'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are a type of [[Necron]] technology used to repair and reanimate damaged or destroyed Necrons.{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Reanimation Protocols{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}, specifically the '''Protocol of Recall'''in Necron terminology{{fn|9}}{{fn|10}} 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]]{{Fn|1}} 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.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} This teleportation, called "translation" in the [[Necron Lexicon
]]{{fn|9}}, is the very same used by [[Gauss]] weapons to break the bonds of matter of their opponents into energy, so that it may repurposed later by the Necrons.{{fn|5c}} Sometimes they may even be rebuilt during a battle before an enemies eyes.{{fn|7}} 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}}
