>>5291582This is a golden opportunity I hope we capitalize on.
Anyone of our brothers could simply go to kill Korn and his followers. But only Talos could engage in a hack war not only against Korn but against his AI.
This is the opportunity I have been looking for were we can train and practice not only Talos skill in the cyberealm, but those of his sons. Exactly like if Magnus were to fight a wizard, he wouldn't kill him with bolter and blade he'd beat him in the warp realm.
We can establish our own elect team of expert acillians and techpriests we can personally trust and vouch for, aided and in coordinate with Malcadors agents if he accepts too. We will give them codes and verification spirits directly from our own creation, we as the source, so that ultimately no one can simply kidnap any one of them and extract the means to defeat the system (take that Alpharius! This is how I can see us developing resistance to his infiltrators and sleeper agents. Through constant, ceaseless verification of agents by each other to ensure they are the real person and also that they havent been mysterious absent or cybernetic mind tampered. You can change faces, you can clone bodies and deceive men, but you cannot fool the eyes of the Machine God and his spirits).
This is also a good start for the Vanus Temple. Their ability to accurately calculate the success rate of operations and conduct them in such a way that no one even knows their presence is ideal and that's something we want here. Officially we didn't kill Korn. His own AI turned against him, proof of his recklessness. Our invisible hand unseen. Plus by having a second secret organization in coordinate with our acillians it makes them both stronger and more difficult to infiltrate, especially if we combine Malcadors expertise in secrecy with ours.
Above all, ask our Lord for his blessing. He is here! We can feel him stronger than anywhere else nearby. Pray in the direction of the Noctis Vault, and ask him to guide us and our efforts. When all our best traps and tricks fail, maybe not today, maybe against Alpharius or other vile Daemons and Madmen like Draykavac, he overcomes all. No dark wizard, no rogue spirit, no demon can stand against the Dragon.
It will bring honor to our God to penetrate Korn's defenses with agents dedicated in his name, and then we ourselves challenge the AI with our mind and turn it against Korn, and none but our own will ever know.
