The quality of the Manufactorium was something that TalOS could not even come close to denying. The elegance and power that was placed into the construction of the place was evident as he noticed every piece of framework held some form of artisanship.
The four of them, without any others with them, stepped into an elevator that quickly began picking them up into one of the few spires that overlooked the planet. None spoke as TalOS steadily felt the Infosphere become less and less as they went up.
It seemed this was to be a secured meeting between them all.
Finally the elevator stopped and the four stepped out into a rather homey chamber. TalOS noticed the variety of chairs, sofas, and windows that looked down on the planet itself. The chamber was obviously meant to receive people from the Imperium.
The Priests did not bother with the furnishing, but they did approach the windows so that they could gaze out onto Mars.
+Arch Dominus, it is a pleasure to have you upon Mars. Not only have you, a child of the Omnissiah, come yourself but you bring a warfleet that equals few exhibitionary forces belonging to the Imperium.+ The Fabricator General dictated as he gave a show of his hand, +The one standing next to me if Fabricator Locum Louis Karbringer.+
+Even I myself have yet to speak to a child of the Omnissiah.+ Declared the Fabricator Locum while giving a courteous bow, +It is my honor to be within your precense.+
+And we both reflect that to yourselves.+ TalOS declared as he gave a show of a hand to his right, +This is Adept UZ1, my apprentice and fellow for this meeting.+
+Thank you both for allowing me to attend.+ Declared the Adept while she too gave a bow.
The Fabricator General sent a direct communication to his fellow through what TalOS realized to be a beam based data transfer. Very costly, but it limited the ability for someone like TalOS or UZ1 to tap into their communications for this meeting. TalOS could not fault them for using it though as he and UZ1 had the Noosphere to keep their discussions hidden from these two.
Such were tools for the art of diplomacy. The two seemed to be prepared for a battle as TalOS and UZ1. A simple fact that both sides needed to be careful, for no one wants something to go down with an over hundred ship fleet hanging in high orbit.
