“The talks of the flesh however is not the reason I am here today, Fredric.+ TalOS spoke the name as perfectly as any other man of the flesh would, “What I am here today is to present to you a great honor. One that I hope is remembered through Generations.”
The Prince looked at TalOS with a quizzical look about him. He took his one good flesh hand and rubbed the numerous pieces of metal that now inhabited his flesh, “What would that honor be?”
“Your engine kill, the destruction of an Ork Gargant, saved Lucius from what would surely have been many more years of brutal war waged by whatever Warboss was in the system.” TalOS gave the preface in a style befitting of a preacher talking to the anointed, “As I cannot exclaim my thanks in words alone it is through action. We, the Priests of Lucius, will present to you a new steed.”
“A… new Knight?” The wonder within the boy’s eyes gave TalOS a moment’s smile.
“Indeed. After talking we have agreed to give you the strongest possible steed that we can muster from our forges. Our goal was to create a Steed that would extinguish the virtues of the Mechanicum for all that see it. A mighty creation that would be able to face against lesser God Machines if the circumstance was right.+ TalOS declared all outright and without any need for subtlety, “Our aim was to create an Arch Angel. A Knight that could rightfully stand side by side with the God Machines and call itself among their kin.”
TalOS reached into his cloak and brought out a dataslate that had a design upon it, “This was the result of our creations, Angelus Dominus. Using the data of STCs found on Dutonis we have been able to decode a new pattern of Knight previously unavailable to your people. It shall have a chassis twice the side of a Dominus Chassis and have the tools of the Knight Valiant and Magera upon it.”
The boy looked upon the display with clear wonder on his face. TalOS could not help but feel his sheer desire in the fact that he was about to ride the future.
“With its Chassis being so large, we were able to integrate the Teleportation Matrixes of the Warhound God Machines into it.” TalOS declared as he pointed out an integral piece of the engine, “While the Chassis will be slow, it will be able to fly through the battlefield like the God Machines.”
“Th-thank you… Prophet.” The Prince said as he looked upon the display, “I, Prince Fredric of House Borgius, accept this award.”
“Good, and as an additional note we had recovered as many pieces of Borgius Dominus as we could. Your new warmachine should feel similar to the one you previously had.+
