Description Something was wrong, Magos Owelo knew it. The envoys to the Tuzkinn Confederacy had not made their usual contact via their encrypted vox channel provided to them. He had entrusted this mission to Eisenmann personally for being such loyal follower for the past years and also being his right hand.

Time of action was of importance now. Explorator-Adept Bergmann had initially reported of success in setting up the colony in a coastal village on Ilinsur and taking over few other towns further inland. But from unknown source Bergmann had found out that great army was coming from the south and little after the colony was attacked, all of the remaining Krakens there had been either crippled or destroyed. Bergmann had taken two Krakens and as many Adepts and Skitarii with him and fled for the east towards their true destination: Old Mechanicus outpost, from which no one had heard of since the Wrath of Omnissiah. Had any of them survive the Wrath was unknown but there still could, no, WOULD be technology worth saving and the place could serve as Bergmann's sanctuary untill they could reach out to aid him.

The army from the south had besieged largest of the outposts and had bombarded it to ground without knowing of all the civilians that still were inside the town. The surviving Adepts had made sure that none of their precious technology would fall into hands of the Unworthy, they gathered what they could and blew it up and turned to face their oncoming foe.

Colony, named New Akrelia, still stands according to the most recent reports but who knows for how long.

Armies of Technocracy were preparing of Lea'el Prime. Attack on their envoys would not be tolerated, with the main army crossing the narrow sea between the Technocracy and Lea'el Prime and skitarii and some of the advanced troops would keep up with the mining team that should soon be soon connecting to the station in Lea'el Prime that was connected to the one found under Akrelia Hive.

Soon it would be time to unleash "Operation: Blitzkrakenkrieg" upon their enemies on Lea'el Prime. Krakens filled with Technocracy's elite tech-guards would soon cross the sea and bring the true meaning of "Unleash the Kraken!" to the enemy.

---

When the Krakens first appeared from under the waves at the coast they did not meet any resistance as they had expected. First they suspected a clever ambush but their auspex units detected nothing and so they continued to the closest settlement they saw and found it empty, devoid of all life.

Other landing groups reported encountering scared and weary groups of people protected by what it would seem to be remainders of their army. The people would be rounded together in once place and the Magos would judge them once the time came.

After several days, they had progressed far inland and had garrisoned any forts that they had across, taking any weapons and people they found. Finally they found the Kraken that had been transporting the envoys. It lay still on the ground, fully malfunctioned and there was several burial mounds next to it and next to them was locker filled with deceased's augments. After a while of searching the tech-guard found the barely functioning bodies of Adept Eisenmann, Sergeant Juergenn the Hero of Wojek and two skitarii.

While the Krakens had advanced by the sea almost unopposed, the tunnel team of skitarii and the advanced troops had met heavy resistance of raiders once they had surfaced from the station but after weathering it out, pack of Krakens arrived to aid them and the raiders were driven off.

After Magos Owelo was pleased with the progress that his troops had made, he gave the people they had found a choice of faith, they either abandon their faith and worship Omnissiah as it was meant to be OR serve him anyway in eternal servitude as a servitor.

Some held dearly to their faith but once they had been given their "reward" others threw down their false deity and embraced the God of Machine as the one true god.

Eisenmann was inserted as governor of the new acquired land and was named the Magos of Lea'el Prime.
