==Overview==
Among the Adeptus Mechanicus there exists the fear of sentient artificial intelligences (A.I.'s) known as Abominable Intelligences. Such views date back to the [[Dark Age of Technology]] where depraved and bizarre sciences were created and the machines created by [[Manmankind|human]] turned against their masters with a war of supremacy fought in that era. Since that time, it was decreed by the [[Emperor of Mankind]] that there would not be the creation or maintenance of a machine that had the capacity of thinking for itself.
During the latter part of the [[34th Millennium]], a brilliant and recently ordained [[Magos]] known as [[Degio Khamrios]] began to covertly research the matter of A.I's. His work carried such conviction that many [[Techpriests]] followed in his wake and also dabbled in the forbidden science. By the end of his first century, Khamrios believed that his work was ready to be published for everyone in the Cult to see and was confident that it would be accepted by the Mechanicus.
