Chapter 52 See you again
After browsing the more than one hundred pages of reports, experimental data and appendices submitted by Honso, Perturabo had to admit for the first time that one of his descendants might Such a talented genius has truly emerged.
This kind of talent means - whether you make him big - for example, give him the command of an army and a planet and let him defeat the empire, or make him small - surround you As long as you let him take care of the laboratory on your ship, he will make your daily work schedule more fulfilling and never give you the slightest chance to take a break.
And considering that this prodigy’s son is still a mixed race, this matter becomes even more complicated.
[I am convinced that in this matter, the powerful iron bones in my genes must have been deeply injected into that stubborn piece of broken stone, making his ragged and weak genes become outstanding. stand up. 】
【……】
【What's wrong? Do you have any objections to this? 】
【...No, cough, you are right, you are very right. 】
After Aharin diligently served his two hosts from the canteen with the seventh cup of hot Furi White Reca coffee and the sixth portion of smoked Glocks jerky, there was something about him The fate of his colleagues was finally decided.

"Due to the need for temporary combat missions" - they were told so, when the Destiny Steel jumped out from Mandeville Point near the Cadia system, only a few people came to the hangar deck to see off the Ultramarines. .
Ventris and Pasanius - the latter looks much more energetic than when he set off - one of his arms has been replaced with an advanced mechanical prosthesis, in his words , "Unexpectedly good, almost the same as the arm my mother gave me." They were saying their final goodbyes to the "friends" they made during their stay on the Destiny Steel.
“I really hope I can convince the Chapter Master to help you more,” Julius sighed and frowned slightly, “There are only two of you, and I have no doubt about your courage. Glory and determination, but even if you complete the Atonement Crusade, how will you return?"
Even if you already know that Julius is not the father sleeping in the stasis field of the distant Solemn Temple, but Just this expression and action have moved the two veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles again.
“This is a punishment that we voluntarily accept.…” Ventris muttered in a rare way, without saying the next word, “We are taking off our double-headed eagle and chapter emblem. We made this oath with our loyalty in the middle of the fortress. Only by completing our death oath can we walk into the Hera Fortress with our heads held high again and be re-accepted by our brothers.”
Seeing that the young priest was still a little puzzled, the tone of the former fourth company commander became softer, "I know, young Julius, your blessings to us are so sincere, even though you haven't seen it yet. There is a darker and crueler side to this universe, but don’t worry,” Uriel laughed, “Pasanius and I will not give up so easily.”
“Exactly. So," the blond sergeant continued, "Look at this, how powerful the new arm Parogov installed for me is! I can't wait to use it to teach the enemy a lesson! It's a fantastic purification miracle for me, and we will definitely be able to return to Macragge."
The young vicar with the face of Guilliman nodded and gave his blessing and two rosary beads. Given to the two Ultramarines Atoners. "I, Parogov and the brothers of the Tenth Company did this for you, may they keep your souls closer to the throne." "Glory be with you. May you have your wish, Ventris, Lesani ."
"May the courage and glory...be with you."
They stepped into a modified Thunderhawk gunship that had been prepared, and sailed towards their destined destiny with their own weapons, courage and glory.
See you again, Ultramarines.
Julius watched as the Thunder Eagle disappeared into the sea of stars heading for the planetary transportation route.

[I suddenly have a question, Perturabo. 】
[If you have any questions, just ask directly. 】
【Well, we jumped out so close to the Cadia Galaxy, why didn't anyone come to check on us? ]
[Oh, I asked Walter to use the trade license and code of the Rogue Trader issued by the old skeleton. 】
【Ah? Do we really have this? 】
【This is the flagship of the original body, Lamizane. As long as you think about it, you can always find some useful small objects from somewhere. 】
[Your concept of useful gadgets is a bit off, Pepe. 】
Quack…………
