Webway space in the satellite orbit above the central city.
Even Gamma World had never detected the existence of this Webway gate.
In truth.
The entire universe was filled with Webways built by the Old Ones. Not only within the Milky Way, but in other star systems as well. These routes through Webway space, which completely isolated travelers from the Warp, were scarcely slower than the spatial jumps of Phase Engine Zen monks when traveling between extragalactic galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
A Phase Engine's warp jump was not instantaneous either. It required a lengthy period of positional deployment before it could make the jump.
Opening a Webway gate on a satellite in Gamma World's airspace.
Was practically a provocation to Gamma World.
If they appeared at this Webway gate and failed to meet Gamma World's world lord before being surrounded by the Expeditionary Force and the Imperial Guard, the enraged expeditionary troops would tear them to pieces.
Thus, their cooperation entailed enormous risk.
Even though Yvraine could revive them through the power of Ynnead, resurrection came at the cost of offering up the souls of other Eldar.
Before they completed their mission of killing Slaanesh, every death was an unnecessary loss to the Ynnari.
Therefore, the moment they emerged onto the satellite from the Webway, they had to communicate with the people of this world and demonstrate their goodwill.
And they had to offer benefits substantial enough to move Gamma World.
In the past, they would not even have deigned to spare a glance at a small cluster of worlds like Gamma World.
But now, when facing a world cluster like Gamma World, they could only seek an alliance and cooperation.
"Prophet Yvraine, the Webway gate has opened!"
Gamma World.
On a fully modified satellite above the world, Gamma
