>>5699242"I got a lot to live up to." You confide to him as it seems like everyone is just fine with ignoring the two of you to your talk.
"So do you have a legion?"
"It's a secret. And honestly Malcador is going to be a bit upset with me, two of my brothers know of me. Though- I was sent here mostly to observe what progress you already made- and I am quite impressed. The technology you have will make the Mechanicum eager to talk to you."
"Aya. It's gonna be a troubled discussion." You say still not knowing what to make then you smirk
"Wanna surf?"
"What?"
"I am gonna teach my sons how to surf. You are pretending to be one of my sons, so would you like to learn how to surf?" Ya ask.
"Actually- I think I wouldn't mind that."
So you teach Alpha how to surf. Which is actually fairly quick, he's a quick study. But not as fast as De'Saan.
He surfs like you, as if he already knew how. And most of your sons seem more bent to that way, with how they seem to be talented in the water even in armor. You surf till sunset- then have bonfires as you talk and walk among ya sons, as you introduce them to ya chain breakers. Many of whom are wanted as recruits. It isn't so much a party, but more of a family reunion party, like the clan does during a big mokka. You take them throughout the planet, show them the knigts, the witches, the various people and even the poles.
"Arnoul, mate- when we met, ya were pleased as punch with what we had goin on De'lormosa. I aint gonna take anything from ya. I want ya to participate in codifying this, with me- this maybe my legion, but it's still one crew- and everyone has a voice." You say and Arnoul nods.
On the issue of knights
>> Form a new knight household, that way the current knights still maintain their honor and duty- one attached to you. Have your cousin head it up and pick new members. Also create new knights to go with it- though- you may want to do some cross training. You may also test and see if ya able to pilot that big knight...OR
>> Sanction the current knight house to assist you during the crusade, then outside of war they can return to their current duty of guarding the system. OR
>> Only make and take a few knights, no need to get really elaborate with this. OR
>> Write inOne the issue of the Witches
>> Keep a contingent of witches/psykers as honor guard till your companions are not up for it- then have them pick the replacementsOR
>> Have in perpetuity, if they are willing, the Island provide your honor guard, but doing it on a rotational basis, having an age limit and a term limit for the honor guard. OR
>> Try maybe to find some psykers in ya ranks, have the witches try to train em up, and see what works, then go from there, the ladies will always be ya companions, but the legion may want to have a say in your honor guardOR
Write in
Then
>> Start on the recruitment process- the legion is a bit smallOR
>> Discuss the status of De'lormosa and the legion
