The violence on the dark side of Hexis escalated as 03.019M42 progressed. The Sisters of Quartz arrived after the Federacy showed no signs of pushing any further into the catacombs. Worried that the forces of chaos would find the necron artefact behind the energy signatures, the eldar first had to overcome a squad of skittarii who were guarding a new adeptus mechanicus expedition intent on investigating the distant ruins. The Sisters charged the Mechanicum force, overwhelming them and gaining access to the inner chambers.
Down below, the Sisters of Quartz soon encountered the Majnun Medjai in the catacombs, and a violent and bloody encounter ensued. The Sisters managed to push forward and hold key objectives, but they were soon pinned down and struggling to extricate themselves from the situation. After hours of fighting the Sisters were forced to pull back, unable to dislodge the Thousand Sons warband. Reluctantly the eldar harlequins decided to investigate elsewhere, and hopefully deal with the chaos interlopers later.
Deeper in the underground ruins, amidst the crumbling tunnels and warren of passageways, the harlequins found an even more frightening threat. Lurking deep beneath the ground the tyranids infested the passageways. The Sisters of Quartz charged, but the aliens proved a difficult enemy. Despite their acrobatic ability, the eldar warriors struggled to deal with the horde of hormagaunts, backed up by Tyranid warriors and a lictor. Once again the eldar were driven off, forced to look for alternative passages towards the centre of the necron maze.
