hh8节译:极限特遣队

In distant Ultramar, Roboute Guilliman first looked to his own borders, blinded as he was behind the veil of the Ruinstorm. He was shocked by the rapidity with which Calth was lost, a phenomenal achievement for the Word Bearers in military terms. Had it purely been a war of Legion against Legion, the battle could have dragged on for many more months, even given the total surprise with which Lorgar's forces had struck. The factor which tipped the scales in the battle was not of the Principia Bellicosa, whose strategies Guilliman was privately adapting and refining with his Legion, but of a nature previously unknown to him.

在遥远的奥特拉玛，罗伯特 基里曼第一次看向了自己的边境，但毁灭风暴的帷幕阻碍了他的视线。考斯沦陷的速度之快令他震惊，从军事角度来说，怀言者们取得了非凡的成就。如果纯粹让两个军团进行对抗的话，即使考虑到珞珈的军队发动了突袭，这场战斗也可能会持续几个月。在战斗中使天平倾斜的因素并非来源于《基础军典》——吉利曼正在私下根据该著作的战术规定调整和完善自己的军团，而是某种他以前不知道的实质。

With Calth lost for all time, and the threat of ruin hanging over his legacy in Ultramar thanks to the ravages of the Shadow Crusade, the master of Macragge long dwelt upon the theoretical merits of the methods used by the XVIIth Legion. The weaponised use of Warpbased entities became of particular interest to Guilliman who, having overturned the Edict of Nikaea perforce on Calth, was coldly ready to adapt any practical method of defence against the esoteric threats he faced.

基里曼已经永远失去了考斯，而且由于暗影远征的破坏，毁灭的威胁笼罩着奥特拉玛，马库拉格之主对于第十七军团使用的战争手段的理论优点进行了长时间的阐述。基里曼尤其感兴趣的是对于亚空间实体的武器化利用，他在考斯上就已经违背过了尼凯亚禁令，他现在准备冷漠地采取任何实用的防御方法以应对他所面临的神秘威胁。

In secret, Guilliman gathered thirteen senior Librarians of his Legion to his side in the secure Asteria Wing of the Fortress of Macragge and with them formed the Ultima Taskforce, a group of warriors capable of going to war with weapons of an arcane nature to counter the potential use of the same by the enemy. There he set them to researching the creatures unleashed by the Word Bearers on Calth. With their combined understanding of the Warp and arcana derived from the forced confessions of XVIIth Legion prisoners, this new taskforce set about their task with determination, developing a methodology of empyrical experimentation.

在马库拉格要塞安全的星彩宝石翼厅中，基里曼秘密地将军团中的十三名高级智库召集到了自己身边，并和他们一起组建了极限特遣队，这群战士能够使用奥术性质的武器进行战争，这是为了抵抗敌人对于相同武器的潜在使用。基里曼派遣他们去调查研究怀言者们在考斯战役中放出的那些生物。他们对亚空间和奥术的综合理解源于拷问被俘的怀言者军团战士而得到的供状，通过这种方式，这支新的特遣队下定决心开始他们的任务，发展出了一套经验实验的系统方法。

After a spate of esoteric phenomenon caused widespread disorder within the Magna Macragge Civitas, the Ultima Taskforce was moved to a hidden laboratory on the world of Prandium and given greater resources to pursue their logical goal of weaponising summoned warp entities. The ultimate fate of  the taskforce would later be suppressed, and is held in another account.

在一连串玄奥现象引发了大马库拉格城（机仆：好像就是马库拉格的首府）的广泛混乱之后，极限特遣队被转移到了Prandium 世界上的隐秘实验室，而且他们被给予了更多资源去追求他们将召唤到的亚空间实体进行武器化的逻辑目标。关于特遣队最终命运的信息后来遭到了封禁，内容被保存在了另一份记述中。
