By The Motive Force!

She is into prayer only because she tried it in desperation and got a confirmation of efficacy.

Well yeah, prayer works so the Omnissiah/God Emperor is real, it isn't a strange leap to make that the dogma around them is correct, she's not exactly had a lot of exposure to heterodox debates and different sects of acceptable theology tend to be separated by Interstellar distances.

Didn't she also experiment while repairing weapons? Sometimes skipping some steps of the full ritual, and other times following explicitly? I think the ones where she skipped steps came back for further repairs more often than the ones she had followed all the steps of the ritual. That would have an impact on her expectations for Dogma, too.
 
I remembered a negaverse comments discussion
And imagined another quest happening here - the Sororitas Quest!
Vicky the young techpriests gives regular dungeon quests/mission, it is long patrol-searching mixed with fighting direrats, but when they succeed, sororitas girls can gain "Relic volkite gun"!
I believe the number of happy sororitas keeps increasing. And if some of them girls are jealous of their sisters thermal guns - there is more Dungeon Quests

Sorry, need to sleep, not thinking vlearly
 
I wonder what is the range of Observe.
"Red Dwarf FCF-1297669M, nothing interesting in this system"

"Red Dwarf GHH-1027060F. Almost nothing interesting here, aside from a wreck of a cargo ship looted by Orks"

"Yellow dwarf PHT-9871763P, very similar properties to the Terra's Sun. The fourth planet is the Death Agriworld called Pearl. Locals harvest carnivorous pumpkins, or vice versa"
 
The fourth planet is the Death Agriworld called Pearl

... The concept of a Death Agriworld is just so intensely 40k I can't stop chuckling at it.

I'm visualizing Attack of the Killer Tomatoes but the humans all have actual flashlights to fight them with now. Not even Maglight cop blinders, but just regular plastic ones where you have to keep slapping the batteries to keep the light from flickering.

For a moment I thought what you have meant standard Imperial lasguns aka "flashlights" in wh40k

I thought about the piece of lore about Leman Russ tanks being based on tractors, then about them being actually tractors, then about crops that would warrant such equipment.
 
Some speculation about further plot.

Maybe cultists will try to corrupt the atmospheric processor? It would be a safe bet if they were Nurgle worshippers. Still, it's possible that they will try to make it spew some weird substances.

Also, it's likely that they have off world backers, and those backers will make an appearance. They are more competent with technology than some schmucks on feudal planet should be, after all. Also, there was foreshadowing about local PDF's lack of heavy weapons. And those fancy guns that she found in the hive are literally the Chekhov's guns. Sisters of Battle will NEED them.
Though I doubt that Chaos Space Marines will appear in notable numbers, unless her origin story is "Miraculously survived destruction of her homeworld and went on a quest of vengeance and justice".

Plants and fauna trying to murder your entire city is more common than you'd think. You remember Knights, the giant mecha with building sized chainswords and Flamers? They also fell under "agricultural" equipment designation back in the colonization days.

It was probably assumed that a "peaceful" planet had only a couple city destroying native threats emerge in the settling period. 40k planets just go that hard, I guess.

In some instances, performing exterminatus and then settling the dead world was probably the only sane choice the colonists should have taken. Looking at Catchan or the plenty of natural deathworlds.
Because if you need tanks and mecha to fight flora and fauna you are better not settle there, and use drones for your needs or kill the world biosphere and then settle the planet.

But then how would you get recruiting worlds for elite guard regiments and space marines? A twelve year old needs to be able to shank something the size of a lictor before they even having a chance of surviving the initiation and the latter's implantation process.

Most worlds are colonized in DAOT. There are no need there to be Space Marine then.
Knight worlds and Knights were developed because of the insane biosphere.
Implantation is ok and relativly simple.
The only reason why deathworld were colonized in DAOT:
1. sadistic fun of some elites(like how Fenris was colonized)
2. the colonists were so poor that they couldn't afford to colonize dead worlds and had to settle with deathworlds.
3. enemy action (either human or alien) or smuggling of forbidden animals/plants/technology
4. one way trip, and couldn't find any other body to colonized.
5. insane colonization protocols(you don't set the colony ship first and then surprise find the planet you settle is a deathworld).
 
honestly speaking? If Emps really does want MC to fix his throne? He would send his Custodes and a Custodes ship to pick her up.
