The Reconquista fleet continued its way through space at a moderate rate. While it was on the return to Lucius there were still a great many Forge Worlds to visit and acquire more Crusaders from. By this point, both those with and against Mars were for TalOS as he was able to stretch on both sides of the isle for troops.
The fate of the Mechanium’s precense was here after all. If they succeed there will be no question on if the Mechanicum was an equal to the Imperium for it surely was. Where it lacked super soldiers it was making up in both Skitarii and Space Ships.
This is what TalOS witnessed as he watched over the hundreds of ships that were currently in the Machine God’s realm refueling. They were orbiting a nearby Forge World known as Lexeos so that they could resupply the massive fleet and integrate the newcomers.
He allowed himself a moment of relaxation as he allowed the Magos to organize themselves. Already TalOS felt there were things stirring underneath him let them be rivalries or alliances. Such was the simple nature of having such a massive fleet and millions underneath his command. The best thing TalOS could do was organize the Tech Priests by their beliefs and thought processes then assign the most senior among them to command.
Such a measure was needed for the war to come. Once they finish the reconquest there will be a massive reorganizing and a likely formation of a Mechanicum version of the Astartes Legions. From there TalOS will need to put in measures to make sure everyone has a unified view of the coming conflict and an easy way to debate subtle differences in doctrine.
It was during this moment that TalOS’s connection to the cruiser lit up and TalOS’s mind changed dramatically, +Attention crew, Psi-Sensors detect an incoming distortion within the Warp. A fleet numbering five ships are arriving at Solar Coordinates [532164, 126611]. Records indicate that an Imperium fleet was supposed to arrive so place weapon systems on medium alert.+
Those that were in front of TalOS reacted instantly as other ships began doing as he declared. A great many other ships however only started reacting when the light based signal arrived to them. A great many of the vessels did not convert to Noospheric tech because they were waiting for authorization from their own Forge Worlds and it would also take years for them to convert. Such a thing TalOS simply could not force onto the fleets.
Soon the ships arrived in system. Five Cruisers total that bore the mark of the wolf.
The fifth legion, Space Wolves, were the ships that arrived in system.
