"Bah! The current practice is perfectly acceptable! The priests interpret the Scriptures of the Prophets when we ask them if it would be appropriate to mine. Should we enact that, then I suppose it would only be correct to stop all mining on Mars completely, right, Duke? And gas giants, being giants, were possibly meant to be fuel stations; hydrogen is one of the most common substances in the Universe, after all, and makes quite good fuel. But your act would completely eliminate such prospects! Have you no education, on the backwater world of Mars? Gas giants are each and every time as large or larger than Holy Terra's mass! The Suppliers can take up positions in the asteroid fields and belts, pulling in and harvesting the rocks for our resources. These resources, in turn, can be used to construct habitation ships and nutrient generators, and then weapons and ships for our troops to destroy heretical farms, once they are...no longer needed. I would agree with adding an experimental nutrient generator, or a battery of such, to the Tech Station, as well as the addition of a Machine-Chapel. It would do me and my men, and likely the scientists as well, much good to pray to the gods, and ensure that the Yukami of the station are not displeased." (It used to be the various coutnries; why wouldn't various foreign words and religious practices get incorporated? Yukami are like the 'Machine Spirits' as at least in the Guardians interpretation of the Prophets, most everything has a soul...)
A fleet of corvettes would be appreciated, but not before habitation ships, and more powerful, less expensive, static defenses are built onto the tech station itself. Once our Suppliers are fully functional, we will have no need of planetary mines, thankfully. I do propose we send out a small fleet of a new ship design; you'll find it's schematics in your Holo-Screens. These Investigator-class corvettes will be able to find new star systems for us to move to and collect resources from, possibly even a Holy Nebula to begin mass harvesting operations; They are one of the largest resource holders that the Prophets were acceptable with collecting. Our Suppliers would help greatly there. I also propose we begin increasing recruiting rates, to combat rising heresy and insurrections. I have heard rumours of many things from my men, from alien bandits to warlocks wielding stolen powers from the planets themselves, calling their foul practices 'psionics'."
As a final word my liege, I would think the decision lay in your hands, as to allow yet another...planetary...citizen to take place in the Theocratic council. Besides, who here would wish to give up their seat? You, High Lieutenant Halkir of the Virtue's Guard? Or you, Lord-Priest Genmeal? No? I do wonder why we keep the now demoted Captain Julkirin here, as his actions have shown him to be of lesser virtue than other men. For this reason, and to allow us to make the best decisions possible, I do apologize to the Captain, but I believe he should step down. He is obviously in personal distress from his appearance, and is no longer fit for the duty here. He might be replaced by the High Engine-Priest, whom I have known personally to be a man of great faith and intelligence for many years, Restuce of the Vitality Battlestar.(he is, of course, a technocrat...)
Sent PM. I send by PMs because I don't need the Duke of Mars knowing my various and interlocked schemes. Nor the Council of Mages Circle of Psions.
That was a comparison to Hitler though. Psions aren't better at everything. They've unlocked the secrets of the mind, but that also renders them far more vulnerable to other Psychics, and people with no connection whatsoever to Psychicness(call 'em Blanks), or people with untrained Psionic talent (Call 'em Statics, 'cause that's what they'll end up causing), are going to mess 'em up. As are Inquisitors, particularly the ones with Psionic talents related to hunting down you witches.
