It was after those words that the Emperor spoke. His words came out as clear as day but it was obvious deep down he did not approve of what was being discussed. A stable realm however was built on compromise and understanding.
“I shall allow the Mechanicum its seat upon the Council, but with certain restrictions in place.” The Emperor set forth with the same matter a Necron Overlord set forth his laws, “First is that they shall become an official Adeptus. Second, the Mechanicum shall have few privileges in exchange for the needed autonomy between itself and the Imperium. Lastly, you must allow innovation from the mind.”
TalOS felt like each of those were reasonable. Even the last one, innovation, was something that the Mechanicum was still in a way doing. The becoming of an Adeptus would be exactly what was needed for it to give the Mechanicum its seat upon the High Lords of Terra.
The reason the agreement was not furnished was not a thought of TalOS but of Calibre. The AI who had stayed so quiet for so long throughout the entire conversation decided that this was the moment to speak.
“I don’t think that last part is the best idea.” The AI spoke in terms that should only be allowed by those who have souls, “Don’t agree to it. We can learn more later.”
In an instant TalOS realized the obfuscation that the AI tried to play at and failed at. AIs were not connected to the warp so senses like foreboding and other forms of accidental divination could not occur.
He knew something, but also didn’t. A theory without reasoning behind it. It was like knowing a person after several nights of alcohol without remembering how the two of you met.
>Agree to it
>We can delay this till later, brush out the details (AE; this is being resolved after the Heresy)
>Decline the offer.
