However, Explorator != Tech Priest on a 1 for 1 level, even according to the book: "Explorators themselves tend towards a greater independence of mind and inquisitive thought than adherents of the Machine Cult in more sheltered roles". That's the angle I'm playing up. <br /><br />To the Witchfinder: As for Kai's part, he doesn't *disbelieve* in the Omnissiah - he just thinks that the common/orthodox understanding of the Machine God is imperfect, and, quite-likely, over-thought. He's also skeptical of the *necessity* of many of the Tech-Priest rituals, and views them more as mnemonics himself - though he has encountered times when they *did* seem completely necessary, so he's unsure. (This makes sense to me given a) his youth and b) the circumstances surrounding his introduction to the machine cult.)<br /><br />~PSPenguinSushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218136669384091630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-38077379979641246122010-10-15T11:31:36.529-07:002010-10-15T11:31:36.529-07:00Oh yes, well.

But wouldn't the explorator have do this despite a lifetime of indoctrination (Innovation is herecy, everything was better in the olden days, xenotech is suspect). <br /><br />You are right however: fiddity bits are great :)Bazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-34042515669786543862010-10-14T13:30:09.561-07:002010-10-14T13:30:09.561-07:00Yes!

The hubris of thinking that one could improve upon what we have! That way lies the Dark Ages of Mankind! This is heresy!!!
