>Meanwhile, on the Necrontyr's homeworld, their Crypteks were hard at work studying their evil star, trying to figure out what made it so special, so horrible.
>It was so massively disproportionate in radioactive emissions compared to all stars the Necrontyr studied in former Old One territories.
>The answer was realized when the Necrontyr discovered the star parasites, the C'tan.
>They were things of pure energy, coils of magnetic flux wound so tightly that the laws of reality bent in its wake to whatever the parasites so desired.
>Three realizations were made.
>Firstly, that the Old Ones hunted the C'tan from their territories to protect their worlds.
>Secondly, the Old Ones had left these termites to feast on OUR star, instead of destroying them when they had us at their mercy, not even bothering to tell us over open communication channels that that existed, a gesture that would have taken no energy nor risk on their part and done nothing but engratiate ourselves to them.
>And finally, that these were the creatures the Necrontyr would need to finally kill the Old Ones; Beings of energy to fight beings of energy.
>The C'tans would be employed directly as tamed warbeasts, or, if the C'tan proved not so harnessable or intelligent, they would serve as simple batteries for powering our strongest god-killer weapons.
