===Cogtain Issues=== During the purchase of the Occurence Border into Inquisitorial hands, the ship was flown entirely by the Adeptus Mechanicus, at least until they all went full-blown stark-raving Chaos Heretek and had to be purged for Heresy. The leader of this group, the Cogboy Captain, or Cogtain as he was referred to, was nuttier than squirrel poo. He built a gigantic servitor-titan and rode it for a bit. Then he merged it with a Daemonhost which was already with a Great Knarloc. Then he merged with it, and after it was destroyed, he ejected from the Daemoni-Gnarlo-Servo-Titan, taking the Daemoni-part with him, becoming a Daemonhost Heretek. Then a brave Martyr of the Imperium went berzerk all over his face with a chainsword, then a cretinous thief cranked the gravity up to about 200g, smashing him through four decks and half of an awkwardly placed wall. That finally brought the Cogtain's rampage to an end, but, sadly, his existence seems to linger on in some tormented form. The crater he left still screams and curses at anyone who can hear it in ragged Binary and the most sulfurous Low Gothic swearing, and glows with rather unnatural light. All Ecclesiarchial efforts to spiritually expunge him were met with contempt, derision, and vulgarities, reducing several senior Ecclesiarchs to responding in the kind of language that you typically hear out of an Agi-World Preacher after some hick ran over his foot with a tractor. Since physically expunging the Cogtain would have required the exceedingly expensive and structurally dubious removal of the conning tower and what would amount to a large biopsy of the ship's dorsal hull, eventually the traditional Occurrence Border Solution was employed; the crater was sealed off, covered in holy icons and symbols, blessed every way the priests could think to bless it, and then an entire chapel was built around the holy containment dome, and a very cynical old battleaxe of a Confessor who was fast with the praying and even faster with the Holy Promethium was assigned to administer to the ship's great need of Ecclesiarchical administration. It keeps the Cogtain quiet... Mostly. (Then the lifts were reconstructed atop the chapel. It's that kind of a ship.) The Cogtain Crater is mostly quiescent, which is to say that nobody can hear it outside of its containment cell, between thick insulation, enough prayer seals, holy icons and devotional texts to convert an entire Feral World, and the typical religious chanting and singing going on in the chapel. Occasionally, though, there will be issues. Sometimes the Cogtain Crater can connect itself to other heavily-tainted areas, such as locations on the ship where a Daemonhost spawned, and can scream through the wall, or lash out with a jagged, prehensile blade of metal to grab, impale, or otherwise harm people and drag them through - or grab equipment, it can do that, too. Maybe it might do something else, or get especially screamy to the point where it drowns out the chanting the chapel. Either way, you have to deal with it.
