"How you holdin up bruddah. I heard the last campaign was a bit rough on ya cause ya lads couldn't use their psyker powers."
"That and there was almost nothing of value! It was the most hopeless feeling campaign I went on! Each planet was a strategic nightmare with unreal terrain in a damned near dead star light condition. The psyker powers were the cherry on the cake of hardship that was the campaign! We did learn however that it- nevermind."
"What is it?"
"I have told no-one, however since you and I have had a high amount of rapport and I know about the time travel issue, I guess it is fair- My legion has an issue. They have a condition where they slowly change due to the nature of my genetics and their psyker issues the gene seed is almost as bad as the third was when it became tainted. However- the dust from the planet actually, stifled the change. We harvested some of it for further study." And then something occurs to you
"Was it black as night?"
"Yes indeed!"
"Aye! My planet has a lot of that too. It's called noctolith or blackstone. It can be positively attuned to where does the opposite and enhances psyker power."
"Your glowing tattoos? Interesting! I may have to call up your tattooist!"
"He is still in trainin, but I wouldn't mind an utha cultural exchange like what I did with Guilliman."
"That is a splendid idea brother! I can send some psykers over to help with your training of it, while your honor guard is very good, it would also help no doubt to have some prior space marine experience." Magnus says beaming and in an excellent mood.
"We should try for it after I get done helping Lion- er El'Johnson? I don't know what to really call im"
"The Lion. You haven't gotten an honorific cognomen yet despite the fact your name is filled with them! Though knowing you it would probably be something like 'The Shark' despite you having so many different talents."
"No I like 'The Shark' that's good! Sharks are important part of the food chain in De'Lormosa. They are also helpful animal- and before we understood science better the sharks were considered ancestral spirits by my tribe. They say King Shark was the first Great Man, Old Nan was once a powerful matron who became a big man, and so on. Granted they just folk stories."
"You turn something silly into something you revel in. It's good- Mine has been 'The Crimson King'. Guess why?" He says with a little grin.
"You always blushin?" You say and he starts chuckling and you both have a belly laugh.
" But, this campaign has given hidden strengths. It has had to show me the meaning of my own strength, instead of relying on psyker abilities. I do believe ancient philosphers of old stated that it is a shame to not realize ones own strength. It's hard as a primarch though- hard to test something that will push the limits of your physical capacity. " And you smirk
