Gone were the numerous halls or other peoples, the two Fabricator Generals were now totally alone without support. Such a risk TalOS knew could hurt him but he also felt there was no danger here. Readings showed that the Warp was weak here and TalOS knew any weapons these Galvinites could use would not kill him instantly. To ignore the fact that if they did anything, their moon would be destroyed by the cruisers that hung in orbit.
Fabricator Mani sat down and looked upon TalOS solemnly, +We are the descendants of the Kunor Expedition, one of thousands who attempted to brave the Noctis Labyrinth in search of Saint Moravec’s Vault.+
TalOS felt a shift in his very soul upon the declaration of such a name. Records in both the archives of Mars and Lucius have spoken of several failed journeys into the depths of the Noctis Labyrinth. How ruin befell every forge that dared to walk amongst the ruins of their numerous fellow explorers.
What was said to be within that Labyrinth is among rumor and superstition. Now that the conversation had tilted in this direction TalOS realized that it surely held the reason that they fled. But…
+Are you sure you wish to give this secret to me?+ TalOS asked his Vassal straight off with a firm declaration of thought, +What you say today… it might bring a schism.+
+That is the reason we fled Mars. What was found down will lead to a schism that will shred the entire Mechanicum in two.+ Mani told his Lord in agreement, +As for why we tell you this, Fabricator General TalOS, is that we wish for you to know it and believe it the only time we can say it. That you are not led by the Heresy of our Founders.+
+Your words… what do you wish in exchange?+ The Fabricator General of Lucius asked.
+That while you internalize our words, you also do not speak them to others of this. We want this known, but not so well known that the schism sheers us apart for the Emperor of Mankind.+
>It shall be given.
>Know there are others I trust who will know, I vow no silence.
>I cannot keep this secret in good conscience, do not speak it to me.
