The room was silent for a moment as the Tech Priests processed the information for themselves. The Fabricator General looked around the room with the power and authority afforded to one such as him. It was rivaled by that of the Commander who stood at the center but without Horus actively pushing his presence the Fabricator General was able to grab everyone’s attention.
“Commander Horus of the Imperium, Lucius does not stand above all others but is instead one in a burgeoning Federation of our system. We have all recognized that we cannot face the horrors of this galaxy by ourselves and instead join together.” The Fabricator General made a jester with his withered hands about the room, “As Lucius provides logistical and production support Helmnet provides the raw human capital for our war machine. Dutonis provides to us a vital source of both adamantium as well as the peerless Knights that prowl surface battles. Even Mezoa, scorched by war, provided us with knowledge to face our new enemies.”
The Fabricator General finished his jesters and returned his hand to the desk before him, “We are united and thus Lucius cannot one sidedly agree to join an Empire like yours or of Mars.”
In truth there was an irony in this TalOS realized. In truth the Federation has not fully solidified and only through trade via Lucius did they exercise this connection. Later down the line TalOS would like to organize a ruling body but the fact was War took precedence. To join the Imperium would ironically be the first decision of this makeshift ruling.
It is said though that adversity and outside pressures do unite a people.
“That is understandable, Fabricator General. I have read what scarce reports generated after the battle all of you have bled for this union between peoples.” Horus declared as he now turned his attention to the entire room as a whole, “My fellows in humanity, what I bring to you is a chance to join in the Great Crusade and the rest of Humanity as a whole! As part of the Mechanicum you shall be serving alongside the Emperor in his conquest of the Milky Way Galaxy!”
As he spoke TalOS could not deny the sense of Fervor that was within the voice. He remembered reading records of Kings addressing entire parliaments upon Dutonis and through sheer might of his prestige being able to make his word law.
The man before him was able to take the room with a single bound of his voice. With someone like him representing the Imperium, TalOS would not be surprised if everyone does indeed choose to join the Imperium in their goal to unite humanity.
