TalOS marked the moment his brother entered the warp to go upon his own reconquista. The majority of materials that Guilliman had provided TalOS were records of the past, both of Macragge and of the Terran Federation, but among those parcels was locations that TalOS will need to seek out.
He also noted the tank turret designs that were among the files. If he ever got to design some form of tank he will need to use these as a building block.
As he finished looking through the materials given to him, TalOS once again engrossed himself into the messages that he shall respond to as the Fabriactor General. Numerous requests for him to mediate disputes, let it be of Nobles, Knights, or Priest, were all given over to those who TalOS knew to trust. It was one of the more annoying things about being a leader for other leaders seeked him out to meditate. In doing so was one of the last steps before the two parties went into full scale war.
And that was if TalOS allowed it or not. He was well aware of realms at the fringes of his Empire committing themselves to skirmishes for things like asteroids and the like. As long as full war was not broken out TalOS will not need to turn his ire to that situation.
The primary issue that TalOS came across was a message received from Pterraxi. The Arch Explorator had been going through the numerous systems which laid within the realm of Lucius and as such was discovering all manner of xenos and human civilizations. Xenos were easily destroyed as the could not match the might of Lucius, while humans were easily bribed into compliance.
What message he received from Pterraxi was a first in their multiyear expansion. A planet full of humans has resisted all forms of coercion from the Mechanicum. They did not accept the chance at eternal life or the limitless food that Lucius could not bring to the table. They did not want to trade and demanded that Lucius leave them alone.
TalOS already knew what happens to realms like these in the Imperium, they are swiftly conquered. What would be his policy though?
>TalOS shall also conquered it
>Leave them be
