During the wait until departure, Grendel kept tabs on the ins and out of the station, observing that the Jewel of Malfi, the Ambition-class cruiser owned by Horatio Houral, Patriarch of the Houral family, left the station 3 days before Blitz’s scheduled departure. [20:20] <@BradGM> Finally boarding the cruiser, Jon had his grenades seized, locked out of reach in the ship’s munitorium, before Mockingbird found itself into a semi-private quarters on Deck 5. Few words were exchanged before Grendel detected a hidden microphone, which was quickly deactivated and reactivated, as a way to make things as normal and unsuspicious as possible. [20:21] <@BradGM> The Magos then requested an escort to the Enginarum, witnessing the Rite of Activation of the most ancient and holy of plasma drive he ever saw or even read about, before exchanging a few word by the almost comical Explorator. Lyra followed her training routine in full combat attire, tiring one of her escorts, which only brought a desire for a challenge by the others. [20:21] <@BradGM> Jon mingled with the crew at the mess hall, learning that Blitz is chasing after a Jewel the size of a planet (or so the crewmen claim), and that numerous Rogue Traders are also after this valuable treasure, resulting at least a dead of a Peer of the Imperium. [20:21] <@BradGM> Grendel and Jon then returned to their quarters, where Mira was plunged into Quintan’s notes, trying to get a bearing of Footfall, the first (or last) civilized station standing a few warp jumps over the Maw at the outer edge of the Imperium, where His authority is recognised by whoever can enforce it, by will or by strength.+++ [20:21] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:22] <@BradGM> **Lyra, roll toughness** [20:22]  !dhroll 46 [20:22]  Lyra_: 7 Success by 3 degrees!

[20:33] * Mira_Atella is still looking at her slate, but listening. [20:35]  "It seems the captain is on some treature hunt, for a jewel the siez of a planet. He supposedly spoke with Witches on Footfall in search of a pearl. He not the only one, there appears to be other rogue traders after the same treaures, even killing one bu the name of Feckward" [20:36]  "Largely unuseful information, sadly" [20:37]  "It seems like something the other would be looking for as well." [20:39]  "If we secure other transportation once we reach Footfall, it won't matter. If we stay here, that's another story with possibly bigger issues." All spoken in "code" of course.

[20:54] <Jon_Wake> Once Grendel was up, Jon went to get the attention of the merc "Hey, what's going on!" [20:54] * Mira_Atella looks around a bit, putting her slate in her bag but not standing up yet. "What now.." [20:55] <@BradGM> **Yes, Grendel, Jon and Mira also have red flashing lgiths and vox orders in thier quarters; everyone can hear/see/is in the way of voidmen running left and right to get to their post** [20:55] * Grendel looks for a dataport to interrogate the machine spirits. [20:56] <@BradGM> **there is one** [20:56] <@BradGM> **Unfortunately, you do not have sacred autorisation to commute with the ship's machine spirit** [20:57] <Jon_Wake> ((What a tease)) [20:58] * Grendel turns to Mira. "You should find out what is going on." [20:58] * Mira_Atella switches to her bead @@ Lyra, try not to get involved but keep your ears open on your way back. Unless we have to get involved, anonymity is still our goal or our target will know we're coming @@ [20:58] <@BradGM> **You can roll decieve-10 to try and fake your way in, or security-40 to hack your way in** [20:59] <@BradGM> **Lyra, roll awanress visual +20** [20:59] <Mira_Atella> "We'll find out, but like I said.. our goal is to not have it known we're even on this ship."

[21:00] * Grendel pulls away from the dataport. [21:01] * Mira_Atella swings her legs around to sit on the edge of the bunk, watching anything outside their door. [21:01] <@BradGM> **Lyra, as you're husly escorted back to your quarters, you can see across the semi-open prow section a lot of ratings pulling chains and ropes, brining up a large, 60 meters long torpedo from the magasine.** [21:02] <@BradGM> **You also cross teams of mercs and armed armsmen at what appears to be chokepoints and critical location acorss the sections you walk in.** [21:02] <Lyra_> "Who are you worried about being boarded by?" [21:02] <@BradGM> **You're not much of the voider, but if soemone boards the ship theY'll have a solid fight on them** [21:03] * Elttaes (Elttaes@685.sub-15-855-285.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun [21:03] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Elttaes [21:04] <@BradGM> snarky merc "dunno yet...and don't you worry about that now..besides, 'pretty sure you'll be more than a amtch to pretty much anything huh?"

[21:07] <@BradGM> ((yeah you can roll it)) [21:07] <Grendel> ((And I still think my theory holds water.

[21:07] <Grendel> ((Tactica Imperialis)) [21:10] <@BradGM> **It is not standard procedure to set up teams arond the ship. Still if the order was given, in case of a possible boarding action, then they are following textbook positioning and preparation.** [21:10] <Grendel> "Standard tactics, though usually only given when boarding is expected." [21:10] <@BradGM> ((in other word, it's a precautinary move rather than an automatism)) [21:11] <Jon_Wake> ((I think they do have automated loaders, but they're restricted to certain leman russes and Space Marine vehicles)) [21:11] <Jon_Wake> ((Because archiotech)) [21:13] <Grendel> ((well, I meant ships. Think of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of people that could be int he guard instead of hand loading naval weaponry)) [21:13] <Mira_Atella> "We should do the same then. Anything you weren't required to hand over on boarding, get ready. They look like they have it covered, or they likely wouldn't still have this ship, but no use being unprepared ourselves. Just don't engage unless required." She grabs her rifle and begins to slide it together. [21:13] <@BradGM> ((some ships have, but it's mostly all hand loaded, so bunch of guys with chains pulling stuff and forcing to loads giant shells into giant guns)) [21:13] * Grendel checks his weaponry and considers the data port again. [21:14] <@BradGM> **It's still there Grendel** [21:15] <Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [21:15] * Jon_Wake takes out his Combat Shotgun and loads it up. He also keeps the riot sheild out, leaning it on the nearby wall [21:15] <Mira_Atella> (( Do ports get up and wander? :P )) [21:15] <Grendel> ((only ones from the Dark Mechanicus)) [21:15] * Mira_Atella keeps her position on the bunk for more stability.

[21:18] <@BradGM> **the lights are still spinning red; the alarm is not off.** [21:18] <@BradGM> **It is silent as least, leaving the red lgiths to assault your vision** [21:19] * Jon_Wake drums on is shotgun, getting antsy "I don't like waiting like this" [21:20] <Lyra_> "I'm used to it." [21:20] <Mira_Atella> "Given the rest of the specs we have on the ship, we can hopefully fill in more of a map just with a piece of it." [21:20] * Grendel nods and starts to process the data while he waits. [21:20] <Grendel> ((And then the party was wiped out by a boarding torpedo. The End.))

[21:34] <Mira_Atella> (( I don't like not knowing what these rolls are...

[21:35] <@BradGM> **Fire in cargo hold 4! Fire teams move in!" [21:35] * Mira_Atella stays seated to keep from being knocked around.

Unless someone with more large scale tactical experience has an idea, of course." [21:39] <@BradGM> **Boarders on deck 12! Security move in Throne dammit!"

[22:11] <@BradGM> ((somewhere on the ship, little Sparks is jumping for joy)) [22:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe )) [22:13] <@BradGM> **A few hours alter, Havoc comes around "Ah, good to see you're all fine. I hope this little incident didn't cause you any trouble?" [22:13] * +Grendel lets the flesh deal with the flesh. [22:14] <+Mira_Atella> "Incident? I was reading." Is laying back on the bunk again with her slate. [22:16] <@BradGM> **He smiles "Ah yes, of course. Well, we should be at Footfall in a week's travel; we will travel via the four station of passage, where we will return to real space to allow our Navigator to calibrate our travel in the Maw. It would be bad form to end up in the Screaming Vortex.**" [22:18] * +Grendel activates the humanity protocols and nods his head. [22:18] <+Mira_Atella> "Thank you for checking on us and letting us know." [22:20] <@BradGM> Havoc "It is only natural. If you require something else, please let me know; but keep in mind I have...limited influence on our Explorator friend. I do not have to point out how the Mechanicus is...jealous of thier knowledge?" [22:22] <+Grendel> "Of course." [22:23] <+Grendel> "He should endeavor to become closer to the Omnissiah. That will purge such emotions." [22:25] <@BradGM> Havoc "Yes well, he had an..experience. In a way. I'm afraid he enjoyed it too much to not enjoy it anymore. Still, perhaps give him some time, pet him in the sense of the hair, as we say, it might proove useful." [22:26] * +Grendel tries to figure out how to respond to that and simply nods. Eventually. Once. [22:27] <@BradGM> **Havoc seems hesitant, but nods back and leave.** [22:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( Explorator with a god-complex, sheesh. )) [22:28] <+Grendel> ((Grendel will have no problem bringing him closer to the Omnissiah!)) [22:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( Are there logs from the RT game? Would be funny to read again )) [22:31] <@BradGM> ((I might have lost them in the warp of my old drive..I only started keeping them this cmapaign.)) [22:31] <@BradGM> ((but yeah- a god envoy fomr the omnissiah form a planet of primitive humans who lived in the many, many wreck of ships and shuttles.)) [22:31] <+Mira_Atella> (( hmm I'll have to check my old hard drive and see if they are there. Should be )) [22:32] <+Grendel> "And our plan is still to arrive at Footfall?" [22:33] <+Mira_Atella> "I don't think it's possible to change ships before. And really, after this, I think we're in a good spot for now." [22:33] <@BradGM> ((nice, do tlel me if you got'em)) [22:36] * +Grendel nods again. Once. [22:37] <@BradGM> ((such social skills, craaaazy)) [22:37] <+Grendel> "Should I send out my servo skull to examine the ship?" [22:38] <+Mira_Atella> "Lyra seems to be growing accustomed and has met some of the crew, could you send it with her? Would be a lot less conspicuous." [22:39] <+Grendel> "Very well." [22:39] <+Mira_Atella> "Up for another run?" She smiles at Lyra. [22:40] <+Grendel> ((uh oh.)) [22:40] <+Grendel> ((I wrote something down on my sheet, now I don't know why its there)) [22:40] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol )) [22:41] <@BradGM> **Lyra's always ready.** [22:42] <+Grendel> ((badum dum)) [22:44] <@BradGM> **As time did past, Lyra calls an escort and gets a pair of mercs.** [22:44] * +Grendel sends the servoskull out with her, trailing along, scanning. [22:45] <@BradGM> **The snarky one is there, wearing a bandage over his right arm and visisibly more tired than when he dropped her off. "Let,s keep the jog to a minumum all right? I got my dose of exercive for the day..."** [22:49] <@BradGM> **Grendel roll awanress visual via your servo-skull.** [22:49] <@BradGM> **also, roll tech-use vs. servitors.** [22:51] <+Grendel> !dhroll 75 (awareness)) [22:51] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 76 Failure by 0 degrees!

Any article I want to read that is put on their site, has a ton of other articles related that I end up losing lots of time reading all of )) [22:56] <@BradGM> **Grendel, you manage to get a good layout of the front port and prow section of the ship, at least 7 deck deep out of 20. You also 'feel' some interference with your servo-skull, as someone wanted to take control over it, but your own dominance over it made it only suffer a slight flutter.** [22:56] <@BradGM> ((Jon's still around?)) [22:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( Think so... *poke* )) [22:56] <+Grendel> ((Gasp! Someone tried to touch my skull!)) [22:57] * +Grendel keeps the skull running as long as possible while Lyra runs, making notes and storing the data in his cortex implants. [22:58] <@BradGM> **roll navigation Grendel** [23:00] <+Grendel> !dhroll 58 [23:00] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 45 Success by 1 degree!

[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( Attack Jon! )) [23:05] <+Jon_Wake> ((Sorry)) [23:05] <@BradGM> ((3 mooks usddenly appear out of no where! roll to get shot in the leg!)) [23:06] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol not roll to avoid getting shot, just roll.. you're getting shot no matter )) [23:06] * +Grendel passes the data along to the other's dataslates (Those that have the good ones) and lets them know that he's done so. [23:07] * +Mira_Atella does the same with the information she's been browsing. [23:07] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm going to make a page with this, because it's too much to paste )) [23:07] <@BradGM> ((feel free to make it on the wiki)) [23:07] <+Jon_Wake> ((Problem is that there isn't much Jon can do)) [23:08] <@BradGM> ((True, I failed at the battle encounter, sorry about that..)) [23:08] <+Mira_Atella> (( Nah, I think that was the best way to go about it since it's not our ship and we were told not to touch anything, pretty much )) [23:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( And they are trying to be incognito )) [23:10] <@BradGM> ((If there's nothing else,, I'll FFWD to the Footfall arrival?)) [23:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( Works for me if no one else has something they need to do )) [23:11] <+Grendel> ((just the occasional foray into the ship to check things out..nothing too big)) [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( No drunken nights out for Mira )) [23:13] <@BradGM> **As sure as Havoc told you, the trip felt like it lasted about a week, with 5 exits/entrances from the Warp every 30-35 hours or so.** [23:16] <@BradGM> **The vox comes alive "Entering the Furibundus system.

[23:19] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to remain discreet lest Gould catch wind of us, but we also need to make a quick choice on continuing with another vessel, or finding a way to use Blitz and his ship towards our goal." [23:20] <+Grendel> "Though we have no idea where to find him?" [23:20] * +Grendel continues to talk in code. [23:21] <+Mira_Atella> "That would be part of being quick to get info." [23:22] * +Grendel nods and systematically gathers up his items. NOt that they really go far from him in the first place." [23:24] <@BradGM> **A few hours later, Havoc comes to see you "good day cycle. We're on a final apporach to Footfall. Have you decided to keep voyaging with us or not? do keep in mind, our fees went up, due to distance and risks." [23:27] * +Grendel lets the boss decide and stands there silently, the servo-skulls hovering above his head and a bit to the rear. [23:30] <+Mira_Atella> "May I ask how long you'll be in port? While I'd like to give you a clear answer right now, it's dependent on some local factors that I must speak to first." [23:30] <@BradGM> Havoc "I would say a 5 days to complete repairs, get reprovisionned a week at most." [23:32] * +Mira_Atella nods, "Very well. I'll try my best to have an answer for you in 3 days, tentatively. It won't be last minute if I can help it." [23:32] <@BradGM> Havoc "Good, the captain will be pleased." [23:34] <@BradGM> Havoc "I'll be back after the dokcing procedures are complete to escort you to the airlock."
