As they sat down, a drone made from a human skull floated over, carrying cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull was packed with mechanical components, its surface coated with oil, and its multiple mechanical arms gleamed, freshly polished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It offered each person a cup, then extended a pipe from its mouth. With a hiss, it filled each cup with a thick, oily liquid—some kind of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kall enthusiastically invited them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, Sage, please try it. This is a special mechanical fuel drink passed down by my Sali family. It's said to be a recipe gifted by a Tech-Sage. Quite delicious, and very helpful in communing with the machine spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he gulped it down, clearly enjoying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at the tea, unwilling to drink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this just engine oil?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those tech-priests not only heavily modified their bodies but even replaced their blood with special substances to prolong their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows what strange things they would drink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to his astonishment, Eden watched as Moss calmly raised his cup and drank the beverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, Moss seemed to feel invigorated and nodded, praising:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. Praise the Omnissiah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can even drink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Moss finish his drink, the skull drone floated over and refilled his cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Moss's curiosity about the drone, Kall proudly introduced it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sage, this is a special modification of mine. Pretty impressive, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he patted the smooth, shiny skull of the drone with pride:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, this is my father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden froze for a moment before realizing what Kall meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kall was saying that the skull belonged to his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden felt a bit unnerved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kall sure wasn't treating him like an outsider—having his father personally serve tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Eden knew what this skull drone was: a servitor skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simple terms, servitor skulls were general-purpose drones in the Imperium, used by many organizations, including the Adeptus Mechanicus, who particularly favored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Servitor skulls had various functions, such as battlefield communication, ammunition resupply, and serving as mechanical assistants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially among the powerful tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus, it was common to modify and enhance servitor skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were even equipped with powerful weapons and shield generators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was much like how wealthy people in Eden's old world loved customizing sports cars—an expression of both power and technical skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the human skull symbolized purity in the Imperium, so human skulls were often used to create servitor skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not just anyone's skull could be used—only the most loyal servants of the Emperor were worthy of offering their skulls as materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, within the Imperium, especially in the Adeptus Mechanicus, having one's skull made into a servitor skull after death was seen as a great honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why Kall proudly introduced his father's servitor skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was another layer to this—Kall was shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information Eden had, Kall's father had fervently wished for his skull to be made into a servitor skull before his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to his less-than-stellar record, it was a mercy that he wasn't put on trial. He was far from qualified to be used as a servitor skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it seemed Kall had secretly fulfilled his father's wish by turning his skull into a servitor skull, albeit without proper authorization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Kall had forged \"fake papers\" for his father and was now brazenly showing off in front of Eden, the Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as far as Eden remembered, Kall's father had similarly turned his grandfather into a servitor skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also unauthorized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be a family tradition of the Sali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden suddenly felt exhausted by the absurdity of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. After all, he had chosen these people himself. He would just pretend not to know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he would have someone from the Internal Affairs department update Kall's father's records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Eden couldn't shake the feeling that Kall might cause some serious trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no better choice at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed Kall's audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few pleasantries, Eden got straight to the point, proposing the idea of funding the reconstruction of the Adeptus Mechanicus branch on Urth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proposal was met with enthusiastic approval from both Moss and Kall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss, of course, was just playing his role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kall was genuinely eager to join in rebuilding the Adeptus Mechanicus branch. He could hardly wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was desperate to solidify his counterfeit identity and become a true tech-priest, restoring the glory of his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his actual skills, well, at least his grandfather had been a Tech-Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kall, in his mind, had perfectly inherited both his father's and grandfather's mechanical philosophies and had surpassed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, to the Adeptus Mechanicus, this only made him more of a heretic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't matter. In Eden's view, those who were loyal to the Emperor and even more loyal to him were the pillars of the Imperium!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether the reconstruction of the branch needed official approval from the Adeptus Mechanicus?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden dismissed the idea entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the branch was established, it would have its own \"official\" recognition. The internal structure could simply approve itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach had no problems whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Adeptus Mechanicus was nominally united in their worship of the Omnissiah, internally, they were rife with countless sub-sects and conflicting doctrines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying went, \"There are as many beliefs in the Adeptus Mechanicus as there are stars in the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctrinal wars like the infamous \"Binary Schism\" had left them in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some powerful Forge Worlds openly defied the orders from Mars, engaging in technological heresy without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Eden had no need to worry about the Adeptus Mechanicus. With the Great Rift cutting off communications, he had the perfect opportunity to set up his own operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it grew strong, everything else would fall into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Eden, Moss, and Kall reached an agreement to rebuild the Adeptus Mechanicus branch on Urth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss would be the branch's chief overseer, with Kall as his assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would also select appropriate personnel for evaluation, with those passing the tests becoming new members of the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this selection method was only temporary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, they planned to use vat-grown individuals, with data-linked knowledge being implanted into them in the fetal stage, allowing them to quickly begin working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, the location for the Adeptus Mechanicus branch was finalized—Kall's mechanical factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A statue of the great Omnissiah was erected at the entrance to the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base of the statue was inscribed with the following credo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing will stop your pursuit of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will hinder your quest for sacred technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None shall prevent you from standing beneath the Machine God!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the official inauguration, Eden led the officials of the King's Court district to witness the founding of the Adeptus Mechanicus branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremony took place in front of the Omnissiah statue at the factory entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss pulled the lever, igniting the flames within the factory, starting the engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the hymn echoed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ring the great bell once! Pull the lever, start the pistons and the pumps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring the great bell twice! Press the button, fire the engines, ignite the turbines, and breathe life into them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring the great bell thrice! Sing in unison, and praise the Omnissiah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the enormous gears of the factory began to turn, and the roar of steam filled the air...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Adeptus Mechanicus of Urth was officially established!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
