Quoted By:
“People of the Assembly, you have heard the issue and shall now take into consideration whether to support one or the other.” TalOS said as he created a holovid to demonstrate the amount of votes being made, “The stipulations are what was agreed upon here, so keep that in mind as you vote.”
TalOS saw as many of the machines sitting in the laps of the people lit up. They each picked it up and began reaching the details to feed to TalOS the votes that they wished to present.
When it comes to the votes being made the value of each was not the same. Maybe if this was formed from another organization it would have been, but instead the method of votes employed by the Cult Mechanicus was to be used here today.
So instead of the value based on the represented population of eligible voters or each vote being weighed the same, what was being calculated was the value that person could bring to the entire manufacturing network of the Federation. So it would take into consideration who created the most value, as a good example being an owner of a power facility would have more power than a Manufactorium manager. While the managing adept might be putting forward a great amount of end products, it is the one who gives the power to not only him but many other Forges who truly contributes to the production.
It is by these rules that the Knights are on near equal standing with the Priests. They are presenting not only foodstuff but also adamantium and military aid that could not be rivaled. It is a similar fact to the Nobles, each of whom has worlds filled with the precious manpower that all Forge Worlds wish to have and exploit.
As the votes began the votes ended with TalOS looking at the results. The vast majority voting in favor of the Knight, only Priests who might have benefited from the investment voting in favor of themselves or not voting at all.
“We shall invest into the Agri-Worlds from hence onwards.” TalOS declared with a mighty bellow, “We will converse about this circumstance again in thirty years, after which value will be reaped.”
