PasqalA heavy crown of golden neural augmetics rests upon the servitor's head. The crown is bent and broken from ruthless gun-butt blows. The pale body is covered in blasphemous inscriptions carved into the withered flesh.
Pasqal"I identify this acolyte as a distribution servitor. I am registering upon it traces of sacrilegious violation of the Rite of Operation. The probability of its responsiveness to commands is below average."
YOU[Use your officer's voice] "In the name and for the glory of the God-Emperor, heed my command!"
PasqalA shower of sparks bursts from the mechanism upon the servitor's head, and black, ash-tinted tears make tracks down its pale cheeks. A weak whisper comes from the servitor's lips. "Ready... to perform... my function... Glory... to the Omnissiah..."
Pasqal"Energise the hall's power units to the maximum."
Pasqal"It will... be done..."

YOU[Address the servitor menacingly] "Your function is to serve. And I command you to serve!"

PasqalThe servitor observes your act of petty sacrilege with complete indifference.
PasqalPasqal clicks the claws of his mechadendrite in disapproval. "Do not be disrespectful to the ancient machine spirit this acolyte serves."

PasqalA powerful discharge comes from the augmetics of the servitor you have disturbed. Its entire body convulses. The mouth opens to let out a horrible guttural howl of pain. The heretics around you shriek as they notice you, but their surprise quickly gives way to anger.

Pasqal"For the glory of the Omnissiah, let this machine spirit sleep, that it may awaken and serve again." Pasqal gently touches the servitor's crown, deactivating one of its segments. "Let the outer neural connection circuit be plunged in darkness." Another touch, and several lights on the crown go out. "Let the command response hub fall silent."
PasqalPasqal switches to binharic speech, accompanying his every action with a line from a sacred hymn. It is amazing how the reverent awe in the Tech-Priest's voice can be discerned even through his rattling vox. Suddenly every light on the servitor's crown comes alive.
PasqalA shower of sparks bursts from the augmetics on the servitor's brow, and several black, ash-tinted tears run from its empty eye sockets. "Ready... to serve..."
Pasqal"Energise the hall's power units to the maximum."continues where this line first appears above
PasqalThe rite of ceremonial restarting fails to awaken the insensate servitor. The augmetics on its brow spark weakly.
