To think that such a defeatist thought came into the mind of Perturabo. He was <span class="mu-i">The</span> Iron Warrior. He was the one who claimed Olympia, the Victor of a thousand wars thought impossible, and the one who single handedly defended the East from the Rangdan! So many of these accomplishments he had done which were thought impossible by many within the Imperium.
As he looked upon the planet which was once taken from the Hurud, Perturabo was soon witness to the sudden reality flux. It was a wave of reality tearing proportions which was identified by the sudden shifting of the local cosmology. The light from stars would shift and change, revealing where they shall be in the future.
How could he defeat this? This reality tearing event which seemed to defeat all concepts of his perspective? Quickly he began augmenting his perspective with readings from numerous ships and vessels that were within the system. He was getting mixed astronomical readings and other jumbled messes of information that were present. It should all be nonsense but Perturabo began to reference materials that he previously was denied.
The Adeptus Mechanicus was secretive, in such a way that it bothered Perturabo. Those that were within his fleet kept their allegiance to TalOS with iron clad density which had denied the Iron Warriors much needed knowledge. The only time he had access to the knowledge was when the newest decrees from Terra and Mars were announced. Many of them starting to seek some form of technological innovation.
But what they held closest was their psychic sensory systems and arrays. Only in recent days, when they had confirmed that the Hurud were indeed a psychic race, did Perturabo get a glimpse as the knowledge many of them were holding back.
Nullifcation and Psychic Amplification. Perturabo had caught it spoken in one of the public channels and challenged the Priesthood. Caught red handed, they had given him an ounce of that knowledge which only they knew. It was obvious the reason for this case, for the last group to release knowledge related to Psychic machines had all been executed by the Fabricator Generals of both Lucius and Mars.
But in a war like this where they realized that their execution date was likely not going to arrive, did they allow Perturabo a key to winning this damned war. By modifying a Gellar Field Array they were able to shut down the time warping effects of the Hurud and even some of their weapons, causing the devastation that they wrecked.
