The ceremonial chamber erupted into utter bedlam, filling with howls, shrieks and cries of despair. The most acutely perceptive of their number traced the trajectory of the shot and looked up into the darkness of the rafters. The Magus pointed a thin and crooked finger right at Klotec, screeching for his kindred to attack. Stowing his rifle across his back with a practiced motion, the assassin was already moving for the sole exit. He saw dozens of the hybrid creatures scurrying beneath him, yet more climbing with simian dexterity up the ribbed scaffolds of the walls.

Klotec had almost made it to the platforms at the back of the chamber when three bulge-eyed hybrid freaks swung hand over hand towards him, their third arms clutching autopistols that fired wildly in his general direction. He pulled his exitus pistol and shot them in their grotesque faces, one after another. Two of them dropped, limbs flailing, but the last was locked to the rafters by a death grip to dangle like a broken marionette.

Making a leap for the scaffolds at the back of the chamber, Klotec landed with easy grace, tucked, and hand-sprung away so as to spare his rifle taking any damage from the industrial grate below. He ran hard for the corridor beyond, only to see the shape of something terrible rise up from the shadows. It was huge, far bigger than a Purestrain specimen – and it was unharmed. Its massive form seemed to expand as it spread its four arms and extruded a long, bulbous cranium. One of its limbs backhanded his pistol from his grip. Another shot out, grabbing him around the throat.

A second Patriarch.

‘No…’ choked out Klotec. ‘Not… possible…’

Then the Tyranid squeezed hard, and Emeret Klotec’s life ended in a spray of blood and shattered bone.
