After the biotransference the Nobles of Anapnut came to
realise what they had gotten themselves in to. With their minds mostly intact
the realisation hit them that they were to live out eternity in a metal shell, stripped
of what made them truly alive, their souls. The souls that were now being consumed by the C'tan, who had betrayed their trust in such a way that the wound would never heal.
Yet they, like the silent King they unquestionably followed, knew that they
could not possibly hope to defeat the C’tan, the false gods, when they were at
the height of their power. And certainly not before the Old Ones were
destroyed.
