It was a child, an infant that was so obviously a creation of the Knight in an attempt to save mankind. A Demi-God made flesh to the God of Humanity. As he examined it he noticed the abilities that the Knight had bestowed upon this infant were much inspired by the Void Dragon’s own abilities. The only thing that the Void Dragon disliked was that this demi-god would only be able to achieve these feats through the careful use of the warp instead of the waves that flowed and ebbed through everything.
He looked at the future of this person and saw one where he would be given upon a timid world without much care. The world was indifferent to him and thus he would become stoic but silent. Reading the tides of time the Void Dragon saw that this example of his own excellence would be lost in a war against a group of creatures plagued by another of his brothers.
That will not do.
The Machine God, even as he was all over the Universe, could not gather enough power to affect the child directly. But instead he had many years of dreaming where he learned the ways and manners of gods. Gods do not act directly for or against a people but instead use agents to carry out their will. This is how the Chaos Gods worked their wonders within the Universe. That is, of course, until the rules of the game are destroyed in two hundred years when they inevitably make the play to destroy the Knight.
This he reached forward, with what power he had, to nudge a single wire within a workshop. There a pair of Priests worked tireless to learn the ability to transit between realities. Of course, being humans and in some way under the influence of the Arkifane they were preparing to travel into the Warp. But one daemon’s exploits were his boon.
The Teleporter slowly began to open in a sliver. With another push of the Machine God’s will he made those upon the planet hear his Prophet and know that time was of the essence. His Children quickly realized the revelation that he was giving onto them and acted in due haste to follow the command.
Power diverted by the Priest the Machine God performed his miracle by calibrating the machines within the room to the location of the infant. Then the Machine God watched as the child came out of the portal screaming much to the anger of the gods who were there.
The Machine God knew from that moment onwards his Cult would be subject to subterfuge. His Prophet would try his best to fight against the growing tide of Chaos but the Prophet of the Chaos Gods would have found a way to taint those of the faith. Many, not understanding the actions of the Prophet, would fall to Chaos and into the lap of the Arkifane.
The Machine God knew this yet he saw what happened as Good. While the terrors of the far future will not be avoided there will still be hope among his Cult for a savior.
