#surtr-3

The current timeline in my head for Sanctum Novis is that it was founded as a penal colony under a different name as a place to put the radical hereteks who were still loyal to the Imperium, but are too extreme even for Xenarites to safely associate with.

Then-Explorator Verthandi-1 was one of the first techpriests interred there, and she was also the one to organize it into a forgeworld proper. Publicly, she did so as a sign of penance and devotion to the Imperium. Privately, it was so she could have a reasonable cover to continue her heretical work into the fields of worker control, production, and how best to utilize the mission given to her by Belisarus Cawl himself. Verthandi-1 turned her search inward, and became the first of the Devisorium of Sanctum Novis. As Forgemaster, she has since become one with her forges - extensive cybernetics and additional cogiators allowing her to process vast quantities of data gathered by the population. It is under her iron rule that Sanctum Novis has become a haven for loyalist Hereteks of all stripes.

Magos Electro-Priest Surtr-1 was killed during the establishment of the Muspelheim power plant, sacrificing himself in order to tame the volcanic forces that now generate energy for the moon. His successor, Surtr-2, was promoted to his rank, and she ran the plant until a massive industrial accident following the experiments of Magos Genator Sigyn-1 that lead to the deaths of herself, Magos Electro-Priest Surtr-2, uncountable numbers of servitors, and the temporary loss of the Biologos labs resulting from an infestation of modified Tyranids brought Sanctum Novis back under scrutiny.

A supervisory cohort was assembled by Martian leaders, headed by Magos Dominus Caprella, and sent to Sanctum Novis to determine what, exactly, the Novites are doing.

I love this ask so much.

Verthandi-1 is not allowed to partake on account of she runs the entire facility. She does, however, appreciate CBD as a method of pain relief.

Caprella chainsmokes cigarettes, when he's off duty he chainsmokes dirt weed that barely does anything, and on special occasions he partakes in only the finest of terra-grown pure strains. The man needs to calm down somehow.

Surtr-3 hotboxed Muspelheim once and got too high and started seeing ghosts. Surtr-3 is no longer allowed to have cannabis unsupervised as a result.

Othala-Haegl-1-12 is unable to feel the effects of most drugs that aren't combat stimulants, given that she's almost entirely mechanical (and a solid chunk of that is necrodermis), but she's partaken with Caprella and used their noospheric link to share a high with him, which resulted in the two of them laughing at recordings of Astares tripping for three hours.

Pertho-Yr-0-1-7 is also unable to feel the effects of most drugs unless his inhibitors are turned off, which they haven't been for years. If it had half a puff it would get couchlocked immediately and then start attacking shadows.
