Under the leadership of a new Archon, [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]], the Devils attempts to find Golden Age technology bore fruit in the form of [[SIVA]] deep in a quarantined area of the Cosmodrome called [[The Plaguelands]].

With the Splicers backed into a corner, a [[Raid|larger fireteam]] attacked the Splicers lair directly. There they encountered [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], second in command of the Splicer sect. They hunted him deep into the wall the Splicers had dug into and destroyed him.
