>>5269121Truth be told, barring the Silent King himself, and of course this is just wild speculation. . .fuck Trazyn. You know who I think Talos would, if somehow you got past his extreme necron superiority complex and xenophobia, find the most interesting? Orikan. Possibly one of the greatest scientific minds the galaxy has ever seen, short of a C'tan itself. The cryptek who wields science as if it were magic and can do all that Magnus can without the warp. He can forsee everything, even the schism.
Its a wild stretch but, maybe because his foresight is always befuddled by the warp and warp anomalies, Talos desire to see more rifts closed and warp regions suppressed may expand his vision and thus give reason for Orikan to converse with a human. Though, I doubt it. Trazyn was the more diplomatic type, but Trazyn is bloody Trazyn I wouldn't trust him to try and gnab us if he had the chance. Admittedly he has the fancy tesseract tech specialty. A pocket army would serve Talos nicely.
But then, so would any amount of chronoscience. How often does Talos lack the time to do all he pleases, or how much could a few extra minutes save his life from an otherwise fatal blow?
Anyway, I don't see a path yet that would cause us to come across each other let alone on such good terms as to start a budding friendship between a being millions of years old and one only a few decades. Blink of an eye in necron time.
Talos would never ever bow down to a Xenos willingly (except maybe to save his skin or the Mechanicum). But I imagine seeing Orikan wield such science would bring tears even to his eyes, like that scene in Overlord but with much less kowtowing.
