Pariah Nexus recap
In the Pariah Nexus, a region where the Necrons have woken and are draining the warp, the shrine world Paradyce falls to their attack. In episode 1, a lone Sister of Battle, Danica, moves through a ruined city seeking vengeance, travelling with an Imperial Guardswoman. In episode 2, a Salamanders Space Marine, Brother Sa'kan, the last of his squad, stalks the battlefield while trying to protect a group of civilian survivors. In episode 3, Danica and Sa'kan must put aside their differences to lead the survivors out before a Necron Deathmark, a sniper, hunts them down. The Guardswoman turns out to be a hallucination: she died in an earlier battle, when Danica was shell-shocked. Danica and Sa'kan together crush a Skorpekh Destroyer, but Sa'kan falls and is believed dead.
Pariah Nexus ending explained
Danica turns to lead the priest and civilians west and is shot in the back by the Deathmark, and the survivors are killed. As the Deathmark examines the bodies, a wounded, one-handed Sa'kan appears and kills it. He is left alone on Paradyce, set on revenge against the Necrons who destroyed it. The series ended after three episodes.
