S.M.A. said:Note that LARs (Lethal Autonomous Robots) do not cover drones or UAVs since these have human oversight or control. LARs, if built, are able to make their own decisions, much like certain robots from at least two famous science fiction television and movie series. They might even possibly rebel against their human overseers. >

A Machine Spirit is a supernatural, animistic spirit believed by the adherents of the Cult Mechanicus within the Adeptus Mechanicus (and, from that source, by most other humans of the Imperium of Man) to inhabit and control any piece of machinery or technology in existence. The functioning, or lack thereof, of any machine is believed to be the result of its spirit's disposition. To keep their Machine Spirits happy and cooperative, operators therefore make numerous ritualised advances to the machinery. These depend on the machine, but in most cases include various maintenance rituals and prayers of function and occasionally also an offering or libation.
