It was later revealed that Calus, in conjunction with a small crew of Loyalists and a Guardian confidant named [[Katabasis]], attempted to communicate with the Darkness using [[Scorn]] and the Crown of Sorrow, aboard a ship called the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'', to demand an explanation for its actions, which Calus had seen as underwhelming. Further investigation would reveal that Calus also desired to obtain power from the Darkness using the same manner as the aforementioned communion, and share it with the crew he had sent. Calus had the ship anchor off of [[Phobos]], at the edge of the Anomaly left by the disappearence of Mars. Calus then made the Scorn wear the Crown, stitching their minds together through the use of [[Egregore]], and then have his Councilors channel his will through it and speak to the Darkness. Although the communions initially failed, eventually they would succeed, and the ''Glykon'' plunged into the Anomaly and overrun by Scorn and Egregore, while Calus disappeared. | It was later revealed that Calus, in conjunction with a small crew of Loyalists and a Guardian confidant named [[Katabasis]], attempted to communicate with the Darkness using [[Scorn]] and the Crown of Sorrow, aboard a ship called the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'', to demand an explanation for its actions, which Calus had seen as underwhelming.

The Emperor had actually managed to commune | The Emperor had actually managed to commune with [[the Witness]], and it told him to seek more in the anomaly of [[Mercury]]. Calus returned to the Leviathan and traveled to where Mercury once stood, plunging into the gravity shadow. Though he was afraid his ship would be torn apart like the ''Glykon'' had been, the Leviathan survived the trip, though changed. In this communion, Calus managed to truly converse with the Witness, and understood what their plans were, even for him. He accepted his intended place as a [[Disciples of the Witness|Herald]], and resolved to prove his loyalty to their cause by shedding his body and becoming more than himself.<ref>[[Duality (dungeon)|Repressed Memories 9-12]]</ref> | ||
Some time later, during the events of [[Operation: Elbrus]], Qabix, a member of the [[Psion Conclave]], began to broadcast Psionic propaganda that exhorted the members of the [[Imperial Cabal]] to mutiny and attempted to entreat them to defect. As Caiatl could not launch an attack on the broadcasting station without being viewed negatively in the army's eyes, she entreated the Vanguard to step in. A fireteam was deployed which managed to slay Qabix and shutdown the broadcasts, despite the threat of an orbital bombardment being constantly present. Upon reaching the broadcast room, the fireteam discovered a chest and several other pieces of finery that appeared to have come from the Leviathan, and viewing of the propaganda revealed it to be a message involving a Psion, a golden statue of Calus offering "[[Darkness|Salvation]]", and a [[Pyramid]]. Calus would continue restocking the base with his cloned troops and resources, forcing the Guardians to periodically take it down again. | Some time later, during the events of [[Operation: Elbrus]], Qabix, a member of the [[Psion Conclave]], began to broadcast Psionic propaganda that exhorted the members of the [[Imperial Cabal]] to mutiny and attempted to entreat them to defect.
