“Is it possible for you to teach me this?” You learn forward.
“Oh, ah... it's a delicate ritual, Lebesnati, it varies by the focus involved, and there's no knowing that...”
“Does that mean it's possible?”
“It <span class="mu-i">is</span>, but to a layperson, it might as well be...”
“Tell me the steps, Magos. I will progress through them.”
Korash-22 looked nervous. “I do not wish to give the impression that this would be easy or even permissible. You are not even an ordained techpriest.”
“Would it be heresy?”
“Of <span class="mu-i">course</span> it's heresy!” Korash-22 snapped. “Is it not heresy for one of the laity to perform the rites of the Fabricator-General on Mars Itself? Of course it is!” He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I apologize. You are merely trying to gather knowledge.”
“I meant no offense.” You reply impassively.
“I know.” Korash-22 sighed. “What I am trying to say is this: this is not a simple rite. One does not do this without preparation, as it does not even have any guarantees. It is a very <span class="mu-i">delicate</span> rite, and a very <span class="mu-i">secure</span> rite. I would never guarantees- guarantees that you could not provide to me in a scant few days. One does not simply jump from initiate to priest in a few scant weeks.”
“And you could not do it for me? Or assist me?"
Korash-22 was silent for a few moments. “In theory I could.”
