Research: Power Melody Composition- The recent joint research project between Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson made several major discoveries, one of which is that the closer the melody of songweaving matches the required frequencies of a power the more effective the power is. While the exact mechanisms of this increase are as yet not understood Primaris Jameson thinks that she will be able to figure out how to compose melodies that match the powers used.
Time: 7 years
Chance of Success: 40% (uses learning)
Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
Reward: Primaris Jameson figures out how to compose a melody that matches the power better.

1.Would this work with the powers that make up Neo-Astrotelepathy?
2.If so would it have separate effects for projectors and receivers or one total effect?
3.Is this action a general study thing or a power-by-power thing? because it sounds like it should be a general study thing, but the phrasing almost sounds power by power.
4. What do current Admech tech preservation protocols look like? We're a small polity and losing stuff in a Trust-wide invasion or civil war is a serious risk.
What I'm hoping for is a vault in every fortified position in the Trust with significant Admech presence, and some fortified areas without that, but with a couple of Admech guards specifically to keep the vault safe(and destroy their contents if breached), each containing a copy of our useful technical knowledge, some vaults on stealth ships in the deep void, and maybe a couple of time capsule vaults they paid to setup in the nearly impossible to scry, incredibly challenging to travel through, sections of Avernus(Under Dis? Underwater near the coast?).
5. If tech preservation protocols don't look like the above, or better, how can we fix that? write an Omake?
6. I had an idea I want to ask about:
Can we use the heads up displays or the indirect perception of the vehicular sealed video cockpits to break up or block out (visual or auditory)perception of memetic hazards, then highlight their position well enough to attack them unimpaired, as a means of reducing the mental load involved in resisting Chaos corruption while fighting Chaos?
I think this might be worthwhile because it's the memory of a chaos rune or daemon existing in their mind that makes people especially vulnerable to corruption a long time after their exposure, even if they never went anywhere near them or were subject to any specific attempt to corrupt them, so not only might it help with the aftermath, but it might reduce what has to be resisted to active telepathic and soul altering attempts.
7. What does Saint Lin think of including some training against harmless illusions and mental intrusion as a side goal of religious proceedings(possibly across the Trust), to get some kind of bonus against Psykers and Chaos?(after meditating on divinity)
8. Would we need to study more animals with potentially harmless illusions to do that?
