Perturabo spoke but little in the presence of Alpharius and the lion but requested Draco attend him aboard his flagship, the Gloriana-class Iron Blood. He spoke of the things he had seen, of visions of a place (the Hadex Anomaly) that did not yet exist, and the nature of time. Of his own place in the Imperium - and where they all would fit once the Crusade Ended. Perturabo would rather it didn't. He'd rather make the journey to another galaxy to continue the war if ever the Galaxy of Man was fully pacified.
Perturabo showed Draco his great work - the Temporis Computatrum - a vast cogitator array that could be used to predict the future (but not, sadly, help a human interpret its findings). Draco helped Perturabo see the folly of his ways. No mere machine can accomplish what the psychic mind of a Primarch can.
Perturabo also shared his suspicions about the Rangdan: they were using time itself to escape their fate and return, stronger than before. Draco used this knowledge to fined the Rangdan Core World and stage a surprise attack that ended the war - in this time and all others.
