The air of the workshop was visible for any who were inside of it. The simple volume of incense was so immense in this facility that one could barely see through the fog that the one inside of it generated. Many who had human lungs would have coughed or suffered but the one inside was put at an immense peace and tranquility.
The reason for this was that he needed that peace. What he did now was of immense value to both himself and the Mechanicum as a whole.
A new eye was opened to TalOS, in a sense. Just as he had witnessed the horrible reality of the Warp through the blood of a navigator, TalOS became a witness to the true beauty that was the universe. It was the Motive Force. The Motive Force as witnessed by his God.
TalOS had always seen the Motive Force as a mystical phenomena. Something that gave items and objects a sort of ability to do what it did. In a sense TalOS was correct in that the Motive Force did allow things to move and act but it was so much more.
It is an intrinsic force that touches every piece of reality. Something that existed even before humanity walked upon the universe. A fundamental existence that TalOS began to realize <span class="mu-i">was</span> reality in a sense.
TalOS could only compare it to the Warp in a sense in that it was a raw energy. A raw energy that was given purpose. Though while the Warp gave purpose through thought the Motive Force gave it through action.
Yes. It was the source of all action that would take place in the universe. Let it be the action of gravity, time, flesh, and machines.
TalOS moved his hand and watched the smoke of the incense dance for a few moments. That there was a form of action and thus was TalOS channeling the Motive Force. He only needed to focus harder on these actions. To refine them in such a way that they would literally become power.
That would be his goal. To refine action itself.
As TalOS watched the dissipating action in his eyes he began to wonder. His hand employed a mechanical action and through time the mechanical action took place. As a fundamental, Time was surely a basis of the Motive Force. And with it, Machines can be used to employ this power.
TalOS pondered and pondered as he began digging into the database of dogma available to him.
