The Reapers intend to spread the Bloom until the entire sector is infected, and thus allowing a being known as the "Morbus" to be summoned. Vakir accompanies the squad of Grey Knight's to the Craftworld's infinity circuit chamber, and a dormant Avatar of Khaine explains to her that The Bloom is being spread by five Champions of Nurgle known as the "Reapers". Their investigations lead them to an Aeldari Craftworld that has long been lost to the corrupting influence of Nurgle, the Chaos God of Disease and Decay. Coming aboard their ship, the inquisitor requests their service to aid in her investigation of a sector-wide plague known as "The Bloom". Ectar and the Adeptus Mechanicus Dominus, Lunete, travel to their home base of Titan (one of Saturn's moons) for debriefing and repairs when they are intercepted by Inquisitor Vakir of the Ordo Malleus. Ectar, a Grey Knight Purifier aboard the strike cruiser, the Baleful Edict as part of punishment detail for reckless actions in a previous mission appoints one of the survivors of the campaign as the strike force's new commander.
