In the weird atmosphere of the scene, the council hall experienced an extremely efficient meeting, and soon Inquisition and Adeptus Custodes gave a formal response to Men of Iron's visit.

Ordo Sinister will accept access from Men of Iron, and the access location is selected to be in the Arctic area far away from the Imperial Palace.

There are Northern Fortress of Ordo Sinister.

Iax did not have any requirements for the place to visit. He just wanted to see the Psi-Titan he knew from Anger Sage's memory, especially the weapon system above.

After receiving a clear reply, the two Mechanicus Ship ships began to gradually approach the low-Earth orbit of Terra.

The Transport Aircraft released from Industrial Ship carries a tall Machine Body. The appearance and functional components of the machine body are exactly the same as those used by Iax on Forge World Lucius.

As Transport Aircraft gradually descended, the surface of the earth came into view clearly. It was a desolate land covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind howled across the frozen soil.

The environmental monitoring device operating in real time continuously scans the surroundings.

There is some negligible radiation left in the air here, and through the ice and snow, you can still scan the huge potholes all over the ground.

Those are ancient traces left over from the Unification Wars period.

Although the war wounds on Terra have been repaired several times with the assistance of Adeptus Mechanicus.

But this devastated land will never be able to return to what it was like in the past.

According to the coordinate guidance obtained through communication, Transport Aircraft quickly landed in an ice field covered with snow.

Under the optical field of view, the surrounding area is empty.

However, the composite scanning device saw more information.

As the height of Transport Aircraft reached less than twenty meters from the surface.

The entire Transport Aircraft suddenly disappeared into the air as if it had passed through some kind of barrier.

"Illusory Projection shielding device."

Iax easily identified the scene.

As Transport Aircraft touched the ground, the metal collision made a slight sound, and the actual surrounding situation was also presented in the optical field of view.

This is an artificially constructed concave platform.

The wall of the cylindrical structure is made of a mixture of solid ice and metal and has many huge gear grooves. It is obvious that this is a huge elevator.

"Gala, gala."

Accompanied by the harsh noise caused by the collision of gears, the depth of the lifting platform gradually increased.

The giant Alloy armor plate at the original entrance gradually closed, the sky was blocked, and the cold white light of the lighting device was projected from the top.

After going nearly two hundred meters underground, the platform finally stopped operating.

The surrounding area gradually sank into Silence, and the tail hatch of Transport Aircraft gradually unfolded into a slope.

Iax controlled the machine body and strode out of the cabin.

"Execute PJ0229 Security Protocol."

A voice came from not far away, and then a figure that seemed a little thin and shrouded in a white hooded coat full of fluff slowly appeared in Iax's field of vision.

Although separated by clothes, relying on the composite scanning device, Iax could easily see the various metal interfaces and flashing lights all over the body of the visitor, but it was different from the situation of Adeptus Mechanicus, which became more and more out of human form the more it was transformed.

The guy in front of me retains a standard human shape.

Iax can see clearly that most of these metal interfaces are access ports with additional Bionic Body structures, which have a quick disassembly and assembly design structure. They are obviously different from the implanted Bionic Body devices of Adeptus Mechanicus, and their functions are more similar to those of Black Carapace in Astartes's bodies.

"PJ0229 Security Protocol does not exist. Maybe you want to say BJ0228 Security Protocol, which is a civilian portable device security protocol. Its content is data checking and encrypted storage. This machine is not compatible with civilian protocols and there is no risk of data leakage."

Hearing Machine Body's cold reply, the figure sighed in disappointment.

"Oh, so that's it."

As he spoke, the figure took off the hat on his coat, revealing a native male face without any Implants. He wore a high-precision auxiliary scanning device on his head, and he didn't look very old.

There is a huge difference between this reception and Lucius, but Iax doesn't care about these little things.

"Welcome, ancient Federation technological heritage. I am mechanical Engineer Olot."

Iax nodded silently.

"You can call me Iax."

"Mechanical Engineer, what a familiar name. Tell me why you followed the name created by the ancient Creator?"

Olot nodded, then shrugged.

"We are different from those greedy technology lunatics."

"It can be seen that your Bionic Body transformation method and implant structure are obviously different from those of Tech-Priest's technology. Compared with those crude methods, your technology is derived from Sigriel Commercial Combine."

Olot looked confused.

"Sigriel Commercial Combine? We have lost a lot of records, most of which were lost in the war ten thousand years ago. In view of the difference in value between historical data and technical data, most of the historical data have been lost. By relying on part of the recorded information relayed by our ancestors, we have only retained a limited amount of historical data."

"Sigriel Commercial Combine, the largest supplier of modified limbs in the Human Federation era, a commercial organization that promotes neural link technology and biological neural fusion technology. It owns the ownership of 743 Planets, of which 170 are commercial Planets, and mainly deals in Machine Body components."

"The mechanically modified limbs it provides account for 39.55% of all Federation artificial limbs and organs, accounting for 4.1% of the total revenue of the consortium. Although its technology is quite advanced, most Federation Citizens don't like mechanical Implants. After all, it is better to install a bunch of machines on oneself than to directly order mechanical servants."

"Even if an accident occurs, limb regeneration technology and organ reconstruction technology are enough to deal with any problem. This technology basically serves the interests of a small number of citizens."

For the first time, Iax used his stored data to unveil a little bit of the glorious veil of Federation Era. Compared to Force Weapon, he cared more about the identities of these people.

"Now, tell me why you used the ancient professional title of Creator to introduce yourself."

Looking at the blue electronic eyes on the huge machine body, Olot reached out and scratched his bare head.

"Mechanical Engineer? This is what the inherited education says, there is no reason why."

"How do you recognize those Tech-Priest who are here to maintain Titan?"

Olot pointed at himself.

"There are no technological lunatics here. Everything here is maintained by us, including those large Titan mechas. Their technology is too crude and their thinking is unstable."

Iax gave the other party a strange look.

"We?"
