The Genetor looked down upon his patient, the slumbering face of Angron appearing to be in so much pain even as he laid before them sleeping. A small part of TalOS really did want to help his brother, to make the actions that would save a life. However, the risks involved were too much for such a unilateral decision to be made.
“Father, Uncle, can we ask Angron if he wishes to be saved?” TalOS requested as he looked upon the Emperor and Malcador, “I will not doom him against his own will, but if he wishes to be saved in some capacity I can grant it.”
The Emperor gave a solemn glance at his son before turning towards TalOS with a faint frown that adorned such a powerful visage, “I will ask him. You know the answer he will give already though.”
TalOS took in a breath as he began putting the bits of skull back in their proper positions, “He will, in all likelihood, say no. From the records I have read his outrage at your actions was enough that he slaughtered most of his High Command by his very own hands.”
“He will not, but I will ask anyways.” The Emperor spoke as he turned towards Malcador, “We need to make sure that Angron is watched over in due time. Will his Legion be willing to follow through with this?”
“There are some among their ranks, their Psykers, who do not feel as deep a kinship with him. I shall task them with giving up updates through the Astropaths.”
“Then we watch him like a Prisoner.” TalOS asked as he could only shake his head in shame, “My brother, oh brother, to think that this fate befell you. There is nothing you can do, for even your reason has been pulled. I can only hope that one day, when the Machine God looks upon you, that the weapon he possessed pierces both of your hearts.”
With those sombered words TalOS cleaned up the work site and reattached what was the skull of Angron. Through use of a calcium gel and regrowth that made his brother whole again. There was a moment here he wondered if he should drive a scalpel through his head, as a mercy stroke, but the need for all Legions was present as it was recognized they could be lost in battle.
