Rites of Empathy may let us talk with the machine spirits during the expedition which could useful. Integrate Battle-Automata and the Warp Geiger are obviously necessary. We also need to remember that we have only next turn more before we have to go into the expedition so longer-term projects should be left for later

Warp Phenomena has two components: Weight and Narrative.
This option allows for more Weight to be put on the Narrative.

Does that mean that the Wards would need something with an equal or more amount of Narrative Weight to dispell/outright ignore them? So like a shit tier Daemon would either need to expend a considerable amount of itself to get rid of it through Warp Corruption/Fuckery while a Daemon with a Title or Name would deal with it easier?

So where Strength is just how much warp juice they're channeling, Scope is how effectively they're weaving narratives with that Warp Juice?

Yup.

More or less, a daemon whose Narrative is to destroy barriers would need very little Weight to mess around with our defences, whereas a daemon with a Narrative like Ward making would need a little more push to do something.

The Empyric Research Station, as it was known formally, was unlike any other structure in the Martian dominion. Its towering spires and reinforced battlements stood tall and proud against the backdrop of endless space, as if daring the Warp's influence to approach. Its design reflected the Empyric Engiseers' distinct philosophy, combining the forged precision of the Mechanicum with the mystical, ritualistic nature of the Warp. Vast domes housed powerful Gellar Fields and Wards, while the interior of the station was a labyrinth of research vaults, bio-domes for forbidden experiments, and heavily warded vaults to hold the unknown horrors they hoped to unlock.

Now, the station was fully operational, its machine spirits consecrated by rituals that reverberated through every steel wall and metallic hallway. Upon its completion, the Empyric Engiseers bestowed it with the sacred name Ephemeralis Astra Castellum( The Citadel of Fleeting Stars) —an apt title, as this would be a place where fleeting, forbidden glimpses into the nature of the Empyrean would be made solid through the will of the Machine God.

Ephemeralis Astra Castellum/The Citadel of Fleeting Stars is really impressive and feels like an appropriately big deal.

"Ephemeralis Astra Castellum," he intoned, "you are no longer merely a construct of steel and circuitry. You are the beacon of Mars' divine will, a bastion of knowledge and fortitude, where the darkness of the Warp will find itself laid bare and broken before the Machine God's light."

The other Magi Ætheric raised their hands in unison, murmuring prayers and litanies of activation as the resonance fields surrounding the station pulsed with energy. The Wards, meticulously etched into the very skin of the station's walls, glowed faintly as if answering the call of the Machine God. Massive turbines turned, generating a hum that reverberated like a deep, resounding chant across the structure.

It's a foundational moment for the order.

Damn that's impressive.

Research and military action is good.
 
[X] Plan: Lets make a warp BS detector

This one puts an action into wards unlike the other leading plan, so I'm voting for it.
