Sorry if I sounded stroppy earlier. I've been pretty deprived of sleep for the past few days.

Thanks Shas. & Danny, I was expecting a confrontation to be honest, but with Avian, as this IS right beneath the main fortress. You do not even have to teleport, as you can just run through the corridors

So, carrying on from when Sakro walks into the chamber...

(far to the east of the fortress, away from the prying eyes of the Imperials, Undivided, Necrons, or Tau, a vast fleet of landing craft rush down to the surface, where they deploy a huge number of stolen breaching drills, termites, & similar underground vehicles, though all of them have been modified for Astartes use, & are being crewed by over a hundred of the loaned Space Marines, along with several hundred servitors. The vehicles burrow deep underground, undetectable by scanners or sensory units, making their way towards the chamber, which is quickly having the gene-seed removed from the walls in preparation for their arrival. Given the sheer amount of it though, the five warriors have only managed to remove a couple of hundred gene-seed before the enormous drill of a termite emerges from the stone floor in a shower of earth & rock. It is an occurence that is repeated all over the chamber, as more of the vehicles emerge from the ground, disgorging their contigent of Astartes & servitors, which all contribute to the removal of the gene-seed, & which is loaded onto the burrowing vehicles, along with Vaelek's body. When full, they go back through their pre-made tunnels & emerge back at the landing site, where their precious cargo is loaded aboard the landers, & sent to the cruisers & barge in orbit. When they have unloaded their cargo onto the ships, they return back to the landing site to repeat the process anew, just as the vehicles return to the chamber to retrieve more cargo. But there is simply so much of it, that it will be at least several hours before the chamber can be completely stripped.)

Note: Within that space of time, I would be surprised if there was no conflict. As I have no doubts that the Imperials would have worked out that something was going on beneath their very own fortress (just nothing too vast, & I'm sure Avian has more important things to do, so he might send someone whom Sakro has gotten very well acquainted with over the campaign)...
