"The wage of negligence is utter destruction."
Acolytes: Meghera, Lazerus, Drake.
On their way to Mara, the Acolytes are attacked by ground-air rockets. They crash-land on Mara, their guncutter damaged beyond repair, and the pilots dead. Up above, the remains of destroyed starships tinge the sky with red.
They reach the Ice Station where they face a team of mercenaries working for the Amarantine Syndicate. As they delve deeper into the Station, they find trace of recent passage: apparently they're not the only ones hunting for Haarlock's secrets.
The Acolytes and the Jannissaries make their way through the labyrinthine compound, hoping to keep their sanity as they encounter warp manifestations, and the victims of the madness permeating the dark, icy corridors.
In one of the upper chambers, they meet a mysterious, creepy man claiming to be Haarlock's Navigator, Benhamin Nostromo. The ghostly figure offers to accompany the Acolytes in their quest, for only with his help will they be able to navigate the shifting, warp-ridden corridors of the Ice Station.
Eventually the Acolytes reach a huge generator room, where savage and crazed Pilgrims of Hayte have taken residence. The slaughter that ensues triggers wild psychic phenomena. Astropath Silinus, one of the members of the expedition, seems to be particularly affected by the weird influence of the place.
