hh8节译：马卡多的黑色守望
Helik Redknife and the small company under his command were a single facet of a larger gambit. Conceived by Malcador and the Primarch of the VIth Legion, Leman Russ, after the events on Prospero, this plan sought to place a force of the Space Wolves within striking distance of each remaining Primarch, ideally in a place of trust attached to their Legion. The orders given to these strike forces were simple - IF their charge took action against the Imperium or the Great Crusade in violation of their oath of loyalty, then the watchers were to eliminate them by any and all means possible. This was an explicit order for the death of any given Primarch, as judged necessary by the VIth Legion officer in charge of the watch force, a contingency that if made common knowledge would likely lead to no small amount of dissent and as such, its full scope and detail remained secret.
海力克 红刃和他麾下的小型连队（机仆：这群人在《惧于踏足》里被红渴上头的阿密特和第五连给屠了）是某个更大的策略的一个方面。在普罗斯佩罗事件之后，马卡多和第六军团原体黎曼 鲁斯设想了一个计划：他们试图在能攻击到剩下的每位原体的范围之内部署一支太空野狼部队，最好是放置在与他们的军团相连的信任之地。下达给这些打击部队的命令很简单：倘若被监视的目标们违背忠诚誓言、采取了反对帝国和大远征的行为，监视者们就要使用一切可能的手段消灭他们。对于任何被给定这一命令的原体，这都是一个明确的死亡命令，只要掌管这些监视部队的第五军团军官们认为有必要时。这种情况可能只是一个偶然事件，但如果它成为了共识，此类问题很可能就会变多，因此，它的全部范围和细节仍然保密。（机仆：意思大概就是，在普星之焚后，帝国仍然认为原体公然反抗帝国是偶然现象，但如果“原体会反抗帝国”成为一种共识，怀有不臣之心的原体就会越来越多，所以要暗中监视他们，不能让他们有所察觉。当然，事实证明，这一计划彻底失败了）
The full and complete rosters of these so-called “watch packs” have remained sealed within the restricted archive-vaults beneath the Imperial Palace and as such any judgement on the effectiveness of this initiative is rendered moot. Some observers have noted that these forces often appeared to be little more than squad strength deployments, but this seems a futile gesture in the face of a Primarch's fury, not to mention the assembled force of his Legion. Such an understated response to the threat level presented by their targets is unlike the standard operating practices of the Space Wolves, and other sources speculate that the small watch packs were only the tip of the spear aimed at each of the Primarchs, with additional forces remaining within striking distance.
这些所谓“监视猎群”的完整花名册仍然封存在帝国宫下面那限制进入的历史档案库当中，因此，任何对这一举措有效性的判断都是没有意义的。某些观察者指出，这些部队看起来的兵力部署通常不会超过小队规模，但这似乎只是一个面对原体怒火的徒劳姿态，更不用说集结起来的军团部队。如此低调地应对其目标带来的威胁不像是太空野狼们的标准作法，其他资料则推测：这些监视猎群只是瞄准每位原体的矛尖而已，打击距离之内还有额外的部队。
However, any debate regarding Malcador's and Russ' attempts to enforce the Primarchs' loyalty is made largely inconsequential by the obvious failure of the plan. Instituted on the very threshold of the Horus Heresy, while Horus own plans were well-established, many of the watch packs failed to even reach their targets before the civil war was underway. Those who did rendezvous with the Legions they were assigned to were plainly unable to complete the missions assigned to them, for not one of the Traitor Primarchs is known to have been so much as injured by Leman Russ' hand-picked executioners. Indeed, those who arrived at the courts of the various Loyal Primarchs, such as the warriors assigned to Sanguinius, appear to have aided the Traitor cause more than their own by spreading discord and suspicion among the ranks of the Loyalist Legion .
然而，由于这个计划的明显失败，任何有关马卡多和鲁斯加强原体们忠诚度的尝试的辩论在很大程度上都是无关紧要的。这项计划构建了荷鲁斯叛乱的所有限制因素，然而荷鲁斯自己的计划还是成为了既定事实，当内战进行时，监视猎群们甚至都没能接触到他们的目标。那些与他们被指派前去的军团会合的太空野狼们显然无法完成分配给他们的任务，据我们所知，没有哪位叛徒原体被黎曼·鲁斯亲手挑选的刽子手们所伤害。事实上，那些到达了各位忠诚原体的宫廷中的太空野狼战士们——比如被指派到圣吉列斯身边的那些就在忠诚军团的部队中散布不和谐与怀疑，他们对于叛变军团的帮助似乎比叛军本身还大。（机仆：得，狼团哈士奇形象更稳固了）
