A monument to the Kriegers and Saint Fabiyan.

All doors, weapons, etc... are under our control

No more having torpedoes shot at us by our own ship or getting locked out by quarantines.

This, plus try to figure out the radius/impact of our untested weapons. The null rod and/or high marshal artifact, etc. Can we use the Gargant Slayer with a mechadendrite while in power armor? If so, we should carry it. I want to understand what weapons are available to us and when they're most impactful.

I'm also serious about checking with the Iron Hands about that spine and using our huge brain on the Magos's library of data to see what we can glean. Make our Kreigers supermen or something, the Magos-level biologis data isn't going to be 100% heresy. Or some can be applied in a non-heretical fashion.

e: okay I re-read your post and realize you're looking at the immediate term. I'd prioritize the data and Iron Hand convo over the weapons testing.

Who also made "No AI" a fundamental part of the Great Crusade. He'd probably want us to take whatever technology we could salvage while jetissoning the AI core into the nearest son. Perhaps we'll one day be able to ask him....

Easier access to the ship guns. A camera in every home, every business, and every public and private space. A machine spirit to filter, sort, and tag relevant data from those cameras. Full integration of all ship systems into the command deck.

We should also work on finding that missing water. And that Eldar artifact.

Let's rewrite history to say that St. Fabiyan, scourge of the Xeno, bane of the mutant, died on Golgotha in single combat against a Hive Tyrant that had wiped out the rest of his squad of Kriegers, killing the beast in the process.

With Thunder hammer in hand, and
Faith in his heart,
No xenos could stand against him
As he tore them apart

And so St Fabiyan charged,
So shiny! So chrome!
Witness me, he cried
And so witness did our lord-sire Ohone

We should definitely come up with an official hagiography and turn the ship into a mobile shrine world, as it were. Whenever we roll up into a new system, we put out a marketing campaign for the Beast as a pilgrimage destination. See the spot where St. Fabiyan was reborn on wings of faith! Marvel at the bunker where he inspired the schoolchildren to fight to the death! Visit the souvenir shop where relics and motivational DVDs are sold for only a modest increase over MSRP! That way we can have a steady stream of new recruits and income to help subsidise the costs of running the ship.

From the day we arrive on the Beast
And blinking, step into the Deeps
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But Omnissiah on high
Through the endless sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Fabiyan of Light
And it moves us all
Through Dregs in Between
Through Alpha deck and Above
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
It's the Fabiyan
The Fabiyan of Light

It's the Fabiyan of Light
And it moves us all
Through Kriegers and Hope
Through Brains in boxes
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
It's the Fabiyan
The Fabiyan of Light

Make some rocket packs for Fabiyan's Kriegers.

Investigate the powered human ship the Orks were trying to get into.

Investigate the shrines to the "Architect," and the giants, see if we recognize anything.

gently caress with Devrie's simulation just for giggles.

See if we can find any surviving Orks, and attempt to beat them into accepting the light of the God-Emperor.

Jump packs require very specialized training and combat doctrine. It would clash with the standard Krieg trench doctrine pretty badly. However you're in luck, there is in fact a segment of the Krieg dedicated to cavalry warfare. They would be much better suited to the kind of shock tactics that type of equipment favors.

Beyond all this, building literally thousands of jump packs isn't exactly something we can do before the staff meeting.

I plucked that one out of the update where Fabiyan woke up and started taking charge of the battle - at one point he mused about requesting jump packs for some of the Kriegers as they'd be pretty useful. I figured I was just fulfilling a request!
