Changes

Reanimation Protocols are sophisticated auto-repair systems installed on all Necron [[Living Metal]] exo-skeletal systems that can repair even the most crippling of damage. While this can keep them functioning constantly, should there be irreparable damage sustained, the Necron "phases out". Both their minds and their bodies are [[teleportation| teleported]] to the nearest [[Tomb World|tomb complex]] or nearby ship where they either remain in storage until repairs are made or a new body is forged. This act does, however, come at a cost as each act of transference leads to a decay in the Necron's engrams. As such, those Necrons that have "died" and phased out hundreds of times suffer the most for they become little more than automatons who have lost the memory of the creature that they used to be in life.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Reanimation is not a perfect reclamation process. Often there are parts and pieces of Necron bodies which are unsalvageable which will be left behind on battlefields.{{fn|5}}{{fn|6}}[[Image:Explorator Report Necron Remains White Dwarf 217 (UK) pg28.jpg|thumb|center|300px|^{An [[Explorator]]'s report detailing the analysis of [[Necron]] remains.{{fn|6}} Such remains are left behind when they are unsalvageable for reanimation purposes.{{fn|5}}}]]There are also certain situations however where Necrons can not be phased out at all, ensuring them a true death.
