The ship was brought to the the [[Reef]], where The Guardian and Loyalists spent six weeks capturing [[Scorn]] for experiments, in hopes that Calus would be able to understand more about the [[Darkness]]. Then, Katabasis piloted the ship to [[Phobos]], on the edge of the Anomaly left behind by [[Mars]]. It is here where Calus came on board, alongside the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. The experimenting with the Scorn continued, now with the Emperor utilizing the Crown as a means of observing how the Darkness interfered with the Scorn's corrupted consciousness. Many test subjects perished from "continuous neuron death" except for one who "spoke with many dead voices". This Scorn would become the [[Locus of Communion]]. | ||
After many failed attempts at communion, the ritual eventually succeeded. The Glykon Volatus plunged into the Anomaly and became lost. Katabasis and his Ghost, still trapped aboard the vessel, began to feel the effects of pure Darkness corruption. While finding a way to escape the locked ship, Katabasis and Gilgamesh began to talk less and less to each other, growing distant, their personal connection from the light slowly fading. Strange [[Egregore|fauna/flora]] began to grow and develop aboard the ship and the corruption strengthened, Gilgamesh eventually craving suicide, or as he called it, "salvation". Katabasis was firm minded, and refused to let his Ghost kill himself. Eventually, Katabasis gave in, and destroyed his Ghost with a shot from the [[Dead Man's Tale]].<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/book-captains-log</ref> | After many failed attempts at communion, the ritual eventually succeeded.
