The smell of incense crawled into the High Court as the Tech Priests stood assembled. Though it was not only the Tech Priests that were present but a bounty of different forces in attendance. From all over the fledgling Federation did the people who were attending come.
From Helmnet those who could roughly be described as ambassadors were present within the halls. Out of everyone though they had the least power as thanks to the miracles of the Mechanicum their upper class had become deathly reliant on them.
On another side of the room from those folk were the still able Knights of Dutonis. The Highest ranking representative was the Prince Alexander of House Borgius and while indeed he held a lot of power at this very moment he looked on with a miffed expression. That likely was because his opponent, Prince Fredric, was currently replaced with a lowly duke as he recovered from what was one of the greatest actions that helped Lucius repel the ground invaders.
It is a simple fact that while he tried even Prince Alexander could not claim an engine kill like that of the Gargant. Even if his fellow did not have the honor of being present within this Court he held far greater honor and the good will of the Mechanicum. Something he needs to gain if House Borgius wishes to not fall behind.
Lastly there were the Tech Priests of Mezoa. They were not a diplomatic cohort and unlike those of Helmnet they did not carry any fake power. However they were in attendance to make sure their planet was represented when it came to the event today.
The sounds of feet stomping came through the halls as the visitors began their approach. TalOS had only a limited conversation when it came to his interactions between himself and the Imperium. At most they had sent what was called an Orator to meet with him to organize communication between the commander of the fleet and Fabricator General of Lucius. He was a baseline human though, unlike those that walked into his court.
The first to come in were those bearing the banners of the Cog Mechanicum and the Aquila of the Imperium. These were bore by a pair of augmented soldiers that TalOS realized had a striking resemblance to the Acillians that he himself created.
He had his suspicions when news came in of their super soldiers, but now TalOS was seeing first hand how credible that information was.
After the banner bearers came in four of the Astartes into the room. While looking exactly like those bearing the banners, each of them had on their pauldrons a moon in several phases of light reflection. TalOS guessed these soldiers held some sort of significance and if what the data-package sent by the Mars Priests were correct, they were the right hands of the commander. The ‘Mornival’.
After they arrived were the pair that the Court of Lucius waited for.
