Above the feral world of Llandris the small rocky moon that  housed the now empty fortress monastery of the Death Whispers Space Marine Chapter swung through the dark heavens it was silent now but not empty for the death of a Marine chapter still squatted in its emptiness.

Moments later The Deathwatch frigate Fiat Imperitus  slid out of the warp and into real space in response to the calls of the astreogaths on LLandris repeater station alerting them that something terrible had happened on the small rocky moon which housed the still building fortress monastery of the Death Whisper Space marine chapter. Shortly there was a meeting between watch master Alicor & inquisitor Verxtris  & it was decided that a reconnaissance had to be conducted to determine the fate of the Death whispers & how the massively  armed fortress had been seemingly overcome by enemies, for whilst having only an honour company of fifty marines from its predecessor chapter as garrison it was possessed of the full deferences crewed by servitors  which should have given pause to a battle fleet....

& the honour company was not alone as the fortress housed nearly two thousand neophyte space marines though most where at least five years away form the completion of the implant process & a full compliment of Techpriests & Apothecaries to over see the process  not to mention the construction servitors of which there where thousands. Yet it had fallen seemingly & the powerful sensorium suite of the  Fiat Imperitus as it lay well beyond the range of the fortresses guns which could shatter it in an instant should it close, could detect no trace of any battle no damage, debris,  not even the single discharge of the least of the least of the fortresses awe-inspiring planetary defence weapons batteries

Less than an hour latter the five marines assigned to R-team 763 pulled away form the  Fiat Imperitus their Thunderhawk gunship twisting through space as if dodging incoming fire  even though the guns of the great fortress remained silent as the Strike crafts defensive machine spirits wove their warding web to prevent the fortresses weapons gaining a targeting solution

With the nimble strike craft still jinking and weaving to avoid the so far non existent defensive fire form the fortress monastery, the team gained its first close look at the place. even to the Marines well trained eye it seemed undamaged the only thing that was at all untoward was that the landing bay doors where open. They gaped  in a manner which would have unerved lesser mortals rather like the maw of some great but silent stone beast
