Someone should write an Omake with Rotbart being pissed at the paperwork error that added an E onto the end of Dalv's name (Dalve), delaying anyone figuring it out for centuries.
It just fits his character traits.

Did you two forget that we had to get mechanicus approval on sending the data jewels from Roskilde and the couple we had before off to the Eldar for unlocking? Or for those that weren't even high enough in the hierarchy to know about the Eldar unlocking the data jewels, Tranth did it himself.
These were all on those, seems obvious really.
Clearly the Tau technology was created by the Xenos perverse reverse engineering of the holy DAoT technology for which we have now recovered the STCs.

@Durin I was just thinking of biopromethium, produced by converting food into promethium, and started thinking of different systems for a similar purpose. Any of these would be useful if we ever get around to asking the Nilfar to colonize Avernus IV.
Tech ideas -I bet we already have this stuff somewhere.
Promethium organoprocessing
This isn't so much a technology as a complex of technologies that allows promethium to be inefficiently transformed into food. Whether this takes the form of fungus rapidly growing through and feeding off of high capacity fuel, oil being reprocessed into a margarine like substance, or vats of plant cells that power their metabolisms off of complex hydrocarbons or artificial energy feeds, this branch of technology allows a star system to put their unneeded promethium output to good use, though it requires highly skilled labor to make these conversions.
Lots of promethium goes in, some food goes out.
Matter transmutation furnace
Essentially a massive plasma reactor, this technology is similar to other, better known pieces of equipment. The difference is that it is massively inefficient in producing power, to the point of being nearly useless, and eats immense amounts of energy to run. Instead of producing power this system is aimed at remaking atoms into heavier or rarer elements, being fed whatever loose material is most availiable as raw materials. The system not only requires highly trained technical specialists to run, it is also relatively expensive to create, and somewhat more prone to meltdown than a conventional plasma reactor.
Lots of promethium goes in, and presumably some mining slag or dirt or something, a tiny amount of metal comes out.

This is a good one. I'm a fan.
This one is not however. We are nowhere near the tech required to make this anywhere close to viable, except for stuff like artificial elements.
Also, using it to make dirt and metal is hilariously wasteful.

It's not making dirt, just metal, but yes it would be hilariously inefficient.
It seems to fit within the narrative of 40k, would you be happier if I mentioned the arcane and nearly incomprehensible energies and sciences of the Age of Technology?
Or made it an Enthalpic reactor, that fuses atoms with eachother by displacing them through time instead of using heat and pressure?(but then we wouldn't already have it)
Maybe the reactor weakens the barrier to the Warp, making atomic physics wibblety to trick them into fusing with far less energy?
Preference?

Keep the fusion, it makes perfect sense. Just use it to make artificial and superheavy elements.
We got to have this already actually in some form, unless we use supercolliders to make those elements for some reason. Or

Don't we have to research that first...

Gold has been taken by the Abomination. Any old echo it had is gone at this point. It is a vector for corruption now.

This brings up the question: what class of Material is an artificial or superheavy element?

Alright question time, when the hell is Jane and the Governor going to shack up? They both lonely as fuck and adults who a kid each. Make it happen boyz!

Jane's asexual as I understand, Rotbart doesn't really do that and I get the feeling neither of them would be comfortable making that kind of change to their already close relationship.
So never probably.

Don't go in detail too much, the whole regular/Adanced/Exotic/Relic Materials delineation is just a gameplay abstraction. Just say "used in highly complex technologies and exotic compounds" or something along those lines.

Jane is married to her job, and Frederick meets with professionals. They're not interested.

Does the Trust have some kind of endgoal? Or is it just trying to survive?

Survive until Emps can finish reincarnating/ascending in 4000-14000 years.
Then...who knows.

So guys I was re-reading the birth of the Eldar death god and its beat down of Slaanesh and found this little nugget. Did we ever find out what it was? Was it the Eldar Laughing God or was it the Deceiver. If it was the latter it brings up some very uncomfortable questions.
There is a reason we removed all the gold when the abomination was born. It got the claim to it which made it dangerous for us to use. When we got the info that silver had the purity resonance we started coating everything in it as a replacement. We had a quite a bit of discussion on this topic back when we were researching echos and the abomination.

That was Cegorach. He was preparing to sneak in and steal the Eldar souls while Slaanesh was preoccupied with Ynnead, only to have Ynnead to roll a nat100 and do it herself.

The unique warp properties of gold could provide insight into what Abomination sorcery can do, same as blood could help with Khornate. I'm not sure what substances the other Chaos gods are most associated with though.
