Prevent the ship from blowing up while Red 5 drives off. Then, announce that the race was actually a secret test of character to see who's mind was the most focussed on keeping the ship intact in the event of a (totally planned) catastrophe like this. Declare yourself the winner.

Then have everyone who cries foul turned into servitors.

Hmm ok. But as a tech priest would it be feasible at some point in the future to weaponize a warp drive and fire demons at people?

I thought it sounded familiar, so I did some checking. Here's what I found after a search:

It's a reference to "Kill a Commie for Mommy," a slogan apparently coined by one Col. David H. Hackworth during the Korean War.

It's way cooler for Ohone to steel her soul in the face of evil than to just fall over at its feet. I mean sure Ohone might die anyway but that's the price of being a badass.

I believe that we can eventually develop into a sort of Inquisitor who believes he can serve the Emperor by means perhaps not considered conventional, without necessarily falling to Chaos.

I'm sure that half of the corrupted inquisitors in 40k lore have said this same sentence.

Slice of Life IV

For whatever reason, that ship is inaccessible. The corridors to it are blocked off by debris and blast doors, pillars of flame, arcing electricity. Behind those barriers, though, if anyone ever was able to look - they would see lichen everywhere, and little animals, and hopping garden tenders. They would see small fungal creatures, wearing the regalia of blue skulls.

Well, that's ominous!

Slice of Life V

Behind the walls and under the floors of the Deep, there is a small colony of mutants making their life. It couldn’t be said to be thriving, really - Limosa brought in the Greycloaks a year ago and immolated more than half - but they exist down there. Some of the Dregs leave out food, or small tools. And sometimes, you might need help when you can’t get it anywhere else.

And sometimes a mutant will help you.

And this is incredibly adorable!

Also, B. Give them a moment to surrender. We need answers more than anything.

Limosa or DeVries seem like the logical options for the mastermind. Hilariously expensive method of assassination, poor proficiency with mechanicus-related skills.

Call me dense for asking, but is Ohone's name pronounced O-Hone, or Oh-One? I'm assuming the latter for the binary pun, but I'd like confirmation.
