===The Emperor and the Fabricator-General=== The arrival of the Emperor was an occurrence thought inconceivable by every rational mind in the Mechanicum. Not only did the Emperor's ship fly past innumerable defenses, including a ring of space stations and countless ships, Mars had begun to rain. Water had touched its soil for the first time in thousands of years. Some Adepts have records placing eye witnesses with Tygian, remarking he was crying upon seeing the sight. As the Emperor descended from the heavens upon a golden vessel, his touch mended machine effortlessly. Kalkas swore fealty to him upon the muddy ground outside of Olympus Mons. The Omnissiah had been made manifest, and the Fabricator-General would be his servant on Martian soil. At first the movements of Kalkas were subtle. He worked tirelessly for rest of the day establishing contacts with trusted officials, Secutors of honorable repute, and establishing lasting alliances with key figures such as [[Motoka Isidore]] of Mondus Occulum. During the second day, still without rest, Kalkas stormed the Martian Parliament. Inside its walls, he declared his formation of a Chamber of Repentance. All those who had voted against the ordained Treaty of Mars would be given a singular chance to ask for penance. If they accepted, the souls would lowered to the rank of Enginseers and made to service the Emperor's Legions. Not all agreed with this. Urbis Juventas openly declared rebellion, but paid a dear price when their city as razed in an attack led by [[Zorr Yenser]]. But even as that battle went on, the Chamber was faced with a dilemma. Not all the delegates who had refused the accord with Terra had repented. Knowing their crime was without a doubt, Kalkas sanctioned lengthy interrogations against these individuals to coerce confessions from them. As they gave in, Tygian decided to add another act of penance upon them. They must surrender any individuals who have committed injustices against the creed of the Cult. Kalkas collapsed after seventy-four hours of action, allowing the members in the Chamber of Repentance to continue the work. The Magi of Mars saw this as a cleansing of sorts, expected to come after communion with their literal lord. More doubtful members of the Priesthood kept their mouths silent, but used the upheaval to bring opposition to the Chamber to remove them. Many willingly came to seek repentance, having a religious reawakening and an honest desire to atone. A plethora of punishments developed for any number of crimes. Some like the ''Cybellatici'' - those who had taken augments without proper reverence for them - faced extreme penance. Techno-expurgation was a unique punishment under Kalkian canon law. The Adept would be stripped of every augment they possessed, replaced with vat-grown organs sufficient to keep them alive, and cast out of Mars. Kalkas justified the punishment by explaining it showed the true heart of the individual. Not one for the Omnissiah, thus their crimes to the cause would be removed by removing them from his sight. Without their augments, their flesh would fail them in short order. Living testaments to the tenats of the Mechancium. Positions for the faithful were secured. Those who had shown reverence to the Omnissiah Incarnate, as the Emperor became known, were given the largest bounty. Zorr Yenser was given control of Hebes Chasma. Kalkas's sister, '''Areta Tygian''' replaced his position over Deimos. Her daughter [[Modra Tygian]] being assigned to his personal staff, to learn more directly under him than he did from Leton. '''Arch-Magos Alycon Markus''', the grandfather of the later Fabricator-General Halycen Markus, was given command over ten Titan Legions. '''Amark Callus''', who had stopped the Rebellion of the crew aboard the Ordinatus Mars, gained authority over the ancient vessel. Mars was pacified, the filth washed away - according to Kalkas. Instead those foolish enough to have their heretical activities known or marked by fate had been claimed in zealous wrath. All others astute to understand the situation and cautious of their views remained in their positions. Kalkas had only strengthened those he wished to remove utterly, a lesson he would keenly learn in the years to come. For now all of Mars focused on a singular goal; sovereignty over its many distant Forgeworlds.
