The human officer dives away as the grenade goes off, blowing apart one of the large vats of acidic material which quickly begins to pool and bubble, destroying a large section of the floor. The second grenade showers the xenos in shrapnel, though their armour allows them to sustain the blast and continue moving - blasting away at him and the other Space Marines. The next grenade blast manages to cut a pair of them down, though their armour proves strong. The officers have already begun to move into cover, sending bolts of searing white lightning towards the Astartes. Their HUDs flicker and fade and equipment begins to spark or stammer.

Xylius grenade blast falls short - though it does manage to cause even further damage to the lab, allowing half melted Astartes cadavers to pour out of shattered storage chambers - while his charge is interrupted by the sudden surge of psychic energy.
