Archmagos Sojourner Wakes (Deceased)

-Previous Archmagos of the Asterion Mechanicus

-Fixation on Xenotechnology; his cognomen, Wakes, indicates his dedication to the search for and understanding of Asterii technology.

-Had been scheduled to soon to depart on a pilgrimage to Eskutchax, the sector's primary forge world and manufactorum of las weaponry; sentiments strongly suggest that he will there be assigned the role of Fabricator General.

-Severe mental degradation caused the Archmagos to exhibit erratic and violent behaviors, culminating in the necessity of his execution. It is my duty, as a Wakes, to continue his research. To continue his crusade.

-Heavy Encryption-

-Initial contact involved efforts to sway him to endorse Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø.

-Is searching for the records of Anvephone Traquiel to continue his research into the Xenotechnology of the Cinquefoils; believed them to be stored somewhere on Asterion, but outside the Hive. We have since confirmed the location to be Fort Orpheon, collected the records, and traded them for additional knowledge of the Asterii. He has also promoted me to Magos Logis, and given me permission to use the cognomen "Wakes," which I have chosen to accept.

-His investigations into the death and research of Anvephone Traquiel prompted him to forcibly enter the mind of Logis Eizen to learn details of the event, and likely of the Nemesis Device. This action cause the Techsorcist code wall containing the entity VIIR to rupture, allowing him to infect and influence the Archmagos into both forgetting the entire affair, and later to approve the assignment of relic light power armor to Logis Eizen.

-Prior contact with the scrap code associated with VIIR has caused insanity to overtake other tech priests. This is the same fate that befell the Archmagos, who ultimately succumbed to intense degradation of his mind and functionality.

-Before his death, the Archmagos spoke to his "Master," as though he were present; it might be worth learning who that individual is. Additionally, I suspect that Wakes or his Master may also have had contact with King Quinque.

Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø

-Magos Biologis, endorsed to become the next Archmagos after the departure of Sojourner Wakes. However, this endorsement lost value due to Wakes's fall in popularity.

-Strong familial ties to House Nimea; cousin of Ketcellia.

-Oversees production of Asterion Tonic, the chemical nature of which is confidential (though recent intelligence might reveal the formula)

-To maintain our trade arrangements for Asterion Tonic, the Company has prioritized a positive relationship with the Magos Biologis. To this end, an incredible discovery of Type 87 Thrice Blessed Class-Alpha Sacred Refrigerant in Bluehull-92 was sold to Magos Kolabite for a reasonable price and general favor.

-Attended the Gubernatorial Wedding alongside Magos Dominus Voltaire 19-A and Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange; gifted the couple a Manufactorum.

Licensed Elevator Repairman Cassius Omega-22

-Elevator Repairman/Infrastructure Representative in the absence of Magos Vector van Flange.

-Associate of Logis Kelvin 111.

-Tracks rumors and discussion within the Mechanicus with reasonable consistency; information has often proved valuable.

Factotum Fexibaan 77-b

-Mechanicus Factotum in service to the Nimea family. Expert in social sciences and interactions.

-Attended the Gubernatorial Wedding with the Nimea Family.

Archmagos Dominus Voltaire 19-A

-Elected Archmagos following the death of Sojourner Wakes

-Served as an Ambassador of Archmagos Wakes interested during negotiations for the repairs of Port Lysander

-Attended the Gubernatorial Wedding alongside Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø and Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange; gifted the couple a Manufactorum. During the wedding, engaged Magos Logis Eizen in a discussion regarding the election of the next Arch Magos, as he is currently leading the polls. I gave honest replies to his answers, both in my assessment that the value of Magos van Flange's rivalry with Archmagos Wakes was being underestimated in current polity, and that I personally will vote for the Magos Aedifex. He appeared to take no offense to these calculations.

Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange

-Head Magos of the Infrastructure Department; well regarded by his subordinates.

-Had been absent for some time, having vanished during an exploration of the lava tubes, where his telemetry continued to report his location and status as alive, but out of reach—he went there searching for an optimal cargo route through the planet between two of Asterion's hives. Sojourner Wakes considered this a non-issue at this time, and neglected to appoint a replacement leader for the Infrastructure Department, evidence of the friction between the two.

-Van Flange has since indicated similar dislike (and mistrust) toward Wakes; their cognomens indicate the source of this discord, as the van Flange line believes in the need to improve upon practical engineering and technologies, whereas the Wakes line is focused on seeking and understanding new/lost technologies. Due to this conflict, I made sure to be clear of my ongoing respect for van Flange after adopting the Wakes Cognomen, the truth of which he appears to have accepted.

-Was safely recovered during by team due to interest in aiding/gaining influence with the Infrastructure Department, and possibly obtaining insight into the location of the lost Traquiel Fortress; these goals have been achieved. In addition, this mission led us to the discovery of the 508 and it's denizens.

-Long absence occurred due to the actions of Ssar Wolstina, in her misguided attempts to preserve and protect the Chosen 508th.

-Van Flange has confirmed that Anvephone Traquiel enlisted his confidential aid in constructing a throughway to the original Traquiel Palace; how she discovered its location to begin with remains unknown. He later provided a means of entrance to Fort Orpheon, and joined us in our initial exploration. His presence necessitated him being made aware of the Asterii Devices, when one was encountered.

-Attended the Gubernatorial Wedding alongside Magos Dominus Voltaire 19-A and Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø; gifted the couple a Manufactorum.

-Since we were unable to sway the election toward Magos van Flange, we have attempted to maintain our positive connection through other means. This includes formatting our Manufactorum to produce cable necessary for infrastructure projects.

Logis Kelvin 111

-Infrastructure department Logis, associate of Cassius; works at the Comutotitron Chapel, where many communications are routed through the hive and between orbitals. He and the entire department currently favor KG-Co with great enthusiasm, due to our aid in recovering Magos Vector van Flange.

[Heavy Encryption]

-Has agreed to covertly aid us by intercepting the communications of the DeWonti Trade Consortium and delivering them to KG-Co. Delivery of these reports has been conducted thus far by Cassius.

Magos Techsorcist Voss Alpha-1

-Itinerant Techpriest that travels the Cytheris Subesector, remaining in one system or another for 1-3 years before relocating for work.

-A (largely) tolerated radical, as many techsorcists are in the Mechanicus; work necessitates the use of improvisational measures during some rituals, as well as the large-scale destruction of sacred machine spirits that have succumbed to heretical infections. More driven by profit than the average techpriest.

-Aggressively avoids records of himself and whereabouts reaching the Noosphere, due to friction with other orders of techpriests.

-Confidentially retained by Rear Admiral von Trakkyr in efforts to purge a schismatcial scrap code from the Naval Warship, the Judgment of Eminence. Progress is being made steadily, if slowly, and he seems to have included several backdoor programs into the system, and copied a number of files to personal records.

-We sought out the aid of Magos Voss in curing Archmagos Wakes of his deteriorating condition; to accomplish this, we had to disclose information regarding Magos Eizen, VIIR, and the wall in their shared mind. For the Cost of 1 Liquidity and ongoing retainer with the Keojrah-Glynt Company, we have secured his aid in this matter.

Knight Archivist Ruber Sutonis

-An archival techpriest trained in the mysteries of Techsorcism; as with others of this initiation, his beliefs are not as strictly orthodox as others in the Mechanicus.

-Currently in Hive Cytheris, working for a scrapper company in the Quarantine Zone to assist in the removal of scrap code infections from recovered devices.

-Familiar with Sojourner Wakes, and his mission; contact was made with Magos Eizen, due to his status as the Wakes Cognomen Successor, upon recovery of a Voiddelver artifact during exploration of the Quarantine Zone. The Device was recovered from an individual belonging to the Order of Silence, who attacked Ruber alongside the insectoid denizens of the Zone.

-Sutonis has been updated on the situation with the VIIR Engram, and has suggested a possible location of use within the Zone.

Magos Helexicon Theta-9

-Magos from Eskutchax, accompanied by apprentice Enginseer Anealia Theta-9. Had contact with Sojourner Wakes; was apparently similarly minded in being less orthodox in beliefs, hence leaving the Forge World to come to Asterion to seek a more open-minded setting for research and theory craft.

-Specialist in Machine Spirits; claims to be studying methods of machine spirit resurrection. He and the Enginseer have since provided us with a more detailed demonstration of this process.

-Had intended to reach out to Voss Alpha-1 and House Nimea for possible resources and support; to avoid them becoming assets to a different faction, they were offered (and accepted) space for a laboratory in Bluehull-92. 

-Currently overseeing the resurrection of the Norimar Corpse Starch Manufactory with Enginseer Theta-9

Enginseer Anealia Theta-9

-Apprentice to Magos Helexicon Theta-9

-Studying machine spirit ecosystems, and the possibility of several compatible spirit existing in cohabitation within a single device. Has offered access to this research, as part of ongoing agreement to support her and her mentor's efforts.

-Has great potential.
