Core of War

Reader mode
[x] An empty husk of a C'tan's body, the mind and most of the power gone.
[x] A Data-core, with the mark of Tzaron the Master of the Spheres upon it.
[x] A relatively small captured Krork arsenal, cleaned of anything that would allow them to spread their spores.
Yeah, getting husk of a C'tan gives us high possibility of getting our core an avatar!

Eh unlikely, at best we can use it to produce a bunch of c'tan phase blades, wearing the husk like a onesie wpuld be nice but we probably lack the capabilities to do it, at least for now.

This is currently correct, as you cannot just pop your core into the C'tan's body with no research or trying to figure it out. You could make it a Research Goal, and then study it when the option for that happens on turn 2, however.

Agreed. Don't see any use for C'tan shard without the powers it provides, which it could only do if occupied and I don't trust the bastards on principle. I don't think we can download the Core to the body and even so it introduces another potential point of failure - immobile Dungeon Core is a Dungeon Core that is surrounded by veritable labirynth of elite defences. Also, running this thing will eat through our energy storage like starving horse through wheatfield. For now it would provide at best a chunk of material.
Silent King's database, on the other hand... that is going to have goodies from before Necrons went to sleep and lost most of their stuff to decay. At minimum, we're looking at pristine quality blueprint for all our stuff. At best, there will be info how to build relic-tier artefacts.

Hey, at least it is a source of phase blades person which are heinously rare, and are absolutely a resource we should use, they are basically durability ignoring weapons that make mockery of even the best armour, give a couple to lychguard or a lord and what them go to town.

Although I have no idea who Tzaron is, mind educating me?

The orb might be Old One tech, I want to look at it. Data cores are always fun. And looking at a broken dungeon core might help us learn about ourselves.

[x] An iridescent orb, carved with symbols of varied style, and inlaid with traceries of dark stone

[X] A set of lesser artifacts fit for an Overlord and their retinue.
[X] A squad of Lychguard, equipped with Warscythes and a miniaturized Gloom Prism, and the same burnished bronze as the units you had upon awakening.

An anti warp thing would be good for us to have early on (Gloom Prism).

lychguard are notoriously slow as sin so they wouldn't be too useful in that regard.

I disagree, the gloom prism would create a anti warp zone, so it wouldn't negate their usefulness, they're stronger than space marines too which is another boon. They're also units we can't build on our own, which I find more valuable than the Krork arsenal.

Friendo, everything we have is stronger then space marines baring warriors and scarabs, literally a normal immortal is taller then a marine in power armour with a gun that can pierce power armour with no problems.

And at this point we don't even really need lychguard, apart from some freak accident t we should be pretty safe, and if we need something dead we can literally just get a doomstalker with it's laser pointer of death and atomise whatever pissed us off.

The krork arsenal on the other hand, gives us a lot of high tech goodies to study and develop for our more primitive forces, hell if we are lucky there might even be some krork power armour there. Which would blow the the tech of the leagues and imperium out of the water and allow for some pretty spectacular upgrades, same with the husk.

Hoping this is the start of C'tan research rather than just a limited use of resources for making stuff. Might be inclined to switch to the Silent King Data-Core if QM would talk more about this option? QUICK EDIT: By 'this', the C'tan body. Thoug maybe also what could plausible be entailed if the SIlent King Data-Core won too I guess.

This choice amongst the two others with it seems more permanent. Though we can probably analyze the artifacts and I'm-missing-the-proper-word-for-it be able to make our own.

QM, why did you have to make these two together in one option. OTL Knowing more about 'us' via another Core might help and probably unlock more personal stuff but the Krork arsenal for that-one-word-I-keep-forgetting-again-here! we might be able to make or get some interesting tidbits for ourselves. To properly show the Core's whole shebang via researching it.

As far as void said there is the potential for the husk research to lead to using the husk as a avatar of some sort if we are smart about it, at the very least I'd expect to get phase blades out of it or a absurdly powerful and efficient form of energy or material generation.

The Cryptek in charge of the Core project, who I mentioned in the Turn 1 post.

The C'tan body is an open avenue to many areas of research, you just have to suggest Research goals related to it, which can be done outside of turns or turn votes. You could also use it to make funky items, but I would recommend research first.

I put these two together because the other rolls were ~30 or more higher than it, and they weren't as expansive or readily useful as the other options.

There are links between each option and the ones in the other two areas, which will play out in the reasons why they were all together.

Hmm... are we able to 'grow' the C'tan body or at least try to understand it and make it into an Exotic Material Generator? Or whatever a C'tan body could be under which material? Hoping to research what it is first, and if there's any insights we can get before we go to actual destructive research or making something out of it.
 
Damn, forgot that with the Eye we can perform complete reverse engineering without touching the object! While I still don't want to delve too deep in C'tan bullshit (remember that Nightbringer somehow put fear of death in the collective psyche of all sentient races, even those that didn't exist before War in Heaven, without using Warp), we could still learn about the manufactoring process of those for further purposes.

...ah, the word that I was looking for. And yeah, we should still be careful when prodding around C'Tan stuff. At worde, we simply take inspiration and just Research 'safer' alternatives.

Agreed. The most I'd do is zero-in the Eye on the thing's self-repair systems, shielding, power transmission, outer armour etc. and follow the way they were manufactured, then apply the procedure to the equipment we produce. At least, without extensive testing and probably a Tesseract Vault of our own to lock the project down if something goes wrong.

There's still the first reward from the Tesseract Vault... Which may be an entity of some-sort but QM said it was something at least that wouldn't screw us over.

Oh right, don't know how I forgot about that tidbit, so that might give something alright.

Maybe a triarch praetorian or whoever else from this dynasty who was sent to oversee the project?

    Okay, it appears we are getting the data core of Tzaron, the husk and the krork arsenal, that's a lot of things to research and use. I'm the most intrigued by the krork arsenal, I really wanna see what weapons and equipment are there.
