Don't worry Necrontyr the Maiden will be here for you, to embolden your sickly spirit.
I'm wondering if Sendai was born during the last few thousand years or if he's a survivor from the Necron days.

My guess would be the former. He 'sounds' fairly young and is far too upbeat and enthusiastic to be a former Necron.

I doubt that, seeing as the Maiden explicitly wants to throw up and avoid them at all costs rather than get anywhere near the things.
A bit of a speciesist is the Maiden.

I actually wonder if these Necrontyr are Blanks or Pariahs (they're anti-psykers basically, in that blanks and pariahs repel anything Warp related). It would make a lot of sense, seeing VM's reaction to their souls.

I don't think that's how it works. Blanks are explicitly voids in the Warp, while the Necrontyr's souls just look super mutilated, unhealthy, and poisoned. Most things with souls would probably react similarly when encountering a blank but blanks don't have a soul to see.

But... I don't know why someone would expect that to work.
A) Why would he be confident in his ability to walk into our seat of power, successfully carry out an assassination, and then walk back out? Seems like a big ask there.
B) Does he even need an excuse? I though he could basically decide what to do on his own regardless.

And so the hardest thing in 40k has begun: honest negotiations.
Really? I know that's completely in character for greedy, opportunistic, back-stabbing bastard (especially if this is just a remote-controlled body) but c'mon! Arse.
2. AM showed her chops! Elysium helped, but her assistance is key. Now she's bolder and will try for better position (though seems she's stuck here if her ship is in as bad a condition as I understood)
3. That's good. Positive mood means a better understanding of "not appealing offers/demands". We might get a gladiator-like trial, or mock wargame, not killing for killing's sake. (and if he is a "youngster" as some commenters think, then this might be an opportunity! New generation is slightly less closed and more adaptable than the old, we might do something good!)
Still, if Necrontyr souls are asbad ravaged hurt damaged as they are, VM really shouldn't abandon them... and SHOULD NOT give a solution.
Remember, Old Ones didn't help them, but C'tan lied to them, and 10'000 years ago they fought those 4 cancers in reality. Their experience with "gods" really isn't in our favor.
I doubt they will accept anything from a Warp God without unbelievably positive relations or extremely positive relations with us.
Best we can do is offer some solutions, they scrutinize them, and then tentatively decides to experiment.
.... So WHAT DID WE MISS!, There's has to be more than the obvious, but what! What are we missing.......
{ before the update]:
Getting Sun domain would most certainly reduce the 'cost/complexity' of our Lotus Star Generators and open up possibilities we couldn't achieve otherwise without considerable effort.
+ Agree getting Prowess and elevating it would make VM and her cult very relevant (though Finesse would be complimentary no forget what I said/ambition/thoughtlessness, not important!!).
But if Scarlet Cavalier has the same... wouldn't it be less detrimental and conflict drive, but more of a connective thing?
Like both SC and VM have something in common, something they both have (+ Prowess might make VM bit more "professional" and thus more endearing to SC)?
I mean it could go either direction, but still.

1. hope the penalty will make him less important, and thus less influential. Making him impotent is best, but might not be possible

Could be a high-end Astropath, some kind of Daemonhost/Celestial Saint Equivalent, or a really scary Machine Spirit, or possibly some kind of Necron Tech like the Pylons.

Or just the teleportarium and his teleport homer.
Those carry one through the warp. I certainly would not want to count on those against a warp god in their domain.
The imperium has teleporters. They aren't exactly perfectly safe, but they do work most of the time.
And this dude is obscenely wealthy on top of being a grimdark tax collector. I half expect his throne turns into a mini battlewalker with void shields or something else equally absurd.
He can always go inform sector command that we're still here, and then we've got serious problems. Hell, he doesnt even have to do the last one himself, he may have an astropath on his ship.
On the other hand he has every reason to assume we are a Chaos remnant, in which case warning sector command would be rather cold comfort to his soul as it is tortured for eternity in the warp. This guy either knows more than he should or he is somehow not really putting himself in our power.
Like I said, tricked out throne.
Although, telepresence is possible. Thing is, Chaos is known for memetic bullshit, so I can't see that as being much safer?
We have an army, it does not matter how many toys he's hiding in that thing we can take him down and if we were Chaos and thus uncaring of the lives of our followers all the more so.
TELEPORTARIUM.
Teleporters are a thing. And in 50K, they are approaching DAoT levels, so I'd wager he has access to them.
Plus, this guy thinks he can take us. He doesn't really have an accurate picture what we can do.
- Those work by carrying someone through the warp, which is to say the place the local Daemon Prince would be in. It takes a special kind of idiocy to think you can deal with that and I don't think it's reasonable to assume the publicani is that dumb
- He has a ship and orbital scanners, he should have a reasonable idea of the forces we can muster if not an exact one
1. It's never stopped them from being used in combat before.
2. It clearly doesnt give him that good of an idea, or he wouldn't have started this with an assassination attempt. Unless you think he really CAN take us?
There is no way that shooting the high priestess would have ended in anything but violence, but that was his opening move.
- I'm pretty sure it was a rule that if you are facing significant daemonic foes you should not open warp tears, technologically of psychically.
- Actually if he thinks we are Chaos it would be reasonable for him to try to kill us all starting from the top, it's the fact that he is still talking that's weird and amkes me suspect he knows more than he should about the Maiden
1. you are mistaken.
2. Only if he never intended to negotiate. And if he's not here personally, his next move will be to bombard the tree with his ships. Because he knows the High priestess is here.
There is no universe where opening negotiations with an assassination attempt is a good idea. Not even this one.
Hell, he's already starting on the back foot.
I think we may be talking past each other. My point was that no one in his right mind would try negotiating with chaos, no matter if they started with bombardment or cupcakes therefore he must know or at lest suspect the VM isn't Chaos

He didn't come here to negotiate, else he wouldn't have lead with an assassination attempt. He thinks VM is Chaos, if he's even aware of her.
Regardless, he's dealing with rebels, and there is only one response to rebels in the imperium.
Probably, his intention was to kill Dana and broadcast demands over her smoking corpse. Because you can accomplish a lot with audacity that you couldn't with arms.
So step one try to shoot a probably psychic high priestess of a heretical cut with a garden variety gun and step two involves that actually working somehow and then broadcasting demands to Chaos Cultists? The latter sounds even less likely to work than the former and that's saying something.
