After the events at Deliverance, Kage starts fighting with Choreks Imperial Guardsmen. However, this does not last long as Colonel Schaeffer comes and forces Kage and the others to leave on a new mission. They are lead back to their transport ship, the "Pride of Lothus", and they are then sent to the Typhon Sector to a system called XV/108. Recently, the base on the deathworld, Lost Hope, has dropped all communication. After landing at the planet, they are attacked by a giant lizard.
They eventually defeat the lizard and make it to the base, discovering only Lieutenant Hopkins. He describes the recent events leading up to the disappearance of everyone else on the base and Colonel Schaeffer decides that they must go to the "Heart of the Jungle", the only other place on the planet mentioned by Hopkins. Arriving there, the area turned out to be controlled by a tyranid-like beast called the "god plant" that has used the commander of the planet's forces, Captain Nepetine, to lure the humans to the area to be devoured. After battling against the plant and cutting their way free, Schaeffer orders a bombardment on the plant before they return to transport.
Their next destination is another penal colony in the Hypernol system. Before they arrive, Schaeffer brings two mysterious, pale twins, named Loron and Lorii. As they approach the planet, their pilot dies and they crash land, bursting into an underground cave. While repairing the ship, Kage and the others are attacked by strange alien bugs.
