	Basically, the Crimson Consuls decided to <s>put</s> teleport all of their special-snowflake eggs into one massive floating basket, and (much to their chagrin) that "basket" ended up being thrown straight into the Warp. And really, war means taking risks. If you don't take the risks needed to win, you lose. It's that simple. But remember: this is just the beginning of the Chapter's death knell.

	*Important note: the “Alpharius” in the story reveals to Artegall that he is in fact an Alpha Legion <i>Captain</i> known as '''Quetzal Carthach''', a [[Chaos Lord]] who had made his life mission to wipe out Ultramarine successors. The Captain in his title may say more about how his force is organized than he lets on. Quetzal would later reappear in the book ''Sons of the Hydra'' where he was busy fucking over more Ultramarines for shits and giggles. Apparently he claims that he was on Eskrador when Alpharius died, (this is doubted by the novel’s main character, another Alpha Legionnaire from a separate warband) and that this is the reason for his hatred of Ultramarine chapters, towards whom he has a superiority/inferiority complex. Notably both the Long Games at Carcharias and Sons of the Hydra were written by Rob Sanders. In the end Quetzal was devoured by warp beasts after being outplayed by Occam, the aforementioned Legionnaire whom he tried to betray~~. No, Occam does not have a razor~~. Still, over his long history and before his demise at the hands of his own legion, he would manage to cause the destruction of no less than ''four'' chapters near the [[Maelstrom]] region.		*Important note: the “Alpharius” in the story reveals to Artegall that he is in fact an Alpha Legion <i>Captain</i> known as '''Quetzal Carthach''', a [[Chaos Lord]] who had made his life mission to wipe out Ultramarine successors.

With the sounds of battle dying outside, and with his comrades being executed by the Black Legionnaires, Chapter Master Artegall realized that he was, quite literally, the last of the Crimson Consuls. Formerly the leader of a thousand proud superhuman soldiers, he now led no one but himself.

	Desperate, Artegall managed to break free from his captors and flee to his personal Armoury, but was shot in the leg and crippled right before he sealed the door. To his pleasant surprise, he discovered that he was not alone after all; his master-crafted Bolter had been taken by Baldwin, his Chamber Castellan ~~and~~ a loyal [[Chapter Serf]]. But his relief quickly turned to shock, as Baldwin, who was recruited from the underhives, slowly turned the Bolter to face his old master.

	To the creeping dread of the Crimson Consuls officers, they discovered the Chancellorium was already occupied by a contingent of Chaos Space Marines from the Black Legion, who were led by an Alpha Legion officer who claimed to be none other than the [[Primarch]] [[Alpharius]]. "Alpharius" explained that in the fashion of the Alpha Legion, he had worked for decades to lay a series of traps and intrigues intended to destroy the Crimson Consuls so that he might hand over their precious [[Gene-seed\|gene-seed]] stores to [[Abaddon\|Abaddon the Despoiler]] and his Black Legion so that their ranks might be replenished before the unleashing of the [[Black Crusade\|13th Black Crusade.]]		To the creeping dread of the Crimson Consuls officers, they discovered the Chancellorium was already occupied by a contingent of Chaos Space Marines from the Black Legion, who were led by an Alpha Legion officer who claimed to be none other than the [[Primarch]] [[Alpharius]]. "Alpharius" (whose true identity was Quetzel Carthach, the Harrowmaster of the Alpha Legion) explained that in the fashion of the Alpha Legion, he had worked for decades to lay a series of traps and intrigues intended to destroy the Crimson Consuls so that he might hand over their precious [[Gene-seed\|gene-seed]] stores to [[Abaddon\|Abaddon the Despoiler]] and his Black Legion so that their ranks might be replenished before the unleashing of the [[Black Crusade\|13th Black Crusade.]]

	"Alpharius" revealed that he had gotten the Crimson Consuls to turn upon one another by psycho-indoctrinating all of the Chapter's recruits before they were ever even Aspirants by lacing the walls of the underhives of Charcharias' hive cities with psycho-sensitive graffiti, essentially turning them into unwitting time-bombs ready to gut the Chapter from the inside out. Since the Crimson Consuls only recruited their new Astartes from the gangers of the underhives on Carcharias, every Aspirant they chose was already corrupted before the first gene-seed organ was even implanted ([[Skub\|it's arguable psycho-indoctrination would have purged this as it re-writes the individual's psychology and at least one implant also aids in this, rendering this method of brainwashing actually impossible by 40K's own standards]]). Only the officers, many of whom had been with the Chapter for many centuries, had been recruited before the Alpha Legion's insidious trap had been laid. As it turns out, High Chaplain Enobarbus was an unfortunate firsthand witness to this when he was shot to pieces by his trainees and tossed down the tall, cold heights of the hives. And in one of the most deliciously vile moments in Warhammer 40K history, "Alpharius" detailed in excruciating detail how he pulled off one of the most intricate deceptions this side of [[Eldrad\|The Dick,]] [[Cegorach]], and [[Mephet'ran\|the Deceiver:]]		"Alpharius" revealed that he had gotten the Crimson Consuls to turn upon one another by psycho-indoctrinating all of the Chapter's recruits before they were ever even Aspirants by lacing the walls of the underhives of Charcharias' hive cities with psycho-sensitive graffiti, essentially turning them into unwitting time-bombs ready to gut the Chapter from the inside out.
