“Good, <span class="mu-i">good</span>” The communication was not standard to TalOS. He somehow interpreted it as speech but it was certainly not speech for their current reality did not allow such words spoken. Even a digital signal, if released, could become a weapon of mass destruction.
Empathetic communication through the Motive Force. That was the answer TalOS received from Calibre who also could not communicate in this realm easily. TalOS did not pay a thought to the AI’s use of Mechanicum terms, for he needed to realize how to talk back.
“Do not trouble yourself, for right now you are the silent student. This field was a necessity we needed to arrange because of the time constraints you have placed me under.” Orikan delivered those words to TalOS in what might have been joy, “If you try anything we will both die inside of it, and unlike me you have no chance of survival when we temporally implode. I will say, find joy in the fact that I have only achieved such a powerful time distortion field with the assistance of other Chronomancers, meaning you are their better.”
The missing words being that Orikan was still better than TalOS. As always, the viper would sneak in a bit when he could.
“Now then, I do not think we will have enough time to achieve the same distortion field again so we will commit ourselves to the greater of theories. Be prepared, TalOS, for we are to devote the next century to teaching you astral projection. Once you see reality through more… true eyes you will come to understand everything the energies of the galaxy have to offer you.”
Orikan might have wanted to see some form of reaction from TalOS but none were given. A century meant roughly twelve years of absence. While he was admittedly tricked into this by a devilish tutor, TalOS had expected something like this would happen after the first two weeks of lessons. Luckily for TalOS, he had placed the competent in charge of the Mechanicum.
UZ1 can manage his affairs and the simple explanation that TalOS had taken a Pilgrimage would placate all involved. Many knew of TalOS’s research into the Motive Force, so when it was said that TalOS went out to investigate his knowledge further it was seen as the greatest action a person of the Mechanicum could make.
The exploration of knowledge, and the deepening of it. If only TalOS could at some point teach even an ounce of what he now knows to his people it would all be worth it.
No more thoughts came from TalOS now. As the Primarch began examining the thoughts, motions, and technique of Orikan the Diviner.

>Spy upon those known.
