A message to all Mechanicus Do not dismiss the form of Man as

>>51313560
But is it really ?

The notion that all machines come from man seems less heretical than the omnisaiah

>>51313397
That sounds like biologicus heresy to me.

The human body is a machine. The Emperor is a perfect human. ergo The Emperor is The Perfect Machine.

The emperor is the omnissiah.

>>51313766
now this can be viewed as Tech heresy since the Emperor was thought of as an avatar of the Omnissiah.
But this sounds like good plot for the Ecclesiarchy to fund a Heretek group of loyal tech priests.

Why exactly did mars of all planets become the tech fortress

>>51315423
I think it's because it was full of rich recources. I suppose it would make sense for it to be forge-planet, it's probably one of the first places a space-faring humanity would go to colonise and mine. Once it was "taken over", likely by a commercialized space program, they would have kept it because of all the resources and close proximity to Earth.

This picture doesn't help your cause for I only see a person using optical lenses to compensate for a malfunction found in her organic eyes. She should have them replaced at once.

>>51315423
As cliche as it can be, mars does work well as an advanced tech testing base.
Mars, at least in the current state right now, is incapable of holding an atmosphere capable of supporting life. Thus underground installations would be required which are not viewed positively by the general public so there wouldn't be great interest in civilian colonization. But it does provide plenty of space to work with in testing new tech with the bonus that if anything goes super wrong, Earth doesn't have to worry about it affecting them at all. It's like the positive reasons to do weapon tests on islands away from civilization amplified thanks to the 100 million miles of space between Earth and Mars.

>>51315606
It could just be a fake face. To make it easier to interact with non mechanicus.

Those who took biology 101 knows that even a unicellular organism is more complex than anything made by the hands of Man. The DNA replication, repair and expression mechanisms alone far exceed any information system we can devise.

Y'see, most mechanicus hover at about 50-50 flesh to metal ratio (titanicus) as a tribute to the omnissaiah. It's supposed to do with representing the union between the god-emperor and the machine god but really the fleshy bits need less oil.

Man is a machine. An inferior one, prone to decay and malfunction. Retarding your upgrade program puts you in a negative performance loop, where your cognition circuitry cannot compute your need to improve, and so you do not improve to where they can. That you'd output technoheresy such as claiming that the prime fabricator is our understanding of standard anatomy instead of the Omnissiah is proof of that.

Now upgrading a substandard specimen is a waste of resources. We should re-purpose you as a servitor instead of bothering to enhance your cognition.

I remember that there is a specific theological branch of the Mechanicus that teaches the human body is a type of machine, albeit a wasteful one, right? Arkhan Land was one of them.

>>51313397
That's actually the philosophy of my current Explorator in RT.

Loves mechanical enhancements as much as anyone but also values the flesh as the first machine. Has dedicated himself to improving bionic technology to better mesh and interface between biological and technological systems.

He'd much rather add a new limb than replace a flesh one with a metal analogue and even his mechanical limbs are much more organic looking than most. His style is for synthetic flesh and muscle fiber wrapped over an endoskeleton rather than just boxy limbs with servomotors.

Forgot I had a picture of him.

The flesh is a machine but it is weak. Replace what you can - some will always remain. Only through disciplined and rigorous invocation of the right of lifting might the machine of flesh become strong. Pain is the forge and trial of flesh. Only when ones flesh is truly swole can one claim true oneness with the omnissiah.

He looks pretty practical I see why he's on the move, less bitching from traditionalists who don't understand their own faith

Perfection of the original machine, should be one of our chief pursuits.

From the lies of the Antipath, circuit preserve us

From the rage of the Beast, iron protect us

From the temptations of the Fleshlord, silica cleanse us

From the ravages of the Destroyer, anima shield us

From this rotting cage of biomatter,

Machine God set us free

Machines rust and malfunction, just as the flesh decays and rots over time.

But we need not suffer for it. No, it is a joy to behold, as one form transforms into a feeding source for new life, continuing the ever-crawling march of nature itself.

Replacing flesh with metal does nothing to stave off the inevitable. Surrender your mind and soul to oblivion and despair, and you will feel naught but pleasure. You will only be asked to spread the joy, so that others may enjoy.
