She, like most Imperial citizens lived day to day doing as they were told. When it became clear that she had a natural affinity toward machines her family began petitioning her acceptance into the ranks of the Adaptus Mechanicus. At the tender age of 16 she was accepted and over the next 20 years was indoctrinated into a full tech priest. She was then apprenticed to the Lathe Worlds, a stationing that any would have considered fortunate.<br/>Living on the edge of Imperial space meant that the Lathes were the first to view found archeotech or potentially modified/re-engineered xenos tech. It was at this time in her 120th year that she came upon a strange piece of xenos technology. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and she dedicated the majority of her time to its research. After many long months she was able to discover that it was not xenos tech but in fact a piece of technology from the warp. Caution should have immediately made her destroy the relic but her curiosity and arrogance won out. Tapping further into the device she discovered it was a creation of someone or something calling itself Minos. Further research confirmed that the name matched an Iron Warrior Adaptus Astartes Chaos marine from the first war. Still, Hessia was convinced that the technology at her disposal and her obvious superiority could handle any dangers involved.<br/>What she discovered was anything but. What she thought was a simple information capsule turned out to be far more dangerous. Finally cracking the case of the device she was assaulted with chaos nanites that invaded her systems. For many days she lingered near death as the microscopic machines did their work. Upon recovery she had a wellspring of new information at her disposal. What was suppose to be a tech bomb designed to shut down the machine spirits of a facility had rewritten her internal thought matrix. Now she understood, everything she had been working on all these years was a waste. Technology wasn’t limited by connections and programming it was just a step toward the ultimate understanding. An understanding that the nanites didn’t quiet get to fully impregnate into her conscious.<br/>It wasn’t just knowledge but other things the nanites had brought to her. Sensations that she had thought long destroyed by the removal of her human flesh. Emotions that had been removed due to cranial implants to expand her computing power returned in a flood. All of this, she had recovered thanks to these tiny machines of chaos. It could mean only one thing, chaos held the power of true machine evolution. An evolution Hessia had to have.<br/>Since then she had hacked into multiple Imperial logic banks as well as assaulted lesser tech priest directly to seize their knowledge for herself. Her new purpose in life is to create a species of techno based life forms that will be ultimate evolution of mankind. As such her primary coding designates her as Mother. Thus far these efforts have been unsuccessful but she has turned to implementing chaos rituals to “fill in the gaps” of code that cannot fulfill the need.<br/>
