Codes were given and protocols administered between the two entities. TalOS gave them the tidings and datafiles of the outside galaxy that was so much greater than what they could have known. TalOS wondered what these people thought about when they were first contacted by a fellow human empire, let alone those who follow the Machine god. The glory and honor to know that they are not the remnants of a fallen Empire.
Whatever they thought, they gave TalOS permission to enter their airspace and then their station.
Vessels were traded and TalOS felt his Stormbird rattle under the pressure of the moon’s surprisingly decent atmosphere. The Primarch stepped forward and a pair of door opened to reveal a pair of human Tech Priests.
They both gave their bows as did TalOS, a sign of reverence for each other as they honored the same God in all of its glory.
+Fabricator General TalOS of Lucius, it is my honor to welcome you to Galath. We wondered if there will ever be a time when we meet our fellow men from among the stars.+ He admitted as his head rose, +I am Fabricator General Mani, and it appears its time has come to once again join the fold.+
+So you seek membership, but to whom will you join?+ TalOS asked the Priest as he knew such words had many meanings.
+We seek membership in your Federation.+ The Fabricator General announced as he placed a hand over his chest, +We do not wish to trouble ourselves with the will of Mars and wish to keep most of our autonomy if that can be given.+
+That can be considered and likely given.+ TalOS told his fellow, knowing how hard it is to subvert the will of Mars when alone like they are, +I welcome you to the Federation.+
The man gave a nod and extended a hand for them to shake. An agreement that will last for a little bit of time at least.
