Sanctus Dominus TalOS DAV1S looked out upon the hordes of Man from the top of Particep Semper. He could feel the subtle hum of all the people cheering for him above the forever humming of Particep Semper’s plasma reactors.
For years he had been away from Lucius on campaign across the stars. With every day he advanced the borders of the Federation to reclaim what humanity had lost during the age of its great Empire.
He was just like his Father, TalOS took a moment to realize. For just like his father TalOS had an immense need to conquer what was around him. As for what ends there were, TalOS felt they might differ.
The Emperor of Mankind wished to bring about a unification of Humanity, to bring it out of the darkness and into the light of enlightenment.
TalOS however did not conquer all of humanity but the Mechanicus and its allies. He pushed the Reconquista to all edges of the system, causing each of their borders to be shared not by foul Xenos but instead the Imperial to whom a tight alliance was forged in faith. For TalOS, who was not influenced by such a school of thought, knew that once the realization is made it will be an alliance TalOS wishes to keep in blood. Somehow TalOS knew that unless the worst comes, the Emperor will never bring himself to strike against his own creation.
In this parade of triumph over the Xenos TalOS knew that they were expecting the Sanctus Dominus to speak. The words of one who forsaked his birthright only to forge a force rumored to be equal to that of his own creators.
TalOS knew that at one point that was the case, but now the Reconquista was over. A great part of his army had laid down their blades for the mining equipment and forges.
Now he must tend to the Federation that he created with the help of so many others. So many different peoples and sects populating a sector that only a few months ago was in total war.
What he did and said now was important. While a foundation was created it would need to be set firm by the hands of himself and those that assisted in its construction. But this final moment before the Title of Sanctus Dominus becomes ceremonial, TalOS can set the path for this Federation forward.
>Unity, make sure that every knows that while they won there will be a great many forces that attempt to divide them for future conquest.
>Bring about praises for oneself, to forge a personality that many can look towards.
>A demonstration of the great power of the Mechanicum, showing that the Mechanicum will need to fight to keep what it has gained in this era.
