Most commonly though, the path that leads to life as a Heretek begins away from the [[Omnissiah|Machine God]]'s domains, like in service to the Inquisition or an [[Explorator]] cadre. Most [[Tech-Priest]]s who are thusly led to a certain amount of self-reliance and forced adaptation will find that it strengthens their dedication to the Omnissian faith, however, a few Tech-Priests will instead start to question, to seek their own answers and rely on innovation to overcome adversity.{{Fn|1}}
Becoming a Heretek Savant is a matter of choice and opportunity rather than induction into a secret cult or service to a master, and all that is needed is for the Tech-Priest to turn his back on the sacred doctrines of the Omnissiah and have the will to do so. From this point on, they risk censure and destruction by the Cult Mechanicus if their heresies are
discovered, and while there is nothing to stop them furthering their rank and position in the Adeptus Mechanicus, they
are forever more false of heart and must remain eternally vigilant.{{Fn|18b}}
