Snippet #2107736

On a whim, Holt decided to leave the sterile comfort of his cabin to familiarize himself with the Inquisitor's Ship, which was, from the brief look he got of it on the way to his room, unlike anything he'd seen in his life. While Mechanicus ships generally have crews composed mostly of servitors, such ships still require thousands if not tens of thousands of the slave-cyborgs to function, and from what Holt could see, the only servitors on the ship were part of the crews prepping the ship for launch.

When pressed, the various workers could come up for no explanation for why the ship's crew was seemingly absent, and the one presumably permanent crewmember the Tech-Priest could find-a Navigator-claimed that the ship carried out many of it's functions on its own. Recalling the senior Tech-Priests' lessons on the priceless but borderline-heretekal archeotech cogitator systems that could be used to automate many functions aboard a ship that would normally require human laborers or advanced servitors, Holt resolved to inspect the ship's cogitator core for such systems when he got a chance.
