Much later, my Rose stretched like a lazy cat and patted my upgraded chest with satisfaction.
"This is much better, love. Great body, decent mind, mostly acceptable decisions. I might keep you just for the body though." she comnted in a light tone.
I sighed and drew her into a hug. "There is a Forge World called Venatoria, and they produced a device called a . And a derelict ship with STC schematics too. I forgot about them and they keep complaining." I asked with a bit of trepidation.
It had been pretty close. Plus that Forge will be attacked by other Necrons soon. Better prepare the ground.
"Alright! Trade finished and no taking back!" the Necron exclaid in a happier voice.
"Good. Now, I have another story if you're interested." I whispered as another dataslate vanished from my hands and into his own.
"Oh? Gellar fields? From weak, to creepy, to dium. What are these for?" Trazyn asked confused.
"A thousand year ago, a group of chanicus tech-priests from Forge Venatoria tried to close the Eye of Terror, with a Reality Cage device. After they failed tragically, they tried again, on the Maelstrom, using reality bombs. They never found the bodies, or the devices. However, soone with patience and skill..." I continued in an enticing tone.
"Those idiots in the chanicus! Without Living Rock and Compressed Blackstone...no wonder they failed so abjectly. What did they use to power it, a plasma reactor?" the scientist Necron erupted in disgust.
"Well...I don't have such grand dreams. Not yet, and not without your help, Lord Trazyn. Even you failed last ti...I an in the other future where we all die horribly, and the larger Tyranid swarms not yet devoured run away in fear. Damn stupid Orks!"
I muttered in fake anger.
I bet nobody expected the Orks to devour everything, except perhaps the Old Ones that created them.
"Orks? I an to tell the Orks win?" Trazyn asked in outrage. I know buddy.
"Not these Orks, of course. But their Waagh field contains all the knowledge and inventions of the Old Ones. They just need sufficient numbers. A trillion planets infested with greenskins, and they are the new reality. And for that, they just need a powerful enemy to offer a 'gud fight'. Chaos or Tyranids, even Necrons...all swept away by unstoppable tides of Titan sized Orks that sprout a thousand more if you kill one. Cute revenge, right?" I asked in fake humor.
"And these Reality Cages will contain the Waagh field, just like Warp incursions. Damn it! I hate travelling!" the Necron grumbled in annoyance.
"I know the Necrons have sothing similar, but it would be too hard to make, by my allies. Alas, I'm off to find more nice stuff, in the Halo Stars. Don't call , I'll call you." I said with faint amusent and closed the call.
Rose stared at and then turned towards a moving wall, right in front of us.
Strangely, the alien C'tan looked almost human, if much larger.
