Ok, thanks. One more question:
"failing reduces success cahnce by 15% of margin of failure" indicates that failing makes things harder on subsequent tries. Is this supposed to be something else to indicate it gets easier, since the Data Jewel action says sustained effort should work? Because I'm not sure how it'd get harder, since we should be able to just copy the encrypted data before doing anything with it, and work off of that without doing any kind of damage.

I like how there was no mention at all of Rotbart slipping and taking the head of that marine. He probably expunged it from the records. 
I think we should do a whispers of change action if we can afford it. This would be a good time to push them on this issue.

Which issue?
Cause if its to assess the con's state then wrong action.
Yes we have only one option, but there is one thing to keep in mind: this is not the last time we will need to fight works and they ate probably only going to get nastier and we suffered the most casualties fighting against orcs. So IMHO learning how to kill works more efficiently ought to be the priority this time.

Ask the Mechanicus to be a bit less restrictive.

She does that automatically, Whispers of Change is to suggest actions she can take to further that.
For instance is there a particular opportunity right now that Scott might not see that we can tell her about, like with Surt, or suggest ideas for her reforms like xenotech and innovation.
Just telling her do this isn't really what the action is for.

Wait, didn't the posts about us cleaning up the Chaos debris and salvage after their first invasion suggest that somthing had been purifying things before we could get to them?
I think it might have a convenient plant/animal for that.

Portec's plan already has looking at how Avernus purges corruption.
I personally think that it isn't an animal or plant that does it, but the PM itself, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.

All those Mechanicus actions...
I'm quite tempted by Very Advanced Stable Reactors, 50% power increase on all ships sounds insane. Especially as shields are a thing.
I think we ought to try to get Well of Urd online to lead the expedition to Roskilde.

Khaine called, he wants his title back.
Well Null Zone was already Paragon tier.
So this is incredibly valuable against other high teir psykers and not much against anyone else who she already either shut down or just aren't psykers. Except...
@Durin
- Does this include the AoE of Null Zone, if so what is it now?
Frederick Rotbart: Paragon Commander, skilled strategist.
@Durin I think you need to remove the preaching.
All in the traits where okay but less than I was expecting, except for Psykers where it seems about right and military where I forgot how many generals we had who'd qualify. I do find it hilarious the arrogant one puts Carniflowers on the same level of Astartes, that must have been difficult to explain to the Blood Dragons who didn't know much about Avernus. however if killing a third circle archangyl isn't enough to get Transcendent then I don't expect Jacob to get a standard Avernite age trait which would push him over the limit. Well, unless he gets some crazy rolls like what set Jane against the Changling for her Paragon.

With Aria's paragon trait making her even more hilariously anti-psyker I have to wonder how many of her we would need to defeat Crusade! Magnus?

Yeah...probably crusade magnus would pop her like an egg.
With or without his powers.

It's not 50% power increase to our ships because I'm pretty sure none of our ships use Adavanced Stable Plasma Reactors (which have only 110% of Imperial-era reactor output (which I will shorten to IERO from now on), though they are ridiculuosly reliable), they use standart Advanced Plasma Reactors (which are still much more stable than standard Imperial reactors and produce more power than Very Advanced Stable Plasma Reactors would, 2xIERO for ApR vs 1.65xIERO for VASPR).
If we wanted to increase output of most of our ships by 50% we should use Very Avanced Plasma Reactors (3xIERO) that we already have access to, but problems with them are that
a)they are undoubtedly more expensive, especially in AM/EM
b)we would need to redesign our ships to properly distribute and actually utilize said extra power
Really what I would be interested is Very Advanced Overcharged Plama Reactor (4.5xIERO, slightly more unstable), since it may allow us to make Hyperbattlecruisers without highly unstable and vulnerable Hyper Plasma Reactors (6xIERO, highly ustable), and maybe even enable creation of Hyperbrawler of sorts by making a heavy cruiser armed with grav-accelerator batteries.

Did you miss it? Orbital bombardment has been nerfed.

There's probably an in-setting reason why orbital bombardment is less effective and melee combat more viable than we would expect.
I personally blame the Old Ones, nerfing ranged and orbital weapons sounds like exactly the thing they might do against Necrons.

She'll just run very, very fast.
We'll give her some spoiler shoulder pads and paint her red, that'll do it.

Please any gun that large would be sabotaged by the Tanith 1st. Thats just how it goes.
Yes there is. The in setting reason is: thats how it works in this setting.
It's not like any other fantasy setting has to justify why its magic work, it just has to follow the same rules.
That makes sense. She's going to need a transcendant running trait before its viable though.She'll just run very, very fast.

She should train with Jane, then.
Where do you think she gets that +20 to reach enemy heroes, in middle of a battlefield?
She just never skips leg day.

The Watsonian reason is that beliefs of sentient beings shape the Warp which in turn influences the Materium. And since people generally tend to think in narative concepts (like, for example, that wars should be decided in grand clash of armies rather than by distant, impersonal and anticlimactic orbital bombardment, that great heroes should be able to transcend human limitations, that glorious melee should be viable and important part of combat despite people having sci-fi guns, etc.) it makes 40k work on at least partially narative physics. The Doylist explanation explanation is that narrative physics are generally more fun (and METAL!).
Actually lot if not most fantasy setting tend to at least partially explain now their magic works because setting having at least illusion of a consistent rules (as opposed to just a random authorial fiat) makes it much more immersive.
