"In man-machine symbiosis, it is man who must adjust: the machine who can't"- Alan Perlis

Titans...large war machines that stomp onto the battlefield that rips though the enemy like a hot knife though butter as its weapons rip though the battlefield. Then the Imperial knights though smaller and more faster than their larger cousins but still carry frighting weapons that could rip apart chaos marine squads within seconds. Freeblade had show me the pure might of these weapons that a 'normal' imperial knight carry but a Dominus Parren knight?

That my friend is a smaller version of a warlord titan or in away they were the warlords of the imperial knights.

As a mech lover I wanted to one day to get a knight for my collection to go with my salamanders, to make a freeblade who forced a pact with the sons of Vulkan. Sadly these sets for even the lighter version of titan known as Acastus pattern AKA scout titans where at least $80 and that is with honey. So my dream of having a freeblade salamander was only staying on paper and along with the deep dark green pain and fire plasma orange.

I didn't really have a good paying job and what I got barley got by with rent and even time to paint the knight would take forever since I didn't have the amount of paint to go with it and even then the paint is just as pricey as the models. So my Cataphractii terminators and Primaris Lieutenant would have to stay alone on my dusty xbox one when I played Space hulk tactics. (Which kinda pisses me off since they had space wolves not salamanders!)

Normally I would try to win titans by 40k facts and one mind syndicate sadly those models are A: alright gone or B: It was too late to get it.

But I kept doing what I could get a free set or get a good deal on a any kind of titan...

Luckily during black Friday I was at a board gaming shop they had a Dominus Pattern Knight about half the asking price than it normally would but if you bought five other paints with it you get 45% off the asking deal! So when I bought the set I smiled as I began think about the titan. I knew it would take forever to paint it but it would be worth it as a collector.

Getting in my car I began to think about if it had different head patterns when I looked at the box in my driver seat.

I really didn't like the head piece that it came with but if that was only was in the box that was what I was going to work with no matter how ugly it was. My eyes where so focus on the box that I didn't see car coming forward and T-bone me hitting me hard. The box in my hand went flying in the air as the five jars of paint went flying in the air with the glass as my head rocked back and the last thing I saw was the titan's box before-

*SNAP*

Everything went black.

But instead of a light or a burning pitt I awoke cold and alone.

Was I dead?

No I was still breathing but...where was I? And what the hell was I wearing!?

"THE HELL! WHAT IS THIS?!"

Placing my hands to my head I removed the helmet that covered my face as I felt the cold sting of the frost fill air as I got up from the chair I was sitting on as I inhaled sharply. I wanted to puke from the pain I was in but my body refused to as I laid there in pain.

Slowly I began to gather myself as I pushed myself off the ground and grabbed my head as it pounded in pain, but as fast as it came the headache vanished as I looked around. Confused I looked around as I got up with shacking legs as I scanned the room for anything but thanks to it being so dark I sat back down in the small room seemingly with no way out.

No door.

No hatch.

No stairs.

Nothing just a room made of metal and darkness.

Leaning back I grabbed my chin as I began to think of what was going on...

"Where am I?"

Leaning back in the chain I heard something snap...

"What the-!?"

Something was holding onto my back! With more snaps I was being held by my spine as I screamed in fear before I heard it.

"What did you do?"

I heard a voice but...not with my ears? How the hell.

"I didn't do anything I was trying to move this plate like you asked,"

"Well you did something,"

Confused I moved slightly hearing the two voices before I heard another and another then to the pointer where I heard so many like there was a group outside along with the clinging of metal on metal. Confused I shouted.

"HELLO! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Nothing the voices and sounds went on like they couldn't hear me.

I sighed as I rolled my eyes.

'Of course they can't hear me otherwise they would have heard me shout earlier,'

Looking at my hand I blinked before narrowing my eyes where I saw it. Though the room was dark there was barely enough light to see it where I was, at first I was dum founded but if I didn't know better this mark on the back of my hand was the symbol of the salamanders! More confusion entered my mind as I began to look down in the dark room as I tried to see what I was wearing more closely...but the room was so dark if only I had some ligh-

With a thought the small room lit up with a warm orange light causing me to shield my eyes from the light as I moved my hand down before going wide eyed.

Before me where something that you would see out of a 40k book, the room I was in held the symbols of the imperium and salamanders. Looking down at my body I saw the knight like armor that I wore.

(Kinda like this)

Wax purty seals where donned onto the green and black flaming knight armor. Before I could question anything a thought entered my mind.

Was I in a titan?!

Thinking hard I then thought of leaning back to where the back of my head would connect with the rest of the chai- command throne. Well it was either that or wait for the voices to pry the titan or knight open.

Exhaling I closed my eyes before leaning back.

When my back 'snapped' into place my 'eyes' opened wide as I awoke no...I didn't awake but the mech that I sat in.

From my field of view turned from the orange lit room to a large room where light poured in as I saw my what I was in.

A DOMINUS PATTERN IMPERIAL KNIGHT!

Wait are those anthro ponies...WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!

These ponies that covered my knight's form held power tools and other equipment and where trying to break into the armor. Disgust filled my mind at the though of these creatures trying to take apart MY Knight!

Angered I roared as the war horn gave off my hate filled roar starting the ponies that covered my knight as I moved the weapon arms of my titan breaking them fear of the scaffolding they where trapped under.

The ponies screamed in fear as I broke fear from the ropes and other devices that held down this beautiful warmachine as I moved fear my vision turned a slight green as symbols of the adeptus mechanicus flashed before my eyes before the words popped up at the side of my vision.

Smiling I spoke.
