the Traitor Marines were being followed by the Hammers of the Emperor, and the battle with the chaos forces had drawn their attention. The Sisters attempted to follow their normal ambush tactics, but the Hammers were ready for them. After suffering heavy casualties the eldar harlequins withdrew, unable to prevent the loyalist marines from investigating the necron ruins.
