Renalus got even angrier when he heard the woman speak, calling them goats and bringing up this Unknown Trinity. Everything she spoke was heretical to him and he as prepared to order all of his men to attack. However before he could order his brothers to do so he heard the machine speak up and asked them to stand down in the name of the Emperor to not further damage the planet and incur more losses than needed.

Once he heard the machine speak, Renalus actually gave his orders some thought. She had clearly insulted them and was spewing heretical nonsense at them, their pride and honor was on the line. But if they were to die needlessly here then it would be a waste of Imperial lives. Renalus clenched his fist knowing what he had to do, an opponent that was not an alien nor a regular person but something else entirely. "There is no glory in pointless defeat, brothers withdraw from the area! We are leaving now. We must not waste our lives this day." Renalus spoke into his vox and he subsequently used his jump-pack and flew out of the crater before he and all this fellow marines began to fall back to Thunder-Hawk Transports already dispatched to the planets surface.
