Rogue Trader (40k) [Wait Listing] [OOC]

[Lunas Legion]

That's decadent by Cassius's standards. Although he'd call him decadent no matter what simply for being a noble, so...

What about the Magos?

Doesn't really care. As long as the ship remains intact, he couldn't care less.

[Morrdh]

You didn't call her Magos explorator! I assume she isn't sold on the idea of the machine spirit.

or just nervous and doesn't know a thing about machine spirits. or how to spot when something goes wrong.

No more than the average person, just enough to do very basic repairs and have a general idea of when something's wrong with the Machine Spirit.

[Hetland 2]

What about the Magos?




How the hell are you form Krieg? Seriously. You act nothing like one. I'm not saying you can't be... But you sure as hell aren't acting like one.

They aren't worked to the bone by his standards, which are pretty grim and literal. If Viktor has them working to the bone, then they are literally working to the bone. He just shows some compassion, though he hides it pretty well.

Touché. But you know what would make them even more efficient?

If you can't tell when something's going wrong with the machine spirit, you can't tell when something's wrong with the ship. And that worries me.

For someone who works with imperial technology quite closely that actually surprises me.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

knowing your magos, hetland, she's going to suggest servitorization, isn't she?

also, whatever you do. don't as me about technology, best Melor can do is tell you how it ABSOLUTELY shoulld not be done. which he probably still won't. that's one bit he'll keep to himself for quite a while.

For the vast bulk of the Imperium technology is basically "it just works, you don't need to know how or why".

Lothwyn would probably know enough to let her fly the craft, but little beyond that.

Turning them into servitors ?

Exactly. Sevitor crews are the most efficient.

And the tech comment wasn't directed at melor. It was directed more at master o' lighters.

YES!

That would take a while though.

YES!

It'd totally be worth it.

[Morrdh]

@Prusslandia; I'm curious on Viktor's views on the crew we have assembled here.

[Morrdh]

It'd totally be worth it.

...just to have this playing on the ship's PA system on an endless repeat.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

actually servitors are less efficient then humans. they just don't complain as much.

Somewhat like Ork tech, just not quite as extreme (I made this observation a long time ago).

[Hetland 2]

They don't complain, they don't need to be feed, they don't require space, they don't feel fear, they don't get into lover spats, they don't get into spats, they don't have independant thought, they don't talk back, they don't shoot well, they don't die just because you've worked them too hard. I see NO problems with this.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

although they also don't learn. or get happy, both of which can be a boon.

[Raktio]

although they also don't learn. or get happy, both of which can be a boon.

or get motivated

... You're ruining the joke.

[Prusslandia]

@Prusslandia; I'm curious on Viktor's views on the crew we have assembled here.

Thinking on that, actually.

[Hetland 2]

Bred, did you include Annerette's Unnatural intelligence(x2) in that roll?

[Morrdh]

Fair dues.

[Bredtonia]

Bred, did you include Annerette's Unnatural intelligence(x2) in that roll?

Yeah, just forgot to write it out. For skill rolls, it just makes it so if you succeed, you count as having succeeded by 1 more.

So I got an 8?

[Bredtonia]

So I got an 8?

No, if had gotten an 8, you would have still failed. But by getting a 7, you get the information as though you had rolled a 6.

[Prusslandia]

Just learned of this, but I am going to be gone for six weeks on the 22nd.

[Hetland 2]

So I got an 8?

No, if had gotten an 8, you would have still failed. But by getting a 7, you get the information as though you had rolled a 6.

So high is bad?
