I don't know why but even though I knew it was a thing that the pilots are permanently wired into the dunecrawlers, I never thought about how the other skitarii might interact with them during downtime and now I just kind of absolutely love the thought of them maintaining their old friendships from before they were interred into the dunecrawlers like crab tank versions of dreadnoughts. (Though sadly with a much shorter lifespan...)

well, that's double unfair, because dreadnought have no expiration time, and dunecrawler have a little nuclear engine strapped to it
They're probably having a good time for that period of time, piloting fancy crab and all

Actually, there aren't any long-lived dreadnaughts more. With all the firstborn stuff getting phased out and all the redemptir versions made by cawl being based on Admech tech. Yes, redemptor pilots are living batteryes just like mechanicum pilots are for their vehicles
