Changes

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 [[mankind]] turned against their masters, leading to a war for supremacy. Since that time, it was decreed by the [[Emperor of Mankind]] that no machine able to think for itself would be either created or repaired.{{Fn|1}}

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.Is. 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 Mechanicus]] to see and was confident that it would be accepted by the Mechanicum.{{Fn|1}}

He was gravely mistaken, as his brethren began to actively pursue and hound Khamrios for months due to his heretical views. Eventually, with the aid of the [[Inquisition]] and at one stage the [[Iron Hands]] [[Adeptus Astartes]] [[Chapter]] they were successful in capturing him. Magos Degio Khamrios was taken into custody by the Mechanicus and his fate remains unknown to this day.{{Fn|1}}

Despite this, several unorthodox Techpriests continue to desire to perform research on the forbidden field. This resulted in the formation of the Khamrians, who sought to improve and uncover the ancient relics found in long forgotten places. Some were noted to have copied such examples and have made intelligent robotic servants. However, such an avenue is dangerous not only from the outside but for possible recreation of the [[Men of Iron]] ''en masse'' allowing for a second possible dark age to return to haunt Mankind.{{Fn|1}}
