This forced Sureka to intervene and she asked Sulaiman to evade and keep them alive, long enough for her to ask for help. The confused Captain agreed, not knowing that Sureka was in fact a [[Perpetual]], who had been in psychic contact with one of her brethren, since they neared the Sol System. Known as [[John Grammaticus]], he had repeatedly offered to help Molech's Enlightenment safely reach Terra, if Sureka would tell him where the missing Perpetual [[Oll Persson]] was. Sureka had refused to help him before, due to their troubled history together and not knowing where Persson was, but with the Molech's Enlightenment facing certain destruction, she contacted John and agreed to his deal. With her aid secured, John used his influence with the Imperium, to call off the attack on the Molech's Enlightenment, which had been mere moments from being destroyed. The Destroyer was then escorted to Terra by the [[Battleship]] [[Cardinal Boras]], where the survivors of Molech safely disembarked. While Sureka and her family viewed Terra's sky, she was confronted by [[Khalid Hassan]], who had been [[Malcador's Chosen|sent to bring]] the Perpetual to [[Malcador the Sigillite]]. However, Sureka refused to go with him, which caused Khalid to tell her he would force her to go if necessary. Before he could make good on his threat though, the grateful survivors of Molech appeared and carried Sureka and her family away from Khalid, oblivious as to what was happening between them. The agent of Malcador could only shake his head and return to his vehicle as the crowd swept passed him, but Sureka knew she had not seen the last of him.{{Fn|3}}
During the [[Siege of Terra]] Alivia Sureka and her "family" dwelt in the miserable refugee camps of the [[Imperial Palace|inner palace]]. However she was soon confronted by [[Khalid Hassan]], who had been sent by [[Malcador the Sigillite]] to recruit her for a mission. Alivia agreed, provided her family could be moved to better conditions inside the [[Sanctum Imperialis]].{{Fn|4}} Sureka and Malcador waited at the shores of a subterranean lake deep beneath the Imperial Palace until [[Magnus the Red]] and his small entourage of [[Thousand Sons]] arrived. Sureka engaged in a brief game of regicide with the Crimson King at the behest of Malcador, but when Magnus learned the lost [[Shards of Magnus|lost shard he sought]] was now [[Janus|beyond his reach]] he became enraged and seemingly slew the Sigillite. Shortly after Sureka was blown apart by a bolter shell fired by [[Atrahasis]].{{Fn|4a}} When Alivia Sureka regenerated and awoke, the Thousand Sons have moved on and she came before the charred remains of Malcador. Alivia transferred her immortal life essence into Malcador to revive him as she died to thoughts of her family.{{Fn|4b}}
