"Some say something altered fate itself to bring Magnus to that horrible rock.

"A WHOLE WEEK AND NOTHING. NOT A THING! WE HAVE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW! THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE PSYKER POWERS ON PLANET, AND FOR WHAT?! WHAT KNOWLEDGE HAVE WE LEARNED? WHAT LESSON GAINED!" You scream out in anguish partially from the headaches that you may have to talk to Kolinaisi about diagnosing if they are permanent due to you staying here for too long, and partially from the pain of JUST BEING ON THIS FORESAKEN WORLD.
This campaign- has been a slog.
The only lesson here has been that your sons are actually quite capable without powers. You have learned their mettle. You have learned their strengths. Their weaknesses. Their limits.
The Xenos- the unspeakable xenos also had Rangda enclaves. ENCLAVES OF RANGDA!
The Emperor chose you for this, but why? Was yours the only legion capable of this?
Surely this was a job for the fourth legion.
Just sitting on the furniture on this world was taxing due the material.
The inhabitants! The cultures almost always fell into three categories, Primative, semi advanced but culturally stuck, and backwards. There was almost nothing to these worlds. The humans here were almost always beyond saving. Those that were saved, were - noteworthy? They were hardy and tenacious. But their attitudes were so grim they would be more suited for the dusk raiders. You look to the door as you can sense one of your sons as they approach.
"Anything?" You let out in almost whine
"One. Thing." Hathor Maat says walking in. It isn't a look of triumph. It's a look of concern and seriousness.
"What? What could it possibly be?" Is there anything that was worth this? Will father even forgive the amount of delay? Iskander looks at you with healthy concern, as does Azhek Arihman.
"An artifact of such incredible power that it is beyond anything we have seen before." Hathor says.
"What?" You say.
"If I understand the machine, correctly, and this will need some research- there may be more after talking to the locals- it is a device that would allow for faster than light transportation and communication. It utilizes psychic power of a type, empathy. It would be a Quantum Empathic Resonance Device. A Beacon of sorts." Hathor says. You laugh a little and almost cry.
"Truly?"
"Yes."
"A psychic device, on a world where no such power works. Can we at least move it?"
"Probably. It is an incredibly complex device I imagine it would be safer to have the Martians transport it." Hathor says.
"Then, all this may have been worth it."
>> Ask to see the device. There may be more to this world, and it's important to find out what created this.>> Contact the Martians, prepare to leave. No need to spend more time here than absolutely necessary. >> Leave. Have a contingent stay behind until the Martians arrive and have them catch up. >> Write in
