The Harvester came closer to the Vita Extinctor, and Ma'carn remembered the little "incident", that had happened onboard the bridge of the ship when they had first entered orbit around Europa.

(The following part is a flashback and took place just before the battle at the relay station.)

As Vita Extinctor IX broke into orbit around the moon Europa, Primus Ma'carn where stunned by the view. He had known that the Psion Flayers had frozen down the moon, but he hadn't realized how well they had done their job. Giving a quick thought to how great the Flayers power must have been, he then returned to the present. "Start scanning this place. Look for enemy forces, ideal places to build a firebase at and buildings that could be of interest." "As you command, honored Primus", replied the Psion operating the scanners. Not much time had gone when the scanners picked up something. "We have found a large Fallen force, making it's way towards an abandoned relay station. Wait, the station are not abandoned, five Guardians are holed up in it." The Psion quickly asked, "Should we send a force down there?" "No", Ma'carn said. "Let them fight each other, and once they have depleted themselves, we strike." " Of course honored Primus." Another Psion shouted. " Incoming transmission from the guardians." "Let's hear it then." "Yes honored Primus." As the speakers were turned on, a loud noise of static were heard, and then an even louder voice was heard, shouting into whatever it was he was transmitting with. "GOOD MORNING EUROPA!. IT'S A BEEEEE-AUTIFUL DAY HERE." Most Psions on the bridge were now either laying down or kneeling, trying to cover their ears from the barrage of noise. "T-turn it off!" shouted a Psion. "Aaagh" replied another one. Ma'carn realised he needed to do something, and while trying to cover his ears, he grabbed a Projection rifle from his bodyguard who had passed out, and quickly put a few rounds in the speaker, just as someone started to play bagpipes. When the speaker exploded, and the noise were shut up, everyone on the bridge let out a sigh of relief. "From now on," Ma'carn said, "all incoming transmissions will be analysed first."

(the following part takes place in the present)

"Honored Primus, the construction of Firebase Omegus is going well, and the base buildings will be done before deadline." "Well done," Ma'carn said, "and has Tha'larc returned yet?" "Yes honored Primus. Infact, he's on his way back to Vita Extinctor to debrief." With those words, the Psion cut the link. Ma'carn then rose up from his chair on the bridge and walked down to the hangar to greet Tha'larc.

Down in the hangar, Bracus Tha'larc gave his report to the Primus. "We found a Minotaur and some Hobgoblins hiding in a small cavesystem. They were quickly dispatched. There were also an Axis Hydra trying to make its way to the construction site. It was dispatched too. Other than that no hostiles were found." "And how many Interceptors were lost?" "None, Primus." "Excellent work Tha'larc. Now, return to the Firebase and make sure no one interrupts the construction." "Yes Primus." As Tha'larcs Harvester set off, Ma'carn returned to the bridge.
