“So this creation, this throne, is what started this entire Crusade?” TalOS dared as he took another glance over the entire construct and its workings, “There is more to this. I can see why such a powerful figure is needed but simply using the image of Godhood to light the Warp is not enough. There is a lot of power in this machine that could turn the tide of any war.”
“Indeed there is.” Admitted Malcador as he gave a moment of solace, “But somethings must be kept secret.”
A sudden thought of confusion washed over TalOS as he heard those words, “So it has another function, and you do not wish to speak of it. Would it be a failsafe that in case the Imperium fails my Creator will ascend? It would be reasonable, if dangerous.”
“It will not come to that.” Snapped Malcador to what TalOS thought was a reasonable line of thought, “We would have failed completely if that was our outcome. Do not mention such a possible outcome to the Emperor or your brothers lest you become censored.”
TalOS kept quiet for a moment as he realized the power of Malcador was starting to show. If he was his brother TalOS would have barked back and he definitely had a flair from Particep Semper to increase that desire. But he was a Priest of the Mechanicus, while he did not rid himself of emotions he first learned to control them.
“I see, so indeed the Imperial Truth is what my Father desires.” TalOS said with a hint of mechanical serenity in his voice, “Then what is the secondary function?”
Malcador looked upon TalOS for a moment of hesitation. A weighing of options and of his character. TalOS was a Primarch, but this secret must have held so much weight that it should not be known by any who dared…
“Are you afraid of my mind being read?” TalOS asked as he came about a revelation.
To those words Malcador gave a small chuckle, one that was both wary and full of age. It came like a curse to the old man as he spoke, “By both each other, and our greatest foes.”
<span class="mu-i">Our Greatest Foes</span> were words that TalOS realized were very deliberate.
“I see.” Was all TalOS said as he knew in that moment they were speaking of those Evil Gods that live in the warp. He will not learn more of this Throne from Malcador, but…
>What of the Evil Gods?
>Understand that some things really do need to be kept secret.
I do not know if I should be giving you all this choice. It is, truly, an inevitable one.
