The night upon the planet seemed to symbolize just what everyone was thinking about this event. The Emperor’s choice to host this event upon a turbulent volcanic planet which would wipe out the palace the moment they leave showed just what was brewing.
It was close, that ruination. Maybe it was this moment here that caused it or maybe it was something else. The darkness was closing in and TalOS did not know the facts that were before him. Time kept moving forward though so TalOS needed to face it.
The trials were still raging as now it was the cries of others being heard. First to really have a powerful presence upon the stage was Mortarion whose presence was powerful enough that his voice was carried across the room.
His hatred of the Psyker and unclean had been widely known. This was, to TalOS’s understanding, was caused by his brother’s upbringing. That his home world was controlled by a Lord of Pestilence that turned the already destroyed planet into the playground of Nurgle.
TalOS did not blame his brother’s hatred, but did not agree with it.
It was this decrying that was joined with others. He watched as Sanguinious, one of the founding members of the Librarium, looked down upon the proceedings with a deeply held sadness. So much labor his angelic brother must have committed for it to be stripped by another’s stupidity. In this fact TalOS also wondered if his brother knew of what was to come and feared what this would do to their chances.
The only upturn came when the Librarians of over a dozen legions came forward. Headed by the White Scar’s Head Librarian, Yesugai gave out a cry about the modesty that the rest of the Librarians carried themselves as. He did accuse the Thousand Sons of stepping out of line, but that the punishment should only be limited to them.
After them was when TalOS decided to place his two sense into the event. Permission was easily given from the Emperor and thus he spoke, “I will be brief. The Imperium of Man cannot survive like it has without the use of psykers in both the ranks of the Navis Nobilite and the Legios Astartes. Yesugai was correct, the Thousand Sons have gone too far in diving into sorcery, but it should not stop the rest of the Imperium from practicing the arts which had been approved by Malcador and the Navis Nobilite! That is all.”
There was no applause or fanfare to TalOS’s words. He could see that Magnus looked upon him with a sense of anger, But within that one eye TalOS noticed what might have been grief at the situation he had found himself within.
