Time quickly went by as the forces became what were the First and Second Reconquista Fleet. Simple designations for sure but in time they shall surely be more standardized. It also made assigning the numerous groups within the Reconquista force easy enough.
With such an assembly TalOS was happy to declare that the forces were made correctly. Taking in the capability of the Blackstone Fortress the enemy was likely to lose an immense amount of power, so a 65-35 ratio was employed when creating these forces.
The reason so much weight was given to the ‘distraction’ was that a distraction can always become the flanking force. The same counted the other way around, with the flanker being forced to become a distraction.
As for the forces within these fleets they were even handed. TalOS granted to the Second Fleet a healthy amount of both Acillians and Astartes. And with them TalOS had to grant them Legion Master Vadar as he by far had more experience in this kind of warfare over AL4N. After that, the Knights, Titans, and Skitarii were all allocated with ease as TalOS at the ratios given above.
Thus the strategy was set and both forces entered the Warp.
As always the Primarch went to his study. A massive room with an assortment of technology that TalOS was testing on behalf of the numerous Forge Worlds within the Mechanicum. Each of these being submissions that TalOS was to see about giving the light of day in recognizing. As such it ranged from simple Radium Pistols to the Thallax that was given to TalOS by the Ordo Reductor.
TalOS could not help but take an interest in what they talked about, how the Motive Force was specifically generated by the destruction of things. In by destroying things you venerated the Machine God. TalOS could see how such a philosophy could be created when raw energy is created by splitting an atom. Thus, the source of the Motive Force is from that destruction.
As for the creation itself the Thallax was a massive and dangerous artifact from the age of mankind’s ascendance. Their armor was not as tough as an Astartes but it made up in that for granting the Servitor immense strength and toughness against attacks. With it though came a powerful Machine Spirit. It was close enough that just a few changes could make a human within it no longer required.
A dangerous prospect, but one that TalOS would quickly learn about.
As he turned away from the servitor TalOS saw the figure of UZ1 working diligently at one of the workstations.
