In the end the choice was difficult, so many different things that TalOS could be working on that would lead him to greatness. So many things that with the resources of a Fabricator General might become the greatest of their kind.
But the Primarch knew that his fate was still out of his hands.
As long as the Primarch was somewhat tied to the Warp his fate could be tempered by that avian creature he met so long ago. Every day TalOS was alive he would gain just that little bit more understanding about the warpbased forces that threatened his world, even if he truly did not wish to know more about them.
It all came back to the moments before his birth. The moment where he stared into the face of those fickle images of daemonic creatures that were but viruses to the material world. So much information was given to TalOS in that single instant of time. It was a curse that he knew might consume him if a solution was not yet founded.
It was with this thought that TalOS knew what it was he needed to do. He needed to break free of the Warp.
So the Primarch looked over the research for a time, his eyes skimming across the foundation of understanding that the people of Xana learned. It was this foundation that continued to give TalOS insight, an understanding that the Blanks and Pariahs worked on a different pattern than normal men.
As he studied these things he began to realize the truth of the matter, that they were limited in their understanding of the Blank. Even that name, Blank, would hint that these people had something other than Souls but how did they function? If you discount their aura of consumption they were very much normal people, so that meant they had everything a normal person had.
In the end this meant that they, the Blank, might actually have a soul.
It was this thought that was several years in the making and took several months of reviewing each and every piece of research to find. But TalOS had it, he had an understanding that he was seeking all along. For if Blanks had Souls then that meant they were different from most of mankind by the fact their souls might not be part of the warp.
It was then TalOS realized research needed to be done. He needed to first confirm that they had souls, and then after potentially correlate it potentially providing the consuming effect. When these were done, just maybe, a solution could be made that could convert a normal man into a blank.
