“Today was not a complete loss as you have noticed.” The words of the Primarch slithered out of his mouth as he gladly brought details to the events that occured, “Transporting assets through the Galaxy can be more valuable than the assets themselves. This trip was an experiment to see if I can get these assets across the galaxy using Mechanicum vessels.”
“So you are commiting a mass extraction as the war with the Mitu has ended.”
“I wanted to see how many assets I could move out of the region at once.” Declared the Hydra as he moved to take a seat on the nearby table, “Many circumstances could lead to the draining of assets. Alarm among the local populace is an obvious one, but also the need for assets within the region being gone is another. Assets are wasted if they are never to be activated.”
TalOS gave a small nod as he understood what Alpharius meant by those words. That meant he was indeed pulling his resources out of the lands according to their earlier agreement. There are probably a few that he left behind but TalOS could only give a smile behind his metal mask as he gained that understanding.
“The attempt to rely upon internal systems is a handy one.” TalOS admitted as he gave a sign of understanding, “But when someone notices that the food is less than it should be then issues will occur.”
“As it was demonstrated today. The ease of infiltrating a single ship, where all of your resources can be placed into securing the boarding and transit, is outside of the realm of possibilities it seems.” Announced the Hydra, “We will need to do a standard decentralized approach when moving troops across the Imperium.”
“It does make me wonder how many experiments you have played while within my mist.” TalOS declared as he looked upon his brother.
“It could have been a thousand, or none at all.” Declared the brother as TalOS heard his heart slow.
It seems for the moment TalOS will not know what his brother thinks. Somehow TalOS knew the man was lavishing in the misnomer that he tricked TalOS here, knowing that it would be hard for TalOS to know which is reality.
TalOS knew one thing though, this was just a joke. That for all his obfuscation this was just a joke played so that he could gain himself that modicum of self respect back.
