Broken, The - Endgame: The sudden death of their leader marked the end of the Broken's cohesion as a military force. Those warriors furthest along the Path of Blood launched themselves at the Ultramarines Terminators in a reckless fury, but were promptly gunned down. The merely Human Renegades began to flee the throne room, rushing down the stairs in a desperate attempt to save their lives.Blocked by their traitorous comrades who had been battling Sergeant Starn's Terminators, none of them made it out of the tower before Captain Galenus' group of 5th Company survivors killed them all on their way to the Chapter Master.Still outside the central tower, Brother Ulfius was contacted by Inquisitor Drake, who told him of the outcome of the duel and the activation of the self-destruct sequence that would soon see them all die. He bade the Ultramarines to make haste for he feared that Calgar might still die from his wounds before the Fury's reactor consigned them all to a fiery grave.As they approached the first steps of the titanic staircase, the leader of 5th Company could see the foremost elements of the Renegade Mechanicus entering the Blood Keep, obviously seeking the same destination. With their common enemy vanquished, the truce between the Ultramarines and the Renegade faction of the Mechanicus had come to an end. Magos Dominus Hagnon-Cro now sought his prize.In the throne room, every survivor was gathered around the bleeding Chapter Master. Brother Othar, his armour similarly scorched as that of his master was begging Calgar to dun a reclaimed helmet so that he might be protected from the baleful radiation, but the Chapter Master refused.Either way, he would die long before radiation-poisoning became an issue. Calgar could feel his body trying to undo the damage done to it, but hindered by the radiation and unsupported by his Artificer Armour's reserves of stimulants the process was taking longer than he was used to.The sombre mood was lifted when Captain Galenus voxed ahead that the Mechanicus' forces were starting to enter the Blood Keep as well. Faced with a purely military problem, Calgar's mind immediately began to reflect on their situation.Calgar asked Galenus how many Ultramarines were accompanying him. When the captain responded that only nine Space Marines were still alive in his group alongside Librarian Ulfius and Techmarine Salvator, the news shook Calgar to his core, though he remained outwardly impassive.When Captain Galenus' small group reached the top of the tower, Brother Salvator immediately began work on Calgar's suit of battle-plate, nursing a flicker of life back into the battered suit of armour. Calgar was adamant on standing -- and dying -- alongside his brothers, a glorious last stand against the Mechanicus forces.Several levels below where the remaining Ultramarines mustered for their defiant last stand, Magos Explorator Fane was fulfilling the will of his new master: rerouting the Plasma Reactor's controls to the secondary chamber he and his Adepts had infiltrated in Calgar's wake. They had fought against their fair share of Chaos worshipers, but ultimately the Adeptus Mechanicus would reclaim the Fury for their own purposes.With his role in this grand game of duplicity fulfilled, Magos Fane communed with Hagnon-Cro, calling upon him to honour the bargain they had struck -- the continued survival and well-being of the Ultramarines.Far above, Inquisitor Lazarus Drake raged at losing control over the Fury’s most important systems. With sudden clarity, Marneus Calgar realised that he had been tricked into doing the Mechanicus' dirty work. From the very moment the Ultramarines had landed on the space hulk they had been played by Hagnon-Cro -- even the attack on 7th Company had been no misunderstanding but a ploy to keep their forces small enough to still fulfill their allotted task without threatening the Renegade Mechanicus' strength.Knowing that he had been beaten, Calgar ordered his men to stand down as the Mechanicus forces advanced. For the second time, Marneus Calgar would parley with the Magos Dominus and confront him with his revelations. In order to save his brothers' lives, and thanks to the intercession of Magos Explorator Fane, a deal was soon struck between them.The Magos Dominus would take control of the Fury whilst the Ultramarines would be given a life-sustaining wreck and marooned in a star system in close proximity to the Cadian Gate, a system well-patrolled by the ships of the Imperial Navy which would eventually locate them and initiate a rescue.Marneus Calgar agreed to the deal, but he added one condition: that the crucified Viridian Consuls, those loyal Space Marines who had stayed true to the vocation of the Adeptus Astartes, would be granted the Emperor's Peace and a decent funeral.Having retrieved their fallen brothers' precious gene-seed, the surviving Space Marines erected two great pyres, one for the fallen Ultramarines and one for their long-lost Successor Chapter before being led to the surface and turning their back on the Fury and its occupants forever.
