[20:58] * X sets mode: +o Braddoc [20:58] * +Alaric eats quickly, but cleanly, before checking his to make sure his belongings and attire are in the proper order in case a summons comes. [20:58] <+Alaric> (repost) [20:59] * +Grendel consumes the nutrient paste, the new additions to his form waving behind him....apparently during his 3 month disappearance he advanced in the ranks of the followers of the Omnissiah...coming from somewhere under his Dark red robes are two mechandedrites, a different kind of blade them..one a monoknife, the other a small chainblade... [21:00] * +Lazerus_Grim mumbles something about eating in a machine-shop violating health code [21:00] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [21:01] <@Braddoc> ((BRB)) [21:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol why is he eating in the machine shop? It sounds like those two rooms were added to the current house, not replacing them )) [21:01] <@Braddoc> ((Back..food just got here)) [21:02] <+Elana> (( I think he meant that as a joke ;) )) [21:02] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((ah, "now have" is what it says, i read it as "now is")) [21:04] <@Braddoc> **As you eat, the door buzz; someone wants to come in** [21:04] * +Elana gives the Tech-Priest a sceptical look, apparently not quite approving of these alterations to the Sacred Human Form. Yet, she remains without words, instead finally breaking off a piece of bread from her plate. [21:04] * +Lazerus_Grim says "Nose goes" and puts his finger on his nose. [21:04] * +Alaric looks up at the buzzer. He stands and moves for the door, opening it. [21:05] * +Mira_Atella sets her book down and looks over at the door. [21:05] <+Alaric> ((note: not standing directly in front of hte door/openning. might be a safe place, but still :) )) [21:05] <+Elana> (( this really is one crazy flat share )) [21:05] * @BradGM (~lonestar8@modemcable214.22-130-66.mc.videotron.ca) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:06] <+Alaric> ((begging for a reality tv bit :) )) [21:06] <@Braddoc> **Alaric, Captain Rother invites himself in and floats to the vox-system, connectng himself to it** [21:06] <+Elana> (( oh I know what's coming - Brother Lazarus, our new flatmate, wants to say HELLO )) [21:06] <@Braddoc> ((Brother Bathazal)) [21:06] * +Grendel glances up at the servo-skull. [21:06] * +Alaric nods the floating skull, shutting the door behind him as he turns to look and listen. [21:07] * +Mira_Atella narrows her eyes at the skull, still not caring for the presence of it. [21:07] <+Elana> (( oh right ... Marines, they all look like the other :P )) [21:07] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [21:08] * +Elana ceases chewing and looks up, both hands now resting on the table, one still holding a piece of bread. [21:08] <@Braddoc> **You all can hear Inquisitor Jex's voice booming out of the speakers "Mockingbird! Finally you have arrived and are now whole. Finish your things and meet me at Conference room 54. Captain Rothers will take you there. You have one hour."** [21:09] * +Mira_Atella stands from the table and puts the book away, heading towards her shared room to gather her things. [21:09] * +Alaric nods. He turns to grab his things. It only takes a moment since he is already prepared. [21:09] * +Elana resumes eating in silence, expecting one of the other Acolytes to answer for her. [21:12] * +Alaric returns a moment later. "I am ready once the rest of you are." [21:12] * +Grendel glances up at the servo-skull. "How long will it take us to reach Conference Room 54?" [21:12] * +Mira_Atella comes back in to the main living area with her items, ready to leave. [21:12] <@Braddoc> **Captain Rother disconnects from the vox-system and flies besides the door. His mechanical, electronic voice emits from wihtin it's bony structure "it will take 16.3 minutes to reach Conference room 54."** [21:14] * +Grendel nods, glancing around. "No need to hurry if you're not finished." [21:15] * +Lazerus_Grim returns to his room and dons his black cowl, keeping the silver raised until they leave. He returns to the common area and finishes his breakfast, clearing and cleaning his dishes before nodding to Alaric and Mira, indicating his readiness [21:16] <@Braddoc> ((DUN DUN DUUUNNN)) [21:16] * +Alaric waits patiently by the door, standing silent as he waits until everyone is prepared or a half hour goes by. [21:17] * +Elana finishes her rather short meal and gets up, moving to join the other Acolytes. 1"I presume this does indeed mean we have been given a new task." [21:17] * +Grendel finishes his food in the next minute or two, before standing. "Ready." [21:17] <@Braddoc> ((missing the religious wackos..)) [21:17] <@Braddoc> ((or not)) [21:18] <+Alaric> "I would think so. We shall see shortly," he says, reaching for the door now that everyone is ready. [21:19] * +Lazerus_Grim slides the tarnished silver mask over his face as he mentally prepares to face the universe [21:19] <@Braddoc> **The good Captain guides you in the caverous corridors of the Tricorn toward Conference Room 54. There, Inquisitor Jex Welcomes you "Welcome Mockingbird! I hope the period of rest was fuffilling." [21:20] <@Braddoc> ((Oh..well, you cna RP Lazerus masking his face if you'D like..it is 16.3 minutes walk to there)) [21:20] * +Alaric nods to the Inquisitor. "Greetings Inquisitor. It was educational." [21:20] * +Mira_Atella crosses her hands in front of her and waits for their next assignment. [21:21] * +Grendel follows the skull, his mechadendrites swaying in a seemingly random pattern around his body, though infact they're following a sacred Mechanicus equation. [21:22] * +Elana folds her arms into the spacious robe sleeves, bowing slightly. 1"Inquisitor." [21:22] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i did that more for the purpose of describing my new appearance, seeing as i've changed it from the tatty robes i used to wear)) [21:22] <@Braddoc> ((Oh...so everyone knows you'Re a Psyker now I suppose?)) [21:22] <@Braddoc> ((Or is Elana stil in blissful ignorance)) [21:22] <+Alaric> ((SHOOT HIM! :) )) [21:22] <+Mira_Atella> (( Not sure how well that would go over lol )) [21:23] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i havent told her yet, i suppose if she recognizes the garb then she has reasonable suspician)) [21:23] <@Braddoc> ((yeah- but I don't think she knows of them really)) [21:24] <+Elana> ((what kind of meaning has the mask, exactly? I thought Sanctioned Psykers get a brand?)) [21:25] <@Braddoc> ((YO Psyker's so ugly, when he got branded, his face marked the branding iron!)) [21:25] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [21:25] <@Braddoc> ((Elana, he took an aternative Rank, which got it's own customs and whatnot)) [21:25] <+Elana> ((XD)) [21:27] <@Braddoc> Jex "Please, sit, listen." [21:27] <+Elana> ((ohh, some special order?)) [21:27] <+Elana> ((still nothing that publicly says "I'm a Witch", is it?)) [21:27] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((not unless you happened accross one of my order in the past)) [21:27] <@Braddoc> ((yeah; they are a rare bunch; lucky Lazarus they got a training camp on Scintilla)) [21:27] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((much like i wouldnt get the patches / insignia / whatever outward displays distinguish your convent or order from the next among Battle Sisters, unless i had worked with them in the past)) [21:27] * +Lazerus_Grim sits [21:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( oh I thought we didn't have chairs in these rooms heh )) [21:27] * +Alaric takes a seat and sit up straight. [21:27] * +Lazerus_Grim listens [21:28] <@Braddoc> ((woah!..and I thught you guys were silent...got a..no wait..2 4 line group popping out)) [21:28] <+Elana> ((heh - alright, so still blissful ignorance I guess)) [21:28] * +Mira_Atella takes a seat, keeping her eyes on Jex. [21:28] * +Grendel takes a seat, the mechadendrites waving slowly. [21:28] <+Elana> ((somebody should fill her in - carefully :P)) [21:28] * +Elana hesitates for a moment, but finally sits down, adjusting her robes. [21:28] <+Alaric> ((/me resists the urge to make a crass joke...)) [21:31] <@Braddoc> Jex "As you may well know, Our Duty is to safeguard mankind from within, without, and beyond. The Holy Ordos are one of the oldest branch of the Imperium, and it is an organization with a long, rich history of glorious deeds, and venerated traditions." [21:32] <@Braddoc> Jex "That is why I have summon you here today; TRADITIONS!" [21:32] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow slightly. [21:33] * +Grendel refrains from pointing out that the traditions of the Mechanicum predate the Imperium. [21:33] <@Braddoc> ((silence soon to be servoskull)) [21:33] <+Grendel> Who says Grendel can't be diplomatic. [21:33] <+Elana> ((hahah)) [21:33] <@Braddoc> Jex "As you may well know, Inquisitors operates alone, but it is not uncommon for Cabals to be formed." [21:34] * +Alaric sits quietly, listening. [21:36] <@Braddoc> Jex "The Calaxian Conclave is having it's annual gathering soon, and it was decided that I was to be responsable for the conclave reunion." [21:37] <@Braddoc> Jex "Of course for the Conclave to sit, the nuisance that is The time of Tribute must come to be." Session Close: Thu May 19 21:37:25 2011

[21:38] <@BradGM> Jex "Of course for the Conclave to sit, the nuisance that is The time of Tribute must come to be." [21:39] <@BradGM> Jex "and this is where you come in Mockingbird!" [21:39] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow. [21:39] * +Elana pauses for a moment before finally speaking up: 1"The time of tribute?" [21:40] <@BradGM> Jex "Indeed sister, The time of Tribute is an ancient tradition witihin the Inquisition- while it is something only Inquisitors partake in, acolytes can be use for this task" [21:42] <@BradGM> Jex "I have a short list mind you, nothing you cannot handle on your own." [21:42] <+Elana> 6For a moment, Elana's emerald eyes travel over her companions. 1"You think we are ... ready for such an undoubtedly important task, likely involving much ritual?" [21:43] * @Braddoc (~lonestar8@modemcable214.22-130-66.mc.videotron.ca) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:44] <@BradGM> Jex "Do not trouble yourself with the ritualistics; This is a matter for Inquisitors. Your task will to collect and give tribute, nothing more." [21:44] * +Alaric nods. [21:45] <+Grendel> "We are to go shopping?" [21:45] <+Elana> "A courier's task"6, the Battle Sister summarizes, missing any apparent enthusiasm. [21:45] * +Mira_Atella listens quietly, feeling as if they are being sent out to run errands. [21:46] <@BradGM> Jex "Merely visitng a few of my colleagues; While one is located in the Under Hive, you can easily plit yourself and cover more ground rapidly, as the date of the reunion draws near." [21:46] <@BradGM> ((not an =I= in the underhive; jsut some guy)) [21:47] * +Alaric nods once more. [21:47] <+Alaric> "How much time do we have exactly?" [21:49] <@BradGM> Jex "The event marking the Conclave gathering open begins in 3 days." [21:49] <+Alaric> "Three days," he repeats. "And the list of tasks?" [21:50] <@BradGM> **Jex slides a data-slate toward you** [21:50] * +Alaric picks the slate up, reading it. [21:50] <@BradGM> Jex "The is only a single condition to this; Sister Elana, you must collect tribute from Inquisitor Vaabak." [21:51] * +Elana furrows her brows. 1"Is there anything I should know, Mylord?" [21:53] <+Grendel> "Is there something the rest of us should know?" [21:53] <@BradGM> **Alaric, there is 5 tasks; 1- collect tribute from Inquisitor Vaabak, 2-Give tribute to Inquistior Skane, 3-Pay Tribute to Watch Commander Boreale 4-Collect Tribute from Pajo Helk, underworld boss, 5-Visit Astropath Majoris Paulus and give him a letter, then ask for his responce.** [21:53] <@BradGM> Jex "nothing Sister, this is merly how thigns are done." [21:54] <+Elana> ((Boreale, eh? so this is where he's been hiding ...)) [21:54] * +Alaric passes the slate to another person once he finishes. [21:54] * +Elana does not quite seem to be satisfied with such a shallow answer, yet she stays her tongue. [21:54] <+Mira_Atella> (( gee I can't imagine which one Mira is gonna get ;) )) [21:55] <@BradGM> ((good girl)) [21:55] <@BradGM> ((Boreale wasn't hiding: the Karuva campaign didn't evens tart yet)) [21:56] <+Alaric> "These are to be done in a particular order?" [21:56] <@BradGM> Jex "For those travelling in the Under Hive, I would recommend some degree of protection..and offensive capabilities." [21:57] * +Mira_Atella nods, thinking of a items to ask Bradon for. [21:57] <@BradGM> Jex "The first three msut be in order, but the other two can be done in any order." [21:57] * +Alaric nods. [21:58] <+Elana> "This list ..."6, she glances towards whoever currently has the slate, 1"Does it tell us where to go, exactly?" [21:59] <@BradGM> Jex "Captian rother can take you to the locations within the Tricorn; The Astropath is found at the Astropath's Tower, as for Mr. Helk, he is somewhere in the under Hive, generally around Toxic Falls." [21:59] <+Mira_Atella> "If you could send that list to the rest of the slates of those who have one, it would be helpful" She says to Alaric. [22:00] <+Alaric> ((I passed it on to share)) [22:01] * +Grendel reads over the data. "I assume the tribute from Tasks 2 and 3 comes from 1?" [22:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh, can't you just send info out to other slates instead of going person to person? )) [22:01] <@BradGM> ((no wireless here!))< [22:01] <+Alaric> ((I don't have tech-use :) )) [22:01] <@BradGM> ((all about pipes and tubes)) [22:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( meh lol )) [22:01] <@BradGM> Jex "Indded Grendel." [22:01] <+Elana> (( dataslates are for radicals, real puritans use ink and pergament )) [22:01] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [22:01] <@BradGM> ((Real adepts uses auto-quills)) [22:03] <@BradGM> Jex "I expect perfect executiion of this task, Mockingbird; It may seems mundane, but it is what keeps the Conclave from fracturing, as hard as it may be to believe." [22:03] <@BradGM> Jex "When you shall be done, return, and we shall discuss the meeting lcoation." [22:03] * +Alaric nods. [22:04] * +Grendel considers. "Are the first 3 and the 5th in the Tricorn?" [22:04] * +Mira_Atella makes note of the list for her own records. [22:05] <@BradGM> ((no, the astropath is at the astropath's tower)) [22:07] <+Grendel> ((but we can be lead there, so it shouldn't be too bad)) [22:08] * +Grendel considers. "Are we expecting conflict at any other than the Under Hive?" [22:08] <@BradGM> **Jex laughs** [22:08] <+Alaric> ((Elana hasto do the first? after that it seems more flexible)) [22:09] <@BradGM> Jex "Grendel, the day an Under hive will not be a den of danger, where life is cheap and ammunition cheaper, would be the day the hive of it dies." [22:09] <+Alaric> "I think that one will require us to travel in force. To ensure the task gets done." [22:09] <+Elana> ((yup)) [22:10] <@BradGM> Jex "Be mindful that you are not going to the Underhive to display force, but to collect Tribute. I will not accept nor tolerate spillings, understood?" [22:11] <+Alaric> "What exactly are these Tributes?" [22:12] <@BradGM> Jex "simple thigns; you shall see. As for Watch Commander Boreale, simply instruct Captain Rother to pay hommage to the Watch Commander." [22:13] * +Alaric nods. [22:14] <+Grendel> "Are these simple things items that can be carried by one person?" [22:14] <@BradGM> Jex "Yes." [22:14] * +Mira_Atella says to Alaric, "I'm not sure going as a group would be best for the under hive." [22:15] <+Alaric> "I believe travelling alone would be unwise as well." He shrugs. "I'm not suggesting we need the entire group to meet with a scumbag mobster. But getting ther eand back with the Tribute is a priority." [22:16] * +Elana eyes the female Acolyte: 1"One may seem less suspicious, but together we are much more likely to survive any ambush." [22:16] * +Mira_Atella nods, "I agree that it should not be done alone, but also not as a group." [22:16] <@BradGM> Jex "Instructions are in the slate as to how to introduce yourself to the company of Mr Halk." [22:16] <@BradGM> ((Helk..)) [22:16] * +Grendel checks over the instructions. [22:17] <@BradGM> **It is a series of simple code phrases, nothing too elaborate to be missed, but just enough to be rabble to any other layman.** [22:18] <+Grendel> "Perhaps Grim should go talk to the Astropath, the Sister talk to Inquisitor Vaabak, and the rest of us the Underhive? [22:19] * +Elana exchanges a glance with Grim. [22:20] <@BradGM> Jex "you know the only condition; The rerst is up to you. You have done well until now; do not break this streak of success yet!" [22:20] * +Mira_Atella doesn't particularly look interested in traveling with the tech priest in the under hive, giving him a side long glance. [22:21] <@BradGM> Jex "Instruct Captain Rother to inform me when you shall be done so we can move foward to the second part of the operation. The Emperor Protects!" [22:21] <+Alaric> "We need the tribute that the Sister needs to obtain for some of the other tasks. After, I think a stronger group to go underhive is better. We are less likely to be waylayed. If we are to avoid conflict, that would be best." [22:21] <@BradGM> **Jex gets and and dramatically exits the room.** [22:21] * +Lazerus_Grim leans towards and answers the Sister's look, "I've had many dealings with psykers in general, and I believe Grendel thinks you wouldn't like to talk to the Astropath." [22:21] <+Elana> ((he leaps out of the window?)) [22:21] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [22:22] * +Elana inclines her head, a strand of white hair finding its way between her eyes. 1"You are correct. It is a burden I would not have shied away from, yet I must confess I would not have wanted it either." [22:23] <@BradGM> ((that leaving inconsiouly..or whatever's the word)) [22:23] <@BradGM> ((Like 1960s Batman)) [22:24] * Tbg_ (~Tbg@ip70-181-18-101.ri.ri.cox.net) has joined #Shadowrun [22:24] <+Elana> ((through the window *nods*)) [22:24] <@BradGM> ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLZQ3OLEJWE&feature=related 0:48)) [22:25] * BradGM sets mode: +v Tbg_ [22:25] * Tbg_ is now known as Alarac` [22:25] <+Alarac`> ((miss any IC stuff? last I saw was the leaps out the window ;) )) [22:26] <@BradGM> ((send)) [22:26] <+Elana> ((XD exactly that, Brad ... thanks, I've tried to find it, but I only know the German version)) [22:27] <@BradGM> **Inquisitor Jex left. Captain Rother is with you.** [22:27] <+Grendel> "If we are just delivering and picking up objects, there is no need for all us to go to each." [22:27] * +Alaric (~Tbg@ip70-181-18-101.ri.ri.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [22:28] * +Alarac` nods. [22:28] * +Elana gives a short nod to Alaric: 1"Yet he was right... We would still have to pick up Inquisitor Vaabak's tribute first before proceeding to any other tasks." [22:29] * +Alarac` nods once more. "From there, I think it would be acceptable to split up to save time." [22:31] <+Elana> "Very well. I would rather scour the Underhive for some wayward Inquisitor than meet with an Astropath, Sanctioned or not. The stench of the psyker gene is amongst them, and I dislike their manners." [22:31] * +Mira_Atella nods in agreement. [22:33] * +Grendel turns to Captain Rother. "How long will it take to reach each location?" [22:34] <+Alarac`> "We will need to stop and requisition some basic gear before venturing Underhive." [22:34] <@BradGM> Rother "Processing data." [22:35] <+Alarac`> ((afka few, sorry)) [22:35] <+Mira_Atella> "Unless anyone else feels they should come as well, I think the Sister and I could handle the underhive while the rest of the team attend to the remainder of the list. Do you agree, Sister?" [22:36] <+Grendel> "Well, the Sister has to be at the first location, yes?" [22:36] <@BradGM> Rother "Inquisitor Vaabak, possible location; Inquisitor Globus Vaabak's Study, time; 23.5 minutes." [22:36] * +Mira_Atella nods "Can't do the rest until after that anyway." [22:37] <+Mira_Atella> "He said the first three had to be in order, correct?" [22:37] <+Elana> "We are in agreement." 6The Militant rises. 1"And you are correct." [22:37] <@BradGM> Rother "Inquisitor Skane, possible location, Tricorn, Arbite Fortress, Lucid palace, Off-world. Time to reach variable." [22:38] <+Mira_Atella> (( It almost sounds like a joke.. An assassin and a religious nut walk in to a bar.. )) [22:39] <+Elana> (( heh, reminds he of that comic I linked :P )) [22:39] <+Lazerus_Grim> "The Astropath's Tower should be a rather tame location, even an old-timer like me could handle it alone." [22:39] <+Elana> (( by the way, I just noticed, Alaric should see Skane. ;P )) [22:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( the dildo one? heh )) [22:40] <+Elana> (( well, the other character was an assassin, too .. ;) )) [22:40] <@BradGM> Rother "Watch Commander Boreale, Possible location, Tricorn, Watch Bastion Sigmundum. time: 40. 7 minutes." [22:41] <+Alarac`> ((back)) [22:41] * +Grendel listens to the times. [22:42] <+Alarac`> ((why should I see SKane?)) [22:43] <@BradGM> Rother "Pajo Helk, operates from Toxic Falls. time 250.4 minutes at best conditions." [22:43] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Skane is a former arbiter)) [22:43] <+Alarac`> ((Ah)) [22:46] <@BradGM> Rother "Astropath Majoris Paulus, possible location, Bastion Porphyr, time: 130.0 minutes." [22:46] <@BradGM> ((yeah..I sorta realized that Rother couldn't figure out you could use a car for those two.)) [22:47] <@BradGM> ((and I got the hive confused since the strart, you're actually in Hive Sibellus.)) [22:47] <+Alarac`> ((stupid floating skull ;) )) [22:50] <+Alarac`> "Well. It seems we know where to go and the order to proceed." [22:50] <+Elana> "Very well. I shall depart immediately. Do you wish to wait in our quarters, or accompany me?" [22:51] <+Alarac`> "I believe it will save time if we accompany you." [22:51] <+Grendel> "Then I suggest the Sister goes get the tribute from Inquisitor Vaabak while Grim visits the Astropaths, and then talk to Watch Commander Boreale." [22:52] <+Alarac`> "I can deliver the Tribute to Inquisitor Skane." [22:52] * +Elana nods, walking towards the exit. 1"Captain Rother..."6, she turns her head to the servoskull: 1"Please escort us to Inquisitor Vaabak's Study." [22:52] <+Mira_Atella> "I'll go with the Sister so that we can go from there to underhive, while the tribute is delivered." [22:55] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((do i know where the astropath's tower is? or will i need directions and / or an address from the skull?)) [22:55] * +Grendel frowns, considering. "The tribute must be delivered off of the tricorn. Would it not be easier to get the ones we can get done first quickly?" [22:55] <@BradGM> **Captain Rother guides you in a section fo the Tricorn you never really went before, so much that there's Strom Troopers posted every 50 meters or so. The Architecture is also more caverous and the ceeling are domed.** [22:55] * Ribonizer (hehe@bas4-hull20-1176171308.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Signed off) [22:56] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "We have to do the first three in order. Then we're splitting up to get the others quickly." [22:56] * +Alarac` nods. [22:57] <@BradGM> ((but nothing stops you from haivng some do 1-2-3 and others do 4-5 at the same time)) [22:57] <+Elana> 6After a while, the Sister Militant does not even seem to notice the guards anymore, as they have become as ubiqturous as the many pillars lining the huge walls. [22:57] * +Alarac` makes sure to note the instructions for Inquisitor Skane's delivery. [22:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( well Mira could go ahead for 4, but I think she'd be alone then and no one seemed to like that idea )) [22:58] <+Alarac`> ((yeah)) [22:58] * +Grendel shakes his head, thinking about the frailties of the minds of those that don't worship the Omnissiah. [22:59] <@BradGM> ((Lazeus is going alone to see the spooky astropath in his tower; you can always have him back you up so you 2 can do 4-5)) [23:00] <+Grendel> "There is no reason for us all to do the first three. I am sure the Sister and maybe one Escort can handle the movement of tribute, while Lazarus can handle the Astropaths. Once he is done there, the remaining group can handle the Underhive while the Sister is off planet looking for the second Inquisitor." [23:00] <+Mira_Atella> "So, completely changing the plans we made back in the meeting room? Lovely." [23:01] <+Alarac`> "I should point out that as an Arbitor, I am certianly not going to be welcomed Underhive or by a scumbag mobster." [23:01] <+Alarac`> "Stick with the plans we have. I will deliver to Skane. We split from here." [23:01] <@BradGM> ((wait..are you shipping the sister off-world for omse reason?)) [23:01] <+Alarac`> ((no)) [23:01] <@BradGM> ((Holy crap that's funny)) [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> "We have 3 days, it's not like we are in a race." [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh no )) [23:02] * +Elana eyes Alaric: 1"If you have been an Arbitrator, should you not have the most knowledge about how to proceed in the Hives?" [23:02] <+Alarac`> "If I had a squad of troopers, yes. To visit a mobster? Not if you wish to do so sublty as Mira suggests." [23:03] <@BradGM> ((Alaric needs back-up)) [23:03] <@BradGM> ((tssk)) [23:03] <+Alarac`> ((I dont do subtle :) )) [23:04] * +Grendel folds his arms into his sleeves, his mechadendrites waving placidly. [23:04] <+Alarac`> ((And the Inquisitor said no damaging everything on the way ;) )) [23:04] <@BradGM> ((you still got the code phrases so you can see him wihtout having too much trouble.)) [23:05] <+Alarac`> ((really? I didnt think so...but if you say so)) [23:05] <+Alarac`> "Though I suppose I do have the passcodes." He shrugs. "I am agreeable to either. I just do not wish to waste time or risk failure on this supposedly simple task." [23:05] <@BradGM> ((Listen; Rother gave you possible locations; some may be a garantee, some might not; that's why there's more than one location for skane.)) [23:06] <+Alarac`> ((stupid imperium needs phones...)) [23:06] <+Mira_Atella> (( Okay, so everyone is going to the first stop.. Elana gets the thing, gives it to Grim for part 2, Elana and Mira head to 4, Grendel and Alaric head to 5, and Grim finishes with 3? Or..? )) [23:06] <+Elana> ((that was more than one? oh - thought it was just further description of the address)) [23:07] <+Grendel> ((**Alaric, there is 5 tasks; 1- collect tribute from Inquisitor Vaabak, 2-Give tribute to Inquistior Skane, 3-Pay Tribute to Watch Commander Boreale 4-Collect Tribute from Pajo Helk, underworld boss, 5-Visit Astropath Majoris Paulus and give him a letter, then ask for his responce.**)) [23:07] <@BradGM> ((Mira, you got confused along the way)) [23:07] <+Grendel> ((1 the Sister has to go to.)) [23:08] <+Grendel> ((2- anyone can go to, but its also the one we know the least about where the guy might be)) [23:08] <+Grendel> ((3 is pretty easy, just need Captain Rother)) [23:08] <+Grendel> ((4 Seems like the most dangerous, so most of us should go)) [23:08] <+Grendel> ((5 Grim should go, cause of Psykers)) [23:08] <+Mira_Atella> (( Not sure where I got confused, what I said makes sense aside from who is doing 3 and 5 heh )) [23:08] <+Alarac`> (1- sister. 2- skane who might be in one of sever. 3- need rother 4- underhive 5- grim)) [23:09] <+Grendel> ((just seems silly that all of us are going to 1, which is a pickup, instead of say, 1 of us going 1, 3 of us going to 4, 1 of us going to 5, and getting them all done at the same time)) [23:09] <@BradGM> ((so 1-sister goes alone, 2- others can track down Skane and then RV with sister for 3, meanwhile Mira and Grim does 5, then all come together for 4)) [23:10] <+Alarac`> ((fine)) [23:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( Well isn't 3 getting part of what is being picked up at 1? I thought that's why it had to be done in order )) [23:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i like Grendel's idea [23:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> )) [23:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( I still don't like them all going together for the underhive one heh )) [23:10] <@BradGM> ((yeah Grendel's idea's good)) [23:11] <+Alarac`> ((sure.)) [23:11] <@BradGM> ((still need to track down Skane; And you CAN Split up people, please, this is DH, not D&D. You won't get killed by some lone gelanious cube)) [23:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( Brad, you were just asking for trouble when you came up with this idea ;) )) [23:12] <@BradGM> ((I thought you would split up and actually cover more ground than just going like a pack from one stop to the next)) [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( Well, you said the first 3 had to be done in order, figured there was a reason. )) [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( which meant the others couldn't be done until those were )) [23:13] <@BradGM> ((I did say that the other ones can be done in any order.)) [23:13] <+Grendel> ((if we want, we can send one person with Elana so she isn't traveling alone just incase she has trouble carrying the tribute..and Lazarus can get 5 done, then help with 4)) [23:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( Guess it was just a matter of interpretation of what you said.. to me it sounded like we couldn't do the rest until the first three were done )) [23:15] <+Grendel> ((Because if 2 takes us 2 days and 22 hours to find the guy, we're going to feel like idiots for not splitting up and doing the rest)) [23:15] <+Alarac`> ((you'd think we could CALL to find out where peopel were ;) )) [23:15] <+Grendel> "If these is this much concern, perhaps the Sister and I should handle the Tribute, while the rest of the group deals with the Astropath and Underhive." [23:15] <@BradGM> ((Call who? You know..no one here)) [23:15] <+Elana> ((have to admit, I understood it like Mira ;)) [23:16] <+Alarac`> ((yeah, me too)) [23:16] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm fine with Mira going straight for 4 alone or with someone else, doesn't really matter )) [23:16] <+Alarac`> ((anyway, fine, send some people to find Skane. We can meet up for 4. *shrug* or whatever. don't honestly care atm)) [23:16] <+Elana> "In either case, I suggest we remain in regular vox-contact." [23:16] <+Grendel> ((the Underhive is the one the Inquisitor specifically said was dangerous, why would we send people alone?)) [23:16] * +Mira_Atella nods to Elana. [23:17] <+Alarac`> "Of course." [23:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( he didn't say the mission itself was dangerous, just that underhive is never safe. Mira is an assassin, so she's used to being in places like that heh )) [23:18] <+Alarac`> ((ditto. but still...brad seems to think/or planned to have us all there ;) )) [23:18] <@BradGM> ((yeah, pretty much that)) [23:18] <@BradGM> ((for Mira actually)) [23:19] <@BradGM> ((I did plan for you to split up and do 123 with one group and 4-5 wiht another)) [23:19] <+Grendel> "So agreed? The Sister and i will do 1 2 and 3, the rest of you will do 4 and 5?" [23:20] * +Mira_Atella looks at Alaric, "You seemed to not be comfortable with going in to the underhive." [23:20] <+Grendel> "Then he can take my place with the Sister?" [23:21] * +Alarac` shrugs. "I was concerned for the success. I am not worried about my safety. But if you wish to switch, it concerns me little. As long as we proceed." [23:22] * +Grendel turns to the Sister. "Who do you wish to accompany you?" [23:23] * +Elana looks brooding. 1"I do not mind, so you may choose as per your own preferences. But whatever you decide, do so before we reach Inquisitor Vaabak's quarters, or I shall take each and every one of you to him with me." [23:24] * TheUnseen (~chatzilla@c-98-207-8-104.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Shadowrun [23:24] * Calvin` (~calvin@c66-76-153-97.amrlcmta01.tx.dh.suddenlink.net) has joined #Shadowrun [23:24] <+Alarac`> "Fine, I will accompany you. This delay is becoming annoying." [23:25] * +Mira_Atella nods to Grendel and Grim, "Do we have a course for getting to the underhive then?" [23:25] * +Grendel turns, heading back the way he came, pulling out his data-slate, looking over the information for the letter to the Astropaths. [23:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((I have the letter)) [23:25] <+Grendel> "I suggest we do the guaranteed Astropath one first." [23:26] * Calvin` (~calvin@c66-76-153-97.amrlcmta01.tx.dh.suddenlink.net) has left #Shadowrun [23:26] <+Grendel> "Then we can requisition gear and go to the Underhive." [23:26] * +Mira_Atella looks around as now everything that was just decided for the groups makes no sense. [23:26] <+Elana> "Notify us before you head into the Hive. I would wish for hourly contact, in case you meet any trouble." [23:26] <+Alarac`> "I agree." [23:27] <+Alarac`> ((Grim is doing the astropaths)) [23:27] <@BradGM> ((The Psyker is, oddly enough, the only stable element of the plan)) [23:27] <+Alarac`> ((heh)) [23:27] <+Elana> ((we are doomed)) [23:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( Alright, so Grendel and Mira are heading to Bradon then to get ready for underhive? )) [23:28] <+Grendel> ((appears so)) [23:28] * +Mira_Atella nods, "We'll keep in contact." [23:28] * +Elana bows. 1"Ave Imperator. I shall pray for your safe return." [23:29] <@BradGM> ((Grim is with you I think, as you're doing #5 as well?)) [23:29] <+Alarac`> "Go with the Emporer." [23:29] * +Mira_Atella turns to follow the tech priest, who (at least in the tricorn) knows where he is going. [23:29] <+Alarac`> ((heh)) [23:30] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((indeed, though if the underhive team wants it smaller then i can handle #5 on my own)) [23:31] <+Alarac`> ((do it on your own. faster)) [23:31] <+Mira_Atella> (( as long as Grendel doesn't try to throw any grenades, I think the two of them should be safe in the underhive hehe )) [23:31] <+Alarac`> ((lol)) [23:32] <+Grendel> ((just for that i'll requsition hallucinogenic grenades)) [23:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( but of course Mira gets put with the member of the team she can't stand ;) )) [23:32] * +Grendel heads towards the equipment locker. [23:32] <+Alarac`> ) [23:32] <+Elana> ((lol @ grenades)) [23:32] <@BradGM> ((It's late guys, we'll stop it here.)) [23:33] <+Elana> (("bugsbugsbugsbugs")) [23:33] <+Elana> ((awww)) [23:33] <+Alarac`> ((works for me)) [23:33] <+Mira_Atella> (( Good point, we can make our requisition list then so it'll take less time next week to get going )) [23:33] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((k)) [23:34] <@BradGM> ++++++++Terminate Transmission++++++++
