Regardless of whether they enter or exit the imaginary number of submarines, the crew inside the Storm Boundary will feel quite uncomfortable "abnormalities" in the process. This is not exactly the same as the feeling of an Imperial ship entering and exiting subspace, but it is also very similar, so the former is not very difficult for Space Marines who are used to the latter.

At least Decker didn't show any signs of this discomfort as he ascended the Storm Boundary to the surface of Baal Main, as did the other twelve Blood Angel brethren beside him.

Including Sergeant Canon.

Theoretically, the body of the deceased will not react in any way to changes in the external environment, but this is not certain in subspace. Decker wasn't quite sure what the difference was between imaginary submarine and subspace jumping, but he was still habitually aware of this until the entire ship was completely back to reality, out of the inertia of a good Blood priest.

He and his eleven remaining brothers who were still alive had reorganized themselves, and the damage on their power armor from the desperate battle had been repaired on the ship (at least at first glance). Once the Storm Frontier is at a standstill, they will carry the Canon brothers back to the Angel Fortress of Arakux, where they will rest in the mourning hall inside the warband for their final funeral.

In the original plan, "Storm Frontier Landing" and "Sergeant Canon's funeral" were supposed to be connected. However, since Vasilian, the Janissory Warden, had temporarily decided to send the Storm Frontier to the surface in advance for some reason, the dozen or so Holy Blood Angels who were "under the fence" decided after discussion that it was better not to bother too much on this ship, which had many secrets at first glance.

Asclepius did not support or oppose this—as it was clear that the matter would have no effect on the medical advances he was pursuing. When Decker went to the infirmary about the matter, and was about to inform the other party that his schedule would cause him to be absent for the rest of the study, the other party simply threw him the results of their first phase of the experiment and the theory verification report, and told him to remember to verify it in a way that "the Holy Blood Angel found credible" when he returned.

Looking at the other party's back, which did not reveal the slightest hint of "I can take a break", Decker had no doubt that the other party would continue to work during his absence, because he had no doubt that the subject of making an antidote for the red thirst of the Holy Blood Angel was not the most important research of Asclepius.

During his time working in the infirmary of the Storm Boundary, or rather, doing miscellaneous work, he read more than once from the waste paper that was reused to wipe the table, such as "The Feasibility Report on Trying to Cure the Walking Dead of Nurgle", "Conjecture on Whether the Plague of Subspace Has Basic Commonality", "The Mechanism of Action of Subspace by Affecting the Human Soul to Cause Nerve Compression and Hallucination", etc., which made people not know what to say for a while. In the incubator used to store unproven pharmaceutical reagents that cannot be used in clinical practice (Decker's current reverse work on red thirst suppressants is only worthy of staying), he has also seen a light-opaque vial labeled "Salaxotoxin Antidote".

Decker didn't dare to mention the vials in the thermostat, but he did ask if the research that had been turned into waste paper would continue or be lost. In his opinion, any one of those research articles that can lead to a logically clear and verifiable conclusion is enough to make a member of the Mechinatra in a related research direction rise to the rank of Great Sage. Asclepius, however, only glanced at the waste papers, and replied that the research was not his work, and that the work had been left to credible people to continue.

This puzzled Decker, for the handwriting on the discarded manuscripts was identical to that of Asclepius himself, but the latter's rush to progress on the subject left him with no time to think deeply about the issues. He didn't realize that Asclepius was evasive on the issue: purely out of efficiency. After all, it is too troublesome to explain to the Imperials that "although this one me and the previous one are both me, I am not the same me as me".

For this time, it is better to emphasize to the other party that it is best to hold a consecration ceremony before using the inhibitor prototype at this stage, lest after leaving the Storm Border, there will really be a Tzeentch demon popping out of the bottle - Asclepius hates gods, but if the "god" of the emperor is really useful, then of course he should worship and use it.

Even though he had memorized the precautions, Decker still wrote them down as memos, stored in the servo system of his power armor, and the memory chips of his prototype samples and related reports were also hidden in the storage compartment of the armor. While conducting research on the Storm Boundary, he had little room in his mind for trivial matters other than scientific research because he was always in a hurry. But as he stepped down the ramp of the Storm Frontier and his eyepiece caught him catching the other Red or White Armor (Holy Blood Priests) in the Angel Fortress of Araks in order to kill Sergeant Canon in battle, he suddenly realized the weight of the things in his power armor storage compartment again.

With this heavy responsibility, or perhaps more toxic than despair, he led his fighting brothers behind him to complete all the rituals at the moment, placing the remains of Sergeant Ganon in the mourning hall of the Holy Blood Angels. After doing this, he and his brothers completed a basic examination under the gaze of the archangel in the sculpture, and began to prepare for the next quarantine period, which was also a basic process after a fierce battle with an alien like Tyrann, "just in case". The other brothers accepted this in obedience, but the heavy bottles and reports in the storage compartment behind Decker kept beating his nerves with their presence, prompting him to ask the other Holy Blood priest who was examining him: "I heard that Lord Kobro is currently in the monastery as well. ”

"Yes. But if you want to ask why our chief priest didn't appear on this occasion, that may not be your concern. His colleague said this, but not for any impersonal reason: "Don't worry about the mourning behind Sergeant Canon, who is a hero who fought with Lord San Gillino, and everything will be arranged very properly when the funeral comes." As for you, you've been busy with Skylos for seven years, and now your main concern is how to get a good rest during the quarantine period. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have that leisure." Decker smiled wryly and said, "I have something to report directly to Lord Kobro. ”

His colleague gave him an inexplicable look: "The priest is not here for the time being, but we can expedite your report." ”

"That's a big deal." Decker stressed, "I really need to talk to Master Kobro in person right away. ”

The Holy Blood Priest who had examined him looked a little annoyed, but Decker glared back unflinchingly. They were at a stalemate for a few seconds, and in the end it was Decker's colleagues who sighed and took a step back for the sake of him having suffered Tylen for seven years on Skalus:

"I'll help you apply after the routine inspection is done, but I can't guarantee whether it will be approved." He said to Decker, "You know, the ceremony of that one (who squeezed his eyes in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor Dream) had just ended, and Lord Dante and the chief priest had spoken for a little while, and then the chief priest looked very depressed and shut himself up in his private room. ”

What he said he meant was that he was not optimistic that Decker's application would be approved. But although he didn't know exactly what happened, Decker, who still knew more than the other party, still insisted:

"Please send me a request for an appointment. I think Mistress Kobro would agree. ”
