No one said he had to be present in his entirely. Therefore, it's valid! We could always claim that Saint Husbando raised him from the dead in secret before and he has been resting all this time as we knew he wasn't needed at that time. Also, try to figure out what this drat darkness is. Edit: we should spend our cash on weapons and gear. Our wealth is our might, so says our resident holy saint.

Don't burn profit factor to improve the ship accommodations, instead roll against it to do so at next opportunity.

Shogeton posted:An investment of 5 PF in standards of living seems prudent. This is a religion that is scornful towards luxury and niceties after all. How? As you said, the religion doesn't need nice things. If they encounter them, they burn them. 5 PF is ridiculously ostentatious for them and is more likely to drive them to rebellion than not. If you want to get rid of the Drusians, you have them meet up for Fabiyan's blessing and massacre them all, void the bodies into space, and get a new batch of passengers. Note: killing all of St. Fabiyan's worshippers may have a negative effect on his divinity. Investing / Burning Profit factor is a ridiculous expenditure of wealth. When you have a bunch of profit factor (like we do), you can just roll on a table to get nice things without expending it permanently. Think of this as using a fate point to reroll something vs burning it permanently. You can get more profit factor, but why would you want to burn any in the first place unless it's for something major like getting a total overhaul of our ship by Mechanicus on Mars. When we were offering 10 profit factor for Devries, it was because we had gone insane. It was not because it was the right way to do things.

Ask him about the spine. His own. Nah JK uhhh ask him if there are any secrets or tips that he didn't get to impart before faking his death. We are going to war. He is a brutal soldier. What does the Beast have for us to bring to bear? Ask about the spine. Ask how long he has to live. He's on a respirator, right?

When I voted to spend 5 PF I had temporarily forgotten how the system works, but I remember now. As a refresher: Profit factor is not a representation of the money or wealth that we have. Rather, it is what it says on the can: a representation of the of amount of profit that we as a Rogue Trader bring in on a regular basis. It's not just money, necessarily: especially powerful favors, artifacts and such can also be worth profit factor if the Rogue Trader can find a way to monetize them. When we attempt to acquire something, be it weapons, equipment or what have you, we do not lose profit factor, but roll against it. That is, using our income stream and the various favors that our profit factor represents, we can purchase things without, in theory, making a dent in our overall valuation as Rogue Traders. And the more money and favors you have available, the easier it is to get things. Profit factor can, of course, be gained and lost. When we offered ten profit factor to track down DeVries, we were likely offering to sell incredibly valuable assets to whoever gave him up to us.

Destroy the spine. Xeno-tek can be cleansed for service to the Omnissiah, Warp-tek is damned from inception. Don't squander profit factor. We'll just upgrade our life support system and quarters when we refit at mars. We'll be burning a massive fortune in Mars as is, don't waste further wealth by trying to throw money at a jury rigged solution. Greet Lord Di Muzio, ask if he and his servants would prefer to return to quarters on Alpha Deck. The death of a prior lord sire isn't strictly necessary for the ascension of another. We know this because Anastasia De Vocht's father is still in a box above the command deck. Di Muzio has clearly abdicated his position, and would hardly even have the forces to reclaim the ship if he were so inclined. Show him every courtesy as a ranking member of the family. If he expresses an interest in performing a role on ship, give him one. Otherwise let him have his retirement. Edit: ^^^ There is a mechanic introduced in Into the Storm to permanently burn profit factor to ensure success. That's what we're going to be doing at Mars, but it's still best that we do it all at once. To give a clear idea of what it would take to get the absolute best living conditions possible, we'd need to burn 10 profit factor to get a 95% chance of success or 12 to completely guarantee it. Note that these two mods would make our ship about as habitable as a pleasant terrestrial planet. Also, I strongly expect that we're going to get a significant increase in clout and importance once we send off the message that'll spark the largest war the galaxy has seen in ten thousand years.

Yeah, I see profit factor as a representation of your assets and the income they produce. And it doesn't scale linearly, as I recall. So over several centuries of gallavanting around the galaxy, our family has amassed a lot of wealth. Presuambly it is invested in several diversified portfolios across several subsectors, to minimize risk. Normal purchases just mean hitting the stores with a couple million space-bucks, burning profit factor would be permanently selling off major assets. As far as the previous Lord-Sire is concerned, presumably there have been occasions when this happened before? If not, well, this can be the first. Give him a new job and a pension. Preferably some where far away from the ship. Managing our new Terra offices, for example.

Don't burn profit factor. Role to acquire ship accommodations and upgrades. Ask the former Lord-Sire about the spine. Ask him if he wants to advise us or be left alone. Try to convince him to advise us if he is reluctant to come out of retirement. Ask him for tips and secret knowledge.

People voting to burn profit factor on improving accommodations have no idea how much profit is worth and most of the votes are for burning amounts that could literally buy us a pleasant terrestrial planet. Don't burn profit factor on anything just yet, roll first, negotiate second, burning PF is a last resort. Keep the spine in a box in the attic. Say hi to our predecessor, ask him if he'd like to move somewhere else, and do NOT SLUDGE him.

Actually, in terms of improving living conditions.... Convert the jungle into an arboretum. If it has a sustainable, lush ecosystem, we could probably start farming there. Optimise it a little bit for space and making sure it remains stable, and we could have people actually eating fresh food rather than just nutrient slurry at least every now and then.

Hey so I wonder if we can use the legend of Ohone and Fabiyan's love as a way to turn converts into troops. You know, teach them a sacred hymn or something. Kind of like this:

Also, contact some of the people on Kiera's contact list. I don't mean make friends with Forge Samech, but deals with Ultramar we should definitely follow up on. Tell them she's dead and left her contact list to us as her successor, which is the truth with the omission of some irrelevant details.

yes to wacis plans + some things we should look at Kiera(may she always live on in my heart) left us with a list of "open minded" techpriests. That means they don't work for her BUT are open to more radical ideology and experimentation. If she thought they could work with her they can work with/for us. Research them more in depth, dig up more info to see who would be most approachable since we have no friends in the mechanicus We really screwed up with Matthias. Who else realized that we never spent any time with him and allowed his loyalty to be swayed? We have been taking our underlings loyalty for granted and that cannot go on. Spend more time with everyone. Party with Limosa, have tea with mom, talk philosophy or something with Winterswik, anything. We cannot neglect the people who are working for us!
