Time went forward as TalOS continued his investigation of the Galaxy. TalOS had been with the Crusade for almost the entire length it had been existing, and for that he was the one to notice that the feelings around the Crusade were starting to change.
When it was early it seemed that the Imperium might not succeed. That the Galaxy was against them at every turn of events. Let it be the Rangdan or the Mitu Conglomerate, all of these forces were pushing against the Great Crusade in an attempt to dampen the dreams of the Emperor of Mankind.
That has changed now, the note being struck the moment Alpharius decided it was time to reveal himself. Alpharius decided to reveal himself to Horus, the ‘First’, upon his own flagship in an boarding action. Upon doing this the Alpha Legion’s Primarch was revealed for all to see. Just as soon as he was revealed the Primarch however disappeared, and as such TalOS was not able to send any real invitation to his ‘long lost’ brother.
The change now, with all twenty Primarchs known, was that the Imperium could no longer lose. That there was enoughs strength within the Imperium to face off against all the horrors it could see. And to that, they were correct.
What was once a restricted space, Ullanor was now being circled by Imperium Warships. Regions where the greatest of Xeno Empires were formed were now being attacked in pairs of two or three Primarchs who would exterminate the race from existence.
With this new found bravado the workings of Terra were changing. As one of those on the outside of the Crusade TalOS was traveling more and more to places like Terra to help Malcador organize a form of bureaucratic administration. To add to that, there was the sending of what could be described as Historians across the Armies, their title officially being Remembrancer.
Their quantities were small but recruitment was ongoing. Within thirty years TalOS could see the Sigillite sending them to almost every single Legion as a way to award the sons of the Emperor. After all, the wars have been won, and for that such legendary tales Warriors will never appear again.
TalOS did not think this. Every year that ticked by was another tick towards the time in which he was blind. TalOS’s skills with the Motive Force had become immense, but even though he was growing this skill his ability to see had not increased. And as TalOS could not rest, the entirety of the Mechanicum was also becoming restless.
