Ardo and Esahc took first watch that night as the lobotomized servitors of the mining teams did their work, completely oblivious to the Marines' presence. Ardo watched as they tore open the soil beneath them and sent it flying away for dozens of meters. It pained him to see such beautiful land be destroyed, but he knew it was for the good of the Imperium.
"Ardo, what was it that disturbed you so earlier today?"
Ardo shook his head and replied, "Absolutely nothing, Esahc. I just missed my footing and nearly fell."
"Ardo, I have known you for twenty years. You are also a horrible liar. What is wrong, Brother?"
Ardo sighed and confessed to Esahc. He told him about the Necrons and their ultimate demise. Esahc looked at him thoughtfully for several minutes before speaking.
"Do you trust in these visions, Brother? If they are correct, then we must warn everyone. If the Necrons were released, it could be a disaster for everyone here."
Ardo shook his head and replied, "But what if I am wrong? What if it is nothing more than a waking dream? No, I will wait until I am sure that the vision is true."
"As you wish Brother. You are most likely right, though. I am sure it is nothing."
oooo
"The Humans have already begun to dig beneath the planets surface. They will awaken the sleeping death soon. Would you like us to kill them now, Farseer?"
Farseer Lanolithos Istumure quickly looked into one of the many possible futures, picking one that had the deaths of all the humans. He watched it for scant milliseconds before he opened his eyes and answered, "No, leave them be. Perhaps they will destroy some of the abominations. Have your Rangers pull back to our outpost. The humans must not know of our presence, and they must not know what they are to unleash. Everything must go perfectly, or we will all die.
