Archmagos Lucasstro did not let the sudden, monumental discovery go to his head.
As an experienced Archmagos, he knew time was short. He had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not merely to record the boundless knowledge contained in this STC interface, but to verify its most fundamental function: its production capability.
The Imperium had actually captured many STC Templates, but many of them had been damaged for one reason or another.
As the Archmagos considered this, he swiftly used encrypted binary commands to mobilize the resources above.
Soon, a Heavy Lifting Servo-Servitor rumbled heavily. With its thick hydraulic lifting arm, it carefully lowered an enormous, rust-covered lump of scrap that looked like the wreckage of a fighter engine, placing it before the newly raised Control Console formed from energy.
"Begin transcribing the data immediately! Open every available channel! Prioritize analysis of the underlying architecture and identifiable modules!" Lucasstro ordered the Tech-Priests beside him.
At the same time, his mechanical fingers, covered in precision sensors, began working rapidly across the flickering blue holographic Control Console.
His objective was clear: complete an initial readout and backup of the STC database in as little time as possible, while activating this production line, dormant for untold ages, for a live test.
The data transfer was silent, but the production line's activation unleashed a tremendous roar that shook the senses.
The instant Lucasstro pressed a complex rune on the Control Console representing "activate production sequence"—
RUMBLE!!!
A deep, powerful rumbling suddenly erupted, as though rising from the heart of the earth!
The entire vast underground space began to shake and tremble violently!
Company Captain Paulus and the Word Bearers beside him immediately lowered their stances and scanned their surroundings warily, raising their Bolters in an instant. They thought they had triggered some Defense Mechanism, or
