It was possible that the digital life was Guilliman, but it was hard to believe that Guilliman was digital life.
No matter what, the Emperor couldn't believe the levelheaded Guilliman would make such a radical move. If someone had said it was Russ, he might have given it some thought—even if it was Russ!
But unlike the Emperor, an expert on raising children, Leon's investigation report won unanimous approval from everyone, including Dorn and Magnus. After all, in the Primarchs' group chat, Guilliman's Ultramarines were known as the Sons of War.
A quick aside: Hogg's behavior had grown increasingly outrageous. He liked beating up the other Primarchs, too, leaving them all with no small amount of psychological trauma. Horus, the group admin, was especially affected, and so the great Horus had started another group chat without inviting Hogg.
To keep Hogg from finding out, all the Primarchs kept up an act in the larger chat he was in. Led by Jonson, who had no secrets, they'd kept it up for a full ten thousand years. Even when Slaanesh abducted Hogg to serve as a ***, they'd thoughtfully sent in a few Servitors to reply automatically.
Don't ask why the Emperor and Hogg weren't in this family group chat. When it came to impersonating people, even Horus had to admit he couldn't compare. He gave his wholehearted support to the idea that Hogg was the child most like the Emperor. Horus wasn't about to take credit for that honor.
Though people had always criticized him for it, every Primarch, including Jonson and Hogg, knew—and agreed without prompting—that Horus was their big brother. He treated all his brothers well. Of course, above the big brother was the eldest brother, and no one would fight Hogg for that title. They really couldn't beat
