And just then, the fyrst of the tremors hits.

A great shattering blast rocks the earth, far more powerful than a normal earthquake. The fighting soldiers, unable to withdraw from their combat, are crushed beneath falling ramparts of rockrete and metal, the outer sections of the hive burst and break. Thousands die nearly immediately...

A mysterious psychic beacon echoes from Alexis Alpha, heard by all psykers nearby, and momentarily disrupts the Tyranids cohesion.

On Alexis Ceta, the Cyro-Aldyraxian forces have marshalled and stand ready, their small fleet of elite, if small, stealth-warships ready to engage. But as of yet, they have not begun to attack... Biding their time for the true threat to become apparent.

High up above the orbit of Alexis Beta, the Nightkeeper feels the tremor in some deep part of him, the psychic beacon echoing through his soul warns him that his misgivings were correct. Something about the situation was not as it seemed. Silently, without a word, the Soulstealer takes a full 30 Chaosborne terminators on board a warship and travels towards Alexis Alpha. At the same time, Celvaeriu and 50 mirror knights do the same, drawn to the sands of that empty planet to investigate the source of the beacon.
