The two of them stood between one another as they took in the other’s presence. It was the only thing they could do as Matthias weighed out what exactly he wanted to say, for there was obviously something to say. Such speechlessness only occured to Astartes who had received news from a specific source.
“What does the Emperor desire of -” For a moment Vadar was about to make a damning mistake, “you, the Imperial Fists for?”
“The Emperor wishes for us to prepare a series of defenses across Segmentum Pacificus to assist in the scouting of interior worlds. We will be securing regions to permit Imperial Expansion by minor exploratory forces.”
“Will there be hostiles in the area or not?”
“There will be. A majority of sectors I plan to reinforce are currently under control by both Xenos and Divergent Human elements.” The Imperial Fist answered straightly.
“Reasonable.” Vadar answered as he could only agree with the Master of Mankind’s objective.
“It is, as expected from the Emperor.” Matthias said as he looked upon his brother, “I will be seeing the expansion happen myself.”
“Then you will be leaving this Reconquista.” Declared Vadar as he realized the exact reason his fellow was here.
“That is correct.”
Vadar took in a breath as he looked back up towards the great Titan before them, “I thank you for alerting me of this fact. I am sure my Father is already aware of the fact even as you’ve not alerted him to it.”
“As is expected of a master like him.” And there for a moment Vadar noticed something there within his cousin. Matthias soon gave the words that Vadar knew he came to speak, “As the Orks have been wiped out I understand that the Reconquest turns towards the Mitu Collective. Will you require the services of the Imperial Fists, even if they are lesser than before?”
>No, Matthias, it was an honor serving with you for all these years.
>A small contingent is fine. We can always use your expertise.
>While you’ve awarded us, my Father will think otherwise. You will leave with an Auxilia.
