    • Magos Majoris Iomene-35 sat perfectly still in the noospheric chamber, her mechadendrites coiled at her side in reverence. The glowing tendrils of data-currents flickered across the smooth, black walls, painting the room in hues of green and gold—the colors of connection, communication, and anticipation. With a hum of electromantic precision, her augmetic eyes scanned the incoming presence: Metallurgicus envoy Magos Ferron-Kaphtis, his signal signature radiating the dense, deliberate calm of a forgemaster, but laced with a subtle eagerness that betrayed his excitement.

    With a crackle, Ferron-Kaphtis' visual feed materialized—a figure shrouded in robes the color of burnished copper, their form bulked out by layers of ceramite plating and arcane tools. His voice emerged as a deliberate rumble over the noospheric channel, edged with mechanical harmonics.

    "Magos Majoris Iomene-35." His red-lit optics swirled with simulated warmth. "It is an honor. The steel of Mars has awaited your wisdom."

    "And the wisdom of alloys is welcomed by those who walk the paths of Empyric knowledge," Iomene-35 replied smoothly. "May we forge more than circuits this day."

    Ferron-Kaphtis emitted a small burst of static—a laugh, in the way of the Mechanicus. "We have much to discuss. Shall we begin?"

    "Of course" Iomene-35 responded cheerfully.

    • Material Handling Agreements:
      The Metallurgicus will receive full access to Ætheric research on tainted materials handling. Any contaminated material retrieved during operations will be sent to Metallurgicus refinement stations, where Ætheric personnel will assist in purging it of esoteric residue.
    • Data Sharing Terms:
      Both factions agree to mutual data-sharing protocols, enabling both sides to synchronize research on material sciences, warding technologies, and combat applications. All breakthroughs involving PsyTech integration will be reported immediately to the Ætheric, while new alloy formulations will be shared with the Metallurgicus.

    Joint Projects:
    [ ] Hexachrome Armor & Esoteric Shielding for Spacecraft
    Objective:     Create new warded hull plating for starships, integrating Metallurgicus alloys with Ætheric inscriptions to resist both physical damage and warp incursions.
    Division of Labor: Metallurgicus refines the hull materials and structural alloys. Ætheric teams inscribe protection wards and test shielding effectiveness during warp-transit simulations.
    Outcome: A new warded hull standard for Mechanicus ships, allowing them to navigate warp storms while maintaining greater structural integrity.

    [ ] Empyric-Resistant Ceramics & Alloys
    Objective:     Develop alloys and ceramic coatings that not only resist warp corruption but also amplify ward strength when engraved with hexagramic patterns.
    Division of Labor: Metallurgicus provides alloy formulations. Ætheric researchers inscribe and test wards on prototypes.
    Outcome: Production of automata plating and containment vault linings that are highly resistant to Empyric contamination.

    [ ] Mobile Foundries for Remote Warding & Fabrication
    Objective:     Develop modular, self-sufficient foundries that can travel with Ætheric forces, setting up temporary workshops on hostile planets without infrastructure.
    Division of Labor: Metallurgicus designs the structural frameworks and modular reactors. Ætheric Engineers integrate PsyTech sensors and warding emitters into the foundries.
    Outcome: Mobile foundries capable of on-site repairs, automata upgrades, and containment infrastructure deployment in active war zones.

    • Idk, those Ceramics and Alloys speak to me. It could be a new toolbox with which future Tech Priest may build.

    this is a absolute game changer,being able to safe-ish cross warp storms
    combined with the warp mapping for explarators

    would allow bypassing warp storms to reach planets with valuable ruins

    It says Greatly, not Safely, Warp Storms even with the Arrays will toss around even a Gloriana like a ping-pong ball. This just gives them a 5~ to 10~ chance of surviving.
     
    Given how much the age of strife was caused by Galaxy scale warp storms shattering humanities interstellar federation, I do agree that the first option is honestly probably the best one. It is a few steps along a path to ensuring that such a catastrophe can never occur again to humanity.

    Also, the shear number of worlds in Star systems that may potentially still be cut off by warpstorms - or even if they are not cut off by warpstorms may have as a result of the age of strife's warpstorms been massively contaminated by warp energies -is a significant risk. There is a statistically high chance that more STCs will be found if the mechanicus fleets can travel to regions they literally could not have in canon.

    Would Empyric-Resistant Ceramics & Alloys potentialy make it easier to develop Hexachrome Armor & Esoteric Shielding for Spacecraft latter, using the same kind of materials
     
    [X] Empyric-Resistant Ceramics & Alloys

    Starship stuff is only likely to give significant returns longish term, the ceramics we could put to use right now.
