==Overview==
Techseers are no stranger to broken [[machine spirit]]s. As a techseer, he had restored to functionality the anima of countless machines. While the [[Artisan|artificer]]s could patch-weld a holed plate of armour or rethread the crystalline circuitry of a [[cogitator]], techseers repaired their souls. Without his sanctification, the armour would shatter beneath the merest blow; the cogitator would falter when confronted with the simplest inputs. Techseers are minister and mechanic. Their tools are the unguent, the hammer, and the prayer.{{Fn|1b}}
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}}
