4.0

Short story from Black Library about UR-025, conscious robot from ages ago, living hidden on board the Black Fortress.

When Mechanicum exploratory team arrives, UR-025 knows he needs to do something to hide his identity. And so he decides to act.

Interesting story about the Man of Iron, as these AI automata are known in Warhammer 40k lore.

Recommended for all fans of SF and Terminator-like stories.

We’re first introduced to 'Imperial Robot' UR-025 through the eyes of Rein the ratling, before the robot joins with a party of Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests and heads into the Fortress in search of archeotech. Once within the shifting halls of the Fortress the priests are reliant upon UR-025 for both directions and protection, all the while unaware of its real reasons for choosing to accompany them.

There’s not a huge amount of plot to get stuck into, but if you like a bit of unusual (and intriguing) 40k lore then you’ll have plenty to enjoy here.
