After close to a year of wait, the Acolytes were called back to the Tricorn, but at Inquisitor Vaadak’s request, were he informed the cell that Inquisitor Jex was on Sisk, conducting an investigation concerning a xeno infiltration, supported by human sympathizers. .+++ [20:40] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:40] <+Mira_Atella> (( I was asking permission about the 6 blades, since they're very rare )) [20:44] * +Grendel looks over this new Inquisitor, studying them and the area around, keeping his mechadendrite on the Assassin. [20:46] * +Mira_Atella remains silent, watching the happenings and listening. [20:48] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Well, it seems the news of your Lord being in the field have left you shocked and silent." [20:49] <+Lazerus_Grim> "So where do you fit in? Why didn't he just send for us himself?" [20:50] * +Sister_Elana narrows her brows. 1"I think all of us would appreciate more information. Do you have his last location, his last messages? Is there some sort of ... contingency plan for this sort of incident?" [20:50] <@BradGM> Vaadak "You were scattered all over the secotr, if not further; for him to reach and every one of you from his location would have proven difficult and too hazardous a tas; As we have crossed paths in our work more than once before, he has intrusted me to act as liaison in case soemthing would befall him." [20:51] <+Grendel> "Then we are to join him on Sisk?" [20:52] <@BradGM> Vaadak "He has missed his last 3 scheduled transmission now, and while once is not habit, 3 is becomming cause for concern." [20:52] <@BradGM> Vaadak "I cannot assist him right now as I ahve my own investigations to conduct. It shall fall to you to travel on Sisk and find what happened on Inquisitor Jex." [20:54] <+Sister_Elana> "Exactly when -did- you receive his last transmission, then?" [20:54] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Now, it would be 2 standard weeks." [20:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Do you have any more information on the world, or what threats we may encounter there?" [20:55] * +Mira_Atella nods. "He may not be my favorite person, but he's certainly been good enough to us over the past few years. I'd hate to see something happen to him at the hands of someone else." [20:55] <@BradGM> Vaadak "You should be able to find information on the world in the Inquisitorial dataanks." [20:55] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Caution is key here, Mockingbird; If those xenos have human sympitazers, be weary of who you trust there." [20:56] <+Grendel> "I believe the Inquisition-phrase is "Trust No One."" [20:57] * +Sister_Elana gives the Tech-Priest a look before returning her attention to Vaadak. [20:57] <+Lazerus_Grim> "While we understand you can't give us manpower or personal assistance, can you provice us with resources? Anything from throne gelt to travel accomodations and contacts on the ground would be appeciated." [20:58] <@BradGM> ((FYI: Jex did gave you access to an account 2 missions ago)) [20:58] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((missed that. details?)) [20:58] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((question still stands to him, the more the better)) [20:58] <@BradGM> ((Basically you got an acquisiton/profit factor of 10)) [20:59] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((for use how?)) [20:59] <@BradGM> ((well, it's cash and lots of them; you could use it to maybe book a flight to Sisk for example)) [21:00] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((good to know)) [21:00] <@BradGM> ((an expenses account of sorts, minus the fact that you can use it to buy things for you)) [21:00] <@BradGM> ((missions only cash so to speak_)) [21:01] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((any way to increase it? does it decrease the same way as Ascension rules?)) [21:01] <@BradGM> Vaadak "There should be an agent of the inquisition on Sisk; you should get it at the same place as the world's information." [21:01] <@BradGM> ((not yet and it can go down, yes.)) [21:02] * +Grendel nods slightly, filing away the information. [21:02] <@BradGM> Vaadak, "I shall have my Adept compile what information Jex has gathereed before his silence." [21:02] * +Mira_Atella leans close to Elana, whispering "If we can get in contact with Parlow, he could be helpful since we're lacking a deal of information." [21:03] <@BradGM> ((Parlow is limited to Modra)) [21:03] <@BradGM> ((he never left his world)) [21:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( k, he could still know someone though that could help? )) [21:03] <@BradGM> ((not in this situation, no.)) [21:03] * +Sister_Elana tilts her head slightly towards Mira, confused. 1"Do you believe he was ever off-world?" [21:04] * +Mira_Atella shrugs a bit, "Wouldn't hurt to ask, at the least." [21:06] <+Lazerus_Grim> "We would much appreciate that, Inquisitor, thank you. I'm sure Inquisitor Jex appreciates this as well; no doubt he will look on you even more favorably upon his safe return." [21:06] <@BradGM> Vaadak "I should be in my Office if you would need of me, except if there is anything else, I will have Philmoore bring you the data at your quarters when he will be done compiling them." [21:06] <+Sister_Elana> "One more thing - until we have determined the fate of Inquisitor Jex ... do we report to you?" [21:08] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Pass by Philmoore for this, he shall act as liaison, Gant shall assist him." *The ganger doens't look to pleased of eharing this* [21:08] * +Mira_Atella frowns slightly. [21:09] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Anything else, Mockingbird, or can we conclude that the meeting is at a close?" [21:10] <+Sister_Elana> "I believe we are done here." 6The Sister gives a questioning look around before her eyes set on Vaadak again. 1"May He watch over you." [21:10] * +Lazerus_Grim nods at the Sister's words and turns, heading out of the Inquisitor's chambers. [21:11] * +Mira_Atella nods and gives a smile to the Sister, something of a rarity. [21:11] <@BradGM> Vaadak "Oh, I know He does Sister, no need to concern yourself over me; it is you who should be asking for his guidance and protection." [21:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm trying to work her slowly in to being nicer lol )) [21:11] * +Lazerus_Grim waits outside in the hallway, meaning to discuss their immediate course of action. [21:12] <@BradGM> ((he watches the fat, half man you've become!)) [21:12] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we can tell it's a very strained smile)) [21:12] <@BradGM> ((heh..Mira spend a month trying to smile and it paid off!)) [21:12] * +Sister_Elana arches her brow, stopping on her way out. 1"I am a Daughter of the Emperor, Inquisitor. Ours is the path of the righteous." [21:12] <@BradGM> (( like so? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buZZyUBwymA&feature=related )) [21:13] * +Grendel tilts his head slightly to the Inquisitor. "The Omnissiah will provide I'm sure." and turns to leave. [21:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( Exactly )) [21:13] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((perfect)) [21:13] <+Sister_Elana> (( lol )) [21:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( Elana must be playing the part of the small blonde girl )) [21:15] * Beir (~chatzilla@120.88.51.221) has joined #Shadowrun [21:15] * +Mira_Atella turns to leave the room, walking slowly behind the tech priest. [21:16] <@BradGM> **You exit Inquisitor Vaddak's Quarters, followed by Philmoore the old scribe "Here is my vox wave if you'd need me, I shall go to the Vox-station and compiled the information gathered." [21:17] * +Mira_Atella takes the information and puts it on her slate. [21:17] * +Grendel makes note of the wave, before heading to the databanks to acquire information on Sisk. [21:17] <+Sister_Elana> "You have our thanks. Contact us once you have finished your task, and please prepare portable data-blocks so we may study your information in greater detail once we are underway." [21:17] <@BradGM> **He leaves with Gant following less than entusiastically behind him.** [21:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Look like Grendel read my mind. The three of us should gear up?" [21:19] <+Mira_Atella> "Gear up for what? We have nothing right now." [21:19] <+Mira_Atella> "Let's study the information on the world first." [21:19] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Stealth, subtlety, and killing xenos I guess." [21:20] * +Sister_Elana hesitates a bit, then nods. 1"I agree. Perhaps the Inquisitor's transmissions include hints at what kind of foe we may face. Naturally, this may greatly affect out wargear." [21:20] * +Mira_Atella gives a look at each of them, considering for a moment, "Those first two are usually the issue." [21:21] <+Mira_Atella> "Yes, we shouldn't run out half-cocked." [21:22] <+Mira_Atella> "We've been insanely lucky in the past, we can't depend on that." [21:22] * +Lazerus_Grim nods to them both. 1"Then we shall wait for the information. Is there any preparation we can do without it?" [21:23] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Elana agreed with you, Mira)) [21:23] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((right?)) [21:23] <+Grendel> "Check the data and store it ourselves." [21:23] <+Mira_Atella> (( I know heh )) [21:23] <+Mira_Atella> (( Agreed with her back )) [21:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Grendel's back!)) [21:24] <+Grendel> !dhroll 99 [21:24] <+Servitor> Grendel: 46 Success by 5 degrees! [21:24] <+Sister_Elana> ((XD)) [21:24] <@BradGM> ((heh, maybe we'll see it like my other DH players; running away form battle and not fighting at all; just pointintg their guns and yellign and throwing still pinned grenades)) [21:24] <+Sister_Elana> "Perhaps we could arrange for transport, though I admit I am at a loss of whom to ask within these halls ..." [21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((not fun enough for my tastes. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!.... i mean....)) [21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> !dhroll 62 [21:25] <+Servitor> Lazerus_Grim: 3 Success by 5 degrees! [21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Forbidden Lore (Inquisition) roll, 5 DoS)) [21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((do i know who to contact about travel?)) [21:25] <@BradGM> ((really funny as usually it's more of a combat group, and the tech-priest is still failling all of his rolls)) [21:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( and blowing us the hell up )) [21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sounds like our tech priest :P)) [21:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( Where's Sparks when you need him :P )) [21:26] <+Grendel> ((Its a form of initiation!)) [21:26] <@BradGM> **Lazerus, you would rememeber and know that the inqusition have a small fleet of small shuttle crafts at the Tricorn and also have a supposedly secret fleet of ships, apart from the well known black Ships.** [21:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( Restart that game, Brad.. for serious. Or do another one where I can play him lol )) [21:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( Just.. not at 9am on Sunday. I'll never forgive any of you for that ;) )) [21:27] <@BradGM> ((they also desecrated a crypt bystealing some pendant, and using a bone and old robes to make a torch; oh and stole a candle from a chapel to lid said torch)) [21:27] <@BradGM> ((I dunno, I only got Thursday)) [21:28] <@BradGM> ((and it's more of a reactive game, so it's action and doing things, anything)) [21:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'll live )) [21:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( Sparks was awesome at doing things.. he fixed a crashing ship.. three times lol )) [21:28] <+Lazerus_Grim> (( that fleet, can we have one fly us to Sisk?)) [21:28] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((one ship, not one fleet)) [21:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( are we heading back to the flat to do prep? )) [21:29] <@BradGM> ((You only recall seeing shuttles crafts there, but it should be a good place to start to get a passage arranged there)) [21:30] <+Mira_Atella> (( we have robots and comms and crap, why should we go all the way there lol )) [21:30] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I have some acquisitions to make with Bradon, and I think I know where to go to get us passage." [21:30] * +Mira_Atella ponders for a moment, "I'll go with you. I'd like to see the tiny man myself." [21:31] <+Grendel> !dhroll 39 [21:31] <+Servitor> Grendel: 23 Success by 1 degree! [21:31] * +Mira_Atella hooks her arm in with Grim's as they walk, "I need something special from him." [21:32] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Grim spazzes out and kills Mira "Who are you, and where's my cellmate?)) [21:32] <+Sister_Elana> ((lol)) [21:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [21:33] * +Sister_Elana eyes the two as they walk off. 1"Very well ..." [21:33] <@BradGM> ((Aaaand enters the chaperone.)) [21:33] * +Lazerus_Grim gives the rest of the team a lot, assuming they've all noted Mira's newfound social graces, and heads off down the hall, heading to see their mutual friend. [21:34] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((a look*)) [21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( Do they even have viagra in DH? I mean, not like she's gonna jump his bones, he's ancient, but just curious lol )) [21:35] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((stop, you'll make me laugh in the middle of this lecture)) [21:35] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((though for the record, we're both sterile....)) [21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( You shouldn't have said that, now we have a goal )) [21:36] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((so we're off to see Bradon, Grendel's going to get data on the world? Elana?)) [21:36] <@BradGM> ((there's a drug for everythign in the future.)) [21:37] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((he's only 50, not THAT old)) [21:37] <@BradGM> ((if they made Juvenat, they made some sort of super inject-at-will erectile stimulant)) [21:39] <+Sister_Elana> ((you people are crazy :'D)) [21:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( If it lasts over 4 hours... )) [21:39] <+Sister_Elana> ((is there any way I can make contact with an Ecclesiarchy outpost in the region? the planet has to have churches, right? this is something I'd like to look up for potential contacts)) [21:43] <+Mira_Atella> (( ruh roh )) [21:44] <@BradGM> ((so Elana, doing something?)) [21:46] <+Sister_Elana> ((as above, I'd try to find my way to a librarium of sorts to gain insight into Ecclesiarchal structures and personnel on that world)) [21:48] <@BradGM> **Lazerus and Mira arrives at Bradon's** [21:49] <@BradGM> **Elana, you find the Iquisitorial Librarium. roll search or Inquiry +10** [21:50] <@BradGM> **The Counter is empty at the Munitorium.** [21:50] <+Sister_Elana> !dhroll 44 [21:50] <+Servitor> Sister_Elana: 35 Success by 0 degrees! [21:50] <+Sister_Elana> ((whew - and that was Search +10)) [21:50] * +Lazerus_Grim looks around, thinking this quite odd.1 "Do you see a bell?" [21:51] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((and brb)) [21:53] <+Sister_Elana> ((you make it sound like you want to take a room in some sleazy motel :P)) [21:53] <@BradGM> **You find that the head of the Ecclesiarchy on the world is Cardinal Pheloquin LVI, and that most of the world follows the "Scintillan" way of worhsip, with only limited missionary works in the more distants reagions of the planet.** [21:54] <@BradGM> **There is no bell, there is a button** [21:55] <+Sister_Elana> ((pressing it gives a bell sound, I wager ... together with some steam)) [21:56] <@BradGM> ((Then bradon and his gangs all line up and arrive ssiging HI-oh, Hi-oh, with ale and beer we go)) [21:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe )) [21:57] * +Sister_Elana 's facial expression hardens as she registers the apparent lack of missionary service. Thinking for a moment, she attempts to call up a basic registry of the planetery clergy, hoping to find the totals of how many Preachers and Confessors are bringing the Emperor's word to the populace. [21:57] <@BradGM> **Elana, roll common lore Ecclesiarchy -0** [21:57] <@BradGM> **Elana, roll common lore Ecclesiarchy -10** [21:59] <+Mira_Atella> (( completely random, I know.. but with the silence..

I'm not with her )) [22:01] * +Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [22:01] <@BradGM> ((no, you'Re at Bradon's)) [22:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( oh, I thought he had just walked in with friends.. so why would there be a button? )) [22:02] <+Sister_Elana> !dhroll 34 Common Lore, Ecclesiarchy attempt #2 [22:02] <+Servitor> Sister_Elana: 34 Success by 0 degrees!

[22:05] <@BradGM> ((Ah, my bad)) [22:06] <@BradGM> **Then you enter by the door as Lazerus now know how to unlock if from the outside using a serie of kncokcs and foot stomps. and enters into Munitorium D.** [22:08] * +Mira_Atella smiles at Bradon as they walk in, a much less forced looking one. [22:08] <@BradGM> **Elana, you recall Cardinal Pheloquin LVI being within the Calaxian higher ranks at the Cathedral of Illumination when you were acting as a bodyguard. You do not know why he was sned there.** [22:08] <@BradGM> Bradon "Oh Hey you two, Heh, look at that lads! Mira's already drunk!* [22:09] * +Mira_Atella quickly loses the smile, "Whoever told you about that is going to lose whichever appendage I deem worthy at the time." [22:09] <@BradGM> **The Other Squats grumply laughs and keeps on eating/drinking** [22:10] <@BradGM> Bradon "Well, that calls for a drink!" *He produces 2 tankards of Squattish stout and passed it around.** [22:11] * +Mira_Atella sighs a bit, but accepts a small amount of the beverage before passing it on. [22:11] * +Sister_Elana wonders at the transfer, pondering whether it may have been meant as a challenge for the Cardinal, or even a personal request to better bring the Light of the Emperor to the masses. Not yet privy to the higher politics of the Ecclesiarchy and the Orders Militant, the likely explanation that the Cardinal was banished by his rivals does not occur to her. [22:12] <@BradGM> Bradon "So, what's happening? Lazerus is back, so I guess you're here to get something?" [22:12] <+Sister_Elana> (( any info on the structure of the clergy as a whole - does the planet have a large number of priests, average, or few? )) [22:12] * +Mira_Atella nods to Bradon, "I've been looking for these blades.. They have the nickname emperor's whisper." [22:14] <@BradGM> Bradon? "That crap?" [22:14] * +Mira_Atella peers curiously at him, "You have a better suggestion?" [22:14] <@BradGM> Bradon "please they only made a letter openner 5 times as big and they sharpen it and ornement it! We got way better than that...bureaucratic tool" [22:15] <+Mira_Atella> "Well I certainly don't want any of the fancy bits. Too easy to tell what was used with those ornamentations." [22:16] <@BradGM> Bradon "So you'll need one of them? Mono I suppose?" [22:16] <+Mira_Atella> "Actually.. 6. And yes." [22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "I'll be paying you outright for these as well. I'd like to get used to something." [22:19] <@BradGM> ((they are how many?)) [22:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( oh good, the Carl's Jr is open till midnight.. I was seriously going to ditch you all to get my burger :P )) [22:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( Um.. 150? )) [22:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( Each, I think. )) [22:20] <+Sister_Elana> (( the Whispers, that is )) [22:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yes.. not the burger )) [22:20] <+Sister_Elana> (( not counting the mono upgrades )) [22:21] <+Mira_Atella> (( Right, that's another 40 each )) [22:21] <@BradGM> ((so 190 each)) [22:22] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yessir )) [22:24] <@BradGM> ((so 1140 Thrones)) [22:24] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yep )) [22:24] * +Mira_Atella hands the thrones to Bradon. [22:26] <+Sister_Elana> ((*imagines Mira dragging a huge sack of coins through the Tricorne*)) [22:29] <@BradGM> **Bradon goes onto a carry-person and goes into the Munitorium; He returns some minutes later with 6 well sharped over sized letter openers** [22:30] <@BradGM> Bradon "Here you got, that'll cut into the gut!** [22:30] <+Sister_Elana> ((now he starts to rhyme :P)) [22:30] <+Mira_Atella> "Or a throat.." [22:31] <+Sister_Elana> ((rofl, I'm sure he's scamming Mira bigtime now, selling her letter openers for the price of a car)) [22:31] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe )) [22:31] <+Mira_Atella> (( but no, because he likes her! Not so much Elana ;) )) [22:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( Lost a weapon you didn't pay for.. you're totally in the shit with him lol )) [22:32] <+Sister_Elana> (("phhhrrtt... iPad, you don't need that fancy toy, you want the big stuff, right? *sells her a Commodore C64 for the same price*")) [22:33] <+Mira_Atella> (( Already have one, but thanks! )) [22:33] <+Sister_Elana> ((hey, it was for the cause ... and the gun didn't work anyways :P)) [22:33] <+Mira_Atella> (( I still turn it on once in a while to play this adventurer text game that required the casette player deal heh )) [22:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( and now.. I feel old haha )) [22:35] <+Sister_Elana> (( relatives gifted me one a few years back .. I already had a real PC but damn was it fun )) [22:36] <@BradGM> ((Ok, well, Lazerus is not coming back..)) [22:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( my great aunt gave mine to me because she couldn't even figure out how to turn it on, and I was like 4 )) [22:37] * +Mira_Atella waits for Lazerus to do his paperwork with Bradon, thanks the tiny man, and leads the old man back to the flat. [22:37] <+Sister_Elana> ((dammit :) [22:37] <@BradGM> ((That works as well)) [22:38] * +Grendel returns to the flat as well, his steps heavy and plodding as he makes his way to the dormitory. [22:38] * +Mira_Atella looks to Elana as they come back in, "Any luck?" [22:39] * +Sister_Elana continued to search the ancient databanks for some time, also digging after clergy numbers to gain insight into the population's spirituality, before returning to the dormitory. [22:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( People know the danger of disappearing mid-game, right Elana? heh )) [22:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( Brad is a mean, mean man. )) [22:39] <+Sister_Elana> (( lol )) [22:39] <@BradGM> ((please..)) [22:40] <@BradGM> ((BRB)) [22:40] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol you're not.. don't worry. Probably the most well-tempered GM I've ever dealt with )) [22:40] <+Sister_Elana> (( everyone aim for Bradon's head now! )) [22:40] <+Mira_Atella> (( pay attention woman, we're at the apartment trying to talk to you ;) )) [22:42] <+Sister_Elana> "Some"6, the Sister retorts, not even chastising the assassin for presuming that 'luck', and not fate or the Emperor's will had anything to do with it. 1"I gathered information on the Ecclesiarchal presence on the target world - it might prove useful for assessing the population or even requesting local support. How about your own journey, did you find what you were looking for?" [22:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [22:43] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod, showing the six knives to her, their ornamentation looking to have been removed entirely [22:43] <+Mira_Atella> "Simple, but effective." [22:44] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol probably should have thought about getting the straps or whatnot to hold them )) [22:44] * +Grendel finds a comfortable spot to stand in the room as the optical mechadendrite looks around while Grendel speaks. "There was plenty of data o nthe planet, I am just not sure how helpful it is. It is a rather primitive planet, though the system boasts a refueling depot for Battlefleet Calixix." [22:45] <+Mira_Atella> "Calixis? Gee.. that sounds familiar." [22:45] * +Grendel continues speaking as the optical mechadendrite zooms in on the blades. "There are about 30,000,000 inhabitants scattered in cities. There are quite a few independent entities, rather than a single ruler." [22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "That could be a good advantage if we get in trouble." [22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "Always easier to pit forces against one another and slip through, than to fight both, or many." [22:47] * +Mira_Atella slips the knives in to her bag. [22:48] <+Mira_Atella> "Sort of a sleight of hand trick. Misdirection." [22:48] <+Mira_Atella> (( I totally didn't watch both of the newer Sherlock Holmes movies yesterday )) [22:49] <@BradGM> ((I watched Lucky Luke 2009 movie 2 days ago)) [22:50] <+Grendel> ((BBC's Sherlock is better :) )) [22:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm definitely playing her different. She's more confrontational now, less about the stealth )) [22:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( I've been meaning to watch that )) [22:51] <+Mira_Atella> (( Didn't even get contortionist for her heh )) [22:51] <@BradGM> ((Bending your leg behind yur head is a ncie icebreaker)) [22:51] <+Grendel> Fanquin is the capital city, and the PDF is 15,000 strong, though gunpowder weaponry. Ecclesiarchial presence is standard, while Mechanicus presence is minimal." [22:52] <+Grendel> ((Lazarus will be crushed)) [22:52] <+Mira_Atella> (( Depends on what you're wearing. Could be very uncomfortable if you have camel toe )) [22:52] <+Mira_Atella> (( oh wait.. Laz is gone, making bad jokes to make him laugh out loud is no longer needed :P )) [22:53] * Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #Shadowrun [22:53] <+Mira_Atella> "Will your mechadendrites stick out badly while we're there? Like.. will people get suspicious?" [22:54] * +Sister_Elana steps closer, moderately intrigued by Mira's newest acquisition. Before she can ask any questions, her focus switches to Grendel as the latter starts to divulge his findings. 1"Gunpowder... that primitive?" [22:54] <+Grendel> "It is a feudal world." [22:54] <+Mira_Atella> "So yes, on both accounts" [22:55] <+Grendel> "I am sure I will stand out as a Emissary of the Omnissiah, but it should not be a problem." [22:55] <+Mira_Atella> "Right, they'd be too afraid to say anything, but standing out will possibly help." [22:55] * BradGM sets mode: +v Lazerus_Grim [22:56] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sorry about that, guys, internet here sucks)) [22:56] <@BradGM> ((Wow Mira, you talk of someone and they show up!)) [22:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( Laz, I made a comment that would have made you piss off whichever professor was there, but you missed it :P )) [22:56] <+Sister_Elana> "Suggestions for our approach, then? Will we renounce the masks and merely hide our purpose, or would it even make sense trying to disguise our affiliations?" [22:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( I know, and it seems the worse things I say, the faster they arrive )) [22:57] <+Sister_Elana> ((wb!)) [22:57] * +Mira_Atella refers to Grendel, "You probably know that better." [22:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( You didn't miss a ton, I RP'd us getting all our stuff and coming back to the apartment, so we're all here now discussing things we learned )) [22:59] * +Grendel shrugs. "There are imperial presences there. I doubt we need to hide who..perhaps just why." [22:59] * +Mira_Atella nods. [22:59] <+Mira_Atella> "That will make things a lot easier." [23:00] <+Mira_Atella> "I'm not sure we need a real plan for arrival then either." [23:00] <+Sister_Elana> "I agree, I would not want to rely on ... gunpowder weaponry should we truly encounter one of these alleged xenos." [23:00] <+Mira_Atella> "I did a lot of studying of Xenos while I was gone.. should come in handy if they are there." [23:01] <+Grendel> "Perhaps we will learn more when additional data is provided by the Inquisitor's Agents." [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> "I also, quite painstakingly, learned how to read the language." [23:01] * +Mira_Atella looks a bit pained about that, frowning for a moment. [23:01] * +Sister_Elana arches her brows at the comment. 1"I suppose a certain degree of knowledge of the enemy could be advantageous, as long as we retain spiritual purity." [23:02] * +Mira_Atella doesn't respond, giving nothing more than a glance at Elana, nodding slightly. [23:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( she already has to deal with a witch, no reason to tell her that another team member is a non-believer heh )) [23:04] <+Sister_Elana> (( heretics, all of you! sheesh ... one is a witch, one is a blasphemer and one is a heathen )) [23:04] <+Sister_Elana> (( how are my Litanies even supposed to work on you once I buy them )) [23:04] <+Grendel> ((now now, no need to call yourself a heathen. I'm sure you can get better)) [23:04] <+Mira_Atella> (( I thought Mira was both a blasphemer and a heathen lol )) [23:05] * +Grendel consults his chronometer. "Have we ascertained how we are to travel to Sisk?" [23:05] <+Sister_Elana> (( I need to find one unique insulting term for each of you, and Grendel at least believes in something, so it fits :P )) [23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( there a shot for it? )) [23:05] <+Sister_Elana> (( yeah, I got it right here ... *pats holster* )) [23:05] <+Mira_Atella> "I think we should take normal transport. If we aren't trying to be sneaky, might as well be as normal as possible." [23:07] <+Sister_Elana> "Without the need for secrecy, there would be the question of whether to take a civilian transport or attempt to acquire passage on a Navy vessel. Needless to say, the former would involve set schedules and potential detours." [23:07] * +Mira_Atella gives another look to Elana, "I'd suggest some clothing more form fitting. You can take the armor, but we'll already have the Tech Priest sticking out, and it is likely more suiting." [23:08] <+Mira_Atella> "Really, I think with this, the more normal, the better." [23:10] * +Mira_Atella looks almost excited for a moment, "Oh, we should dye your hair again too! They're not as used to blondes, right?" [23:11] <+Sister_Elana> "Form fitting?"6, the actually black-haired (P) Sister retorts sceptically. 1"What do you have in mind? Note that my combat capabilities would suffer noticeably if I do not have access to my equipment." [23:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm thinking of like.. 3rd world countries, how they are so enraptured by blondes )) [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yes, I meant to dye it blonde heh )) [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> "I was thinking more of our arrival." [23:12] <+Sister_Elana> ((lol)) [23:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( Have to do her eyebrows too, that can burn :P )) [23:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( did everyone else die on us? )) [23:13] <@BradGM> ((NO, JUST FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF rp)) [23:14] <@BradGM> ((sorry caps)) [23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [23:14] <+Sister_Elana> "That would still place us at a disadvantage were we required to switch - not to mention transportation of our equipment. I have you know that my armaments have grown somewhat in both size and weight." [23:14] <+Mira_Atella> "I can only imagine how much larger your chest has gotten." [23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( You set yourself up for that. )) [23:15] * +Grendel listens quietly, before saying his piece. "Perhaps this can wait until we have the data from the other Agents." [23:15] <+Sister_Elana> (( grrrahhh :P )) [23:16] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course. No plan can be formed without proper data unless it is intended to fail." [23:16] <+Mira_Atella> "Or a suicide mission, which I think we've done a few times already." [23:17] * +Sister_Elana shrugs, the servos of her armour whirring slightly in unison with the movement of her arms. 1"I do not yet intend to die, my fate lies elsewhere." [23:17] <+Mira_Atella> "I think if any of intended to die, we'd have all failed a long time ago." She gives a somewhat warm smile to the Sister. [23:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( er.. any of us )) [23:19] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Thor: 'I do not intend to die today.' Gatekeeper: 'None do.')) [23:19] * +Sister_Elana ponders on that for a moment as if trying to find a hidden meaning behind these words, then just nods. 1"Yes, I suppose we had ample opportunity." 6A hint of humour? [23:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( I don't know why people hated that movie so much.. of the Marvel movies, it was one of the better )) [23:19] <+Sister_Elana> ((hah @ Gatekeeper)) [23:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( Zuul motherfucker )) [23:20] <+Sister_Elana> ((hmm, still haven't seen that one yet, but I enjoyed the Iron Man ones)) [23:20] <+Sister_Elana> ((lol)) [23:21] <+Mira_Atella> (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Mqz1QugRg )) [23:22] * +Grendel considers the data he retrieved earlier. "There is one possible anamoly." [23:22] <+Sister_Elana> "Pray tell." [23:23] <+Grendel> "There is a planet classified as Forbidden in the system." [23:24] <+Mira_Atella> "Do we have information on it, or is that what we're waiting for?" [23:26] <+Sister_Elana> "Classified by whom?"6, the Sister asks immediately. 1"I have a feeling it might be quite relevant to our investigation, perhaps even to that of Inquisitor Jex." [23:26] * +Grendel shrugs slightly with his mechadendrites. "I was unable to access the data reliably. I assume that if it is pertinent, it will be in the data provided by the Inquisitor." [23:27] <+Mira_Atella> "I suppose we just need to wait then." [23:28] <+Lazerus_Grim> "We're you blocked from accessing the data? Would it be possible to get it ourselves?" [23:28] <+Grendel> "Perhaps." [23:30] <@BradGM> ((And let's stop it here guys for tonight)) [23:30] <+Grendel> "Retrieving the data would be difficult. Retrieving it without alerting anyone would be more so." [23:30] <+Sister_Elana> ((aww)) [23:30] * Ribonizer (hehe@bas4-hull20-1176171118.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Signed off) [23:30] <@BradGM> ((yeah arrived alte twice this week in 2 days, so let's not try to be late Friday..))
