“With Lucius joining the Mechanicum I am fine with things going the way they currently are. Arms and armaments are what are necessary for war.” Horus told TalOS as he leaned in a little, “But I would not put it past you to organize a few of those resources for yourself. Legions are hungry, I can tell you now.”
“That is reasonable.” TalOS admitted as he began planning things out for a few more moments, “But what of more luxurious goods?”
“The Imperium is newborn and needs time to grow.” Pointed out Horus as he charmed a smile, “Whatever luxuries that the people will have will be upon their newly enlightened worlds. I understand that the Mechanicum will have a great plethora of goods and materials from the previous age but mankind does not need those.”
“So simply arms and armaments?”
“Yes. As I am sure right now the Martians and your people are discussing now it will simply be those. As for the planets around those, they are of your ‘Federation’.” Horus pointed out as he chuckled, “Though I have caught glimpses of those you call the Knights of Dutonis.”
“So you have witnessed the might of our Angels.” TalOS almost laughed at those words, “They are powerful beings in both flesh and metal.”
“I would not mind a few of them working side by side with my legion.” Horus told TalOS as he measured TalOS’s response, “If you wish I can argue that they will count towards your contribution towards the activities of the Great Crusade.”
“A portion you say? It would need to be a great amount for me to ask them to be mercenaries.” TalOS told Horus with a hint of warriness within his voice.
“I think they would be worth every piece of metal they wield.” Answered Horus back with expectation within his voice.
>Then they shall fight alongside you
>It is up to them to make the decision themselves, Horus
>They will remain in Lucius as we fortify our Federation. Sorry brother.
