TalOS felt out the universe around him. His hands seek some form of flow. That flow he looked for was like a vise grip, a holding upon the material and ethereal reality that all Blackstone had. Such strands were rare and hard to come by within the galaxy at large. It is nearly as rare as the hardened metal that is used by the Custodian Guard and the Emperor of Mankind.
But as they hovered above the blasted landscape of the planet TalOS simply had to point his finger in a single direction, +Take us to 253’ 486’.+
Without a word the Servitor who was operating their aircraft obeyed the commands of TalOS.
+What are we looking for?+ Perturabo asked as he looked at his brother with a hint of vain annoyance.
+There is a structure that is hidden among the rocks of this place. I can feel its existence is out of place within this world as this is what grabbed my attention.+ TalOS said as he flicked a hand, +As it is a large source of Blackstone its value far outstrips most planets under the care of the Imperium. It is likely the existence of this massive deposit that the location has been obscured from our scanning arrays until I felt it.+
+And it can also have these… Necrons.+ Perturabo said as if the word was poison within his mouth.
+Necrons were not the only ones to employ Blackstone but they were the most proficient. I am operating under the assumption that it can be any force that we contact, and that they will be hostile.+
+We don’t have enough men.+ Perturabo said simply.
+We might not, but that is also not known. If we do not take this opportunity to find what is hidden amongst the stones we will never have the chance to do so again.+ TalOS claimed with a sense of understand that his brother might never fully understand, +In addition to what I said, if it is Necrons then resistance will be minimal. They are all still asleep and only a few guardians will be awake in time for the defense of their home.+
His brother gave a small cough as he heard such words, +We will see. The moment there is a greater threat we evacuate.+
+If we are able.+ TalOS said as they arrived at the location.
