And then throw that sun into a black hole.

No because they ain't leaving and we can't send troops down and there's no reason IC to do so until we actually go down and have a look which again is a big nono, though we may have automatons by then

Are yall just completely ignoring the existence of DaoT Humanity here? Shit will obviously be different depending on which side of the War of Iron we are on, but Dark Age humanity should be more than capable of stacking up in the coming fight against the Necrons.

The trick is we don't know what part of the timeline is going on currently. Have the MoI already rebelled? How soon is Slannesh going to come around? Is the galaxy still being choked with warp storms? It's impossible to say, so we can't even fathom what/who we'll run into when we get off world.
What I'm hoping for is that the return of the Necrons helps to pull the elder from murderfuckung Slannesh into existence. I'm sure there are farseers that saw the return of their ancient enemy, and with any luck their kind can direct their need for new sensations against the mechanical menace long enough for us to get a more robust tech base under our scaly feet.

Hell, we could be prior to the DAoT even. That only lasted from 15k-25k. We could be in like, 14k for all we know. . .
When someone mentioned ground based Slann, it suddenly gave me a wild idea. What if way later into the space age, our Slann command ships could present themselves in battle like V'ger here?

For reference as to those who don't know what's going on, here's a short breakdown. V'ger, a several kilometer long vessel is at the center of the giant mass of blue clouds you see there. The cloud itself is a powerful energy field which is canonically about 2 AU from one end to the other.

It's a 40k quest. Basically, Pandora Cadmus the firstborn immortal child of the Emperor is an Alpha-plus psycher, Anathema to Choas and a literal goddess. Cegorach hijacks the ritual to godforge Ynnead and incarnates her on Cadia during its fall. She becomes Lord Commander of the IoM and tries to unfuck the galaxy. It's not easy, but we're making progress.

We can see Slannesh in the process of being born, so presumably we're either in the Iron War or somewhere near it, as that's when the Eldar started fucking everything over.

That's literally what they did
Hmmmm, if were in ye old days of the Galaxy this means we might eventually want to prepare for the Great Crusade.
Not immediatly of course (Gotyta Survive the Robot Slave Uprising), but eventually a bunch of Manchildren are gonna be told by dad to commit a little genocide. While I think we could survive a SM Chapter attacking, a SM Legion is another thing entirely.

Well, Farseers don't exist yet, as the Eldar Paths don't exist yet, so Eldar can't get stuck on the Path of the Seer. They can still be astonishingly capable diviners, and get tip offs from their partially atemporal gods as well, but they won't have the personality changes that afflict those lost on a Path.

The Cybernetic Revolt might not even happen. The humans are important to the Plan (and thus, important to us) and, considering their spiritual awakening is happening right about now, one of the first things we're likely to do if we meet them is teach them how to contain and/or train wizards/psykers and ward their shit against warp influence. Considering that the most likely suspects for the Cybernetic Revolt (since the Men of Iron were apparently chill for a prolonged period) are Chaos Scrap Code, Eldar fucking with the primatives or Void Dragon on Mars, basic safety precautions would prevent (or at least impede) the first two, and being aware and wary of the Necrons presents options for the third.
According to Isendral:
So unless something incredibly vast changes, the Age of Strife won't begin for several thousand years in M25. The closest to a date I can get for the Cybernetic Revolt is "Late M23" so we are likely before that.
No, we definitely would have noticed that.

The gods aren't on speaking terms with anyone not on Isendral's level of piety and power, but she has confirmed there are orders of seers around to check up on Chaos Plots and whatnot, mentioned more relevantly to us here:
Though there could well be Incarnate level followers of Morai-heg or Lileath who are part of those orders. Assuming said orders and any Incarna therein haven't been sabotaged/assassinated by the Dark Muses like they tried with Isendral and her Hunter.

The Cybernetic revolt happened in the 23rd mellinia we are currently if I recall correctly around the birth of slannesh era
Edit as for sensing something

There will be Eldar seers around, just as there will be Eldar warriors, there just won't be Farseers or Exarchs, as per-Fall those eldar will also be able to have other interests and do other things, was my point.

We know we're in the era that the Dark Muses have risen to power, which spans from M19 to M25. The fact that Isendral predicts (with no refutation from the Slann) that the turmoil around the Dominion Core Worlds won't turn into galaxy wide problems for "millennia yet" means we're minimum in early M23, with the Cybernetic Revolt coming in probably the 700-900 region. It's fairly likely we're even earlier than that.
I understand, my intention was to back up your point via citation, though I did refute the idea that the gods would be giving them hints given the Edict and the influence of the Dark Muses.
Also, unrelated, I'm super excited that Codex: Leagues of Votann is coming out soon. I wonder if any of the Starwalkers are headed towards the core region.

If we told Emps to hold off on his webway project for about a century, wouldn't that save everything and makes things much better for about everyone except chaos?

Well it's a longshot but we'd need to prove we aren't trying to screw him over first. Once we prove that he might be willing to listen or collaborate.

Lots of Wanted Nails could save everything. Meeting Magnus and teaching him that battering down fortress walls to deliver a warning of treachery is a stupid fucking idea. Meeting Lorgar and being saying "here are some provably real gods that don't want to fuck you in all meaning literal or metaphorical". Visiting Interex and destroying all their chaos artifacts because keeping those is incredibly stupid.
And that's all assuming we only meet the local humans after the Age of Strife and don't have time to do stuff like ward the Men of Iron or establish colleges of magic to help contain the rising psyker population.
