CRITICAL CONCERNS - SMITH PRACTICES
Technical Deviations
• Integration of blood rituals into sacred maintenance rites
• Psychic resonance affecting machine spirits
• Non-standard forging techniques incorporating biological elements
• Development of unique maintenance rituals
• Creation of "blood-forged" equipment
• Limited adherence to standard Mechanicus oversight
Equipment Modifications

• War beast control mechanisms incorporating blood rituals
• Modified targeting systems using psychic resonance
• Ritualistic enhancement of standard equipment
Containment Protocols
• Constant techpriest observation of all Smith activities
• Regular purity testing of maintained equipment
• Documentation of all non-standard procedures
• Installation of null-field generators in work areas
• Enhanced monitoring of machine spirit responses
• Regular examination of maintained equipment
• Strict control of blood ritual components
• Limited access to sensitive machinery

• Control Effectiveness: HIGH
FABRICATOR-GENERAL'S ASSESSMENT:
The Blood Wolves Chapter represents both an invaluable strategic asset and a concerning technical risk. Their commitment of significant fleet assets, including their flagship, provides unprecedented security for both our forge world and associated trade routes. The effectiveness of their protection far exceeds standard Imperial Navy deployments.
However, their Smith practices represent a significant deviation from Orthodox Mechanicus doctrine. While their methods show remarkable effectiveness, the incorporation of blood rituals and psychic enhancement into sacred mechanical procedures requires constant vigilance and monitoring.
STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Maintain current defensive arrangement while enhancing monitoring protocols
2. Continue prioritized support for "Fang of Retribution" and fleet assets
3. Strengthen containment measures around Smith activities
4. Establish clear technological boundaries
5. Prepare contingency measures should deviations spread
6. Increase null-field coverage in shared work areas
PARTICULAR NOTE OF IMPORTANCE:
The strategic value provided by the Blood Wolves' fleet presence and void-warfare capabilities currently outweighs the theological concerns raised by their Smith practices. However, this balance requires constant reassessment and readiness to implement containment protocols should their technical deviations show signs of spreading beyond their chapter's equipment.
