One of Inquisitor Skane’s cell encounted them during an investigation in a possible existance of a cult. Mockingbird is to go on Modra and obtain an Eldar beacon which blocked astropathing communications and return it to the Tricorn without alerting the local autorities. Before heading to Bradon, Jex took Alaric away and included a woman named Felucia to the cell, obviously fresh from Hive Hoolok. After introductions, Mockingbird went to Bradon and the Squat loaned some discreet gear, silenced weapons, local civilian clothing and a few even went as far as changing their physical appearance. +++ ++++++++End Transmission++++++++

[20:15] * Braddoc is now known as BradGM [20:16] <@BradGM> ((and you got 100xp last game)) [20:17] <@BradGM> ((If you want to get last minute gear, now's your chance; else it's paperwork time)) [20:17] <+Felucia> (go go lol) [20:17] <+Elana> ((only the microbead and the forged ID)) [20:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( Can we really get the papers from Bradon though without having to wait a few days? )) [20:18] <@BradGM> ((no; you will need to wait for those)) [20:18] <+Elana> ((oh yeah, and I'm turning my chaplet ecclesiasticus into a pearl necklace :P perfect disguise!)) [20:19] <@BradGM> **You get your gear from Bradon** [20:20] <@BradGM> Bradon "So who's going to fill up the form?" [20:20] * +Mira_Atella points over towards Grendel. [20:20] * +Lazerus_Grim puts a finger on his nose. [20:21] <@BradGM> Bradon "fine by me, let's see how to cog-boy can write Low Gothic" **He waves the form in front of you before passing it to Grendel** [20:21] * +Grendel` sighs. "I suppose I will, again." [20:21] <@BradGM> ((you did already?)) [20:21] <@BradGM> ((oh right- with Mira)) [20:21] <+Mira_Atella> (( we were done with Bradon, went back to the house to dye hair, then were following the skull to the pilot )) [20:21] <+Grendel`> ((And I think the first time around with the hulk)) [20:22] <@BradGM> ((that was Alaric)) [20:22] * +Grendel` starts to fill out the forms while his mechadendrites writhe behind him. [20:22] <@BradGM> **Oh right, so you're done with Bradon and were returning to Briefroom 8 to meet Inquisitor Jex** [20:23] <@BradGM> **Inquisitor Jex is there, waving you to sit** [20:23] * +Mira_Atella walks towards the briefing room with the others, finding a seat once inside. [20:23] <@BradGM> Jex "Mockingbird, it seems you are taking this task with great seriousness" [20:24] <+Grendel`> "Of course." [20:25] * +Elana promptly proceeds to one of the empty seats as well, not quite having gotten used to her change in appearance yet, even though it so far only affects her hair, to whose strands her eyes travel once or twice. [20:25] <@BradGM> Jex "The ship that shall take you to Modra is currently in orbit over Scintilla. Captain Vouleur is expecting you; here are some information about your transporter." [20:26] <@BradGM> **He slides a slate to the closest person ** [20:26] <@BradGM> ((containing the bits of info that's on the wiki)) [20:27] * +Mira_Atella takes a look over the information and passes it on, taking her own dataslate and adding notes to it. [20:28] <@BradGM> Jex "There is also an agent on Modra that will assist you, a certain Gettok Spinlop. He operates a book store in New Haven, with a house in the suburbs." [20:29] <@BradGM> Jex "He shall be previously informed of your arrival and will await you at the landing pad South-East of New Haven." [20:29] * +Mira_Atella nods. [20:29] * +Elana nods slightly as her eyes travel over the dataslate's surface, absorbing the information before she passes it on. [20:29] * +Grendel` listens carefully as he absorbs the data on the slate. [20:30] <@BradGM> Jex "But do keep in mind that while he is in the competence to provide assistance, he is not to be replacing you and doing your mission." [20:30] <@BradGM> Jex "Do we understand, Mockingbird?" [20:32] <+Elana> "Of course, Inquisitor. We understand our role." [20:33] <@BradGM> Jex "There is also the matter of the newcommer; she is not properly trained yet, but I suspect she will be of assistance to your current situation." [20:34] <+Grendel`> "Just what is she trained in?" [20:34] <+Grendel`> ((brb, stupid door)) [20:34] * +Elana glances towards Felucia, apparently likewise interested in further revelations. [20:36] * +Felucia stays in the corner minding her own buisness obviously not effected that they were speaking of her as if she wasnt even in the room. [20:36] <@BradGM> Jex "I noticed that your previous failure was due to your lack of social capabilitites; I expect her addition to Mockingbird shall proove constructive and should expand your options and abilitites as a cell." [20:38] <+Elana> "Inquisitor..."6, the Sister cautiously raises her voice, 1"In what manner of ... social situations would the girl prove adept?" [20:39] <@BradGM> Jex "The ones where you would not qualify, obviously." *His tone is a bit sarcastic* [20:39] <@BradGM> ((i.e. all of them if the nun's case)) [20:39] <@BradGM> ((except when legs must be broken to provide answers)) [20:40] <+Elana> ((:D)) [20:41] * +Grendel` glances over at the newcomer, then shrugs. "I see. Very well, if you think it best." [20:41] <@BradGM> Jex "Of course it is best!" [20:41] <@BradGM> Jex "Now, you must be eager to be on your way yes?" [20:42] * +Grendel` nods. "Of course." [20:42] <+Mira_Atella> "Quickly as possible." [20:42] <@BradGM> Jex "Excellent! Follow me, Mockingbird." [20:43] * +Elana exchanges a glance with the other acolytes, then rises. [20:43] * +Mira_Atella stands from the chair and sets off following Jex. [20:43] * +Grendel` pulls his mechadendrites in and follows the Inquisitor. [20:43] <@BradGM> **He leaves the room wiht you in tow "I am giving you another chance to succeed, Mockingbird. I would be hard pressed not to punish you were you return with failure." [20:45] <@BradGM> ((no wait..that..didn't made sence I think)) [20:45] <@BradGM> ((no it makes sence)) [20:45] <+Elana> ((it's okay, it does)) [20:45] <+Mira_Atella> "That won't happen." [20:46] <+Elana> "We will return in success or die as martyrs. Rest assured that we will not allow this perversion to continue." [20:47] <@BradGM> **Jex guides you down the halls of the Tricorn and back into the Teleportarium room you all know except Elana. The Tech-Priests are busy working the machinery as console-bound servitors monitors the flux flow** [20:47] <@BradGM> Jex "I would rather prefer you return alive, a dead body serves little prupose." [20:48] <@BradGM> ((always about "dying as martyrs")) [20:48] <+Grendel`> "Of course they do. They can be reclaimed into paste to feed the servitors." [20:48] <@BradGM> ((You don't have the tatoo, drink and smoke cigarettes!)) [20:48] <@BradGM> Jex "I would rather have a few additionnal servitors, Grendel." [20:49] <@BradGM> **Jex motions to the semi-enclosed space that is the teleportarium platform** [20:49] * +Elana retains her stern expression but remains silent, though her muscles tense at the Inquisitor's words. [20:50] * +Grendel` glances around, studying the various machines surrounding the teleportarium platform as he steps up. [20:50] * +Mira_Atella steps on to the platform, letting her arms hang down at her sides as she waits. [20:50] <@BradGM> Jex "Emperor protects, Mockingbird. Give my regards to Captain Vouleur." [20:51] <+Elana> ((he's still motioning for me to stay behind?)) [20:51] <+Felucia> "if they fail will I be punished too I mean it woulda only been my first time right?" [20:51] * +Mira_Atella glances at the girl with quite the annoyed expression. [20:51] <@BradGM> ((No Elana; he is motionning you to get on the teleportarium, not that elana knows it's that)) [20:52] <@BradGM> Jex "Your success depends on their success, Felucia. You were given a second chance at life to serve the Emperor. Do not let it go to waste." [20:52] <+Elana> ((ahh, misread that sentence, alright)) [20:52] * +Felucia goes to where everyone else is. [20:53] <@BradGM> **He nods at the Tech-Priests as the slow but rising loud sounds of machines begins to fill your ears and steams ejects from ancient cogmachines. Then your vision dissolves again and get mixed with another similar, but different, teleportarium station. Elana, roll WP**** [20:53] * +Elana somewhat reluctantly follows the cell onto the platform, giving the acolytes a questioning look before reality starts to fade away. [20:53] * +Mira_Atella closes her eyes. [20:54] <+Elana> !perc 34 [20:54] <+DiceServitor> Elana rolls [ 34% (or Lower) : 04 75%, Fail ] [20:54]  Elana rolls [ 34% (or Lower) : 12 17%, Success ] [20:54] * +Grendel` mutters a prayer to the Omnissiah. [20:54] * BradGM sets mode: +m [20:54] <+Elana> (I'll take HateDice :P)) [20:54] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [20:54] <@BradGM> ((re-roll it)) [20:54] <+Elana> [20:54] <+Elana> !perc 34 [20:54] <+DiceServitor> Elana rolls [ 34% (or Lower) : 04 100%, Fail ] [20:54] <@BradGM> ((hahaha)) [20:54] <+Elana> ((lol, gonna fate that!)) [20:54] <+Mira_Atella> (( ouch )) [20:55] <@BradGM> ((don't fate it! it's gonna be funney)) [20:55] <@BradGM> ((for me; I,ll use one of my charts!)) [20:55] <+Elana> ((but these are my Sunday robes :I)) [20:55] <+Elana> ((oh well, for the lulz)) [20:55] <@BradGM> ((use one if you want)) [20:55] <+Elana> ((it's okay, I'm sure it'll be hilarious :P)) [20:56] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((The Sister arrives but her clothes stay behind.)) [20:56] <+Elana> ((>_<)) [20:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( You fail at life and the transporter mixes your DNA with that of a giraffe and a donkey )) [20:56] <@BradGM> 1d100+70 [20:56] <+DiceServitor> BradGM rolls 1D100+70: 23 +70 = 93 [20:59] <@BradGM> **Elana, you see reality being warped around you, even yourself seem to fade away! You are taken by panic, and you begin running away from the platform, before tripping on passing wire flat in front of a young void-born yellowish tinted boy not older than 13 in a scarlet and brown uniform armed wiht a psitol and a sword. [20:59] <@BradGM> 1d5 [20:59] <+DiceServitor> BradGM rolls 1D5: 3 [20:59] <@BradGM> and gain 3 insanity point** [21:00] <@BradGM> **The rest of you telepor naturally as you've seen the process before, and see elana diving onto the ground as you materialize abaord the Eternal Sunset.** [21:00] <+Elana> ((I think I'll spend that FP now to avoid the insanity gain at least)) [21:00] <@BradGM> ((ok)) [21:01] <@BradGM> (damn..no sister fearing teleportarium)) [21:01] * +Grendel` looks curious as the Sister winds up on the floor. "Problems?" [21:01] <+Felucia> (insanity is your friend) [21:02] * +Mira_Atella walks over to the sister and offers a hand, "You get used to it." [21:02] * +Elana staggers off the platform, apparently having lost her orientation. Her awkward motions are stopped abruptly by a thick wire, sending the ecclesiarchal zealot to the ground - accompanied by a panicked scream as the Sister begins to roll on the floor, clutching at her leg. [21:03] <@BradGM> Boy "Teleportomancer Bop, what happened?" [21:04] * +Grendel` glances around after making sure the Sister hasn't mutanted, and takes the time to study the new teleportarium. [21:04] <+Felucia> "she fell" [21:05] <@BradGM> **A Tech-Priest in robes matching the boy's uniform suddenly appears in your view as he moves within the wall of cog-engines, ancient devices and lenghts of wires "I seconded the woman's conclusion. Teleportarium sequence was successful. Any malfounction was caused not by us Master Kerp." [21:06] <+Elana> "NO! What ... where are we? What is this witchery?" 6Having noticed that there is actually not a seven-eyed monster clawing at her foot, the Sister slowly lets go of her limb, looking around with a hint of paranoia in her eyes. [21:08] <@BradGM> Kerp "Perhaps a few lessons in teleportarium procedures might be worth it..Teleportomancer Bop, see to it the sister recieved adequate training after we leave orbit." [21:08] <@BradGM> Bop "Yes Master Kerp." [21:09] * +Felucia stifles a giggle. "so you are going to train her to stand still without falling?" [21:10] <+Elana> 6Understanding slowly creeps into the Sister's rattled mind as she finally reaches for Mira's hand, should it still be extended. 1"The ship...? How?" [21:10] <@BradGM> **The boy then turns to you more officially, straithening his uniform's jacket with a quick pull downward. "Yes, welcome aboard the Eternal Sunshine. I'm Mister Kerp Vouleur." [21:10] * +Grendel` starts examining the various cogitator engines and wires. "Fascinating." [21:10] * +Mira_Atella glances at the girl again, "If your skills are supposedly your socialability, I hope we never need to use them." [21:11] <+Felucia> "sociability, not empaty" [21:12] <@BradGM> Kerp "I shall escort you to the Bridge where the Captain is waiting." [21:12] <+Grendel`> "The Teleportarium is original to the ship?" [21:13] <@BradGM> Kerp "No, this used to be a cargo hold I was told. Now please.." *He raises his arms toward the door and begins to walk "..the Captain is waiting." [21:13] * +Felucia follows kerp. [21:13] * +Grendel` follows slowly as he continues to look over his shoulders to study the ancient machinery. [21:14] * +Mira_Atella walks quietly behind them. [21:14] * +Elana eyes the surrounding machinery with open scepticism. Although having regained her composure, she still makes a somewhat haunted expression and obviously did not enjoy the short journey. [21:16] <@BradGM> **Kerp takes you to the bridge. The ship's design (for those who knows/notice) is quite ancient; large corridors with a domed ceiling with guilded scenes stretching for dozens of meters of star systems, famous ships, battles or gougeous scenery. The walls are boarded with worna and ancient, but still present and carefully maintainded by the crews and servitors.** [21:17] <@BradGM> **Kerp takes you to the bridge.

[21:19] <@BradGM> ((make awareness Grendel)) [21:19] <@BradGM> ((roll, sorry)) [21:19] * +Felucia keeps a closer eye on the crew then the ship structure* [21:19] <+Elana> ((Orks!!))

[21:26] * +Grendel` continues to look around as he walks with the group towards the bridge. [21:27] <@BradGM> **You arrive at the bridge, which makes you think it may have been tken from a Naval vessel; thick construction and narrow, armoured glass viewing windows. An abino man around 40 years of age gets up. He is wearing the same coloured uniform, if only wiht more elaboration and decoration. A bolt pistol rests at his side across a curved sword of good quality. His skin is so pale you can cleary see the blue of his veins. His eyes are a mix of green and yellow and his white hair seems to move as if drowing in water.** [21:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( test.. my connection is being wonky, making sure i'm still here heh )) [21:30] <+Felucia> (you are) [21:30] * stormcrow (~strider@province-wireless-173-84-27-213.dr02.roch.ny.frontiernet.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:30] <@BradGM> Captain "Mockingbird, welcome aboard my vessel." [21:30] * +Mira_Atella nods to Captain, "Thank you." [21:30] * +Grendel` makes a cursory nod to the Captain before studying the bridge of this so far magnificent vessel. [21:31] * +Elana inclines her head. 1"Lord Captain. Thank you for granting us passage." [21:32] <@BradGM> Vouleur "No thanks are neccessary, in this situation, one can only accept." [21:34] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Prepare to leave orbit, adjust warp-jump coordonates for the Modra system. Mister Brageonsworth, you have the bridge." [21:34] * +Elana raises a brow. 1"I hope you understand the importance of our mission. We do not mean to intrude on your operations, yet we too have to follow the path that has been laid out before us." [21:35] <@BradGM> **The crew begins to get in motion.** [21:35] * +Mira_Atella watches the activity as the crew move about. [21:36] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Let's discuss this further." [21:36] <@BradGM> **He enters a side-door.** [21:37] * +Elana follows, taking a last glance at the impressive bridge before following the Rogue Trader. [21:37] * +Mira_Atella goes through the door, following the Captain and Elana. [21:37] * +Grendel` follows slowly, sneaking glances at the various stations. [21:38] <@BradGM> ((he's not rogue trader)) [21:38] <@BradGM> ((he doesn't have a xeno pelt)) [21:38] <+Elana> ((oops :P)) [21:39] <@BradGM> ((hehe) [21:39] <+Elana> ((oh right, chartist captain yes?)) [21:39] <+Elana> ((remember now)) [21:40] <@BradGM> **You enter a large conference/briefing room, with a wide window, giving onto Hive Tarsus below on the surface and the consent cargo traffic from transport ships to the hive world** [21:41] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Please, sit. Perhaps you would like something to drink before we discuss the reason for your transport?" [21:41] * +Felucia takes her seat [21:42] * +Mira_Atella finds a seat, keeping her eyes out the window for a moment, "I'm fine, thank you." [21:42] * +Elana gets seated, though she does not offer any inclination on whether or not she would take the captain up on his offer. 1"I am afraid we cannot tell you very much, my lord." [21:43] * +Grendel` remains standing, declining the offer of something to drink as he looks around the conference room for any sign of technology. [21:43] <@BradGM> **Vouleur signals kerp and the boy goes to fetch a drink for the Captain, who takes a seat in the biggest chair present.** [21:44] <@BradGM> **Seems your standard pattern holographic enhenced ship conference/briefing room with wide window Grendel** [21:45] * +Grendel` pays particular attention to the holographic enhancements. [21:46] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Well, I can tell you that I must take you deep within the Azeroth Abyss stay in orbit for an undetermined lapse of time, then return with you and a certain piece of cargo. what can you tell me about this...cargo?" [21:47] * +Elana glances at the other acolytes, gauging if anyone wants to try themselves at diplomatic denial. [21:48] * +Mira_Atella returns Elana's gaze with her own that says, don't ask me unless you want him dead. [21:49] <+Grendel`> "Nothing dangerous in and of itself." [21:49] <@BradGM> Vouleur "what is it?" [21:50] <+Elana> "Unless put into the wrong hands"6, the Sister adds. 1"Which we are here to prevent." [21:50] <@BradGM> ((BRB, gonna go clena my glasses)) [21:52] * +Grendel` shakes his head slightly. "A small blessing of the Omnissiah." [21:53] <@BradGM> Vouleur "How..big is it?" [21:54] * +Grendel` considers what he knows of the size of a beacon's cogitator engine. [21:54] * +Elana gives Grendel a strange look at the comment. [21:55] <@BradGM> ((it's as big as a standard PC tower)) [21:55] * +Grendel` uses his hands and his mechadendrites to show off the dimensions. [21:56] <+Grendel`> ((oops, skip that. Not a small blessing, make that a small abomination :) )) [21:57] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Any chance of this..machine affecting my vessel's systems? You ahve seen part of it. Damage to the machine-spirit may be unrepairable." [21:58] <+Grendel`> "It should never interact with the machine-spirit of this vessel." [21:58] * +Grendel` ponders he himself interacting with the machine-spirit however... [21:59] <@BradGM> Vouleur "I certainly expect it not to do such thing. What about the itme? Any chance of retaliation or perhaps certain..groups willing to acquire it that I should be aware of?" [22:00] <+Grendel`> "They should be unaware that we have it." [22:01] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Even without the aid of warp-capable ships or astropath, rumours and information travels with blinding speed, tech-priest. Nothing is ever certain." [22:03] * +Grendel` nods. "Of course." [22:04] <@BradGM> Vouleur "I would be more capable of accomplishing what is needed of me if I must plan for a perticular third party to appear." [22:06] * +Grendel` glances around at the rest. [22:06] * +Mira_Atella sits quietly and listens to them. [22:06] * +Elana takes a deep breath. 1"I do not think there is any threat to your ship or your crew, my lord. We ask nothing more of you than to be there when we require transport. We do not intend to draw you in any kind of conflict." [22:08] <@BradGM> Vouleur "Of course. Mister Kerp, take our guests to their quarters." [22:08] * +Mira_Atella vacates her seat and follows Kerp. [22:08] <@BradGM> Vouleur "While you are guests here, I do expect you to provide assitance if it is needed." [22:09] * +Felucia follows kerp as well tryign again to check out the crew hoping shes now at a slower walking pace. [22:10] <+Grendel`> "Of course, I shall examine the engines if it is permissable." [22:10] <@BradGM> Vouleur "This would be the domain of our Chief Enginseer, Mister Kerp, make it so." [22:11] * +Elana rises slowly. 1"I am sure this can be arranged, provided we remain with enough spare time to make plans and preparations." 6She nods towards the Tech-Priest. 1"I may administer to your crew's spiritual needs. Does your ship have a confessor?" [22:11] <@BradGM> **You are taken to your quarters, nicely furnished room, each with a wide window giving into the void.** [22:12] <@BradGM> Kerp "We have Chaplain Ervin, he should be at the shrine." [22:14] <+Elana> "Very well. Please inform your chaplain that I will assist him in guiding the faithful through daily prayers, if so permitted. I shall await his answer and any timetables set for ministration." [22:14] <@BradGM> **Felucia, you are taken to the guests quarters; you saw no crew short of mop servitors cleaning the floor.** [22:14] <@BradGM> ((anybody else wants to do somehting aboard the ship while they travel?))
