It is common knowledge that if they don't meet the advancement requirement, the divine flesh within them will reject the second divine flesh when they are in the process of assimilating it. That will have led to death.
They are not in danger of that with the pathway of the telepath because they have probed more than ten different minds with their mental probe.

All they need to finish their preparations is the advancement requirement of the pathway of killing. For that, they need to use the divine ability of Sever to kill three people.
This is something that they can achieve on their own. But seeing as the pathway of killing is their public pathway, they will have to explain how they made progress to it to their captain.
