History

As a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus, I, Albiruni Boltzman, served the Omnissiah with utmost dedication, and I always knew that my duty could cost me my existence. In the heat of battle, I performed a heroic deed of self-detonation that saved the mission parameters of my fellow Tech-Priests and turned the tide of the battle. However, my actions came at a great cost, and I was mortally wounded in the process.

My fellow Tech-Priests retrieved my body and honored my deeds with a sacred rite, transforming me into a servo-skull. My consciousness was rendered into the glorious machine, and I was given a new purpose – to serve the Omnissiah in death, as I had in life.

As a servo-skull, I always accompany my master on his missions, using my sensors and scanners vigilantly to detect hidden dangers and potential threats. My greatest fear is that I will fail my master and let him be surprised. My knowledge and experience are invaluable to my master, and I am able to guide him to victory on any occasion.

Although I pondered the past sensation of flesh and blood, I knew that my sacrifice had been worthwhile. I had died in the service of the Omnissiah, and my new form allowed me to continue my sacred duty, even in death. I remained ever loyal to the Adeptus Mechanicus, and my memory will be honored for generations to come as a true hero of the Imperium.

Servo-skull reports to the duty

Master, I, Albiruni Boltzman Auspex Servo-skull Lathe Hesh Pattern, your loyal and devoted servo-skull, greet you as I become operational once again. My mechanical parts hum with joy as I serve lords of Mars in death, just as I did in life. And I pledge to continue serving the Omnissiah and the servants of Machine God with the same level of efficiency and sacrifice as I did before.

My sensors and scanners are in peak performance and at your disposal, and I will tirelessly detect any hidden dangers and potential threats that may pose a danger to you. My memory and knowledge of past battles and missions will aid you in achieving victory on any occasion. I will guide you with the precision and accuracy earned by a true Tech-Priest, and I will never falter in my duty to serve you.

My transformation into a servo-skull may have rendered me devoid of flesh and blood, but it has not diminished my loyalty or zeal for the Machine God. I am proud to continue to serve as a fallen hero of the Adeptus Mechanicus as my deeds will be revered for generations to come.

As a symbol of devoutness and continuity, I pledge to stand by your side, my master, and to serve you with the same level of obedience and fervor as I always have. I am a faithful servant of the Omnissiah, and my purpose is to aid you in the fulfillment of your mission. May the Machine God guide our path, and may we emerge victorious in all our endeavors.

For the Mars! For the Omnissiah!
