===Life as a Heretek===
No matter the reason for becoming a Heretek, it is a most dangerous way of life; for should a Heretek be found out by a member of the Cult Mechanicus, they face harsh punishment, often meaning either immediate destruction or having their implants ripped out to have whatever remains of their flesh converted into a [[servitor]] as penance.{{Fn|1b}} Other times, those found guilty as being a heretek could be sentenced to having all their [[augmetic]]s removed, this typically results in a drawn out death after they are released.{{Fn|18}}
For this reason, Hereteks can, and logically speaking should, become increasingly paranoid and withdrawn. They will distance themselves from those who would discover their heresies, and will focus on self-preservation. Implanting ever more offensive and defensive systems to protect themselves and their pursuit of forbidden knowledge is common behavior for a Heretek.{{Fn|1b}}
