After Chagatai's return, Qin Mo had once discussed the Primarchs with the Emperor's human side.
They had even devised a plan: use the Warp connection between clone Primarchs and their originals to locate where the originals were.
No matter how extraordinary the awakened Corvus's ability to hide himself was, even the Emperor's human side could not sense his presence when he appeared. Yet clone Corvus could still sense the original's existence.

Then, halfway through the experiment, the Emperor's human side told Qin
