Loyalist victory The crew of the “Sisypheum” steal the “Kryptos” — the key to intercepting the traitors’ communications.

Nykona Sharrowkyn and Iron-Father Sabik Wayland infiltrated a Dark Mechanicum fortress on the formerly loyalist forge world of Cavor Sarta and stole the “Kryptos” — a bio-engineered decryption machine — killing the Word Bearer who had been hiding it. With the “Kryptos” the loyalist commanders were able to decipher the traitors’ communications and anticipate their meetings.
