TalOS could see the confusion upon his Father’s face was extreme in the matters at hand. Just as TalOS would, his Father began to question, “How?”
“It is the Motive Force.” TalOS explained in the simplest of terms before he gave the information that his Father truly wished to hear, “Just as the Machine God who is the Void Dragon and is named Mag'ladroth by the Eldar; I have have an adept’s mastery over the flows of the Materium. In this mastery I watch the stars change and planets align with the ease of knowing where they will be. By using the logic of the stars I bring it to the smallest man to realize where he shall be.”
The Emperor nodded with understanding even as the concept was something that should not be reasonable. Yet, as the Ancient beyond Ancients, his Father was able to somewhat grasp what it was he spoke.
“Then he gave you a Truth.” Those words were said in disbelief that came from the Emperor. As if his view of the Universe was somewhat challenged by the reality shown before them.
“That is true. The Machine God enlightened me with knowledge that was once the C’Tan’s own.” TalOS told his Father as he decided to return himself to the issue, “But as I said Father the Galaxy seems to quake and fracture when we reach those eighty years. When I look at a planet it seems that at one point it will change alignment and distances will be shrunk or expanded. A linear span of time would be removed in lue of none to collect it. I wish to ask you why?”
The Emperor seemed to give a solemn nod as he heard those words and addressed them outright to his son, “What I know of that time is that it will be the trial of the Imperium. More than the Rangdan who threatened to smother an infant within its cradle, that will be the time where the next ten thousand years are judged. You know the reason why you cannot see it.”
“It is the Warp, it will be the time where we must fight the Warp directly.” TalOS answered his Father.
“For eternity, past today and into that era, I am to continue working in building the preparations of the time of Trial. It is the reason I work, to best protect mankind from when those times come.” The Emperor told his son forthright and without error.
“Will you have enough time?” TalOS asked as he could feel a sense of dread welling within his heart.
“I do not know.” His Father answered in truth, “In my own future sight I must take more drastic measures to prepare for that event. I weigh the options within my mind, but know that whatever I do from this point onwards will be in preparation. Just as you prepare yourself, I shall too.”
“I understand.” TalOS said as he gave a bow of respect now that his question has been answered.
