The secundus left the chamber after communicating with the One and the Prime. It scuttled off to find a lesser tertian and relay its order so that Primus's directives would work their way down the chain of command/communication. The required tasks would then be completed in an orderly and timely fashion. Its pace was even, its step unhurried. Everything in Regulus operated smoothly, efficiently, and by the lawful pattern. It always did.
The One and the Prime was left alone in the central chamber hidden away in the bowels of the Great Modron Cathedral. It was, as always, connected to the latticework of waxy strands called the Infinity Web, which provided it with information from throughout the gears of Mechanus - and, to a lesser extent, much of the entire multiverse. Through its connections to the web, Primus saw through the eyes of all of its subordinates - even those it had dispatched throughout the planes and those it had commanded to gaze into the Cathedral's Orrery and observe the actions of creatures everywhere. The One and the Prime observed as much or more than any other being in the multiverse. Everything within the central chamber (and indeed, all of Mechanus) was operating smoothly, efficiently, and by the lawful pattern. It always -
Suddenly, the One and the Prime detected movement within the central chamber - a great deal of movement. Unproductive moments passed as it grappled with the impossibility of what was occurring. It doubted its own ocular senses until it performed an internal examination, proving that its faculties were functioning perfectly. It then confirmed this visual information with its own perceptions. Yes, definitely the impossible had transpired. Then Primus registered a rare correction: This event was not impossible, since it had obviously occurred.
The central chamber of Primus, the One and the Prime, had been invaded.
