To say that the scheme went well with the crew was a lie. Every single person within the crew seemed to have stopped for several cycles as they realized what exactly TalOS instructed them to fully plan out. They were however the easier ones as TalOS knew the others would be harder.
So he did not even bother with formality.
+Under my authority as Arch Dominus I hereby declare the activation of Protocol 1.+ TalOS declared as he invoked character override, +I am now issuing travel plans for the coming trip. Failure to follow my commands will result in termination.+
TalOS could just feel the panic and horror that went through the ships as they all received the data parcel. It was a scheme that none with an ounce of standard logic would have thought off the bat and many would have called TalOS out for it and have him tried.
That was the magic of Protocol 1. In times of peril the highest ranking member of the Mechanicus has ultimate authority. The issues with that decision is that if invoked a trial date is immediately ruled out after the time of terror is over. TalOS will need to answer for each and every one of his decisions from here onwards.
He will accept any punishment if it meant that he could save his fleet and by extension Lucius.
+Coordinates finalized and travel plan ready to implement.+
+Good.+ TalOS said as he looked directly into the void, +Have we received correspondence from our sister craft?+
There was a few seconds before the words were spoken, +We have received their packages and all are following the plan.+
TalOS took in a breath as he began, <span class="mu-s">+Activate the alerts to alert the crew! Hold everything down that you hold dear! Upon this moment we traverse from the realm of our Lord and to the Realm of Monsters!+ </span>
Upon those commands the entire room went red with alerts. The entire bridge staff bolted themselves into place as the Ritual of Entrance was given. Just like it had so many times before
<span class="mu-s">+Bring the Energy Generation to Max and disengage the safeties. Direct all power to the blessed Warp Drive, for we set off into Damnation!+ TalOS declared in a commanding voice that rang through the entire space ship, +Awaken her with all this might, awaken the Divine Sunderer! Pray to the Machine God for our souls as she awakens!+</span>
