"[SCANNING NORTH]... [NO SYSTEMS DETECTED WITHIN // 10 LIGHT YEARS]" Said the automaton embedded within the console inside the command centre of the Red Tear. "[SCANNING EAST]... [NO SYSTEMS DETECTED WITHIN // 10 LIGHT YEARS]" Repeated the automaton. "[SCANNING SOUTH]... [2 SYSTEMS DETECTED WITHIN // 10 LIGHT YEARS] Sanguinius and his 10 sons, who each led a company, perked up upon hearing the automaton's words, their armour plates clanked against each other as they leaned over the grand holotable, they spoke words of interest to one another before quickly quieting down in order to hear the automaton's verdict of the west. "[SCANNING WEST]... [2 SYSTEMS DETECTED WITHIN // 10 LIGHT YEARS] Knowing that Aurora was already towards its west, they now know of the existence of yet another system westward of Baal. They named these systems accordingly, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

"A crowded galaxy, my sons." Sanguinius murmured loud enough to be heard by all of his sons. "It can be assumed that there is other life there." "Such as the Raven Guard?" said 1st Captain Karlaen, spoken with a soft but firm demeanor. Sanguinius hesitated for a second before responding : "Possibly, we have no true way of knowing exactly where they are." Another short period of silence and thought sprung up before Captain of the 5th Company, Dante, spoke up. "Perhaps that means we must take it upon ourselves to locate these systems." "Perhaps it might." responded Sanguinius, followed by the slow, resolute nods of the other Captains. "Why am I such a goated writer?" @Bing8224 said to himself
