Their next attempt was done so under Inquisitor Kalypsia's direct orders and insisted on a surgical strike of the coordinates she had initially desired. The Captain of the Deathwatch relented and made use of a [[Drop pod]] to bring his forces to bear at the location. Kalypsia later directed the team into an unknown Imperial structure which was later discovered to be a research facility and inside they discovered the body of an [[Derteg Grendal|unknown Inquisitor]]. It was then that the Mantis Warrior Shaidan revealed that he and his Chapter had originally uncovered the base and learnt that the [[Grendal-machine|machine]] to which the Inquisitor was in was a weapon. They activated it and initially it turned the Tyranid tide but the xenos eventually regrouped and overran their position. The Inquisitor sought to recover the device but Captain Octavius was more concerned with achieving his objective namely the destruction of the Hive Tyrant - though was unaware of the fact that the unknown machine was actually the real objective of Inquisitor Kalypsia. During the recovery operation of the machine, the Hive Tyrant appeared and both [[Chaplain]] [[Broec]] and Shaidan died whilst in the process of slaying the beast. In addition, the Mantis Warriors within the team such as Soron and Ruinus were also killed in the operation. Eventually, Octavius and his surviving kill-team managed to escape in a Thunderhawk but the unknown machine bonded with Kalypsia and turned her into a powerful psychic as well as possessed her to the point that she turned her powers against the Deathwatch team. She was ultimately jettisoned into space and the chair she was forcibly bonded to was remotely detonated and destroyed.{{Fn|1}}
