You do realize that they only saw the unsanctioned technology right?
Oh he could totally remove them. It's just that edgy identity and/or body integrity/agency/expression reasons prevent him from doing so. Something about taking validation from the act of refraining from self-modifying in the face of societal rejection or something to that effect.
Either way the result is the same. No matter how it's declared his friends and him will still get hunted down, bribed to turn against him, spy on him, raid his lab, etc all the same and they will do whatever they can to either force MC to destroy the tech or give it to them. Bad end either way as such his only option is burning his current Id and run away.
Indeed, but it would not be quite as bad... Which admittedly doesn't mean much
Again this vey much depends on the particular tech priest finding it out.
The tech priest only matters for one faction, the rest of the factions and groups wont give a shit about that and go though any means necessary approach.
Remember when you got eleven different kinds of pissy in another CF story thread because the main character refused to murder a pregnant teenager for the sake of operational security?
That random girl deserved to die and caused mc lots of trouble later on but lets not derail by going into other story stuff.
Like I said don't derail here. @ me on discord if you or Gulping want to argue this again.
I had no particular chaos god in mind when I wrote about the laughing. Slannesh or Tzeentch are good picks if you want to go that route, or even a major daemon if you wanna look lower. The point was that it was an attempt to exploit a weakness, that would have worked if not for Valkyrie Cores being Bullshit.
oh the fighting: yes, most of the Imperial forces will look at what actually happened andstart asking questions about who set up a deep cover agent in a position to be able to stop that. The rest will deflect those questions while digging for whoever it was for potential recruitment or at least directing.
it is a part of Satori's character as as soldier from a non-grimdark world that fighting to protect is paramount. The risk to his own person is one that he is willing to take.
not just tech priest. as noted above, there are inquisitors who would LOVE to get their hands on this tech. Politics become involved because regardless of the actual state of treatment for people, the sheer advantage is too huge to ignore.
R3 as performed by the Unites States Military:
not an idea that I had thought of, but a good one. I will take it under advisement. Thank you.
it will be...interesting. raction is likely to be within the next three chapters. look forward to it.
THIS. Psykers are tolerated precisely because they are far, FAR too useful to ignore in any capacity, even with the insane risk attached to them. it's why the strict and rigorous testing is applied at all levels to ensure they can wield their powers to the fullest extent, as the best defense against a psyker and other perils ofthe worp is another psyker.
Basically what Nimeroni says here, plus that the advanced tech was meant to be a failsafe in case something went south. the situation here was not just south but downright 0 to Charlie Foxtrot. He was literlly just trying to get some breathing room and was somewhat panicked.
The other prisoners did not show outward signs of infection. That being said, Satori did not bother to check. whether or not this comes back to bite in the ass remains to be seen.
You have a link to this fic?
It very much depends on the priest and the forge world they belong to.
Nope. There are trillions of tech-priests among the Forges and various bases and ships, but only a small fraction try to innovate.
He doesn't have those yet. Not sure if it's been vetoed or not.
It would have to be crackable thought. Or at least partly. Others being capable of creating lesser versions of it would be interesting. Not that many would even be capable of comprehending what they are seeing or how it works
