Major Whisper: Give a Senior Priest an epiphany and push forward their general understanding of science and tech to M35 levels
Medium Whisper: Transfer enough pylons, and shift the remaining around so the webway portal can be opened up again. Pylons will be sent to Cadia to keep pushing back the BC.
Minor Whisper: Build more Skitarii to rush into the webway when it's reopened
Minor Whisper: Build more tanks for Webway work, Russes, Hydras, Baneblade, etc
Edit: well, I we pushed general tech forward, or back in this case, reopened the webway, and my up teched zombies went out of control before going in, but I get some better vehicles

Major Whisper:
Hack into the imperial data base and change the names of every important individual in every record. For example, change every mention of Robute Gulliman into Robot Gorillaman, Rowboat Girlyman, Papa smurf, Bobby G etc. Pertarabo into Peter-turbo, Sly Marbo into AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, Horus Lupercal into Horus Heresy, Vulkan into VULKAN LIVES STOMP STOMP, Mortarion into Morty, Abbadon into Fail-baddon, The God Emperor of Mankind into Johnny Space, maybe change Khorne to Corn, you get the idea.
Minor Whisper:
Give a certain corpse on a golden chair a pink pacifier.

For now we don't. But if my plan to use flesh transference to possess the Emperor's body succeeds, that will change.
True but still while we don't use those power better make us immune to them

Haven't read in a while. Probably need to read up.
Major Whisper: Conspire to replace the Emperor under the guise of letting Him take his "true form"
Medium Whisper: Spread the awareness of the Emperors true draconic form through a widespread merchandising campaign; turn the Emperor into a highly marketable plushie and playable action figures.

Minor Whisper: Move the Dolmen Gates to our Dangerous Testing world. 10
Minor Whisper: Assist the construction of the Omnissiah's Fist (Gundam). 2
Minor Whisper: Add more draconic theming to the Omnissiah's Fist (Gundam). 17
Medium Whisper: Improve the Necron-tech Detector tech. 28
Edit: Ignore the 9. Rolled by accident. If you want me to come up with something for it - or count it as a repeat attempt on the 17, I certainly wouldn't turn that down, but it was genuinely an accident.
Edit 2: Looks like only 1 significant failure to me, and that was on an unimportant minor project.
Edit 3, from much later: Spend bonuses: +7 on the 17 and +3 on the 28 to force the Minor to be a bare success and the Medium to be a bare "Works with side-effects."
Edit 4: I feel like the Medium effect will be "All Anti-Necron Censers now glow blue when Necrons are close. Increase production and distribution accordingly." Which isn't what I'd intended to accomplish, exactly, but will probably be useful, maybe?

Whispers 15
The best group that the Mechanicus agents can find to indicate were the ancient agents of the emperor. Under the direct command under the legendary Malcador they seem to have become the basis for the Inqusition, which is not a bastion of efficiency in modern times. Still a few things can be gleaned from ancient records and the task force's operation improves.
The task force attempts to implement a logical carefully divided allocation of tasks in order to ensure best efficiency. It lasts for a bit less than a day before the first jurisdictional dispute arises over a las gun that can also make toast. It is claimed by the weapon, food processing, and religious assessment branches. The dispute quickly escalates and soon the entire task force is in a morass of interlocking arguments and disputes.
The Polar Bunkers are a success in that they move official dangers away from the most populated forges. The task force is surprisingly succesful at tracking down nascent experiments before they can go wrong, but barring the total abandonment of the rest of the forges on Mars there's no way to completely remove the danger.
The sensor array is built with only the usual delays and turned towards the surface. The expected hot spots are quickly discovered in forges and various weapons ateliers, but most alarming are the very large energy signatures being read deep beneath the surface. It seems that something is going on down there that isn't be accounted for.
Nanoscale industry proves easily achievable given the rest broader understanding gifted by the Omnissiah. With just a few vats of slurry programmed with the correct liturgies entire swaths of raw materials can be quickly and easily replace traditional forges.
Which of course is where the problems come as the Arch Magi in charge of those forges do not want to be replaced. They insist that the nanite swarms are not simply a recovered STC but a perverse heretikal application of xenos knowledge. They point to the obvious Necron and Tau influences and the fact that there is no STC tradition covering this particular technology.
The adjudicators see the line of reasoning clearly enough, but on the other hand it is a very useful technology. After some discussion they agree to put the nanite swarms under review to make sure they are both safe and clean of taint.
The warp in Sol is nearly dead as the materium and immaterium are pushed apart by the arcane might of millions of pulsing pylons. All contact has been lost with the Mercury mines and Venus cloud cities, and billions have succumbed to lethargy on both Terra and Mars dying through sheer lack of will to live. Word from the palace has ordered the Fabricator to cease production and dismantle all pylons not on Mars itself. While Custodes have been dispatched to begin destroying them regardless of Mechanicus intent.
The Omnissiah very clearly said "blow up the other half Mars, idiots." So the Mechanicus dutifully followed through. Even the Orthodox Cult had to admit that the instructions were exceptionally clear.
A select group of skitarii and magos dominus are equipped with the fabled words of destruction. Ancient rituals decreed by the Omnissiah directly. As soon as the explorator fleet arrives they will commence their psychological torment of the necron lord.
A small explorator fleet is sent off to find the relics of Vulkan. They succeed. They in the vaults of Ultramar for some reason. Unfortunately the ultramarines don't seem very inclined to hand them over.
Several tech acolytes have infiltrated the skitarii guards to enter the Noctis Labyrinth itself. They haven't found a way past the ancient protectors inside, but they have gotten far closer to whatever resides within than any other Mechanicus. They call themselves the Ascendant Dragons.
Or they would if they weren't busy fighting off the legions of B1 droids that have turned from their conquest of Mars as a whole to focus on the labyirnth. It is now besieged by the tidal wave of droids. Though legions of Skitarii from the previous front lines are quickly maneuvering to protect the labyrinth instead.
Despite the repeated and non stop broadcasts of various communist manifestos over the Custodes own internal vox network the stalwart warriors seem to be unaffected.
The Mechanicus is going to put this one down in the maybe column. No one is entirely sure how the new beacon works, but it somehow attracts Ork Rocs and lots of them. The test tomb world was quickly overrun by a waagh that assembled before the dynasty could fully awaken. The problem of course is that there is now a full Ork waagh looting necron technology.
The mechanicus aren't entirely sure what to make of the Omnissiah's demands. Eventually they decided it must mean that the Omnissiah wants a better warp route charted. So two expeditions set out. One placed pylons along the path to Cadia in order to ensure a calmer warp passage. While another charts a path through the webway from a system near Sol.
The cyborgs don't go well. Technically they surpass all their design goals, but they also become deranged and psycopathic. Unsuitable for battle as they tear into friend and foe alike. After the Black Hand suppresses the escaped prototypes the surviving samples are put into stasis for use as a indiscriminate weapons.
Unfortunately most of the genetors are working on the cyborg project and the remainders aren't really sure where to begin. If the Mechanicus knew how to improve Astartes implantation rates they definitely would be doing so across the Imperium. So unfortunately the Black Hand remains just as full of failed aspirants as before.
The Sisters of Battle are an ecclisiarchial institution and the ecclsiarchy has no love for the Mechanicus. So the efforts go slowly. A few orders of Sororitas set up monasteries on forge worlds across the Imperium, but most orders seem to have no interest in the offer.
Kane eventually manages to find Jaghati Khan. Unfortunately they immediately strike up a rivalry. Kane views Jaghati as an undisciplined fool, while Jaghati views Kane as both a poor imitation of a brother and a would be tyrant. Only the fact that they are both trapped in the webway, and that Kane has the entirety of Luna, stops them from coming to blows.
The founding itself goes well, but the Imperial authorities take it poorly that the Mechanicus has taken it on itself to perform a new founding. Technically this is legal, and the forge worlds are supported both by the new chapters and many older space marine chapters who appreciate their support, but it has strained relations.
Happily there is a very large asteroid immediately in the vicinity of Mars. That of course being the remnants of Mars itself that were recently blown into orbit. Several large graviton engines are assembled on it and the massive planetary mass is pushed downward to rejoin the rest of Mars' mass. It even ends up destroyed quite a number of the mutant clans that have been plaguing the Mechanicus for the last century or so since the Genetor Rebellions.
The Salamders are happy enough to answer the call. Most of the chapter answers the summons and their battle barges are quickly integrated with the fleet. With that Arch Explorator Halphuul believes that sufficient preparations have been made. Or perhaps they simply don't want to get involved in the Imperial/Mechanicus that seems to be brewing. In any case he gives the order and the vast fleet jumps into the warp.
They will travel to the world of Solemnace, find the necron lord Trazyn, and liberate the Omnissiah's divine relic.
The explorator fleet Kicker arrives at a useful forge world and beings to unload its loot of knowledge. The first thing that is done is apply several Tau design principles to a group of Mechanicus Knights. They results are impressive as they have far more maneuverability than before. The armigers are even given simple jump jets based on the Tau crisis suits.
Actual flight however is still completely out of the question.
At the same time work is done to reverse engineer the Tau pulse rifles. This is succesful as far as it goes. The forge world is able to build mechanicus equivalents. But the las guns can kill daemons, and the pule rifles can't. As such they are hesitant to put them into service.
Cladestine genetor search teams find the grave of Ciaphas Cain and dig it up hoping to get sample with which to clone the fabled Hero of the Imperium. To their surprise however it proves to be completely empty.
While everyone else was arguing doctrine the Conclave of the Virtual Loaf was hard at work spreading their baked grain products. In effort to further their mission they have built a forge dedicated exclusively to the production grain baking machinery. Though they insist that the grain is already baked and they are "toasting" it. No one is totally clear on the difference, but it seems to work for them. As the Omnissiah clearly favors their endeavors seeing as they haven't been drawn into any of the internal conflicts plaguing the Mechanicus.
The daemonic overlords have been overthrown and the fictional world is entering a golden age of prosperity and science as Mag'ladroth runs increasingly elaborate simulations for the tech priests to try out various scenarios and argue over the minutie of their character abilities. Little do they know that Mag'ladroth is building up to opening an interdimensional portal that will flood alien invaders across their paradisaical world.
Quest Note: Just as a request can people do each whisper in its own individual post. It makes them a bit easier to work through.

See this is why there is a standing order that Cain is not declared dead and on active duty no matter what, not even Death can hold back the Hero of the Imperium

Welp, they found us.
And that's why I wanted each whisper in its own post. They're harder to keep track of in the block format. Anyway I've changed that result to be better.
Cain is the 21st primarch. It all makes sense now.

That makes too much sense, like how no one knows his family or world of origin. And how he is stronger than a baseline human, even if he credits his augmented fingers(tech priests said they don't help his strength). Plus the fact there aren't any kids of his even though he has slept with more women then minor pleasure deamons
Edits sorry guys but I will support Cain as much as possible, he's too much fun not too
