"In the ruthless universe of the far future there is only war."
That is something that Kanan Scott knew very well. After two hundred years or more, as he never counted, he thought that his death would give him the opportunity for eternal rest in the...
Tomoe: - Is something wrong, Captain Catus? His eyes on me turn out to be very uncomfortable. -
Catus: - Excuse me, Primarch Tomoe. But I still can't understand how you are bigger than my father. He believed that the primarchs were of similar height. - He asked curiously while walking next to Tomoe and Takeko.
Takeko: - That's completely natural. It is normal that, due to multiple biological processes, the female gender of most species develops before the male gender. -
Catus: - Can I know what he's talking about? How to develop it first? Not that Father or Primarch Tomoe were teenagers. -
Catus couldn't help but laugh at such an absurd comment. It seems that Takeko believed that powerful primarchs were nothing more than young people who had not yet fully developed. But the seriousness on the faces of the primarch and her assistant along with their silence made a certain chill run through her body.
Catus: - Is this a joke? TRUE? -
Takeko: - There are natural processes that not even the warp itself can alter. Even though... "someone almighty" would like to change it.
Catus: - You can't be serious. -
Tomoe: - Tell me, Captain Catus. - He said suddenly, cutting off the conversation. -Do the Ultramarines still have their gene-seed activation ritual intact? -
Catus: - The founding chapter yes. The rest of the successor chapters have developed their own rites of passage. -
Takeko: - Some quite... ridiculous, in my humble opinion. How is the case of the Eagles of Doom. -
Catus: - Let's not talk about that. -
Tomoe: - Is it that bad? -
Takeko: - It's stupid. In many ways. -
Catus: - The initiation rites are a test of our faith and our conviction. Each chapter demonstrates its conviction in different ways, and the rest have no right to comment on the matter. -
Takeko: - It's still absurd to kill your recruits just for that. -
Catus: - Could you stop accusing my brothers for a minute? -
Tome: - Takeko. It's sufficient. -
Takeko: - Yes, my lady. -
Tomoe: - Don't take it personally, captain. I was just asking to satisfy my curiosity... And to see if you were ready to see ours. -
Catus: - Yours? - He asked clearly surprised. - Initiation rites are supposed to be sacred. Something exclusive to chapter members. -
Tomoe: - That's true. But now that she is part of the 2nd Legion, perhaps she should know what we sacrifice. -
Those words were undoubtedly somewhat confusing for the Astarte. The three of them walked through one of the long corridors of the underground facilities of the world where Tomoe slept for twenty-five millennia, as it was a very important moment. The initiation rite of the first human to join the 2nd legion.
Catus followed Tomoe and Takeko to a rather peculiar room. It was a circular-shaped enclosure, with tall columns that reached twelve meters high, culminating in beautiful metal arches of oriental imitation. The floor was carved on a black granite surface, where a type of drainage was located right in the center, safe to clean the place after the disaster. And in the middle, kneeling on the hard ground and with a Tantō right in front, was a woman.
