Mondo and his lieutenants have marched through the depths of the Vault, awakening and taking over the Sautekh Dynasty’s warriors the whole way. As they drew close to the heart of the Vault, resistance intensified, but they were able to push through with a small force. There, an acolyte of the Silent King has been toiling to unlock secrets lost to the Necrons since before the Great Sleep. Mondo wants these secrets for himself, but he must first defeat the acolyte’s sturdy Destroyer Cult bodyguards.

Thanks to their Tomb Sentinels, The Machine Empire has delved deep into the Storm Lord’s vault on Baed-shetah. Although their hearts are iron, Mondo and Machinia feel they will find at least some small vengeance in the depths of the vault, if not clues to the cure they seek. Clearly, the Vault held something of import, and the Machine Empire would have it, whatever it may be.

The Machine Empire has been investigating the location of Trazyn and whatever of the Storm Lord’s libraries exist throughout the galaxy. Mondo has been marginally successful at unearthing waystones which have led him to a small T’au outpost on a largely nondescript world on the outskirts of Ultramar. The little world had many more names than its limited importance would normally warrant, but it had changed hands many times over the aeons. To the Necrontyr, it was called Baed-shetah.
