"Psychiatrist" Repeatedly Considered Reporting to the Primarch

Every word of the report

Dawn Star, planetary capital Karena, library.

This old building became Magnus's temporary office.

Hathor Mhat entered and saw Anku Enan, the Guardian the Prospero Great Library, dressed in a red robe, leading his men to scan and replicate ancient and precious books.

Enan turned and gave Hathor a friendly greeting.

Hathor then walked toward the Primarch, who was clad in golden armor crafted for him by Terra's finest artisans.

The curved angles, sculpted muscles, and the most exquisite handwriting highlight that it was tailor-made for the Primarch "Thousand Sons" character.

A leather miniskirt reached her knees, a Prospero steel-forged Scimitar hung at her waist, and on the other side was Plasma Gun gifted by Perturabo.

Hathor's gaze was fixed on a massive tome, filled with Psionic Energy knowledge, hanging beside him. Even compared to Astartes, it was enormous.

He knew that the book contained the part of all the knowledge the Primarch had acquired, the part that the Primarch considered most precious.

Countless pieces of knowledge from around the world will be written into it in the future, making the Book of Magnus an unprecedented work.

"Father," Hathor said in his mind's voice. As Thousand Sons who had crossed the boundary, he had mastered the skills of the other four schools, but none of them were as good as his specialty, the Bright Feather Technique.

Magnus's eyes were emerald green today as he stepped away from the Psionic Energy device.

Hathor recognized the several runes flashing on the device as those he had obtained from Lord Nimrod and presented to the Primarch, he thought thoughtfully.

[Therefore, after arriving on Dawn Star, Father buried himself in the library, creating a Warp device that required enormous amounts of Warp energy.]

"Hathor," Magnus's emerald eyes fell upon him, "What do you want?"

"Father, I've captured some of the local Cultists, the Sons of C'tan, and obtained some important information from them," Hathor said telepathically.

"They are called the Sons of C'tan, in connection with the colony ship that brought them to Dawn Star; that ship was called C'tan."

"There's even a colony ship." Magnus's thoughts were tinged with surprise.

"My brother, Perturabo has boarded the massive colony ship in the center of Karena and discovered that the Light of Conviction, though a warship from thousands of years ago, is still functional."

"The Light of Conviction occupies a central position in his evacuation plan; it can carry far more ships than the Legion warships designed for war."

"But he certainly didn't expect there to be another colonial ship."

"Father, the area where the C'tan is located is ravaged by electromagnetic storms, and the Imperium's detection equipment is being interfered with," Hathor explained to his father before continuing.

"More importantly, the colony ship experienced the Psionic Energy awakening of the Old Night during its voyage."

"It's predictable that it will be a tragic story." Magnus smiled sarcastically. He had read about the history of the Witch purges in Terra's books and heard about the Imperium's suspicion of Psyker, especially the Thousand Sons, which far exceeded that of the Shadow of Order and the Blood Angels.

"..." Hathor recounted how Lord Nimrod had informed him, without mentioning the source of the information, leading the Primarch to believe that it had also come from the Sons of C'tan.

In fact, those who escaped from C'tan have long been erased from memory, and the history recorded by Dawn Star is nothing but a fabrication.

Every word spoken by the "Psychiatrist" has been carefully considered in their mind.

Unless the "Psychiatrist" has ulterior motives, it is very difficult to get secrets out of him, not even Apophis and Asava of the "Pavoni Cult".

But the Primarch and Lord Nimrod are exceptions; their powerful mind-reading abilities allow them to obtain anything they desire.

The "Psychiatrist" knew that every word he uttered had to be reasonable and not arouse Magnus's suspicion.

As a former "Telepathist," he knew how to do it, Sons of C'tan was precisely the source of his seemingly legitimate intelligence.

Now, he has not felt any intrusion of consciousness into his mind, indicating that his carefully considered words have won the trust of the Primarch.

The Psychiatrist continued cautiously, "The machine extracted the life force of the Psyker, C'tan was born in the Warp."

"The destruction of Dawn Star was caused by the Death Cult, which manufactured machines that triggered a magnetic reversal."

"My interrogation revealed that the local Planetary Defense Force —the 'Red Dragon' —is also Sons of C'tan."

Hathor reported another piece of information that Lord Nimrod had given him to the Primarch, hoping to draw his father's attention.

Magnus's smile vanished, replaced by a grim expression.

"Never mention Warp entities in front of others; it contradicts the Imperial Truth proclaimed by my father."

After warning his sons, he remained silent for a moment before issuing the order.

"According to the intelligence you obtained from the Sons of C'tan, C'tan and his followers pose a significant threat."

"If they infiltrate among the refugees and bring their dangerous beliefs to other worlds, it will be a huge, widespread threat."

Hathor heard the Thought Impulse sent by Magnus and thought to himself.

As my Lord has said, once the Primarch recognizes the threat posed by the Sons of C'tan, he will exterminate everyone on Dawn Star.

He is unaware that they have been tormented by the Curse of C'tan for generations.

As Hathor pondered, the Thought Impulse sent by Magnus continued to resonate within his mind.

"I must go to Perturabo immediately, tell him about C'tan's threat, and remind him to revise the plan, but this will not be easy."

Hathor nodded subconsciously, recalling Lord Nimrod's assessment of Perturabo.

"He is a genius, and he also has the pride of a genius."

"He is unwilling to admit his Error, and when circumstances change, he will not acknowledge the existence of factors he has not considered; he will stubbornly carry out his plan."

While Hathor was pondering, Magnus continued to issue orders.

"You and Asava, proceed to the C'tan immediately, ascertain the situation, and report back to me as soon as possible."

Hathor frowned. From Lord Nimrod's words, he knew that even most Primarch couldn't contend with the C'tan. Going there would be suicide for him.

Just as he was about to send Thought Impulse, Magnus's voice resonated in his mind once more.

"The Warp device I originally designed was intended to protect the evacuating fleet, enabling it to navigate safely across the Great Ocean and reach a new world."

"Some adjustments are needed now to help me control that C'tan. I suspect that Sons of C'tan's disruption of Dawn Star's magnetic field is part of a huge conspiracy."

"Report to me before you and Asava enter the geomagnetic storm area. I will depart immediately once I have completed the device modification."

Hathor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; he had accomplished half of his mission by gaining the attention of the Primarch.

Although he didn't go immediately, he was still going to risk entering the C'tan, but it was still a good start.

[I hope Father won't be late.]
