The Second Company are the closest fighting force to Mithron, and so Severus must decide whether to commit to saving billions of lives in the hives of Algol or to defending a blessed holy site of the Imperium. He chooses to personally take command of a small force to investigate Mithron, while the rest of the Second Company continues the fight on Algol.
