The Gnostekh Archive

The Gnostekh Archive
In 443.M41, a Mechanicus Explorator team uncovered several relics on Plinth. One appeared to be a stone pyramid, constructed from an inert stone that somehow reflected any scans. For several centuries the Mechanicus attempted to determine if it had any purpose or value, before abandoning it as a piece of useless art.

The relic was donated for display at the Netherbridge Institure, a universitariat famed for it's collection of Xenos archaeotech, in 847.M41. Little did the Mechanicus know that they had doomed the employees of the Netherbridge Institute to a grisly fate.

Reclaimers
In 901.M41, shortly after the Necron awakening on Plinth, a small force of Eldar attempted to seize the artifact, knowing it's true nature. Known in myth as teh Gnostekh archive, the seemingly inert device contained detaiiled records of several Tomb Worlds hidden in the Xaphan Sector. Should the Eldar gain access to the Archive, they would be able to lead pre-emptive strikes on the dormant Tomb Worlds.

Unfortunately, they were not the only ones interested in the Archive.

The King In Yellow, newly returned from his exile in the Outer Dark, dispatched a score of his menials to reclaim the Archive and return it to it's rightful owners.

Netherbridge Burns.
The Eldar struck without warming, slaughtering their way to the Stasis vault containing the Archive, leveling half the buildings around them in their hurry to beat the Necrons to the punch. As the Institute burned around them, the Necrons teleported in, gauss weapons blazing.

Several Eldar were stripped down to their component molecules, but the Necrons had arrived too late. Casting a sneer behind them, the Eldar dragged the Archive into the webway.

Incoherent Rage
With the Archive lost, the King In Yellow swore revenge on his ancient foes. Soon the Eldar would pay dearly for their transgressions.

Meanwhile the surviving members of the Netherbridge Institute pick through the ruins, to make a terrible discovery. In their rush to reach the Archive, several dozen other Stasis Vaults were breached by both Xenos forces. Dozens of artefacts, some with horrific purpose, are now missing. Who knows what new hell the Eldar have unleashed upon the innocent citizens of the Xaphan Sector.
