TalOS felt a question come upon him but the Primarch did not stop there. He could not because he did not have all of his sons on his side. Sure they will follow him for they are his sons. He did not however want simple followers.
“My Sons, in my discussion and study of both Horus and Leman Russ I had noticed that these Sons of the Emperor barely had our fellow man in their presence. Upon further research I found it rare that you played host to any beings that were not of your augmented status. Today I tell each and every one of you that you will no longer operate under such parameters.”
TalOS wiped out his hand towards the Manufactorium that he stood upon, “Here, in this facility, I do not create your brothers, the Acillians, but millions of Skitarii. To serve the Machine God you will understand that you are no longer the spear head. No longer the blessed warriors. No longer the final solution that the Imperium sends to the world to ensure its compliance.”
With those words TalOS raised a tightened fist, “In my time as Arch Dominus of Lucius I have had the honor to lead a great many who are equal to yourselves. First and foremost are the Skitarii, the millions of your fellow man who placed themselves at the front line to protect the realm of the Machine God and exterminate the Xenos forces threatening man.”
It was with these words that TalOS felt something. An underlying understanding of the words that he spoke. His wonder in whatever he was feeling grew as he continued his words.
“The Knights of Dutonis and the Legio Titanicus I also speak of. God Machines and Angels who I have had the pleasure to walk with as Particep Semper’s Princep. Under our feet we had not only destroyed dozens of worlds belonging to the Mitu Collective but it was the feat of a single Knight who saved Lucius from decimation by the Orkish Titans.”
Such words seemed to draw in the attention of the warriors as he championed the deeds of a single warrior.
“And lastly the Tech Priests, those who carry the Diving Knowledge of the Machine God. Without them the entire Crusade of my Creator would have failed. These geniuses you now serve, these great architects of civilization and war.”
With an understanding made of who they shall be serving TalOS declared, “This is the Great War Machine. A divine mechanism that we will use to smite our enemies. A weapon that you, the Children of the Machine God, shall now be committing your whole lives to. To be a Cog in the forever moving engine that will eliminate all foes!”
