Minor quibble - your last level up got you synth flesh, so you look like a normal void born, not a tech priest. (and presumably, can vat grow different colorations later to fit in other places)

I haven't read Knights of Sidonia, but it looks interesting.

I was thinking more our dress as a member of the Family and obvious wealth. I assumed we're dressed as per normal, our character doesn't seem like the kind of person who would ever learn to dress down and blend.

To put it another way: We're a Tech Priest, not a detective, dammit!

2 We need a fleet of servo skull buddies.

To elaborate a bit for the non-acolyte people. When they said "simple Fel" they were using shorthand for the first rank of attribute increase. All basic attributes (WS/BS/Str/Ect) can be raised up to four times for an increase of +5 per upgrade. Each upgrade costs an escalating amount, and the shorthand goes as follows: Simple -> Intermediate -> Trained -> Expert. So hopefully that makes it a little easier to participate in experience spending.

Man, then aren't our stats kinda sucky, and won't they always suck?

Also just checked the OP, where's all that corruption from?

Whatever we do we should make it absolutely clear to the Lord-Sire that what-his-face laziness and incompetence is what allowed the killings to continue and the Warp creature to go undetected. Who knows how long it could have gone undetected, and what it might have done, if we hadn't been so diligent?

I disagree here. For one thing, now is not the time for that--we can settle whose fault it is once we've explained what's going on and gotten things under control. And if we want to throw our idiot cousin under the bus, we shouldn't seem too eager. The Lord-Sire isn't stupid, he knows what he asked the guy to do, and if we lay things out he'll come to the obvious conclusion without us holding his hand.

But, do we want to lay this all on him? If there's a way we bump some heat off to a third party, or suggest that he be let off lightly, we should. We have plenty of family members, if we get him blamed for a Warp incursion and spaced (or worse), another will take his place. But if he stays where he is but owes us his life, he could be an asset. A stupid, clumsy asset, but times may call for a hammer to complement our scalpel.

You're forgetting that Lord-Sire has basically no information regarding the serial killer-warp entity link. And that our idiot cousin, and I can't emphasize this enough, overlooked a warp incursion in the process of murdering the wrong guy. We absolutely should throw him under the bus, because the guy in charge basically just asked us to do so. What time should we play this card if not immediately post-crisis when the man in charge is A) Giving us his full and undivided attention and B)is probably looking for someone to punish?

This guy is in direct competition with us. Trying to blackmail him after the fact will just give him every incentive to try to murder us. And what would we blackmail him with? We have no physical proof that he's culpable. And what would we say if we decided to follow through? "Oh yes Lord-Sire I only just now remembered that my dear cousin nearly got us all killed by overlooking a Warp incursion, I somehow completely let that slip my mind the other day when you asked me about it."

We aren't just trying to get this guy killed, we want him permanently out of the running to inherit the top spot. The Lord-Sire expects maneuver, and I'd say crashing your rival into his own blithering incompetence is a drat good maneuver.

You're right, we haven't. Which is why we're bringing the probable existence of a cult to our Liege's attention. And throwing cousin Scapegoat under the bus, just in case.

e: This is beyond the point where we can keep this subtle. Our Inquisitorial boss is going to be angry, but when the situation reached the point where a demon materializes, there wasn't much else we could have done.

Whether he gets pissed of at us depends on whether it was the cults existence itself or merely the Inquisition's investigation into them that was supposed to remain secret. If it is the latter, then we should be okay.

D then C but we absolutely have to attend one of those parties. Our fellow competitors just asked us to pick sides, I think.

I have to wonder if Amacita is sorta incompetent and non-threatening, or just wants to appear that way.

We should secretly meet with both if we can.

B4 with Uniting the Gangs as a long term goal. Uniting the Gangs and getting them to follow us means real control of the Deeps, which is something I think that perhaps our dear Family undervalues greatly.

My paranoia also suggests these strange organs, the daemon, this new drug, and the cult we're searching for are all linked.
