With the crystal now in his possession TalOS flicked a series of controls and plugged in the power source. What once was pulsing now became stricken and latched down with unerring accuracy. TalOS gave a nod to himself before looking over and sending a nearby Steel Warden an order through the Noosphere.
“Is it up to your satisfaction, Arch Dominus?” Lawrence asked as he raised his head to face the Primarch.
“You have done what I asked.” TalOS answered the Navigator with a straight forward taste in the words, “Now we will test it.”
As TalOS finished those words the Blackstone Amulet that he asked for arrived in the hands of the Acillian. The Navigator visibly flinched as he got just a few feet away from the item. A terror unlike the one earlier started to creep upon his face. Previously it was a fear for his life, now it was a fear of existence.
“You shall hold it.” TalOS told the Navigator before handing him the regulation device. In an instant the Psyker looked relieved as if a lifeline was sent out to him from afar.
TalOD nodded to the Acillian and soon the Amulet was within the Primarch’s hand. The calming energies that radiated from it helped to calm the Primarch down immensely. A relief that could barely be described went over his form as TalOS felt all those wishing his death look elsewhere for the moment.
As he turned towards the Navigator he could see the massive amount of relief upon him. As if a great weight was taken off of him. He held the Regulator tight though and seemingly did not wish to let it go like one would a final lifeline.
“The device works.” TalOS declared with a sense of satisfaction within his voice, “The Machine God blessed me with this knowledge, tools, and material. Through these I finished what I have started.”
“It's… amazing.” The Navigator admitted as he held the device tight.
“Do you think you will be able to use that as a catalyst to employ psychic powers against me?” TalOS outright asked the psyker as he moved to place the amulet once more upon his chest.
“No, the amulet protects you just as much as it prevents you. I simply hold… a candle in the darkness that your amulet of blackened reality creates. A severed piece of reality that few can manifest anything with.”
TalOS did not detect any lie there. He had succeeded.
