Chapter 57 Signal Tower

In the corridor behind, crackling electric sparks flickered on the cut off energy supply route, and various warning and defense equipment that had been paralyzed were being restarted with the pumping of spare energy. The red light representing emergency filled the field of vision, and various alarms echoed deafeningly inside the star base...

All of these are like a wall that is getting closer and closer, urging the children of change to step into the closed gate made of metal in front of them.

Several Astartes stuck their bodies in the shadow by the wall, looked at each other blankly, and cast their blank eyes on their companion who just failed to cast a spell.

"The backup energy system of the Seeker Base will fully restart in 15 minutes, and we don't have much time."

A Son of Change warrior who was obviously of a higher status said, taking off his helmet, revealing a pale and thin terrifying face like a skeleton, with long black hair hanging around the joint between the helmet and the power armor.

He looked around: "Who will be the striker?"

This terrifying skeleton-like Astarte obviously possessed lofty prestige and a fierce reputation among the Sons of Change. All the members of the Son of Change who were swept by his sight were silent, but none of them could muster up the courage to take a step forward.

Today's sons of change are at a loss. It is the loss of a fish that has lived in the water for a lifetime and is faced with a dry air and a world without buoyancy after being salvaged ashore.

They have long been used to planning everything before taking action, grasping all the information, and only taking action after they have absolute certainty.And after losing the mighty power of the subspace, facing the complete unknown, they... flinched.

"You insects and rats are doomed to become slaves of the Lord of Change, and you will never want to be blessed children in your life." The terrifying Astartes who looked like skeletons cursed in a low voice.

He was almost looking down at the rest of the team, and the swearing seemed condescending.It seems that not only his status, but also his height is higher than other Astartes.

This Astarte, who was called the "Unchanging Priest" by other Chaos forces, had a poisonous mouth, but even at this time, he had no intention of abandoning his brothers in the war gang and running away by himself.

He first tried to get in touch with the previous inmates and asked about the abnormal situation here, but he didn't get any response.

"damn it……"

The Immutable Priest's eyes became more sinister and vicious. His gaze turned around and finally returned to his own hands. There were two long curved horns growing on the removed helmet.

The red glow in the corridor behind him became deeper and deeper, the siren sounded one after another, and the clicking sound of large machinery running through the cavity of the pipe, it seemed that something was approaching, making the atmosphere here even more depressing.

"The energy system and defense system of the star base will be fully restored soon." The Immutable Priest snapped the helmet back on his head, pinching off a few long black curly hairs: "Do you want to sit here and wait for death, or give it a go?"

The answer to this question is obvious.As soon as the words fell, the organization of the Son of Change quickly spread out.

In this attack, they dispatched 5 teams of 9 people, a total of 45 people, and the central control room of the Star Base of the Seeker has 8 entrances and exits.

Dividing forces in multiples of 8 bodes ill for the Sons of Change, but they have no choice.

The Sons of Ever-changing who have obtained the structure map of the seeker understand better than anyone else how terrifying and lethal weapons are equipped on this large star base.Now, only by capturing the main control room before the defense system is restarted, can they win a chance for themselves.

Fortunately, the body mutation of the Sons of Change is not very high. Even if the best Tzeentch sorcery is blocked, they are still powerful Astartes.

This group of mages who like to chant spells every day picked up hammer-shaped staffs and firearms, and divided them into seven groups of five at a very fast speed, and each group was responsible for one of the entrances.The strongest Unchanging Priest brought all the remaining troops to launch the main attack on the gate.

Priest Chang had a premonition that the actions of himself and others might no longer be secretive.

Soon, the samples provided by Nei Ying unlocked the genetic identification lock that locked the door of the main control room. The Immutable Priest focused his vision on the crack of the door in advance when the door was automatically opened, and his brain nerves were highly tense.The feeling of being disconnected from the subspace became more and more real.

When the door was fully opened, what appeared in front of them was a strange scene.

The central control room is located at the top of the Seeker, not the absolute axis.According to the structural drawings they obtained, the top of the master control room of the Seeker should be sealed with a steel dome supported by eight keels, equipped with a full set of void shield generators as protection.

Not now.

The steel dome in the structural diagram disappeared somewhere. Instead, on the top of the main control room was a three-legged tower that seemed to be used to transmit and amplify some kind of signal.

When did the Seeker remove the steel dome and replace it with a signal tower?

Through the gap in the tower, they can directly see the yellow-white stars above their heads. A large number of wires hang down from the three feet of the tower, some of which are connected to the energy transmission pipeline in the main control room, and some are scattered outside.Many technicians wearing pure white fully enclosed work clothes are walking back and forth in the main control room, holding special equipment to find suitable connection positions for more wires.

This three-legged signal tower is obviously not a product of human technology. There are various obscure lines of unknown meaning all over the tower. It is definitely not any kind of human writing they know, and even the alien writing is difficult to find an approximation.

From the overall structure to the microscopic structure of the signal tower itself, there is no style of Mechanic Order at all. Even if the wires hanging from above want to be connected to the energy supply line of the Seeker Star Base, those wearing white clothes need to use a special adapter as a connecting bridge.

There is no doubt that this is a huge artifact of alien technology.Those in white are attaching such a big thing to the Seeker.

Even the white-clothed technicians themselves are a doubt—why are there technicians other than the Mechanicus performing engineering operations on Falla's star base?

Seeing such a busy construction scene, Priest Chang felt even more at a loss; he thought that as soon as the door opened, he would be greeted by an ambush or firepower that had been prepared for him... but he only saw the construction site of a group of technicians.

But suddenly, the slightly relaxed nerves of the Immutable God Priest tensed up again.Because the feeling of being disconnected from the subspace is getting stronger.

He looked up at the three-legged tower above his head. As far as he knew, there were some alien creations that could suppress the influence of subspace and anchor the real universe.

Is this why the Empire connected this artifact of alien technology to the Seeker?

However, after so many investigations and infiltrations, calculations and divinations before, there is no sign that the empire has such an alien creation in its hands.

 It has been sunny these two days, and my mind is dizzy. There may be many typos and grammar problems in the coded words. If you find troublesome reminders... the starting point has a reader error correction function, and I will correct it when I make up tomorrow.
