With his conversation with his brother done TalOS stood before everyone. As if a ghost had entered the room they all looked upon TalOS with sudden shock. Each of them probably wondered why they did not notice such a giant being standing within the room.
The Fabricator General did not pay heed, “I thank you all for coming today to Lochos! I, Fabricator General TalOS DAV1S, wish to see each of you for the purpose of hearing your reasoning for rebellion.”
There was talk among them all as if the word was scandalous. In that moment TalOS noted how each of them were split by a simple arm band of either red or blue, likely a factional indicator. But according to what Perturabo said they really did not need it. They wore those only to make a statement to the otherside.
“W-we of the East Thennan League are not rebelling!” declared one of the Envoys as he stepped forward, “We wish to continue to follow the Emperor and his guiding light! If the Son of the Gods Perturabo would talk to us, I am sure we could easily come to an agreement!”
“Do not listen to them!” shouted the other side, “We of the West Henatics see the truth of the matter. The Imperium cannot last, and for that we are seeking both the Mechanicus and Perturabo’s assistance in taking it down!”
To think that they would say something like that out loud. Their league had good reason to not come here in person it seems.
Perturabo remained silent as he judged each of them. That burning anger he felt so long ago had gone out though, instead leaving with a subtle annoyance of practicality.
“My Lords, do not listen to those of the west!” Shouted one of the blue wearing easterners, “They do not realize the mercy that the Emperor had given to Olympia and the good it has brought. They have simply seen the issues that we have suffered to be of such significance that the Imperium should end.”
“And what would be those grievances?” TalOS asked.
