Inquisitor Kalypsia was in charge of the deathwatch kill-team during the Herodian IV Tyranid incident to eliminate the hive tyrant: during the first drop 2 members of her team were killed in a lictor ambush and a third was killed by Zoanthropes. Having escaped that fate she interviewed an Adeptus Mechanius survivor from the planet and supposedly killed him after discovering the existence of a secret weapon.
Her team discovered and retrieved the weapon which turned out to be a mix of Imperial, Eldar and Tyranid tech with Inquisitor Grendal fused to it. On the way to extraction Librarian Shaiden and Chaplain Broec stayed behind to kill the hive tyrant, supposedly dying in the process. They succeeded and the swarm was confused long enough for rest to be extracted from the surface. Kalypsia was knocked out when she examined the machine back in the thunderhawk: it turned out Grendal was possessed by machine and try to kill her but died instantly when he left the chair since it was the only thing keeping him alive. When no one was around she attached herself to the machine which had the same effect on her. The captain of the team, Octavius, opened the bay airlock and threw a plasma grenade onto the possessed Kalypsia's lap before she got sucked out; she and the machine were destroyed in the plasma blast.
