Perturabo, in a sense, still could not believe what he was seeing before his very eyes. His brother, who was killed by his own hand, was alive once again. His mind still could not really believe it but his instincts quickly began acting upon themselves.
Just as their brother Vulkan had done so many times before, Perturabo had embraced his brother in a hug.
They were only like that for a moment as Perturabo slowly regained his sense. Why had he just hugged his brother, well that was because he allowed his emotions to overcome him. He did not regret it though, only that he lost control and did it without even realizing it.
“Perturabo.” Was the first word a newly reconstructed TalOS said as he gave a soft smile, “I apologies for that, there are still some issues with my nanites that need to be fixed. As for what you have seen; that is what the Machine God gave me.”
Perturabo studied his brother long and hard as to process the words that were said. He wondered for that instant just what he was to say to such an explanation and how stupid it was. But then again…
“That… that was a blessing from your ‘god’.” Perturabo for a moment almost regretted succumbing to the folly of his mind before. Was it really the Machine God looking upon him or simply a symptom of that sorcery?
“The Machine God was the first to give me a peek into the truth of the Universe, a peek into what truly is the Motive Force.” TalOS declared as he placed a hand upon his chest, “I do not think you should be able to fully understand just yet. Only that it is a truth that not even the Emperor understands.”
Perturabo would have accused his brother of more religious dogma and talk, but for once he could not rationalize why. It was not the warp for Perturabo did not have a tang upon his tongue nor did he feel displaced. Instead what had happened was something both <span class="mu-i">other and normal</span>.
“We will… talk about this later.” Perturabo said as he shook his head and looked towards the corpse of his dead Sister, “The line of Dammekos is dead. Even if I did not touch her, my Sister died of my anger. In that there is not longer a person who will govern the planet unless I choose to elect someone. That is, unless your powers work upon her.”
“It will not for she did not embrace the Crux Mechanicus. My abilities do not stretch to those who clinged themselves so tightly to flesh that the Machine God’s mercy could be given.” His brother said as he patted Perturabo upon the shoulders, “I am sorry that I cannot give you such a blessing.”
