[20:37] <@Braddoc> Gerenel made his way toward the Halls of the Mechanicus marvelling almost with jealousy at the relics of the past the tech-adepts were blessed to study. Jon arrived in time to see the scoudrel being chased by some local thugs and promptly engaged in battle, getting shot in the leg in the process but somehow managing to secure a rendez-vous for passage toward the Koronus Expanse. [20:37] <@Braddoc> Meanwhile Lyra and Mira did a partial scan of the gold-armoured cruiser and spotted a curious snooper passing himself as a worker. Following him as he leaves his post, he was tracked to a shuttle dock where he flew toward a private asteroid apartment, belonging to the Houral Family, rich merchants from Malfi. [20:37] <@Braddoc> Mira kept shadowing the spy while Lyra returned to the quarters, helping Jon to get patched up, well beyond what the Judge could do, before Grendel intervened. [20:37] <@Braddoc> The Magos also analyse the cruiser’s scan, allowing some information to be known about the Tyrant-class vessel, continuing his mingling with his own ‘kind’.+++ [20:37] <@Braddoc> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:39]  ((10 wounds incase you didn't see the mail, Jon)) [20:40] * Mira_Atella is back near the ship, watching the second "spy" via her magnoculars.

The nobles interested in Blitz also have their own ship available. My sources did not however know of any places other than Footfall to repair ships.@@ [20:48] <@Braddoc> **What is everyone bringing to the meet?** [20:48]  hellpistols and combat knife [20:49]  ((well, unless Myra wants Grendel in something else, standard Grendel fare..armor, robe, axe)) [20:49] <@Braddoc> ((Lyra: any armour?))

[20:52] * Braddoc is now known as BradGM [20:52]  **Jon brings his pistol, shock baton, concealed shotgun, knife, and his mesh vest. New pair of pants too** [20:53]  ((Actually, shoudl we take some money with us too?)) [20:54] <@BradGM> **You depart for the docks to the Ornainted Destiny; From your position Mira, you see the tohers entering the clamp and heading toward the hatch** [20:54] <@BradGM> ((Well, I suppose you got that weither in electronic or in script for added 'money pile' effect)) [20:54] * Mira_Atella slips out from her watching location and comes up quietly to the rest of the group.

[21:01] * Grendel studies the man and the guards and especially the bionic. [21:01] <Jon_Wake> "Yep" Jon answered [21:02] <@BradGM> **Looks like the standard eye bionic Grendel formw aht you can see** [21:03] <@BradGM> Man "Got to secure those weapons first, can't have you armed walking around." [21:04] <Lyra_> "My weapons are very secure where they are." [21:05] <@BradGM> Man "Let me rephrase that; I can't accept ramdom schmoes armed to the teeth seeing the Capt'n." [21:06] * Grendel remains silent. And armed. [21:07] <Mira_Atella> "Did you know you're being spied upon? At least two people I've seen so far out here. Probably more. I'd rather not be walking on to a ship with spies, and no weapons." [21:07] <@BradGM> **The man squares his stern eye on you Mira "what in the Warp you're talking about?" [21:08] <Mira_Atella> "Spies. Spying. On your ship. I can point one out if you'd like, but you should be ready for him to run, or shoot at you." [21:09] <Lyra_> "I'm ready." Lyra grins [21:10] <@BradGM> Man "And why should I believe you? Or why should you offer such information for free?" [21:11] <Mira_Atella> "Your boss didn't have us come here for nothing. We need a service from him. This is just a token of good will. Otherwise I'd not even mention it."

[21:14] <+Jon_Wake> "And they ask us to remove our weapons..." Jon seems amused by that [21:14] * +Grendel adds the name to his datastack. [21:14] <+Lyra_> "Well, it would slow me down a little." [21:15] <@BradGM> **From within the ship comes a man in his mid-thirties, with tired traits, neck-long brown hair but with a rather charming demeanour. "I shall handle this matter, if you may." [21:15] <+Grendel> ((fuck, spilled my drink, brb)) [21:16] <@BradGM> **Valérien frowns, visibly raged, but he turns on himself with am military fashion and walks back into the ship. The other man advances, slgihtly bowing in his well amde, but practical clothing. "do excuse my good firned; he takes his security duties with the upmost seriousness." [21:17] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course. Having dug a little, these spies are likely well funded and good at remaining unnoticed." [21:19] <@BradGM> Man#2 "Not as good as to evade your keen sense my dear. Do tell, who is the empoyer of those shadowy figures?" [21:20] * +Mira_Atella turns to Grendel, "If you wouldn't mind." [21:21] <+Grendel> "The appear to be based from location paid for by the House Houral of Malfi." [21:23] <@BradGM> **The man's eyebrow twitch once "Ah. House Houral. Yes, of course...would you be so kind as to..point him out so that our armed forces take him for..questionning?" [21:23] <@BradGM> Man#2 "this will surely weight in your favour with Captain Blitz." [21:24] * +Mira_Atella turns as little as she can towards the spot the man was to see it out of the corner of her eye, describing the spot as best she can without looking too obvious. [21:27] <@BradGM> **The man nods once after seeing the man and motions you inside "My tahnks for that, pelase follow me...and of course, if anyone of you reach for their weapons well..needless to say they won't live longe nough after that." [21:27] <+Mira_Atella> "Understood. Thank you." She follows after him. [21:29] * +Grendel follows along, ignoring the obvious incongruity of the man's statement. [21:31] * +Jon_Wake follows as well [21:32] <@BradGM> **The man seems to whispers in his collar as he takes you within the ship. you cross half a dozen men with light purple flak armour and lasguns going for the hatch. The ship itself seems quite ancient; there is evidence of wood ehre and there, and it appears to be well maintained. You are taken to a large room with onyl a ornade large table and equalliy expensive looking chairs with a armoured window, giving an rather saddening view of the half hidden void past the docks. "Please do sit." The man take a seat, the armsmen taking position at the door, leaving you with some degree of privacy.** [21:33] * +Lyra_ will sit near the door [21:34] <@BradGM> **The table/cahirs are stilla good 30 meters form the doors; the room itself is about 40m by 60m.** [21:34] * +Mira_Atella takes a seat across from him. [21:34] * +Grendel runs his auspex as he examines everything about the ship. [21:35] <@BradGM> **The man brings finger to his ear and stands up "Captain Blitz is coming..do hold on to..aheam..your virtue, ladies." [21:36] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow slightly, but thinks of how the ship looks, and how large the ego of the captain must be. [21:36] * +Lyra_ smirks [21:40] <@BradGM> **The doors slide open, where a shaved head man in his late 30s enters, sporting small, rounded and stylish sunglasses, a scar running under his left eye. He is wearing a naval frilly shirt, half open, showing off his muscular physique. A piar of ornated bolt pistols of obvious superior workmanship hangs from real leather holsters. He his flanked by the buzzcutman from earlier and a diminutive tech-priest with a finely crafted staff and a servo-skull sproting a single row of white hair.** [21:41] <@BradGM> **Buzzcut is armed with a bolt pistol as well, while the short tech-Priest have a las pistol in a standard mechanicus holster.** [21:41] * +Grendel examines the tech-priest closely. [21:42] <@BradGM> Man #2 "Sir, those are the people who want to secure passage to the Expanse." [21:43] <@BradGM> **Grendel; from his robes and markings, he is no mere Tech-Preist but an Explorator; those who actually travel far and wide in thier Quest for knowledge.** [21:44] <@BradGM> Blitz "Ah yes, I recognise Mustachio, good to see you survived pal." [21:44] <@BradGM> **Blitz gives you a heartly slap in the back.** [21:45] <@BradGM> Blitz "Hey there, Tech-Priest, enjoying this old thing of a ship I got huh? you people always do!" [21:47] * +Jon_Wake gives a slight grunt at getting slapped, but otherwise grits through it "Survived, and mostly in one piece" [21:47] <+Grendel> "It is noteworthy." [21:47] <@BradGM> **He then stops as he suddenly noticed Lyra and Mira "Ladies, a pleasure having such fine visitors on this rusty old vessel. I am Jeremiah Blitz, Captain of the Ordained Destiny." He takes one of your hand in turns kissing him like a gentelman, but with a savvy, sly smirk and leaks charisma.**** [21:48] <+Jon_Wake> ((by Techpriest standards, that's basicly a squee)) [21:48] <@BradGM> **Lyra/Mira Roll scrutinize or WP +20** [21:48] * +Mira_Atella grins at Grendel, but gives a look in the eyes to play nice.

Mira less so, but you're in business mode, playtime's for later (or never)** [21:53] <+Mira_Atella> (( I think they may need a vomit bucket )) [21:53] <@BradGM> ((but..open frilly shirt! All the noble ladies love that kind of cheese!)) [21:55] <@BradGM> Blitz "C'mon let's sit down..from what ol'Val and Havoc here told me, you spotted a spy observing our ship. first you beat up some gutter punk that's after me, then you discover a spy? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're too competent to waste in that lawless Expanse.." [21:56] <+Jon_Wake> ((He'd be wrong on that .<.)) [21:57] <@BradGM> Val "Or running from the law I'd say boss." [21:57] * +Grendel remains standing, his auspex working. [21:59] <+Mira_Atella> "The spies made some mistakes, but not something that would be noticed by too many others. I was already looking over your fine ship as we had come down to see who might be available to ferry us. They were looking at it almost the same way, though with different intent I'd imagine." [21:59] <+Mira_Atella> "So it was more a matter of circumstance that they were exposed." [22:00] <@BradGM> Blitz "Hmmm..beign discreed on the docks? It may well be the law!...but I'd like to know a bit more about the people I'm dealing with while that spy's being worked on hmm?" [22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."

Anything I can't be specific with, I'll try my best. While our task would have no impact on anything you are doing, privacy is something we're prudent with for our clients.

[22:08] <@BradGM> **Blitz and the man named Havoc seems to be content with that story. The diminutive tech-Priest however suddenly seems to stoppaying with his boot laces and looks at you with a questionning glare.** [22:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( goddam uppity tech priests! )) [22:09] <@BradGM> Blitz "Well, it's understandable of course, but let's start with something easy; what's your names? and why you're wanna to to the Expanse" [22:09] * +Grendel watches the Tech-Priest watch them. [22:10] <+Jon_Wake> ((We probably should have thought of a cover story first)) [22:11] <@BradGM> ((hehehe)) [22:11] <+Grendel> ((That's why Mira is the boss!)) [22:13] <+Mira_Atella> "A prior employer of mine passed away recently. He had a pet, or rather a consort, that he met in the expanse and they were indebted to one another until the end. Unable to make the trip himself, the consort asked a task of us in taking some items to his previous home with the remains of my previous employer, to honor their work together." [22:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( plans shmans )) [22:14] <+Jon_Wake> ((I was about to suggest "Treasure Hunters" but that's way more believeable)) [22:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( It's mostly true, that helps hehe )) [22:14] <+Grendel> ((now we just have to kill someone and cremate them. We're going to need Lyra's plasmagun)) [22:15] <+Lyra_> (regular, or extra-crispy?) [22:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol we could probably get enough dirt and some dna at the house to shove in a jar )) [22:15] <+Jon_Wake> ((Well done, in this case)) [22:15] <@BradGM> Havoc "And which world is that? There's quite a few out tehre." [22:16] * +Lyra_ shrugs. "Don't ask me. I'm just here to escort her. I just kill things and break people." [22:21] <+Mira_Atella> "It's a very wild jungle planet, used by some for hiding their activities. That's why we are taking some steps to make our travel a bit more quiet.

[22:23] <@BradGM> Blitz "Can't say I've heard about it. but for the right price, I mgiht be able to take you there, if you can't find a ship to take you there in Footfall." [22:24] <@BradGM> **Blitz grins at Lyra's comment and nods at mira's information; despite not seeing his eyes, you got the feeling his undressing you in his mind.** [22:24] <@BradGM> !dhroll 39 [22:24] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 93 Failure by 5 degrees!

[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "I'm Mira. You'll have to ask the others in turn, I usually call them by character traits. Shooty, Metal Man, and Rider." She waves a hand somewhat dismissively. [22:29] <@BradGM> ((Who's rider?)) [22:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol Jon.. he always takes his bike )) [22:29] <@BradGM> (oh heh)) [22:30] <@BradGM> **Blitz turns seductively toward Lyra "And would you be...Rider by any chance?"

[22:34] * +Jon_Wake gives a uncharacteristly friendly wave when Lyra points him out [22:34] <@BradGM> ((Oh magnum)) [22:35] <@BradGM> **Blitz stands up, stretching/flexing as he do so. "Of course, I'll expect you to join me for dinner, let's say tonight?"

Despite Havoc having obviously, as per Lyra's expertise, jacked up the price, the hardline storm Trooper must ahve the soul of a Hive merchant, as the price, at the end is within the average rpice for a warp-capable ship; 2500 Thrones a head.** [23:00] <+Jon_Wake> ((I think our slush funds would cover that)) [23:00] <@BradGM> Havoc "you were rihgt, your break people and shooting down my profit margin." [23:00] <@BradGM> ((quite so yes, except fi you burned 11K already..)) [23:00] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol weren't the costume ball outfits like 30k each on Sisk? )) [23:00] * +Lyra_ grins tightly. "This was me being gentle." [23:01] <@BradGM> ((No, that was the moeny Lazarus won at cards by cheating)) [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( we were just lucky Laz had used his magics to cheat at cards ;) )) [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yeah, but we spent almost all of that on the costumes )) [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( or it was 30k for 3 of them.. I know it was a lot )) [23:01] <@BradGM> ((ah ok; stil you had anoher fund account set up that you guys never used with 15k in it; you cna use that)) [23:02] <@BradGM> Havoc "We're currently restocking our vaults. We should be departing in 10 days or so." [23:04] <@BradGM> Havoc "supper is at 1800, in case you'd donT'w ant to be late..or fashionably so." [23:07] <+Mira_Atella> "If there's anything you need of us, here is the address for our lodging in town. I'd try to call ahead if you need to come by, the security is a bit.. fancy." [23:07] <@BradGM> HAvoc "Will do. wold you like me to keep this information private or would you like the good Captain to know?" [23:08] <@BradGM> **Havoc grins complisely.** [23:08] <+Mira_Atella> "Private would be best. Some of the animals patrolling can react oddly to strange men." [23:09] <+Mira_Atella> "We wouldn't want him to get mauled after all." [23:09] <+Jon_Wake> "Would be a right shame" Jon agreed [23:09] <@BradGM> Havoc "Yes, woman usually don't want that to happen." [23:10] <@BradGM> **Havoc gives Jon a weird look, but quickly dismiss it. "Now our business is concluded; we expect half upon boarding, and other half may be given when we reach destination.** [23:11] <@BradGM> ((You're borading until footfall or your 'real' destination?)) [23:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( Until Footfall is the plan, I think. His ship would stick out a bit if we're trying to be sneaky after that )) [23:12] * +Mira_Atella gives him a nod. [23:13] <@BradGM> ((Well, you're tlaking about a cruiser..in the vastness of space..hidng is easy even for a cruiser..)) [23:14] <+Grendel> ((Footfall for now I think, just to see if we can get some sort of lead)) [23:14] <@BradGM> Havoc "Allow me to escort you to the hatch." [23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( Guess we'll see then? )) [23:14] <+Mira_Atella> "Thank you." [23:15] <@BradGM> **You are taken back, under escort of course, to the hatch and back on the Docks. Nothing much seems to ahve changed, if only a small squad of those light purple coloured flak armoured soldiers with lasguns keeping a more proactive lookout.** [23:17] * +Mira_Atella walks away from the ship and back towards the house, "Well I think that went well. Good job bargaining, Shooty." [23:17] <+Lyra_> "Thanks, Stabby." [23:18] <+Jon_Wake> "...rider?" [23:18] <+Mira_Atella> "You always take your bike instead of riding with us." [23:18] * +Mira_Atella shrugs. [23:19] <@BradGM> **You see that the spy is no longer on the docks as well as you return to your quarters.** [23:20] * +Grendel keeps his auspex active on the trip back to the apartment. [23:21] <@BradGM> **You don't detect anything out of the ordinary Grendel, you do seems to notice the servitors working around a little bit more.** [23:21] <+Mira_Atella> "I'm going to activate anything I can find in this place.. Bad guys don't bother me, but captain Blitz.. I feel like I need a shower after that." [23:22] <+Jon_Wake> "I left my bike on Scintilla" Jon pointed out "Either way, if I had known him to be such a sleeze ball, I would have shot him in the back when I had the chance" [23:22] <+Grendel> "The ship was rather clean." [23:22] <+Mira_Atella> "Different kind of dirty." [23:22] <+Lyra_> "He knew when to back down." [23:23] <@BradGM> ((hehehe)) [23:23] <+Mira_Atella> "This should work out well enough. If he checks the story, he'll find nothing out of place with as far as Quinlan." [23:24] <+Grendel> "Examining the Malfi connection may be useful if they target us for purchasing travel on the ship.' [23:24] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll just grab some antiques from the house to take as the items we're returning to the planet." [23:25] * +Mira_Atella nods to Grendel, "Definitely. It worked well getting us in, but we need to make sure it doesn't bite us." [23:30] <+Jon_Wake> "If they do check our equipment, we should at least make sure to cover any discriminating iconography" JOn in partictular was thinking about his armor, as it was littered with symbols of the arbite" [23:31] <+Grendel> "The iconography on my equipment will suffice." [23:32] <BradGM> **keep in mind Havoc did say it was no invasise; it should be just a aupex scan, and if somehitng is amiss then theY,ll open up your luggage.** [23:32] <+Mira_Atella> "Nothing of mine would be questioned, save for the rosette. And that's easy to explain away. Anything you have that you aren't sure on, we can put as part of the collection we're taking that belonged to Quinlan." [23:33] * +Jon_Wake nods [23:33] <+Mira_Atella> "His records will show up as well if they're checking in to parts of our story, so it should back that up as well." [23:33] <BradGM> ((ok if we close it here guys?)) [23:34] <+Jon_Wake> ((I don't mind)) [23:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( (y))) [23:34] <BradGM> ((y?)) [23:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( clicked an icon thing and remembered they don't translate between programs very well )) [23:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( it's a thumbs up on my screen heh )) [23:34] <+Grendel> ((Fine with me)) [23:35] <+Lyra_> ((Sure)) [23:35] <BradGM> **You return to Quinlan's quarters in the middle of the station's night cycle.** [23:35] <BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
