[20:19] <@BradGM> +++1805 Hours-Sibellus Time++
[20:19] <@BradGM> +++Grendel, Jon and Lyra began advancing into the duct when they fell into the sights of a pair of automated gun turrets. Jon bit the bullet before the combined firepower of his companions brought a quick end to this treat. Mira soon joined them, the mutants and Bowels too eager to begin their bartering than to risk venturing into a nest of gloom haunts.
[20:19] <@BradGM> With Grendel now opening the way, the Tech-Priest almost fell into a bottomless pit; another well hidden trap to eliminate any curious fool who managed to surpass the critters. As they reached a section of the duct where ancient maintenance stairs were located, Mockingbird fell into another mechanical deception.
[20:19] <@BradGM> The stairs gave way and while Lyra managed to hold onto Grendel, levitating with Maglev grace, and Mira activated her Eldar flip-belt, Jon slid down out of view to violently land into an exposed plastic-like cage suspended 10 meters in the air into a long forgotten maintenance area.
[20:19] <@BradGM> The Arbitrator noticed a camera system and a pair of gun turrets within sight, and a light source coming from a near-by, but out of sight source. but his wounds did not allow him to climb out of his predicament.
[20:19] <@BradGM> The cell soon joined him and took down the gun turrets, but not before Lyra suffered grievous wounds by gunfire and deadly plasma exhaust. With the Acolyte now on firm ground, Jon serious wounded and Lyra in no better shape, Mockingbird readies himself to trek forward.+++

[20:22] <Mira_Atella> "The mutants refused to come in with me. Smart for them. They've have made great fodder though." She looks around the area with her goggles on.
[20:24] * @Grendel finishes up, the stapler built into the medicae mechadendrite binding the wounds before they're bandaged.
[20:24] <@BradGM> It is an sub-section of a maintnance area, you see ancient cog-engine long offline, covered in a heavy coat fo dust..yet it seems that soemone or something did some whiping judging by the marks, as if someone opened them up to do Emperor-knows-what...get parts? Try to reactivate the spirit within? Hard to say.
[20:24] * @Grendel moves over, studying the machine, attempting to tell just what it is.

[20:29] <@BradGM> It appears the be an ancient enviromental control system Grendel, similar, if onyl quite ancient-therefore better, than anything found higher in the Hive City; it reminds you of vitae system onbaord ancient battlecruisers. Jon, the turrets are 'simple' two autoguns arranged in a twin-linked combinason to maximise the saturation effect in an given area. They appear to have been connected to another system, judging by the wires, and lokoing at the bullet, the head apepars to be similar, but different from your standard manstopper rounds, oh it can cut throught armour, but with your wounds, you know it also share similarities with the illegal expander rounds.
[20:30] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can detect/see that someone removed part of the cog engine for reasons unknown...in fact most machine close to you seems to ahve suffered terh same fate.
[20:30] * @Grendel utters quiet binaric hymms and praises to the Omnissiah, changing to binaric outrage as he sees the desecration of the machine.

[20:34] <@BradGM> You check the usual place for a serial number and see none; furthermore you do not see the tell-tale sign of black amrket guns (filed serial number) It appears those rifles were either taken off the production chain before being numerized, or they were made in some illegal shop somehwere but a competent gunmsith; it does bear ressemblance to the standar Justicar autogun, common in any strate of Sibellus society.

[20:38] <@Grendel> "More Heresy." Grendel says, as he turns and looks towards the light and hopefully exit that he saw earlier.
[20:39] <Mira_Atella> "Not surprising, really."
[20:39] <Jon_Wake> Does the Arbite have their own facotries on planet?
[20:40] <@BradGM> Nope; they either get their gear from well known manbufacturers or directly from the Mechanicus.
[20:40] <@BradGM> mostly from gunmetal city, which is basically a giant gunsmitting town where the gun is king and money is actually bullets
[20:43] <Jon_Wake> "They look to be the same stock as our weapons" Jon refers to the arbite
[20:43] <@BradGM> The light appears to be your standard white tone light, quite common in Hive Worlds for it's similarities to sunlgiht, minus actually tinting the skin

Jon bit the bullet before the combined firepower of his companions brought a quick end to this treat. Mira soon joined them, the mutants and Bowels too eager to begin their bartering than to risk venturing into a nest of gloom haunts.
[20:19] <@BradGM> With Grendel now opening the way, the Tech-Priest almost fell into a bottomless pit; another well hidden trap to eliminate any curious fool who managed to surpass the critters. As they reached a section of the duct where ancient maintenance stairs were located, Mockingbird fell into another mechanical deception.
[20:19] <@BradGM> The stairs gave way and while Lyra managed to hold onto Grendel, levitating with Maglev grace, and Mira activated her Eldar flip-belt, Jon slid down out of view to violently land into an exposed plastic-like cage suspended 10 meters in the air into a long forgotten maintenance area.
[20:19] <@BradGM> The Arbitrator noticed a camera system and a pair of gun turrets within sight, and a light source coming from a near-by, but out of sight source. but his wounds did not allow him to climb out of his predicament.
