"Why did I have to suffer like this..." A tech-priest under a Kaos Archmagos—or rather, a Cryptek under Trazyn the Infinite—was currently enduring Delia's torment.
Over the past few days, Lin Fan and Trazyn had continued exterminating Orks in the hive city's complex underground sewer tunnels. Meanwhile, Delia had followed the other tech-priests disguised by Crypteks, learning how to manage production line allocation.
This girl's curiosity was simply far too intense...
Though all tech-priests suffered from this flaw to some extent, Delia could clearly be called one of the worst among them.
The Crypteks, driven nearly insane by her questions, tried their old methods: modifying the databases of these Imperium gearheads, deleting a few parameters, or, if that failed, directly overwriting their networks.

Naturally, the primary work area was reserved for dealing with Delia. Human equipment was no harder to handle than children piling up sand; even a Canoptek Scarab could do the same work.
Delia had finally been assigned to a starch production line, where she was to carefully adjust the problems affecting its operation.
A priest followed behind her, describing the issues that had plagued the starch production sector in recent days.
++Since the Imperium reinforcements arrived, production efficiency in this area has fallen significantly... approximately 23%++
