In the dedicated small cafeteria of the Hall of Champions, Calvin was eating an unknown portion of the special food in his hand.
Sitting around and watching him eat were his comrades from the Honor Guard whom he had not seen for five years.
After enjoying his first physical meal in five years, Calvin put down the knife and fork in his hand.
He looked at the quiet comrades around him. Five years was not a long time, but it was enough to produce several hearty battles.
The paladins wearing Terminator power armor in front of them, when they are not performing the duties of the Honor Guard, exist more to provide protection for the Grand Master on the battlefield.
Project the most powerful force in the most dangerous places, and perform the most stable and reliable guardianship function in the most dangerous places.
This is the daily life of the Paladins.
In addition to their daily protective work, they are also among the strongest individual soldiers on the battlefield.
Therefore, as the strongest people besides the Grand Master, they are also most often used as the "sharp knives" part of the psychic discipline, used to break the strongest defense or kill the most evil enemies.
If it is too strong, it will break easily, so the battle damage rate of the Paladin, which is always used as the tip of a knife, has always been high.
When they are asked to perform tasks other than guarding on the battlefield, it usually means that the battle situation is not going well.
The commander needs to throw his second-ranked reserve force into the battle to reverse the chance of victory.
Therefore, he would either directly punch the opponent's leader in the face with the enhanced spiritual energy of the entire team of Gray Knights. If he won, he would kill the opponent's formation on the spot; if he lost, he would be snatched back under the cover of all the Gray Knights risking their lives.
, but there is no guarantee whether the ones snatched back are alive.
Fortunately, they were brave enough and lucky enough that Calvin could fully see their faces after waking up from this hibernation.
However, dangers on the battlefield are unavoidable, so more or less each of these Paladins has a few scars on their armor or faces that are difficult to erase with time.
After circling around these veterans, Calvin asked everyone, "Which company are you with now?"
"Our combat organization is now different from that of the Paladins. During the current duty period, we are all in a 4-4 organization, with me on one team and Golden on the other. The remaining people rotate."
Gasvin replied, and then he slapped his forehead in the face of Calvin's curious eyes, took out the psychic seed that Calvin originally left, held it in his hand and said:
"Because of this, we can still maintain the same frequency at a limited distance even when you are not around. So our tactical positioning has been permanently changed."
When he saw the seed, Calvin understood the reason for all this.
"Ah, the secondary sub-channel formed spontaneously after leaving the mother body? This is very interesting"
On a small scale and on the same frequency, it still has unparalleled special effects in tactics. Especially in some special terrains and systems, this sharing of ideas and frequency will geometrically multiply the weight of one's own system. After all,
Four Terminators and four Terminators controlled by one mind are completely different firepower densities.
Calvin's only question now is how different this seed has become from its original body after losing contact with it for so long.
And will this difference affect its communication with the mother? If not, is it necessary to repair these differences?
Calvin took the psychic "seed" from Gavins' hand, and he could feel the seed's response to his mother's body.
There is no problem with communication. Although the channels of thinking communication are much less than the latest one, this is a version problem. Just upgrade it.
Below this is the state of the entire seed, which is also growing in one of several possible directions preset by Calvin.
This also made Calvin breathe a sigh of relief, because any changes that may occur at this stage, even if they seem to have many benefits, are definitely not what Calvin wants.
That means that the growth settings of the seeds are out of control under the dual interference of psychic energy and subspace.
Once this situation occurs, Calvin's best solution is to find all users of this seed and recover the seed.
Completely seal it, discard it, and never use it again.
After all, there is a story about the Thousand Sons in the old materials, and Calvin had already clearly understood it.
When it comes to matters related to psionic energy and the Warp, any luck may ultimately lead to the conspiracy and malice of the Lord of Change.
Calvin would rather get the clumsiest results in every experiment and exploration than to see the "accidents and surprises" that may appear.
The spiritual "seed" or anchor point taken out from Gavins before him made Calvin very pleased with its stability and the purity of Gavins's spiritual energy.
If either one of the two is lacking, the seed will not be in such perfect condition now that it has been five years since I left Calvin.
Calvin gently lifted the "seed" of spiritual energy in his palms, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to instill his own spiritual energy into it.
His latest psychic characteristics were immediately instilled into this seed, which naturally also included a little bit of understanding and characteristics about salvation.
After he returned the seed to Gavins, the other party placed it again between his eyebrows.
After completing more than one procedure with all members of the guard, Calvin chatted with them about what happened before Calvin fell into coma.
"So, there are three extermination orders in the end?" Calvin asked.
"Yes, three, all in Alfalan." Gavins replied.
"We gave birth to one for them?" Calvin continued.
"Indeed, bipolar cyclone torpedoes are restricted by imperial laws. Only two are allowed to be stored in a sector. The one on our ship was temporarily transferred from the Hess sector." Gavins said.
"Used it in the end?"
"After using it, I found out after I came back that a barge had taken "it" away before we set off."
"Okay..."
The next day, Calvin returned to his residence and first completed the atonement ceremony for the armor under the witness of the technical sergeant.
With the help of auxiliary machinery, he put on the well-maintained Terminator power armor and walked towards the church where the Grand Master was.
In one of Titan's main thoroughfares, Calvin walked towards the Grand Master's office located below the cathedral in his unique image of a huge, silver Terminator power armor.
Waiting for him is the final evaluation and report on this task, as well as the next task arrangement.
But what he was thinking about during the journey was not this, but about the information and clues he collected while inside the atmosphere of SATA One.
The documents Calvin obtained on SATA One regarding Imperial Governor Hyland have been sorted and purified after he returned to Titan.
The timeline of disease contamination in the entire SATA segment can also provide some useful information from other sources.
Although five years have passed, Calvin knows that in this battle that ended with the Extermination Order, no one in the empire's decision-making ranks was satisfied.
This is a manifestation of their incompetence and a shame for the entire Inquisition and the Gray Knights.
Therefore, any information about the epidemic in the SATA sector would be of interest to the Inquisition and the Gray Knights.
They have indeed been using this information to review the entire battle afterwards, in order to look for fleeting opportunities for victory that may have existed in the first place.
