For a moment TalOS recognized the wonder that had just occurred to him. For the first time he had experienced a real time skip, caused by the flow of his time being stopped by another flow of time. What had ever happened between when he was entombed and when he was reawakened was but a mystery to him.
Instead of feeling fear TalOS was now experiencing exaltation. He had truly experienced a time based event caused by the Motive Force! These thoughts were so strong that he felt his hunger fall under its influence.
Such ecstasy of thought waned quickly as he looked around noticing the numerous Priests and Servitors who were standing several standards away from him. At the far end of the wall TalOS quickly realized the highest commands of his sons who looked upon him with unthinking helms.
What was happening beneath those helms TalOS knew. He could taste their fear and worry for him which stained the warp’s influence. Their fear focused on how it was so hard for them to look upon TalOS with any degree of concentration.
TalOS did not need to be told what was the issue or why he was released from his chamber, +My Sons, I am safe. I have bound myself within the chambers of this time stasis unit to keep eachother safe from my current state. Tell UZ1, D3X, and ADM1N that I will be holding off on my duties for the next few months until I can tame my person once again.+
Of those around, it was Reich Marshall AL4N who stepped forward, +I will tell Lucius of your words. We look forward to your return.+ TalOS could tell the sadness that was laced within every word of that communication.
With his words spoken TalOS lifted himself back into the chamber. The Tech Priests who were keeping their distance like he was a radioactive mutant quickly crossed the floor and committed the rite of activation upon the Machine Spirit.
When it snapped, active time and space shifted before TalOS’s eyes.
