Chapter 6: Departure and Arrival
Not being able to see his adoptive father Charles, Tai Yue couldn't help but feel a little depressed. There were more than a million imperial worlds in the vast galaxy, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to meet his adoptive father again.
Tai Yue could only return to the Nachmond Corridor now. His adoptive father left without leaving any information about why he left or where he was going.
"With the blessing of the God Emperor, Sir Charles may return to Marsdan. Once there is news of his return, I will notify you in time."
Mansha comforted her that Lord Charles probably left because of something urgent, otherwise he would have arranged for the children in the orphanage in advance, instead of just sending a message asking Mansha, as the planetary governor, to help take care of the children in the orphanage.
"Mantha, I want you to come with me out of here. I need your power to deal with the threat of the Genestealer Cults across the Empire."
At this time, Taiyue sincerely explained his purpose of coming, but he did not want to force Mansha. If she went, she would not only face the censure of the Inquisition, but also face the dangers brought by the Tyranids and gene stealers.
"Are you leaving now?"
Mansha was stunned and asked. She did not refuse Taiyue's invitation, but as the planetary governor of Marsdan, she needed to spend time handing over the management of the industrial world.
"Depart in three days and head to the Tyranids research base in the Nachmund sub-sector."
"I understand. I will return to the Governor's Mansion now and prepare to salute."
Mansha nodded and stood up to leave.
"I will protect your safety, and I will send you back after the research is completed, in the name of the Emperor and adoptive father!"
Taiyue finally promised that he would not succumb to the pressure of the Inquisition or the Mechanicum and use Mansha as a tragic experiment, but would instead allow her to participate in relevant research as a guest of Lord Nachmund.
Mansha stayed where she was, then left the living room with a smile.
Tai Yue then left the living room. He went to the cabin where Phyllis was and told Phyllis that his adoptive father had left Marsdan.
After Phyllis heard the news that her adoptive father had left, she felt a sense of disappointment and couldn't help but lament the impermanence of life.
When she left Marsdan for the Bishop's World, she thought she would never see Brother Tai again. As a result, after becoming a medical nun, she almost stayed on the battleship where he was. But this time she thought she would finally be able to see her adoptive father, but she Only sadness and disappointment remain.
On the other side, after Mansha returned to the Governor's Mansion from the Uruk, she immediately summoned the technical priest Vitalier, the state priest Margarita, and the legal department Chris.
After the destruction of the Genestealer sect 'Beacon of Doom', Marsdan's political structure changed.
After the Mechanicus obtained the STC template fragments of the Gravity Hammer, they established a defensive space station here, which was managed by Tech-Priest Vitalier.
The church militia recognized by the Empire's State Church became Marsdan's main armed force, and the State Church sent Margarita to manage this force.
After the Ministry of Justice received support from the Adeptus Mechanicus, they rebuilt the fortress court. Colin of the Ministry of Justice only liked catching criminals and did not manage the specific affairs of the Ministry of Justice. Justice Chris became the actual manager of the Ministry of Justice.
When the three people arrived at the conference hall in the palace, Mansha was sitting at the desk checking Marsdan's export trade information. There were piles of documents on the desk, and there were multiple servitors on both sides sending them. The latest government decree.
"Bless the God Emperor, is there something wrong with Master Mansha leaving in such a hurry?"
Margarita, the last arrived Anglican priest, asked with concern.
"This is a confidential mission from Lord Theastartes. During my absence, please help me keep an eye on Charles and his orphanage in the hive."
After Mansha finished speaking, the long and boring work handover began.
She finally handed over the mechanical scepter, which represented the authority of the Planetary Governor, to the three of them. From now on, Marsdan's affairs, large and small, would be decided jointly by the three of them.
After completing all this, Mansha left the conference hall and went to the palace to pack her luggage.
After the machine servant April saw her master arriving, she slowly opened the three-story wardrobe. There were luxurious dresses, colorful embroidered cloaks, corsages decorated with diamonds, and hair accessories hanging with gold threads. One was revealed.
"April, I won't bring these clothes with me!"
Mansha sighed and closed the cabinet door, then asked the servitor April to bring some thin tight armor and light purple underwear.
And she went to the library opposite the closet, came to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a small plasma pistol.
After Mansha changed into the white tight-fitting armor and strapped the plasma pistol to her waist, the servitor April also packed her suitcase.
"Your Majesty the God Emperor, this is my second trip to a distant world, but this time I do it voluntarily."
Mansha said to herself, she took April and left here without looking back, and boarded the Uruk strike cruiser.
The Uruk's plasma engine glowed blue, and it sailed away from the port, heading towards Mandeville Point on the outskirts of the galaxy.
During the regular voyage, clerical nun Yin Sha took Mansha to visit various facilities of the Uruk. The latter gradually adapted to life on the battleship and gained a new understanding of Thailand and Vietnam's current identity.
Not long after the Uruk entered the subspace, astropath Su Jingrong received an astrological message from the Darova system, and she immediately went to the bridge.
Tai Yue, who was on the bridge, was still looking up the Tyranid information provided by the Strategic Intelligence Department. This information was only open to the High Lords of Terra, because after the Tyranids posed a threat again in the southern part of the Taiping star field, they were gradually opened to the relevant imperial forces.
Su Jingrong came to Tai Yue and immediately reported the situation:
"Inquisitor Kriptman has arrived at the Darova Tyranid Research Base, and with him came the Killing Squad of the Death Watch Regiment, who came to take over the newly built Watch Fortress in the synchronous orbit of the planet Darova."
After learning that Inquisitor Kriptman had arrived ahead of schedule, Tai Yue immediately asked the navigator to speed up the navigation.
After more than ten days of subspace navigation, the Uruk finally arrived at the Darova system.
After the Uruk stopped at the port of the research base, Tai Yue went straight to the conference room.
Tai Yue scanned the venue and found unknown faces here, the short and fat Inquisitor, the Mechanicus Sage in red robes, and the Astartes in black power armor.
"The Inquisitor in red power armor is Kriptman, and next to him is the biological sage Erlang of the Varnak Circle Cult and the captain of the Death Watch, Harkins."
Della introduced them to Tai Yue one by one. She had met these people in advance.
