The after-effects of the Star-Born being healed by a Miracle and then being defended by another had not settled after a mere few years, with talks about what this meant bouncing between those working within the void far from the station to those whose gene-lineages had never seen the outside for generations, each and every person debating and arguing what the Star-Born represented and what they meant.

Were they saints as the Imperials understood them? Were they chosen like Teel, Prophet of the Star Child, to spread its glory and message? Perhaps they were meant to be wise administrators to lead the faithful and their labors in full for the betterment of the galaxy. Or, possibly, the Star-Born had been given a new life and defended from a horror beyond the Materium by the Star-Child and its most faithful because it was the right thing to do?

Regardless of what it meant, and the discussions raging around the topic, the five Star-Born had slowly been acclimatized to living with hands and human heads, no longer scarfing down their meals by pushing their faces into their food by instinct, and no longer walking around without any kind of clothing, be it respirators or thermal protections, within those sections they had been allowed to roam without direct supervision. The latter was a sticking point, as the Lamenter Trainees and Neophytes had been assigned to watch over the Star-Born after a very tense "debate" with Chapter Master Chyron had seen him back down from killing them at once to remove a possible Warp Plot from unfolding.

[] [Faith] Of Saints and Sinners, Miracles and Purposes
The rescue and mending of the Souls of the Star-Born from the predations of the Immaterium and their Maker's malicious hands cannot be called anything other than a Miracle. Yet, what does it make of them? Saints? Or sinners rescued? Have they been endowed with a purpose? Or are they merely saved by the grace of the Star Child being able to save them? What does it mean, and, more importantly, what does the Droma Creed say it means?

I do think in the next couple turns before the orks arrive we should try to fit in this action somewhere so we can give answers to the people who by the text it appears everyone is arguing and debating what does it meannn

[] [Chapter] Another Start Anew (1/2)

Definitely this, and I do think we honestly kinda do need to get Civilian Industry up and running, maybe also doing the trading, though that will slow any military re-upping for the moment.

But it might be necessary.

Kinda wanted to do a "Take Care of" to try and have the new neophytes be ardent followers of the starchild, but doesn't look like action economy will let that happen.

Actually no, in this case, I want to get the Kil'drabi like I promised last turn. The Lord of Change isn't doing shit for the forseeable future, so we can probably afford to slow roll this a bit now, since there won't be a Greater Daemon actively stirring the pot. So it's time to reach for Stretch Goals.

And If the narrative isn't enough for people: It may lead to more safe psyker from the Kil'drabi.
 
I do think laurent does make a good point we have given a lot of love to faith actions over the course of the game/recent turn and we do got the ork coming/haven't given much love at all to the pyskana

Yeah same, i do think that we need to get this one down fast too, to give the people one answer and well to consolidate the religion more faster and with us doing it too.
 
[X] Plan: Readiness Is All

Like this plan, it gives us all we need.

And while I also agree with wanting to do more Psykana (rolls be damned) I also want to Preach to the Kil'drabi soon, after that I'm all for Psykana, Psykana, and Psykana.
 
I would like to propose an alternate plan.

[X] Plan Arming Up
-[X] Void Industry II
-[X] Military Industry II
-[X] Trading With Imperials
-[X] [Chapter] Another Start Anew (1/2)

This plan focuses entirely on trying to get our conventional military forces beefed up before the Orks get here. I think we can afford to hold off on medical infrastructure and developing a new melody, but I would prefer to help Droma III arm up as quickly as possible without hampering our own military build up. Next turn we hit up more Void Industry for sure, then maybe medical industry and a Melody if this action gets the Lamenters up and running with a half-chapter.
 
Could we cheap out and make a bunch of system defense monitors instead of destroyers/frigates or are we going to be pushing out system against the Orks?

In the description for the High Energy Desert action, it was said that it had something that wouldn't allow others to peek back at us.

The High-Energy Desert is unlikely to offer more than a look into the system we now reside in, but it will open doors that will not allow others to peek back at us.

I thought it meant there was something in the planet that would hide the candle keepers from unwanted attention. Sorry if i misunderstood.

You can.

If you are utterly okay with being at the mercy of an Ork WAAAGH gathering steam all around you, with you offering them a Roight Propa Scrap!

Ah, thanks. That was meant to signify that you could use Droma VII to conduct diplomacy with little-to-no risk to getting outed/found out. That is now kinda a moot point, and I forgot to remove it last turn.
