Lucius was prepared.
With a single day remaining from the incoming attack TalOS was in the Blackstone Fortress monitoring all that was being done. Several of his mechanrites were connected throughout the panels and systems of the command throne which allowed TalOS to tap into the vast network that was made.
This network was vast as a good part of it was made by the masterminds of Lucius. TalOS learned that after several years of examination and study they were able to discover a rough method to the proper cutting of Blackstone. With this knowledge many of the walls were cut through and gutted to be replaced with numerous cables and wires.
It was this network that the work of numerous Magi could be found. It turned what normally would have been a modestly well connected ship into the network it was. From his Command Throne TalOS could access every single Servitor, Servo-Skull, and Skitarii that was stationed upon the ship. It also eliminated any physical secrets that this vessel could have previously held, many of which were destroyed for having a psychic manner to them.
With this network TalOS was easily able to reach out across space and examine the built batteries and ships. Thanks to the need for ships many of the ships that now guarded Lucius lacked a Warp Drive which was able to double the rate in which ships were built. Next to them was the numerous Plasma Batteries that were built to retaliate against the
At the end they were prepared, but it did not mean they would succeed. They will likely be able to bash away the scouting fleets of Orks but then after that they would not know.
As he thought this a signature was approaching him. With a small smile TalOS returned his mind’s eye to his body and looked at a rather stunned looking UZ1.
+It's beautiful.+ She told him as she looked around the bridge, +All of our work has accomplished this.+
+That is correct.+ TalOS answered her as he basked in the glory, +This fortress is no longer Xenos but of the Mechanicus. It resists us only because it fears oblivion.+
+It was psychic, correct? Was it some sort of soul or another sort of perverted consciousness?+
+I do not know.+ TalOS admitted outright as he shook his head, +It is bothersome however. These deathrows have caused us enough trouble.+
