The hangar was depopulated of people, with only the stray machine walking about to make sure that there were no intruders. Each of them were a tad bit slower than normal as TalOS’s sheer presence was enough to influence their scrubbed minds.
TalOS did not need to be on the Throne Mechanicum to continue his research. There was a risk whenever one activates a Titan and TalOS knew that this risk was present far more now than before. He could operate the Imperator Titan on his own, but what would happen in this state he does not know.
Thus he went about the Titan and committed himself to ritual. Maintenance and work which allowed him a series of tastes for the Titan.
He could feel it now, the ever changing spirit that was Particep Semper. The Motive Force in the most primal sense was motion of parts and mechanics, but in its greater forms it became the concept of electricity.
That is what the Motive Force was. The motions of the universe. From the simplest lasgun to entire planets it was the Motive Force which was carried through all of them. It was machines though that allowed man to harvest what could be achieved from the flow of reality.
Holy Oils would be burned in the engine or in Particep Semper’s case the use of reactors. Thus TalOS was within the reactors that he once blessed Particep Semper in. He remembered his Youth easily, seeing the time when he committed a ritual of repair to the Titan that fixed a part of its framework.
It took him several months to reach this point and lessons that needed to be learned. Even as he was a Princep there were a great many things that eluded sight. Such as the sensory framework and the guns themselves were closer to mystery to him until he began the rituals of maintenance upon them.
It was during this work that TalOS noticed something odd. That he lost all feeling to sleep and attempts to induce sleep were alluding him. So he continued his work without issue, the feeling of sleep only coming to him as the hunger pains began to quake. As slow as they came though they left as TalOS held but the hunger that was within his body.
TalOS soon kneeled before the Plasma Reactors and gave a prayer.
