It has been an eternity since TalOS had walked the halls of Lucius. He missed the smell of incense that flooded the air from the numerous chimneys that the Mechanicum arranged to keep the star below their feet stable.
There was the sound of industry as well. Oh the sound of production where the metals and forges of man move the Motive Force from what would be once inert objects into the epic machines that the Machine God had graced humanity with the knowledge of.
He had seen the hordes of people walking through the streets like a wave. Each and everyone of them the center of their individual universe. They were but actors within the great game of the Universe that do not realize just how important they are. TalOS knew that if one held just a little bit of power then they simply needed to invest that into the future.
In the personal halls of his Manufactorium TalOS paid witness to the awakening of a Titan. Its massive frame was hardly contained within the Manufactorium that was meant to build them. There was a soft humming of plasma generators as the Void Shield systems roared into life around the Avatar for the series of tests that would need to be committed.
+There you are.+ The soft words came to TalOS as he looked dazingly at the awakened God Machine before him.
With what was a deep setting feeling within his heart TalOS turned to see blackened hair and a pale face. Said face was not tarnished by anything, for it was closer to a false skin thanks to the machines which crawled underneath her skin.
+UZ1+ TalOS’s words held what was a deep longing that he did not really understand was missing for so long.
Without any other thoughts TalOS closed the gap between the two of them and took her in a massive hug. A soft smile, which held so much weight within it, crossed TalOS’s face as he felt the years he had gained slowly drip away.
UZ1 did not say anything as she welcomed the embrace.
TalOS knew this moment would be in his memories for the longest time. But he had to wonder, to think, will he ever be able to do this after the Heresy to come?
The answer was no, and he knew it to be absolute.
