+Psi Scanners have picked up new signals.+ Declared a Magos as they sent the new readings to TalOS, +A new fleet is coming into the system!+
To TalOS’s horror numerous portals began to open up across the space the Xenos held. Slowly ships began to emerge from what was nearly a hundred portals that soon beckoned nearly a hundred ships.
TalOS quickly figured it out. This was the fleet that was meant to ambush the Mechanicum from the system before.
This was a battle they could not win.
+If we were to employ measures of retreat will we be safe to engage in Warp Travel?+
There was a moment’s chatter among the noosphere but the result did come from their most esteemed Magos, +We will be able to retreat out of the enemy’s range and engage the warp drives. We will lose ships, but far less than if we engage the enemy.+
+Then we will start the retreat.+ TalOS declared as he looked towards the ships that had his sons and soldiers upon them, +Your sacrifice was admirable. I shall not forget any of your names.+
And with that the fleet began to retreat by using the planet as a shield. The enemy might be in range soon but the with the planetary body in the way they would be able to leave without another shot fired against them.
As the Warp Drives began to warm themselves TalOS got a signal. The Primarch noticed the source and quickly linked, +Decarii D4M! Why have you contacted me!?+
+They have the ability to read the future!+ Declared the Acillian straight out, +Here is the information.+
TalOS felt a package arrive into his system and the Primarch realized, +Why did you…+
+As I am to die, the risk of contaminating the ranks of the Acillian are minimal. I am sorry to have not asked your permission Father.+ The Acillian said as TalOS noticed a change in the Acillian’s vitals, +Good bye.+
The last thing TalOS received was the confirmation of his son’s detonation. The mission and lives came first, and TalOS studied the records with the realization that the enemy were indeed using choirs to predict their movement.
There were things they could do, but TalOS liked none of them. He did however reach over and snared the Blackstone so that his next thought could not be seen by the Warp.
>Scramble the fleet and set everyone’s final destination to Lucius. With so many locations/predictions they will be overwhelmed.
>Using null tech, try and mask a majority of the fleet while letting the rest lead the enemy on a wild goose chase.
>They are stronger, together
>Write ins
Your sons deaths were not in vain.
