All but my 6 senses cut off as my sensors were cut off by one of my emergency magic protections. My jets were disabled by an unknown force and my mind was suppressed to just my body. The world shifted and I slammed into a spotless floor made of gold. Some kind of vapor was pouring out of something behind me as I began climbing to my feet. My armor started falling from my body as emergency protection magic started shunting it and other technological part of me. Everything integrated with flesh remained intact and running but my sensors flopped out of mh head and my nano forges squeezed from my stomach. As I stood I realized what was happening. My magic protections had gotten rid of all my automated technology.
I kneeled and yanked every spatially expanded container and put them into my body. The ones with automated tech I looked over, then dumped finding my magic had scrapped them as well. I dumped everything into a pile and checked the tech I still had. I quickly found the only things I had were my healing tech, a basic nano forge, and a hydrogen reactor.
I sprinted away from the pile of stuff and magically activated the self destruct of my tech. The destruction mimicked a thermal detonator but with powerful fiendfyre. Within seconds everything inside the small barrier was consumed and the golden floor was darkened by surviving particulate.
After taking care of that I looked around. I was in some kind of chamber. I'd fallen out of some kind of cryo pod thing. The room was full of the pods but I could only see into a few. They seemed to be full of humans but every one of them had something different about them. As I got to the end of the room I finally realized I was only wearing some underwear. I quickly put on clothes and armor from my storage and grabbed an heavy blaster and an energy shield.
After preparing for wherever I was I went down a short hallway and found a door. It was large, just like everything else, and golden. Beside it was some kind of control panel with a green and red button. I pressed the green button and the door shot up into the ceiling. I instinctively raised my blaster and shield and swept the room. This room was even more massive than the last.
I entered the room that seemed to go on for miles. It looked like the laboratory of some giant who'd made the place out of mountains of gold. I continued till I found what looked like a side room. I went through it and found a large and long hallway to another door. I went to it and opened it. What I found was some kind of museum or treasury. The displays in the room towered over me so I was forced to jump to the top of them.
Inside the glass of the case was a large book about 3 1/2 feet tall with some kind of simple golden circlet beside it. I stored my blaster and shield then opened the case. I had to hang from the edge to used a simple lock then lift the large 6ft lid away. While I stood 7 feet tall the case was so much bigger that my considerable strength still struggled with it.
I quickly dug into the book and found out many bad things the circlet was a direct creation of the Emperor and was connected to his extreme power in order to make the wearer a saint level being. Just the emperor, extreme power and saint stuff told me where I'd ended up. The other connections I found simply backed up my guess. I took the artifact of the emperor and stuffed it away to look around more. I continued looking through the place till I came upon something vaguely person like. It was a massive golden mech with a massive glaive like weapon.
Remembering this universe I could guess it was a dreadnought or the like as the massive golden armor looked like its pilot was also in armor. The massive gold and red lump of sentient armor stared down at me as I stared at it. It seemed to straighten its back and look away from me so I slowly inched away, out of its direct gaze. I didn't know much about the Warhammer 40k universe but I did know I was most likely inside the imperial palace. That ment I was in a massive complex the size of the Himalayas.
Inside the palace was its best known guards, the Custodians. The massive being of just met was likely a custodian dreadnought or such. I had no idea why it left me alone besides a guess at me being a part of this place. I continued on while keeping an eye out for more guards and stumbled upon some weapons near a nasty feeling place. I quickly looked over the weapons and found a relatively small power warhammer. For an astartes or custodian this warhammer would probably be a one to two handed weapon but for me it was definitely a two handed weapon.
As I looked at a massive adamantium staff I felt multiple gazes land on me. My mind and other powers were heavily restricted but I felt massive power from my watchers. I turned while lowering the warhammer and found 6 custodes looking at me. One of them was speaking to the rest as they looked at me. My mind easily understood most of what they were saying as the language wasn't horribly complex as it had been made by people of earth. Some of the words spoken made no sense or seemingly had no context, but I caught a few parts of what the 'leader' spoke.
"The homunculi are… attempts… artificial saint level humans. Most die at… none are… the power they can wield is… emperor blessed. They are know to occasionally awaken and prepare themselves for…."
Here he stopped as the rest had gathered around me. Five massive people in golden armor looked down at me. My instincts screamed in fight or flight as the last custodes bid them to back away.
"Homunculi usually don't have much… and die while down here. Some however are….
This one is clearly… and may be of some use. I will need to report this one to…"
At that he reached down and grabbed my hammer. He laid it back on the display thing and then grabbed me by the back of my collar like I was a naughty little kitten. I would have swatted at him and yelled but swatting would probably be bad and my voice wouldn't work despite it being in functional condition. As the custodes carried me off I swear I could feel the amusement of the other custodes. I simply let my body go limp as I made sure the emperor connected circlet was within easy reach.
I had easily figured out half sleeping in the cyberpunk world so I took a partial nap while we traversed the palace. After what felt like days, as my internal clock had been digital and connected to an automatic system, we finally came to a massive door. It was much larger than any other I seen and clearly carried an air of power.
As the doors opened a massive explosion sounded and the ground trembled. Had I been standing I'd have fallen, as the ground visibly moved. Another explosion rocked the palace and the custodes set me down. They all charged off back the way we'd come and I was left their wondering what was going on.
The next explosion was much worse compared to the previous ones. I quickly started bouncing on the shaking ground and slammed into a wall. The hit was hard but I had protection against such damage. I easily stood after the shaking and looked for anything that might help me know what was going on. Eventually I simply went through the massive doors that had been left open.
As I entered my mind was assaulted by power. I collapsed to my hands and knees panting. I felt a mass of power buildup within me as I began glowing. I pulled out the circlet wondering if it had been the cause only to find it was now a ring of dry clay that crumbled in my hand. I fell to my side as my body stopped functioning. A blinding white gold light emitted from me as I felt as if I were floating. There was no pain as I simply floated there, not knowing how long it had been going on for.
Suddenly the light cut out and I collapsed. Before the world disappeared I glimpsed an old man in black robes approaching me with a flame capped staff.
