The Corvus Blackstar touched down upon the red soil of Arthon V. An elite kill team of ten Space Marines, clad in the black ceramite armor of the Deathwatch, marched out of the transport and into the depths of the Necron tomb world. The darkness was illuminated by a pulsing green light that lit the narrow hallways of the tomb.

The kill team found themselves at a split, separating into three squads of two, one squad of three, and leaving the squad lead to explore a level of the tomb alone.

Descending further into the tomb and making his way through the few Necron Warriors and Scarabs who had awoken, he found himself face to face with three glowing green oculuses before the figure of a Necron Geomancer was fully revealed.

"Fascinating... a warrior, alone in the tomb." the Necron spoke, her voice metallic but smooth all the same. She took a few steps closer, the tension between the Astartes and the Necron palpable. "I do not wish to fight... yet. Merely I would wish to inquire... who are you... and why are you here?"
