[20:38] <@BradGM> +++Mockingbird, having yielded to Inquisitor Jex’s Divine authority for personal reasons, was promptly teleportariumed to the Tricorn where his acolytal training began. After an intensive 2 months of training, he was called to briefing Room 5E4 on orders of Inquisitor Jex. Meanwhile, at the near–by Cathedral of Illumination, Battle Sister Elana of The Order of Our Martyred Lady was send by His Eminence Cardinal Cornelius CLXVIII, to assist the Inquisition in retrieving a most Holy Relic from the Sector’s dawning.+++
[20:38] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:39] * +Grendel makes a note of the rather quiet Ecclesiastical goon as she enters.
[20:40] * +Alaric stands, paying attention and looking at the Sister.
[20:41] * +Mira_Atella looks the Sister up and down, but gives no perceivable reaction.
[20:41] * +Lazerus_Grim gulps and steps further around the holo-projector table, subconsciously not wanting to be anywhere near the newcomer
[20:41] <@BradGM> Jex "Mockingbird, Sister Elana, of The Order of Our Martyred Lady."
[20:42] * +Mira_Atella nods to her.
[20:42] <@BradGM> Jex "Your assistance for your mission."
[20:42] * +Alaric nods. "Honored Sister," he says in greeting. He looks back to Jex. "And the mission?"
[20:43] <@BradGM> Jex "In due time."
[20:43] * +Grendel remains silent, folding his arms infront of him, sliding his hands into the opposite sleeve.
[20:43] <@BradGM> Jex "Begin holopict projection."
[20:45] * +Grendel glances around to see if the Inquisitor is talking to him.
[20:45] <@BradGM> The large holopict table projects a elaborate scripture or a man, St-Drusus, raising his hands up to 5 sword of various types.
[20:46] * +Alaric raises an eyebrow and turns to look at the projection.
[20:46] * +Grendel studies the sculpture, as well as the way its projected.
[20:47] <@BradGM> Jex "After his rebirth, Saint-Drusus had to armed himself for the continuation of the Crusade. He picked up 5, then choose the sixth. While his sword is somewhere, what interested us here are the other 5 swords, known collectively as the Hand of St-Drusus."
[20:49] <@BradGM> Jex "Specifically, the smallest of them, Atrial."
[20:50] * +Grendel turns his attention to the swords, trying to pick out any detail of the smallest one.
[20:50] * +Mira_Atella looks over the image and focuses on the sword being mentioned.
[20:50] * +Alaric notes the picture, listening as he focuses on the holo.
[20:51] * +Lazerus_Grim has his copy of Book of Imperial Saints open, looking over the chapter on St. Drusus and his swords.
[20:51] <@BradGM> The holopict changes to show a small sword of glittering metal.
[20:51] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/i-school
[20:53] <@BradGM> Grim, you see that St-Drusus was a General in the Angevin Crusade, was killed and reborn, declared a Living Saint and his the Patron Saint of the Claixis Sector.
[20:53] <@BradGM> Also, the Sector's first Governor.
[20:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((is there any information in my book about his weapons?))
[20:53] <@BradGM> Your book doesn't speak of the swords.
[20:53] <+Alaric> "What do we know of this Atrial?"
[20:54] * +Lazerus_Grim mutters something about religious writers and studies the hologram.
[20:54] * +Grendel studies the sword, examining it closely. (Able to tell anything about it, such as Common Lore Tech, or Tech Use, or Forbidden Lore?))
[20:54] <@BradGM> Jex "While the others were given to the Ecclesiarchy, the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy, this one was given to the Inquisition."
[20:55] <@BradGM> ((Nah Grendel))
[20:55] <@BradGM> You can see it is a finely crafted weapon the handle surely holds a power field generator.
[20:56] <+Grendel> "I assume that is no longer the case?"
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "It was lost 437 Standard Terran Years ago aboard the Battle Cruiser "Pride of Terra" during warp voyage."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "Gellar fields failure is the most plausible and accepted theory."
[20:58] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow. "Has the Cruiser reappeared?"
[20:58] <@BradGM> Jex "Undoubtedly so."
[20:58] <+Grendel> "A hulk?"
[20:59] <@BradGM> Jex "It seems Mr. Ennoch has trained you well."
[20:59] <@BradGM> Jex "Change holopict."
[21:00] <@BradGM> The holopict goes static and changes to a floating mass of space debris, old ships, both humans and xenos, masses of space dust forming rocks, and something looking like flesh.
[21:01] <@BradGM> Jex "It was found almost by luck, while being reconned for another operation."
[21:01] * +Mira_Atella tilts her head slightly at an angle while looking at the new image.
[21:02] <@BradGM> A box form around a mass of the Hulk and zoom in, showing in more details an Imperial Battle Cruiser, with dulled gilded armour.
[21:02] * +Alaric stares at the holo. "Xenos? Are we certain the ship was not destroyed in a battle?"
[21:02] * +Grendel silently studies the image, attempting to catalog the designs.
[21:03] <@BradGM> It appears to have rammed/landed on the hulk, maybe a quarter of it's prow vanishes in the mass of metal and rocks.
[21:04] * Lynata (~katsu@86.45.186.115) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:04] <+Alaric> ((Greetings!))
[21:04] <@BradGM> Jex "It does not appear damaged to me."
[21:04] * BradGM sets mode: +v Lynata
[21:05] <+Grendel> "Perhaps the ships just gathered in the Warp."
[21:05] <+Alaric> "Are there recordings of the scan for us to analyze? En route of course. Besides recovering the blade, are we to ascertain what happened to the ship?"
[21:08] * Lynata is now known as Elana
[21:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Of course, a copy will be given afterward."
[21:08] <+Grendel> "Where was the sword to be in the ship?"
[21:10] <@BradGM> Jex "It was carried in the Statis field in the Guest Quarters. What schematic of the ship there is will be in the data-slade."
[21:10] * +Alaric nods without looking, still studying the images.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Jex "Keep in mind, this scan came to us recently, but it is 5 weeks old; what it contains might not be what shall transpires."
[21:12] * +Grendel pulls out his data-slate, enticing the machine spirit to share its knowledge with holopict projector.
[21:13] <+Alaric> "Were there recent xeno activity?"
[21:15] <@BradGM> Jex "The auguers were not fresh from Mars' Foundries, but radiation and power sources were detected."
[21:16] * +Elana eyes the projection with thinly veiled scepticism, apparently studying it and remaining quiet - for the moment.
[21:16] <+Grendel> "Equipment?"
[21:16] <+Alaric> "Transport?"
[21:18] <@BradGM> Jex "If seems old Ennoch did not teach you to control your impulsive nature, or is that eagerness to serve?"
[21:18] * +Mira_Atella looks at the others with a slight squint of annoyance.
[21:18] <+Grendel> "A plan can only come together once we know what the Omnissiah has blessed us with."
[21:18] <+Alaric> "If the blade is of importance, and there have been signs of xeno activity, then time is of the essence, no?"
[21:20] * +Elana 's eyes wander towards her erstwhile companions. 1"Their zeal -is- commendable, Lord Inquisitor."
[21:21] <@BradGM> Jex "Zeal is pointless when not focused Sister Elana."
[21:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> "That's why the good sister is here, no? To keep us focused and in line?"
[21:22] <+Mira_Atella> "If we'd let him finish, I'm sure we'd get out of here a lot more quickly."
[21:22] <+Elana> "We have a mission"6, the ecclesiarchal warrior insists, yet quickly changing topics. 1"But this ... this Hulk. It is no good. My armour will not protect me from the void."
[21:23] <@BradGM> ((Doesn't power armour protect from vaccum?))
[21:23] <+Grendel> ((not without a helmet :) ))
[21:23] <+Elana> ((if it has a helmet ;))
[21:23] <@BradGM> Jex "A helmet is well within our resources Sister."
[21:24] <@BradGM> "Jex "Captain Rother will take you to the Munitorium. and to the Aquila lander that will take you and Falcon to the Hulk. You leave in 4 hours."
[21:24] * +Elana remains skeptical. 1"If you have a compatible variant. Otherwise I will make due with what your allies may procure."
[21:25] * +Alaric nods. "The data slate with the intelligence," he asks, eager to study the information. "I assume we'll be able to requisition the needed equipment."
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella produces her own dataslate to see if the information has been sent to them.
[21:27] <@BradGM> Jex "Obviously."
[21:27] <@BradGM> Jex "your companion seems to have acquired it from the console. You may as well Alaric."
[21:28] * +Alaric shakes his head and reaches for the slate.
[21:29] * +Grendel studies the information carefully, murmuring to the machine spirit as he goes over the data with it.
[21:30] * +Mira_Atella puts her slate away and waits to be taken for requisitions.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "Captain Rother! Escort Mockingbird and sister Elana to Munitorium D."
[21:31] <@BradGM> The Captain drops from the high shadows and passes across the holopict table.
[21:31] * +Alaric doesn't read the slate, waiting to get their equipment and get underway. He nods to Jex, happy to get moving. He can study the data en-route.
[21:31] <@BradGM> ((http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/i-school now with Cpt. Rother.))
[21:31] * +Grendel converses with the machine spirit quietly in binary as he turns to follow the servo-skull.
[21:32] * +Mira_Atella follows the servoskull.
[21:33] * +Elana slightly arches her back for a moment, but quickly prepares to leave as the Inquisitor gives the word. Inclining her head in a gesture of respect she follows the rest of her team, the armour whirring in a low tone as she moves.
[21:33] * +Lazerus_Grim follows the sister out
[21:34] <@BradGM> Captain Rother takes you upward, in a section of the Tricorn you never visited yet, up to the end of a short 10 meter corridor to a window at heart-high. A man dressed with gang leathers and spiked green hair is waiting in front of the window.
[21:36] <@BradGM> Another large faced, fat nosed bearded man appears in the window "Here'ya go boy-o. Try not to drop it if it goes hot, it tends to explodes." *He hands over a plasmagun. The Man doesn't seems to trilled about that.
[21:37] * +Grendel nearly twitches at the sight of the weapon being turned over to the ganger.
[21:37] <@BradGM> The man leaves the window, leaving you with the beared man.
[21:37] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow at the sight, waiting patiently.
[21:38] * +Elana resorts to following the servoskull, casually carrying her signature weapon in both hands, the heavy cloth of her robe swinging after the Sister. Once again she seemed to muster the group before her attention switches to the men near the window ahead.
[21:39] <@BradGM> Behind him, you can see almost endless rows of equipment; guns, weapons, general gear, specialist gear, knives, grenades, bombs, clothes etc etc etc..servitors of all kinds go about the munitorium.
[21:39] <+Grendel> "The Omnissiah provides."
[21:39] <@BradGM> Man "Maybe, but in here, I'm the one who decides who gets what."
[21:40] * +Alaric nods to the bearded man respectfully.
[21:41] <@BradGM> He grumply looks at you Grendel. "And you better have that carved into yer' metal head of yours; proper paperwork must be filled for every request." [21:42] * +Elana slows her pace as they approach the inquisitorial agent. 1"Ave Imperator. We require equipment." [21:42] <@BradGM> ((oh you weren't at the window...)) [21:42] <+Elana> ((I'm confused. where are we?)) [21:42] <+Alaric> ((thought we were right behind the ganger)) [21:43] <+Grendel> "Of course. Each spirit must know how it is serving to serve them best." [21:43] <@BradGM> ((I thought you were behind the guy at the window, waiting behind him; he left and now you're the ones being served)) [21:43] <+Mira_Atella> (( that's what I thought )) [21:44] <@BradGM> Man "What equipment do you need?" [21:44] <+Elana> ((me too, though I thought we're not really waiting but just going up to him heh)) [21:45] <+Alaric> "We are going to be exploring a hulk of unknown status with the possibility for encountering xenos, good sir." [21:46] <@BradGM> Man "I'm happy about it. I'll be stuffing my face with grox and drinking myself later on." [21:46] * college579 (~college57@74.80.38.238) has joined #Shadowrun [21:46] * +Elana nods to Alaric's words, continuing in a calm voice. 1"We require gear to survive the void, and I presume my companions will request arms and armour." [21:46] <+Grendel> "What has the Omnissiah blessed you with?" [21:46] <+Alaric> "Sounds enjoyable," he says before nodding in agreement with Elana. [21:47] <@BradGM> Man "Right, now we're talking!" He gets out a sheet of paper and a writing pen* "So what do you need then?"
[21:47] <@BradGM> Man "void suits?"
[21:47] * +Mira_Atella nods to the man.
[21:48] * +Alaric nods. "Armored preferably if possible."
[21:48] <@BradGM> Man "Right...Sister, you have a helmet I suppose?"
[21:49] <+Elana> "I do not. You will not happen to have a Sabbat-pattern helmet in your armoury, is that correct?"
[21:50] <@BradGM> Man "Sure, we got a few of those suits o' armour in the pool; Don't expect to be something matching your armour."
[21:50] * college579 (~college57@74.80.38.238) has left #Shadowrun
[21:51] * +Elana seems irritated, slightly turning her head to the side whilst her eyes remain locked on the man. 1"Your ... pool? You keep Sororitas equipment in this facility?"
[21:51] * +Grendel considers carefully. "Do you have Dragonscale?"
[21:51] <@BradGM> Man "We keep power armour in here, yes."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Man "What, Dragonscale?! And just who are you people are again?"
[21:52] * +Grendel shrugs.
[21:53] <+Grendel> "I wished to see the limits of the munitorium."
[21:53] * +Lazerus_Grim pipes up, "May I acquire a full suit of flak armour?"
[21:53] <@BradGM> Man "And I wish for some credentials."
[21:54] <+Alaric> ((do we have 'credentials?')
[21:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we have the ident Trait thing))
[21:54] * +Grendel glances up at the servo-skull.
[21:54] <+Alaric> ((ok...))
[21:54] * +Alaric produces his identification.
[21:55] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh it's an internal ID, he should just be able to scan us or something ))
[21:55] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((thought it was a code we gave him))
[21:56] * +Elana follow's the Tech-Priest's gaze, giving voice to his thoughts - at least what she believes them to be. 1"The servo-skull should be able to vouch for us."
[21:56] <+Mira_Atella> (("The Acolyte gets a special command authorization code hypnoinducted in their minds"))
[21:56] <@BradGM> The man checks your ID. "Right then; You got a F-Clearance in here, so Forget about dragonscale; we don't do handouts here to new blood who haven'T even tackled a 2-bit cultist." [21:58] <+Elana> ((the F stands for "fuck-all")) [21:58] <@BradGM> The man looks out and up at Captain Rother "OOhhh..working for ol man Jex huh? All right. Are you going to be floating in the void for hours?"
[21:58] <@BradGM> ((yeah- that's what I thought as well))
[21:58] <+Grendel> ((Obviously the Inquisitor doesn't want us to have a chance against his watchdog.))
[21:58] <+Alaric> "Unknown. Let's plan for the worst though."
[21:59] <+Elana> "It may be so"6, she answers. 1"The ship we board may have no atmosphere of its own."
[21:59] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((brb))
[22:00] <@BradGM> Man "Right right..." The man scratches things and write others. "Void suits and a helmet. What else?"
[22:00] <+Grendel> "Do you have armored, or boarding suits?"
[22:01] <+Alaric> "Armored suits? Weaponry appropriate to the environ. Las or sealed stub weaponry I would guess."
[22:02] <@BradGM> Man "Now look here, Power armour would be the best for the situation, but it's not like we just hand them over for a simple hulk recon mission. The best I could have done was sealed carapace armour, but since you can't last forever in the void with those, boarding armour's the next best thing."
[22:02] <@BradGM> Man "Not the best when there is atmosphere, but better than nothing."
[22:02] <+Elana> "We may require something to open jammed bulkheads"6, the Battle Sister adds. 1"Melta weaponry, perhaps, if any of you is trained in their use."
[22:03] <+Alaric> "Then that is what we'll take, thank you." He nods to Elana.
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((Al: take what?))
[22:04] <+Alaric> ((Boarding armor))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((-10 to agility when in atmospheric conditions))
[22:04] <+Alaric> "If we could also acquire some flak armor in case there is an atmosphere, that would be excellent."
[22:05] <@BradGM> Man "And bags to carry the armour in the void as well?"
[22:05] <+Elana> ((Boarding Armour doesn't give -10, but Selenite heavy void suits do))
[22:05] * +Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[22:05] * +Alaric nods to the man.
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((ah basic boarding then.))
[22:06] <+Grendel> ((Everything but the selenite seems to only give an hour of air, fwiw))
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((yeah- you can't really wear flak armour under another armour))
[22:07] <+Alaric> ((yeah, I guessed. Henced able to switch out))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((well, deal with the man then for power armour))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((if you can/dare))
[22:07] <+Alaric> ((yeah with my massive bartering abilities...))
[22:07] <+Grendel> (oh, its not a complaint, I'm just letting people know we'll have to take extra air as well)
[22:07] * +Elana seems to ponder over the mission at hand. 1"I am uncertain what we may require under these conditions. A grapnel with rope may be of use as well. Is any of you a trained medicae?" 6She looks around.
[22:08] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head.
[22:09] <+Alaric> "A main armament, sidearm as well as close combat weapon." He shakes his head at Elana. "Not I."
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((That's what I'm saying Grendel; you'll have a -10 agility 'cause of the suit))
[22:10] <+Elana> ((damn, I didn't find anything about how much air supply boarding armour has - GM decision then :P))
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella says to Alaric, "We still have our knives, unless you're wanting some other close combat item."
[22:11] <+Grendel> "So boarding armor for the void and inside. To get inside we will need...meltagel or some other breaching charge."
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((comes with a built-in respirator and photo-visor, so basically, flak armour....IN SPPPPAAAAACCEEEE))
[22:12] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[22:13] * Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((might as well go sealed carapace at that point))
[22:13] * BradGM sets mode: +v Lazerus_Grim
[22:13] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sorry about that))
[22:14] <@BradGM> The man writes what you ask; rope, meltagel, pistols and a basic weapon each
[22:14] <@BradGM> Advanced medkit
[22:15] <+Alaric> "Extra air rations. Will we need any specialize gear to access damaged ship systems," he says to the tech-priest.
[22:15] * +Grendel nods.
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((the man is no tech-priest))
[22:16] <@BradGM> Man "Extra air?..Why do you need air for some Hulk recon?"
[22:16] <+Alaric> "If we get stuck for longer than expected. I simply like to plan for eventualities when possible.
[22:16] <+Alaric> "
[22:17] <+Grendel> "Are Hell weapons permissible?"
[22:17] <@BradGM> Man "So you'll want another 10 hours air canister?"
[22:18] <@BradGM> Man "They are in case of Hulk, yes."
[22:18] <+Alaric> "If possible, yes."
[22:18] <@BradGM> Man "all right..
[22:20] <+Alaric> "Weapons, check. Armor, check. Air, check. Breaching supplies, check. Rope and linking supplies," he pauses. "Will the suit's communication capabilities extend outside of a hulk? Or is a signal booster of some form available?"
[22:20] <+Grendel> "D'laku Crusade-Pattern Hellgun, Hellpistol, a mono-axe if possible."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Man "You'll need a vox caster for that; but you'll ahve to carry it by hand."
[22:24] * +Grendel nods.
[22:25] <@BradGM> Man "So, anyone else wants something?"
[22:26] <+Elana> "Two krak grenades"6, she decides after a moment of silence.
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( ermm. I don't have access to the book, so I can't pick specific items ))
[22:26] <+Alaric> ((yeah, I'm blanking))
[22:26] <+Alaric> "Grenades would be nice."
[22:27] <+Elana> ((just say something that comes to your mind, the guy will know what you want :D))
[22:27] <+Grendel> "Backpack power packs."
[22:27] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[22:28] <@BradGM> Man "you have backpacks on those void suits, you'll have to get pack belts"
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "I don't need anything too fancy, a laspistol, void suit, and a katana type sword if you have one."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Man "Any form of augery system? I will require you to bring ALL of what you are taken back and in good condition."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Man "Might as well make sure you don't get ambushed first bulkhead you pass."
[22:30] * +Alaric nods. "That would be appreciated."
[22:31] * +Lazerus_Grim taps his brain. "I think that's why I'm here."
[22:32] <+Elana> "Yes. I believe an Auspex would prove useful." 6Her gaze wanders towards the Mechanicus again. 1"I am sure you know how to use one of those."
[22:32] <+Grendel> "A Combi-tool, multikey.
[22:32] <+Grendel> "Of course."
[22:33] <@BradGM> Man "right..anything else?"
[22:34] <+Grendel> "Servitors?"
[22:34] <@BradGM> Man "Got to start at the bottom and do your own work Tech-Priest."
[22:35] * +Grendel glances over at the watchdog. "Of course."
[22:35] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Lascutter. Lamp Packs. Pict Recorder."
[22:35] <@BradGM> The man notes it down.
[22:35] * +Elana furrows her brows at the last request, yet does not say anything for now.
[22:36] <@BradGM> ((yeah can always kill them at the mission site))
[22:36] <@BradGM> Man "Right, everyone's happy?"
[22:37] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:37] <+Alaric> "Hmm, I think so sir."
[22:38] <@BradGM> Man "Right, let's get you fitted with those void suit. come on inside."
[22:38] <@BradGM> He seems to plop down as a section of the wall opens up to reveal a hidden door.
[22:39] * +Mira_Atella walks through the door and waits to follow his lead.
[22:39] * +Alaric nods to the man and heads inside. [22:39] <@BradGM> Crossing over into the Munitorium, you see that the Quartermaster is a short, Squat squarish man with a larger, sturdy looking body [22:39] * +Grendel turns and starts to walk through the door. [22:40] * +Lazerus_Grim follows Grendel [22:40] * +Elana blinks at first as the man 'disappears', but quickly regains her composure and moves with the rest of the team. [22:42] <@BradGM> you get on a cart-servitor, it's torso sticking out at the front. The man says "Section A-4." and you're off. [22:42] <@BradGM> Man "so, what's that Hulk recon mission that takes more than an hour's time to do?" [22:43] <+Elana> "Recovery"6 is the Sister's rather short reply. [22:43] * +Alaric nods. [22:45] * +Grendel watches as the gear goes past. [22:45] <@BradGM> The man shakes his head grumply. "Nobody's a talker here, I like Jex's other cell better."
[22:45] <@BradGM> You pass rows of pistols..that you recognize as Type-C pistols.
[22:46] <+Alaric> ((I don't even know what most of the gear is ;) and of course not talkers...not there yet))
[22:47] <@BradGM> You pass many section of power armours, both ancient and new, standard and light, carapace and flak of many pattern, mesh woven into clothing and more recognizable armour, then you arrive at the void suits.
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((oh wait))
[22:48] <@BradGM> You pass many section of power armour, both ancient and new, standard and light. The man signals the cart-servitor to stop.
[22:48] <@BradGM> Man "come on sister, let's go see that helmet of yours."
[22:49] <@BradGM> The short man dismount and goes into the Power armour section.
[22:49] * +Elana inspects the gear on display with hints of curiosity, the trait of a warrior who respects his tools. As the cart stops her attention returns to the short man. 1"I am not sure that you will find a helmet that fits, but we shall try."
[22:50] * +Grendel slides off the cart-servitor, following the man, examining the various suits of power armor.
[22:50] <@BradGM> The power armours are of many patterns and style; some are gilded with Inquisitional markings and gold, others appears battered and well used, others are nonscript, with no markings on them.
[22:51] * +Elana follows, trusting the quartermaster to know his stock. Again her gaze wanders off to the individual items.
[22:51] <+Grendel> "An impressive compliment."
[22:51] <@BradGM> You go meet another short squat bearded man who's busy tinkering on some bend paultron.
[22:52] * +Alaric looks around curiously, just looking as he waits patiently.
[22:52] <@BradGM> man "Brokk."
[22:52] <@BradGM> Brokk "Bradin."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Bradin "That sister needs a helmet, void recon of some type, 'supposed to last more than an hour too!"
[22:54] <@BradGM> Brokk "Whaaat? They're expectin' some of those big ticks?"
[22:54] <@BradGM> Bradin "I dunno, they won't say. But I don't think so, they're takin' Selenites."
[22:55] <+Elana> "My armour is easily able to support me in the void", she informs the two. "If it is sealed. To be sealed it requires a helmet compatible with all its connectors."
[22:56] <@BradGM> The both look at you semi-insulted, all grumply like. Brook looks your armour over "Mark II Angel Armour..I got something somewhere..hold on.." [22:56] <+Grendel> "And one whose spirit is compatible with the armor she currently wears." [22:57] * +Elana almost seems impressed at 'Brook' being able to identify the suit. [22:57] <@BradGM> The 2 men look at each other with complicity. [22:58] <@BradGM> Brook walks away for a few minutes, leaving you surrounded by the empty power armour. A few minutes later, Brook returns. [22:59] * +Grendel spends the time examining the various suits of armor. [22:59] <@BradGM> Brook "Try that." *He hands you a lower half studded black helmet who's got a distant similarity to the Sabbat-pattern.
[23:00] <@BradGM> It's less rounded, and a little more squared.
[23:02] <+Elana> "Curious...", she adjudges, turning the helmet around in her hands after having hanged the boltgun to her armour using a ring on its grip. The Sister peeks inside, then finally proceeds to don the helmet, reaching for the small cables inside her armour's collar to connect them.
[23:02] <@BradGM> ((Your head explodes!))
[23:02] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[23:03] <+Elana> ((>.<))
[23:03] * +Alaric watches the sister curiously, amidst looking at the technical wealth surrounding them.
[23:03] <@BradGM> You hear the suit sealing itself and your HUD appears in front of your eyes. Everything seems to work fine, if only a slight colour change on your HUD
[23:05] * +Elana 's helmet's "eyes" lighten up dimly as the auto-senses spring to life. After a moment of orientation and turning the head to each side she nods, responding with a somewhat metallic voice: "It seems suitable. You have my thanks."
[23:05] <@BradGM> Brook "Just bring it back; I don't care who brings it back, just do."
[23:07] <+Elana> "The Order of Our Martyred Lady is known for respecting its equipment, servant." She sounds almost instructive, like a confessor preaching at the mess.
[23:08] <@BradGM> Bradin "Right, back on the cart."
[23:09] <@BradGM> Brook seems to boil under his beard.
[23:09] * +Grendel turns from where he had been studying a piece of armor and silently returns to the cart, after giving the new helmet of their watchdog a look over.
[23:10] * +Elana disconnects the helmet and takes it off again before returning to the cart, shortly shaking out her hair - which quickly falls back into its orderly place, given that she keeps it in the Sororitas' usual simple cut.
[23:10] <@BradGM> You drive a little while to the void suit area.
[23:10] * +Alaric watches the interaction curiously, staying silent as he follows along.
[23:10] <@BradGM> Bradon "all right, let's get those void suits."
[23:11] <@BradGM> You are guided into rows of void suits, from simple things or almost Sentinel-like mech suits.
[23:12] * Ribonizer (~hehe@70.53.198.7) Quit (Signed off)
[23:12] <@BradGM> Bradon stops to a row of sturdy looking void suits, looks ancient for it's design.
[23:13] * +Grendel starts to check over the suits, standing before one that's near his size.
[23:17] * +Elana remains patiently seated, silently watching the Acolytes as they gather their gear.
[23:17] * +Mira_Atella checks several of the suits before picking one and making sure the fit is right.
[23:18] <@BradGM> The suit is a very well made Selenite-pattern void suit. With integrated voxcomm, patching kit, small grapple+10 meters of line, photo-visor, magnetic boots, emergency lampacks, impellor units and hull sealant.
[23:18] * +Alaric looks over the suits curiously, never having needed one before.
[23:18] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can see the quality of the workmanship is superior.
[23:19] * +Alaric finds one that is close. He checks with Bradon before touching it however. Never mess with another man's territory without permission...or just cause.
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((Armour is of best quality, 4 AP body, arms legs, 5 AP head.))
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((half weight, so no agility penalties))
[23:21] * +Grendel looks over the suit. "The machine spirit of this suit calls to me."
[23:21] * +Lazerus_Grim walks up to the first suit that looks like it fits and tried it on, making sure it fits before he takes it.
[23:22] <@BradGM> You all get a suit.
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((add it to your sheets, with the extras the suit has))
[23:23] <+Alaric> ((done))
[23:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((only Alaric's is Best Quality?))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((all of them))
[23:26] <+Lazerus_Grim> ah, cool
[23:27] <@BradGM> Bradon "Right, let's go get your weapons."
[23:27] <@BradGM> ((And let's top it here guys, getting late))
[23:27] <+Elana> ((gah, already? D:))
[23:27] <+Alaric> (( ;) ))
[23:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh yeah, not sure how this took 2 hours to do equipment lol ))
[23:27] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((bummer))
[23:27] * +Alaric nods. "After you good sir," he says.
[23:27] <+Alaric> ((Thanks for the game Braddoc!))
[23:28] <@BradGM> ((yeah getting late, sorry- serves you right now changing the time like us, the rest of the world!))

[20:38] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:39] * +Grendel makes a note of the rather quiet Ecclesiastical goon as she enters.
[20:40] * +Alaric stands, paying attention and looking at the Sister.
[20:41] * +Mira_Atella looks the Sister up and down, but gives no perceivable reaction.
[20:41] * +Lazerus_Grim gulps and steps further around the holo-projector table, subconsciously not wanting to be anywhere near the newcomer
[20:41] <@BradGM> Jex "Mockingbird, Sister Elana, of The Order of Our Martyred Lady."
[20:42] * +Mira_Atella nods to her.
[20:42] <@BradGM> Jex "Your assistance for your mission."
[20:42] * +Alaric nods. "Honored Sister," he says in greeting. He looks back to Jex. "And the mission?"
[20:43] <@BradGM> Jex "In due time."
[20:43] * +Grendel remains silent, folding his arms infront of him, sliding his hands into the opposite sleeve.
[20:43] <@BradGM> Jex "Begin holopict projection."
[20:45] * +Grendel glances around to see if the Inquisitor is talking to him.
[20:45] <@BradGM> The large holopict table projects a elaborate scripture or a man, St-Drusus, raising his hands up to 5 sword of various types.
[20:46] * +Alaric raises an eyebrow and turns to look at the projection.
[20:46] * +Grendel studies the sculpture, as well as the way its projected.
[20:47] <@BradGM> Jex "After his rebirth, Saint-Drusus had to armed himself for the continuation of the Crusade. He picked up 5, then choose the sixth. While his sword is somewhere, what interested us here are the other 5 swords, known collectively as the Hand of St-Drusus."
[20:49] <@BradGM> Jex "Specifically, the smallest of them, Atrial."
[20:50] * +Grendel turns his attention to the swords, trying to pick out any detail of the smallest one.
[20:50] * +Mira_Atella looks over the image and focuses on the sword being mentioned.
[20:50] * +Alaric notes the picture, listening as he focuses on the holo.
[20:51] * +Lazerus_Grim has his copy of Book of Imperial Saints open, looking over the chapter on St. Drusus and his swords.
[20:51] <@BradGM> The holopict changes to show a small sword of glittering metal.
[20:51] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/i-school
[20:53] <@BradGM> Grim, you see that St-Drusus was a General in the Angevin Crusade, was killed and reborn, declared a Living Saint and his the Patron Saint of the Claixis Sector.
[20:53] <@BradGM> Also, the Sector's first Governor.
[20:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((is there any information in my book about his weapons?))
[20:53] <@BradGM> Your book doesn't speak of the swords.
[20:53] <+Alaric> "What do we know of this Atrial?"
[20:54] * +Lazerus_Grim mutters something about religious writers and studies the hologram.
[20:54] * +Grendel studies the sword, examining it closely. (Able to tell anything about it, such as Common Lore Tech, or Tech Use, or Forbidden Lore?))
[20:54] <@BradGM> Jex "While the others were given to the Ecclesiarchy, the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy, this one was given to the Inquisition."
[20:55] <@BradGM> ((Nah Grendel))
[20:55] <@BradGM> You can see it is a finely crafted weapon the handle surely holds a power field generator.
[20:56] <+Grendel> "I assume that is no longer the case?"
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "It was lost 437 Standard Terran Years ago aboard the Battle Cruiser "Pride of Terra" during warp voyage."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "Gellar fields failure is the most plausible and accepted theory."
[20:58] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow. "Has the Cruiser reappeared?"
[20:58] <@BradGM> Jex "Undoubtedly so."
[20:58] <+Grendel> "A hulk?"
[20:59] <@BradGM> Jex "It seems Mr. Ennoch has trained you well."
[20:59] <@BradGM> Jex "Change holopict."
[21:00] <@BradGM> The holopict goes static and changes to a floating mass of space debris, old ships, both humans and xenos, masses of space dust forming rocks, and something looking like flesh.
[21:01] <@BradGM> Jex "It was found almost by luck, while being reconned for another operation."
[21:01] * +Mira_Atella tilts her head slightly at an angle while looking at the new image.
[21:02] <@BradGM> A box form around a mass of the Hulk and zoom in, showing in more details an Imperial Battle Cruiser, with dulled gilded armour.
[21:02] * +Alaric stares at the holo. "Xenos? Are we certain the ship was not destroyed in a battle?"
[21:02] * +Grendel silently studies the image, attempting to catalog the designs.
[21:03] <@BradGM> It appears to have rammed/landed on the hulk, maybe a quarter of it's prow vanishes in the mass of metal and rocks.
[21:04] * Lynata (~katsu@86.45.186.115) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:04] <+Alaric> ((Greetings!))
[21:04] <@BradGM> Jex "It does not appear damaged to me."
[21:04] * BradGM sets mode: +v Lynata
[21:05] <+Grendel> "Perhaps the ships just gathered in the Warp."
[21:05] <+Alaric> "Are there recordings of the scan for us to analyze? En route of course. Besides recovering the blade, are we to ascertain what happened to the ship?"
[21:08] * Lynata is now known as Elana
[21:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Of course, a copy will be given afterward."
[21:08] <+Grendel> "Where was the sword to be in the ship?"
[21:10] <@BradGM> Jex "It was carried in the Statis field in the Guest Quarters. What schematic of the ship there is will be in the data-slade."
[21:10] * +Alaric nods without looking, still studying the images.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Jex "Keep in mind, this scan came to us recently, but it is 5 weeks old; what it contains might not be what shall transpires."
[21:12] * +Grendel pulls out his data-slate, enticing the machine spirit to share its knowledge with holopict projector.
[21:13] <+Alaric> "Were there recent xeno activity?"
[21:15] <@BradGM> Jex "The auguers were not fresh from Mars' Foundries, but radiation and power sources were detected."
[21:16] * +Elana eyes the projection with thinly veiled scepticism, apparently studying it and remaining quiet - for the moment.
[21:16] <+Grendel> "Equipment?"
[21:16] <+Alaric> "Transport?"
[21:18] <@BradGM> Jex "If seems old Ennoch did not teach you to control your impulsive nature, or is that eagerness to serve?"
[21:18] * +Mira_Atella looks at the others with a slight squint of annoyance.
[21:18] <+Grendel> "A plan can only come together once we know what the Omnissiah has blessed us with."
[21:18] <+Alaric> "If the blade is of importance, and there have been signs of xeno activity, then time is of the essence, no?"
[21:20] * +Elana 's eyes wander towards her erstwhile companions. 1"Their zeal -is- commendable, Lord Inquisitor."
[21:21] <@BradGM> Jex "Zeal is pointless when not focused Sister Elana."
[21:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> "That's why the good sister is here, no? To keep us focused and in line?"
[21:22] <+Mira_Atella> "If we'd let him finish, I'm sure we'd get out of here a lot more quickly."
[21:22] <+Elana> "We have a mission"6, the ecclesiarchal warrior insists, yet quickly changing topics. 1"But this ... this Hulk. It is no good. My armour will not protect me from the void."
[21:23] <@BradGM> ((Doesn't power armour protect from vaccum?))
[21:23] <+Grendel> ((not without a helmet :) ))
[21:23] <+Elana> ((if it has a helmet ;))
[21:23] <@BradGM> Jex "A helmet is well within our resources Sister."
[21:24] <@BradGM> "Jex "Captain Rother will take you to the Munitorium. and to the Aquila lander that will take you and Falcon to the Hulk. You leave in 4 hours."
[21:24] * +Elana remains skeptical. 1"If you have a compatible variant. Otherwise I will make due with what your allies may procure."
[21:25] * +Alaric nods. "The data slate with the intelligence," he asks, eager to study the information. "I assume we'll be able to requisition the needed equipment."
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella produces her own dataslate to see if the information has been sent to them.
[21:27] <@BradGM> Jex "Obviously."
[21:27] <@BradGM> Jex "your companion seems to have acquired it from the console. You may as well Alaric."
[21:28] * +Alaric shakes his head and reaches for the slate.
[21:29] * +Grendel studies the information carefully, murmuring to the machine spirit as he goes over the data with it.
[21:30] * +Mira_Atella puts her slate away and waits to be taken for requisitions.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "Captain Rother! Escort Mockingbird and sister Elana to Munitorium D."
[21:31] <@BradGM> The Captain drops from the high shadows and passes across the holopict table.
[21:31] * +Alaric doesn't read the slate, waiting to get their equipment and get underway. He nods to Jex, happy to get moving. He can study the data en-route.
[21:31] <@BradGM> ((http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/i-school now with Cpt. Rother.))
[21:31] * +Grendel converses with the machine spirit quietly in binary as he turns to follow the servo-skull.
[21:32] * +Mira_Atella follows the servoskull.
[21:33] * +Elana slightly arches her back for a moment, but quickly prepares to leave as the Inquisitor gives the word. Inclining her head in a gesture of respect she follows the rest of her team, the armour whirring in a low tone as she moves.
[21:33] * +Lazerus_Grim follows the sister out
[21:34] <@BradGM> Captain Rother takes you upward, in a section of the Tricorn you never visited yet, up to the end of a short 10 meter corridor to a window at heart-high. A man dressed with gang leathers and spiked green hair is waiting in front of the window.
[21:36] <@BradGM> Another large faced, fat nosed bearded man appears in the window "Here'ya go boy-o. Try not to drop it if it goes hot, it tends to explodes." *He hands over a plasmagun. The Man doesn't seems to trilled about that.
[21:37] * +Grendel nearly twitches at the sight of the weapon being turned over to the ganger.
[21:37] <@BradGM> The man leaves the window, leaving you with the beared man.
[21:37] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow at the sight, waiting patiently.
[21:38] * +Elana resorts to following the servoskull, casually carrying her signature weapon in both hands, the heavy cloth of her robe swinging after the Sister. Once again she seemed to muster the group before her attention switches to the men near the window ahead.
[21:39] <@BradGM> Behind him, you can see almost endless rows of equipment; guns, weapons, general gear, specialist gear, knives, grenades, bombs, clothes etc etc etc..servitors of all kinds go about the munitorium.
[21:39] <+Grendel> "The Omnissiah provides."
[21:39] <@BradGM> Man "Maybe, but in here, I'm the one who decides who gets what."
[21:40] * +Alaric nods to the bearded man respectfully.
[21:41] <@BradGM> He grumply looks at you Grendel. "And you better have that carved into yer' metal head of yours; proper paperwork must be filled for every request."
[21:42] * +Elana slows her pace as they approach the inquisitorial agent. 1"Ave Imperator. We require equipment."
[21:42] <@BradGM> ((oh you weren't at the window...))
[21:42] <+Elana> ((I'm confused. where are we?))
[21:42] <+Alaric> ((thought we were right behind the ganger))
[21:43] <+Grendel> "Of course. Each spirit must know how it is serving to serve them best."
[21:43] <@BradGM> ((I thought you were behind the guy at the window, waiting behind him; he left and now you're the ones being served))
[21:43] <+Mira_Atella> (( that's what I thought ))
[21:44] <@BradGM> Man "What equipment do you need?"
[21:44] <+Elana> ((me too, though I thought we're not really waiting but just going up to him heh))
[21:45] <+Alaric> "We are going to be exploring a hulk of unknown status with the possibility for encountering xenos, good sir."
[21:46] <@BradGM> Man "I'm happy about it. I'll be stuffing my face with grox and drinking myself later on."
[21:46] * college579 (~college57@74.80.38.238) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:46] * +Elana nods to Alaric's words, continuing in a calm voice. 1"We require gear to survive the void, and I presume my companions will request arms and armour."
[21:46] <+Grendel> "What has the Omnissiah blessed you with?"
[21:46] <+Alaric> "Sounds enjoyable," he says before nodding in agreement with Elana.
[21:47] <@BradGM> Man "Right, now we're talking!" He gets out a sheet of paper and a writing pen* "So what do you need then?"
[21:47] <@BradGM> Man "void suits?"
[21:47] * +Mira_Atella nods to the man.
[21:48] * +Alaric nods. "Armored preferably if possible."
[21:48] <@BradGM> Man "Right...Sister, you have a helmet I suppose?"
[21:49] <+Elana> "I do not. You will not happen to have a Sabbat-pattern helmet in your armoury, is that correct?"
[21:50] <@BradGM> Man "Sure, we got a few of those suits o' armour in the pool; Don't expect to be something matching your armour."
[21:50] * college579 (~college57@74.80.38.238) has left #Shadowrun
[21:51] * +Elana seems irritated, slightly turning her head to the side whilst her eyes remain locked on the man. 1"Your ... pool? You keep Sororitas equipment in this facility?"
[21:51] * +Grendel considers carefully. "Do you have Dragonscale?"
[21:51] <@BradGM> Man "We keep power armour in here, yes."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Man "What, Dragonscale?! And just who are you people are again?"
[21:52] * +Grendel shrugs.
[21:53] <+Grendel> "I wished to see the limits of the munitorium."
[21:53] * +Lazerus_Grim pipes up, "May I acquire a full suit of flak armour?"
[21:53] <@BradGM> Man "And I wish for some credentials."
[21:54] <+Alaric> ((do we have 'credentials?')
[21:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we have the ident Trait thing))
[21:54] * +Grendel glances up at the servo-skull.
[21:54] <+Alaric> ((ok...))
[21:54] * +Alaric produces his identification.
[21:55] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh it's an internal ID, he should just be able to scan us or something ))
[21:55] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((thought it was a code we gave him))
[21:56] * +Elana follow's the Tech-Priest's gaze, giving voice to his thoughts - at least what she believes them to be. 1"The servo-skull should be able to vouch for us."
[21:56] <+Mira_Atella> (("The Acolyte gets a special command authorization code hypnoinducted in their minds"))
[21:56] <@BradGM> The man checks your ID. "Right then; You got a F-Clearance in here, so Forget about dragonscale; we don't do handouts here to new blood who haven'T even tackled a 2-bit cultist."
[21:58] <+Elana> ((the F stands for "fuck-all"))
[21:58] <@BradGM> The man looks out and up at Captain Rother "OOhhh..working for ol man Jex huh? All right. Are you going to be floating in the void for hours?"
[21:58] <@BradGM> ((yeah- that's what I thought as well))
[21:58] <+Grendel> ((Obviously the Inquisitor doesn't want us to have a chance against his watchdog.))
[21:58] <+Alaric> "Unknown. Let's plan for the worst though."
[21:59] <+Elana> "It may be so"6, she answers. 1"The ship we board may have no atmosphere of its own."
[21:59] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((brb))
[22:00] <@BradGM> Man "Right right..." The man scratches things and write others. "Void suits and a helmet. What else?"
[22:00] <+Grendel> "Do you have armored, or boarding suits?"
[22:01] <+Alaric> "Armored suits? Weaponry appropriate to the environ. Las or sealed stub weaponry I would guess."
[22:02] <@BradGM> Man "Now look here, Power armour would be the best for the situation, but it's not like we just hand them over for a simple hulk recon mission. The best I could have done was sealed carapace armour, but since you can't last forever in the void with those, boarding armour's the next best thing."
[22:02] <@BradGM> Man "Not the best when there is atmosphere, but better than nothing."
[22:02] <+Elana> "We may require something to open jammed bulkheads"6, the Battle Sister adds. 1"Melta weaponry, perhaps, if any of you is trained in their use."
[22:03] <+Alaric> "Then that is what we'll take, thank you." He nods to Elana.
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((Al: take what?))
[22:04] <+Alaric> ((Boarding armor))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((-10 to agility when in atmospheric conditions))
[22:04] <+Alaric> "If we could also acquire some flak armor in case there is an atmosphere, that would be excellent."
[22:05] <@BradGM> Man "And bags to carry the armour in the void as well?"
[22:05] <+Elana> ((Boarding Armour doesn't give -10, but Selenite heavy void suits do))
[22:05] * +Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[22:05] * +Alaric nods to the man.
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((ah basic boarding then.))
[22:06] <+Grendel> ((Everything but the selenite seems to only give an hour of air, fwiw))
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((yeah- you can't really wear flak armour under another armour))
[22:07] <+Alaric> ((yeah, I guessed. Henced able to switch out))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((well, deal with the man then for power armour))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((if you can/dare))
[22:07] <+Alaric> ((yeah with my massive bartering abilities...))
[22:07] <+Grendel> (oh, its not a complaint, I'm just letting people know we'll have to take extra air as well)
[22:07] * +Elana seems to ponder over the mission at hand. 1"I am uncertain what we may require under these conditions. A grapnel with rope may be of use as well. Is any of you a trained medicae?" 6She looks around.
[22:08] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head.
[22:09] <+Alaric> "A main armament, sidearm as well as close combat weapon." He shakes his head at Elana. "Not I."
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((That's what I'm saying Grendel; you'll have a -10 agility 'cause of the suit))
[22:10] <+Elana> ((damn, I didn't find anything about how much air supply boarding armour has - GM decision then :P))
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella says to Alaric, "We still have our knives, unless you're wanting some other close combat item."
[22:11] <+Grendel> "So boarding armor for the void and inside. To get inside we will need...meltagel or some other breaching charge."
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((comes with a built-in respirator and photo-visor, so basically, flak armour....IN SPPPPAAAAACCEEEE))
[22:12] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[22:13] * Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((might as well go sealed carapace at that point))
[22:13] * BradGM sets mode: +v Lazerus_Grim
[22:13] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sorry about that))
[22:14] <@BradGM> The man writes what you ask; rope, meltagel, pistols and a basic weapon each
[22:14] <@BradGM> Advanced medkit
[22:15] <+Alaric> "Extra air rations. Will we need any specialize gear to access damaged ship systems," he says to the tech-priest.
[22:15] * +Grendel nods.
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((the man is no tech-priest))
[22:16] <@BradGM> Man "Extra air?..Why do you need air for some Hulk recon?"
[22:16] <+Alaric> "If we get stuck for longer than expected. I simply like to plan for eventualities when possible.
[22:16] <+Alaric> "
[22:17] <+Grendel> "Are Hell weapons permissible?"
[22:17] <@BradGM> Man "So you'll want another 10 hours air canister?"
[22:18] <@BradGM> Man "They are in case of Hulk, yes."
[22:18] <+Alaric> "If possible, yes."
[22:18] <@BradGM> Man "all right..
[22:20] <+Alaric> "Weapons, check. Armor, check. Air, check. Breaching supplies, check. Rope and linking supplies," he pauses. "Will the suit's communication capabilities extend outside of a hulk? Or is a signal booster of some form available?"
[22:20] <+Grendel> "D'laku Crusade-Pattern Hellgun, Hellpistol, a mono-axe if possible."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Man "You'll need a vox caster for that; but you'll ahve to carry it by hand."
[22:24] * +Grendel nods.
[22:25] <@BradGM> Man "So, anyone else wants something?"
[22:26] <+Elana> "Two krak grenades"6, she decides after a moment of silence.
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( ermm. I don't have access to the book, so I can't pick specific items ))
[22:26] <+Alaric> ((yeah, I'm blanking))
[22:26] <+Alaric> "Grenades would be nice."
[22:27] <+Elana> ((just say something that comes to your mind, the guy will know what you want :D))
[22:27] <+Grendel> "Backpack power packs."
[22:27] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[22:28] <@BradGM> Man "you have backpacks on those void suits, you'll have to get pack belts"
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "I don't need anything too fancy, a laspistol, void suit, and a katana type sword if you have one."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Man "Any form of augery system? I will require you to bring ALL of what you are taken back and in good condition."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Man "Might as well make sure you don't get ambushed first bulkhead you pass."
[22:30] * +Alaric nods. "That would be appreciated."
[22:31] * +Lazerus_Grim taps his brain. "I think that's why I'm here."
[22:32] <+Elana> "Yes. I believe an Auspex would prove useful." 6Her gaze wanders towards the Mechanicus again. 1"I am sure you know how to use one of those."
[22:32] <+Grendel> "A Combi-tool, multikey.
[22:32] <+Grendel> "Of course."
[22:33] <@BradGM> Man "right..anything else?"
[22:34] <+Grendel> "Servitors?"
[22:34] <@BradGM> Man "Got to start at the bottom and do your own work Tech-Priest."
[22:35] * +Grendel glances over at the watchdog. "Of course."
[22:35] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Lascutter. Lamp Packs. Pict Recorder."
[22:35] <@BradGM> The man notes it down.
[22:35] * +Elana furrows her brows at the last request, yet does not say anything for now.
[22:36] <@BradGM> ((yeah can always kill them at the mission site))
[22:36] <@BradGM> Man "Right, everyone's happy?"
[22:37] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:37] <+Alaric> "Hmm, I think so sir."
[22:38] <@BradGM> Man "Right, let's get you fitted with those void suit. come on inside."
[22:38] <@BradGM> He seems to plop down as a section of the wall opens up to reveal a hidden door.
[22:39] * +Mira_Atella walks through the door and waits to follow his lead.
[22:39] * +Alaric nods to the man and heads inside.
[22:39] <@BradGM> Crossing over into the Munitorium, you see that the Quartermaster is a short, Squat squarish man with a larger, sturdy looking body
[22:39] * +Grendel turns and starts to walk through the door.
[22:40] * +Lazerus_Grim follows Grendel
[22:40] * +Elana blinks at first as the man 'disappears', but quickly regains her composure and moves with the rest of the team.
[22:42] <@BradGM> you get on a cart-servitor, it's torso sticking out at the front. The man says "Section A-4." and you're off.
[22:42] <@BradGM> Man "so, what's that Hulk recon mission that takes more than an hour's time to do?"
[22:43] <+Elana> "Recovery"6 is the Sister's rather short reply.
[22:43] * +Alaric nods.
[22:45] * +Grendel watches as the gear goes past.
[22:45] <@BradGM> The man shakes his head grumply. "Nobody's a talker here, I like Jex's other cell better."
[22:45] <@BradGM> You pass rows of pistols..that you recognize as Type-C pistols.
[22:46] <+Alaric> ((I don't even know what most of the gear is ;) and of course not talkers...not there yet))
[22:47] <@BradGM> You pass many section of power armours, both ancient and new, standard and light, carapace and flak of many pattern, mesh woven into clothing and more recognizable armour, then you arrive at the void suits.
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((oh wait))
[22:48] <@BradGM> You pass many section of power armour, both ancient and new, standard and light. The man signals the cart-servitor to stop.
[22:48] <@BradGM> Man "come on sister, let's go see that helmet of yours."
[22:49] <@BradGM> The short man dismount and goes into the Power armour section.
[22:49] * +Elana inspects the gear on display with hints of curiosity, the trait of a warrior who respects his tools. As the cart stops her attention returns to the short man. 1"I am not sure that you will find a helmet that fits, but we shall try."
[22:50] * +Grendel slides off the cart-servitor, following the man, examining the various suits of power armor.
[22:50] <@BradGM> The power armours are of many patterns and style; some are gilded with Inquisitional markings and gold, others appears battered and well used, others are nonscript, with no markings on them.
[22:51] * +Elana follows, trusting the quartermaster to know his stock. Again her gaze wanders off to the individual items.
[22:51] <+Grendel> "An impressive compliment."
[22:51] <@BradGM> You go meet another short squat bearded man who's busy tinkering on some bend paultron.
[22:52] * +Alaric looks around curiously, just looking as he waits patiently.
[22:52] <@BradGM> man "Brokk."
[22:52] <@BradGM> Brokk "Bradin."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Bradin "That sister needs a helmet, void recon of some type, 'supposed to last more than an hour too!"
[22:54] <@BradGM> Brokk "Whaaat? They're expectin' some of those big ticks?"
[22:54] <@BradGM> Bradin "I dunno, they won't say. But I don't think so, they're takin' Selenites."
[22:55] <+Elana> "My armour is easily able to support me in the void", she informs the two. "If it is sealed. To be sealed it requires a helmet compatible with all its connectors."
[22:56] <@BradGM> The both look at you semi-insulted, all grumply like. Brook looks your armour over "Mark II Angel Armour..I got something somewhere..hold on.."
[22:56] <+Grendel> "And one whose spirit is compatible with the armor she currently wears."
[22:57] * +Elana almost seems impressed at 'Brook' being able to identify the suit.
[22:57] <@BradGM> The 2 men look at each other with complicity.
[22:58] <@BradGM> Brook walks away for a few minutes, leaving you surrounded by the empty power armour. A few minutes later, Brook returns.
[22:59] * +Grendel spends the time examining the various suits of armor.
[22:59] <@BradGM> Brook "Try that." *He hands you a lower half studded black helmet who's got a distant similarity to the Sabbat-pattern.
[23:00] <@BradGM> It's less rounded, and a little more squared.
[23:02] <+Elana> "Curious...", she adjudges, turning the helmet around in her hands after having hanged the boltgun to her armour using a ring on its grip. The Sister peeks inside, then finally proceeds to don the helmet, reaching for the small cables inside her armour's collar to connect them.
[23:02] <@BradGM> ((Your head explodes!))
[23:02] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[23:03] <+Elana> ((>.<))
[23:03] * +Alaric watches the sister curiously, amidst looking at the technical wealth surrounding them.
[23:03] <@BradGM> You hear the suit sealing itself and your HUD appears in front of your eyes. Everything seems to work fine, if only a slight colour change on your HUD
[23:05] * +Elana 's helmet's "eyes" lighten up dimly as the auto-senses spring to life. After a moment of orientation and turning the head to each side she nods, responding with a somewhat metallic voice: "It seems suitable. You have my thanks."
[23:05] <@BradGM> Brook "Just bring it back; I don't care who brings it back, just do."
[23:07] <+Elana> "The Order of Our Martyred Lady is known for respecting its equipment, servant." She sounds almost instructive, like a confessor preaching at the mess.
[23:08] <@BradGM> Bradin "Right, back on the cart."
[23:09] <@BradGM> Brook seems to boil under his beard.
[23:09] * +Grendel turns from where he had been studying a piece of armor and silently returns to the cart, after giving the new helmet of their watchdog a look over.
[23:10] * +Elana disconnects the helmet and takes it off again before returning to the cart, shortly shaking out her hair - which quickly falls back into its orderly place, given that she keeps it in the Sororitas' usual simple cut.
[23:10] <@BradGM> You drive a little while to the void suit area.
[23:10] * +Alaric watches the interaction curiously, staying silent as he follows along.
[23:10] <@BradGM> Bradon "all right, let's get those void suits."
[23:11] <@BradGM> You are guided into rows of void suits, from simple things or almost Sentinel-like mech suits.
[23:12] * Ribonizer (~hehe@70.53.198.7) Quit (Signed off)
[23:12] <@BradGM> Bradon stops to a row of sturdy looking void suits, looks ancient for it's design.
[23:13] * +Grendel starts to check over the suits, standing before one that's near his size.
[23:17] * +Elana remains patiently seated, silently watching the Acolytes as they gather their gear.
[23:17] * +Mira_Atella checks several of the suits before picking one and making sure the fit is right.
[23:18] <@BradGM> The suit is a very well made Selenite-pattern void suit. With integrated voxcomm, patching kit, small grapple+10 meters of line, photo-visor, magnetic boots, emergency lampacks, impellor units and hull sealant.
[23:18] * +Alaric looks over the suits curiously, never having needed one before.
[23:18] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can see the quality of the workmanship is superior.
[23:19] * +Alaric finds one that is close. He checks with Bradon before touching it however. Never mess with another man's territory without permission...or just cause.
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((Armour is of best quality, 4 AP body, arms legs, 5 AP head.))
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((half weight, so no agility penalties))
[23:21] * +Grendel looks over the suit. "The machine spirit of this suit calls to me."
[23:21] * +Lazerus_Grim walks up to the first suit that looks like it fits and tried it on, making sure it fits before he takes it.
[23:22] <@BradGM> You all get a suit.
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((add it to your sheets, with the extras the suit has))
[23:23] <+Alaric> ((done))
[23:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((only Alaric's is Best Quality?))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((all of them))
[23:26] <+Lazerus_Grim> ah, cool
[23:27] <@BradGM> Bradon "Right, let's go get your weapons."
[23:27] <@BradGM> ((And let's top it here guys, getting late))
[23:27] <+Elana> ((gah, already? D:))
[23:27] <+Alaric> (( ;) ))
[23:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh yeah, not sure how this took 2 hours to do equipment lol ))
[23:27] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((bummer))
[23:27] * +Alaric nods. "After you good sir," he says.
[23:27] <+Alaric> ((Thanks for the game Braddoc!))
[23:28] <@BradGM> ((yeah getting late, sorry- serves you right now changing the time like us, the rest of the world!))
