TalOS had to take a moment to really figure out what was being asked. Within his mind reasoning was given and understanding began to be broached. He sensed here was the truth of the issue and in which he could grant some knowledge.
“What you seek, the records of your son’s exploits, shall be delivered as you wish.” TalOS declared as he waved a hand through the air, “And I do not see issue with you each keeping some of your children. I believe Perturabo would accept the idea that each family would be allowed to keep their first born.”
Those within the throne room looked almost surprised at the words of TalOS. Such evident benevolence was there to grant such things. But the general did not accept it as said, “Fabricator General, what else do you wish to include in that deal? Will it cost the people of Olympia?”
TalOS grew a small smile, “It is not against the people of Olympia but to their benefit. The Mechanicus, to who I represent, have a great many programs among our data archives to help rehabilitate a population like yours to a healthy amount with recruitment included.”
“And what would this program entail for our people?” There was a thin thread of dread within the man’s voice as he spoke those words.
“I shall have a group of Genetors supervise the reproduction of your people. To optimize you not just for Astartes development but fertility above all else. Within five generations your woman will be capable of bearing three more children and the rates of twins will increase dramatically.” TalOS said with a hint of benevolence.
“Do…” The man had to hold his tongue back for a moment as he rushed his mind with realization, “You wish to simply breed us like livestock!?”
“You use such words to dehumanize yourselves.” TalOS said as he flicked his finger, “I wish for you to note that the people of Lucius have a higher than standard likelihood to find love within these relationships. Humans seem to have a tendency to enjoy those of compatible genes.”
“We are not here to release one Tyrant for another!” Shouted one of the remaining representatives from the west, “If that is what Perturabo will allow upon our planet we do not any of it!”
Perturabo quickly stared at the man for a moment, causing the fellow to almost scream in terror. Perturabo simply said, “You were not doing a good enough job before.”
Terror and anger flashed the eyes of the one fellow before he and the remaining contingent of the west left with him.
