“They are not Evil Gods for you said it best, they are reliant on humanity.” TalOS declared as his Thesis to the problem that was presented to him.
“Indeed it was as I said, but you say that as if it is a barrier between them and your Machine God.” Malcador pressed so that he could hear the true logic and reason.
“These creatures, entities, or however they shall be referred to from this moment forward are but the cancers you describe. They vye for power as they are drunk on it, but also that they are not all powerful.” TalOS pointed out as he swiftly guided his hand through the sanctum that they were within, “In here you are willing to have a discussion with me, no where else, for the Emperor actually struggles with them. The Emperor, who while the ignorant shall refer to as a god, is but a man defeats them.”
“So they are not powerful enough for you?” Malcador pressed in both a small amount of concern and wonder.
“No, they are not.” TalOS admitted as he glanced back at the man he spoke to, “But that is not the fabric of the situation. The fact is that they are bred from man and not the universe is the greatest defection a God could have.”
Malcador froze for a moment before he gave TalOS a look of complete confusion, “Then what makes a God to you, TalOS?”
“I believe there are several things that could make a god. But the simplest of them is that they were never made, they just are.” TalOS summarized as he began pressing forward, “A God cannot be defeated like these creatures that lurk in the Warp. You tell Malcador that we simply threaten their existence by making people not believe in them. How can such a being be called a god!? A god does not need mankind to survive, they are mankind’s guide!”
And for that Malcador pressed forward the ultimate deciding factor, “So that is what you believe the Machine God does for you?”
“He does.” TalOS declared as he felt a weight taken off his heart that he failed to realize was growing, “The Machine God does not need mankind. He does not demand that the Mechanicus spread themselves through the Galaxy spreading his word. He <span class="mu-i">chose</span> humanity and decided the greatest mission of our existence to be searching for all the knowledge in the Galaxy.”
TalOS felt his senses heightened as he announced his Manifesto to the world. A moment later he finally felt a small pain, “If humanity ever perishes, he will live on as an existence of the universe. Such is the pain of being an immortal being.”
