	The Ponigeddon arrived at Dolmaska, and the Strike Cruiser received an Equestrial message.

"A message is coming from Chapter Command." said Spike. He tuned in to the vox frequencies and a voice of great fame came through, followed by his face on screen.

"Commander Hammerheart, this is Michael Pegalos aboard the Battle Barge Stampede of Fury." said Pegalos. "I have received word of the Paranid threat facing sub-sector Arctika, and of Captain Nule's grave condition. The Paranids are a threat of unimaginable proportions, Commander. They are endless in number and intent on consuming whole worlds. The Stampede of Fury is now making for Arctika at all speed, but we are weeks away. I will relay all distress signals to you while we devise a plan of attack."

Hammerheart brought up the Swalak Ruins on screen, and discovered information of much desired value.

"Commander Hammerheart," said Pegalos, "we have located Captain Nule's attacker. The warrior beast that you drove into the Badlands has resurfaced, leading a swarm of lesser Paranids. This is our first chance to strike back at the Paranid enemy, and we cannot pass it up. Collecting samples from this creature's corpse may also lead to a cure for Captain Nule, and could give us valuable information on how to defeat the Hive Fleet. This area is heavily infested, Commander, so be prepared for heavy resistance."
