It was sothing that Arcturus didn't really know, but according to the information that he passed to the Grandmaster Byrllir, there was a slight possibility that the Greenskins would cooperate with the Mind Flayers.
While the possibility for such cooperation was low, it still existed and represented the danger for the entire Frontier Star Segnt because together, they would be much harder foes to deal with.
The Imperium wouldn't have to deal with just the Mind Flayers and their advanced and esoteric technology but also with the sheer number of the Greenskins that would be coming at them in hooves.
If the Greenskins and Mind Flayers joined and coordinated their attacks together, it would spell a literal catastrophe for the entire Frontier Star Segnt because both sides would perfectly complent each other.
Orks would provide the overwhelming numbers that the Mind Flayers severely lacked, while the Mind Flayers would provide so really nasty pieces of advanced technology that the Orks lacked, on the other hand.
Grandmaster Arsit predicted that this was either so kind of agreent between the Orks and Mind Flayers or another possibility, which was that the Greenskins noticed that the Mind Flayers would be attacking the Frontier Star Segnt and decided to join on their own.
Either way, it was highly problematic because the Imperial Forces in the Frontier Star Segnt were only prepared for the Mind Flayers, not for the Greenskins. Fortunately enough, they still had so ti before the assud enemies would arrive, and they could still call for reinforcents.
The Imperium was also eager to get their hands on the Mind Flayer technology because while the Mind Flayers were in no way unified even as a species, their technology was considered to be one of the most advanced in the Known Universe.
So of their Mind Fleets had obscure and exotic technology that was already bordering the technology the limits of the Type 3 Civilizations and even the factions as strong as the Eternal Imperium of Asurya would pay anything to get their hands on such things.

Almost imdiately after Grandmaster Arsit Byrllir finished his discussion with his potential protegé, he called Bashar-General Varathar des for the eting to tell him the information that Arcturus obtained.
The situation was serious enough even without the Greenskins in the equation, but with the green nace on the board, the situation beca quite severe. Obviously, even Bashar-General Varathar des didn't dare to ignore the urgent call from Grandmaster Byrllir and very soon arrived at his dojo.
"What is so urgent that you decided to call this urgently for the eting?"
As far as the Bashar-General Varathar des knew, the old grandmaster would never really bother himself with anything aside from his own martial training. Even though he established the dojo in the Starfort Lycurgos for several decades, he never really intervened in anything.
"I obtained information that there is a very high possibility of the Greenskin incursion into the Imperial Space.
My soon-to-be student encountered Orkish Space Hulk within the Imperial Space and managed to extract so interesting information from there; all of them indicated that the Greenskins were either going to cooperate with the Mind Flayers or they would be joining during the ti when the Mind Flayers are invading our space."
As he explained that, he passed the information data bank to the Bashar-General Varathar des who quickly scanned the information through his nanomachines within his templates.
The more he scanned and saw, the grimr his expression beca because he understood the connotation and was able to read between the lines. Even before he saw this data bank, he already received reports about the weird movents of the Greenskins, who were circling around these regions of the Imperial Space.
"As I feared... a few days ago, I already received reports about Orkish pirates that were comncing incursions into the Frontier Star Segnt, but they always disappeared faster than we could capture their ships or they destroyed everything so we couldn't get hands on this kind of information."
Bashar-General Varathar des knew that the Orks in this concrete group were led by a very smart and intelligent Ork Boss.
Orks with brains are typically very dangerous; the biggest reason why they never beca true players on the universal scale was due to their lower intelligence and affinity for violence and destruction.
They didn't really know how to build things and create sothing; they rather tended to destroy everything in their path and just wage war. But, from ti to ti, Ork with actual brains and strategic vision appeared among their kin, and that was the ti when everything normally went to shit.
Such Warbosse usually created the most powerful and even long-lasting Ork Empires that stretched through thousands upon thousands of Star Systems and sotis brought to heel so of the most powerful factions in the Known Universe.
"So, is there a possibility of these two blights working together?"
Grandmaster Arsit Byrllir asked curiously as he raised his brow, though he really doubted that the ever-arrogant Mind Flayers would work with the Greenskins. It was not like the Orks were any better, as they looked down on anyone who was using Psionics because, for them, it was against their concept of honor.
Sorcery or Witchcraft, they called it.
"Small... the most probable scenario is that both sides are just using each other and won't hesitate to stab the other one in the back the mont the situation degrades enough. Still, there is a small chance that they are genuinely working together, which would be the most problematic scenario, or the Orks are just going to wreak havoc during the Mind Flayer invasion...
either way, the situation is not looking good."
Either way, they would need to call for reinforcents.
That one was for sure.
"Either way this is, I will send a formal request for the reinforcents; the addition of the Orks into the equation is changing the odds. The overwhelming number of the greenskins is always a hassle to deal with."
