Status: SideJet Engine maneuvering within the galaxy
Why do you look so excited. It's just a piece of wreckage. γ
Sitting in his office, picking through the catalogue materials, Perturabo squinted at his visibly overexcited head, muttering to himself as he walked around the office "his own body".
[Hey! It's not a space shipwreck, but it's a piece of the wreck of the Ark that is directly related to Belisarius Kaul! Exploration, salvage, and recovery β isn't that exciting enough? γ
[You really look like a hairy boy who sailed for the first time, fortunately, I don't have to let my heir see this kind of humiliating scene this time, I will assign some reliable and steady people to lead the team. γ
[Be sure to let them remember to bring camera equipment!] I don't know if this time it's a single miracle or ten consecutive shots into the soul, I really can't waitββ]
What inexplicable nonsense are you talking about? What the hell is 'one draw can do miracles'? Do you have a hobby of strange aliens? Instant messaging is sure to be there, and any Iron Warrior veteran of the Second Company with experience in exploring space drifters or jumping gangs is enough to hang you mortals who occupy my flesh and fight them. γ
Speaking of this, Bian Mu gave the other party a cold snort from the depths of his nostrils with disgust, [Besides, can't you sit down for a while. Walking around affects my ability to handle work. γ
[Will Perturabo also be distracted by such a trivial matter?] γ
[Not at Perturabo, but the wet piece of the four-legged furry creature that Perturabo is using has 'Moving Object Capture Reflexes' and 'Dynamic Visual Acuity Boost' pre-written, and it's a high priority.] γ
[Ah, this is indeed my carelessness, sorry, Pepe, come, kiss the puppy-]
The attendant officer, who was still faithfully on duty in the office, distorted his gaze to the few lines of non-nutritious daily report sentences on the Chinese document in his hand, as if it was some very important ultimate mystery of the universe.
"Hmm, I feel like there's something wrong with the smell in my ears, isn't that too oily? Ahlin, I'll go to Honso in a moment and get two bottles of ear wash and some clean dressings. β
"Your will, my lord."
The attendant neatly sorted out the papers at hand in five minutes, and then left the office in a seemingly polite but rapid manner.
[I hate ear wash.] Also, how many times have you said it. Bah! Phew! Don't make a stupid expression with my face!!! Ramizane Kalosini! γ
After satisfying himself by sucking the fluff of the black and white dog's ears and head and rubbing the hair on the back of his neck with his hands, Lamizan finally let go of Peturabo with great mercy.
[Is the Exploration Team roster decided?] γ
Bian Mu grunted in his guttural voice dissatisfiedly, [If there was no one who was very rude to disturb other people's work, it should have been determined a long time ago. The list of teams and the action plan have been sent. γ
[Let me see...... They were all old friends, and there were fewer of them than I thought. γ
[How big is that fragment, and how many Astartes do we have on hand?] How many people do you want to send? One connected? γ
[That is to say, direct positioning and teleportationββ]
The dog scorned a certain obviously overexcited librarian with a "you want to go and give it away yourself, don't get involved with my property" look.
[Although maintaining the relative speed of motion is not a big problem for the Iron Blood, the hull fragments are extremely unstable, and from the perspective of size and various perspectives, it is very likely that the center of gravity will shift after the first Terminator teleportation is completed, resulting in unknown errors in all subsequent teleportations.] γ
[For example, after the teleportation ends, do you find that a team of Terminators are all alive in the walls and growing together with metal?] Ramizan shuddered as she imagined the scene.
[This is one of the relatively less bad deaths.] Bian Mu jumped off the sofa throne, passed by before going to relax on the footpad and viciously stabbed the knee of his body with his mouth, [Don't use my body to make that kind of small movement that is too mortal, very disgusting, very weak. γ
His body opened its mouth, seemingly speechless, and watched as the Fourth Primordial proceeded next.
Perturabo walked over to his footpad, emblazoned with the crest of the warband and ribbon, happily straightened all his paws, leaned over and stretched out his two front legs, opened his mouth wide and yawned comfortably, then extended his hind legs, followed by a top-level "general shiver" from head to tail tip, and exhaledββ! The big dog with rich fur shook the shiny fur all over his body.
In between work, relax your muscles and you can continue.
The Demon Primordial stepped briskly, wagged its big tail, and happily returned to the couch to continue to deal with business.

Destiny Steel
Hall of Omens
The Thousand Sons Supreme Sorcerer (crossed out) - The Silver Skull Prophet Master Emenut's divination and prophecy demonstration class is underway
Ancient incense with precious components smoldered in the censer, and the thin smoke swirling rose in the air, as if a laughing spirit peered into the world of the living, and the dome of the hall echoed the whispers of the director of the think tank.
At either end of the circle sat two Astartes, one in the blue armor of the Think Tank and the other in the black armor of a priest, with several ancient divination parchments spread out on and around the priest's knees.
There was no other light source in the hall, and the circle was surrounded by four incense burners, and around the incense burners were nine sacred candles, the candlelight obscuring the faces of the think tank director and the acting priest in the smoke.
The ballad words were describing the omens they had just seen.
"I have heard the triumphant cheers that belong only to them;
The bright moon of the hometown sparkles in the lapis lazuli sky;
I hold high the torch of antiquity;
I walked through the crowded night;
A brilliant man born from the shadows,
and their people came.
Stop here in the footsteps of Iraq,
Despise all longing enemies.
The door of death is opened for me,
For the wings of gold bring their men,
The Laureate Man,
It's like home. β
The interpreted words fell with a melodious ending.
"Alright, that's it," Emenute nodded as he pointed to the various rune amulets and tarot cards scattered on the sand, "The divination results of the next action are really clear, and this is also because of the subtle proximity to it in time and space. Our job is to translate it into more explicit and straightforward words and report it to the War Commander as a preparation and guide for this operation. - Did you analyze anything from this, Julius? β
The think tank apprentice and acting pastor sitting across from the teacher wrinkled his face and began to quickly flip through the various interpreting guides for divination and omens.
"Hmm...... Well...... I guess this may mean, we're going to find something important on the target, maybe a relic of some saint, um, um, and then maybe something to do with some Imperial artifact? β
"But it's a mechanical ark, so it's not very likely. It's a little off, but it's not bad," his teacher nodded approvingly, "I've got some of my verve, Julius." β
The Acting Priest bowed his head a little ashamedly, "I'll work harder, Master Emenute." β
Emenute nodded, satisfied with the student's humility and eagerness, and sent a message to the bridge.
"There is a high probability that the ancient warriors of the Third Legion will be recovered in this operation."
Wail............
