Editing The 13th Black Crusade (section)

===Worst. News. Ever.===

Creed kept a vigilant watch and had his men under constant drill, but Creed was busy with another plan. Working with '''Magos Klarn''', he had parts from the ruined psychic choir at Kasr Luten salvaged to make a make-shift beacon that he hoped would create a signal powerful enough to get a call for reinforcements out. Despite grave misgivings from many under his command, Creed ordered a message to be sent. The message got out, but at the cost of the rest of his Astropaths and Sanctioned Psykers. Welp, there goes the Psychic Phase then.

It was then that the defense monitor '''Pyrax Orchades''', its superstructure damaged and its crew mostly dead, returned as the sole survivor of the recon fleet that left several weeks earlier. It came with news -- the true bulk of the Black Fleet was inbound, with the [[Blackstone Fortress]] finally confirmed to be among its vast number.

Creed's worst fear had come to pass. Round two was about to begin.
