(SPOILER) Can anyone explain to me what was the ritual? Eurac V ACT1

[Amateur Nitpicker]

Going to get into my 3rd playthrough and I was still confuse about the ritual? Like what is about this paint and blood and WHY does people of the station screamed and ended silence?

I still dont get the gist? like what is a the ritual of a navigator?

The paint is how Cassia relates to the warp. She sees warp energies as colors, and for her, charting a warp route is done on a canvas with a brush and paints.

She doesn't want red paint because she associates that color with blood, violence, and other similar negative things... she doesn't want that influence creeping into her "art".

The screams heard during the ritual during which the navigator (Cassia, in this case) attunes to the warp sanctum were because those people were dying as their life force was drained to fuel the ritual. In other words the ritual was killing them, as a necessary component of its success.

The silence at the end was all of Cassia's "assistants" being dead, and thus unable to continue screaming.

Small correction, she doesn't use red paint because she uses her servant's blood for it.

Oops, I missed that detail and misunderstood the whole "red" thing, apparently. Thanks for the correction.

Should be noted that this is rather uncommon. Most navigator rituals aren't using outright human sacrifices, even ones to attune a ships sanctum for the first time.

oh thank you. i WAS just wondering are the servant like slaves? or do they have a say in it? Like base of the description, the people in the station were screaming?

Like isn't this like a form of heresey somewhat? Like blood sacrifice and whatnot. Why is this "special" and sanctioned?

This is pretty common and endemic to the setting, actually. The Imperium is not actually the good-guy. If you look close enough you can spot examples of the Imperium doing most of the same war-crimes and atrocities as Chaos-Worshippers do, just justifying it "by necessity." The exemptions, of course, being the patently insane atrocities that Chaos Worshippers do that are only even possible with Chaos Sorcery, like the Daemonculaba.
