(just as the refugees begin to group together so they can head towards the city, a large warp rift opens up near the planet, & a large fleet of ships emerges from it. While not those of Wartek, they are those of Sakro, & before anyone can react, the Alpha Legion overrides the vox networks & communication systems of the main fortress & flagship. Before the assmbled commanders, including Avian, Sakro appears in profile on a large screen in the fortress, & delivers a message to them.)

Sakro: Greetings lapdogs of the dead Emperor! I see that you are well prepared for the coming storm that is en-route even as I speak! Yet I have seen the fleet of your foe personally, & I know that you will need all the help you can get! (he spreads his arms wide as he speaks) In the name of the Hydra, the Alpha Legion is giving you salvation!

You are probably wondering why I am aiding you, especially considering I have personally claimed the lives of so many of your brothers. Well think of it like this Avian. If we - yes, 'we' - do not try to stop Vulture now, while he is still tied to this plane of reality, then there will be nothing left in this reality worth saving. So let us unite! The Eagle & the Hydra shall claim a mighty victory this day if we do so! You have one hour to make your decision. Make it a wise one, as you shall not get a second chance, 'Eagle'...

Meanwhile, on Tartarus...

(I continue to charge across the tortured ground, though the bloodletters are not slacking their pace. I vault over a boulder & careen around a cluster of larger rocks before pausing to take in the view before me. There, less than a mile ahead of me, is my goal. A vast edifice, a temple in fact, stands alone, where all around it are the ruined structures that existed on Tartarus before the warp storm. The really unusual thing about it though is where it is, as it is in the exact location where I ascended to daemonhood, all those years ago...)

Hmmm, I appear to have some powerful supporters then. Clearly, I am greatly favoured by the Dark Pantheon...
