With Grendel’s added insight into the map, thanks to his knowledge of the Eldar language, what was once mystery is revealed to the mutant; a map of the Immaterium, leading to the Dread Pearl, an untouched bounty of immense value being pursued by many Rogue Traders, von Gould included. [20:20]  The only hindering factor is a logistical one; travelling to Zayth took a fair portion of the ship’s stores, forcing the Maxim’s gambit to return to Footfall to restock on essentials before setting course toward von Gould’s expected location.+++ [20:20]  ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:23]  **Most of the trip back was done under rations, the crew was moslty silently accepting the half ration meals .** [20:23]  ((Shame we can't servitorize the crew!)) [20:24] * Grendel spends time with the tech priests, because that's how he rolls. [20:24]  ((and flies, and glides and...)) [20:25] * Lyra_ eats ration bars and goes on her jogs [20:26] * Grendel has no complaints about the rations...entirely possible he eats worse most of the time. [20:27]  ((more like eating more logically; all nutriments, no flavour)) [20:29]  ((of course!)) [20:30]  ((Doing anything during the trip Jon?)) [20:31] * Jon_Wake similarly takes the half rations with no quams. It reminds him of his younger days at the Schola Progenium [20:31]  ((no)) [20:33]  **After weeks of warp travels, months in real time, you enter the Furibundus system, where Footfall Station is located.** [20:34] * Lyra_ is worried that her accuracy has degraded without routine practice [20:35] * Grendel attempts to find out from the Tech-Priests exactly how long it will take to refurbish the ship, and looks for ways to increase the speed, in Omnissiah worthy ways. [20:36] <Jon_Wake> ((I heard that painting it red does wonders)) [20:37] <Grendel> ((Mars does love a good red)) [20:37] * Jon_Wake gets his bike and drives around for a while, looking for a place to practice his skills [20:38] <BradGM> **The restocking is done with servitors and manual labour; you could always coordonate the servitors directly** [20:40] * Grendel does so if it will speed up the process. [20:40] <BradGM> **Jon, roll search** [20:42] <BradGM> **Grendel, roll tech-use, for servitor contorl** [20:42] <BradGM> **Lyra, there is a munitorium on the ship, so there is a small area reserved as a shooting area; it's no shooting range, but it'll do.** [20:42] <Jon_Wake> !dhroll 80 [20:42] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 22 Success by 5 degrees! [20:43] * Lyra_ tsks at the poor conditions but resolves to keep from getting rusting [20:43] <Lyra_> rusty, even [20:44] <BradGM> **Jon, you ride around and manage to find numerous passage ways and access tunnels perfect for biking; you also appear to not be alone in this as other biekrs, with more 'local' bikes, ride left and right** [20:44] <Grendel> !dhroll 103 [20:44] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 73 Success by 3 degrees! [20:47] <BradGM> **Grendel, you managed to cut 4 days off the resupply; the two weeks are now down to ten days** [20:49] <Grendel> Such is the efficiency of the Omnissiah. [20:50] * Jon_Wake continues to drive on, but keeps an eye on wha tthe local bikers are up to [20:51] <BradGM> ((Grendel, you plan on leaving the ship?)) [20:52] <BradGM> **Jon, with your eye of experience, you can detect at least 3 different gang markings and have a very rough idea of thier possible turf** [20:52] <Grendel> ((hmm, yeah, he'll visit the various mechanicus shrines on the station)) [20:53] <BradGM> !dhroll 32 [20:53] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 25 Success by 0 degrees!

"I'm merely being a good business partner, nothing more."** [21:16] <Jon_Wake> "Of course you are" Jon didn't particularly care either way, more focused on the informaiton he can extract himself [21:17] * @Elttaes (Elttaes@039.sub-53-048-916.myvzw.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [21:18] <BradGM> Mordicus "I've actually been following your Mechanicus friend, and landed on this fellow follwoing him; since he doens't seems to be Black Brotherhood, I have made a fair assumption that he was someone assosiated with our...common cause?"
