The two of them were silent for a moment as thoughts went between each other. Ideas were the foundation of reasoning, the same as reasoning was the foundation of comprehension.
Which was to hold to more, an ideal or transformation. To become the Crux Mechanicum was something that few Priests would find honor in, which so many others would see as the apex of existence. Still others would accept the state of TalOS as a true machine, something so close to the Machine God that it would be foolish not to see him as one of its Prophets.
+The greatest of our people are not the mega-machines that roam the planets of Mars.+ UZ1 placed forward as she began her speech, +They are too zealous to be practical. They are not our greatest masters and explorers in the galaxy. Those who are truly that are people like Arkhan. Thus, to become like a Machine is not a demonstration of comprehension but veneration of vanity.+
+Vanity of Mechanization, to become so much like the machines that you control that you simply become one yourself.+ TalOS pressed forward with ideas and thoughts already forming within his powerful mind.
UZ1 gave a nod to those words before she spoke, +I had heard tales of Priests who were the sizes of workshops and those who had become like the Knights that serve Lucius. But they do not leave their homes and instead wallow in continued development. What I see are people like you or I, those who have kept the form of man and continue to strive for the will of man.+
+It was the Machine God who chose mankind, not the Machines who mankind ruled upon.+ TalOS said with an illusion towards the men of Iron who attempted to destroy all that had existed.
+He has and will continue to do so.+ UZ1 declared with a firm nod of understanding, +When shall we get started?+
+Right now.+ TalOS said as he picked up the bottle of blackened matter, +Get me growth vats and a few servitors. I will need to get some converted biomass to prepare my regeneration from machine back to man.+
+It shall be done.+ UZ1 said as she sent a series of requests to the Ship’s storage.
