Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 2 Imperial Frontier:

Imperial Calendar: 997.M41

Solar field. Orion cantilever edge

There are many things under the steel rectangular dome, countless mechanical equipment combinations, cooperating with each other, and countless machine spirits blessed by the Mechanicus working side by side. Under the operation of naval technicians and crew members, this huge ship The behemoth of the void drives and operates.

The cold sun shines on the bridge. On the navy captain's command podium, Captain Cole Quick is holding his hands behind his back. He is looking at the dark universe in the distant void through the giant glass in front of him.

The Empire's double-headed star eagle shines brightly above his head, and the dark blue navy captain's uniform is almost as dark as the universe. Unlike most navy captains, what Captain Cole wears does not symbolize his noble status. A ceremonial sword, but a chainsword and laser pistol.

For most captains, dressing like the Astra Militarum is definitely a shame. Believe me my friend, the navy is very happy and eager to draw a clear line with the Astra Militarum guys, even if they are all for the Empire. war, but this divisive opposition still exists, and has existed for more than a thousand years.

Captain Cole walked to the edge of the command platform. He looked down at his bridge from behind the armrest, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Report, I need to know the preparation status of this giant ship." Captain Cole said in a slightly younger voice. His age is very inconsistent with the average age of his position, but obviously, his subordinates will not be affected by this. Disdained his orders.

"The cobalt element has been replenished smoothly, and the fusion fuel has been injected into the engine. Sir, the mechanical sages reported that the armor layer has been basically repaired, but they suggest that we dock at the port as soon as possible to carry out formal repairs and appease the machine soul there." The commander turned and said, she Looking towards the high platform, he looked up at the master of the entire ship.

Cole raised his head slightly, then raised a hand, and the holographic image was shot out from the flying servo skull. Countless data and icons appeared in front of him, like a complex picture.

But the captain was skilled and quickly adjusted the interface until he found what he wanted to see.

He reviewed the data interface in front of him. He quickly browsed through the confusing rows of data. With the blessing of the Emperor, the void shield has been charged. He has had enough of the feeling of being completely exposed to nothingness, every minute and every second. It all made him feel frightened.

But now, this fear is gone, and the Mars-class battlecruiser is ready again. She will face the enemies of the Emperor in full force.

"Captain, we received a star message." An uncomfortable voice said. To be honest, the voice was almost creepy.

Cole turned to look at the servitor. His whole body was covered with pipes, and the sound came from the mask speaker on his face. It was as cold as a member of the Mechanicus, and a weird vibrating sound as cold as the machine itself.

The servitor stopped quietly a few steps away, like a machine waiting to be awakened. Cole looked at him without thinking too much. He had already passed the stage of thinking about the past of these existences.

"Speak." He gave the order briefly, and the servitor raised his head slightly, and the vibrato echoed from the speaker, "We have received the order from Lord Highgate. The Grand Inquisitor asked us to go to the Victoria System and solve the problem. Local troubles.”

Cole frowned slightly, turned around and looked directly at the soulless body in front of him, "Did the presiding judge give a reason?" "No, sir." "I understand."

After speaking, Cole turned around and looked at the helmsman below, "Set a course to the extreme star field, Victoria Galaxy, activate the subspace engine, and prepare for the entire ship to jump."

"Yes, sir." The helmsman responded, and then began to turn the rudder in front of him, and the huge hull began to rotate accordingly. The captain turned his head and looked to the other side, "Chief Bird, calculate the gravity of the star. , find the Mandeville point of gravity." "Yes, my lord."

Cole said as he pressed the button on the complex console at hand, as if it was part of his body, and accurate communication audio flashed from it.

"Navigator, prepare to enter the subspace and identify the coordinates of the Star Torch, now." "Yes, Captain, I will guide us." The navigator said in a nagging voice.

Cole withdrew his finger. He turned and walked towards the steel arch behind the captain's throne. "Activate the Geller force field shield. May the Emperor protect us."

A light full of energy flashed behind him, and the captain walked into the darkness under the arcade in the light.

He is familiar with this battleship, after all, it is his ship. Although he is not the first captain of this giant ship, he has the confidence and pride to declare that he is the captain who knows her best in her history.

He knew every part of her, every corridor, every boiler, every warehouse and apron, every cannon and light spear array unit. He knew her, every inch of her steel skin was clear.

So Cole never got lost. Even without a map, he could still quickly shuttle through countless corridors and stairs. Now, he knew his path and goal very clearly.

He walked in the huge corridor on the upper side of the ship. It was like a palace. Tall vaults set up a huge sky and earth. Countless statues were arranged on both sides. Countless flags hung down from high places. Symbolizing countless honors and victories.

Cole's military boots were on the white marble floor, and his footsteps echoed in the huge hall. He was the only one here, and there was no one else except the occasional crew members and servitors he could meet.

But soon, this impression was proved wrong. A louder footsteps overwhelmed his voice, and he stopped in front of the tall giant.

The giant also stopped, turned his head and looked down at Cole, and then showed a sincere smile, "Ah, Captain Cole, nice to see you."

Cole stood at attention and saluted, looking up at the giant's resolute face, "Me too, Lord Olaf." "In private situations, just call me Olaf, dear friend."

The Astartes soldier in power armor smiled. His pitch-black armor did not reflect a single ray of light. Only the glorious shoulder armor on his right shoulder, which symbolized the former battle group, reflected an icy cold light from the silver-gray surface.

"You are as tough and cunning as the wolves of Fenris, Captain." Olaf said with a smile, Cole nodded slightly, "My pleasure, Olaf, where are your brothers? I have not seen Lancelot. Lord King and Lord Ragnar."

"Ah, the wolf cub and the lion cub are competing in the training cage. I guess they faced off again because of some bad joke." The old wolf sighed helplessly and shook his head, but then the smile returned to his face, "But no matter what, We are all still brothers, right? So Bell has gone over first, so that they won’t have anyone to deal with the bloodshed.”

"Of course, have you seen the Inquisitor? I have something to tell him." Cole asked. His neck was forced to be raised very high, and it was very uncomfortable. After all, the priest armor was too tall.

Olaf leaned down considerately to make him feel better. He looked at the door at the end of the corridor. It was a huge golden door. It was very similar to Terra's Gate of the End. It was probably a replica. Although Cole has never actually seen the Gate of Ending, and has never been to Terra.

"I think he is there. The Inquisitor likes to stay alone for a while after the battle." "Thank you. Go find your brothers, Olaf. I don't want them to dismantle the training servitors again. The Ordnance Chief has told me seriously. Complained."

The old wolf laughed again and stood up with his tall body, "I will try my best, Captain." "Of course."

They separated, and soon Cole walked to the giant golden door. He looked up at the tall golden door. At the top of the giant door, the golden throne and the radiant Lord of Humanity were there. Under it were countless people. The endless battleships, stars and planet sculptures are like the master of all things in the universe, towering over the endless bright stars.

Cole cleared his throat and looked at the servitor embedded in the wall next to the door. "Open the door." He ordered briefly. The servitor raised his head and stared at him, followed by a burst of mechanical rumbles. The hydraulic structure and the mechanical transmission system worked at the same time, and the golden door was slowly opened amidst the low roar of the machine spirit.

Cole walked in when the door opened the first gap that allowed a person to pass through. He had no patience to wait for the giant door to open slowly and ceremonially. Every Sunday, he would meet with the crew outside. It annoyed him to death while they waited for the door to open.

Cole strode into the majestic church. This is the top floor of the entire battleship. When you look up, you will see the entire Milky Way. Countless bright stars are shining above your head. It is the most gorgeous place in the world. The murals are the most spectacular masterpieces.

Every time Cole looked at the stars, he would tremble with excitement. He longed to conquer and explore those stars, just like the great man from his home planet Macarius, who extended the great will of humanity and the Emperor to the farthest frontier. .

In a sense, he did do it. After all, he is not officially a naval captain under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Navy. He has great navigation autonomy and can explore those stars. Well, not entirely, after all. It also depends on whether this bastard is happy or not.

Cole stopped by the bench and looked down at the man sitting in the first row, reading a book in front of the great emperor's icon. He lowered his head and looked at the old book in his hand with interest. The chainsword and bolt pistol hung from his waist, waiting for the next roar and roar.

"Judge Vito, we are in trouble." Cole said. Vito raised his head and glanced at him, then stopped flipping the pages of the book, "Have we encountered the Orc Ancient Giant Fleet again?" "Thank you Emperor. Emperor, no, I don’t plan to attack the orc fleet with a single ship. Vito, do you know how much damage those bastards have caused to my ship?”

"Okay, Cole, didn't we win? Besides, if we hadn't killed the green pirate boss, the Armageddon fleet would have been doomed."

Vito said with a smile, and then pointed to the book on his lap, "This book is quite interesting, you should take the time to read it."

Cole sighed, then looked at the crimson-covered book, "What's it about? You know I'm only interested in star maps and sailing adventure books." "Yes, I know my friend, believe me, this book Does the book have anything you like?”

"Who wrote it? Maybe I know the name." "Well, I doubt it. His name is Karel Hindman, an ancient man from a long time ago, very, very long ago about the Expedition Fleet No. 63 during the Great Expedition. "

"The Great Expedition? I don't remember the existence of the 63rd Expedition Fleet." "Normal."

Vito said, closing the book, leaning back in his chair and looking at the Emperor's Icon, "So what's the trouble?"

Cole stood beside him with his hands behind his back, looking at the shining golden icon of the emperor. "Mr. Highgate sent us an astrological message, saying that the Victoria Galaxy needs us. He didn't say any specific reasons. He just said Probably where you can find something that interests you.”

"A bad mission." Cole sighed, and Vito laughed, stood up and patted Cole on the shoulder, "Okay, Cole, I guess you have already set the course, right?" "Nonsense. ”

Vito smiled silently, and then passed by Cole. The latter turned his head and looked at Vito who was walking towards the door and shouted, "Go to the training ground and keep an eye on those big guys! Don't let them steal my equipment." broken!"

"I'll do my best, Captain." Vito's voice came from the far end and gradually disappeared from the end of the field of vision.

Cole sighed helplessly, then looked at the Emperor's icon, "The Emperor's blessing."
