→Indomitus Crusade
====Indomitus Crusade====
Messinius was on the [[Zar-Quaesitor]] for [[Belisarius Cawl]]'s reveal and demonstration of the [[Primaris]] [[Space Marines]]. During the combat demonstration he felt a tingle in the back of his neck and left to investigate. In a corridor nearby he met [[Alpha Primus (Space Marine)|Alpha Primus]], who believes Messinius has some sensitivity to the warp since he felt his manipulation. [[Alpha Primus (Space Marine)|Alpha Primus]] says he is loyal to the throne and says he called Messinius to warn him, and told him not to trust everything [[Cawl]] says, but did specify that [[Cawl]] has no desire to rule and wants the salvation on mankind. He also informed Messinius that he's different in some way than the standard [[Primaris]] [[Space Marines]]. After they talked Messinius returned to the display hall to finish watching the demonstration. He ordered his troops to perform a sweep, but knew they would find nothing.{{Fn|1b}}
After the reveal of the [[Primaris]] [[Space Marines]], Guilliman had individual meetings with the Space Marines that accompanied him on the Terran Crusade. During his meeting with Messinius Guilliman gave him the choice of going with a Torchbearer fleet to reinforce the [[White Consuls]], or stay and help the Indomitus Crusade. Messinius chose to stay, so Guilliman gave him the temporary rank of [[Lord Lieutenant]], he was given command of a group of Primaris Space Marines attached to [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius]]' [[Battlegroup Saint Aster]], and assigned him to act as one of the chief advisors of [[Cassandra VanLeskus]]. [[Guilliman]] also assigned him a Primaris Adjutant, Lieutenant [[Ferren Areios]], Ferren's assignment to Messinius was based on his psyche profile and simulation evaluations. At the end of their meeting [[Guilliman]] gifted Messinius a [[Auramite]] [[Power Fist]] and [[Plasma Pistol]] that had been customized for him, then assigned him to take his primaris marines and asses the status of [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quintus]].{{Fn|1c}}
