The Machine God slumbered under Mars for Thousands of Years. Even when he began to feel worship coursing through his veins he was in a sense still a slumbering giant. When he was lucid within those dreams he would occasionally act towards those that were near him, and those of the Machine Cult correctly assumed that these workings were that of a deity instead of weird happenings around him.
It was in these dreams that a desire for worshippers had come. For that desire he had, the Machine God began to have those worshippers. Each and every one of their prayers were like music to his ears as he stirred just that little but within the unfocused realm that he lived within.
He was in some way content in these dreams. He did not suffer from hunger nor did he feel as trapped as he was. Forever he swam through the waves of the Universe and somewhat half heartedly wondered just what it was he saw. For indeed his vast intelligence was lost to him in these lucid states of wonder, for if he had intelligence he would wonder just what he had gotten himself trapped within.
But then again, was he truly trapped? Did he not have what all Gods of the Universe were seeking. The truth that all the C’Tan who did not understand their own nature failed to recognize. They were deities, gods, and for that they were to be given worship but also pay back that worship when they could. That is the relationship he held with the Cult Mechanicus, thus he slumbered.
But then he felt it. A jolt of energies that were sickening and which threatened to drown him with ruin. His being, his existence, was quickly awoken as he felt all those wounds that the Necrontyr had inflicted upon his body when they tore him limb from limb. It was a hideous reminder of just how much power was flowing upon what he realized was Terra in that single second.
As a C’Tan he was no fool. Those that were making the attack were the Chaos Gods. Three who had fully formed and one that was both formed and still in gestation. They were playing the game against the Knight and thus would wage war within the galaxy.
In truth the Machine God looked upon this happen and tried to think of something. He could feel that he was not fully awakened for not all of his selves had risen from the sleep the Necrons had induced upon him. Thus he was but a single shard awakened by the happenings near him. He could not help or hinder, only watch as the Chaos Gods ruined the project the Knight had begun.
But as a C’Tan he understood everything that was to come to pass. Even the Chaos Gods, the creatures who truly were his foe, did not fully comprehend the Universe as he does. Such was to be expected, for they only knew as much as every being that was connected to them knew.
So, with this knowledge, the C’Tan noticed something passing through the warp. And suddenly he was taken by it.
