You can usually find telltale signs that something is very wrong, like that weird static.

Edit: But of course the worst corruption is the one you invite willingly and gradually.

Keep it simple:
Serial killer case sounds not quite as closed as it's made to be.
Routinely interrogating that lowly corpse taker gets us at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Use our conversation skills to give the unstated impression we mostly came to dig dirt on our rivals.

Edit: Remember, Lord-sire expects at least some hidden maneuvering.

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.

A,D let's send the magos the location of the killing so that he can send servitors (without informing him about our discovery).

And how wrong they are.

I'm not sure if we should contact the Inquisitor just yet.

There's no need to jump to conclusions since this is obviously a fringe Imperial cult dedicated to serving the Emperor via improving on the frailties of the human body. Just as we and even other Space Marine Chapters recognise the weakness of flesh and augment ourselves with the purity of the machine, they have chosen to use a better cut of meat for the same purpose.

Who doesn't want to have better hearing to savour the words of the Imperial Truth? Or better eyes in which to gaze upon holy icons and his visage?

...Or a better sense of taste to devour his immortal essence?

Well, crazy radical cults often cause more damage then actual honest outsider heretics.

So I guess the real question is does a centurion suit, like a battle tank, have a spirit? And if it does, does it want to make new friends?

And/or if a suit malfunctioned for some unspecified and unknown reason could it murder kill it's wearer?

Insofar as a tech priest is concerned the answer to both is yes,
Secretly sabotaging the suit without leaving a trace could be a whole mini adventure in itself.

I'm thinking more that at the high level meeting where the Lord Sire is announcing that this Psyker is his heir he stops and makes a weird noise before reaching up and twisting his own head off. His power armor then hands us his head while we announce that we have the entire hulk rigged with cyclone torpedoes, have united the Deeps who now stand behind us and have full control over all life support functions which are about to pump nerve gas into the bridge and why are you not on your kneeling before your new lord and could someone please toss that loving psyker out the airlock?

As far as recognize it? We'd be able to recognize it, sure. You've never heard of them because they've only been added to the game in the last few years, but retroactively, Centurions have been around for centuries. Understand and modify? That's a whole different kettle of fish, and would probably require us moving farther down the Tech trees as opposed to the infiltration unit direction we've been heading.

Forbidden Lore: Xenos - Well, we're fighting one. Sure would come in handy. (200)
Diplomacy - What's the point of being an undiplomatic emissary? (100)
Medicae - Remember, even the Holy Human Form is a machine, albeit an inferior one. (100)
We need to learn to mend flesh. Saving a dying witness to something suspicious, saving our pets, saving ourselves, providing medical assistance to someone who'll owe us a favor because it, it's quite a long list. Hell, even if we don't care about flesh otherwise, need to know how flesh works in order to know what to replace it with.

A long term goal should be getting forbidden knowledge: arhaeotech, but that can wait until we're not pressed with more immediate concerns.

A reasonable plan, but I'd like to substitute Forbidden Lore: Xenos with Peer: underworld -we're only 20xp points short.

While it's possible that we'll gets something important from Xenos lore, it seems to me that an Underworld peer will give us more bang for our XP.

“Captain Astri. What can I do for you, Lady Ohone?”
“Thank you Captain. I’ve received word from a reliable source that the food processors may be under threat.”
Asti looked pained. “They’ve repelled several assaults by malcontents already, and the Church sisters report it’s nothing they can’t handle. Did your source say what the attack would be?”
You pause. Things may have moved faster than you expected.
“I think those are probing attacks. I intend to move troops to reinforce that position.”
“Very well. I’ll see if I can detach a platoon to make it’s way there, but the resistance is quite strong in that area.”
“Omnissiah with you. Ohone out.”

I'm thinking we verify that the OMEGA threat is here (and not just loving with our heads) before we call it.
We should send a lower priority call informing that the place has been sacked and that we're moving in.
