The Martian opened up with a bow, “I am Magos Orellinous acting as the Mechanicum representative for the 12th Exploratory Fleet. It is an honor, Fabricator General, to have been given a chance to not only speak to you but your court and people as a whole.”
“Raise your head, Magos Orellinous.” Declared the Fabricator General as he raised his hand, “I hereby recognize the presence of Mars and the Authority afforded to the Red Planet by our court and fellows. I only wish that we met in better circumstances.”
“I too. We were unknowingly late to the darkest hour for your planet. The loss of knowledge is something that even now saddens me.” The Priest raised a mechanrite in a jester of introduction towards the man besides him, “As I am the representitive of Mars, I have already had a discussion with the Commander and we have agreed he shall speak for us. I hereby present to the Court of Lucius Horus Lupercal.”
Upon those words the two switch sides, the giant quickly taking over most of the stage that was made even for someone like TalOS or more Augmented Tech Priests to stand upon. He shinned a smile across the hall in a show of favor though TalOS noted that Horus kept taking glances at him in particular. It seemed to show that he was more confused about TalOS than anything else.
“Thank you Magos Orellinous.” The man called out his fellow with a small laugh, “I am Horus Lupercal, Commander of the 12th Exploratory Fleet and Primarch of the 16th legion. It is an honor to stand before your court in this hour of Victory that we all share. May what we speak of today be remembered by both the Imperium and the Mechanicum as a great moment of triumph.”
TalOS could not help but tell the measure of each and every word the man spoke. He could feel that each and every word was measured and calculated for the audience. He was simply oiling up the Machine Spirit so that he could ask it to do something dire for him. Though if it was dire TalOS would need to judge that.
“As I am sure my compatriots of Mars have given you already, the Treaty of Olympus is the agreement between all of the Imperium and the Mechanicum. While the intricacies of the Treaty are numerous and far reaching, the premise is that as the Mechanicum you shall supply the armies of the Imperium arms and technological assistance while in return we provide the numerous Forge Worlds protection and Mechanicum complete jurisdiction over STCs and its internal operations.”
The Primarch looked across the High Court and those around him while weighing the room, “As I understand you have grown an empire within this system. I shall agree to leave the operations of the Federation under the umbrella of Lucius if you are to agree to this today.”
