I was more concerned about the rest of the Trust.
Mus and Nif, but some angry vanir who isn't thinking straight might do something stupid.
Probably not the Vanir are better than that, but still.

1. Klovis is representing the inquisition ATM, but can he tell us the opinions of his peers Varquez and Yinn?

On what
I should also mention that with the current plan only Avernite cultists will be fed to Sirens

1. Siren trade
2. How pissed are the Vanir about this? Mechanically less than when got caught with the Quartok, but that's mechanics.
3. Is this likely to blow back and affect Olaf?
Good.

1. They agree with the decision, they are not comfortable with it but agree
2. A bit less then with the Quortok due to the fact that it is Avernites dealing with Avernite Cultists. It will still take decades for relations to improve much
3. Yes

1. How pissed is Olaf personally?
Does it matter? He's on the way out.

He's still our father in law...uncle in law... eh what ever and even then the current crisis gives him a chance to retain his position.

You do realise that he's going to get replaced with someone much more conservative right?
I mean he's one of the most liberal Vanir in power.
Best case scenario we get a moderate worst case...

The Mechanicus issue does not particularly matter at this juncture.
It won't matter for the next few decades, in all honesty.

This isn't about the admech its about the Governor of Vanaheim, one of the strongest worlds in the trust and our main rival for lack of a better word.
We've been lucky Olaf likes us his successor probably won't.

not very, he tells you that it would have taken a miracle for him to have remained in office for another decade anyway and when he is depsoed over this it gives him a chance to make a comeback if the payoff is as large as you seem to think it will be

The rivalry really isn't that important when outside threats exist.

@Durin
1. Will the pay off be worth it?
2. Are the Trolls doing anything interesting? They've had over a century of guaranteed food ect.
Have you seen 40K mate?
Our people are more rational, but lets not stop being paranoid.

1. We don't know.
That said, if we can prevent our psykers from outright falling to chaos, especially the undiscovered ones, then that is.. pretty big.

Vanaheim can't really hurt us without, like, attacking us with their navy. Niflheim/Muspelheim/Asgard are the people who can really hurt us via trade, and even then, with the new Forge STCs soon to be available, that factor is less of one.

I know. Twas a joke and maybe a hopeful question if he wanted to answer.
No, but they can block us on the council, or at least try, and we only got our order of ships recently ect ect.
Also is the Svart who are probably most dangerous to us in terms of trade...
I also don't think we'll be able to build the new forges as soon as we get them due to lack of admech numbers.

We can make it worthy by transferring any benefits we get from the trade to them. That would take the wind out of the sails of the conservative faction.
Muspelheim is an uninhabitable volcano world that may well have taken a cyclonic torpedo at some point. They don't see destroying a planet's ability to support life as a big deal.
Niflheim is weird. We have little clue as to their motivations for anything.
That is a tactical decision to be made by the admiral on the spot, not a strategic directive.
And which heroic psyker do you want to sacrifice on that altar?
Somehow I doubt they will need to be asked.

Its also not very cost effective.
I mean sure it'll kill it, but these are planet killers for a reason. Perfect against Battle Moons and World Engines, but against a single hulk, unless the rest of the fleet is really close together its probably better to save it for use against a planet.

Huge space hulks can duel the Folkvangr and potentially win. They are certainly rarer than Ork planets, and definitely have more Orks than the average world. If using cyclonic torpedoes on them is viable, I say we do it.

Rises eye brow.
A couple of billion orks even 15 billion is nothing compared the hundreds of billions that can exist on a world.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't if they feel it is the only choice, but if we're in that position we're fucked when a Warmoon comes.
It doesn't have to be a heroic psyker. We have 3 Beta primaries telepaths and a lot of lower level psykers who could volunteer.

Heroics are in a different league and seeing how great the distance is what you want needs either Ridcully as a diviner or Tamika as a telepath. Neither are acceptable.
We can't contact them it's sad, but we can't even then they have hundreds of chapters with Librarians one of them is bound to notice.
