Arcane Tower

 – retcon: the ship's name is silver knight, not white knight.

Status: Tier 3, Rank 2, 620 XP (half must be spent on talents and psychic powers)

Last time on Absolution... Our agents returned to the shuttle via the dangerous outer surface of Persophone's Regret, having to go through a chaos warband, which they easily ambushed, giving them only scant opportunity to return fire. Upon their return, they were ordered to the Garden Helix, where they gave the report of their findings to Magus Genator Wot, a strange Magos Biologis of the Mechanicus. The agents turned over the mechanicus relics they found, two radium weapons and an arc weapon, and reported their key find, an ancient Arvus Lighter. The magos requested the aid of the agents in retrieving the blood of a worldfish from Charbydion.

Only one precious fishing platform was lost in service of the mission for Genator Wot, seems a fair price for the benefit of such a high-ranking servant of the Imperium. The reward for your valuable service, was the tools and parts required to salvage the ancient Arvus Lighter from Persophone's Regret... for Genator Wot. Seems fair, again, she is important.

The salvage operation didn't go quite as expected, however, after a series of unfortunate events left the target of the salvage operation even more damaged, requiring days of repairs using parts from the shuttle that delivered the small band of salvagers to the space hulk. The final unfortunate event left them stranded until they are able to find more spare parts. Luckily they were on a space hulk, so parts should have been available.

After at least a day of searching, the agent came upon an ancient voidship, in-tact in an egg-shaped cavern. They recognized the ship's class, as they had been aboard a similar ship and a few other models form the same line of ships. They don't have a name for the class anymore, seeing as there are only a few and they are each unique now. The agents boarded the ship, and went to where they knew the machine spirit would be housed, and attached a series of las-packs to it for power. The spirit awoke, and introduced itself as the Silver Knight. The ship's dying plasma core is is trickling power to keep the ship upright in it's cavity and keep the gellar field flickering just enough to keep warp critters out. Many systems were damaged when it became part of the hulk, and many more have decayed to uselessness since. With the machine spirit active, it can give extremely detailed instructions on how to build replacement parts, however, the agents don't have access to a forge world to get the parts made. However, with the time it has left before it's power runs out, it is more than willing to brainstorm an escape plan...

 Also, remember you found three shotguns and ammo (these are just random loot I through in because they looked interesting).
