Eventually Pech was dispatched by an unknown party to aid the Emperor during the [[Siege of Terra]]. His hypno-trigger phrase "Xenophon" was activated, as opposed to "Sagittary" (loyalty to Horus), "Paramius" (mutual annihilation), or "Orphaeus" (ignore both sides and focus on battling Chaos). However, he soon fell under the control of the witch [[Actae]], who used her psychic powers to activate "Orphaeus" and make him her slave. Now going by "Alpharius", Actae and Pech were able to join [[Ollanius Persson]], [[John Grammaticus]], and [[Argonauts|their group]] in infiltrating the [[Imperial Palace]]. At a hidden Alpha Legion arms cache in the depths of the [[Imperial Dungeon]], Pech was able to activate a psi-dampening device he found to explain his plight to John Grammaticus, pleading for help.{{Fn|5a}} John agreed to help Pech, and the First Captain saved the [[Perpetual]] from an attack by Alpha Legion 2nd Captain [[Mathias Herzog]], who had been sent under the trigger "Sagittary".{{Fn|5b}}
Later, John was able to neutralize Pech by attaching a motion-sensitive mine to him, while he dealt with Actae. However, even after he came to an agreement with Actae, John knew Pech was too dangerous to be left free after his trigger had been activated. John pledged to one day return and free Pech as he and the rest of the group left to journey to the [[Golden Throne]]. However, Pech was left standing there motionless long, long after Grammaticus departed,{{Fn|5c}} as the latter was forced to spent an immeasurable time on a quest involving fate and spacetime.{{Fn|7}} Pech’s ultimate fate was unknown, although [[John Grammaticus|Grammaticus]] was certain he would be able to escape, even suggesting Pech use micro-movements to extremely slowly disarm the motion-sensitive mine.{{Fn|5c}}
