Quoted By:
Lucius was a planet that was beige in appearance with massive blck structures jetting out of the crust. Each and everyone of these manufactoriums were dedicated to the worship of mankind and a symbol of their near immortal might that has carried them throughout the thousands of years the planet was occupied by them.
Looking down upon the surface from space he can see the magnificent ‘L’ that stretched across one part of the planet. A symbol that many would call vainful pride, but as an occupant of the planet would claim to be a symbol of their domination. Only the planets of Terra and Mars could claim to have the very surface of their planet changed by the hands of those who lived upon it. Any who look upon the planet will know first and foremost that this was Lucius, the executive seat of the Federation of Lucius.
As always TalOS felt a small glee as he returned home from a weeks long voyage in the Warp. Such an experience as always was something that the Arch Dominus dreaded to the core of his being.
TalOS made sure that the last of his preparations were in order, sending to all his collegues information that he gleamed from Terra and Mars during his time there. The greatest of these was to Arch Magos R3KT, to whom TalOS delivered through the Noosphere his latest analysis of the Astartes Genome.
When his ship was identified though and TalOS made himself known to Lucius once more he received a request by none other than the Fabricator General himself:
<span class="mu-i">Arch Dominus TalOS DAV1S, I hereby summon you to my Manufactorium. You are to do this first and without persons who might scrutinize our discussion.</span>
And with that message sent TalOS knew his coming task. The Manufactorium of the Fabricator General was luckily accessible from space, making it easier for TalOS to answer his summons as soon as possible.
During his trip down towards the planet TalOS looked out upon the shipyards and saw hundreds of ships either being made or docked. At that moment the Primarch thought to himself about what was said to him by his brother. That the Fabricator General was building a fleet.
TalOS’s eyes did not deceive him of the types of ships available or being built. Those before him were not standard ships for monitoring duties, but those meant for exploratory missions.
