+The day that you became what you are now, we all felt a sudden sharp pain upon our souls.+ Answered the Astartes as he pressed his hand upon his chest, +It reminded me of a wound I took upon Terra, where a Techno Barbarian struck my shoulder with a deep gouge. I had to pull the weapon free from my shoulder, and the pain that I felt pulling that weapon out was what that day also felt like.+
+Were there any issues besides a joint experience?+ TalOS questioned as he looked upon his son closely.
+There were no deaths, but a few found themselves coming close to insanity. The experience of having been torn was too much for many, and some found that they were lacking something that they once had. In the time we began our mass exodus to find you, we were lost.+ The Astartes admitted as he looked at TalOS with a sense of drained sorrow.
+I see, before I was acting as the head of everyone. Did the Acillians bring you any assistance?+ TalOS asked as he pressed another question.
+They did. Augmentations helped in filling that hole that was left within us, and it was also the time a great many of our Dreadnaughts began to walk among us again to help guide.+ The Astartes put forward, +Unlike many of us who were debilitated, they were of greater functioning. They did not fully lose what we had, which did not go unnoticed among the Acillians. I allowed a few who had not received catastrophic battle damage to be entombed, and they informed me that they once again felt like they had.+
That was a moment of interest for TalOS. Indeed what they were all experiencing was symptoms of separation from Particep Semper more than from TalOS. After all one of the ways to recover from Titan Death was to becoming one with another Machine Spirit.
+What is the current status of conversion?+ TalOS asked as he was very interested in the answer.
+We are maintaining lower than standard requirements for becoming a dreadnaught, which has been swelling out armored ranks. We are running low on the machines, but you will remedy that.+
>Yes, let's keep it like that
>We are increasing it further. Even healthy Astartes can become Dreadnaughts
>Keep the values lower than normal.
