The Crown was shipped aboard the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' along with Calus's scribe [[Amsot]], numerous Psion Councilors and [[Katabasis]] in preparation for its grand experiment; which was to happen at the planet-sized Darkness anomaly in place of [[Mars]]' disappearance. Once the Glykon had crossed into the anomaly, the councilors placed their hands on the Crown and focus their cognition through it. They pry open the Scorn's collective synaptic pathways and sew them into the fabric of the anomaly's memetic sphere.

Katabasis and his Loyalist crew were left behind to fend for themselves against the rampant Scorn as the interior of the Glykon was constantly transforming within the Darkness anomaly. His Psion cohort [[Qinziq]] had formulated a plan to return the Glykon back to reality by severing the Crown's connection to the Scorn. Katabasis, along with Qinziq, [[Bahr'Toran]] and fifteen of their soldiers stormed the ship's bridge where they made their stand against waves of Scorn.
