>For such actions, you will become House Borgius’ first Princep and a Titan to match such an honor.Thinking it over, Borgias can't really complain. We can justify it by saying that looking over the medicae files it struck us by display of his willpower that he is princeps worthy, a one in a million chance.
Even if he hadn't been honorable and had been just a kid we found on the street that survived a fist fight, if a Primarch notices you can become a Princeps you are going to become a Princeps. Him being a knight and being able to bring honor to his house is a bonus. Like being a psyker or a null, you don't just leave that you find the black ships or the black ships are going to find you.
It will mean more years of training, more surgeries, it will mean Frederick will be away from the war for a time and leave about his Knights from the high throne of a Titan chair but never truly stand at their side again, a chance to make new friends and new comrades in the college but not be a Knight no longer. It may even mean his son will need to be trained to be a knight by another man other than himself, as he will need to focus his efforts on his skill as a Princeps. But we can give him the consolation, hopefully, by secretly telling him we have notice that his rival Alexander is also Princeps worthy.
And if he isn't going to become a Titan Pilot, is he going to let Alexander become one before him?
>>5256773It may set a dangerous precedent in our case. We aren't just making two Titan legions from scratch, we are also showing that its perfectly okay to take members of a Knights house and induct them into the Collegia. In the best of case, it will encourage more collusion among the houses but in the worst case it might encourage the Collegia to start trying to recruit or even poach knights away from their houses.
But, typically, knight houses are more than capable of defending themselves and truth be told I doubt there would be many knight houses who would reject the opportunity for at least one of their members to earn the honor of becoming a Princeps.
>>5256774Is there no love for the Acastus? It's the biggest knight of all! Sure its standard format is for long range firepower, but who says Talos has to follow standard design when it comes to anything.
We're already integrating teleportation technology into them.
It also probably kills gargants better.
