_A Remembrancer's Report: The Aeternum Sector - 005.M31_ This is Remembrancer Patrick Stella, transmitting from the depths of Finitum. As loyalist and traitor forces descend into the ancient chambers beneath our city, the true nature of our struggle becomes horrifyingly clear. What began as brother fighting brother has evolved into something far more sinister—a race to control powers that predate humanity itself. The access tunnels to the deep chambers have become killing fields. Both sides have committed their remaining elite forces, understanding that whoever controls these passages will determine not just the fate of Bellatoris Prime, but perhaps the entire sector. [[S1 Session 10 Scores and Results|Technical Notes]] 1. **Northern Access Shaft:** Loyalist Iron Hands held critical tunnel junctions against Space Wolves attempting to breach their defensive positions. What intelligence describes as a "failed assassination attempt" saw the traitor Wolves unable to eliminate the Iron Hands command structure that has been instrumental in coordinating loyalist resistance since the opening shots of this conflict. Most notably, a pack of Space Wolves managed to dog-pile a loyalist Leviathan Dreadnought—while failing to destroy it, they succeeded in neutralizing it as an effective combat asset. The Iron Hands' Armistos proved particularly elusive, evacuating from one damaged vehicle to another while maintaining command coordination. Though neither side achieved their primary objectives, the loyalists successfully prevented traitor access to these critical tunnels. > [!Note] PICT CAPTURE ![[Session 10 Table 1 - 1.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 1 - 2.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 1 - 3.jpeg]] 2. **Central Descent Chamber:** The most catastrophic engagement occurred when Iron Warriors unleashed a Kytan Daemon Engine into the confined spaces beneath Finitum. This abomination of corrupted technology proved devastating against the Emperor's Custodian Guard defending the primary access route. The golden warriors, despite their legendary prowess, found themselves outmatched in the cramped tunnels. Their Captain fell after watching his brothers crushed beneath the daemon engine's massive feet. With this victory, the traitors secured direct access to the deepest chambers where the energy readings continue to spike beyond comprehension. > [!Note] PICT CAPTURE ![[Session 10 Table 2 - 1.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 2 - 2.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 2 - 3.jpeg]] 3. **Southern Maintenance Tunnels:** The White Scars executed a lightning assault against heavily entrenched Geno 3-7 Chiliad positions. Despite prepared defenses including mutant auxiliaries and even a counter-charge by their infamous goat cavalry, the traitor forces could not withstand the Khan's chosen. The Geno commander fell to a precise missile launcher volley, and Jorghan Khan personally led his brothers in sweeping aside all resistance. This victory secured another critical access route for the loyalists, providing a potential path to intercept whatever the traitors seek in the depths. > [!Note] PICT CAPTURE ![[Session 10 Table 3 - 1.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 3 - 4.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 3 - 2.jpeg]] ![[Session 10 Table 3 - 3.jpeg]] With two access routes secured and one lost, the loyalists maintain a tenuous advantage in controlling movement to the deepest chambers. However, the loss of the central descent chamber—the most direct route to whatever lies below—represents a critical blow to our defensive strategy. More concerning are the readings from Magos Deozz's instruments. The energy signatures from the deepest chamber have begun to pulse in a rhythm that he describes as "disturbingly organic." Whatever the traitors' rituals awakened is no mere weapon or artifact—it appears to be something alive, something that has waited in the darkness since before humanity's ancestors looked to the stars. Reports from forward scouts speak of chambers filled with technology that defies understanding—crystalline structures that hum with barely contained power, surfaces covered in symbols that hurt to perceive, and worst of all, the sensation of being watched by something vast and utterly alien. The final battle approaches. Both sides mass their remaining forces for what will surely be the decisive engagement. The traitors seek to fully awaken whatever horror lies in the deepest chamber, while we desperately attempt to prevent an apocalypse that could consume not just Bellatoris, but spread throughout the Aeternum Sector like a cancer. I can feel it now, even from here—a presence pressing against the boundaries of reality, eager to be free. The next hours will determine whether the Emperor's light continues to shine in this corner of the galaxy, or whether we all descend into an eternal darkness from which there is no escape. May the Emperor protect us all. Patrick Stella - Remembrancer #season1 #session10 #Fragments #rr
