Phi knew from the future that the Kins have always had a complicated relationship with the Imperium, and while they've never actually gone to war against the Imperium, they haven't really done much to make themselves friends either.
They are generally neutral towards the Imperium, preferring to focus on internal matters rather than international affairs, their indifference challenged only by their opportunism. This time the Imperium would come to reclaim a Primarch, war was highly probable. Unity was necessary at least on Thion. Ironic in a sense, he would wage he own Unification War.
XXI smiled at the idea.
Phi considered what to say to the official pair of one Grymnir and one Brokhyr Iron-Master and their retinues of this Kindred assembled in front of him.
He decided to play along. He'd seen how quickly these two would react to someone trying to manipulate them, so he did not played too dumb, feigned ignorance, and then tried to get them talking.
- "So, why am I here?" he asked.
-The Grymnir [reminder: Grymnir is a function and a psyker] smiled broadly. "Because we want to talk to you, of course! We heard rumors you were coming here to our home planet. And now you're standing before us."
-The Brokhyr of unknown name [reminder: Brokhyr is a function, a status] looked at Phi curiously. "Why would you need to talk to me? I'm sure if you wanted to see me you should have sent a messenger or something."
- Phi shrugged. "We didn't know where else to go, and since you're the leaders of the Kindred... Well, I thought maybe you might be able to help me find some information."
-Brokhyr nodded slowly. "Well, that makes sense," he said to the Grymnir. He turned his attention back to Phi. "And what kind of information are you looking for?"
-Phi took a deep breath. It wasn't easy being around these people without having any idea who they were or what they wanted. But he was used to playing the part, and he was good at pretending. Now came the hard part; making them think they had convinced him.
- "Oh, um, well..."
-Grymnir interrupted. "Tell me about yourself," she commanded.
[Phi Thionson is famous among the Thion III Kin, yet a mysterious figure]
Phi hesitated briefly, wondering how much he should tell them. Then he remembered his training and began telling them everything he could remember. He told them how he had grown up in the Kin Guard and how he aspired to eventually reclaim the stars for the Kin. How he had been assigned to served under Brokhyr Iron-Master Thadic himself. About that he had been created by the Emperor, a potent entity, to become one of his Primarchs. Of the grimdark future that awaited all of them if nothing was done. Of his travels through space [he refused to allude to time-travel and others secretive trump cards]. About the necessity of the Kin to unite once more. he spoke with truth and respect, his Primarch aura enhancing his speech a little.
