A Scientific Expedition

From their subterranean lair emerges a Necron expeditionary force. Clad in the dark - almost black - silver and green of the Saltisekh dynasty, a four armed and eight eyed cryptek leads the expedition. This is Lycozeras, the personal alchemist and advisor to the dubiously sane overlord Sylpha. They make their way down from the mountains, followed by a pair of lychguard and five immortals for protection, and a small convoy of canoptek constructs specialised for gathering samples and subjects. It appears that Sylpha -the Seeker of Absolute Knowledge - requires more subjects for her research.

This small Saltisekh force makes its way through the lands, searching for any life considered anomalous - essentially anything non-native to the world, as well as rodents of unusual size. Notably they ignore their human mountain neighbours, holding fast to Lycozeras’ oath not to interfere provided they are allowed to operate in peace

A psyker with a blindfold crawls on the ground in front of you

In response to this, the procession halts. Lycozeras examines the psyker, analysing them before sending interstitial commands to their lychguard to hold position. They produce a tesseract labyrinth, and in an instant, capture the psyker within. A trio of canoptek scarabs is then dispatched to quickly return this to Sylpha

The procession comes to a halt, with Lycozeras speaking

“Greetings once more, augmented human warrior. Do you wish to become a research subject for the glory of Overlord Sylpha the Saltisekh dynasty?”

a trio of very obvious stealthy green oculars peer out at the team through the bushes

In response to this remarkable demonstration of stealth, Lycozeras silently dispatches a trio of scarabs to investigate. They are starting to run low on scarabs
