Suddenly, the Human-sized gloom haunt produced a small version of his kin and threw it at the massed acolytes; it spurred out a gas of unknown origin, which caused Lyra to hallucinate daemon worms that tried to crawl up her leg. [20:15] <@BradGM> While her companions tried to no avail to stop her from shooting herself with her plasmagun, the creature made a quick exit from the scene. Somehow, Grendelâ€™s own implants suffered from a massive jamming pulse, resulting in the Tech-Priest losing control of all of his natural and implanted senses, but fortunately he managed to keep his balance in the rickety staircase. [20:15] <@BradGM> Lyra shot her own leg, burning through the carapace material and part of her flesh before Jon grappled her, Lyra slowly regaining her wits, and feeling the sharp pain of her wound. [20:15] <@BradGM> Mira was displeased by Gallusâ€™death by someone elseâ€™s hands and Grendel pocketed the strange gas gloom haunt, which turned out to be a modified smoke grenade loaded with an unknown hallucinogenic gas hidden inside a gloom haunt-like material. [20:15] * +Mira_Atella (~Athenis@pool-71-110-226-233.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:15] <@BradGM> With Gallus, Barg and their men shot, sliced or decapitated by gloom haunts, Mockingbird reported to Inquisitor Jex; he turned out far from pleased by the news. Ordered to come back at the Tricorn with all related items, the Arbites proceeded to lock down Toxic Falls, rounding up what witnesses and evidence they could find. [20:15] <@BradGM>. This took a few hours, before the acolytes and Justicar Jon were put into a gloomy Briefing room at the Inquisitional base alongside Falcon, nervously waiting for Jex to arrive for the debriefing.+++ [20:15] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:15] * Mira_Atella (~Athenis@pool-71-110-226-233.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined #Shadowrun [20:16] * BradGM sets mode: +v Mira_Atella [20:16] <@BradGM> ((everyone saw everything? one black was sorta big..

[20:18] * +Jonatan_wake sits in his chair, looking as dutiful as he possible can. A challange, as he was still clad in his armor. He had not yet had a chance to change into his dress uniform [20:18] <@BradGM> **Lyra, your leg wounds was properly dressed and treated; Grendle did a good job on it, but with the unclean anture of the underhive, the Inquisitor Medicae did not take any chances.** [20:18] * +Lyra nods [20:18] * +Mira_Atella leans on a wall, her eyes closed in deep thought. [20:19] <@BradGM> **Falcon is also there, sitting in silence, thorwing looks at you, only Hek, the Catachan, actually looks at your straight in the eyes, shaking his head every now and then. Baltazhal stands up, immobile.** [20:19] <@Grendel> ((next time I'll just remove the leg)) [20:20] * @Grendel studies Falcon with his optical mechadendrite while they wait the arrival of the Inquisitor, pondering the data readings that he managed to gather. [20:22] * Gloomba (~Gloomster@108-220-138-129.lightspeed.irvnca.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit) [20:22] <@BradGM> **suddenly, the doors to the room opens up, and comes in Inquisitor Jex, large brimmed hat and cane, with the ever faithful Captain Rothers hovering behind him.** [20:24] * +Mira_Atella pushes away from the wall with a shrug of her shoulder and opens her eyes. [20:24] <@BradGM> *He makes his way to the end fo the large table "Let us begin by the good news; The Galland is ours. Scintilla prime's Naval security forces boarded and captured the vessel alongside numerous officers with minimal collateral damage and acceptable losses." [20:24] * @Grendel focuses his sensors on the Inquisitor, continuing to examine the data in his background processes. [20:25] * +Jonatan_wake keeps watch of the Inquisitor [20:26] * Gloomba (~nope@108-220-138-129.lightspeed.irvnca.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Shadowrun [20:26] <@BradGM> Jex "Now that the positive is taken care of, explain the Bluther you created, Mockingbird!" [20:27] <@Grendel> "It was not the actions of Mockingbird that created this situation." [20:27] <@Grendel> "An unknown party interfered." [20:27] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow at the statement from Jex. [20:28] <@BradGM> Jex "Hm..Tell me Captain, what did that sounded for you?" [20:29] <@BradGM> **The servo skull beeped ++Excuses++ [20:29] <@BradGM> Jex "EXCUSES!" [20:30] <@Grendel> "Facts." [20:30] <@BradGM> Jex "You were on the scene, you were to capture Gallus and barg ALIVE, yet waht I know have is 20 cadavers and dead men tell no tales, except to Astropath, but were are rather short on those right now are we." [20:31] <+Jonatan_wake> "The suspects were already dead by the time we managed to reach them on the second floor" Jon reported [20:31] <@Grendel> "The unknown party interfered as soon as we started to move in. The only way o have gotten there faster was if we teleportedin." [20:32] <@BradGM> Jex "Ah yes, this 'party' you spoke about. A large Gloom Haunt, yes? Do I have to esteem you are incapable of taken care of a simple large hive critter?" [20:34] <@Grendel> "Gallus was not. The appearance was a cover I believe." [20:34] <+Jonatan_wake> ((Not with a -20 fear check, apparently)) [20:34] * +Mira_Atella keeps her mouth shut as this goes on, as not to get in more trouble. [20:35] <@BradGM> Jex "Cover?" *He seems to calm down, or act like it and sits down "Then do pray tell Grendel, just who was using mindless hive critters to interviene into a secret underworld meeting being watched by the Inquisition!" [20:35] <@BradGM> ((C'mon Mira, be a sport!)) [20:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh )) [20:37] <@Grendel> "The analysis of the grenade recovered during the operation indicates technology behind third party, not simply a mutant. The 'hive critter' was merely a covering, like a chameleoline cloak." [20:37] <@Grendel> ((Unless I'm way off on that heh)) [20:39] <@BradGM> Jex "captain, was my question answered?" [20:39] <@BradGM> Rothers ++Negative++ [20:39] <@BradGM> Jex "NEGATIVE!" [20:39] <@BradGM> JEx "I asked who is behind this obviously well elaborated smoke screen which redenred you blind!" [20:40] <@Grendel> "Data on the identity behind the Gloom haunts is not available to Mockingbird at this time." [20:40] <+Lyra> ((....oh, tempting, tempting)) [20:41] <+Mira_Atella> "Let's not skip the obvious point here. You know better than most that a.. simple hive creature.. couldn't take down Gallus like that. So if you want to believe that nothing, or no one, else was involved, you're foolish." Her eyes are narrowed on Jex. [20:44] <@Grendel> "Obviously the data does not suggest that is the case, but the only data recovered from the conflict does not point to a specific individual at this time." [20:44] <@Grendel> ((The teleporter beacon was Gallus' right?)) [20:44] <@BradGM> Jex "Be mindfull of your tongue Mira. your dislike of Gallus is not without reason, and I am, without a doubt certain that you would have hesitated to kill him for what he put your throught. Still, this is not good enough! Whoever he or they are, ought to be paying for their temparing in this operation." [20:44] <+Mira_Atella> (( yeah )) [20:44] <@BradGM> ((yes Grendel)) [20:45] <@BradGM> ((connected to the Galland's telportarium)) [20:45] <@BradGM> ((*that you would ahve not hesitated to..)) [20:46] <@Grendel> "The data we have recovered has been made available. I am sure with the will of the Omnissiah the individual will be eventually found." [20:47] <+Mira_Atella> "My whole reasoning for staying part of this team was to bring him down. Whether I would have killed him eventually is not a debate, but you would have gotten your information first." [20:47] <@BradGM> Jex "This operation took months, years to reach this point, I for one am not ready to see our effort go to waste becasue of some shadow organisation pulling strings in the background...Eventually is not good enough. He must be found and dealt with." [20:47] <@Grendel> "With more data it will be possible." [20:48] <@BradGM> Jex "You'd better pray that you are right." [20:49] <@BradGM> Jex "Knowledge of von Groudl's organisation was at hand, but someone slipped it from between our fingers! I want ansewrs and I want them now. DoImakemyselfclear?" [20:49] <+Jonatan_wake> "Yes sir" [20:50] <@Grendel> "Yes." [20:52] <@Grendel> ((Brb)) [20:53] <@BradGM> *Jex rises up quickly and wwalks to exit the room "Falcon, assist Mockingbird, and try to limit the mistakes. I will be contacting Astropaths to try and gather information from the dead. Reach me me only when you have this third party.." [20:54] <@BradGM> Jex "Mira. I gather you will still serv me despite Gallus' ending?" [20:54] <+Mira_Atella> "Someone took his death from me. So for now, yes." [20:55] <@BradGM> Jex "You do your Father proud. Emperor Guides you." *He exits the room, leaving you with Falcon.* [20:56] * +Mira_Atella rolls her eyes slightly at his last words, but says nothing more. [20:56] * +Jonatan_wake eiaws and salutes the inquisitor as he leaves [20:56] * @Grendel waits until after the door has closed. "To ask for data we do not have is illogical." [20:57] <+Lyra> "Compared to some commanders in the Guard, he was quite reasonable." [20:57] <@BradGM> Hek "Can't even take down a large gloom haunt. Who's illogical now gearhead?" [20:57] <@BradGM> Ezo "Hek, pelase. This serve no purpose." [20:58] <@BradGM> Hek "I still say we should have bene there, I would ahve taken it down no sweat." [20:58] <+Lyra> "Your arrogance does a disservice to the Emperor's wisdom in employing you." [20:59] <+Mira_Atella> "You weren't, so I'd suggest not dwelling on whatever fantasy you have of how it would have gone." [20:59] <@BradGM> **Hek snarls and walks out the room "I'll be at the interrogation block." [21:00] <@BradGM> Ezo "Excuse him, his upbringing on catachan left him..a bit uncouth.." [21:01] <+Mira_Atella> "He should be glad Jex kind of owes us, or what just happened would have been much worse." [21:01] <@Grendel> "To continue to believe that it was a gloom haunt seems illogical as well." [21:01] <@BradGM> Dr. Joss "Still, Jex is right, dead men can't talk. But what's done is done. We got somehting else on our plate to work on" [21:01] <+Mira_Atella> "Gloom haunt or not, it was intelligent. It fled when the goal it had was completed." [21:02] <@BradGM> Ezo "So would it be someone or a gorup controlling that beast?" [21:02] <@BradGM> Joss "Or someone in a disguise?" [21:02] <+Mira_Atella> "Impossible to say at this point. We'd be guessing and that won't get us anywhere." [21:02] <@Grendel> "And used technology, including a hallucinogenic compound in a grenade." [21:03] <@BradGM> Joss "What type of compound?" [21:03] * @Grendel stands still as his mechadendrites move around seemingly on their own. "Unknown at this point, perhaps that and the grenade will be the means of finding them." [21:04] <@BradGM> Joss "You and I should get onto analysing it." [21:06] * @Grendel nods and turns, heaidng for the Inquisition's labs. [21:06] <@BradGM> **Joss leaves with Grendel.** [21:06] * +Mira_Atella reaches in to her bag and grabs Gallus' small vox and bead. "I don't know if these will help, but you never know." She sets them down on the table. [21:06] <+Lyra> "I'm not much good for the analyzing of artifacts. Not a lot of call for that in the Guard." [21:07] <@BradGM> Ezo "Perhaps his vox transmission can be useful. We should gather it and analyse it." [21:07] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh it was meant for Grendel, he just hit enter before I could finish )) [21:07] <@BradGM> Ezo "not to mention the witnesses would require some questionning, something a bit more subtile than what Hek can give them." [21:08] <+Mira_Atella> "That's easy to arrange." [21:08] <+Jonatan_wake> "I can provide that" Jon got up from his seat [21:09] * +Lyra gets up to follow [21:09] <@Grendel> ((Sad when the Arbitrator is the subtle option :) )) [21:10] <@BradGM> ((Arbitrator backed by a guarsman and an assassin)) [21:10] <+Mira_Atella> "I need to take a few moments and then I'll join you." [21:11] * +Jonatan_wake nods to Mira before heading to the interrogation block [21:11] <+Jonatan_wake> ((before realizing that he has no idea how to get around here)) [21:11] <@BradGM> Ezo "I shall secure a recording of the Galland's vox transmission. Brother Baltazhal, perhaps the Deathwatch archives may hide some information that can be of use to us." [21:11] <@BradGM> ((Lyra would know)) [21:13] <+Lyra> "This way." [21:13] <@BradGM> baltazhal "I SHALL INVESTIGAE THIS..GLOOM HAUNT AND SEE IF SOMETHING SIMILAR WAS ENCOUNTERED, EZO." [21:14] <@Grendel> ((inside voice!)) [21:14] <@BradGM> ((helmet voice!)) [21:14] <@BradGM> **You each go to a different section fo the Tricorn.** [21:15] <@BradGM> ((Mira, doing anything in perticular, or just having a badass recollection montage moment?)) [21:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( and Mira went back to the house for a bit, then to see Bradon to talk about things )) [21:16] <+Mira_Atella> (( she's no good at the research stuff heh we learned that the hard way )) [21:16] <@BradGM> ((anythign in perticular or just clearing your mind for a moment?)) [21:18] <@BradGM> **Grendel, Dr. Joss and you can use the Inquisition,s ressources to conduct research, granting you a total of +40. Roll scolastic lore (Chemystry).

[21:20] <@BradGM> **Lyra and Jonm, you arrive at the interrogation block, where the underhivers have been forcibly sterilised, given cheap clothing with red marks at vital locations (shoulders, torso, front and back, knees, elbows) in case of a runner.
