About a week before deployment, each squad member is greeted by a servo-skull which delivers orders regarding the mission. In the depths of the compound, Khavados feels himself awaken from the Dreadnaught coma, his first long sleep since he was interred in his chassis, which the Tech-Adepts have christened the Wulfen-Pattern Contemptor. Damien sends the skull back with his request for additional clarification and recieves the following one full cycle before deploymen.

Brother Damien,
Your request for clearance must be denied. Watch Fortress Orpheus is one of our most secure holdings , however I understand your need to keep your squad as well informed as possible. I have enclosed with this message a dataslate containing all relevant tactical data applying to your mission. This dataslate will allow for a single instance of access before it burns out its own circuits.
In His Name Brother.
Watch Commander Xanthus
The data slate gives Damien the basic floorplan of the first level of the Fortress, as well as last known atmospheric readings from the planetary sensorum. The sensorum readings show weather predictions (out of date) and energy readings. Just before the Fortress went dark there is a massive spike in energy readings, then nothing.
