I thought the rating was for how implody you were for daemons and how far out your not-soul extends, but you were immune no matter what rating?
Depends on what version LowellDND rolls with, same for the Fellowship.

Man, you explain much more thoroughly than I do, but you're kinda missing the bit where channeling the Warp through a Machine buffer is a Daemon Engine and it's what the Dark Mechanicus does. We'd be a special archetype in BC for it, Idolitrex Magos of Forge Polix.

If we do go Psyker totally get the Lady Gaga spars, they rock.

Arkanomen inadvertently reminded me that we can't become a psyker without extensive surgery. Ohone has an implanted null field generator in her head.

Put them in matrix style sleep/dream pods. Saves space so we can maximize efficiency. Could probably make them aware of it and they'd still be cool. Maybe partially servitorized skulls would be more efficient?

Doesn't make it better but... Eh.

Does the warp exist in areas without sentient life? This is actually an important question.

The other possibility, 180 from the psyker thing.
I think we could do more to get in touch with our goddess, Athena. Since we have a connection and appear to be something like her right hand or champion, I think we should pick up Cog Whisperer: Athena. It makes sense, considering we have a direct line to her in our head, and she occasionally helps out. Its cheap for what it does(300), the free +10 in our dealings with her includes social interactions, and the fate-point power will be pretty crucial in fixing her up later(assuming golgotha survives).

Taking that a step further, it could be appropriate to ask lowell for permission to take Pure Faith as an elite advance(in athena, as an extension of the Omnissiah, and thus the emperor). Along with cog whisperer, it would be a really nice way to solidify that bond as her champion into something potent, and I mean besides being a talking head. notable powers: the ability to spend a fate point to not gain insanity/corruption from an encounter. If anything, I see ohone's mental issues being a problem in the future, and also a good motivation to drive her closer to her goddess.

Not aligning ourselves as a totally indespensible captain of a sacred ark mechanicus before heading to mars at all. No siree. Just something to thing on.

I'd advocate this

Unrelated- is Athena actually an Ark Mechanicus?, I mean the Imperium already has those where as Athena seems far superior- like a Star Destroyer piloted by quantum SkyNet or something

No, Athena is not an Ark. The Ark Mechanicus is a designation given to ships and fleets created by the early cult of Mars to find lost technology. The Arks were created to FIND something like Athena, as their entire reason for existing was to locate an intact STC.

Coincidentally, this means that if they hear the message we'll have every one still functional returning to Golgotha to take part in the battles.

I have to admit that I'm kind of worried that Cog Whisperer means we're going to start trying to neg on Athena or other skeezy, Dark Mechanicus PUA techniques.

And if we have True Faith in anyone, it should be ourselves. We've already built a cult and made a Saint, so what does that make us?

Ok, so we ask CS to create a probe that has no organics or machine spirit, just a video recorder with sound. Then we throw it into the warp and pick it up later. If the warp goes quiet as it moves away from us we can conclude that the warp is powered by sentient souls (or their facsimile),and that the way forward is to erase all life from the Galaxy.

Just plowed through this, don't suppose we know enough forbidden lore that next time we get a super generic "join us for everything you could ever want" offer from the warp we could possibly go "No, and frankly if I ever did decide something was worth inevitably getting turned into a tortured pawn for I'd sooner start eating human flesh and ordering everything in sets of 11."
Honestly I think there were times where if Malal came a-knocking Ohone would've taken the offer in a heartbeat processing cycle though not so much at this particular moment.

We were told to list any kind of gear we might want to get from the Malleus stronghold, so big list of daemon hunting gear:

    Dark Heresy - Inquisitor's Handbook
  • Hexagramatic Wards - Resistance to psyker powers and allows armor to block demonic claws.
  • Sanctified Weapons - For anything that we can't get relics, we want this. Not as good, but still hurts chaos stuff.
  • Psycannon Bolts - Special ammo for our chest bolter that does extreme damage to psykers and demons.
  • Calixian Black Grimoire - A general "Heresy and You" inquisitor's manual.

    Dark Heresy - Daemon Hunter
  • Heavy Incinerators - To replace our flamers. Better versions that also burn away sorcery & demons.
  • Grimoire of True Names - Helps us research specific demons so we can better kill them.
  • Malleus Armor Warding - Inflicts minor damage on demons striking our armor.
  • Melanchromic Organ - A space marine cybernetic that greatly improves toughness. We already have black carapace, so...
  • Personal Teleporter - Because walking is for plebs.
  • Psyk-Out Grenades - Fills the area with a cloud of dust that does awful things to psykers.
  • Other Space Marine Augments, same book.
  • Larraman's Organ - Extra Heart, protects against blood loss
  • Catalepsean Node - Ignore the effects of sleep-deprivation
  • Omophagea - Eat brains, steal their secrets.
  • Sus-an Membrane - Enter suspended animation at will.
  • Neuroglottis - Improved scent/taste memory. Can detect poisons and track like a bloodhound.
  • Betcher's Gland - Can spit acid.

    Rogue Trader - Faith & Coin
  • Ashen Skull - More protection against psyker/demon mind control.
  • Catechisms of Saint Drusus - Our cult is based in part on Drusian's teachings. Useful inspiration tool.
  • Drusine Incense - The smoke forces demons to materialize, weakening their defenses.

If I forgot anything, point it out.

Edit: ↓↓↓ Added additional space marine augments by request. All others reproduce effects our own augments already give.

Sure.

Well, we did start a cult dedicated to worshipping us, kinda. The whole "The Iron Maiden" thing but that's not a cult so much but rather something heading towards a holy abhuman sect. Besides, if we get saint then the Emperor himself knows and approved of what we are doing and I'm not sure if he would. Approved of Fabiyan though so who knows.
