But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

The universe is not like a puzzle-box that you can take apart and put back together again to solve its secrets. It's a shifting uncertain thing which changes as you consider it. Changed by the very act of observation.

A powerful man is not a man who dissects the universe, examining it piece by piece or measuring it with scientific precision. A powerful man has only to look upon the universe to change it.

-Technomagos Gaelos

Knowledge is the principal thing; therefore get thee knowledge. And in all your getting, get understanding. The Omnissiah directs us to tread the path of wisdom; if anything blocks our way, be it creature, machine or man, we must sacrifice them to the glory of the Machine God and to the Imperium.
