The Trip back to Lucius was a short affair when compared to the rest of the galaxy. As TalOS learned from both the Navigators tellings and his own knowledge of the Warp there were immense tides that were even bigger than those meager currents that ran through the Federation.
This was the main reason that the Crusade was able to cross from one side of the Galaxy to the other without much issue. One would call it odd to do this, but it is similar to explorers creating a port city on the other side of the ocean and circumnavigating the globe. Those port cities that were placed around will quickly become outposts for further expeditions to be made, while the Circumnavigation proved both as a marker of achievement and proof of concept.
That there can be an Empire that spans an entire Galaxy and ships could safely travel from one end of the realm to the other.
Thus it is known that somewhere within the large swath of the galaxy did the brothers of TalOS stay, but these tides simply caused the expedition to go right passed them. TalOS was luckier than them though, as the major current that carried ships to the North led right into the Sector of the Federation.
During this time TalOS studied up and made preparations. His plans to unbind his Astartes from the death grip of his psyche and thus free of a God Machine’s influence. Only a Princep after all should feel the full brunt of a God Machine upon their soul.
It was to the luck of the Primarch that this was going to be a more calm affair. The removal of such a psychic connection actually might have more issues in the psyche than the body. As for what code was it he searched for, the Primarch noted a series of codes that he and the Acillians did not share with the Astartes. That was likely it.
Though as he searched TalOS noted that some parts of the genome were unbalanced in accordance to Genetor rules. A great many pieces of genetic material that he was quickly realizing were intentionally meant to mutate. An attempt to stabilize what was already a momentous track of genetic material.
TalOS was no fool with the warp. This was built so that Psychic forces could mutate the genome to completion. A measure to perfect the genes of Astartes to when the link was established. A genius method and mixing of genealogy and warcraft that was the hallmark of the Emperor.
Luckily for TalOS though this was no longer necessary for these mutations had already taken place among the Astartes of the 2nd. It will likely permeate some conditions of the Astartes, but there was nothing the Primarch could do about it. It was better than keeping them tied to him.
With that finished TalOS wrote up an assessment and organized his exhibits. These documents will be delivered to Arch Magos R3KT the moment he arrives upon Lucius.
