++ VOX-INTERCEPT RECORD: ADEPTUS CUSTODES STRIKE CRUISER AETERNA VIGILIA
++ AUTHORITY: SHIELD-CAPTAIN TYRAN VELERON
++ ENCRYPTION: IMPERIAL SIGMA-ULTIMA // GOLD PRIORITY
++ TIMESTAMP: +6 HOURS AFTER LOSS OF CONTACT WITH BATTLE BARGE PAX INFERNÍS

“This is Shield-Captain Tyran Veleron of the Adeptus Custodes, aboard the Aeterna Vigilía.

Our augurs have intercepted a residual vox beacon emanating from the debris field once corresponding to the Pax Infernís.
The transmission is faint — repeating a fragment of the Sororitas battle hymn ‘Lament of the Redeemed’. No life signs detected.

The wreck drifts within an anomalous distortion — no warp signature, no identifiable propulsion traces. The void around it is… silent.

By the Emperor’s decree, we proceed with utmost caution. Custodian Kill-Team Auric Spear will initiate recovery of sacred relics and genomic remains.

If this was the work of an unseen foe, they possess means beyond xenos or heretic comprehension. The silence itself feels… wrong.

The Daughters of the Emperor fought to the last. Their faith burns even in death.

We will not allow their sacrifice to fade into darkness.”

++ BY THE EMPEROR’S COMMAND, WE STAND WATCH
++ IN HIS NAME, ALL SHADOWS SHALL BE PURGED
