"Coming from three time units ahead, high frequency fixed frequency signal, time undetermined, range 15 subspace navigation units."
Navigator Samar opened his eyes and turned his attention to the real space maintained by Geiger's stance inside the ship.
"What's the specific time?" Gavins asked.
"The information is incomplete and the specific time cannot be displayed."
Samar turned his head. There was not much white in his pale eyeballs. Due to the mutation in his flesh and blood, his skinny body could only survive in the life-support cabin for a long time.
He responded to the direction of Calvin and others: "The information in subspace itself has no time attribute. What we receive may be the echo of messages from the past, or it may be a warning from the future."
"Then Astropath..."
Calvin turned his attention to the seat on the other side, where the Astropath's seat on the Revenant Redeemer was. But before he could say anything, Samar's next words interrupted the order in his mouth.
"Can't use Astropath!"
"Why?" Tabos did not care about the other party's transgression, but asked Samar's reason for stopping Calvin.
"Because the last sentence in the fixed-frequency signal's request for help is, don't use astropaths! Don't use astropaths!"

"God of All Opportunities! We are in big trouble!" said Bishop Klein, who had walked under the holographic screen at some point.
She used her authority to click on the scheduled voyage locations for four complete Terras in the subspace, and the specific galaxy map was unfolded on the holographic screen.
A fan-shaped area dominated by a single galaxy and composed of a dozen small galaxies is directly below the route of the Redeemer of the Dead.
Tingus sector!
A large-scale administrative node with a registered population of more than 10 billion in the empire was promoted by the empire's special policy to serve as the administrative center of the empire that governs nearly a hundred surrounding planetary worlds!
If there is a problem with the Xingyuting communication network node here, it means that there may be a problem with the planetary world in the entire sector special administrative region!
The Tribunal organization here is definitely stronger than that of ordinary galaxies or even ordinary star regions.
Based on everyone present’s understanding of the Tribunal, they would not be surprised if there were Tribunal lords stationed here and a permanent Tribunal Council established here!
But in this configuration, where at least dozens and at most hundreds of judges gather and work, such a problem unexpectedly occurred.
Moreover, the arrangement of this high-frequency fixed-point signal generator itself also illustrates another thing:
That is, the attempts of this group of judges to purify and save this place have all failed!
Only in this case will they give up actively seeking help from outside and instead send the aid beacon into the subspace in the hope of being rescued by the passing imperial friendly forces!
More than a dozen galaxies! Hundreds of worlds! Up to hundreds of billions of empire citizens!
Everyone present has just escaped from a fierce battle, and the condition of the Soul Redeemer is far from perfect. Are they really capable of participating in such a mission?
"The previous state of subspace here?" Calvin asked on a core point.
"The local reports are all normal, but the surrounding passing ships have registered and reported. There was a short-term subspace storm here that lasted about three years." The navigator lowered his head to read the information and said to Calvin.
"Three years!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment, heavy pressure came to their minds, but no one held the responsibility for this negligence.
Subspace is originally a chaotic and disorderly existence. Such subspace storms, which can last from days to years, have never stopped within the empire. If it hadn't blocked important waterway hubs, no one would usually care about this kind of thing.<
/p>
It’s not that I don’t want to take care of it, it’s that I simply can’t.
In such a vast empire, the communication efficiency between galaxies is inherently low; coupled with the low efficiency brought about by the bloated administrative agencies.
Three years is just enough time for the imperial government to react. By the time the people sent to deal with it arrive at their destination, the storm would normally have ended long ago...
But if you cry wolf too often, it will eventually become true one day. This is the case here.
When I thought about the worst possibility here, that the entire sector was corrupted by the Astropath node, causing systemic pollution, everyone present was speechless.
Once this conjecture came true, for three years, even the words "a thousand miles of corruption" were not enough to describe the specific tragic situation there.
Are they capable of saving this crisis?
It's understandable to be eager to rescue, but it's not a smart move to fight the fire without paying a salary.
"Ask for help!" Calvin raised his head and said decisively.
He pointed his gaze at Jin and his comrades, who had been silent, and then said:
"Brothers, your help is needed here. Please take this ship back to Orpheus immediately. Inform the Inquisition! Inform the Order of the Hammer! Report to the Imperial Star Territory Government! Inform all nearby Astartes Chapters!
In short, let as many people as possible know what is happening here!"
"What about you? Where are you going?" Jin asked.
He smelled an ominous flavor in Calvin's words. The other party seemed to have another destination, but at this critical moment, he sent these imperial guards out.
"We stay, our presence is needed here!" Calvin looked worriedly at the scattered galaxies floating in the universe, and said in a heavy tone:
"We need to reach the surface and know what happened there. If it really happens, then we need to delay it as much as possible and wait for your arrival."
"This is not in line with our mission! Our order is to be with you! You can send others back!" Jin refused without thinking.
"But this meets the needs of the war situation! Only if you go back can the military power here be mobilized to the greatest extent!"
Before King could finish speaking, Calvin interrupted him and explained to him.
As if he was still worried that Jin would be stubborn again, after he finished speaking, he looked at Jin sincerely and said:
"The Emperor taught us not to retreat due to danger, right? Your mission is equally important! Only you can do it best!"
Jin was silent. After he and his colleagues looked at each other again, he performed an eagle salute to Calvin and bowed his head deeply:
"Then before we return, please be sure to protect your own safety..."
Calvin did not respond to Jin's request. He just took the time to take a deep look at everyone present, then turned around and threw off the silver cloak behind him, and walked towards the flight deck.
The same was true for Gavins behind him. He stared at everyone present without saying a word, as if he wanted to remember the faces of these comrades at the last moment of his life.
He silently performed the aquila salute, then turned around and caught up with Calvin as he left.
