“I will take any assistance that can be given.” Answered TalOS as he slid a book into his hands, “Are there any articles that discuss Genetic Instability?”
“Yes there are!” He answered without a moment as if he had no need to think, “Two rows down is a tome about the Genocides. Mutants played a part in those genocides.”
“Is that so? Then we shall get started.” TalOS told his fellow student as they quickly began work taking in all the books that were within these chambers.
Book after book was consumed by the two as the day slowly continued to move along. While Ahriman did not have the greatest mind when it came to genetic manipulation it was adequate. It was obvious to TalOS though that the Astartes were out of his element.
Still, insights were gained as the two continued their work together. Not being a geneticist Ahriman was quickly proving himself to be a brilliant Astartes that would be great to capture for the Mechanicum. Sadly, such intellectual theft was only allowed for menials and peasants. An Astartes was simply too large a target for TalOS to swoop up into his holdings.
A pity, TalOS thought.
As they continued the work UZ1 came by with her own stack of books to read. Each of them were war books, while others were history novels about the recent wars upon Terra. When TalOS had a moment to ask her about her scheme she placed it simply”
“If I am able to determine the locations of fallen Kingdoms and determine which of them had the highest levels of technology, I will be able to scavenge the areas in which they rule.”
So the three of them continued past the moment when the chronometers hit midnight and into the next day. Each of them possessing some form of hacked anatomy that allowed them to disregard time. After all, for at least one of them their time here was limited.
