Allotment: 1 Allotment for every Marine deployed on this Mission. After this total, add the extra from the DoomClock advancement. This is the total Allotment the GM has to work with every Turn. Adversaries begin their Turn from any Entry Point.

Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: this is the final run and your marines have become all too familiar with these disintegrating hallways and chambers. Caution is thrown to the wind as dust, debris, and corrosion filter through the twisted ceilings with every hammerfall of your boots. Walls crack, compartments shatter, and floors collapse. Let nothing stop you, brothers, in your hasty, tactical withdrawal.


Terminal Data for this Mission
All Terminals in this Mission will potentially give identical information. Just like in Hulk Breach (version 1), whenever a player accesses a terminal have them tell you if they want access to "Local" or "Shipwide" data. This will give them information that is relative to those parameters.

If players ask for information not covered by either of the following lists, do one of two things. One is to tell them the terminal doesn't have that info and have them ask you for something else (don't make their Skill worth nothing). Two is to make something interesting up on the fly and write it down so you can recall what it was and use it later. Make sure anything you give your players has a use - it must have an ingame effect and it must be beneficial to the players' characters.

Local Data
Depending on what players want to know - they may be very specific in their questions about data or they might be super vague - here is a list of potential information available about the Local area. If players aren't specific in their requests, I made a list of priority information. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with the terminals in this Mission, unless they have abilities that state otherwise. If they ask for specific info ignore the priority of this list; it's only there for players who just ask for generic Information.

1. The type and number of non-human lifeforms in the surrounding compartments. This information is literal. It means you, the GM, must tell your players the breakdown of Allotment for the very next Turn and what kind of Adversaries they will be facing. If there's to be 10 Chaos Cultists next Turn, tell them they will be facing 10 mutant Minions, etc.).

2. The layout of the surrounding hulk. In this Mission, this information grants the Deathwatch the ability to reroll their Advances until the end of the Mission.

3. Local access points and the maintenance sub-layer of the immediate area. In this Mission, this information negates any Cover Save bonuses for Adversaries within 3" of any Entry Point.

4. Additional nearby technology. This reveals an additional Low Power Keypad hidden in a secret compartment near the Extraction Zone. The GM places a Marker near a wall within 6" of the Extraction Zone. Successful Skill interaction with this Emplacement unlocks a Narrative Side Quest string called Secrets of the Arcanite. Completing all of the Unlocked Missions earns all Marines, present and future, +1 Renown and the Knowledge of Suppressed Histories Trait. Details of these Missions and Trait to follow.


Shipwide Data
Here is a list of potential information available about the whole of the Arcanite Destructor. If players aren't specific in their requests, I made a list of priority information. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with the terminals in this Mission, unless a player has an ability that states otherwise. In this case, the priority is subject to any information the players may have already gleaned in the previous Mission. For instance, if they already found out the name and class of the ship, ignore that tidbit of info and priorize the next item on the list. Never hand out information players already have unless the Mission description expressly states otherwise.

1. The ship's name and class. The Arcanite Destructor is classified as an Astartes Battleship, a heavily retrofitted Desolator class. Any player with the Forbidden Knowledge Skill can use the "My Chapter has had Extensive Experience With This Subject" Skill use to determine that this ship was presumed lost more than 11,000 years ago during the Great Crusade and that it was in service to the then-still-loyal Thousand Sons Legion. They may force the GM to bring either a Thousand Sons or Arcanite Guard Boss Monster next Mission or, if they choose to place the Relic Marker, the GM may choose one from the list below. If the ship's name and class has already been discovered in a previous Mission, then the players gain instead ONE of the following pieces of information (GMs remember not to double up on information; if players keep selecting this option they should eventually learn all of these things):

A. The ship Captain's name: Brother-Captain Heshmek the Seer. Heshmek's command bridge was smashed by suicide attack from one of the enemy vessels. For most of the remaining battle Heshmek was presumed dead until reports spotted him fighting boarding parties with his retinue in the lower decks of the Arcanite. His ultimate fate, however, is unknown as the ship's records do not contain information indicating whether he survived or fell.

B. The Arcanite's cargo: besides munitions (most of which were carried off during the wreck's evacuation), this battleship had in its holds a maniple of Battle Automata and some sort of experimental Sensorium rigs that this terminal labels the "Crowns of Sehkmet". The exact locations of these objects is not revealed, but the data seems to indicate that they are still onboard the vessel.

C. The full compliment of Admech forces on board the ship and the percentage of which were combat-capable. The original population of the Arcanite Destructor was staggering, numbering in the tens of thousands. After damage reports and the evacuation of the ship those numbers dwindled to a scant thousand. However, of those thousand roughly 20% could be considered combat-ready. And, according to this terminal, of those 20%, a surprising number seem to be here still; scattered throughout the expanding wreckage of this Hulk.

D. The location and power level of a centralized reactor node. Active even for the millennia though it has been, this central chamber still feeds a steady supply of energy to the crumbling remains of the Arcanite's systems. Knowing this location will be useful for subsequent Missions and Side Quests later in the campaign (such as the Stabilize the Reactor Side Quest Mission and many others).

2. The condition of the Arcanite Destructor's Warp Core. Highly unstable. This unlocks a new Side Quest Mission called Stabilize the Reactor that becomes available right after the Main Mission Battle for the Arcanite Vaults. Details to follow.

3. Radiation levels throughout the ship and what to avoid. This has two effects. During any future Mission where radiation presents a hazard, having secured this information negates the effects of that radiation on the deployed squad (they've taken precautions against it). During any Exploration Mission where radiation might cause harm to the squad, the Mission Leader may opt to add +D3 hours to the Mission time in order to negate those effects. Some Missions might have alternate uses for this knowledge.

4. The original damage assessment from that ages ago battle. The Arcanite Destructor suffered numerous catastrophic impacts along the length of its midsection and a sundering of its comms lines. A significant portion of the vessel's midsection has been obliterated by internal detonations. This information unlocks a new Side Quest Mission called The Hidden Vault that becomes available right after the Main Mission Descent to the Central Magazine. Details to follow.


Relics (do not use an item if the players already possess it; Relics are meant to be unique)

50 / 25 / ** / The Eye of Heshmek (Relic Servo Skull) / This item increases a model's visual range by 3D6". Roll whenever the lights go out. It also provides its user with a 6+ Invulnerable Save as long as it remains in base to base contact. The Eye of Heshmek is a tiny device that may be targeted by enemy models with the Sniper Trait. If individually targeted, it has a Toughness of 2, 2 Wounds, a 4+ Invulnerable Save, and the Tiny Trait.

00 / 01 / 01 / STC Fragment(Generic Relic) / This item has no use whatsoever to the Deathwatch except as a bargaining tool with the Admech. This Fragment may be traded to any Admech Faction for +5D6 Esteem. However, doing so will permanently turn all Factions Marginally or Diametrically Opposed to the Faction the marines have traded it to against the Deathwatch. Deathwatch marines will not be able to gain Esteem with those Factions for the remainder of this campaign and those Factions are immediately added to the list of potential Adversaries the Deathwatch may face inside the hulk. Alternatively, the Fragment may be kept on board the Intolerance. In this case increase the Esteem of all Admech Factions by +1 after every Mission until The Battle for the Arcanite Vaults.


**This item acts as a separate model with a Movement of 6" so has no Capacity.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 10 "blip" Markers and an Allotment equal to the bonus provided by the Doomclock (if it is hour 24, the GM starts with 8 Allotment). The GM secretly writes how much Allotment they are assigning to each "blip". This may be a number between 0 and 5. "Blips" move up to 4" per Turn until they enter line of sight of a Space Marine, at which time they are revealed and the Allotment they represent is spent on models that must be placed within 3" of the "blip's" original location.

Additionally, at the start of each of the GM's turns, each unobstructed Entry Point on the table generates 2 Allotment that may be immediately spent or banked for a later turn. These Turn by Turn reinforcements may enter the board via any open Entry Point, beginning their movement from there.

Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: Already the twisting labyrinth of this hulk has begun its unraveling on the minds of our Brothers. Every corner hides an enemy and every chamber a mystery. Where are we in the grand scheme of this vessel? Only the Emperor knows for certain.


Terminal Data for this Mission
All Terminals in this Mission will potentially give identical information. Whenever a player accesses a terminal have them tell you if they want access to "Local" or "Shipwide" data. This will give them information that is relative to those parameters.

Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with the terminals in this Mission, unless they have abilities that state otherwise. If they ask for specific info ignore the priority of this list; it's only there for players who just ask for generic Information.

1. The type and number of lifeforms in the surrounding compartments. This information is literal. It means you, the GM, must tell your players what kind of Adversaries they will be facing next Turn. As the Allotment may change, Turn to Turn, a GM need only reveal the number of accrued unspent Allotment they have and the type of Adversaries from which they will be drawing their models. Tyranids, mutants, orks, etc. is all the GM needs to reveal.

2. The layout of the surrounding hulk. In this Mission, this information grants the Deathwatch the ability to reroll their Advances until the end of the Mission.

3. Local access points and the maintenance sub-layer of the immediate area. In this Mission, this information negates any Cover Save bonuses for Adversaries within 3" of any Door.

4. Additional nearby technology. This reveals an additional Low Power Keypad hidden in a secret compartment along any board edge. The GM places a Marker anywhere within 6" of any wall. Successful Skill interaction with this Keypad unlocks a secret compartment in the nearest wall with an Armored Vaccsuit (5+ armor save; immune to gas attacks and vaccuum), a Freeze-Ray (01 / 04 / 01 / Freeze-Ray / D3|-|- / 6 / 10" range, automatically hits its target, Strength 3, AP -, Damage 1, Pistol), & an Illuminator (a model with an Illuminator adds +4" to their sight distance whenever the lights go out, but count as the closest model for the purposes of enemy targeting. Alternatively an Illuminator may be left as a Marker in a location to shed light 3" in all directions from it for D6+4 Turns).

Shipwide Data
Here is a list of potential information available about the whole of the Arcanite Destructor. If players aren't specific in their requests, I made a list of priority information. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with the terminals in this Mission, unless a player has an ability that states otherwise. In this case, the priority is subject to any information the players may have already gleaned in the previous Mission. For instance, if they already found out the name and class of the ship, ignore that tidbit of info and priorize the next item on the list.

2. The condition of the Arcanite Destructor's Warp Core. Highly unstable. This unlocks a new Side Quest Mission called Stabilize the Reactor that becomes available right after the Main Mission Battle for the Arcanite Vaults. Details to follow.

3. Radiation levels throughout the ship and what to avoid. This has two effects. During any future Mission where radiation presents a hazard, having secured this information negates the effects of that radiation on the deployed squad (they've taken precautions against it). During any Exploration Mission where radiation might cause harm to the squad, the Mission Leader may opt to add +D3 hours to the Mission time in order to negate those effects.

Relics (do not use an item if the players already possess it; Relics are meant to be unique)

01 / 01 / ** / Illuminator (Tool) / a model with an Illuminator adds +4" to their sight distance whenever the lights go out, but count as the closest model for the purposes of enemy targeting. Alternatively an Illuminator may be left as a Marker in a location to shed light 3" in all directions from it for D6+4 Turns.

50 / 25 / ** / The Wisdom of Violence (Relic Powerfield / This amulet projects an invisible field of disruptive energy. In addition to forcing this model to remain 1" away from any terrain feature or other model, the Wisdom of Violence provides a special 5+ invulnerable save versus all shooting attacks. Any hit negated by this item is reflected back at its originator at the same Strength, AP, and Damage. Shots deflected in this way hit their targets on a 5+.

**The weight of this item is negligible.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 12 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock. These Adversaries may be set up anywhere on the revealed side of the Bisecting Wall, at least 6" from the player(s)' Deployment Zone.

Additionally, at the start of each of the GM's turns, each Entry Point on the table generates 2 Allotment that may be immediately spent or banked for a later turn. These Turn by Turn reinforcements may enter the board via any revealed Entry Point, beginning their movement from there.

Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: This chamber is vast, its ceiling awash in darkness. The air of this compartment, however, is alive with the activity of occupation. Steam and more noxious fumes arise from the decks below and the noise of tinkering creatures, their voices a murmur of heresy, reveal that this hulk is not nearly as derelict as we all had hoped.


Terminal Data for this Mission
Depending on their location, Terminals in this Mission will potentially give widely varied information. Whenever a player accesses a terminal in their Deployment Zone, they are accessing Local Data. Whenever a player accesses a terminal outside their Deployment Zone, but not beyond the Bisecting Wall, they are accessing Specialized Data. Whenever a player accesses a terminal beyond the Bisecting Wall, they are accessing Secret Data. This will give players information that is relative to those parameters.


Local Data
Depending on what players want to know - they may be very specific in their questions about data or they might be super vague - here is a list of potential information available about the Local area. If players aren't specific in their requests, I made a list of priority information. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with the terminals in this Mission, unless they have abilities that state otherwise. If they ask for specific info ignore the priority of this list; it's only there for players who just ask for generic Information.

1. The type and number of lifeforms in the surrounding compartments. This information is literal. It means you, the GM, must tell your players what kind of Adversaries they will be facing next Turn. As the Allotment may change, Turn to Turn, a GM need only reveal the number of accrued unspent Allotment they have and the type of Adversaries from which they will be drawing their models. Tyranids, mutants, orks, etc. is all the GM needs to reveal.

2. The layout of the surrounding hulk. In this Mission, this information forces the GM to reveal the layout of the terrain on the other side of the Bisecting Wall, whether players have breached it yet or not.

3. Local access points and the maintenance sub-layer of the immediate area. In this Mission, this information negates any Cover Save bonuses for Adversaries within 3" of any Entry Point.

4. Additional nearby technology. This reveals a Low Power Generator Conduit running under the main deck. A player with the Tech Skill may use this Conduit to increase the Power level of any 1 Technology Emplacement on the table by 1 step. No Skill use is required; simply knowing this information and having the Tech Skill is enough.


Special Data
Here is a list of potential information available about specific locations onboard the [++Redacted++]. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with this terminal in this Mission, unless a player has an ability that states otherwise. This list has no priority. Tell players all the categories of potential info (Prow, Command Deck, Engineering, etc.) and let them pick one (or more if they have the ability to extract more than one tidbit at a time). Never hand out information players already have unless the Mission description expressly states otherwise. Details for all Side Quests to follow.

1. The Prow. During the ancient battle, a massive energy blast penetrated the ship just aft of the prow, severing numerous decks and sheering vital comms lines. The battleship's shields had been temporarily down when this happened. However, this impact was not enough to completely decapitate the vessel, leaving the Torpedo banks and macrobatteries on their own for firing solutions and target priorities. At the very head of the prow, along the dorsal spine, is a cogitator bank with the accumulated data from that battle, including all of the guesswork and improvisation of both the crew & their machine spirits. Numerous Factions of the Mechanicum, including Lord's Own Code, Catalogists, Transcendancers, and the Replicanticle would pay handsomely for the retrieval of this data. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Black Box Retrieval Alpha that can be played at any time after this Mission.

2. Command Deck. The main body of this vessel's Command Deck was almost completely destroyed during the ancient battle that stranded it here. However, a few decks did survive and, more importantly, fragments of the enemy vessel that rammed the bridge are still wedged into its superstructure. Boarding these fragments to study them and/or retrieve surviving xenotech may prove useful for helping to shut down the wayward Warp Core or at least to be catalogued and studied by the Tech Adepts of the Deathwatch or Mechanicum. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Plundering the Dead that can only be played if the players opt for the Cleasning the Basillica Mission, and can therefore be played any time after that Mission.

3. Engineering. Somewhere at the heart of this vessel is an Engineering room that seems to be functioning as if nothing untoward has even happened. This information suggests that those compartments have been sealed off and that somehow those inside have managed to survive and thrive. Breaching this compartment may help the Deathwatch understand how the Warp Core malfunctioned and will at least reveal how the Admech in there have survived without the aid of the Factions outside. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Unlocking the Engine Room that can be played anytime after this Mission. If players have uncovered the Shipwide Data "D", reduce this Mission's time by 1 hour.

4. Aft. Power flows freely to the Aft sections of this vessel, suggesting things like lights and air filtration systems are still functioning. Although an explosion seems to have crippled the vessel's main thruster array, it still retains enough fuel and functionality to make use of its maneuvering jets. Perhaps, if a control chamber can be reached, these can be used to nudge the [++Redacted++] away from the swirling Warp Vortex and buy the Mission a little more time. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Buying Time that can only be played if the players opt for the Braving the Depths Mission, and can therefore be played any time after that Mission.

5. Amidships. The interior of this battleship seems to have been intentionally constructed like a maze, including the ability for rooms, hallways, and even whole decks to shift position to confound the casual traveler. At the center of this maze is an unchanging cogitator bank that, if accessed, could provide an algorithm to help predict the patterns of change. The only problem foreseeable is that the Marines would have to plunge directly into the confusing labyrinth to reach it. This knowledge unlocks an optional Exploration Mission called Heart of the Maze that can be played any time after this Mission.

6. Hangar Bay. All the way on the keel of this massive battleship is a Hangar Bay, tiny when compared to the vast bulk of this fighting vessel. Here was housed shuttles, dropships, and massive cargo landers. Although the atmospheric shields and gravity plates have long since ceased functioning, if a salvage team can be sent to this compartment, perhaps some vital clues to the extent of the ship's evacuation and plundering can be ascertained, as well as any stores of munitions left behind in haste. This knowledge unlocks an optional Exploration Mission called Dancing the Wreckage that can only be played if the players opt for the Braving the Depths Mission, and can therefore be played any time after that Mission.

7. Cargo Hold. Insude the armored belly of this vast ship lay snug cargo holds packed not with munitions like the Magazines, but rather with long forgotten instruments of war. Ancient sarcophagi labeled Automata, Sensorium, and Techno-Librariat sit quietly behind shielded blast doors, unperturbed by the millenia they have waited. Plundering these could provide a treasure unfathomable in value or unlock a terror of catastrophic power. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Uncertain Cargo that can be played anytime after this Mission. If players have uncovered the Shipwide Data "B", they gain a bonus when attempting to unlock and harness the Sarcophagi as detailed in this Side Quest Mission's GM section.

8. Librarium. A long vault of cogitators and physical tomes of knowledge stretches the dorsal length amidships. Tucked away under armored basillcas and only accessible from the Command Level, this storehouse of esoteric and forbidden data could prove invaluable to the Deathwatch's Librarium and its quest for knowledge. If nothing else, seizing this to lock it away from the enemies of Man seems prudent, as it will be far safer locked away aboard the Intolerance than the [++Redacted++] should the overall Mission fail and the Warp Vortex drags us all into the Immaterium. This knowledge unlocks an optional Side Quest called Knowledge is Power that can only be played if the players opt for the Cleasning the Basillica Mission, and can therefore be played any time after that Mission.If players have uncovered the Shipwide Data "A", they gain an additional Tertiary Objective during this Side Quest Mission as detailed in the GM section.

9. Vault. Separate completely from either the Librarium or the Cargo Hold of this vessel lies an armored Vault. The remnants of the most loyal ship's servants have guarded this domain for millenia, but neither this manifest nor any other accessible data point so far encountered will even suggest what might lay beyond its doors. Opening it may well turn everyone's world upside down. This knowledge unlocks a Side Quest called The Most Secret that can only be played if the Mission Battle for the Arcanite Vaults is successful. It must be played immediately after that Mission, if it is to be played at all. If players have uncovered the Shipwide Data "C", the GM must reveal their entire Allotment breakdown for the Mission before Deployment - number and type of models, Faction keywords, Minions, Minibosses and Boss Monsters, special rules, wargear, etc.


Secret Data
Here is a list of potential information available about Secret stuff onboard the Arcanite Destructor. Give out ONE of these per successful Skill interaction with this terminal in this Mission, unless a player has an ability that states otherwise. This list has no priority. Tell players all the categories of potential info (The Crew, Manifest, Mission, etc.) and let them pick one (or more if they have the ability to extract more than one tidbit at a time). Never hand out information players already have unless the Mission description expressly states otherwise.

1. The Crew. The vast majority of the [++Redacted++]'s actual crew were menials, servitors, and mortal Imperial navy. Whole families lived and died aboard this ship and their descendants have devolved into the hullghasts, pox walkers, Gilliams, cultists, and Genestealer hybrids the Deathwatch faces in nearly every Mission. Using this, the Mission Leader may assign the Trait: Knowledge: Crew, to 1 other Marine, plus an additional number of Marines equal to his Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge in any Mission until the end of the Campaign. Doing so earns the Mission Leader +1 Renown if he survives. Trait details below.

2. Ship's Manifest. For a battleship, the [++Redacted++] carried a lot of miscellaneous cargo, from Battle Automata to Relics to live exotic animals. While much of this was evacuated off the ship before it was stranded here, a not-significant number of items were left behind. Using this, the Mission Leader may assign the Trait: Knowledge: Manifest, to 1 other Marine, plus an additional number of Marines equal to his Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge in any Mission until the end of the Campaign. Doing so earns the Mission Leader +1 Renown if he survives. Trait details below.

3. Mission Directives. While this may seem straight forward to anyone with knowledge of the Crusade, it might be a surprise to learn that the Arcanite Destructor's original mission was the liberation of subjugated human worlds. It specialized in the eradication of xenos races that had somehow harnessed the power of the Warp. To this end, the fighting compliment of soldiers onboard the battleship were mostly either the inscrutable machines if the Mechanicum or the profoundly psychic sorcerers of the Thousand Sons. Using this, the Mission Leader may assign the Trait: Knowledge: Directives, to 1 other Marine, plus an additional number of Marines equal to his Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge in any Mission until the end of the Campaign. Doing so earns the Mission Leader +1 Renown if he survives. Trait details below.

4. Armsman's Private Logs. This is a record - and the opinion of that record - of the expenditure of rounds for all Starboard macrobatteries and shipboard repulsor teams during the long history of this battleship's engagements. Apparently this ship fired less aggressively than this crewman deemed prudent and they surmised this to be the reason his section of hull was so routinely targeted by enemy fire. Using this, the Mission Leader may assign the Trait: Knowledge: Armsman, to 1 other Marine, plus an additional number of Marines equal to his Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge in any Mission until the end of the Campaign. Doing so earns the Mission Leader +1 Renown if he survives. Trait details below.


Traits
Any Marine may be assigned a number of these Knowledge Traits equal to 1 plus their Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge.

Meaning a Marine that does not have the Forbidden Knowledge Skill can only be assigned a maximum of 1 of these Traits, but a Marine with 2 Ratings in Forbidden Knowledge can be assigned up to 3. The Rating don't effect how often the Trait can used, only the number that can be assigned.

Knowledge: Crew - this Trait allows the Marine who has it to reroll 1 Hit or Wound roll every Turn when attacking Chaos Cultists, Pox Walkers, Hullghasts, Gilliams, Skitarii, Genestealer Neophytes, Genestealer Hybrids, Genestealer Abominations, Servitors, or Traitor Guardsmen.

Knowledge: Manifest - this Trait allows the Marine who has it to designate an additional Tertiary Objective at the start of any Mission. That player may place a single Objective Marker anywhere at least 9" from either the Deployment Zone, the Extraction Zone, or any other Objective Marker already on the table. This Objective is worth +1 Renown to the first Marine that moves into contact with it. If there is no room to place the Objective Marker, this Trait cannot be used.

Knowledge: Directives - this Trait allows the Marine who has it to reroll 1 Hit or Wound roll every Turn when attacking Battle Automata, Chaos Sorcerers, any model with the Faction Keyword Thousand Sons or Tzeentch, Katephron and Kastelan robots, or Boss Monsters with the Admech or Mechanicum Keyword.

Knowledge: Armsman - this Trait allows the Marine who has it to reroll 1 Hit roll on each of their own Turns and to force 1 enemy model to reroll 1 Hit roll on each of their Turns.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 20 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock. These Adversaries may be set up anywhere within 12" of the central Objective.

Additionally, at the start of each of the Adversary turns, the GM gains a number of additional Allotment equal to the total number of models - friend and foe - remaining on the table. These Turn by Turn reinforcements may enter the board via any Entry Point, beginning their movement from that point. If the only remaining models on the table are Deathwatch or their Allies/Cohorts, then the GM may deploy 1 final Boss Monster who enters play from anywhere on the table at least 9" away from any enemy model (by tearing a hole in the decks or walls). From the Turn of its arrival until this Boss Monster is dead, the game is subject to the rules for Mundane Events. Note that once this Boss Monster arrives, the GM no longer generates extra Allotment every Turn. This is the last thing the player(s) has to deal with this game.

Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: Tall, armored windows of plate and plasma look out over vast drifts of wreckage and splendor, the dorsal spine of this once mighty battleship now twisted and broken under the weight of decay and corruption. Defaced or warped statuary of unnamed Crusade heroes leer down as the Deathwatch breach the chamber, a glow of unidentifiable colors washing the scene with confusing refracted light. The sensation of impending doom is inescapable; the very maw of the Warp visible as it devours the ship, aft to prow.

Terminal Data for this Mission
The Terminals that may be present in this Mission are all repositories of crew confessions. Rather than providing tactical Data, these Terminals instead reveal insight as to the nature of their foes, past and present. When accessed, ask players if they wish to assess Ancient, Old, or Current files. Each successful Skill interaction generates one (or more, if the player's Marine has an ability that allows them to extract more than one tidbit) instance of the bonus associated with the timeframe in question.

Ancient: +1XP. This only applies to the model who extracted this Data.

Old: 1 re-roll that can be used to force any Adversary to reroll a successful Armor or Invulnerable Save. This reroll can be used this Mission or saved for a future Mission. This reroll only applies to the model who extracted this Data.

Current: 1 re-roll that can be used for any hit or Wound roll versus Adversaries. This reroll can be used this Mission or saved for a future Mission. This reroll only applies to the model who extracted this Data.

The Relic
75 / 50 / 02 / The Trifold Key (Tainted Relic Power Maul) / This weapon/Tool begins play Tainted, but each time it is used, at the end of the Mission, roll a D6. Add +1 to this roll if it was used to Wound or kill a Miniboss or Boss Monster. Add +1 if any Chaplain deployed on the same Mission. On the roll of a 5+, this item loses its Tainted Quality. This item has 3 abilities that each can be used once per Mission. First, the bearer can nominate one ally in Cohesion Range. That model ignores any unsaved Wound on a 6+ until the end of their next Turn. If they already have an ability like this, then this ability improves that by 1. Second, the bearer can nominate one ally in Cohesion Range. That model gains the Fearsome Trait until the end of its next Turn. Lastly, the bearer can nominate one ally in Cohesion Range. That model automatically passes any Skill test they may have to take without expending any Ratings until the end of their next Turn. Entropic, Felling, Masterwork.

Forbidden Knowledge
Chambers shift as Marines pass through them. A door opens to a staircase once, but a gangway on second pass, or deadends, or a heretofore unrevealed room. The skeletal remains of lost servitors turn to dust as they are exposed to atmosphere for the first time in millenia. No path is straight and no way sure, but still the Deathwatch plunges further, determined to find a secure breach point by which to further their assault.

Treasures
Have the players roll a D6 for every Marine deployed on this Mission. If a player successfully used their Forbidden Knowledge Skill to gain the above description, have them roll an additional D6 and apply all results. If duplicates occur, the players find multiple different caches of the same items.

D6 Roll: Treasure
1: a heavily damaged datapad. Its Power Level is Dead. This object may be traded to any Admech Faction for +2D3 Esteem. Alternatively and/or additionally, players may hold on to the datapad and attempt to glean information from it. Between Missions, any marine with the Tech Skill may roll as if the datapad's Power Level was Minuscule. If successful, the pad reveals minor data regarding some aspect of life onboard the ancient vessel. This grants the entire Deathwatch complement +2XP (this is an important distinction if your group is composed of multiple squads, because it grants XP to all the marines in every squad, even those not on the roster yet - meaning Cohorts gained later will begin with this +2XP). Using Tech like this does not count towards that Skill's Rating for the previous or upcoming Mission.

2: a cache of Scorpius Bolter/Stormbolter ammo. Roll D3 to determine how many boxes of this special ammo is located. Each box contains 20 rounds, once all such rounds have been expended there are no more to be had. Any marine may purchase these rounds for any pattern of Bolter, Stormbolter, Angelus Bolter, or Relic version thereof for Threshold 3 per bullet and Renown Cost 2 per bullet.

Therefore, a Standard Bolter Reload would be Threshold 24 and cost 16 Renown, whereas a Bolter Longmag would be Threshold 36 and cost 24 Renown. An Integral Mag would be Threshold 09 and cost 06 Renown. Likewise, a Standard Stormbolter Reload would be Threshold 54 and cost 36 Renown, whereas a Stormbolter Boxmag would be Threshold 108 and cost 72 Renown.

Scorpius Rounds/bullets have the following profile:
Strength +2, AP-2, Damage D3. Versus targets with the <Vehicle> keyword increase Damage to D6.

3: D3 Blackfire Grenades. These delicate nanotech impliments unleash a cloud of all-devouring nanoscopic machines that disintegrate all in their path. With luck the grenades will eat for only a short duration, elsewise the entire ship may be at risk of destruction.

100 / 14 / ** / Blackfire Grenade / Strength 10, AP -4. Whenever a model uses this grenade it makes D6 hit rolls following the normal rules for targeting presented for this Campaign. For every 6 that is rolled, either to hit or to Wound, when using this weapon, roll an additional D3 attacks that target the closest models, friend or foe, from the original target of this grenade. These additional attacks also potentially generate more attacks if they, too, roll more 6s. If these greandes generate any 6s, every Mission played after this one are subject to the rules for Mundane Events. If a model carrying 1 or more Blackfire Grenades rolls a 1 for an Armor Save, all such grenades detonate immediately, centered on the model carrying them.

**Grenades weigh little individually, but collectively their weight adds up. Any combination of types may be carried by a model. Equipping 1 or 2 grenades of any type costs 1 Capacity, 3 or 4 costs 2 Capacity, 5 or 6 cost 3 Capacity, and every additional grenade beyond 6 adds +1 Capacity.

4: a machine fragment. The obscure nature of this somehow-still-powered object makes it inscrutable to the Deathwatch, but the Admech will practically lose their minds to have it. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction for +D6+1 Esteem.

5: D3 ablative heat plating. This bulky mantle may be layered over existing armor and provides a 4+ Invulnerable Save against the first las, melta, flamer, lance, or plasma -type weapon Wound sustained by the model equipped with it. These may be traded to any Admech Faction for +D3+1 Esteem. Alternatively, players may hold on to them for use. If a marine decides to carry one of these Mantles, it weighs 02 Capacity, but it is destroyed after one use. Equipping this Mantle costs 1 Renown and has a Threshold of 5.

6: a xenotech weapon. The origin of this weapon must be from the pre-Imperium civilization this vessel was dispatched to destroy. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction for +D3 Esteem. Alternatively, players may hold on to this item and use it. If a marine decides to carry this item, it has the following profile:

50 / 25 / 02 / Disruptor (Xenotech Rifle) / 1|2-3|4 / 5* / Strength 3*, AP -*. Range 36". Damage 1*.

*Each time this weapon is fired after the first, increase its Strength by +1, its AP by -1, and its Damage by +1.
*Treat this item like a Tech Emplacement. When it reaches 0 magazine, its Power Level is Dead, but it can be refilled in the same way as a machine - Minuscule = 1 shot replenished, Low = 3 shots replenished, Full = 5 shots replenished, Overcharged = increase the weapon's first shot to Strength +2, AP-2, Damage D3, but if a 1 is rolled to hit, the bearer suffers a Mortal Wound.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 25 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock. The GM should separate their total model count into 2 waves. The first wave Deploys to the table anywhere move than 18" from player Deployment zones. The second Wave enters play via any table edge at the beginning of the 3rd Turn.


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: The winding, confusing chambers of the lower hull aft are a warren of decaying chambers, fluctuating gravity, and lightless corridors home to the degenerated and forgotten. Every step invites collapse, every noise attracts the ravenous. Tread lightly, for this benighted place is the den of ruin.


Terminal Data for this Mission
The Terminals in this location contain only generic manifest information. Accessing one successfully allows players, in any subsequent Mission, to either add or remove 1 Volatile Fuel or Concentrated Gas Barrel any place on the table when they would normally be revealed or placed - typically at the beginning of the Mission, after terrain is set up, but before Deployment. For each successfully accessed Terminal, players may add or remove 1 more barrel.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 30 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock. These Adversaries may be set up anywhere on the battlefield at least 9" from any Automata and 9" away from the Deathwatch deployment zone(s). Any models may be held in Reserve. Reserves may enter play from any table edge, at least 9" from any Deathwatch model, on any Turn after the first.


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: Though the ceilings of these vaults tower overhead, the tiny rooms they cap are the very definition of claustrophobia. Armored behemoths, entombed for an Age in stassis, leer over foe and ally alike, their robotic eyes hungry for bloodshed and carnage. We must hurry to gather these Relics to our arsenal lest they be used against us in this crucial hour.


The Automata
Any Automata activated and controlled by the Player(s) at the end of this Mission may either be Turned over to any Admech Faction or kept as a Deathwatch Relic. Each Automata turned over to a Faction earns +36 Esteem with that Faction. Any Automata kept by the Deathwatch becomes a Relic Cohort with a Threshold of 150 and a Cost of 80.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 1 Boss Monster and 3 Minibosses, and an Allotment of 36 plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock. At least one of the Bosses must be a Psyker. The Boss Monster and Minibosses must be set up within 6" of the Gate. Remaining Allotment models can either be deployed within 1" of an Entry Point or be held in Reserve, entering play from any Entry Point on any Turn after the 1st.


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: The very air of these chambers is tainted by the warp energies spilling from beyond that door. The deck plating undulates, the walls breath, and the recycled air burns with unholy fire.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 45 Allotment plus any bonus accrued by the Doomclock. The GM must use a portion of this Allotment to purchase either a Miniboss or Boss Monster that can fit in the Control Room. As long as this Boss model stays within 1" of the Terminal that is also in that room, the GM may nominate any Entry Point on the table at the start of each of their Turns and roll 3D6. Whatever the total becomes additional Allotment models that must deploy from that nominated Entry Point.

The remainder of the GM's starting Allotment may be Deployed anywhere in the 16" zone the Control Room is also in. Models that do not fit, or that the GM wishes to hold on to, may be placed into Reserve, deploying from any Entry Point at least 9" away from any Deathwatch models, at the start of any Turn after the 1st.


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: This ancient chamber is well-maintained; its brass fittings polished to a shine that denies its ancient manufacture. But the stink of chaos is here, too, and the whimsy of the machines, bright colors on the walls, and the high chitter of insects crawling through the wires denies the function of its purpose. When we are done slaughtering our enemies, we will put this very chamber to the torch as well.


Mission Consequence
If the player(s) manage to gain control of the Terminal, they may deploy 2 twin linked heavy bolters that recognize the Deathwatch as Friend and the Adversaries as foe at the start of Mission 9. If they destroy or salvage it, instead all Doors in Mission 9 count as Compromised.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 40 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock, plus any other bonuses accrued. These Adversaries may be set up anywhere on the battlefield at least 9" from any board edge and at least 9" from any Marine Deployment zone. Any Allotment not spent and placed on Turn 1, may be held in Reserve, deploying 3" away from any Entry Point at the start of any Turn after tge 1st


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: Pulsing color and nightmare visions dominate this room, raw chaos spilling forth from the damaged warp core. Horrors spill forth to engage the Marines. It is likely that this chamber was once the most ornately and arcanely decorated on the Battleship, but has long since fallen into decay, corruption, and ruin.


GM's final notes: hah, "final", that's funny. This is the official last Mission of the campaign, but there will be more to come, including all the Side Missions, all the arrivals of other vessels and the complications they cause, additional options for Adversaries and Allotment, and probably a few more complete campaigns. Stay tuned.

Forbidden Knowledge
The interior of the Prow is a twisted ruin of battered corridors, old void-scarred breaches, and spent shell casings from a hundred half-melted turret guns. Swimming through the zero-g carnage takes perseverance and determination - of which the Deathwatch has plenty. The Bank room itself is a tiny armored cage crammed into the heart of a convoluted system of ammo-feeds, mechanical turret rings, and crisscrossing gangways for crew and discharge. The ancient and corroded corpse of an Admech servant remains hardwired into the primary core, its bones bent and spurred like thorn bushes. It is this dead sentinel that pinpoints the Objective.

Treasures
Have the players roll a D6 for each Marine assigned to this Mission at the End. On the roll of a 4+, apply the result from the table below.

4: a heavily damaged datapad. Its Power Level is Dead. This object may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6 Esteem. Alternatively and/or additionally, players may hold on to the datapad and attempt to glean information from it. Between Missions, any marine with the Tech Skill may roll as if the datapad's Power Level was Minuscule. If successful, the pad reveals minor data regarding some aspect of life aboard the ancient vessel. This grants the entire Deathwatch complement +1XP (this is an important distinction if your group is composed of multiple squads, because it grants XP to all the marines in every squad, even those not on the roster yet - meaning Cohorts gained later will begin play with this +1XP). Using Tech like this does not count towards that Skill's Rating for the previous or upcoming Mission.

5: a machine fragment. The obscure nature of this somehow-still-powered object makes it inscrutable to the Deathwatch, but the Admech will practically lose their minds to have it. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6+1 Esteem.

6: a cache of irradiated shotgun shells (from the corpses of boarding-repulser teams). These shells can be combined with an Astartes Shotgun and have the following profile. Enough Shells are found that they can be added to the available wargear list.

Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Special Rules

05 / 01* / 01* / Irradiated Shell / Models equipped with these shells gain the Irradiated Trait. Sapping, Shocking

*Shotgun Shells weigh little individually. This Capacity is for every 24 Shotgun Shells carried by the model in excess of what's loaded into their weapon.
*This Cost is per individual bullet.

Allotment: the GM begins play with 20 Allotment plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock, plus any other bonuses accrued. The GM deploys their models first, deploying as much or as little of their forces as they like anywhere on the far side of the Trench or within 3" of any Entry Point. Any models not deployed are held in Reserve and can deploy from any Entry Point on any turn after the first.


Generic Forbidden Knowledge tidbits
For narrative purpose: Everything here is damaged - burned by the passage of an ancient plasma shell from one side of the ship through to the other. Bulkheads, inches thick, are twisted and melted like wilted sheets of cheese. No surface, no machine is untouched, save a single chamber on the far side of the devastating rent in the hull. Incongruously, impossibly untouched, the chamber's walls have been incinerated away, leaving the interior - and the stassis pod therein - utterly untouched.

This Mission becomes subject to the rules for Mundane Events as soon as the first Marine model crosses the Trench.

The Stassis Pod
"So what's inside the pod?" you ask. It's an ancient Thousand Sons "lieutenant" of sorts. A sorcerer who evaded the Flesh Change or defeated its spread by replacing his mutations with arcane cybernetics. Trapped in the time-isolating stassis capsule, this Marine avoided both the Council of Nikea and the Rubric of Ahriman, remaining a mid-level psyker for 11 thousand years that to him, have not passed.

Players have two options if they retrieve the pod. The first is to simply trade it to the Magnites or Catalogists for 2D3x10 Esteem. The second is to open the pod and add a strange new "black shield" to the squad. If player(s) opt for the Black Shield, the player whose model has the least Renown controls this model. Use the following profile and rules for this model.

"Y'azidrind Thrallseer"
M 6" WS 3+ BS 3+ S 4 T 4 W * A 1 Ld 8 Sv 3+ Skill 4+
Standard Load Out: by Specialty; First Founding Specialties only.
Bonus Skills: Psychic Sense (1), Command (1)
Bonus Renown: +10
Command Points (if using): +1
Chapter Trait: Psyker Supreme: this model counts as a Librarian for the purposes of Psychic Power Talent restrictions. If this model also has Cohesion3 or better, it may cast 2 Psychic Powers per Turn instead of one. This model begins play with 5 Corruption.
Bonus Talents: Cohesion0, Cyborg, Psychic Power: Smite, Psychic Power: Veil of Time, Psychic Power: Gaze of Fate (see Codex: Thousand Sons), Warp Token.
Skill and Talent Trees: Y'azidrind gains a discount on Morale and Miscellaneous Talents equal to their Tier. He may purchase additional Ratings for his Command and Psychic Sense Skills for 3XP per Rating, and may purchase Ratings in any other Skill for 9XP per Rating

Signature Wargear:Y'azidrind Thrallseer may take any of the following Wargear for free
Rune of Mastery may ignore the first Perils of the Warp per Mission
Crusade Plate Reduce any Wounds inflicted by Events by 1 (to a minimum of 0).
Astartes Khopesh Strength +2, AP -, Damage 1. An Astartes Khopesh may be used two-handed. A model may sacrifice 1 of its Attacks to improve this weapon's AP to -1. A model equipped with an Astartes Khopesh cannot fire their pistol if they are in Engagement Range.
Bolter Drum Mag magazine 36
Phobos Pattern Bolter RoF 1|2-4/- When fired in Burst Mode, add +6" to this weapon's range.

*If your group is using whole squads per player, Y'azidrind begins play with 3 Wounds. If your group uses 1 Marine per participant, Y'azidrind is a great way to introduce a casual to the campaign or to give a player who seems to always get the short end of the stick a real morale boost. In this case Y'azidrind begins play with 5 Wounds.

Forbidden Knowledge
The bowels of this wreck are a twisting, confusing network of cramped maintenance tunnels, warrens of hullghasts and other monstrosities, and compacted chambers buckled by failing gravity plates and an Epoch of disrepair. Too easy to get lost in.

Treasures
Have the players roll a D6 for each Marine assigned to this Mission at the end. Add +1 to this roll for every Reactor repaired. On the roll of a 4+, apply the result from the table below.

4-5: a heavily damaged datapad. Its Power Level is Dead. This object may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6 Esteem. Alternatively and/or additionally, players may hold on to the datapad and attempt to glean information from it. Between Missions, any marine with the Tech Skill may roll as if the datapad's Power Level was Minuscule. If successful, the pad reveals minor data regarding some aspect of life aboard the ancient vessel. This grants the entire Deathwatch complement +1XP (this is an important distinction if your group is composed of multiple squads, because it grants XP to all the marines in every squad, even those not on the roster yet - meaning Cohorts gained later will begin play with this +1XP). Using Tech like this does not count towards that Skill's Rating for the previous or upcoming Mission.

6: a machine fragment. The obscure nature of this somehow-still-powered object makes it inscrutable to the Deathwatch, but the Admech will practically lose their minds to have it. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6+1 Esteem.

7: a cache of D6x10 heavily-irradiated shotgun shells (from the corpses of boarding-repulser teams). These shells can be combined with an Astartes Shotgun and have the following profile.

Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Special Rules
15 / 02* / 01* / Heavily-Irradiated Shell / Models equipped with these shells gain the Irradiated and Miasmic2 Traits. Sapping, Shocking, Enfeebling.

*Shotgun Shells weigh little individually. This Capacity is for every 24 Shotgun Shells carried by the model in excess of what's loaded into their weapon.
*This Cost is per individual bullet.

8: an emplaced Autolaser Tarantula. Its ammunition is depleted, but it can be reloaded with the same magazines used for lascannons. The Machine spirit still functions, albeit with odd idiosyncracies.

Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Rate of Fire / Primary Magazine/ Special Rules
35 / 20 / 08 / Relic Autolaser Tarantula / 2D6|D6+6|12 / 60 / At the start of every Turn after this weapon has been emplaced roll a D6. On a 2+ treat the number rolled as this weapon's Ballistic Skill for this Turn. On a 1 the weapon cannot fire this Turn. Note that, because this weapon has a variable die roll for Single and Burst, it only expends 1 "bullet" and 2 "bullets respectively for those fire modes. However, it expends a full 12 "bullets" when firing in Full Auto. Strength 6, AP-, Damage 1, 48" range.

9: a single Phobos Pattern Bolter equipped with an Arcane Sight.

Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Rate of Fire / Primary Magazine/ Special Rules
20 / 10 / 02 / Relic Phobos Pattern Bolter (with Arcane Sight) / 1|2-4/- / 16 / When fired in Burst Mode, add +6" to this weapon's range. The Arcane Site grants the following ability: if the shooting model does not Move or Advance and fires only a Single shot in its first Shooting Phase after not Moving or Advancing, that shot gains an additional -2 AP AND +2 Damage. Each time this ability is used the marine must take a Toughness test. If they fail they gain +1 Corruption.

10: D3 Xenotech Chainpistols
50 / 15 / 01 / Chainpistol (Xenotech Pistol) / 1|2|- / 5 / Strength 3, AP -1, Range 18", Damage 1. Stunning, Conflagration, Catastrophic

11-12: a single Disruptor (Xenotech Rifle)
50 / 25 / 02 / Disruptor (Xenotech Rifle) / 1|2-3|4 / 5 / Strength 3*, AP -*. Range 36". Damage 1*.
*Each time this weapon is fired after the first, increase its Strength by +1, its AP by -1, and its Damage by +1.

13+: roll 2D6 and apply the result on this table, treating a roll of 2 and 3 as a 4. The Marine finds +D3 duplicates of the given entry.

Forbidden Knowledge
The Hidden Vault isn't much different from the unhidden vaults, except that it's a little smaller and a lot cleaner. Sealed for an Age, little has disturbed these chambers or the contents within.

Treasures
In addition to discovering a few truly arcane items, have each of the player(s) who deployed a Marine on this Mission roll a D6. On the roll of a 2+, apply the result from the table below.

2: a heavily damaged datapad. Its Power Level is Dead. This object may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6 Esteem. Alternatively and/or additionally, players may hold on to the datapad and attempt to glean information from it. Between Missions, any marine with the Tech Skill may roll as if the datapad's Power Level was Minuscule. If successful, the pad reveals minor data regarding some aspect of life aboard the ancient vessel. This grants the entire Deathwatch complement +1XP (this is an important distinction if your group is composed of multiple squads, because it grants XP to all the marines in every squad, even those not on the roster yet - meaning Cohorts gained later will begin play with this +1XP). Using Tech like this does not count towards that Skill's Rating for the previous or upcoming Mission.

3: a machine fragment. The obscure nature of this somehow-still-powered object makes it inscrutable to the Deathwatch, but the Admech will practically lose their minds to have it. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6+1 Esteem.

4: a cache of Scorpius Bolter Rounds. These Rounds can be combined with any Astartes Bolter, Stormbolter, Angelus, Combi-, or Relic version thereof for Threshold 3 per bullet and Renown Cost 2 per bullet, and have the following profile. D3 boxes are found and each box contains 20 Rounds.

Strength +2, AP-2, Damage D3. Versus targets with the <Vehicle> keyword increase Damage to D6.

Standard Bolter Reload would be Threshold 24 and cost 16 Renown, whereas a Bolter Longmag would be Threshold 36 and cost 24 Renown. An Integral Mag would be Threshold 09 and cost 06 Renown. Likewise, a Standard Stormbolter Reload would be Threshold 54 and cost 36 Renown, whereas a Stormbolter Boxmag would be Threshold 108 and cost 72 Renown.

5: a box of 6 Phobos Pattern Bolters
Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Rate of Fire / Primary Magazine/ Special Rules
10 / 03 / 02 / Phobos Pattern Bolter (Relic Bolter) / 1|2-4/- / 16 / When fired in Burst Mode, add +6" to this weapon's range.

6: an Auto-repair Kit
100 / 15 / 01 / Auto-repair Kit (Relic Tool) / the bearer of this Relic may use it to automatically pass a Tech Skill test up to 3 times per Mission. A Rating must still be expended.

The True Treasures of the Hidden Vault
The Crown of Sehkmet and Its Attendant Automata
Just a single Crown has been left behind. This Relic resembles a Psychic Hood in its design, albeit more crown than hood. It is designed to socket over the helmet of a Space Marine or Terminator and allows the bearer to control up to 3 Battle Automata simultaneously.

In alcoves surrounding the hallowed emplacement of the Crown stand 3 dormant Automata, their consciousnesses slaved to the device they stare at. Any model equipped with the Crown may automatically also be deployed with 1-3 of the attending Automata found in this Vault. As long as the bearer neither Moves nor Advances, they may Move and Advance up to 3 of their Automata. As long as the bearer does not Shoot, they may instead Shoot with up to 3 of their Automata, applying any Shooting Talents they may have to 1 of those Automata. As long as the bearer does not Charge, they may instead Charge with up to 3 of their Automata, applying any Melee Talents they may have to 1 of those Automata. If the Automata are themselves Charged, they fight to defend themselves as normal. A model equipped with the Crown cannot use Psychic Powers, but may still attempt to Deny the Witch. At the end of any Turn where the model equipped with the Crown used any of its abilities to control Automata, roll a D6. On the roll of a 1, that model gains +1 Corruption.

150 / 150 / 01 / Crown of Sehkmet (Relic) / see above for description of abilities
150 / 80 / ** / Battle Automata (Relic Cohort) / weapons as armed; stats to be found in appropriate Codex or Forgeworld Book.

**Battle Automata carry themselves into battle.

GMs, the nature of these Automata is up to you. The author suggests Castellax or Vorax Battle Automata, but understands not everyone has $200 to drop on 3 models from forgeworld. Alternatives could be Space Marine Dreadnaughts, Admech Dragoons, Mauler- or Forgefiends, Kastelan Robots, or similar large robo-beasts from your collection.

Forbidden Knowledge
What's to describe? The cogitator bank is plated in ivory with gold inlay and has keys that look like jewel-encrusted rings. Your Marines will spend an inordinate amount of time in front of it, trying to decipher the arcane patterns that appear on screen.

Treasures
There is no treasure on this Mission. Just that Algorithm. Having the Algorithm grants +1 to all future Tech Skill rolls dealing with Doors and Keypads for the remainder of the Campaign and while on the [++Redacted++].

Forbidden Knowledge
The very corridors and rooms shift and turn, the path in any direction never the same twice. I fear our Marines may be lost in this labyrinth forever, or else go mad deciphering its puzzle.

Treasures
In addition to the Cogitator Core, Marines may stumble upon other items of note in their Wanderings. Have each Marines deployed on this Mission roll a D6. On the roll of a 2+, apply the result from the table below.

2: a heavily damaged datapad. Its Power Level is Dead. This object may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6 Esteem. Alternatively and/or additionally, players may hold on to the datapad and attempt to glean information from it. Between Missions, any marine with the Tech Skill may roll as if the datapad's Power Level was Minuscule. If successful, the pad reveals minor data regarding some aspect of life aboard the ancient vessel. This grants the entire Deathwatch complement +1XP (this is an important distinction if your group is composed of multiple squads, because it grants XP to all the Marines in every squad, even those not on the roster yet - meaning Cohorts gained later will begin play with this +1XP). Using Tech like this does not count towards that Skill's Rating for the previous or upcoming Mission.

3: a machine fragment. The obscure nature of this somehow-still-powered object makes it inscrutable to the Deathwatch, but the Admech will practically lose their minds to have it. This item may be traded to any Admech Faction from the list above (under "In service to Whom") for +D6+1 Esteem.

4: a cache of Scorpius Bolter Rounds. These Rounds can be combined with any Astartes Bolter, Stormbolter, Angelus, Combi-, or Relic version thereof for Threshold 3 per bullet and Renown Cost 2 per bullet, and have the following profile. D3 boxes are found and each box contains 20 Rounds.

Strength +2, AP-2, Damage D3. Versus targets with the <Vehicle> keyword increase Damage to D6.

Standard Bolter Reload would be Threshold 24 and cost 16 Renown, whereas a Bolter Longmag would be Threshold 36 and cost 24 Renown. An Integral Mag would be Threshold 09 and cost 06 Renown. Likewise, a Standard Stormbolter Reload would be Threshold 54 and cost 36 Renown, whereas a Stormbolter Boxmag would be Threshold 108 and cost 72 Renown.

5: a charnel house of dead Servitors. Whether this was once a repair station or just a room that became inscrutably clogged with dying Servitors is totally unknown, but the room is a trove of cybernetic augmentations. Roll 2D3; this is the number of still-functioning cybernetics the Marine retrieves. They can be traded to the Replicanticle for +2D3 Esteem each or saved to reduce the cost of any purchase of the Cyborg Talent by 1XP per piece used. Using any piece in this way destroys it.

6: a Reliquary of ancient doodads. Roll a D6 for each Marine deployed on this Mission. On a 4+, apply the result below. Additionally, the Reliquary will always contain a single Auto-Repair Kit and an Auto-Med Kit.

-4: D6x10 Breacher Shotgun Shells

Threshold / Cost / Capacity / Item / Special Rules
04 / 02* / 01* / Breacher Shell / +1 Strength and AP versus targets within 3". Additionally, if these shells are used to attack a Wall or Door, it may reroll Wounds.

-5: Emergency Homing Beacon. This item can be used to Teleport the model carrying it off the table, even if the Teleportarium is not functioning due to a Narrative Setback. Alternatively, a model equipped with this item allows another model to be Held in Reserve on any Mission and Teleport onto the table anywhere within 3" of the model equipped with the Emergency Homing Beacon, as long as it is also at least 9" away from any enemy models. Every time this Beacon is used roll a D6. On the roll of a 1 it stops working and can then be traded to any Admech Faction for +1 Esteem.

-6: Emergency Auto-Seal. This small device activates as soon as decompression occurs, springing from the carrier's belt to form a flexible seal in the closest corridor, trapping oxygen and averting expulsion into the void. This device automatically works when the Mundane Event Explosive Decompression triggers. Any corridor within 6" of the model, in the direction of the Decompression, becomes Sealed, counting henceforth as a Wall until the end of the Mission. If the model carrying the Emergency Auto-Seal is lucky, this will create a Safe Zone, which they are behind. If they are unlucky, it just creates a new path by which the model gets sucked out into space anyway. In either case, the Emergency Auto-Seal is destroyed after one use. The controlling player decides where the Auto-Seal is actually placed, within that 6" range.
