An Adeptus Mechanicus-focused Warhammer 40,000 story. Archmagos Dominus Aldren Nevis leads an expedition to a Space Hulk, freshly emerged from the boiling seas of the Warp. As they venture closer and deeper, however, it quickly becomes apparent that all is not what it seems. With an unknown enemy now threatening their total destruction, he and his trusted allies now race against time to strike at the secret within the derelict's ancient heart. What exactly is it that stands in their way? What are its designs with them and their order? There is no answer available in the data-librariums, but if the Quest for Knowledge has its way, there soon will be. Cross-posted on FF.net and AO3.
