A techseer's duties aboard voidships include maintaining the sanctity of the ship’s systems. During [[Warp jump|Warp travel]] techseers lead processions throughout the ship. They are followed at a procedurally correct distance by a small train of acolytes and thralls, who each bore one of the many tools of a techseer's craft – [[electro-censer]], [[apotropaic totem]], [[crozius mechanicus]], [[runic hammer]]. The cheif techseer of the vessel themself would be unencumbered, as befitted their station.{{Fn|1c}}
They are often dogmatic, demanding that all discovery conform to their narrow conception of accepted thought. Some tech priests see this as restraining the [[Quest for Knowledge]], doing nothing to advance the Quest, to break new ground in the continuing search for clarity and comprehension. There was no room for inspiration or invention in their world-view, no capacity for the unexpected or unknown.{{Fn|1c}}They abhor the [[mutant]] and the [[Xenos]] and often seek to purge and destroy any encountered, rather than studied as more curious tech priests might be wont to do.
