Events Guide Continued

This guide is a continuation of the fantastic work - "Events Guide" by unnownrelic.
As far as I can tell, the author is no longer maintaining that guide, despite the fact that players continue to post new material in the comments section. For that reason, I am creating this guide, to continue the Great Work. I have completed the game many times, yet it is still my favorite game, a game I come back to over and over again, and eagerly await each update and DLC.
I will attempt to maintain this guide based on submissions HERE only.

PLEASE submit using a format that follows mine as much as possible, to make it easier for me to copy and paste into the guide.
At this point, I do not plan to use screenshots as it will reduce the work load, and they are not searchable any way.

Deep Damage - Mechanicus Depot

note: I recently used the option - 'Send Inquisitor Vakir to 'negotiate', and did not experience any kind of glitch as mentioned in the other guide. The result was:
Construction Suspension Cancelled ( and nothing else)
However, about 7 days later, it triggered the 'Deep Damage - Delayed Too Long' event.

Deep Damage - Delayed Too Long

"...failure to address structural malfunction..."
This even occurs about a week after "Deep Damage - Mechanicus Depot" if you choose the Inquisitor option.
Result:
Mediation Chamber Damaged
Exterminatus Damaged

Deep Wounds - Hospitaller Facility

Follow-up mission to Deep Wounds - Recovery Suspended.

• We will wait until they arrive
  Result: Triggers 'Deep Wounds - Recovery Underway' event. Ship immobilized for 10 days, unable to cancel. After the 10 days, the knight is Wounded (and so must still recover) and gains Autosanguine Augmetics (+1 Armour, +2 HP).
  
• Grant him the Emperor's Peace
  Result: One of your wounded knights dies.
  
• See if they can be bribed
  Result: Research suspended (10 days)
  Libris-Malleus Damaged (Upgrades offline)
  50% of seeds destroyed
  OR
  
• See if they can be bribed - alternate
  Result: -1 Requisition
  Triggers 'Deep Wounds - Recovery Underway' event. Ship immobilized for 10 days, unable to cancel. After the 10 days, the knight is Wounded (and so must still recover) and gains Autosanguine Augmetics (+1 Armour, +2 HP).
  note: I experienced this April 2025. not sure if the result of this choice is random, or was previously bugged and was patched. This result makes more sense than Libris-Malleus Damaged IMO, but is also redundant with waiting.

Deep Wounds - Recovery Suspended

It is related to an Knight being critically injured.

[Spiderlord]

In "Unanticipated Storm - A Risky Course", allowing Vakir to guide you results in he being wounded for 20 days and Stratagems being locked.

[GigotParigot]

In "Death Guard Fleet - Grappling tactics", firing on the Death Guard ship within the warp while possessing the enhanced Geller field prevents you from taking any damage. I got the screenshot if necessary.

[Siven]

Day 88 Grandmaster Report, has option to Assign Apothecary to prepare report. An Apothecary will be unavailable fro 45 days and on the day 208 Grandmaster report you will gain 2 requisition.
