thick; glowing; milky substance that cast its light up to the metal ceiling。 When this was done; the
cherub…slaves retreated to shadowy alcoves set in the walls。 There; they deactivated; and became
like dolls at rest in upright coffins。
Apart from the area lit by the glowing pool; the Mechanicus quarters were dark and foulsmelling。
To the tech…priests; these things mattered not at all。 The darkness hid nothing from
augmetic eyes that could see in many spectrums of light。 The smells registered only as lists of
airborne compounds in varying concentrations; neither pleasant nor unpleasant; simply there。
Wading to the far side of the small pool; Tech…Magos Sennesdiar submerged his misshapen;
patchwork body all the way to his neck。 Adepts Xephous and Armadron followed suit; and the
glowing liquid within the tub bubbled and churned like hot soup。
It was Armadron who broke the silence。 His words; when he spoke them; were delivered in the
same chalkboard screech he had used at the general’s table。
The tech…magos answered with his own condensed; high…pitched burst。
Armadron did not reply; a sign that he was reflecting on his superior’s words。
said Xephous。 His mandibles
clacked together loudly at the end of his burst; something Sennesdiar considered an unworthy habit。
replied Sennesdiar。
Xephous shifted; sending slow ripples over the surface of the milky goop; and said;
said Armadron。
Sennesdiar turned his whirring eye…lenses from one to the other。
said Armadron。
added Xephous。
said
Sennesdiar; cutting across his subordinate。
countered Xephous。
Xephous said;
said the tech…magos。
Armadron bowed his near…featureless head; pulling taut the segmented cables that connected his
steel…encased brain to the augmetic ports on his naked metal vertebrae。
protested Xephous。
36
said the magos;
said Armadron。
said Armadron。
replied Sennesdiar。
asked Xephous。
the magos replied; interrupting
his adept。
Armadron bowed his head and issued a short burst of noise that expressed his understanding and
absolute obedience。
Sennesdiar rose from the pool; broadcasting an activation code to the cherub…slaves in their
alcoves。 They jerked forwards to tend to him as he stepped out。 Thick fluids ran down his bloodless
body; along the piston housings and cables that jutted from the pallid remnants of the flesh into
which he had been born almost four centuries earlier。 Silvery drops rolled from his slender metal
fingers to the grille floor below as he waited for the little slaves to dress him。
In his robes once more; he stepped to the door of his private chamber; turned and said;
they intoned dutifully。
