Editing Burning of Prospero (section)

==Things go wrong==
During his meditations, Magnus saw a vision where [[Horus]] turned against the Emperor and cause a giant civil war. Failing to stop Horus from turning traitor due to interference from [[Erebus|this piece of shit]], Magnus decided to use sorcery to call the Emperor and warn him; by doing this he could personally deliver the news to Big E and also prove just how essential psychic powers were (and validate the use of sorcery). Unfortunately this fucked things up tremendously, as Magnus's phone call breached through psychic barriers of the Webway and allowed [[Daemons|friendly little critters]] to enter the Imperial Palace and start causing mischief. So not only had Magnus wrecked the Emperor's Webway Project but he had also broken the Edict of Nikaea which pissed the Emperor off to no end; he banished Magnus from sight and ignored his warnings about Horus.

Back on Prospero, Magnus realized that he had been manipulated by a [[Tzeentch|giant demon cuttlefish]] and saw how he had not only screwed over himself but the Imperium as well. He decided to stop fucking things up and just waited passively for the retribution that was sure to come instead of doing any number of things, like trying to talk to the [[Leman Russ|guy who was sent to get him]], who actually did try communicating with Magnus to find out what happened. He also refused to try and talk to the Custodians with him and actively prevented any of his Sons from doing so as well. He also decided to hide any knowledge of the incoming Imperial Forces from the Thousand Sons so they wouldn't fight back and ruin their chance for redemption (the worst fucking idea in the world as it had the opposite effect). He also covered Prospero under a psychic shield that blocked astropathic communications and prevented the Legion Corvidae Sect from foreseeing the attack. Finally, he sent the Thousand Sons Fleet away from Prospero on some hidden mission.

Magnus wasn't wrong about incoming punishment as the Emperor decided that Magnus had broken the law and ordered [[Leman Russ]], Primarch of the [[Space Wolves]], to go arrest his brother and bring him back so the Emperor could spank his red ass. Unfortunately Horus, who had indeed turned traitor, intercepted the orders and changed the "arrest" to "kill" Magnus and the Thousand Sons, convincing Leman that trying to arrest Mr Strawberry would be a waste of time. Leman, who was never a fan of Magnus and his sorcery, agreed at the time.

To accompany the Space Wolves, the Emperor sent along Custodes, Sisters of Silence, some Imperial Army Regiments, 5 Psi Titans and a couple Mechanicum Taghmata. Horus also sent 5000 Sons of Horus and 12 Titans of the Legio Mortis. Constantin Valdor also came along, just to make sure everything went as planned. 

The Imperial Fleet reached Prospero, which was still unaware of the incoming attack. Before beginning the attack, Russ tried to contact Magnus several times to request he send away the civilians and surrender peacefully, as the order to kill him didn't sit right with him in hindsight and independently he decided it would be a better idea to arrest his brother and figure out what happened. Magnus refused to answer his calls (again for no fucking reason) and thanks to Magnus' efforts, nobody else was able to communicate either, so after trying for a while and getting really pissed off, Leman ordered the attack to begin.
