+As I arrived upon this ship our Machine Spirits detected a disheartening amount of Eatheric Radiation attacking your world.+ TalOS began as he produced a small rod from his robes, +That is the reason I wanted to give you this technology first and foremost. It is disheartening to see a fellow Forge World suffer from what Lucius has began to defeat.+
The ocullars of the Magi around TalOS narrowed as they heard such an explanation. There was a subtle spark of light that went from the Fabricator Lord to a nearby Skitarii. As TalOS would guess, the sickly soldier came forward and took from him the item to bring it to the Council.
+The crystal upon the device is something that originated from Lucius’s wars. I have engineered it to be anathema to the presence of the Warp. Activate it and you will feel that I speak truth.+
The Fabricator Lord did not say a thing but instead sent another command to the Skitarii that was holding the item. The Soldier activated the device and suddenly began to stand straighter. TalOS began to hear the movement of information throughout the place and realized it was the hardline communication that the Council shared between one another. The Primarch could get a sense, from that, how impressed they were.
+You grant us this… in return for what…?+ The Fabricator Lord asked as his vox caster seemingly gained more life.
+It is a gift from Lucius. We can organize several thousands to be shipped here, but we cannot give you all the secrets to their creation unless there is trust.+ TalOS declared as he placed a hand over his heart, +Some of our designs are sensitive, you understand.+
+Such things… are… understandable.+ The Fabricator Lord declared as he gave a solemn nod, +You wish… to become allies?+
+Maybe even more than that.+ TalOS declared as he made a wave of his hand, +I will admit at this time Lucius is at war. We are fighting the Mitu Collective for dominance in our sector. While I for sure have the support of my Legion I do not think it is enough. But I know that the era of War is only just that, a finite time. After this era we will have peace and from what I learned this Forge World does indeed have potential. You have feigned Mars off for this long after all.+
+You wish… for us to… join you under Mars… or become vassals to you?+ The Lord Fabricator announced as he gave a solemn sigh, +We… cannot do such a thing. We… have seen… too much.+
Those final words spoken somehow struck a chord with TalOS. It was a cord that allowed him to realize something was there that they shared.
