Cut to Scarrix as he flies above the retreating legions, some look up at him and salute to which he smiles knowing that they will soon experience pure terror. Despite being ordered to strike the legion troops first he orders his underlings to target the auxiliary formations first.

Returning to Kharn on the ground, he is having an internal fight with voices in his head. As the voices ask him why he won't rise and continue he eventually says he fears he won't want to stop. He awakes to find one of Fabius' slaves above him, he immediately grabs its throat and rings the life from it. He feels the nails bite again for the first time giving him a pain he hasn't felt since falling on the ram blades on Isstvan III.
He finds he is surrounded by more of the slaves, he quickly minces them and goes in search of his legion.

Once again Klave is about to leave orbit when Pech quickly tells him to belay the order for a moment. Pech gives the order into his vox - Dionysus.
Aboard the Dracosian, the AL marine activates and orders his Salamander friend to draw his sword then shoots him anyway. He activates explosives which cause the Dracosian to ram right into an IW auxiliary ship. The reactors blow causing both ships to be destroyed.

The report quickly reaches the Catura causing delegatus Grelth to go over to see the details. As Grelth demands an update Pech stands closer to him and knows that Grelth's MK II armour is weak at the ear where the vox bundle is. He blows the brain right out of Grelth and turns to Klave and holsters his pistol. Klave is in shock. Pech immediately tells him to listen and that Horus has orchestrated the entire event as a trap.
