[20:20] <@BradGM> +++Location: Pride of Terra, Deck 0-XXI-GS, Guest Quarter #2+++
[20:20] <@BradGM> +++0757 Hours Hive Tarsus time+++
[20:20] <@BradGM> +++As Grendel cuts open the lift door leading to the objective, the rest of Mockingbird makes the ascension to join him. As they move closer, a third of the Guest Quarters is blocked by a bric-à-brac wall of metal,wood and is horribly patchedwork. Searching the 4 quarters that were accessible proved fruitless, if only by some monetary gain, weapon and clothing of little value right now.
[20:20] <@BradGM> Aupex and Psychic powers forsee what was hidden behind the constructed wall; a multitude of small creatures. It was decided that burning through the wall with melta-paste was a safer alternative.
[20:20] <@BradGM> After spending half their reserves, the wall was breached; the room the last resting place of Inquisitor Ravia Scarlet, and Atrial locked in some golden cylinder with a push-release keyboard.
[20:21] <@BradGM> Mira noticed a scibbled message in ancient inquisitorial cyphers, which after translation reads out as “To get what you seek, you must say what it is. Your eyes can deceived you; don't trust them”.+++

[20:22] * +Mira_Atella watches Grim and Grendel go over the message, giving them space as they decipher it.
[20:22] * +Alaric studies the room carefully, as he would any scene.
[20:23] * +Grendel` avoids glancing around to figure out how exactly our eyes are deceiving us. "The sword is many things."
[20:24] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:24] * +Elana eyes the inquisitive Acolytes going about their business, momentarily seeming to trust them with solving the riddle - though the Battle Sister's patience is visibly growing thinner by the minute. For the time being, her eyes wander towards the nearby surroundings.
[20:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Perhaps it is talking of some ultimate gain. Each of us has our own motives, a goal we are each working towards. Could it be thinking of that?"
[20:25] <@BradGM> The room is quite bare, short of the statis feidl in front of the door
[20:25] <+Alaric> "The holy blade, Atrial. Is that all it needs?"
[20:26] <+Grendel`> "Or the hand of St. Drusus."
[20:26] * +Elana groans in frustration. 1"Obviously it is not as simple. This vexes me - what kind of protection is at work here?"
[20:28] * +Grendel` looks over the case, studying the cylinder closely, as well as the keyboard.
[20:28] * +Mira_Atella mutters quietly, "For all we know it's gibberish to confuse us and it means nothing."
[20:29] <+Elana> "Perhaps ..." 6The armoured Sister takes a step closer to the ancient blade, eyeing it in thoughts.
[20:29] * +Alaric shrugs, and stands in front of the field, repeating the blade's name. "Just in case the simplest answer is the right one."
[20:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol you missed them doing this last week, it was funny then too ))
[20:30] * +Lazerus_Grim shifts his weight from one foot to the other, a puzzled look on his face. "Could it be another language?"
[20:30] <+Alaric> ((lol ah!))
[20:30] <@BradGM> Grendel, the keyboard is inside the cylinder; you'll have to push it to reveal it.
[20:30] * Chymos (~me@mo-71-51-217-217.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:32] * +Grendel` shrugs and pushes it.
[20:32] <+Alaric> "I know both High and Low Gothic...though I do not think that is the answer."
[20:32] <@BradGM> Grendel, a small keybaord slides out form the cylinder; got all the standard keys, if only smaller.
[20:32] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

[20:34] <+Grendel`> "Well, we have several options. Does anyone have a preferred one?"
[20:34] <+Elana> ((do we even know how Atrial looks like? I'm perfectly happy with my character confusing the other blade for it :P))
[20:34] <@BradGM> ((Yes; I linked a picture of it during the briefing))
[20:34] <+Alaric> ((wait, its not even here?? ))
[20:34] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/i-school bottom of page
[20:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( I think we saw it at the briefing ))
[20:35] <+Elana> ((ah ... my memories again :I))
[20:35] <@BradGM> ((your mind is too much filled with Faith))
[20:36] <+Alaric> "Enter the full name?"
[20:37] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:37] * +Mira_Atella doesn't say a word, leaving the button pushing and tech work to those that understand it.
[20:38] * +Grendel` mutters a brief prayer and enters the name Atrial.
[20:38] <@BradGM> Nothing happens.
[20:39] * +Grendel` tries "The Hand of St. Drusus."
[20:39] <+Alaric> ((What is it's true/full name? lore roll or something?))
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((you know that already))
[20:40] <@BradGM> Grendel, after 6 keys, you cannot enter more information; and nothing happens
[20:41] * +Elana watches the Tech-Priests work expectantly.
[20:41] * +Grendel` straightens. "The password seems to be 6 letters wrong, unless the container was damaged by the warp."
[20:41] <@BradGM> ((To get what you seek, you must say what it is. Your eyes can deceived you; don't trust them))
[20:42] <@BradGM> ((more like the password got 6 letters in it grendel))
[20:43] <+Grendel`> ((err, sorry, 6 letters long, not wrong))
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((ah!..wasn't sure, so I wrote it just in case))
[20:43] <+Elana> "Six letters. Like Atrial"6, she states the obvious. 1"Does the machine spirit not respond to your query?"
[20:44] <+Alaric> ((we did that. also said that. least I think so))
[20:44] * +Grendel` shakes his head as he glances around, picking up the sheathed sword from the floor.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Grendel, the Sword is a Power weapon, which would require extensive prayers and care to see service again
[20:45] <@BradGM> It is not Atrial
[20:45] <+Mira_Atella> "If there are numerical keys maybe it wants a numerical value for the word?"
[20:46] <+Alaric> ((is this the room where we believed it to be stored?))
[20:46] * +Elana blinks shortly, having no mind for such games. 1"Is there another way to open the container?"
[20:46] <+Elana> ((it's the general area, iirc))
[20:46] <+Alaric> ((ok))
[20:46] <@BradGM> ((Well, remains of an Inquisitor as it's feet; door blcoked by ancient statis feild..I'd say it is))
[20:47] * +Alaric frowns. "Is there writing or information of some kind hidden on the blade or sheath?"
[20:48] * +Grendel` says a brief prayer for the weapon as he takes it from the sheath,studying them both.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Short of engraving of the Inquisition, there is no apparent coded or ntoe on either weapon or sheath; but both are worn out by time, so if there was soemthing it might no longer be there.
[20:50] * +Grendel` shakes his head. "Nothing that I can see."
[20:50] * +Grendel` studies the keys on the keyboard to see if they're in the standard place.
[20:50] <@BradGM> They are
[20:51] <+Alaric> ((are the remains of the inqusitor still there? ))
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[20:51] * +Mira_Atella thinks of a number correlating to the word, "If we're just trying things and there's numbers on the keyboard, 287425"
[20:51] * +Grendel` murmurs a prayer to the machine spirit and tries the number.
[20:51] <@BradGM> Nothing happens
[20:52] * +Elana frowns. 1"Try 'open'."
[20:52] <@BradGM> Nothing happens
[20:52] <+Alaric> "May I see the blade for a moment?"
[20:53] * +Grendel` glances over at the gun nun, but shrugs and tries it, before passing the blade over. "Be careful."
[20:54] * +Alaric takes the blade in hand, holding the handle. He closes his eyes and runs his ahnds slowly over it, feeling the shape of it and trying to match it to the picture they have seen.
[20:55] <@BradGM> It is not Atrial
[20:55] * +Alaric whispers a prayer and gently returns the blade. "Well, regardless of what we have found, we still have a mission."
[20:56] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow inside her helmet, "The one that we're currently working on accomplishing?"
[20:57] * +Alaric nods. "We also need ot find out what happened here, yes?"
[20:57] * +Grendel` shakes his head. "Just the blade."

[21:06] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:06] <@BradGM> Grendel, you think; it's not Atrial, yet the answer is Atrial; Atrial is part of a 5 Sword group known as the Hand of Drusus; now when you think of 'hand' and the number 5, what comes to mind?
[21:07] * +Grendel` types in the word Finger.
[21:07] <+Grendel`> Stupid norms. They're mechadendrites!
[21:07] <+Alaric> ((that's right, give the dead inquisitor the finger!))
[21:08] <@BradGM> The keybaord retracts inside. The cylinder slips open slowly as a powerful blue light emerges form the cylinder, your photo-visor protecting you from the flash. You see Atrial surrounded by a statis field who turns off the moment the cyllinder locks itself open.
[21:09] * +Elana reflexively shields her sight with the left hand, momentarily awed by the bright apparation.
[21:10] * +Grendel` excitedly splits his attention between the stasis field and the sword.
[21:10] * +Alaric cracks a smile as he reflexively flinches from the bright light. "Well done Grendel."
[21:11] * +Lazerus_Grim pats the Tech-Priest on the back and steps up, moving to grab the sword.
[21:12] * +Grendel` puses his examination of the sword and stasis field, before straightening up and staring at Lazarus.
[21:12] * +Mira_Atella adjusts the grip on her pistol, thinking this has gone a little too smoothly.
[21:13] <@BradGM> Grim..you take Atrial! You feel some odd feeling, almost spiritual, as you grab hold of it.
[21:14] <+Lazerus_Grim> "God-Emperor, we thank you for your guidance and bask in your glory. Please give us a safe trip out."
[21:14] <@BradGM> It is a well balanced sword, light as well; you can see it is a Power weapon.
[21:15] * +Elana gives the Mechanicus emissary a respectful nod as she steps closer to take a look at the artefact, finding herself momentarily robbed of speech as she lays her eyes on it.
[21:17] * +Alaric looks at the artifact in reverence for a long moment, before shaking his head and looking away. He doesn't wish to be caught off guard.
[21:17] * +Lazerus_Grim straps the sword to his back and nods to the door. "Shall we get off this hulk?"
[21:17] <+Grendel`> "Just a few moments."
[21:18] * +Grendel` wanders around to make sure that everything that can be recovered, is..bolt pistol, las pistol, decrepit power weapon...
[21:19] * +Alaric kneels before the remains and whispers a Prayer, bowing his head in honor, before standing and readying himself to move out.
[21:19] <+Mira_Atella> "We should get the ship to start coming in so we can meet them and not stick around.. we know there's something else here, I'd like to not stick around longer than necessary."
[21:21] <@BradGM> You take those Grendel; you will ahve to leave the ancient carapace armour behind, as it is too bulky to carry. You also find a micro-bead, a Geltstick with 23573 Thrones on it, Inquisitor Scarlet's Rosette a datasalde, an extra bolter clip, loaded with 8 bolts, 2 charge packs for the lasgun, 2 old mono-knifes. Everything must and should be serviced if it is to be used anytime soon.
[21:22] <@BradGM> Oh- and 3 fancy rings; 2 with skulls, one with the -I- symbol
[21:22] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((so just note that for now, we'll have Grendel service it and then divide it up between missions?))
[21:22] <+Elana> "I agree. As much as I dislike leaving this proud vessel tainted by whatever manner of creatures have taken refuge in its hold, Atrial remains our priority and nothing must delay our return."
[21:22] * +Alaric nods. "Indeed."
[21:22] <@BradGM> ((WEll, we'll see Grim))
[21:23] <@BradGM> ((it is inquisitor gear: you're jsut acolytes for the moment))
[21:23] <+Mira_Atella> "If we can get out from this level, it would be better than trying to carry all of this back down the shaft."
[21:23] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((the inquisition doesn't have to know....))
[21:23] <+Elana> ((you think so?))
[21:23] <+Alaric> ((HERESY! ))
[21:24] <+Alaric> ((The inquisition knows ALL!))
[21:24] * +Grendel` considers the rest of the group, trying to see if he can split the loot up in order to allow the carapace armor to be carried..then again, it isn't powered...
[21:24] <@BradGM> Grendel, do not you also have to carry the vox-caster down the lift shaft and back to the valkirye.É
[21:25] <+Alaric> ((Could I carry it? would mean not having gun in hand))
[21:26] <+Alaric> ((if not, oh well))
[21:26] <+Grendel`> ((yeah, hence why I want to use the others as pack mules))
[21:26] <@BradGM> ((Yeah; one person could carry it all, but can't fire weapons, and got a -20 to agilitybecasue it is carapace armour))
[21:26] * +Elana begins to move to the hole in the wall created by the insertion team, taking a look back at the others once reaching the passageway.
[21:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( What do they really need it for? They've got a whole armory back home ))
[21:27] <@BradGM> ((History of it makes it better))
[21:27] * +Alaric slings his hellgun, letting it hang on the straps as he gathers up the ancient armor.
[21:27] <@BradGM> ((and rare and mystical etc etc..))
[21:27] <+Elana> ((phht, they just wanna score with the squat))
[21:27] <+Alaric> "We will not leave anything behind. Mira, would you cover the back?"
[21:28] * +Alaric hefts the load and follows Elana out.
[21:28] * +Mira_Atella nods to Alaric. "Have fun climbing down the shaft with that thing."
[21:28] <+Grendel`> ((its a piece of the Emperor's Imperium, built with care by the Mechanicus, worn by a hero of the Imperium, able to be rescued after surviving centuries of floating in the void. Why would you not want to save it?))
[21:28] * +Elana pauses. 1"Surely you jest? We have Artial. Anything else will merely slow us down."
[21:28] <@BradGM> You pack the armour, weapons and gear. Only bone and rags remains.
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh she's getting pissed that any time she asks a question, no one answers lol ))
[21:30] * +Alaric chuckles. "I was thinking of using the rope myself." He looks to Elana. "If it becomes an issue and slows us down, than I will leave it. I understand the priority. But if it costs us little to bring, why would we leave blessed gear behind to be defiled?"
[21:30] <+Mira_Atella> "The rope only goes down about half way, so you'll still have an issue. Unless of course we can do like I said earlier, and try to get out from this level."
[21:31] * +Alaric nods. "We do have that melapaste..." He chuckles. "Kidding. But perhaps there is an airlock."
[21:31] <+Mira_Atella> "Did anyone bother to contact the ship?"
[21:32] * +Elana eyes the gathered pieces sceptically. 1"I would rather bring the Inquisitor's bones. The blade I can understand, but ... everything?"
[21:32] <@BradGM> ((the vox-caster is at the lift door))
[21:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( I thought he picked it up ))
[21:32] <+Alaric> ((hey, I asked about the remains.))
[21:32] <+Grendel`> "If there had been a airlock on this level we would've entered there."
[21:33] <@BradGM> ((nah he didn't; you guys elft it back at the lift last session, since it was 'safe to leave it there'))
[21:33] <+Alaric> ((afka min damnit))
[21:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( hmm I could swear he picked it up and said something nasty about us abusing the machine or something.. wonder where I'm getting that ))
[21:34] <+Grendel`> ((guilt?))
[21:35] <@BradGM> ((So picking up the bones?))
[21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( Hah I'm not crazy! ))
[21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( [21:59] * +Grendel picks up the vox, heading to a door. ))
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((it's 21:35 here...))
[21:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( Last time :P hehe ))
[21:36] * +Grendel` turns to Elana. "If you wish to bring the bones you are more than welcome to."

[23:25] <@BradGM> Grendel, the doors listen and the mechanicsm begins to clsoe the inner airlock door.

[23:30] <@BradGM> ((Trying to open both?))

[23:32] <+Alaric> ((I'm assuming 1/4 way down means only like 3 or 4 ft of clearance. not chancing that with my luck))

[23:33] * +Elana turns to the Arbitrator: 1"What do you have in mind? I can provide you with a krak-grenade."
[23:34] <+Alaric> "If we leave the outer door open, and they foolishly attempt to force the inner, they are stupid xenos, a nice hole can suck them all out into the void. Kill them all."
[23:34] <@BradGM> ((you can do something else while you talk y'know?))
[23:34] <+Mira_Atella> "Then I say we go with that."
[23:34] <@BradGM> ((it's not like they are not figin at you continually))
[23:34] <+Alaric> "Can someone rig that?"
[23:34] * +Mira_Atella fires through the closing door at the group.
[23:35] * +Grendel` communes with the machine spirit to see that if it can open the inner door one minute after the outer door opens, without first closing the outer door.
[23:35] <+Alaric> ((I'm not risking shooting through a narrow openning...you saw how I did with a grenade, in a nice open corridor.))
[23:35] <+Elana> ((teehee))
[23:35] <@BradGM> Grendel, the Spirit can't allow that; you'd need to 'hot-wire' it to do so
[23:35] * +Grendel` attempts to do so.
[23:36] <+Elana> "Perhaps the Tech-Priest can - I have not received any training in such matters yet."
[23:36] <@BradGM> Roll tech-use-30: you cna use your combi-tool; it should take you 2 rounds minimum

[23:39] <@BradGM> ((a door that's a quarter clsoed is NOT almost clsoed.))
[23:40] * +Grendel` comforts the machine spirit, but remains connected to make sure that the machine spirit opens the outer door when it can.
[23:40] <+Alaric> ((but 3-4 feet space should close long before they get there, unless the doors suddenly slow/stop))
[23:40] <@BradGM> ((where did I say ther was 3-4 ffet of oepning?))

As they move closer, a third of the Guest Quarters is blocked by a bric-à-brac wall of metal,wood and is horribly patchedwork. Searching the 4 quarters that were accessible proved fruitless, if only by some monetary gain, weapon and clothing of little value right now.
[20:20] <@BradGM> Aupex and Psychic powers forsee what was hidden behind the constructed wall; a multitude of small creatures. It was decided that burning through the wall with melta-paste was a safer alternative.
[20:20] <@BradGM> After spending half their reserves, the wall was breached; the room the last resting place of Inquisitor Ravia Scarlet, and Atrial locked in some golden cylinder with a push-release keyboard.

[20:22] * +Mira_Atella watches Grim and Grendel go over the message, giving them space as they decipher it.
[20:22] * +Alaric studies the room carefully, as he would any scene.
[20:23] * +Grendel` avoids glancing around to figure out how exactly our eyes are deceiving us. "The sword is many things."
[20:24] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:24] * +Elana eyes the inquisitive Acolytes going about their business, momentarily seeming to trust them with solving the riddle - though the Battle Sister's patience is visibly growing thinner by the minute. For the time being, her eyes wander towards the nearby surroundings.
[20:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Perhaps it is talking of some ultimate gain. Each of us has our own motives, a goal we are each working towards. Could it be thinking of that?"
[20:25] <@BradGM> The room is quite bare, short of the statis feidl in front of the door
[20:25] <+Alaric> "The holy blade, Atrial. Is that all it needs?"
[20:26] <+Grendel`> "Or the hand of St. Drusus."
[20:26] * +Elana groans in frustration. 1"Obviously it is not as simple. This vexes me - what kind of protection is at work here?"
[20:28] * +Grendel` looks over the case, studying the cylinder closely, as well as the keyboard.
[20:28] * +Mira_Atella mutters quietly, "For all we know it's gibberish to confuse us and it means nothing."
[20:29] <+Elana> "Perhaps ..." 6The armoured Sister takes a step closer to the ancient blade, eyeing it in thoughts.
[20:29] * +Alaric shrugs, and stands in front of the field, repeating the blade's name. "Just in case the simplest answer is the right one."
[20:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol you missed them doing this last week, it was funny then too ))
[20:30] * +Lazerus_Grim shifts his weight from one foot to the other, a puzzled look on his face. "Could it be another language?"
[20:30] <+Alaric> ((lol ah!))
[20:30] <@BradGM> Grendel, the keyboard is inside the cylinder; you'll have to push it to reveal it.
[20:30] * Chymos (~me@mo-71-51-217-217.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:32] * +Grendel` shrugs and pushes it.
[20:32] <+Alaric> "I know both High and Low Gothic...though I do not think that is the answer."
[20:32] <@BradGM> Grendel, a small keybaord slides out form the cylinder; got all the standard keys, if only smaller.

[20:37] * +Mira_Atella doesn't say a word, leaving the button pushing and tech work to those that understand it.
[20:38] * +Grendel` mutters a brief prayer and enters the name Atrial.
[20:38] <@BradGM> Nothing happens.
[20:39] * +Grendel` tries "The Hand of St. Drusus."
[20:39] <+Alaric> ((What is it's true/full name? lore roll or something?))
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((you know that already))
[20:40] <@BradGM> Grendel, after 6 keys, you cannot enter more information; and nothing happens
[20:41] * +Elana watches the Tech-Priests work expectantly.
[20:41] * +Grendel` straightens. "The password seems to be 6 letters wrong, unless the container was damaged by the warp."
[20:41] <@BradGM> ((To get what you seek, you must say what it is. Your eyes can deceived you; don't trust them))
[20:42] <@BradGM> ((more like the password got 6 letters in it grendel))

[20:43] <@BradGM> ((ah!..wasn't sure, so I wrote it just in case))
[20:43] <+Elana> "Six letters. Like Atrial"6, she states the obvious. 1"Does the machine spirit not respond to your query?"
[20:44] <+Alaric> ((we did that. also said that. least I think so))
[20:44] * +Grendel` shakes his head as he glances around, picking up the sheathed sword from the floor.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Grendel, the Sword is a Power weapon, which would require extensive prayers and care to see service again
[20:45] <@BradGM> It is not Atrial
[20:45] <+Mira_Atella> "If there are numerical keys maybe it wants a numerical value for the word?"
[20:46] <+Alaric> ((is this the room where we believed it to be stored?))
[20:46] * +Elana blinks shortly, having no mind for such games. 1"Is there another way to open the container?"
[20:46] <+Elana> ((it's the general area, iirc))
[20:46] <+Alaric> ((ok))
[20:46] <@BradGM> ((Well, remains of an Inquisitor as it's feet; door blcoked by ancient statis feild..I'd say it is))
[20:47] * +Alaric frowns. "Is there writing or information of some kind hidden on the blade or sheath?"
[20:48] * +Grendel` says a brief prayer for the weapon as he takes it from the sheath,studying them both.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Short of engraving of the Inquisition, there is no apparent coded or ntoe on either weapon or sheath; but both are worn out by time, so if there was soemthing it might no longer be there.
[20:50] * +Grendel` shakes his head. "Nothing that I can see."
[20:50] * +Grendel` studies the keys on the keyboard to see if they're in the standard place.
[20:50] <@BradGM> They are
[20:51] <+Alaric> ((are the remains of the inqusitor still there? ))
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[20:51] * +Mira_Atella thinks of a number correlating to the word, "If we're just trying things and there's numbers on the keyboard, 287425"
[20:51] * +Grendel` murmurs a prayer to the machine spirit and tries the number.
[20:51] <@BradGM> Nothing happens
[20:52] * +Elana frowns. 1"Try 'open'."
[20:52] <@BradGM> Nothing happens
[20:52] <+Alaric> "May I see the blade for a moment?"
[20:53] * +Grendel` glances over at the gun nun, but shrugs and tries it, before passing the blade over. "Be careful."
[20:54] * +Alaric takes the blade in hand, holding the handle. He closes his eyes and runs his ahnds slowly over it, feeling the shape of it and trying to match it to the picture they have seen.
[20:55] <@BradGM> It is not Atrial
[20:55] * +Alaric whispers a prayer and gently returns the blade. "Well, regardless of what we have found, we still have a mission."
[20:56] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow inside her helmet, "The one that we're currently working on accomplishing?"
[20:57] * +Alaric nods. "We also need ot find out what happened here, yes?"

[21:05] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[21:06] * Miria (~Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:06] <@BradGM> Grendel, you think; it's not Atrial, yet the answer is Atrial; Atrial is part of a 5 Sword group known as the Hand of Drusus; now when you think of 'hand' and the number 5, what comes to mind?
[21:07] * +Grendel` types in the word Finger.
[21:07] <+Grendel`> Stupid norms. They're mechadendrites!
[21:07] <+Alaric> ((that's right, give the dead inquisitor the finger!))
[21:08] <@BradGM> The keybaord retracts inside. The cylinder slips open slowly as a powerful blue light emerges form the cylinder, your photo-visor protecting you from the flash. You see Atrial surrounded by a statis field who turns off the moment the cyllinder locks itself open.
[21:09] * +Elana reflexively shields her sight with the left hand, momentarily awed by the bright apparation.
[21:10] * +Grendel` excitedly splits his attention between the stasis field and the sword.
[21:10] * +Alaric cracks a smile as he reflexively flinches from the bright light. "Well done Grendel."
[21:11] * +Lazerus_Grim pats the Tech-Priest on the back and steps up, moving to grab the sword.
[21:12] * +Grendel` puses his examination of the sword and stasis field, before straightening up and staring at Lazarus.
[21:12] * +Mira_Atella adjusts the grip on her pistol, thinking this has gone a little too smoothly.
[21:13] <@BradGM> Grim..you take Atrial! You feel some odd feeling, almost spiritual, as you grab hold of it.
[21:14] <+Lazerus_Grim> "God-Emperor, we thank you for your guidance and bask in your glory. Please give us a safe trip out."
[21:14] <@BradGM> It is a well balanced sword, light as well; you can see it is a Power weapon.
[21:15] * +Elana gives the Mechanicus emissary a respectful nod as she steps closer to take a look at the artefact, finding herself momentarily robbed of speech as she lays her eyes on it.
[21:17] * +Alaric looks at the artifact in reverence for a long moment, before shaking his head and looking away. He doesn't wish to be caught off guard.
[21:17] * +Lazerus_Grim straps the sword to his back and nods to the door. "Shall we get off this hulk?"
[21:17] <+Grendel`> "Just a few moments."
[21:18] * +Grendel` wanders around to make sure that everything that can be recovered, is..bolt pistol, las pistol, decrepit power weapon...
[21:19] * +Alaric kneels before the remains and whispers a Prayer, bowing his head in honor, before standing and readying himself to move out.
[21:19] <+Mira_Atella> "We should get the ship to start coming in so we can meet them and not stick around.. we know there's something else here, I'd like to not stick around longer than necessary."
[21:21] <@BradGM> You take those Grendel; you will ahve to leave the ancient carapace armour behind, as it is too bulky to carry. You also find a micro-bead, a Geltstick with 23573 Thrones on it, Inquisitor Scarlet's Rosette a datasalde, an extra bolter clip, loaded with 8 bolts, 2 charge packs for the lasgun, 2 old mono-knifes. Everything must and should be serviced if it is to be used anytime soon.
[21:22] <@BradGM> Oh- and 3 fancy rings; 2 with skulls, one with the -I- symbol
[21:22] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((so just note that for now, we'll have Grendel service it and then divide it up between missions?))
[21:22] <+Elana> "I agree. As much as I dislike leaving this proud vessel tainted by whatever manner of creatures have taken refuge in its hold, Atrial remains our priority and nothing must delay our return."
[21:22] * +Alaric nods. "Indeed."
[21:22] <@BradGM> ((WEll, we'll see Grim))
[21:23] <@BradGM> ((it is inquisitor gear: you're jsut acolytes for the moment))
[21:23] <+Mira_Atella> "If we can get out from this level, it would be better than trying to carry all of this back down the shaft."
[21:23] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((the inquisition doesn't have to know....))
[21:23] <+Elana> ((you think so?))
[21:23] <+Alaric> ((HERESY! ))
[21:24] <+Alaric> ((The inquisition knows ALL!))
[21:24] * +Grendel` considers the rest of the group, trying to see if he can split the loot up in order to allow the carapace armor to be carried..then again, it isn't powered...
[21:24] <@BradGM> Grendel, do not you also have to carry the vox-caster down the lift shaft and back to the valkirye.É
[21:25] <+Alaric> ((Could I carry it? would mean not having gun in hand))
[21:26] <+Alaric> ((if not, oh well))
[21:26] <+Grendel`> ((yeah, hence why I want to use the others as pack mules))
[21:26] <@BradGM> ((Yeah; one person could carry it all, but can't fire weapons, and got a -20 to agilitybecasue it is carapace armour))
[21:26] * +Elana begins to move to the hole in the wall created by the insertion team, taking a look back at the others once reaching the passageway.
[21:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( What do they really need it for? They've got a whole armory back home ))
[21:27] <@BradGM> ((History of it makes it better))
[21:27] * +Alaric slings his hellgun, letting it hang on the straps as he gathers up the ancient armor.
[21:27] <@BradGM> ((and rare and mystical etc etc..))
[21:27] <+Elana> ((phht, they just wanna score with the squat))
[21:27] <+Alaric> "We will not leave anything behind. Mira, would you cover the back?"
[21:28] * +Alaric hefts the load and follows Elana out.
[21:28] * +Mira_Atella nods to Alaric. "Have fun climbing down the shaft with that thing."
[21:28] <+Grendel`> ((its a piece of the Emperor's Imperium, built with care by the Mechanicus, worn by a hero of the Imperium, able to be rescued after surviving centuries of floating in the void. Why would you not want to save it?))
[21:28] * +Elana pauses. 1"Surely you jest? We have Artial. Anything else will merely slow us down."
[21:28] <@BradGM> You pack the armour, weapons and gear. Only bone and rags remains.
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh she's getting pissed that any time she asks a question, no one answers lol ))
[21:30] * +Alaric chuckles. "I was thinking of using the rope myself." He looks to Elana. "If it becomes an issue and slows us down, than I will leave it. I understand the priority. But if it costs us little to bring, why would we leave blessed gear behind to be defiled?"
[21:30] <+Mira_Atella> "The rope only goes down about half way, so you'll still have an issue. Unless of course we can do like I said earlier, and try to get out from this level."
[21:31] * +Alaric nods. "We do have that melapaste..." He chuckles. "Kidding. But perhaps there is an airlock."
[21:31] <+Mira_Atella> "Did anyone bother to contact the ship?"
[21:32] * +Elana eyes the gathered pieces sceptically. 1"I would rather bring the Inquisitor's bones. The blade I can understand, but ... everything?"
[21:32] <@BradGM> ((the vox-caster is at the lift door))
[21:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( I thought he picked it up ))
[21:32] <+Alaric> ((hey, I asked about the remains.))
[21:32] <+Grendel`> "If there had been a airlock on this level we would've entered there."
[21:33] <@BradGM> ((nah he didn't; you guys elft it back at the lift last session, since it was 'safe to leave it there'))
[21:33] <+Alaric> ((afka min damnit))
[21:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( hmm I could swear he picked it up and said something nasty about us abusing the machine or something.. wonder where I'm getting that ))
[21:34] <+Grendel`> ((guilt?))
[21:35] <@BradGM> ((So picking up the bones?))
[21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( Hah I'm not crazy! ))
[21:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( [21:59] * +Grendel picks up the vox, heading to a door. ))
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((it's 21:35 here...))
[21:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( Last time :P hehe ))
[21:36] * +Grendel` turns to Elana. "If you wish to bring the bones you are more than welcome to."
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((ahh..ok good then))

[21:40] * +Grendel` makes all the gear is packed up, makes sure nothing is going to float away or cause problem, and regrets that the stasis cylinder is too heavy to take with them.
[21:41] <+Alaric> ((Back))
[21:41] <@BradGM> You arrive at the lift.
[21:42] <@BradGM> It is 200 meters down to the Officer's Quarters, where there is an airlock.
[21:42] * +Mira_Atella slides her pistol securely in to place and gets ready to head back down the shaft.
[21:43] <@BradGM> There is the service ladder on the side that you can use; you jsut ahve to get down to it via a hole in the lift' floor.
[21:43] * +Alaric tkaes out the climbing gear and ties the load up before proceeding.
[21:44] * +Elana eyes the shaft before giving a quick nod as she discovers nothing unusual. 1"Shall we utilize the winch?"
[21:45] * +Alaric nods.

[22:52] <+Elana> "Xenos filth!"6, she calls out, immediately bringing her armoured body between the Acolytes and the oncoming creatures. With a quick motion she raises the boltgun and opens up with a double-tap.

[23:34] * +Mira_Atella fires through the closing door at the group.
[23:35] * +Grendel` communes with the machine spirit to see that if it can open the inner door one minute after the outer door opens, without first closing the outer door.
[23:35] <+Alaric> ((I'm not risking shooting through a narrow openning...you saw how I did with a grenade, in a nice open corridor.))
[23:35] <+Elana> ((teehee))
[23:35] <@BradGM> Grendel, the Spirit can't allow that; you'd need to 'hot-wire' it to do so
[23:35] * +Grendel` attempts to do so.
[23:36] <+Elana> "Perhaps the Tech-Priest can - I have not received any training in such matters yet."
[23:36] <@BradGM> Roll tech-use-30: you cna use your combi-tool; it should take you 2 rounds minimum
[23:36] <@BradGM> ((so only Mira fires while the rest of you are having polite conversation under a hial of bullets?))
[23:36] <+Alaric> ((heh))
[23:37] <+Grendel`> !perc 43 tech-use
[23:37] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls tech-use [ 43% (or Lower) : 04 84%, Fail ]
[23:37] <+Alaric> ((well...there's no tea...))
[23:37] <+Grendel`> ((fate!)
[23:37] <+Grendel`> !perc 43 tech-use
[23:37] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls tech-use [ 43% (or Lower) : 04 82%, Fail ]
[23:37] <+Grendel`> ((bah!))
[23:38] <@BradGM> Grendel; you know nothing of that system; beginning to alter it may be catastrophic.**
[23:38] <@BradGM> ((Grim, doing somehting?))
[23:38] <@BradGM> ((or jsut waiting to get mobbed by Gretchins?))
[23:38] <@BradGM> ((nad hope melee goes well?))
[23:39] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((just waiting for something to inevitably go wrong))
[23:39] <+Alaric> ((they are 100m away and door is almost closed, unless something has changed?))
[23:39] <@BradGM> ((a door that's a quarter clsoed is NOT almost clsoed.))
[23:40] * +Grendel` comforts the machine spirit, but remains connected to make sure that the machine spirit opens the outer door when it can.
[23:40] <+Alaric> ((but 3-4 feet space should close long before they get there, unless the doors suddenly slow/stop))
[23:40] <@BradGM> ((where did I say ther was 3-4 ffet of oepning?))
[23:41] <+Alaric> (( I _asked_ ))
[23:41] <+Alaric> ((Elana even laughed at me))
[23:41] <@BradGM> ((I only saw the I assume part.))
[23:41] <@BradGM> (I never said it was)_)
[23:41] <+Alaric> ((then perhaps you could tell us how big a space 1/4 actually is?))
[23:42] <@BradGM> ((yeah- thing is..it's alte.))
[23:42] <@BradGM> ((and sicne I arrived late this mroning, I kinda want to arriv eelarly tomorrow))
[23:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( big battle, next week! ))
