He could feel the anger boiling within his mind as he wanted to strike against the Xenos. To teach them a lesson that Humanity was indeed the supreme rulers of the Galaxy and that their little tricks were to be countered by the ingenuity of mankind. Frankly he could have cared less if it was a Priest who wielded such technology, the Xenos were a matter that Perturabo could not let live.
But just as he wanted to run them down and strike them he realized that such a deed was useless. For this entire war they barely understood the Hrud’s abilities and so did he really wish to risk threatening them with the Blackstone Fortress. Was such a vessel capable of holding back such a large amount of Hrud?
That was the issue and he did not like it. Perturabo was ignorant of the situation and thus knew that an assault was not advised. Once he acknowledged this fact he could feel the nagging of his own mind settle itself as he tamed his anger. There will be time in the future for retribution but not yet.
With a pulse of his mind Perturabo led himself to the communications array and claimed it for himself. With the machines ensnared he gave the command, +All vessels, regroup at 98 degrees relative to the Blackstone Fortress. Begin resupply measures and prepare for potential assault by the Hrud.+
With his will delivered Perturabo returned to the general systems of the Iron Blood. He placed into the cogitator systems where he wanted the ship to orient itself and allowed the servitors their time to compute his will into reality. It would take some time but as long as the Hrud did not make their next assault he was confident there would be no issues.
Finished with the matters of his fleet Perturabo turned his attention back to the communication augars. He could see the awaiting connection, so he ensnared it with a push of his will.
+It has been a while brother, I arrived at an opportune time.+ Were the words spoken by TalOS DAV1S, Perturabo’s most estranged brother.
+Why are you here?+ Was the words delivered but Perturabo felt they were delivered with a great amount of annoyance. While he was thankful he was still annoyed at so many little things that nulled at the question of why his brother was even here.
+I received a message seeking assistance against the Hrud, thus Lucius answered.+ His brother said simply.
+I am boarding your ship.+ Perturabo said before severing the connection in annoyance. New directions were given to the Iron Blood, for which led the vessel into one of the many loading docks that belonged to the Blackstone Fortress.
