>Direct them to flank the Mitu and eradicate their fleet>But still do a friendly greeting.Actually, desu, I believed we should do this instead.
Horus said "tell me where I shall send the Luna Wolves". He didn't say "give me all the information so I can process it". He very much says "You are short on time, where should I go." Just sending him a data package is the opposite of that.
Even if he doesn't know we're here, it will reflect on our abilities as a Primarch in his eyes, and he will gauge us. Let us show ourselves capable, rather than simply deferring and saying "how about you pick instead?". We certainly wouldn't want to refuse his simple request either.
Surely Talos with his calculative mind would at least be able to give some answer, if not the most logical and efficient answer based on available data.
As I have confidence we can trap and smash the Orks with our Fortress, the Mitu are the bigger immediate threat to Lucius especially if they escape. Horus brings a fresh war fleet with him, and it will also be good to gauge how our own brother fights off these psychic monsters. Perhaps we can even learn from him on new ways to combat them! And knowledge and learning is holy in the eyes of the Machine God.
