[20:53] <@BradGM> +++ The Hive Knight: Loxx Pt II+++
[20:53] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Dark Dreams Lie Upon the Heart+++
[20:53] <@BradGM> +++Location: In run-down Dive; Sub-Sector 45; Hive Sibellus; Scintilla +++
[20:53] <@BradGM> +++0351Hours- Sibellus Time++
[20:53] <@BradGM> +++ The acolytes and Jon fell under attack by all sides by the gangers, but quickly the tables turned, Lyra proving more than an equal match for all of them. Jon himself suffered only a few low blows, but his armour took the bulk of it.
[20:53] <@BradGM> After half the gangers went off flying, a more competent fighter, armed with makeshift torches, knocked the already wounded Mira on her backside, prompting Grendel to get involved. While his strikes proved infective, he did managed to spot Loxx, a woman with numerous burned scars/tattoos on her face and body, and started down the gang leader and her close guards with simple exposure of his bolt pistol.
[20:53] <@BradGM> . The fight was quickly put on hold, as Mockingbird, in an ever-ongoing display of dodgy answers and half-truths, tried to warn Loxx, and in turn, the Firechilds, about her imminent death at the hand of some mysterious enemy with mixed results.
[20:54] <@BradGM> This resulted in the woman being curious, if only more ready, to face the assailant with the cell who, at least in the case of Lyra, proved a worthy ally. Grendel insisted for the gangboss to follow them to safety, which pushed Jon to reveal their allegiance, to the collective surprise of the hivers; the Holy Inquistion. +++
[20:54] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:55] <@BradGM> The gangers are all awe-struck by Jon's almost off hand remark.
[20:55] * Grendel calculates the response of the gangers.
[20:56] * Mira_Atel leans on items nearby as she walks.
[20:56] * Mira_Atel is now known as Mira
[20:56] <@BradGM> Loxx "W..what does the Inquisiton wants from us?"
[20:56] * Jon_Wake gives the stonic look of a man who would not make such a answer without serious condiseration
[20:56] <@BradGM> Ganger "Are we gonna be attacked by Xenos?"
[20:56] <@BradGM> gagner s 2Nah man, it's demaons, always deamons on the pict vid!"
[20:57] <@BradGM> ganger "frak that! I'd rahter be those tentacle monster than demaons!"
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jon, roll charm, intimidate or command, whichever sutis your fancy
[20:57] <Grendel> "Loxx is familiar with what is coming. She was in contact with the last victim when it came for him."
[20:58] <Jon_Wake> (well, non of those looks good...)
[20:58] <@BradGM> Loxx "Hey I know he got killed, but I don't know by who or what!"
[20:59] <jbsnv> ( jon just pray to the dark gods, it will all be ok )
[20:59] <@BradGM> Grendle, you cna see she appears to be tellign the truth on that one; rare are those who lie to the inquisition after all..

[21:00] <@BradGM> Jon, your cold stare down seems to bear fruit with Loxx.
[21:00] <@BradGM> Loxx "all right, we'll do it your way. Let's pack'em and ride'em boys."
[21:01] <@BradGM> The gangers begin to gather thier few belongings, liek knives and vests, finihing drnks hastely to get moving soon
[21:01] * Jon_Wake nods "that's a wise decision"
[21:03] * Grendel keeps his auspex on the look out for the vigilante.
[21:03] <@BradGM> Loxx orders a few to stay aorund to keep the sector under watch; they are really not feleing it, but she's not taking no for an answer.
[21:03] <@BradGM> Loxx and 15 gangers exits the bar and jump on their bikes.
[21:04] * Jon_Wake turns to the others "we should probably vox in our arrival before we cause any confussion"
[21:04] <Lyra> "Probably."

[21:06] <jbsnv> ( XD )
[21:08] <@BradGM> Grendel, you think that dropping wihtout much of a warning with 15 gangers to the Tricorn is far form regualr protocol; Lyra also knows that, furtehrmore, this is outside the normal procedures, much less that they will all be searched, unarmed, and locked into cells pending interrogation/torture/something to do with them; perhaps a single person might be better to present, and carry up-hive, than aaconvoy of 15 gangers, moving like they're about to stir trouble.((
[21:10] * Grendel attempts to contact the Tricorn to inform them of the situation.
[21:10] <Lyra> "Loxx...I know you want to have your boys with you, but...bringing all of them with you is like saying you *want* to start a rumble."
[21:10] * Mira pays little attention as she looks for the vehicle to get back and spend some more time with the squat doc.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Loxx "Well, didn't you poeple say someone is wanting to kill me? I'm gonna make'em think twice!"
[21:12] <@BradGM> A few of the gangers rev up thier engine,; defenitively loking for a fight
[21:13] <Grendel> "They are unlikely to be helpful."
[21:13] <Lyra> "Sure, but who do you think is gonna be better? Your boys, or a bunch of Inquisition types with armor and heavy weapons?"
[21:13] <Jon_Wake> "Unfortunately, bringing that many people will moer than likely attract the arbitor's attention more so than the assiler"
[21:13] * Lyra reaches into the van and brings out her plasma gun. "Weapons like this."
[21:14] <@BradGM> roll charm+10 Lyra, thanks to your brawling badassery, +10 for flashing the plasma to prove your point

[21:15] <jbsnv> ( ooooooo aaahhhhhh )
[21:15] <jbsnv> ( its so shiny)
[21:16] <@BradGM> You seem to be quite convincing Lyra. Loxx tell the gangers to stay put, leaving the man named Bones in charge; but she still takes one of the tough looking ganger/bodyguard with her.
[21:17] <@BradGM> Grendel, you infomr the =I= of the current situation; they will have a 'welcoming comittee' ready for your arrival
[21:18] <@BradGM> Loxx "All right, lead the way, and you'd better be telling me stories."
[21:20] * Mira gets in the vehicle they arrived in.
[21:20] <@BradGM> (('nohter visit to Bradon is in order i think?))
[21:20] * Grendel returns to the vehicle, letting Lyra deal with the ganger.
[21:20] <Mira> (( yup ))
[21:21] <Lyra> "Right then, this way." <motions to the van>
[21:23] <@BradGM> They both freeze for a moment, but Loxx get off ehr bike unwillingly, follwoed by the tough, and they cautiosouly enter the van, somewhat surprised that it is way more than a rustbucket the exterior give out. they still sit in the back, keeping the lot of oyu in front of them
[21:24] <@BradGM> Lyra, roll drive+10 thanks to the van's sytems

[21:25] <Jon_Wake> "Mira, if you had a power weapon and the ability to fly, how would you approach this situation?"
[21:25] <Grendel> ((brb))
[21:26] <@BradGM> Going donw was easy, but going back out seems quite difficult. It takes Loxx spitting out a few mumbled direciton for you to exit the sub-sector and regain the Hive City.
[21:26] * Mira gives a strangle look to Jon, "I can do the more important of those, which was how we almost caught him earlier."
[21:26] <@BradGM> Loxx "Easeir with your fist than with a wheel ain't ya?"
[21:27] <Mira> "But for the moment? Neither would help. We need more information."
[21:27] <Jon_Wake> ((He meant how would the gloom huant try to kill them while in the van))
[21:27] <Lyra> "It would be easier if I had permission to blow buildings and bulldoze through them."
[21:28] <Mira> (( He probably wouldn't know they were in it unless he was already there watching ))
[21:28] <@BradGM> Loxx "Well, it can work if that van can turn into a tank. I'd still trust my bike"
[21:28] <@BradGM> ((..Or would he?))
[21:29] <Jon_Wake> ((It's a fricking Batman equivilant, of course he does))
[21:29] <Lyra> "Bikes are vulnerable to explosive fragmentation."
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((waht no! he's a pruely original concept and character I swear!))
[21:30] <Jon_Wake> ((orignal OC do not steel))
[21:30] <@BradGM> Loxx "Bikes cna still drive circles 'round your tank."
[21:30] <Lyra> "That's what firing ports are for."
[21:30] <@BradGM> Loxx "eh.."
[21:31] <@BradGM> *She leads back, taking out a Lho and lighting it, letting the match burn to her fingers, slowly.
[21:31] <Lyra> ((attempting to persuade a Guardsmen of the superiority of bikes over honest tanks is never going to work))
[21:32] <@BradGM> Loxx "So just how's after my skin? Muty wasn't a tough one to get, but if the Inqusition thin I'm in danger, must be quite the goon."
[21:32] <@BradGM> ((like gangers only swear on thier bikes rahter than tnaks.))
[21:33] <@BradGM> The van quickly gets filled wiht low quality lho smoke
[21:33] * Jon_Wake tries to figure how to explain this without looking insane
[21:34] <Lyra> ((compared to the stench of bar-b-qued Ork, this is nothing!))
[21:34] * Mira quickly pulls the goggles down over her eyes.
[21:34] <jbsnv> ( I CANT SEE!!! )
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((she also got her head bandaged form those torches.))
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((note to Mira: wear that head armour!))
[21:36] <Mira> (( :P ))
[21:36] <Jon_Wake> "A very skilled fighter with who has been using terror tactics on the local population. We believed that Muty was a informant for him, which is how we managed to find you and we assume why he was killed"
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((more like your pciture))
[21:36] <Mira> (( This is why she shouldn't listen when someone tells her to take the pot off her head ))

[21:37] <jbsnv> ( that and the gm is bad at rolling )
[21:37] <jbsnv> ( really bad )
[21:37] <Jon_Wake> (Is that good or bad for us?)
[21:38] <jbsnv> ( both )
[21:38] <@BradGM> Loxx "so Muty was a snitch for the enforcer and he got killed when they raided his hotel? The Protectorate knows how to stay away from us."
[21:39] <@BradGM> Loxx "But I don't mind havingg the mighty Inquisiton keepin' those Hax lapdogs at bay. ThaT'll keep'em far away fro a loooong time."
[21:40] <Jon_Wake> "He was not killed at the hotel or by the protectorate, we were there at his home when the vigilanty kill him"
[21:40] <Jon_Wake> (Loose definition of "killed him")
[21:41] <@BradGM> Loxx looked at you a little confused "what a vigil and tea?"
[21:41] <@BradGM> tough "Must be one of those high and noble types boss."
[21:42] <@BradGM> Loxx "They crack like anyone else."
[21:43] <Jon_Wake> 'fraking scum' said Jon's inner monologe
[21:44] <@BradGM> Loxx "Well that rich type won't be messin' with us now at least."
[21:45] <Lyra> ((Guardsman Rule #44: Never tell the bait that they're bait))
[21:45] <Grendel> ((Sorry about that. Stupid house))
[21:45] <@BradGM> ((yeah they don't seem to knwo what a vigilante is))
[21:46] <Jon_Wake> "For the most part" Jon answers before looking over to the techpriest "anything?"
[21:46] <@BradGM> ((so theY're ven more in the dark the perfect bait indeed))
[21:46] <Mira> (( What did the house... do? ))

[21:47] <jbsnv> ( well there you go
[21:47] <jbsnv> )
[21:48] <Grendel> ((lots of lights that don't seem to work outside))
[21:49] * Grendel continuously checks his auspex for signs of the vigilante or the interference that proceeds it.
[21:49] <@BradGM> nothing as of yet Grendel
[21:50] <Grendel> "Nothing on the auspex."
[21:50] <@BradGM> ((talking saying anything else guys? else we'll move onto the next bit))
[21:51] <Mira> (( I'm good ))
[21:51] <Jon_Wake> (I'm fine for now)
[21:51] <jbsnv> ( taco )
[21:52] * Grendel isn't one for small talk.
[21:52] * Lyra is driving
[21:53] <@BradGM> You drive onto the main express way into Hive City, the trafic still somewhat light, mostly large rgis who haul manufactorum goods to the spaceport to be taken off world and back wiht raw materials for the manufactorium
[21:53] * Jon_Wake stays on guard
[21:54] <@BradGM> The cabin is rather thick with Lho smokes, Loxx and her bodyguard are quite the smokers unsurprising for a gang with a fire fetish; anyone cracked a window yet?
[21:54] <Lyra> (As long as visibility isn't impaired I should be fine)
[21:55] <Grendel> ((go go respirator. Let the frails deal with that))

[21:56] <Grendel> ((Tech or perception?))
[21:58] <@BradGM> The van's vox also give sout constant news report of a large mysterious beasts that stalked duirng the night; Arbitrators are investigating, with it appears the Adeptus Mechanicus, judging from 'exclusive' reels taken by channel 445's very own investigative reporter Gravel. a house was raided and a whole sector lock down for the investigation and numerous person have reported sightings.

[21:59] <Mira> "Reports from the public will be mostly useless. Everyone will be seeing things that aren't there."
[22:00] * Grendel listens to the reports and correlates it with their activities during the night.
[22:00] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can detect a vehicle coming fast behind you, about 75 meters away; it appears to be with 4 person on board; with that rol you can also detect the presence of explsoives, greandes types it seems
[22:01] <@BradGM> Grendel, it does yes; it seems Gravel might ahve managed to film you on the scene after being done interviewing Jon.
[22:01] <@BradGM> And connected dots where none where there, for rating purposes no doubt
[22:02] <Grendel> "We have a vehicle with grenades approaching us from behind at high speed. 75 meters and closing."
[22:03] * Grendel turns his optical mechadendrite to peer out from any window that will give him a view of the target.
[22:03] <Lyra> "Jon, take the wheel."
[22:03] <Jon_Wake> ((Oh shit))
[22:03] * Mira looks to see if the van has rear doors.
[22:03] * Jon_Wake nods to lyra and takes the helm
[22:03] * Lyra grabs her plasma gun
[22:04] <@BradGM> It does Mira, Loxx and the bodyguard are sitting right in front to them, so the bench might offer some protection if it's shielded.
[22:04] <Mira> (( I was thinking more, opening them and throwing the guys off with the cloud of smoke that comes out, giving us a bit of a surprise ;) ))
[22:04] <@BradGM> Grendel you cna see the car behind you coming in fast in your lane. It is quite easy to see as it is the only non- big rig vehicle on the road aprt from you
[22:05] <Jon_Wake> ((Oh double shit))
[22:05] <@BradGM> ((It's smoke smoke, not really thick to make that effect sadly))
[22:05] <@BradGM> ((except if you want to risk the chance theyR'e afreaid of second hadn smoke))
[22:05] <Jon_Wake> ((Roll for lung cancer))
[22:05] <Mira> (( Nah, just more a surprise element of doors opening and smoke, with someone ready to shoot at them heh ))
[22:05] <@BradGM> ((jon: what? a chase with big rigs all over, what's not to love?..just a failed test might have you doing aface-to-face))
[22:06] <@BradGM> (Mira: that can work))
[22:06] * Grendel describes the car to the others as he examines it. "4 people inside."
[22:06] * Mira looks to Lyra, "Could you take out the engine quickly? I'm thinking we can throw the back doors open and get one good shot at them before they can react."

[23:20] <@BradGM> He is quite discusted by the fact that the Gloom Haunt is a 'simple' Vigilante
[23:21] <@BradGM> It could also be some sort of jealousy, as Jex is obviously likng the theatricals.
[23:21] <Mira> "The connection will be avoided, I'll make sure of that."
[23:22] <@BradGM> Jex "Do not fail me, Mira."
[23:22] <@BradGM> He inhales and exhale rapidly once, and then back to his regular, clam tone of voice
[23:23] <@BradGM> Jex "Now, what is this business? All those reuqisitoon, and bandages it appears, for a couple of gangers?"
[23:24] <Lyra> "Sir. The requisition was just in case it was needed. The bandages are for wounds caused by the target that were exacerbated during a scuffle, sir."
[23:24] <Jon_Wake> "We were prepared in the potental that the Vigilanty would beat us to the target like it has before" Jon reported
[23:25] <@BradGM> Jex turns his free hand "And?"

[23:26] <Jon_Wake> "While it did not show, we were attacked by another party"
[23:26] <@BradGM> Jex "That still does not explain the presence of those two hiver scum..Firechild, judging by the scars, yes?"
[23:27] <Lyra> "Sir, we have reason to believe the target intends them to be his next victims. We were planning on using them as bait, sir."
[23:27] <Jon_Wake> "One of them has some association to one of our previous leads"

Make sure you return the requisitionned items as well, Bradon is quite..concerned about loaning items to not cleared personnel, Quite the stubbord Squat he is."
