Definitionally no. If you're asking if we can unlock C'Tan enlightenment without also triggering the war-slave programming, probably not, and definitely not without some serious soul surgery.

No, absolutely not. Think of being an Architect as being a Death Company Blood Angel only infinitely worse. There is Absolutely no return possible or even considerable from that state. As in you would require Old Ones to have a chance of restoring such an Exatari to normality. Well I guess if you got Emps, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Khorne, Slaanesh and all the other gods of Chaos to work in harmony you could potentially restore an Architect.
It's an axiomatic state of being in short. An Architect of war is an Architect of War, there is no shades to it, there is no questioning of it, there is no nuance to it. It is absolute.
In short the only way to handle an Architect is via sheer overkill and absolute war against them. There is no diplomacy, there is no leniency, there is no mercy, either the Architect dies or everyone else dies.

is there an Architect of Shadows or others?

Architects are not scholars, there is only one type of Architect. An Architect does not have limits beyond everything they do must be combat viable. An Architect is equally at home making a bioweapon able to propagate via spacetime as they would be making a stealth field able to hide planets or making a weapon able to shatter planets.
Can Atraxas control himself if he theoretically becomes an architect?
Was ask before and is 100% no

Atraxas becoming an Architect is basically the closest to a Universal Bad End possible, without Chaos becoming vastly more powerful. It would take Atraxas mere decades to escalate into a being that could solo most of the galaxy, a century or two at the outside before even the Necrons would be nothing compared to him. The issue is that Atraxas as an Architect would start near Necron tech level and escalate stupidly fast from there upward.
The best case is that Atraxas the Architect dies within a decade that sees the most of the Imperium, most of the Eldar and probably several Tomb Worlds annihilated. The worst case is that the galaxy is annihilated before The Architect expands to other galaxies and starts consuming them to feed the war machine.

The Exatari as a culture would refuse to use even VIs let alone AIs. Also the Tau are not yet a thing really.
Was more thinking of getting our rouge trader to get us some, as really they are the only other race that has something usefully as Eldar and Necrons are a no go
Also has all the new things we have been sending them, has that change anything of the Exatari plans for the future? like maybe expand beyord there homeworld and the like

Not really, the Exatari basically plan on expanding when 1) Their pop mandates it, and 2) when they basically have to in order to provide more resources. Currently their plan is to wait for the next galactic disaster like the Age of Strife to begin considering expansion.
What's the origin story of the Exatari? also, how do we fight the tyranids (being galaxy sized plus) ?

Mentioned in the info post, in short they resulted from Necrodermis being thrown into their homeworld during the WiH. Also, you dont fight the nids, at least no better than anyone else.
Just because you are the main character of a quest does not mean that Atraxas is that special on the greater scale.

Well, no better than anyone else with advanced Veil Tech fighting a species that can't eat us and relies on a constant telepathic network. Which very reasonably might not be enough when up against the greater swarm outside the galaxy.

The Nids could eat the Exatari, it's just that your biomass is problematic to work with compared to other species. The Nids will consider Exatari to be more mobile ore nodes than true species, so useful but not less so than organic matter. I will say that the Hive Mind is going to more or less ignore your warp shred, that is fairly condensed localized to the Exatari in general.
The Hive Mind if it tried to connect to an Exatari would find 0 success but just controlling other nids wouldnt be impacted. Although, the one upside is that genestealers can't work on Exatari. Your reproductive system is too different and impersonal to tamper with, to not consider the whole part where the Hive Mind cant link to Exatari period.
I can't find the origin story
Edit: It's not, I could only fin the history after the WIH like the first tribes and Mausoleums.

It's in the Exatari Lore informational post I believe

I meant more active uses of meta tech, probably also leveraging the Life Library rather than just our passive warp shred. At the very least, Inversion Arrays would work very well on Synapse beings.

The Blade Will Never Die
Expanding on this, various Ciaphas Cain novels (plus some Culexus lore) confirm that Blanks do fuck with Nids and especially Synapse Organisms, with the caveat that they don't disintegrate like demons or even feel debilitating pain like psykers, and a Hive Tyrant without psychic powers is still a five meter tall armored monster with claws, acid blood, cunning intellect and sometimes a gun.
Breaking their control over the swarms of lesser bioforms is a massive tactical advantage, but somewhat less of a coup than Blanks normally experience in their specialty. Like how Abbadon was able to finish razing Cadia even after Cawl fully activated the Pylons because a 10,000 year old Space Marine is still a badass, even without daemon troops or infernal blessings.
Still though, the capacity to become Blank at will and Meta Shields to blacklist the Hive Mind or harness said Blankness to snipe Synapse Organisms does put us on better ground than the Imperium or probably even Eldar.
Would power armor be something that the Exatari would want? i would boost there fighting force, also our private army can get things like Force and Power weapons, are those things things something our would like to learn from?
What do the different people of Shogi think of the MC?

I mean, they sorta seem to just attach tech to their bodies as needed, and they are made of the same stuff most powered armor would be made of... It's sorta like asking the admech why they don't bother with powered armor for the most part. Why would they? It's more in line with their thinking to just replace the squishy bits wholesale whenever possible.

its mostly done so far, managed to do it all in one update unlike the last two updates. Some good/bad news in that Atraxas has Broken in a semi stable fashion.
