TalOS only noticed it when he started to fight the Warp. An battle of logic against the malous reality caused the constant background radiation of <span class="mu-i">something</span> poke out.
It did not flicker and it did not shutter. It waned like the rest of the warp but instead of collapsing back onto the ship it always grew back at a consistent rate.
That did not make sense.
TalOS was in the Warp, a realm where nonsense and irregularity was commonplace. It should be obvious that the mysterious constant radiation that could be recognized as a source of order demonstrated that in the realm of insanity, it was logic that became the outlier.
What exactly was it? Many of TalOS’s order would have claimed it to be the purview of the Machine God but TalOS would deny it. After all the Machine God was a material being not one that dabbled in the realm of the mystical. It was someone or something else.
As TalOS wondered this his systems gave him an alert and the Primarch left the purview of the Scanner Systems to his bridge. Everyone continued their work to make sure the ship did not suffer any problems in transit and for that TalOS was thankful for.
The rituals began and ended a few minutes after that. They breached into reality with a brutality that caused the entirety of existence to hurt. They were there though, and that mean they have survived the first transit.
+Status.+ TalOS declared as he looked over the region himself.
+There is nothing but void here.+ Answered a Magos, +Friendly ships arriving.+
One after another the ships of the Mechanicum arrived in system. TalOS gazed upon the ships that arrived into the system and did not like what he saw. Yes indeed there were a variety of ships that arrived into the system a vast majority of them seemed to be damaged in some way.
The bridge was silent for a few moments until the logistics Magos spoke, +Arch Dominus, we have lost two of our ships in transit due to emergency tranmission.+
TalOS shook his head at those words but he accepted it. After all, if they did not fleet when they did it would have been far more than if they challenged the enemy.
+Move us to the nearest jump point. Hopefully we have forced the enemy to take caution and are thus slower in transition.+
Upon that command the ships began to move.
