It was after these two, whose calls carried some high priority code, did another message make it to TalOS. The one thing that made TalOS double take the message was that it should not have made it to TalOS so easily. The Chaos Gods laughed as they crushed reality within their hands, and for that the laws of reality were not acting as they should.
That was the reason TalOS received a message from none other than the 523rd Expeditionary Fleet. Said fleet was the primary fleet of Perturabo and his Iron Warriors. The communication seemed to be a simple signal that should have been received by the fleet’s astropaths but had instead crossed the universe to TalOS.
The identification was a Tech Priest known as Magos L8. An ambitious man who seeked the Iron Warriors because he found their way of war admirable due to the sheer calculations they placed into it. The message did not sound like a Priest who was living the high life. The codes contained pain and misery that ached with blood at every drop. TalOS could see it, the terror the Priest was feeling as he looked upon the universe whose rules had been subverted before his very eyes.
+Fabricator General TalOS. I am hereby breaking command to send a communication directly to you. The Hurud, the race the 523rd was tasked with eradicating, has crippled the fleet. Perturabo is trying to fight on but I know that we cannot succeed. The Universe, these Hurud, they make a mockery of the Motive Force and bend time to their very will!+
There was a long pause there. The emotional vaults which were said to be installed upon L8 failed for what might have been the first time in years. TalOS also noted that whatever equipment was being used to transmit this message must have aged several years at this pond. His words about time being ruined must have held a grain of truth.
+I hereby request that forces be send to save your brother. We… we will all become dust if this course remains true.+
Thus a plea was made.
So TalOS needed to decide what to do. He was blind at this moment, unable to know what will happen. There was no divine inspiration to help TalOS know what should happen. Calibre, who has helped TalOS for several Decades, did not know what to suggest as he remembered the times when the Men of Iron rose up.
A decision needed to be made.
