TalOS thought to himself long and hard. That there were two fates before him that the Primarch needed to take into consideration.
The first was that he joined Kelbor Hal and grew his influence across the Mechanicum. A dream to become a master of the Crusade that could lend an immense force to the effort. Such an aim would yield to TalOS an immense amount of prestige as well as knowledge unmatched by any in the universe.
Such a fate would be fitting for a Primarch, especially when the fates turn towards him and give the Primarch a chance to ascend to the Martian Throne. In that single moment TalOS would be equal to his Father, the leader of all Legios and Forge Worlds that were within the Galaxy.
“I will not leave a project unfinished.” TalOS finally spoke with the firmness and determination of a naturally born leader, “There is no reason for me to play games with Kelbor Hal and Mars when Lucius is my home. After all, that is their ultimate aim after all.+
Alpharius gave a small chuckle as he heard those words, unbelief written on his face as he looked upon TalOS for the moment. He shined a smile though as if the joke that occured within his mind was enough to break through his own slyness into something more genuine.
“You sound of Russ.+ Declared Alpharius as he shook his head, “To Russ his home is not Terra but Fenris. He would say how the planet itself was the thing that raised him into the man that he is. You are no different from him.”
“Is that such a wrong thing?” TalOS asked as he tried his best to mimic the same smile the 20th was giving him, “None can deny that Russ is capable and I believe him to be brilliant as well.”
Those words caused a true genuine laugh to come from Alpharius as he heard that, “Russ to be intelligent, he is a barbarian.”
“So you too underestimate Russ?”
“If that is what you call it. I was among the Wolves for a few weeks to learn about our brother. I cannot discern reasoning and logic from his death world induced insanity.” Alpharius declared as he finished with a grin, “He even failed to ‘sniff’ me out when I was among his Housecarls.”
“Then we will disagree, for I have seen our brother’s accomplishments in chemical refining. While the Death World has not sharpened his mind to the activities like you are myself, we were all created in the same chamber from the same genome.”
“Indeed.” The Twentieth said with a modicum of annoyance.
