Not to mention the Flesh Shaping synergy. I've mentioned before that Greater Shape flesh combined with Dandriss augments ought to net us the ability to copy technology with mutations.

Technically speaking Mirande is a Dragon (or really really close). Flesh Shaping should allow us to take the form of one. Adding in Psychoactive materials would in theory allow use to add a sort of psy-circulatory/nervous system like dragons have. This may act as a sort of psy amp or maybe effect warp deadened/warp conduit. May require other research or the like though.

I'd mostly just like to use flesh shaping to upgrade our integral armor and pretty much do absolutely nothing else at this point. Why do we need our body to be even TOUGHER than carapace armor?

So that we can use Telekinesis to launch ourselves at our enemies at hypersonic speeds! :D

Updating shortly, I got Paradox Fever last night and it did a number on me.

Symptoms include staring at numbers go up and down while saying to yourself "I'll just keep going until I pick up Anti-Rationalism and then go to bed".

Ah yes. Every other weekend I mysteriously lose twelve to fourteen hours of memory and gain as many steam hours in EU4 and CK2. They're so... attention-sinkish.

    Your tutelage of Jinah is a bit mixed, in that while you have taught her to actually buckle down and do her work properly, but attempts to teach her to control her own desires run into teenage hormones. While she isn't actively running around chasing boys or girls, she actively resists the idea of cloistering herself just as she is about to get some more freedom irritates her and causes her to actively resist the idea.

    Ah well, could be worse.

    The rest of the year is mostly quiet, although the tensions and economic activity of a military campaign brings the recent economic boom to a close. Most significant though is that you manage to predict a minor emergence of an Eldar raid - literally just half a dozen of the greenest youngster possible - and have a platoon on standby to splatter them just as they are emerging from their Webway gate. Better yet, you have scientists ready with sensors and the like to watch the forest react to the energies from the temporary Webway portal before it collapses. You don't do anything but watch though after shooting those that come through due to your senses telling you that disturbing the portal in any way will be an extraordinarily bad idea. Still, you manage to advance your knowledge of the interaction between the local plants by "years, if not decades" according to the scientists.

    Clearly training her wrong is part of the 'increased DC'.

    "You see Jinah, Charity is all about not sleeping with anyone. Take all the money you'd spend on dates and gifts and birth control and give it all to the poor."

    Basically this:

    We're done with the grave tender stuff, might as well start catching up with the family.

    finish the university though.

    i can change a single power training slot or the dragon thing for training Jinah if you guys want... but we need to start improving ourselves and buckling down on it.

    The dragon thing is mostly because i want to finish figuring out mother of dragons so it isn't a big fucking mystery hanging over our heads.

    No, this is our last year with Jinah. I think pretty much everyone is in agreement that we're going to be spending the max of two actions training with her, since AN confirmed that directly impacts her competence as a teacher for other psykers once we're done with her. It's only one more year, so we might as well.

    Also: Hunting Dragons right now isn't a great idea. We've got much bigger fish to fry.

    I have no idea. We could research Shear Pistols for way less RP than a Boiler.

    Anna is being strange.

    Maybe we should talk to her about it. The Boiler Pistol is way too much RP for us right now.

    Shear Pistol is only 2500 RP vs the ludicrous 5000 that the Boiler costs.

    I don't think Anna is picking the Boiler Pistol.

    It was picked in the Random Research Roll.

    Though having a technobable Quantum wave gun might be useful in other fields.

    Wonder what scientists can learn by exciting quantum particles in a lab using it.

    A couple power training actions, a couple Jinah Training actions, ongoing monitoring via Future Telling (so we're doing SOMETHING besides just getting swole) and we finally finish our degree at university.

    (Didn't Dia get her Lifestyle trait after three turns of a single action? Stupid tutorial trait-gain bonus)
     
    At least we got the warp-flora interaction research done! That's something to be happy about.

    Nah she is, I believe. At least sometimes.

    I'm guessing she maybe thinks of it as an Anti-Belter weapon? Kill the belters (or their squishy brains) and then steal their delicious tech/fullborg bodies?
