TalOS had to ponder to himself for a moment as he wondered just what should be done here. Each of these methods were useful, even the starkest considering that TalOS would need to break a vow of silence in order to placate his liege.
It was a heavy consideration that carried weight. In doing this TalOS would help Kelbor Comprehend what it was the Emperor was doing and why the nature of the Religious question was being put off. Why in truth the Machine God was much more earthly than what was previously thought and that the Emperor had brokered a deal with the Divine being.
He was against this though. If nothing else than it will become the leak that might be the spark of the times to come. He would not allow the Chaos Gods to influence others by a mistake that TalOS had made.
+We need to aim for integration.+ TalOS declared finally as he nodded towards his fellow, +We are too exposed to the decision from the outside if we do not have any representation in building a new government. As this is the case, we need to immediately reach out to Malcador.+
+Will he and the Emperor allow us such ties?+ The words were spoken in both interest and anticipation. It was indeed one which harbored some danger in the Mechanicum exposing themselves in this fashion.
+I cannot guarantee that the Emperor will look upon us in a different light to all the other faiths. I do not think the Emperor will allow religion fully within his empire, but our conduct has been well within acceptable standards.+ TalOS informed his Suzerain, +I think that is our best angle of persuasion. But it does not mean we need to fully integrate now, just that we get a foot within the door.+
+The Machine is Immortal.+ Kelbor Hal grew a somewhat devious expression upon saying those words, +There have been a few within the current administration that underestimated the decades long schemes we are capable of. When the Emperor becomes distant and Malcador faces mortality, we will still be here.+
+Then that is our goal. Even if its a single seat, if precedent is set, then we shall be able to press ourselves against the framework for security.+ TalOS said as a course of action was set, +Now we must see what the Emperor allows.+
