I'm so excited to see other forge worlds. Wonder where we'll go and what we'll be doing.
So far, we've tested out Talos:
-Ability at fleet warfare and army command
-Skill at researching Pariah technology
-Some limited xenos studies (Ork Language, Mitu experience)
-And of course, Genetor Supersoldier skills
While we've delved a teeny bit into admech politics, it hasn't been specifically one of his focus.
Something we've yet to test is his skill in hacking and counter-hacking. There hasn't been a need for higher security and anti-data djinn measures yet, since we're on Lucius among our people and Mezoa was one of us.
(theoretically, the Emperor or Horus ship could have harbored some Dark Age stuff that might have gone past even Talos. But in lore there's not much to suggest this, the Emperor's Custodes thing was tech scramblers and the Vadus Assasins aren't created yet.) But on other forge worlds where we are an outsider? Likely the moment we so much as come within range of their noosphere, someones might try and probe us for info.
Maybe that's a good moment for Talos to show his Primarch superiority. Like Magnus facing down a cabal of psykers or Lorgar challenging his planets priests in a theological sermon. Imagine whole forge world dedicates its most powerful machine spirits, legions of data-djinn and its best augmented minds to pry into all of Talos secrets, and he doesn't even blink as he rebuffs them all like Magnus mentally waving his hand and telling pitiful spells and minor imps to suck it.
