TalOS did have to be careful about his next words. To be outright against Mars would surely go around and ruin the Primarch’s already stained reputation with the Red Planet. No he needed to be coy and give something that would be much more easily accepted by anyone who did not think too deeply into his intentions.
+I am on a Pilgrimage throughout the realm of the Mechanicum.+ TalOS declared as he gave a wave of the hand, +I am hoping my travels will grant me some form of insight when the time comes return to war against the Mitu Collective.+
+Seeking enlightenment through a pilgrimage… that is an admirable goal Arch Dominus TalOS.+ The man spoke as they continued on their way through what TalOS noticed was a viewing platform.
+It is something that I need to do. It will only improve my chances in succeeding in my Reconquista against the Mitu.+ The Primarch admitted while placing a hand on his chest.
+Reconquista?+ The Fabriactor General caught those words with the accuacy TalOS would always expect of a Tech Priest.
+They are Federation Lands are they not.+ TalOS pointed out as he looked over the edge into the gas giant that was below.
+You seek… to attain succession from the Federation of Terra?+
TalOS gave a solemn nod as he heard those words, +It is simply a question on our right to rule. Times were tough and we needed to unite as a people against the dark gods and their minions that plagued our part of the Galaxy. Our right to rule comes from being a successor of the previous government to rule the stars, the Federation of Terra.+
+So you identify as the Federation of Lucius.+
+Indeed.+ TalOS declared as he turned back from the calm clouds of the gas giant, +Lucius is the one who started the Federation, just like Terra. Thus we have a right to name it after ourselves.+
The Fabricator General next to TalOS simply gave a nod as he understood the scheme, +Your Creator, the Omnissiah, did not see it fit to claim the Galaxy under those words. He instead declared that the Galaxy was Man’s by right and no others. No ancient Empire or invoking his own Divinity, but the simple act of us being humans.+
TalOS could not help but tell a moment of admiration in the eyes of the Tech Priest at that moment. It was just like TalOS when he spoke of the Machine God.
