THE EXODITE

We were off target.

Our targeting drones
are as accurate as ever.

Would it be wise to cloak, Shas'vre?

Cloaking wastes power we will need.

Fire burns when it needs to, not before.

We push onward.

We are too small to notice amongst all this.

Might it be wise to use some of
that power to keep ahead of our quarry?

If not too cloak then poor in arid bags.

Taking enemy fire.
Locking on target.

We can't hold here.

If we risk the aircraft we shall
be obliterated like our kin.

Dorom.

They did not die needlessly.

They burned brightly for the greater good.

To honor them we must locate
and capture the Aeldari.

I understand, Shas'vre.

how close are we?

Drone reconnaissance indicate that we
are approaching the beacon.

Then lead the way.

We are too late.

The Aeldari has already
activated the beacon.

Where will we go next?

This beacon is one of many that
is feeling a growing convergence.

Somewhere here.

Each beacon contributes
energy to a vocal one.

Logically a pattern indicates this will be
the next beacon to be activated.

How long until the
defensive network triggers?

It does not matter.
We are human For the Aeldari.

The convergence is almost complete.

I would recommend we prepare an ambush here.

If our prey needs to activate the
next beacon he will be going there now.

As must we.

Now is the time to risk the sky.

Perfect, Mont'ka

Humans die easily to the k*lling blow.

Secure the site.

It will be here soon.

The beacon is inert.

Stealth field, now!

Incapacitate only.

We taking him alive.

No!

Their fire has gone out.

but it burned brightly.

We shall carry their embers to the end.

And we will return for your ashes.

All is for the greater good.

For the greater good.

It could have k*lled us all.

It came for the beacon.

We were just in his way.

Next time we shall be hunters.

Only the central hub remains inactive.

We will corner him there, Shas'vre.

Systems ready.
On your word, Shas...

Go, Now.
