A Rogue Cell...

Plane of Steel Infiltration Cell (#27/31, #300/365)

Covert operatives from the Plane of Steel have established a safe-house in a nondescript tenement in the Slaughter Quarter of Thagwar, masked by the blood, gore and dying screams of food-creatures being processed. Comprising 2-12 Demonspawn, 2-7 Chaos Warriors, 2 Chaos Champions and an Iron Demon, Velantha the Vicious, this infiltration cell is tasked with both gathering intelligence for Sith, back on the Plane of Steel, as well as keeping an eye out for rival machine and technomancy-based entities and organizations, and sabotaging them to prevent any progress. Whilst the Gargantus Scrap Yard has thus been a target for low-level provocations, the cell currently remains ignorant of the continuing existence of the Machine Mage, though they are searching for its lost grimoire, "Better Living Through Autonomous Compartmentalized Technology".

Complicating matters is Velantha's cover-story as a gladiator at the Circus Demonicus, the renowned 'Kerintha of the Twin Sabres', who, with each win, attracts further scrutiny by agents of both Myurr and the First Overlord. Velantha knows of an even safer bolt-hole further north, at the Pit of Endless Nightmares, and plans a hasty retreat to there if her unmasking looks imminent or they find the grimoire (heavily disguised Chaos Warriors have been making daily forays to both the Book Quarter and the Thagwar Archival Library to browse through the stacks, shelves and filing cabinets in their quest for the Machine Mage's forgotten opus).
