With those thoughts in his head TalOS rose with an emptied drink in his hand. He began moving towards a table that laid a series of tools and parts that could be for any purpose that TalOS desired. After all, within his mind he held the secrets of the Mechanicum and within the Blackstone Fortress was the first few steps towards creating a backup of the entire knowledge base of the Mechanicum.
“I ask you brother, before you rejoin the shadows, what is it you wish from my workshop.”
The Primarch asked rose from his seat and made his way to join TalOS. His eyes glazed across the entire array of parts likely in an attempt to create something within his mind. It was sort of entertaining knowing that the Primarch was trying his best to breach the knowledge base that TalOS had.
“I… wish for a spear.”
“A simple tool that is older to humanity than even the sword. Why?”
“They feel good within my hands.” Answered the Primarch.
“What kind have you previously wielded in battle and prefered the most. If given, I can make their grip match or surpass the one I am to make.”
The 20th seemed to measure the value of those words for a moment. As if what he was about to disclose was something more close to him than anything else.
An old memory to make him, TaloS summarized.
“A Guardian Spear of a Custode.”
TalOS gave a nod as he spoke weighted words, “Whatever occured between you and the Custodes not of my place but the Imperium’s. You will not do that to my people though without alerting me of it though.”
At that moment the Primarch was left speechless as he weighed his response. He seemed to realize that if he failed this one instant, the next time they met one another he would be killed. Such was the fate of spies even when found in a friend’s territory. It was the right of the Diplomat to not be killed for their information gathering.
“Even if it is in the benefit of humanity?” Asked the 20th Primarch in an attempt to find his way out of such a demand.
>Where it benefits humanity, to my viewpoint not just yours.
>If that is the moral compass of a spy, yes.
>No, there are no ifs or buts. Spies are at the mercy of their captures after all.
