Yay we get to have our own augmented arm! A good start!

B. Have the bodies of the Augmented fallen sent to the Mechanicus over our Praetorians.

This is an opportunity to get a shiny upgrade for our arm! And A. These people must pay the price for defending their homes, their lives, their children.

A - sell the kids to the mechanicus. They've probably already been indoctrinated into laser-worship and won't get along with the Augmented.

I don't know, it seems to me there would be significantly more adults than children around for the Mechanicus.

Of course they have been worshiping a false god and would be in significant troubles for that alone..

B. I think the Praetorians will understand that this isn't a common occurrence right? Riiiiight?

Edit: Quite glad I caught up in time to weigh in on this one.

We don't even know if they want them. They might not have the space, time or augmetics available to deal with a sudden influx of youth.

Besides, children are cheap, we can buy them some of those wherever once we have a ship.

I don't much like it, but A. Life is cheap, and heretical space-brats don't really matter. Even their own High Priestess didn't really care much, so why should we?

I assume that the augmented can make their own still? At any rate, they need space to mine, need to set up a new base, so yeah, children are a distraction. Although a children's creche does give a bonus to growth and efficiency.

They already have a crèche in their own claim. This would have been more like an injection of children. Plus, you know, feeling good about not turning innocent children into servitors and slaves of the Machine Cult.

Proper care and education for our children remains a cornerstone of our entire colonization effort. Children not only shape our future; they determine in many ways our present. Men and women work harder knowing their children are safe and close at hand, and never forget that, with children present, parents will defend their home to the death!

Not sure if you get the bonus with another clan's children.

Oh god, this is presumably some internet Millgram experiment, I'm sure.

The engravings should be in gold, yes but the rest of the arm should be in tasteful palladium.
