Awaken. Awaken.
That was the signal, the subliminal command that drove
Demekor to this world. A Nemesor in his own right, Demekor felt the indignity
of have to follow the demands of this Tomb World. A leader like himself should not feel so…
compelled… to listen, but his forces were in dire straits. This world was his last hope to replenish is
depleted forces.
Chased by the accursed Eldar clowns, or Harlequins in their
common tongue, his ship was damaged in a battle between him and an imperial
cruiser in a surprise attack. No doubt
did the Harlequins have the humans in their machinations, leading them around
like puppets in their war against the Necrons.
Still, the black imperial ship did possess technologies that he, in his
past experiences with the fledgling races, didn’t think they possessed. Their cloaking fields were rudimentary, but
effective nonetheless, and he could not avoid the broadside that burn through
his ship.
Limping to this planet, he witnessed a larger ship crashing
due a space battle between 2 imperial forces… or perhaps not. The ship was breaking apart in re-entry into
the planet’s atmosphere, with parts scattering all over. Nemesor Demekor saw the opportunity to hide
his crippled ship in the confusion and made his own entry into this tomb world.
Upon landing, the compelling signal grew ever stronger. Any lesser Necron lord would sure succumb,
but Nemesor Demekor was the Insufferable.
Exiled from his own clan millennia ago, he has carved his own name into
the universe, building his strength to wipe the new-born races in a galaxy that
belonged to him. Putting the nagging
aside, he surveyed the world and found it populated by humans, and odd factions
of half metal humans and even large biped machines. He would have to thread carefully.
Out here in the wastes, patrols were frequent, so being
detected was not unheard of. Nemesor
Demekor knew he couldn’t risk facing the humans, not when his own forces were a
fraction of its previous strength. He
would regroup. He would convert the
Necrons on this world to his own causes.
But for now, he needed information.
And where better than to interrogate the human patrol that was appearing
over the plains….
