Everyone within the room felt the room change to something that could closely be called a simmering anger. The source of this anger was none other than the Emperor of Mankind, whose glare would kill Tyberos if he really wished it to do so. But the Emperor held back his wrath for vigilante justice was not the purpose of the Imperium.
<span class="mu-s">“Tyberos,”</span> the voice of the Emperor rocked the world as he leaned forward towards his son, <span class="mu-s">“Under your command your Astartes have killed fifty eight thousand men and women who were upon your vessel. You yourself have been recorded to have killed at the very least one hundred of these souls.”</span>
There was anger with every word. Each of these words were empowered by the might of his mind which reinforced the heavy weight that he was placing upon everyone within the room. It was only his ideals that were keeping him back, and for that his sons would help demonstrate those ideas as the court of Tyberos’s peers.
<span class="mu-s">“As your crime was committed in a region of conflict it shall be the war council that judges your fate with my approval. Such is the fate of all who commit atrocities like this one under my name.”</span> Thus the Precedent was created by decree of the Emperor. None can now argue the power that the Council holds for their power to judge a peer was anointed by the Emperor.
<span class="mu-s">“Primarchs of my Legions, what shall be the punishment of Tyberos?”</span>
“We should kill him.” To beat everyone to the draw was Konrad Curze, or how he wished to be known, the Night Haunter. If it was not Konrad then TalOS was sure none of their brothers would have voiced their desire to do anything to Tyberos. Even if they did not know him for very long he was still their brother.
TalOS was quite sure the reason this was Vulcan was not present at this event. Of all their brothers it would have been Vulcan who might have tried to interrupt the proceedings because of his large heart. TalOS pitied and somewhat understood his brother. Understanding the desire to not face down the death of another brother by his own demand no less.
“Konrad, we are not here to kill another brother!” Declared Horus as he almost rose from his seat, “We have already lost one brother to the Xenos swarms that attempted to kill us, I will not lose another brother to Russ’s Axe!”
And the one who started the debate was Horus Lupercal. To think that of all people it would be Horus who actively set out some sort of debate was mind boggling, but TalOS did not need to think hard to realize why.
Horus, deep down, was much like Vulcan. He did not like to deal with debates of violence, preferring to persuade his brothers. Such reason was because he did in somewhat enjoy his brothers.
