Editing Gellar Field (section)

==Going to Shit, Possibly Literally So==
As of the opening of the Great Rift, [[Nurgle]] has devised an insidious new plague that has allowed him to bypass the shielding of the Gellar Fields. The <s>"Gellarpox"</s> {{Blam}} {{Blam|Engineer's Syndrome}} works by infecting the laborers who maintain the Gellar Field generators, and more importantly it spreads through ''the generator itself'' (luckily, said generator has to be malfunctioning, but even a single minor malfunction can cause it to be infected). The infected humans show no initial symptoms other than strange dreams, but are subtly compelled to sabotage their work so the Gellar Field begins to weaken. When the time is right, they mutate and the infected generator turns into a horrific mass of biomechanical infectious tissue that endlessly spawns mutants, abominations, and the occasional daemon, almost certainly dooming the voidship the generator was formerly a part of.   Although, it seems to keep doing its job (at least for a bit, since if the 'psyker battery' thing is true it'll eventually kill them) so if you can hold the line until entering Realspace and then blast the thing, you have a chance. 

However, it should be noted that when it comes to finagling their way through a Gellar Field, Slaanesh actually beat Nurgle to the punch. See, there's a specialized type of Daemonette from Dark Heresy called a [[Lady of the Voids]]. Mainly popping up around the Calixis Sector, these daemonettes are basically sirens, luring weary astropaths into lapsing for but a moment, allowing themselves to possess them and fuck up the ship.
