If you didn't want to cut the posse a break (which I don't think you
should, 'cos the engine encounter is possibly the coolest thing I've seen
in an RPG so far), have Hellstromme working with the ghost of the
Unforgotten Fifteen syker.  But don't tell the characters that just yet. 
Let them think she's normal (or Harrowed) until they get to the engine
room.  Of course, all eyes turn to the NPC when they're confronted with
the nasty solution to their problems.  Only THEN does she explain that
she can't be killed, and vanishes.  Her work here is done.
