Facing this veteran who had been with him since he was young, Calvin responded politely, but his gentle tone inevitably contained more real and specific emotions.
But this is obviously not the time to reminisce about old times, and the life spans of both parties are so long that even though they have not seen each other for a long time, they still regard the matters before them as the highest priority.
As Calvin's silver figure appeared on the high platform at the top of the bridge, the eyes following him were also guided by his hands. Together with the other battleship commanders in the video link in the dome hall of the battleship, they turned their attention to
Move back to the home screen.
Under the shadow that is constantly filled with black as the information from the scanning array is fed back, making it appear more concrete, the displayed volume has far exceeded everyone's initial expectations.
"Here is the throne! It may be bigger than a star castle!"
The weapons array surveying and mapping officer was the first to couldn't help but exclaimed. According to his previous experience in the bad combat environments he encountered, the volume of this shadow that was about 5 light minutes away from them exceeded his largest.
Target strike record.
"At least..."
The lieutenant colonel officer responsible for the internal defense of the warship and anti-jump gang operations supplemented the surveying and mapping officer's judgment.
As he is naturally more sensitive to the three-dimensional structure of battleships, he unexpectedly focused his attention on the parameters of the target's thickness on the auspicious instrument.
In the data displayed in real time on the data board, among the various values related to the target area parameters, these are only marked as secondary priorities...
"Abnormal metal sensing!
The spatial structure index is abnormal!
There is an unknown energy source at work!
There are many similar templates in the database!
Includes Imperial Dockyard and Foreign Order databases!
But the applicable rate does not exceed 30%!”
As the distance approaches, more data is fed back together;
It was the data link composed of these more directional information that allowed the experienced officers present to come up with an unbelievable speculation that was consistent with Calvin:
What appears right in front of the fleet may be a huge metal mass composed of nearly a hundred Imperial, Eldar, and Orc warships, which have gone through various extreme force field space environments and finally collided, twisted, and fit together. Calling this extreme existence a traditional space hulk is no longer enough to describe its dimensions and threats.
Calvin and everyone else were at a loss for words about this "uninvited guest" who suddenly appeared.
Among the original body's limited combat experience and nearly infinite "hidden memories" (other timelines), the only thing of similar scale and structure is the Orc's Battle Moon.
But even the Battle Moon is just a collection of metal junk, and it does not have such a "multi-source" composition as the guy in front of me.
"What to do with it?"
Nicholas, the captain of the Forbidden Army who followed Calvin all the way, asked, and it was only then that the mortal crew members who only followed the original body with their eyes discovered the existence of the former.
Their sense of existence should not be so low, but the existence of the original body is so dazzling that these "adamantine foundations" are sometimes ignored.
"Then we have to look for the source that keeps it here."
Calvin frowned and retrieved similar experiences from his vast memory. The existence of space hulks, which are similar to "movable roadblocks", has been recorded very early in the history of the empire, and its most distant records can even
Dating back to the days of the Unification War.
Their active scope is not limited to various territories of the empire in the real universe. Even in some busy subspace channels, you can also receive accidental news of their appearance.
These space hulks will not stay in these locations for long. According to the research of the Navy and the Tribunal, they are just the product of some kind of subspace tidal push.
When these drives and the fulcrum of power that maintains their existence are destroyed, these relics of the old era will eventually return to their rightful place...
The brief thought ended here. The original body looked at all the expectant eyes on the bridge and the officers waiting for his order, and then gave his order based on his judgment just now:
"Log on to it!
Find the energy source and destroy it. This huge metal garbage will naturally return to where it belongs!"
"Your will!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately began to formulate a landing plan.
This is actually the responsibility of a leader. When an incident occurs, a qualified leader does not necessarily need to finish everything.
On the contrary, a true leader only needs to point out the direction for everyone, and then lead everyone to implement their will firmly and forcefully.
Calvin happily watched the operation status of each action deck under the bridge. From the command deck's commanding perspective, he could clearly see the crew working selflessly.
Behind these busy crowds, there are thousands of people and resources on the entire fleet, which are being mobilized efficiently and ruthlessly by the fleet in the name of a war machine in the name of the Legion.
Resources, personnel;
Rules, discipline.
Countless people and things make up the battleship itself, and multiple battleships, ultimately forming this behemoth called the fleet.
From the perspective of the world that Calvin came from, this itself was an engineering miracle. So while he paid attention to the work and wishes of these elites of human civilization, he was also full of his personal respect for them. Calvin did not continue to watch. Soon after the information from various units on the action deck was summarized, he himself joined the decision-making discussion on the command deck.
"What? You also want to join the landing team?
This is too dangerous! Please forgive me for refusing this unreasonable request!"
Tybos loudly complained to the original body. With the size of his Astartes and the superhuman organs of two hearts and three lungs, from a mortal perspective, it sounded like a roar like thunder.

But the commanders of each fleet member present on the bridge were very calm.
The meeting is still continuing, and everyone is discussing possible situations in this way. Communication among the Astartes has always been like this, and naturally they will not make a fuss about voices of this level.
But Tabos's words did make sense. The original body's wish to participate in the landing was indeed declined by most of the officers.
It’s not that they are worried about the enemies they may encounter on the space hulk, but because Calvin’s previous science education to them gave these Astartes a deep enough understanding of the instability of space and time on the space hulk.
This high degree of instability in time and space naturally reminds the Astartes of Calvin's disappearance in Orpheus not long ago (decades ago in fact).
And it was precisely the thought of this threat that made everyone express sufficient support and sympathy for Tabers' concerns.
They can understand Tybos' thoughts and can naturally sympathize with his pain. In the eyes of the current Astartes, the disappearance of the original body is the highest possible matter that needs to be killed.
"Okay... I reserve my opinion. But all landing troops must carry teleportation beacons as necessary rescue means."
Calvin touched his nose in embarrassment, which was probably one of the few body language he retained from his mortal days.
After achieving their goal, everyone tacitly turned the topic to the next process. After all, after getting along for so long, everyone had a sufficient understanding of the original body - when the original body had touched its nose to show concession, if there were still people who refused to comply.
Don’t hesitate to express your opinions completely.
Then for a long time to come, you will see the original body on the training ground, and you will have an extraordinary interest in this "brave and upright" colleague.
