“So… DNA is a divine script?” Ahriman asked with a small bit of skepticism.
The Primarch placed a finger in the place of his book, “It is how the Mechanicus identifies it. We recognized that every single creature in the world is a repository of that divine script. Humans of course are gifted with the greatest, for it allows us to develop reasoning and thus Divinity. It is thought that Divine Script is understood after all.”
“I see.” The sound of skepticism were evident within the voice of Ahriman but the man gave a small nod, “So for Astartes our Geneseed is the Primary Override?”
“It is. It rewrites the script of an individual so that the organs that were placed into their body will begin their function. Anytime before they are dormant lest the body attempts to reject them outright.” TalOS declared as he pointed to another book, “That does not mean the process cannot be sped up as this book suggests faster changes, but I believe the reason it's this way is so that the aspirants can also be trained.”
“I see.” Ahriman said as he took another look, “And to modify the Geneseed, we will need to modify the entire organ system.”
“Yes.” TalOS admitted as his machine spirits gave a small hum, “‘Genetic Instability of Mutants’ and ‘Limb addicts of the Pacific Plate’ both point out that with every modification issues can occur. Many of those who took new arms seem to have a greater chance of failure with the changes. I think it can be minimized, but the body must still accept the new coding of its own choice.”
“I see…” TalOS noticed that the Fifteenth Legionnaire looked a little depressed as he took one of those books, “We need to continue looking, surely there is something.”
As he said that TalOS was signaled of Custodians entering the hall by one of the Steel Wardens positioned outside. TalOS took a moment to look at the time as he gave a small chuckle, “I will not be able to join you all for any longer it seems.”
“Time to return to Lucius.” UZ1 said with a solemnace within her voice, “I’ll miss you.”
“Same here UZ1. Send whatever you find back.” TalOS said as he walked over and patted her on the head, “Ahriman, if you find any information you think would be useful to me send it over.”
“I will.” He said with what TalOS thought was a little regret in his voice.
