TalOS waited a moment so that he could think long and hard about the next few words he shall speak. Indeed creating AI and cloning are two tenants that are against the Mechanicum but they were facing annihilation. And if TalOS was correct, that was the plan of the evil creature known as Be’Lakor.
Create a secret and cause them to alienate themselves from the rest of the Mechanicum. When the time is right, cause a schism using the Xanites as a chisel. If the framework of the Mechanicum was as shotty as TalOS was feeling it could cause a heresy the likes of which the entire universe has yet to see.
TalOS will deny them this. If he did not ruin all their plans he shall at least save Xana II.
+Three sins you have. Two you know and a third that has been lost to time.+ TalOS said as he began making steps towards the Fabricator Lord, +These are damning ones made by your forefathers. If they were committed by you in times of peace I would have not choice but to advocate the destruction of this world.+
To TalOS’s words the Priests began to lean in towards him. It seemed they caught the subtleties of his words and held true to them, +You did not commit them in times of war though. No, you committed them during a time where you were either wiped out or turned towards it. And while I cannot say it was the right thing, it needed to be done.+
TalOS turned towards the Priests with open arms, +It is because of these. That you committed these sins a millennium ago and that you did so in a time of strife are my arguments. Upon my authority as a Priest of the Machine God, I give you absolution.+
And with those words the room ran silent. The Priest’s internal network did not make a beep or scratch as they were simply stunned from the declaration.
TalOS expected this but it did not stop him. During his entire declaration he continued his walk until he arrived before the Fabricator Lord of Xana II.
+The fact remains though that your systems are still tainted. As confirmation of the Machine God’s will I will wipe the presence of Be’Lakor from your systems.+
The court watched as TalOS took a Mechanrite and sent it over the table. The bits were soon inserted and TalOS was given the same access as the Fabricator Lord himself.
TalOS felt data swim over him as he focused on the world of data algorithms, and Machine Spirits.
