A quick firefight left the ganger down for the count and Gallus escaping via a window, only to be seen climbing toward the roof. [20:31] <@BradGM> Mira followed behind while Grendel and Lazerus ran for the ground access. With both assassins meeting on the roof, the outmatched acolyte did at least manage to learn a valuable piece of information before being knock unconscious; her former mercenary master was now serving under an unknown master. [20:31] <@BradGM> Grendel showed up in a nick of time to save the situation, shooting Gallus in the back a couple of times, which send the man plunging over the edge. Lazerus stayed to observe the now burning village while the Tech-Priest and Mira went to see Gallus’ body, which was shown to be some type of machined man, which could emulate human vital signs and bioenergy signatures. [20:31] <@BradGM> The Acolytes decided to get Inquisitor Jex, who slowly made his way upstairs, supported by Captain Rothers. Leaving Mira down with “Gallus”, Jex and Grendel went upstairs to gather the weakened and bruised man’s things, including an oddly shaped pistol weapon one of the pupils had.

[22:31] <@Grendel> "The assassins that greeted us on this planet are dead as well." [22:31] <@Grendel> ((br)) [22:31] <@Grendel> ((brb as well)) [22:32] <+Mira_Atella> "They were under the employ of.. Gallus, as well. This servitor may have been placed here after we encountered him there. We aren't sure." [22:34] <+Mira_Atella> "It took me a while to realize who he was as his voice and features were masked. He had hired some others to abduct me for some other purpose that didn't have to do with Maxwell." [22:34] <+Mira_Atella> "I have a feeling you might know more about that, when you're feeling more well." [22:34] <@Grendel> ((Back)) [22:37] <@BradGM> Jex "There was a holo-pict up-stairs if you'd cared to noticed. Grendel has the machine's cog-engine, so we will see with who Gallus was in communications with." [22:38] * @Grendel nods, continuing to study the forgemarks of the weaponry and armor. [22:38] * +Mira_Atella sits in the vehicle, on the chest of the Gallus-bot. "Of course." [22:40] <@BradGM> **Grendel, those are standard Imperial arms. Roll Heraldy** [22:42] <@Grendel> ((don't have it. Can I substitute common lore tech?)) [22:42] <@BradGM> ((That'll they you it's a hellgun, cadian pattern, but not who made it.)) [22:44] <@Grendel> ((k)) [22:46] <@BradGM> Jex "Nevertheless Mira, I can tell you a name you'd better remember; Darrius Haddon." [22:48] <+Mira_Atella> "The merchant?" [22:49] <@BradGM> Jex "The only name I've managed to get from the Heretic. I have yet to learn anything about Galland, despite having them talked him numerous times." [22:50] <+Mira_Atella> "The only name we had coming to Arnhut was Darius, he led us to Maxwell." [22:50] <@BradGM> Jex "Ah, no. That is Darius Mord." [22:50] <@BradGM> Jex "DArrius Haddon appears to be Gallus' employer, or at least another acomplice to whatever plot he is unfolding." [22:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( So many similar names this mission has given us heh )) [22:51] * +Mira_Atella nods. [22:51] <@BradGM> (( http://www.wobblymodelsyndrome.com/uploads/3/3/4/2/3342427/9989046_orig.jpg )) [22:51] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [22:52] * @Grendel listens as he attends the machine spirits of the advanced lasguns. [22:53] <+Mira_Atella> (( the one on the front page is funny too, considering the earlier conversation )) [22:56] <@BradGM> **It takes 30 minutes for the orks to load the back of the Trukk with loot, mostly Human and Xeno weapons and armour and other equipment. It still takes a good portion of the trukks' space, but at least it is forming a flimsy barrier between you and the orks up front.** [22:57] * @Grendel waits patiently while autorepair diagnostics take place. [23:00] <@BradGM> **Gorkok get on board with his couple of gretchins runts and yell the signal to get going.** [23:01] <@BradGM> Jex "You'd better get down from that body." [23:01] * @Grendel holds on, making sure the body doesn't float away. [23:02] <@BradGM> **Inquisitor Jex peeks up at the belt and reaches to it. The body suddenly falls onto the bed of the trukk.** [23:02] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh she laid it down and sat on it.. not sure it's going anywhere )) [23:03] <@BradGM> ((ah ok)) [23:03] * +Mira_Atella lands back on the body as it falls, letting out a small grunt. [23:04] <@Grendel> "More Xenos technology." [23:04] <@BradGM> ((just taht it is floating a meter above the bed of the trukk)) [23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( eh.. not too far, she'll live, she's been through worse today lol )) [23:05] <@Grendel> ((Mira's riding a dead body...necropheliac!)) [23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( :P )) [23:06] * @Grendel doesn't attempt to search out the machine spirit of the Ork's trukk as he makes sure to hold on tightly, remembering the ride before. [23:06] <+Mira_Atella> "Once the Inquisition has studied it, I do have a request to run past you." Uses one hand to rub her back, still holding on with the other. [23:07] <@BradGM> Jex "Request?" [23:07] <+Mira_Atella> "Regarding the device." [23:11] <@BradGM> JEx "The machined man is unlike anything I know, I do not even know if it is humanly thought and made in the Dark Age of Technology. I do not believe I, nor any of my own superiors, would allow you to keep such..device, as you call them." [23:11] <@BradGM> ((*them=it)) [23:11] * @Grendel shifts his weight. [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> "As my request hasn't been made, keeping it would be an assumption. That is why I said I'd wait until after they were done, of course, to make my request." [23:15] <@BradGM> Jex "We do have some time, do make your request now, if you'd like." [23:15] <@Grendel> "What are our next steps? Simply investigating the cog engine and falseman?" [23:17] <+Mira_Atella> "I'll refrain if I may, until any research is done. It could change, or nullify the purpose I seek entirely." [23:18] * @Ribonizer (~hehe@69.157.190.63) Quit (Quit: Chichin ga puipui) [23:21] <@BradGM> Jex "First we need to arrest the local accomplices and judge them. Then we should also retunr to sicntilla, and report back our findings. At the very least we should reach the Naval station in the system. Astropaths should be present.** [23:22] <@Grendel> "The Duke of Maxwell then?" [23:24] <@BradGM> Jex "He seems the most prominent accomplice. Gallus' boasting is an incredible source of infomration." [23:25] <@Grendel> "The others that we have found seem to be dead now." [23:25] <+Mira_Atella> "Assuming Gallus knew what was happening here. This.." Taps the body, "Said it had a new master." [23:27] <@BradGM> Jex "So either a false lead or a fact." [23:28] <@Grendel> "Or perhaps it was talking about the real Gallus being its master." [23:28] <+Mira_Atella> "We do know this isn't the same Gallus we met in Arnhut." [23:31] <@BradGM> Jex "We cannot study anything in this backwater feudal planet." [23:32] <@Grendel> "Agreed." [23:33] <+Mira_Atella> "No. And while I think our actions are going to leave a lot of civil unrest in Maxwell once the Duke is removed, taking the time to settle it could be costly." [23:34] <@BradGM> Jex "So we should only tke care of the Duke and let the local rabble over the holes to fill?" [23:35] <@Grendel> "Unless you wish to do more? A word from the Inquisition on a successor may prevent any such irregularities, though I cannot imagine any tithes from this planet that may be impacted." [23:38] <@BradGM> Jex "There were talks of the leadership being severed soon. I do not know what Gallus had in mind, but it is not like we can simply analyse this false man." [23:38] <+Mira_Atella> "Those gathered at the masquerade would all have been happy to take the position, though for greed, and not service." [23:40] <@BradGM> Jex "Masquerade? [23:40] <+Mira_Atella> "Oh, right.. There was a masquerade, all of the nobility were there. The orks had been hired to.. crash it. They could likely tell you more what the exact job was." [23:41] <@BradGM> Jex "What? And what have you done concerning this?" [23:42] <+Mira_Atella> "That was when I managed to get the orks to turn on Gallus, informing them that he would kill them as soon as their part was done. They led us to where we found out, and gave us the distraction to get in unseen." [23:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( *to where we found you )) [23:42] <@BradGM> Jex "Ah." [23:42] <@BradGM> Jex "Good." [23:43] <@BradGM> Jex "Then we take care of the Duke and his follwoers, then proceed off world, back to the Tricorn." [23:43] <@BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
