Hi SYED,
Excellent point!
Who knows, we may have Merlin or someone in the inner circle wondering how to get into the possibly locked or fortified temple and spot a 'holy servitor' outside doing its routine maintenance, and realise that could take a SNARC sensor or two back inside if its inside the 'holy servitor', or if it gets a good look at the 'holy servitor' make a copy or copies to attempt entry etc.
While there would be some safeguards, I'm not that impressed with the archangels' security systems we've seen so far, and if they thought they had destroyed all other federation tech, they might not have predicted and prevented this approach.
From the textev, SNARC's or their miniature sensors weren't used in the 'war of the fallen' or before, since Jeremy Knowles and the rest of Shan Wei's 'second string' etc would have been spotted by the watching Langhornites and eliminated immediately or at least long before they could ever set up St. Zherneau's and Saint Evehlain's etc, NTM seeing the SSK had moved his body before the OBS strike.
So its quite possible that thinking all hostile federation tech had been destroyed, they didn't outfit the servitors to recognise things like SNARC sensors, or possibly other possible older tech sensors that didn't trigger federation alarms, which Nahrmahn might have OWL investigating.
Congratulations on finding a possible weakness.

Sure these systems would have their own security, but nothing like hte main systms would have. So they could be used as a back door to infiltarte and surveil the temple and the systems it contains.
