TalOS could see upon the face of his son the fear that was made bare upon it. Unlike the Emperor’s sons the Acillians knew many of the more human emotions. Dread, anguish, but also bravery. Many of them had used dampeners to weaken it, TalOS knew that ED1SON did not use such means of self control. He must regret it now, feeling the dread that a single decision by another person can have on his entire life.
It was this fact that TalOS spoke, +You seek to become a Priest of the Cult. To be raised to that position, from a Soldier’s duty no less, is not common.+
With those words TalOS was able to snap his son back into reality, +We are not simply soldiers though, Father. You have trained us to be both researchers and discoverers. That we too can reach enlightenment.+
+And how would becoming one of the Priesthood assist in reaching this state?+ TalOS further pressed as a simple request became an interview.
+It is the next step from what my understanding leads.+ Pointed out the Acillian without his hand reaching for his drink, +We spend most of our days training and preparing with the risk every day of going out into battle. I do not wish it known that I am craven, but that this risk always hampers what it is I can discover or realize.+
+So you believe more value can be scored if you devote your time into understanding and research?+ TalOS placed forward as he gave a small hum.
+I agree with that Father. Many of my brothers take for granted the modifications to our brains you have committed. I believe them to give us a greater ability to see the world and even benefit the Priesthood in matters other than war.+
TalOS could not help but give a small chuckle, +Other than war?+
+Yes!+ ED1SON cheered as he took his hand upon the mug, +Father, it is hard to describe how something like this drink changed the Proelitor into what it is today. This is something so small that can bring so much change, and yet I have seen entire planets be reforged into a paradise. I understand that war is needed, but war is only one facet of life and I wish to improve all of it.+
+Then you will have your wish.+ TalOS announced as he took a drink of the B33R.
And to that he noticed the face of ED1SON grow enlightened.
