"Time to check in on UR"
You walk down to there area where they have been working on various projects for you in secret per the discretion of the old man and the emperor himself. Namely with how he is better working with Hypercomputers, STC tech, and other golden age tech. Still, the circle of what UR is, has remained tiny, so far, everyone believes they are an extremely rare pattern of dreadnaught.
he
You know it's the right area when you see the goat eating the decorative tree in front of the lab, which you politely herd back into the lab.
"Ah! Good to see you captain."
"Pyg!" You say as a friendly greeting and UR turns and walks up.
"So the project for me, how goes it?"
"That one- the new armor for your troops? Done."
"Your assistant here told me it would take a bit longer." You say eyeing the crab in the ball.
"It would have- but we actually were able to accomplish the math faster than we thought. The hyper cogitator makes things so much easier, but we aren't really using it too much- as you have asked." Ur says.
"Yeah we don't want to become to dependent on it like the kin are."
"True- we both have been given tasks to be innovative. Yours is practically a mandate." Ur says
"My innovations are only going so far, not gonna mince words with ya, I don't feel like I have done anything super innovative lately, maybe the unit I made, but the last real adventurous thing I did as far as pushin my limits was makin sword shark edible for people."
"Well your skills are primarily biologic and technobiologic. That's why you and the old man get along so well. How are the" Ur points to the ring and pen,
"I am about to earn that compass. Though he has specifically told me to take a break to let the learnin properly grow, I think he's just not ready yet." You say with a chuckle and UR's Emote turns into that what you now know means a belly laugh.
"So- I take it from you being the captain you know I am working on something in secret due to power usage." UR says
"Aye."
"Yes I wanted to have something that would allow me to blend in easier. So I looked at synthetic flesh and organs, and techno organic bridges. Something on the record came up, and." Ur reveals a human form. Well mostly, there are a lot of cybernetic parts and metal. It looks almost like a standard space marine body that has been heavily modified. With one exception. The face is that of the high rider general that brain in the armor was from, in what was probably their peak.
"That for you?" You ask
"I will try it. It also has an emergency jettison for my core, and it can fit in my armor."
"The Emperor already knows you are a machine mate- no need to lie about it."
"True, but I am not invincible, a magos finds something out about me and it could lead to a headache from my only human friend besides the busy old goat." UR says
"Well- ok. However nothing for our crab friend." You say and the crab in the ball gives a knowing nod.
