After Alex manged to get Information From a Disabled Miner, that he had a Accident during the Second Exploration of Mars for resources and was Injured and Found out there were Canyons that Affected the Electronics of the satellites, and despite the terraforming measures there is still Electronic Interference above this Spots till this date hence the colonization was only very Few compared to other Planets..., Now Alex Found a Place to build, and a reasons to go to the Blackout Spots and after the Election Was Assured, He Started to get ready for the Trip, until he was stopped by his Twins, 2 Year old siblings as they Accompanied by His Mother... As They Waddle towards him as they look at Beady Little eyes...
"Marcus, Charlotte, your Big Brother is going to be a Bit Busy, I will bring you something to play with As I come back..." As he is patting on their heads as his mother who Accompanied them away...
*Sigh*
He would love to spend time with them, Now time is running out...
As he reached the nearest Blackout Spot, It was suitable for Long term Duration... And a Buildup at least...As much as he would love to trust the old Miner...
"Is it Possible that the Observation outpost Will be able to Camouflage the Base?"
"Make it a Gap Listening Outpost near the Field Command.."
A Visual Map was Opened that Show the Canyon
As Alex Located the Center of the Canyon
A Building appears and it was Carried By 6 Retro Engines as It lands Precisely where he pointed... Now Where the Cogboys?
Mars 31k? Catacombs
*Panting*
I must Hurry, I will not let my Warning die with me, all I need to Warn My Loyalist Brethren and Terra Before it's too late..., a Hooded Figure Gasping For Air, Desperately Running From Something or Someone..., despite how it is fully Mechanized as a Near Cyborg, it still Retains Part of flesh...
I must Reach to a Communication Room and Warn Terra and and My Brethren before that fool of a Fabricator General Starts His Rebellion Before Terra Labeled all of us as Casting Lot with Horus...
There The Only Limited amount of time where my Hunters will Not Find me... And Shoot me on site..., It Stopped and Hid in a Service Room as Two Hooded Figures Similar to it as the only difference they were Armed and were pursuing somebody... Stood by the Door
"Lambda 8-Phux, Where is the Traitor!" As the Vox Screeches out In their Connected InterComs,
"Fabricator General, I see no sign of the Traitor..." As One Spoke
"Lambda 8-Phux, The Traitor Must not Inform Terra and the Loyalist of what we are doing, And Our Allegiance to Horus and His deal, Find him before He Reaches to Any of the Communication Room..."
"Affirmative, Lambda 8-Phux out.. Move on..He Can't Get Far" As the Two Moved on, in search of the Target
Kosch Corteukael Heave in Sigh of Relief as The Pursuers Left the Room not opened...
Need a Plan.. They are Closing in and Sooner or later they Will find me,
As he Got Out
And After he calmed down, he Looked around he found that it was the Entrance of a Castellan Maintenance Bay, Beyond that is A Emergency Communication Room with a armoured door, He found 4 Fully Armed Castellan awaiting Further Orders... He Was Running out of Time... He Chanted the Holy Ignition, And Ordered them to Kill anyone that is Holding a weapon that entered this place...
As he reached the Communication Room Gunfire ensures behind him...
He Closed the Armored Doors and Hurriedly
Reached the Panels and Managed to Warned Terra and the Treachery Of the Fabricator General to his Loyalist Admech Brethren...
After he is Done, the Doors is Breached and
Two Traitorous Skiitari Entered the Breach one was Gunned Down by a Volkite Blaster while Other held up by a Servo Arm and Snapped the Head, After the Body went Limp, He Tossed the Body Aside, Through the Window he looked, Parts of Mars went Up in Flames and Titans In Repair Bays were Awakened to Butcher One Another in the Distance and Ships in the Skies of Mars was Burning with Ship Debris, As he looked Below the Window, Volkite Blast , LasPistols, Phospor Weapons, Plasma Guns and all sort of Weapons wielded by the Mechanicum were Fired all over the Place By Loyalist and Traitor Alike...
He mocked himself after realizing that he was unaware that Half of his Admech actually Sided with the Traitor...
As He Walked Back from the Window grieving of his world fate, He was Shot By a Volkite Round causing him to fell to the Ground, And As he Looked Up to the Traitorous Skiitari Aiming his Volkite Rifle at him, He chuckled as One More Traitor Soul Wouldn't Hurt to Pay the Fee for the Omnissiah...
He Lunged Forwards the Skiitari and Used His Last Round of the Volkite Blaster into the Skull of the Skiitari blasted the Traitor, He picked up the Volkite Rifle and Shot the Traitor Skiitari one after another, Until He ran out, A Grenade Was tossed near him, and the only thing he saw was Darkness
....I Am Dead?
As I Opened My eyes and Saw The Sacred One and Zeroes Flurry Around me and a Entity Whom I Assume is the Omnissiah Approach Me, Though I have the urge Worship it, I stopped myself and I only requested if my Warning Meant Something... It told me Yes and I saved Mars, Though I wasn't alive to see it, The Terra Retribution Fleet Didn't commence the Exterminatus and aided the Loyalist to take Back Mars, To much to my relief, I am glad despite my death it meant something, I am glad that it is worth something... I was Led to a Room and Saw all the Technology from the Past, Present and Beyond, Some were STC, others were Human made, but more Ancient than What we wield On Mars, It Told Me I had a Mission, I was told to Assist a Baseline Human on a Mars that is different from my own, A different Mars?
Impossible... Then He shown me Alternate Realities... Horrible ones and good ones... Where I didn't let out the message in time, and Horus and the Traitor Fabricator General is On a Smouldering Ashes on Terra, I Survived and was Made a Fabricator General after I slain the Traitor...
After Showing me the Consequences, I Agreed as Much, as I could deny the Future, it was not set in stone?
It Told me to Meet a Baseline Human called Alexander Solair and In that Version of Mars there was No Mechanicum... Baffled Of no Such Organization Exist, It Told me that I Could be the First TechPriests to Exist there... And Only if Assisting This Baseline will I could be a New Fabricator General of a Virgin Mars, Though the Work May be Hard, The rewards are Great...
It showed me a Door...
As I stepped out, fully healed from my wounds, And Saw Mars again but this time Different... I Detected Atmospheric Layer in Mars? Was that Entity was right? For Stories long ago that Mars Was Now a Barren Wasteland, now it can be life sustainable?
As I saw a Baseline Boy and Infront of him is a Structure that was Introduced to me by the Entity as a data package to Built, Maintain and Produce..
*Binary Noises*
It drives a hard Bargain...
He Approached The Baseline from Behind and spoke.
"It would seem that you require my services"
_____________________________________________
"It would seem that you require my services"
As Alexander Heard that Iconic Voice, And Smiled Spoke, "Welcome TechPriest, I hope that You can assist me of making this Base..
"Hmm it would be wise that you will recruit more TechPriests to Finish the Job, After I am Done with this...Field Command and Listening Outpost.."
"I will Recruit Twenty For the Job, So rest assured I will not Work my Men to the Bone, Or Mechandendrites" As Alexander Assured to his Very First TechPriest...
Turns Out It Only Take 1 Hours to Complete the freebie, So much for it being Free...
the Field Command is Larger than it looks from off screen, Make you wonder how many People can fit inside that thing, I recall Some Fool actually Fit six 90 Men Squads into the building and they still come out alive, There are Three Floors, the Top is the Bunker Portions of the Field Command, Filled with Static Emplacements that just need someone to man it and a Radar Tower to scan, In the Ground Floor is where the Living Quarters of the Soldiers and Mess hall for the soldiers and the Armory, At Below Ground there is Hydroponics farm, A Workshop, and Oxygen Generator and a Recruitment Portal...
I looked the The Recruitment Page

5 hours later
21 TechPriests Stood in Formation
"TechPriests, I am Aware that you are not on the Mars you once knew, But this is a New Fresh start for the Mechanicum, a fresh beginning from the Traitors that burn it down..
And This is a New Mars in a Galaxy far from you, and do we wish to see it burn down? Once more in a traitorous light? I know aware there are no rules for the TechPriests in here, My Rule is that you Don't Harm Mankind with your Inventions, in this place there are no Men of iron nor a Silica Animus entities, Nor the Stuffy Procedures that you can do this or Not that and Hiding tech that lies in dust.., You are free to pursue whatever you research when you have free time, but know this, I am aware there are STC in this Universe and while I request your assistance for building this Base, I will need your Desire for Knowledge to Combat the Xenos in this Universe... And help me liberate this Artifacts as we Journey the stars once more..."
As the Crowd went silent and Only Binaries was heard among them
One stood out
"Is it true that there are STC?"
"I have Blueprints from the Dark Age of Technology" As Alex Handed the Blueprints to them and the TechPriests Swarmed the Blueprints and Looked at it and Question about it..
"Interesting... You Speak of No lies and We Will be in your Service " As Kosch Corteukael Spoke as a Representative of the TechPriests..
They Managed to Build 4 Infantry Command, 4 Mechanized Command, A Tactica Center, 1 Air Command tower and 30 Plasma Generators and 12 Punisher Turrets and 4 Plasma Turrets and 7 Listening Outposts that managed to Cover the Base Entirely and 6 Hydroponics Tower that Blueprint is fully Translated by the TechPriests and not by Alex standards of the Hydroponics in the Orphanage Cave
Hydroponics Towers
cost: 105 Req and 70Pow
Effect:
-Rapid plant growth regardless of Terrain and weather
-Reduce Infantry Cost By 10% (only Single tower is capable of that effect)
(An: Come to think of it, that a Pretty Big Canyon for a Large Satellite interference.. I wonder if I would Put a Necrons underneath this Base for lolz)
