Corax and Vulkan have an exchange where they both wonder if perhaps they are wrong to care so much about not wanting to kill the traitors and maybe they should be more like Ferrus in his pure rage.

Next a human fleet and some solar auxila receive word that they will be amongst the first to enter combat at Isstvan V due to how close they are to the system.

We see Cassian Draco wake from his slumber and be placed in a dreadnought, he reminisces about a moment he had with Horus then opens his eyes to see Vulkan before him. Vulkan asks him how he would serve the legion now to which he replies he would serve in battle.

Aboard the Shadow of the Emperor, Alvarex Maun is in Corax's chamber. He watches a memento mori clock tick before Corax appears in the room. As the legion master of descent Corax asks him if it is possible to drop the entire legion within 100 minutes of arriving at Isstvan V. Maun is shocked and says it's impossible but Corax knows he's thinking about how to accomplish it. Finally Maun says it can be done and he will do it.
Also aboard the ship Kades Nex prepares for the coming fight by going against kill-servitors in a training deck. He has no orders and nobody is commanding him, he just knows that Corax wants him to descend and murder the ranking officers of the Sons of Horus.

Finally the fleets arrive at Isstvan V and immediately proclaim that they have come to war.
