Macragge----
By then, Macragge had become an enormous war fortress.
The Chaos Fleet hung in low orbit, bombarding the planet's surface with devastating firepower as countless Drop Pods plunged from the sky.
The Ultramarines' fortress-monastery, the Fortress of Hera, had become a priority target for the Black Legion.
Chaos forces attacked the Fortress of Hera from every direction. Although the Ultramarines fought desperately to resist, anyone with strategic insight could see that the Chaos host would reach its walls sooner or later.
Calgar was rather irritated.
He had pulled himself away from the fighting to meet these strange visitors.
The Adeptus Mechanicus, the Black Templars, the Inquisition, and the xenos Aeldari.
Calgar sat upon the throne, blood still staining the Power Fists on his hands.

To the distant thunder of artillery and the roar of aircraft screaming overhead, he began his questions.
"Tell me why you have come, guests. I have little time to waste on receiving visitors."
Archmagos Cawl stepped forward.
"*%&￥, I have come here to fulfill my agreement with the Lord of Ultramar."

"The Gene-Father of the Ultramarines-Roboute Guilliman."
Everyone present was stunned.

Though the Ultramarines had always been known for their rationality, their Gene-Father was the most forbidden of all subjects.
