My lord, I regret to inform you that your requested emergency tithe will prove impossible to fulfill at this time. Over two dozen planets have risen in revolt, open rioting has spread across a dozen more and there is widespread inter sect killings across the sector, more than usual even! My flagship Enduring Spite, has been destroyed via a reactor breach, and I was only not taken with it due to a fortuitous mechanical failure of my shuttle. I swear to you, that I shall crush the rebels and run down the miscreants behind this, but I need time. In the meantime, I have dispatched one of my most capable and loyal servants with what forces I can spare to your aid.

My lord, I regret to inform you that your orders to burn all crops and evacuate all assets in the face of the Tyranid Advance will be impossible to fulfill. Public order has broken down, and at least half of the PDF is in a state of active mutiny. The Storm-troopers you sent to serve as enforcers were sent out to regain control of the situation, whereupon they were engaged and destroyed by an unknown Space Marine force. General Argent has been assassinate in the aftermath, and the chain of command has snapped. I no longer have effective control of those still loyal to the Black Imperium, and I do not anticipate being able to muster an effective defense against the approaching Tyranid Fleet.

Our offensive into Quartus was a disaster. A full Wolf Legion was pre-positioned to engage our forces, and was equipped with a variety of new equipment. That was survivable, if trying. Alpha legion's treachery however, was disastrous. Sector Lord Alden was killed by his aid, and my own flag captain tried to cut me down, the cry "for the emperor" upon his lips even as my flagship's weapons fired into its escorts. Though I removed his treacherous tongue and cut him down, the damage was done. Our formation was in tatters, and moral was shot. I only managed to escape with a tenth of our forces and without reinforcement the sector shall surely fall. Alpha Legion must pay for this treachery!

A/N: So you know how Alpha Legion has a group of nuts who want to burn the entire galaxy down to kill Chaos? Here's an excellent chance for them to do some damage by sabotaging Abbadon's response to the invasion. Still, it looks like not everything is going as planned. Is Alpharious actually at Cypra Mundi, and if so, which side is he on?
