LUCIUS QUOTE OF THE DAY:


Lucius in his Augmetic Engine Plate

[The Hive Mind]

Enginseer Metanus - For most of the crew who work outside of the Plasma Drives, Enginseer Metanus is the face of the Adeptus Mechanicus on board the vessel. He is used mostly to liaise with the crew when it becomes necessary to discuss the needs of the tech priests. With the introduction of Lucius to the crew, Metanus's role may be unnecessary. There is very little that is recognisably human about Metanus. Despite a solitary blinking eye, and pale fleshy hands which reach from under his robes, everything else that is visible on Metanus is a mechanical augmentation. Thick tubes feed into his face, and coil around his upper-torso. His lower body is tracked, although his flowing robes hide this. Metanus talks with a raspy, metallic voice. He is avoided by most.

Enginseer Adjent - The representative of the Lowers. Enginseer Adjent has always been known as reclusive, even from his own brothers. Preferring to experiment in solitude, he developed an affinity with the Lowers and, though none know how, has since come to command them. He represents their interests, and is the best man to see about anything concerning the lower decks. Enginseer Adjent has a series of pipes and tubes comprising the lower half of his face. His left arm is cybernetic, ending in digits used for interfacing with machinery; a mechadendrite emerges from over his right shoulder, tipped with chirugical implements.

Enginseer Atanitus - an enginseer often seen tending to the servitors on the bridge of the Forward unto Dawn.

Enginseer Atrus - a young and brilliant Tech-priest, a little green but some say he has a promising future.

Enginseer Gaiussall - An Enginseer who toils on the Jovian Class II Plasma drives. A dedicated servant of the Omnissiah, he is in charge of the activation and deactivation of the drives, and takes his role very seriously. Thus, he has dedicated much of his life to memorizing the "Ritual of Ignition" laid out in the Mechanicus volume Runic Spaceflight. He is unusually vocal, unlike the rest of the Enginseers assigned to the plasma drives, and is often heard wandering the halls, reciting the Ritual of Ignition in his screeching mechanical voice

Due to his proximity of the Plasma drives he has a large growth on his forehead,which he sees as a blessing from the Omnissiah for his long service on the drives. He possesses several mechadendrites and an artificial rebreather replacing his lungs and the bottom part of his face.
