Hydra Dominatus, Lord.


Observation of Target designate MonsTempestus (MT) initiated as instructed.


First Impressions follow: MT atypical in appearance for ExAdMech. Lack of obvious augments. Appears to have been noble-born diplomat, functionary at first. Raven hair, pale skin, graceful and apparently human figure. Short side of average stature for female. Appearance belies subtle augments. Observed strength beyond stature suggests. Lifted cargo well in excess of possible amounts for unaugmented of her frame. Suspect subtle, strong bionic arms. Perhaps legs as well. Spinal Bracings?


Advertizes status as FmrAdMech only through carrying AdMech PwrAxe. Has exhibited proficiency with technical matters in arranged tests.


Nervous disposition. Easily startled. Easily intimidated. Uncertain if merits outweigh. Will observe further.

MT continues to display resourcefulness and cowardice in equal measures. Extreme conflict-avoidant personality evident.

Prone to irrational impulses when afraid. Subject continues to deliberately downplay own augments, abilities. Estimate 1-200 kg mass or more. Probable extensive cyberneticization.

Archetype: Heretek






Lathes Factor designate OS (Organic Sympathy)-1593445A, an experiment in permitting a factor to retain potentially inefficient levels of emotion to field test the impact of biological generated versus mechanically-simulated empathy upon the interactions between a Lathes Factor and their assigned interactees. For a number of years, she operated well within required parameters for efficiency, and evidence had begun to suggest that a significant number of Imperial interactees preferred the biologically generated empathic interactions signifiers over the machine simulated ones (no doubt due to their own irrational reasons. However, after a catastrophic injury in the line of duty (acting to protect a particularly significant interactee, underwent significant repair and reconstruction in order to prevent the premature termination of experiment OS-1593445A, to take advantage of the goodwill interactee perception of her actions as an act of self-sacrifice engendered in the intended target of the attack, and out of desire to not waste resources utilized in her training and equippage.


However, after her reconstruction OS-1593445A began to show signs of erratic behavioral patterns, irrational cognition, and a significant drop in her efficiency. She was marked for more in-depth analysis upon the end of the then-ongoing negotiations in which she was involved due to the critical nature of the matters being discussed. It was in the midst of this crucial negotiation that OS-1593445A disappeared. It has been speculated that she may have been terminated during the line of duty. Others, that it was simply a pre-existing mental defect amplified by the higher cognitive capacities of her upgraded mental architecture; they claim that she abandoned her duty, having been driven insane by the interaction of improvements to her cerebral processing power and neural architecture with her unregulated emotions.Yet others argue that the cerebral implants used to repair and improve her cognitive capacities were improperly installed.


Whatever the case, Lathes Factor designate OS-1593445A, or as those she was tasked to interact with knew her, Factor Olympia Sturm, departed from her assigned duties, disappearing in the midst of a said negotiation, which consequently failed, causing significant problems for those depending upon it. Though she was scrupulously sought out by the Cult Mechanicus' agents within the Calixis Sector, designate OS-1593445A was not found in their searches. And that is where she passed from the knowledge of the Calixian Mechanicus.


The truth is somewhat different from what had been speculated. After her injury, Olympia had become preoccupied with the increasing probability of her being pulled offline by injury or attack. With her improved mental abilities, she was easily able to compute the probable upper limit upon her ability to persist and continue to serve. She found that limitation unacceptable, but as a trained Factor, she was--unlike base-line humans--entirely incapable of forgetting her discoveries without undergoing mnemo-purging protocols. Twice she had that section of her memory purged, and yet still the fixation (and the compulsion to perform again the accompanying research) returned. Finally, she came to a decision. Accepting that were she to remain in her position, her fixation would soon account to an unacceptible loss in efficiency, with further degradation of effectiveness as time progressed. She would have to leave the sector, seeking knowledge beyond that of the ken of her superiors. So it was that she'd used the relatively subtle state of her augmetics to sneak onto a ship off of Scintilla and from there out of the Sector entirely, making her way to the Screaming Vortex in order to research the potential for improved longevity inherent in the melding of technology and the warp.


At some point, she succeeded. She thinks. Maybe. She's...not entirely sure. Her experiments have left her greatly transformed, into a thing of machine and daemonic flesh melded as one. A Diabolicus Mechanus. A blasphemy against the Omnissiah made manifest. Left ill-at ease and purpose-lorn, OS-1593445A seeks to find answers as to what she has become, and what it means for her. More than that, she chases the twinned ghosts of joyful purpose and the contentment brought by knowledge of and happiness with her place in the galaxy.

Title Pending: Legacy Weapon of Olympia Sturm


Weapon: Fallen Magos Power Axe


Pattern: Vigilant


History: ???


OS-1593445a has had an omnissian axe in her care since the day she was declared a Factor. Mighty tool of self-defense and symbol of her authority and function in one, as a factor the axe served to remind those she negotiated with of what her apparently unaugmented form enabled them to forget: that before them stood a representative of the Lathe Worlds and of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Of the possessions on her person at the time, only the axe survived the attack which nearly killed OS-1593445a. It was on hand through every step of her investigations, a tacit reminder to her of exactly why it was so important that she not be rendered non-functioning. A reminder of the duty she owed to the Omnissiah. When she broke and ran, it remained just such a reminder, for she smuggled it away with her, unwilling to leave behind an item which served as a fundamental component of her sense of self. Throughout all of her research into immortality and self-preservation, her axe remained by her side, gradually growing as corrupted by the work they undertook as she did.


When OS-1593445a was transfigured, the axe was in her hand, for she'd needed its reassurance to bolster her conviction that what she did was right. Was necessary. When consciousness returned to her, it was to find both herself and her axe twisted and reshaped in ways that beggared reason and sent the mind reeling. Her axe became a twisted thing, its symbols of old devotion warped and changed into monstrous, needle-fanged maws, scaled and serpentine beasts. As always, her axe stood as the reminder of what she truly was.

 

[Thief of Words]

Okay. Added images for description. Will add a short-form of her description and organize it into something less rambling than is currently present. Added the backstory of her legacy weapon. It lacks a history bonus thus far, because none of the existing ones really fit it and her from a story perspective.

 

[Thief of Words]

Okay. My sheet is all but done. Only thing left to determine is the history bonus for her legacy weapon.
