TalOS decided to give the Fifteenth Legionnaire a small laugh as a phantom smile crossed over the still metal face, “So you wish to look into Genecraft. It is an admirable field, one that I am very proficient in.”
“Is that so my Lord?” Ahriman asked for clarification for his tone showed he could hardly believe the words that were spoken.
“Yes, I feel that I inherited it from my creator. A desire to create sons and warriors that would serve me far into the future.” TalOS said as he gave a small laugh, “Such a desire was so deeply ingrained into my being that I created the Acillians without the slightest hint of knowing the Astartes existed.”
“That is wonderful.” Ahriman said with awe shown, “So you have looked into the Astartes gene?”
“Not as close a look as I would have wanted.” The Genetor admitted as he gave a solemn sigh, “The days of war are only just now ending for me. I have done what I wished and will be retiring to the rear for that exact research.”
“You have only been around for five years.” Ahriman said as he looked upon TalOS with a clear confusion, “Why would you leave such a glorious front? To choose retirement!”
TalOS gave a somewhat hearty laugh as he heard those words, “Azekh Ahriman, I ask you, why would you be so offended by my words.”
TalOS watched with a small bit of delight as the Psyker was now winded from the amount of emotions that he was changing. Maybe it was the presence of the Blackstone that sucked his energy away. Such a thing was planned, even if TalOS wanted to have a decent conversation he was always wary of psykers.
“It is because it that; offensive.” He finally said as he took a long breath, “Your brothers are fighting the greatest war ever known to man and yet you willingly place yourself away from it. It's…”
“As if I am betraying what I really am?” TalOS suggested as a way of tying the thoughts of Ahriman together into a cohesive whole.
“Yes. That would be it.” Ahriman admitted as he slowly corrected his posture and had a newfound respect.
