Being a maintenance tech working on 30yo+ old critical machinery has made me more superstitious than is reasonable. I knock on metal and praise the Omnissiah daily.Is this how sailors felt in the old days when their lives depended on the ship remaining in working order?
>>2881686The DM never doubts my actions and usually gives me a bonus for my tech priest roleplay during dark heresy campaigns because I'm so convincing by just repeating shit I've done at work.My favorite was pulling a work ticket from the planet's tech priest job network to address an air pressure leak in a communication cable that fed the governor's hideout we wanted to bug. So I opened it up and did the work and hid a bug in the cable. Hiss fellow techpr9est why did it take you so long to complete your task?!Hisss. The cable was damaged severely bear the butt of the splicer. It could not be repaired by merely replac9ng the case and seals. The entire case needed to be moved and expanded and respliced. I actually did it in excellent time. (And I did because I'm a good tech priest)
>>2881688Fuckin nice
>>2881686>I knock on metal and praise the Omnissiah daily.I caress my devices and apply thermal lotion regularly.
A newly acquired piece of machinery can't really be yours until it has drawn blood/
>>2881686Whenever I have to crack open a server, during a small maintenance-window, I always go to the floor above us, grab a newbie lawyer and sacrifice them to the Gods of IT.
>>2881686My beater car was ideally going to last me one winter, but the coolant system started leaking bad. It almost completely drains out after 15 mins of driving.Probably because I haven't been saying my prayers to the Omnissiah.
