The failure of the Imperial assault on the Excavation Site came as a bitter blow to general Veers and all the operational commanders involved. The entire area had been almost completely levelled, and the surface of the world was a ruined and battered landscape. The sheer amount of storm eagle rockets fired would have seen off most enemies, but the Ynnari had not been removed. The Imperium hadn't even been able to sever the eldar supply line to Bymarsh thanks to the intervention of the eldar air wing, and now Veers knew it was only a matter of time before the eldar would be able to switch off and steal the necron device, plunging the Imperium into a new crisis in the Perseus Deeps.
This outcome had to be prevented at any cost. Now Veers turned to the astartes and implored them to retake the device chamber. The activated necron artefact holding open the Foramen Interdictum and the centre of bitter wars since 017M42 could not now be allowed to fall into aeldari hands.
