Amid the chaotic stars, disaster never ceased.
Just as Guilliman waited in the Ultima Segmentum for the support fleet from Iax to arrive, a truly cataclysmic upheaval erupted within the Pariah Nexus.
On the bridge of the Ark Mechanicus, amid the constant din of machinery, the Data Priest's synthesized voice betrayed a trace of tension and bewilderment as his report crackled through the loudspeakers.
"Honored Belisarius Cawl, current time: 10235.448 hours. An anomalous Warp signal has been detected in the central region of the Nephilim subsector, an area that theoretical models indicate should be completely isolated from Warp power. Peak signal strength has reached 32154.234 standard units, with a fluctuation frequency ranging from 134.66 hertz to 789.12 hertz and a spectral energy density between 854.15 joules per hertz and 901.23 joules per hertz. Its characteristics do not match 99.99% of conventional Warp signals in the database, with a similarity of less than 0.01%."
Cawl, who had been bent over the console analyzing Necron Blackstone Artifacts, swiftly turned his head and focused his multispectral visual sensors on the Priest, his logic processors rapidly analyzing the data.
"Data Priest, run diagnostic program version 4.6.2. Check the operational status of the monitoring equipment's 329 core sensor modules, 854 data transmission lines, and 63 signal processing units. Verify data accuracy three times using a triple-redundancy algorithm."
The Data Priest's mechanical arms moved rapidly, entering commands into the console as his core processing unit worked at high speed.
"Archmagos, the diagnostic program has been executed. All three verification results are consistent. Equipment is functioning normally, with no fault codes or signs of electromagnetic interference. The probability of data accuracy is 99.999%. The signal appeared at 10235.448 hours and has persisted for 67.89 seconds. Its intensity is still increasing at a rate of 12.34 standard
