These skills are also needed when attaching [[cybernetics]] to an individual.{{Fn|12b}} Often serving in the [[Inquisitorial retinue|retinues]] of [[Inquisitor]]s, these servants Chiurgeons specialize not only in the art of healing but also the art of repentance, interrogation, and the yielding of information through torture.
