Tech-Priest Death Rites

They recycle their fucking heads into menial task floating robots... I think you're good.

It's well established in the forge of Mars books that ALL augmentations get reused or at least recycled. They would probably consider burying good mechadendrites minor tech-heresy, or at least very wasteful. I would suspect the only thing a tech priest would bury is whatever is left of the human body.

Yeah. Fair. Thanks.

Hell, I suspect they'd probably put the organic bitz in a nutrient reclamation vat or something like that.

Atleast for a bunch of religious nutjobs they do like practicality...atleast in that way.

The mechanicus is actually quite practical, most of their rituals are basic repairs and repeated instructions that simply sound alien because how uneducated the rest of the imperium is. Which they need to be because so much of the imperium hates them.

As for their hatred of trying new things, given a entire drop pod consigned itself to chaos such fear isn't that odd..

I suppose so. What I find most stupid though is that the only ones that have the rights to create and invent new things are pretty much the fabricator general and some levels down but at that point theres so little human left they have no more creativity to make new stuff.

You've got a lot of lee-way with existing designs and tech, it's inventing new stuff that's troublesome. For example, there's got to be fifty different patterns of lasgun but there's no man portable gauss guns. In part this is due to the tech being advanced enough to be dangerous and there not being enough resources for a full R&D program to test new tech properly.

The other thing you need to know is that the AdMech is very political. Declarations of tech-heresy are as much tools to eliminate the competition as they are actual security functions.
