[20:32] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Men United in The Purpose of The Emperor are Blessed in His Light+++
[20:32] <@BradGM> +++Location; Mockingbird Cell Quarters 346GH7.4, Tricorn, Hive Sibellus, Scintilla. +++
[20:32] <@BradGM> +++0902 Hours-Sibellus Time++
[20:32] <@BradGM> +++Two Standard Terran Year passed since the completion of the Gloom Haunt investigation. Numerous Nobles were arrested, the Arbites and the Inquisition, with little or no explanation, seized their assets. What little that did filter out was hushed mention of Heretical dealings, and well to do people knew well to not push the questions for long. Others were killed in rather gruesome ways, cut inside their own domains, alongside their house guards with no apparent thievery committed.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Few raises connection to the Yulp murder but official sources within the Scintillan Protectorate, the Lucid Palace and the Arbites were quick to deny that, citing (illegal) deals gone wrong and the usual Vendettas the nobility enjoy having to battle their ennui.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Mockingbird during that time, expanded his capabilities;
[20:32] <@BradGM> ; Grendel took steps to be ever closer to the Omnissiah, shunning his weak emotions for more cold, silicon logic;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Lyra was chosen to undertake the gruelling training regime of the Schola Progenium Storm Trooper;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Mira learned of her lineage and undertook her tutelage under Inquisitor Jex to become his Interrogator;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Jon suddenly found himself being call upon to act as commanding officer in numerous actions, rising to the rank of Judge.
[20:33] <@BradGM> A call came one day; Inquisitor Jex demands your immediate presence at the Tricron. Arriving there, you are taken by a senior adept to your new quarters higher into the structure.
[20:33] <@BradGM> . Much more spacious than before, with plasteel windows giving away to the sky above, quality furniture and food (including a fine choice of liquors from the sector), vox-pict with all the channels, secure vox-lines to the outside, a bigger workstation with a wider choice of tools and parts, a small one-room chapel, sparring room and, something new, private bedrooms for each one of you.
[20:33] <@BradGM> It has been 3 days since you arrived.+++
[20:33] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:34] * +Mira_Atella feels glad she didn't wear her official clothing, seeing as she probably couldn't fit through the door.
[20:35] <@BradGM> Lazerus is there, making breakfast for everyone. Demon is having his belly warmed up by the morning sun.
[20:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( I did want to ask.. keeping track of money at this point is kind of pointless, yeah? ))
[20:36] * +Lyra_ checks on weapons storage space
[20:36] <@BradGM> ((Yeah sicne you all make 11K/month really))
[20:36] * +Mira_Atella keeps quiet as she sees some of them for the first time in a while, some as long as 2 years.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Lyra, there's enough space for your own personnal weapons and perhaps 2-3 extra.
[20:37] * +Lyra_ has more visible muscles and moves with more grace than she used to
[20:38] * +Jonatan_Wake had immediately found the wet bar at their arrival of the new base of operation, but over the last few days been checking the flat's security to his oen personal liking, and doing other work in his room for most of the stay. He is at the table enjoying a large mug of recaf with some Arbite related slogan on the front
[20:39] <@BradGM> Lazerus alsog ave you each a coded securirty card to gain access to your new quarters
[20:40] <@BradGM> ((Keep calm and loads buckshot))
[20:41] * +Mira_Atella takes the card and slides it in a pocket, looking at Laz. "How is Demon? I wanted to visit him more, but.. you know how it is."
[20:41] <@BradGM> Lazerus also seems different; while Mira and Grendel still ahve an uneasy feeling toward him, Lyra and Jon are getting soem sort of 'kind and friendly grandpa' vibe form him.
[20:41] <@BradGM> ((using him supa powas))
[20:42] <@BradGM> Lazerus "Of course....he's quite well, thought I must admit I did spend numerous months with my order to perfect my fighting abilites and force my weapon, so he didn't not ahve time to play as much as he'd wanted to."
[20:43] * +Grendel arrives...its doubtful he could've gotten any bigger than he was before, but his steps are just as ponderous. His armor, when glimpsed under his red Mechanicus robes seems to have been redone...better fitting and more ornate, with mathematical proofs and prayers of protection to the Omnissiah inscribed nearly invisibly into the plates providiing protection. It doesn't seem like he's
[20:43] * +Grendel gained anymore mechadendrites, but what's to say is really under the robe?
[20:44] * +Mira_Atella gives a single nod to Grendel, but nothing else, moving around to take in the new space.
[20:44] <@BradGM> ((BRB, gonna put my clothes in the sdryer))
[20:44] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Thank you" Jon gininuely thanked the psyker as he took the security card. Over the last 2 years, Jon had been put through the Inquisition's vigous training to be taken as a ture agent, and now no longer has to be led around by an excort.
[20:45] <+Grendel> ((Jon gets escorts for other reasons now!))
[20:48] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Hehe))
[20:49] * +Jonatan_Wake has remained largely unchanged since the last time mockingbird has seen him, but he seemed a bit sharper in his actions
[20:50] <+Grendel> The other big change with Grendel of course is the Omnissian Axe he sports, rather than the power sword....
[20:51] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Thoough probably as likely to hit something with it as his sword...))
[20:51] * +Lyra_ doesn't have any clearly visible changes in her guns
[20:51] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol it was way too easy to do this, but I had to... Brad... http://www.customink.com/designs/dh/ndm0-0011-3bhj/hotlink?pc=HL-76683&cm_mmc=hotlink-_-3-_-Body_img-_-designfront ))
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((ha nice one))
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((with an extra =I+ and a reticule, very good))
[20:52] <@BradGM> after you're all served, Lazerus cooks up an extra palte that he puts at an empty chair on the table
[20:52] <@BradGM> He goes back and eats up another serving
[20:53] * Concrete (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[20:53] * @Elttaes (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[20:54] * +Mira_Atella slides her hood all of the way off her head and leans on a nearby wall with her shoulder.
[20:55] <+Lyra_> "So, does anyone know why we've been called up here today?"
[20:55] <@BradGM> He fills his plate but goes to the door instead and opens it up, where Inquisitor Jex and the ever faithful Captain Rothers enters "Mockingbird, you are complete yet again!"
[20:56] <@BradGM> ((holy crap, perfdct timing, thanks lyra!))
[20:56] * +Lyra_ blinks and wonders if Inquisitor Jex is a psyker
[20:56] * +Jonatan_Wake stands up and salutes the Inquisitor
[20:56] * Concrete is now known as elttsea
[20:56] * elttsea is now known as Elttaes
[20:57] * +Grendel turns his head, examining the Inquisitor.
[20:57] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Elttaes
[20:57] * +Mira_Atella pushes off from the wall and stands straight, her arms crossing in front of her.
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "At ease, Judge Wake."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex sits down and begins eating the warm breakfast "Delicious as always Lazerus...Now, to answer the reason of your return."
[20:58] <@BradGM> Jex "I have been follwing your pregresion, all of you. I am pleased with what I am seeing, and belevies now it time to deploy you in your most dangerous and important mission to date."
[20:59] <@BradGM> ((*progresion))
[20:59] <+Grendel> "The Omnissiah provides."
[21:01] <@BradGM> Jex "Have you may know, we have struck agaisnt members of the Beasts House in these last years; while there is a far off chacne that the organisation can be stopped, it has suffered a major setback in Hive Sibellus. Now the next step os to go after the provider of beasts and Xenos for the fighting pit, specifically, Augustus von Gould."
[21:03] * +Mira_Atella tightens the hold on an item in her hand.
[21:03] <+Lyra_> "That sounds promising."
[21:03] * +Jonatan_Wake nods
[21:05] <@BradGM> Jex "The main problem here, is that von Gould himself ahve not set foot in Imperium space for close to a century. He hides wthin the Koronus expanse, out of our jurisdiction, doing Emperor-knows-what! If his past dealings within the Iperium is anything to go by, it si less than pious deeds he is acomplishing."
[21:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Hence, you must travel within the Koronus Expanse, capture von Gould and bring him back for judgement."
[21:09] <+Mira_Atella> "If bringing him back alive isn't an option, is his death to be allowed?"
[21:10] <@BradGM> Jex "..With proof.. physicalIt has been 3 days since you arrived.+++
[21:10] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[21:10] <@BradGM> proof."
[21:10] <@BradGM> ((dammit))
[21:10] <@BradGM> Jex "with rpoof...Physical proof."
[21:10] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[21:12] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Will we be provided with any resourses?"
[21:12] <@BradGM> Jex "The Emperor's light has yet to come to the Koronus Expance, so your autority as Throne Agent might be unknown, ignored or even ridiculed. This place is the domain of Rogue Traders, pirates, chaos fiends and Xenos...Having allies might be a good step to take, usinga rogue Trader to travel may also conceal your activites a bit better."
[21:13] * +Grendel starts his cogitator engine correlating his knowledge of the Kronus expanse.
[21:14] <+Lyra_> "Sounds like fun."
[21:15] <@BradGM> Jex "An inqusition viper class corvette is awaiting at Scintilla Prime to take you to Port Wander. From there, I do not have enough power and influence to secure your with a ship tot ake you beyond the Imperium's borders."
[21:17] <+Mira_Atella> "That should be manageable."
[21:18] <@BradGM> Jex "I do recommend caution. The Expance is a hive of scum and villany where they can operate from and to with little offical interference. The Inquisition is, unfortunatley, a target in that 'free' region."
[21:21] <+Grendel> !dhroll 58
[21:21] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 4 Success by 5 degrees!
[21:24] <@BradGM> Jex "You should steel yourselves for the journey ahead. Do not trust anyone, especially those Rogue Traders; They may be acting on behalf of the Emperor and the Imperium, they are nothing more than legalised scum who would sell their own mother if it cann allow them to gather another priceless trinklet."
[21:25] <+Grendel> ((What, you mean to say all the Rogue Traders aren't Inquisitors in disguise?))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((nope))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((sorry))
[21:26] <@BradGM> Jex "Also..Mira, do cmoe here."
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella steps towards him.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "You have learned well, Acolyte. Hence, I grant you the title of Interrogator. You have my support to act as my Right Hand. Furthermore... *He takes from under his heavy coat a small item, shaped in a stylised column with a skull wihtin its center.* I give you this rosette, to solidify my trust in you and to prove that you are acting with my full autority."
[21:32] <@BradGM> He extendes it toward you, but as you go to take it, his hands moves bakc a little "Be mindful that this is NOT to be used to procure yourself simple pleasure or to satisfy some passing need. This is for when everythign else failed and the time for discretion is over."
[21:32] <+Mira_Atella> "Thank you." She takes the rosette and looks at it for a few moments. "He won't know what hit him."
[21:33] * +Mira_Atella nods. "I understand."
[21:34] <@BradGM> As you take it, it lights up in a bright red limunation.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Jex "i have taken the liberty to add your genetic information to it; it shall lid up when you, and you alone, wield it."
[21:37] * +Mira_Atella nods again, thinking to herself the shape and weight not being too dissimilar to the object in her other hand, a rather beat up looking throwing weapon still somewhat resembling its gloom haunt shape.
[21:38] * +Grendel uploads the data he has on the Kronus expanse to those with dataslates. Though its scrubbed data. Figure anything negatively involving the Adeptus Mechanicus and stuff like the Great Crusade/Horus Heresy is removed.
[21:38] <+Grendel> (( http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Koronus_Expanse ))
[21:39] <@BradGM> *Jex finishes his meal, whiping himself with a serviette. "Do not fail me, Mockingbird, I'd hate to think I've wasted time and ressources upon all of you."
[21:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((A hive of scum an villainly, basicly))
[21:40] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[21:41] <@BradGM> He gets up "I left the details of your escort to Port Wander with Lazerus. If there is anything else, then I will let you go."
[21:42] * +Grendel adds the data to his cogitator. "No further questions."
[21:43] <+Jonatan_Wake> "None shall excape the arms of the Law"
[21:43] * +Mira_Atella places the items in her hands in to her case, taking her slate out to review the information.
[21:44] <@BradGM> Jex "Then, Emperor Protects you, Mockingbird." *He turns and leaves, Captain Rothers in tow. Lazerus cleans the empty plate and produces a dataslate. "Here is the infomration on the corvette, Drusus's Arm."
[21:45] * +Grendel articulates his thanks in binary and accepts the dataslate.
[21:47] <@BradGM> Drusus' Arm is a Viper class corvette, only 500 meters in length, lightly armed and armoured, but quite fast and maneuvrable. It has a rather low crew number (7500 to 9000) makes it the smallest vessle of the Imperial Navy, and a good ship for the Inquisition as well.
[21:49] * +Grendel uploads the data and passes the slate around.
[21:49] * +Mira_Atella reads over it as more information is uploaded.
[21:50] * +Jonatan_Wake reads through the slate before passing it on
[21:52] <@BradGM> The slate details where it is docked and what codes is needed to access the docking station and subsequent vessel.
[21:53] * +Grendel considers the materials he'll need.
[21:54] <+Grendel> "When do we leave, Interrogator?"
[21:55] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Considering the unexplored nature of the expanse, we should aquire survival gear"
[21:55] <+Jonatan_Wake> *Jon recomended*
[21:56] <+Mira_Atella> "Everyone should gather what they need. I'm going to see what contacts Bradon may be able to offer, or if he may go with us."
[21:57] <+Mira_Atella> "This won't be a short trip. We'll need someone with his skills on a regular basis, without having to depend on who we can find at the time."
[21:57] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Do any of us actually have the survival skill?))
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( Psh.. who needs that? :P ))
[21:58] <+Grendel> ((not me...))
[21:58] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((I don't))
[21:59] <+Lyra_> (I do!))
[21:59] * +Lyra_ makes a list of gear she expects they'll need
[21:59] <+Grendel> ((and this is why we have Lyra instead of a combat servitor))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((hehe))
[22:00] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((MIra will be eat alive by bugs, Grendel will get stuck in quicksand, and Jon will somehow get attacked by a Catachan face eater, but Lyra will be fine))
[22:03] <+Mira_Atella> "Do keep in mind the paperwork that goes along with the items you are going to need and plan your time accordingly. One i not dotted or a t crossed and he'll make you start over."
[22:04] <+Lyra_> "I figured I could hand the list to you or Grendel to type out nicely."
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((ok, so taking what?))
[22:06] <+Mira_Atella> (( Nothing just yet for Mira, she's has chatting to do with Bradon and possibly Jex before getting that stuff sorted ))
[22:07] <+Grendel> ((Well, some sort of survival kits, and uh. I'm not sure what else Grendel needs...))
[22:07] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Get at least one Calixis Survival Kit. Although they
[22:08] <+Jonatan_Wake> are average rarity and you could probably buy one off the street))
[22:08] <+Lyra_> ((water purification gear, recharger, medkits for everyone, tents, flashlights, antitoxins...))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((survival kit sounds pretty much that, plsu the tents))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((and a medkit))
[22:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( Some extras of course for some sure to happen bad rolls that break a few ))
[22:10] <@BradGM> ((well, wiht the moeny uyou ahve you can get them easy, no need to roll))
[22:10] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((A Poi-Savant, maybe? It detects poisons in stuff (and I'm not sure if an auspex can do that))))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((an aupex can, but you got to actually calibrate it to do so..))
[22:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( I meant usage rolls, where we roll badly and break the kit heh ))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((ah ok))
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( plenty of stummers ))
[22:12] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((get two for Grendel))
[22:12] <+Grendel> ((heh))
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh I thought a lot more than that. Doesn't seem like this is going to be a short trip ))
[22:13] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Void suits too))
[22:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( yeah, definitely those ))
[22:13] <+Grendel> ((Long trip yeah, but alot of it is going to be on void ships, not traipsing along on in a jungle))
[22:14] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((And maybe a charm or two, because clearly we need the Emperor's blessing on this one))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((heh))
[22:14] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Survival isn't just useful in the jungle, and any bonus to it will be welcomed))
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((Well, all depends also on how you'll go about in the koronus expanse.))
[22:15] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((I presume that everyone has some kind of rebreather/Gas mask))
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( newp, but it's on my list ))
[22:18] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Ya know I should probably put a glow lamp in my inventory. It's abundant, it's impossible not to get))
[22:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( I was thinking that a few minutes ago, then saw someone said flashlight.. figured glow lamp would fall in to that ))
[22:19] <@BradGM> ((Well, that or just get phot-contacts and hae dark sight all the time..))
[22:19] <@BradGM> ((photo-contacts))
[22:20] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((They are scarse, aren't they. I'll take both, just in case))
[22:21] <@BradGM> ((no prob))
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((so, survivla kits for everyone, rebreather for mira, photo-contacts and flashlights, tents, stummers...))
[22:24] * +Jonatan_Wake looks over to grendel "Is there perhaps in contacts in the Expanse that you know"
[22:24] <+Lyra_> ((Stormtrooper helmet comes with that, right?))
[22:24] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Void suits))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((Lyra: yes))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((void suits..ok))
[22:25] * +Grendel considers if he has any contacts in the expanse.
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((no, your contact in ins the Lathes.))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Didn't think so))
[22:27] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((I didn't mean litteral Contacts, just if he had any buds out there))
[22:28] * +Grendel activates his communication protocols and shakes his head. "I do not believe so. There is Mechanicum presence, but I do not know any of the Adepts personally."
[22:29] <+Mira_Atella> "That's another reason I want to speak with Bradon about going with us. He may have contacts that would benefit us."
[22:30] <+Grendel> "Of course, Interrogator."
[22:31] * +Jonatan_Wake slightly frowns at that "Unforetunately, I may have even less than that. The Inquisitor is right when he says the place is lawless. Arbite presense will extend, at best, to Port Wonder"
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> "Something to start getting used to.. not calling one another by titles. It could do more harm than good depending on where we are."
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((aww..))
[22:33] <+Lyra_> "Like anyone's going to believe Grendel is *not* part of the Mechanus?"
[22:33] <+Jonatan_Wake> "we could pass him off as a servitor"
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[22:34] * +Grendel turns and stares at the Judge. "Unlikely."
[22:34] <+Lyra_> "That's worse. Servitors don't just hang around. They're always with techpriests or techmarines if they're not with Mechanus."
[22:34] <+Mira_Atella> "They can assume what they will, but no need to back up their theories. As Jex said, our positions may not serve us at all when we are out there."
[22:35] * elttsea (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[22:35] <+Grendel> "It would not be unusual for a Tech-Priest to be traveling."

[22:35] <+Lyra_> "Sure, but that means they'd suspect one of us to be the tech-priest."
[22:38] <@BradGM> ((Oh- while the koronus expanse is lawless, there are still island of Imperial presence ehre and there, so you would still have some autority there; keep in ind as well that rogue Traders are on equal footing with Inquisitors as peers of the Imperium, like Admirals, Lord-Militants and Space Marines chapter masters...hence influecne bing important))
[22:38] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Either way, we should avoid bringing attention to ourselves. Bring a few spare clothing for disguises"
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((or a disguise kit))
[22:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Well, yes))
[22:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( Have several of those still heh ))
[22:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((to both statements))
[22:42] <+Grendel> "Perhaps at Port Wander we will be able to get some information on Gould's vessel."
[22:43] <@BradGM> VesselS: you ealnred eariler that von Gould ahve a small flotilla of vessels, from combat vessles to merchant ships.
[22:44] <@BradGM> Imperial estimes gives him a dozen veseels of different classes, 4 being merchatn class; one being drydocked by the Inquisiton.
[22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "Possibly. The one we have has been documented well enough it could help it recognizing more. Even if they are all different ships, a similarity would most likely exist."
[22:46] <+Grendel> ((oh well, that could prove problematic...))
[22:48] * elttsea (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[22:49] <+Grendel> "I recommend seeing about the equipment then."
[22:49] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Where is that ship currently?
[22:50] <@BradGM> Sealed in drydock in a forbidden section on Scintilla Prime.
[22:51] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((And I presume they know it was taken. No sneaking it in))
[22:52] * +Grendel checks to see if any usable data has been gathered from the ship
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((yes, since it dind't came back, and no self respecting RT wouldn't ahve contacts in the Imperium, legal or otherwise))
[22:53] <@BradGM> You would have access to the ship logs and a general location of where ti went into the Expanse, yes. but what is waiting there? hard to know.
[22:56] <+Grendel> ((but no favorite routes inside the expanse))
[22:56] <+Grendel> ((Brb))
[22:57] * Elttaes (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[23:00] <@BradGM> ((There is a few yes, but since the warp isa fickle thing, it is a general 'go in that direction go out at this place' and hope the warp hasn't mutated into something else along the way))

[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[23:03] <@BradGM> ((so all done with the gear? Mira, you wanted tot alk to Bradon?))
[23:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yeah ))
[23:04] <@BradGM> Bradon is still at the munitorium D, working the main counter. At this time, he appears to be between waves of acolytes requestiong gear.
[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> "I'm going to the munitorium to speak with Bradon, if anyone feels ready to do their paperwork." She pulls her hood back up before walking to the door.
[23:06] <+Grendel> ((Oh. I assumed she was doing it for all of us? :) ))
[23:06] <+Lyra_> "If one of you is willing to help me write it up?"
[23:06] <+Jonatan_Wake> "I will" Jon offers
[23:06] <+Lyra_> "Thanks."

[23:11] <@BradGM> You all filled the paoerwrok expectly and have all the requested gear you asked.
[23:11] * +Jonatan_Wake writes out the paperwork with his usual skill, even doing slightly better for Lyra's, despite not knowing key data about her (like, you know, her ID or her last name)

[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( acolyte thongs... scary ))
[23:14] <@BradGM> Bradon is there, at his counter, typing at his cog-engine. He grins when you show up in his view "Hey Mira, how's the courses going?"
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((sees acolyte thong..puts hand on power maul..so wrong))
[23:15] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((not that kind of thong :P))
[23:16] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh throng maybe? ))
[23:16] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Yes, that))
[23:17] * +Mira_Atella grins at Bradon and leans on the counter, "The old guy must be losing his mind, he made me a full on Interrogator."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Bradon "Ha! Well, he must be going crazy, or he's got some crazy schemes 20 steps ahead of it planned."
[23:18] <@BradGM> Bradon "but since you're not going for the door, I suppose you need some gear?"
[23:18] <+Jonatan_Wake> (Jex, confirmed for Tzeench)
[23:18] <+Mira_Atella> "With all the things he's told me since I started the training, it wouldn't at all surprise me."
[23:19] <+Mira_Atella> "Yeah, but I had a question about something else too."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Bradon "Shoot."
[23:21] <+Mira_Atella> "We're going to be gone for a while. A pretty long while more than likely. Our gear is going to get utterly destroyed and you know I'd hate to return things to you that haven't been taken care of.. So.. If I managed to get them to agree to it, would you consider going with us? Not just your skills, but you know people and that never stops being useful." She tries to give the best pouty face she can.

[23:30] <+Grendel> ((Its a good thing Grendel's in his workshop :) ))
[23:30] * +Mira_Atella nods and chuckles, "Well I had to ask. But... no complaining if the gear comes back beat to hell."
[23:31] <@BradGM> Bradon "Well, try not too, but I did saw your clearage got upped a month or so back, so it'll be covered in case of loss in the field...just please, don't go for it even if there's no consequences?"
[23:33] <+Mira_Atella> "If I stay alive by leaving a gun behind.. you can bet the gun is being left behind." She punches his shoulder just a bit and hands over the paperwork she did, "Everyone else's should be in there too."
[23:34] <@BradGM> He send the paperwork backward and a few of his squats move about to gather the requested gear
[23:34] <@BradGM> Bradon "Well, said like that, it's a reasonable loos then."
[23:34] * +Grendel makes sure everything is in its place in the workshop and heads out to pick up his gear.
[23:35] <@BradGM> it takes 10 minutes or so before a squat with a small chariot arrives withi everything you requested.

[20:32] <@BradGM> +++0902 Hours-Sibellus Time++
[20:32] <@BradGM> +++Two Standard Terran Year passed since the completion of the Gloom Haunt investigation. Numerous Nobles were arrested, the Arbites and the Inquisition, with little or no explanation, seized their assets. What little that did filter out was hushed mention of Heretical dealings, and well to do people knew well to not push the questions for long. Others were killed in rather gruesome ways, cut inside their own domains, alongside their house guards with no apparent thievery committed.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Few raises connection to the Yulp murder but official sources within the Scintillan Protectorate, the Lucid Palace and the Arbites were quick to deny that, citing (illegal) deals gone wrong and the usual Vendettas the nobility enjoy having to battle their ennui.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Mockingbird during that time, expanded his capabilities;
[20:32] <@BradGM> ; Grendel took steps to be ever closer to the Omnissiah, shunning his weak emotions for more cold, silicon logic;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Lyra was chosen to undertake the gruelling training regime of the Schola Progenium Storm Trooper;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Mira learned of her lineage and undertook her tutelage under Inquisitor Jex to become his Interrogator;
[20:33] <@BradGM> Jon suddenly found himself being call upon to act as commanding officer in numerous actions, rising to the rank of Judge.
[20:33] <@BradGM> A call came one day; Inquisitor Jex demands your immediate presence at the Tricron. Arriving there, you are taken by a senior adept to your new quarters higher into the structure.
[20:33] <@BradGM> . Much more spacious than before, with plasteel windows giving away to the sky above, quality furniture and food (including a fine choice of liquors from the sector), vox-pict with all the channels, secure vox-lines to the outside, a bigger workstation with a wider choice of tools and parts, a small one-room chapel, sparring room and, something new, private bedrooms for each one of you.

[20:34] * +Mira_Atella feels glad she didn't wear her official clothing, seeing as she probably couldn't fit through the door.
[20:35] <@BradGM> Lazerus is there, making breakfast for everyone. Demon is having his belly warmed up by the morning sun.
[20:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( I did want to ask.. keeping track of money at this point is kind of pointless, yeah? ))
[20:36] * +Lyra_ checks on weapons storage space
[20:36] <@BradGM> ((Yeah sicne you all make 11K/month really))
[20:36] * +Mira_Atella keeps quiet as she sees some of them for the first time in a while, some as long as 2 years.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Lyra, there's enough space for your own personnal weapons and perhaps 2-3 extra.
[20:37] * +Lyra_ has more visible muscles and moves with more grace than she used to
[20:38] * +Jonatan_Wake had immediately found the wet bar at their arrival of the new base of operation, but over the last few days been checking the flat's security to his oen personal liking, and doing other work in his room for most of the stay. He is at the table enjoying a large mug of recaf with some Arbite related slogan on the front
[20:39] <@BradGM> Lazerus alsog ave you each a coded securirty card to gain access to your new quarters
[20:40] <@BradGM> ((Keep calm and loads buckshot))
[20:41] * +Mira_Atella takes the card and slides it in a pocket, looking at Laz. "How is Demon? I wanted to visit him more, but.. you know how it is."
[20:41] <@BradGM> Lazerus also seems different; while Mira and Grendel still ahve an uneasy feeling toward him, Lyra and Jon are getting soem sort of 'kind and friendly grandpa' vibe form him.
[20:41] <@BradGM> ((using him supa powas))
[20:42] <@BradGM> Lazerus "Of course....he's quite well, thought I must admit I did spend numerous months with my order to perfect my fighting abilites and force my weapon, so he didn't not ahve time to play as much as he'd wanted to."
[20:43] * +Grendel arrives...its doubtful he could've gotten any bigger than he was before, but his steps are just as ponderous. His armor, when glimpsed under his red Mechanicus robes seems to have been redone...better fitting and more ornate, with mathematical proofs and prayers of protection to the Omnissiah inscribed nearly invisibly into the plates providiing protection. It doesn't seem like he's
[20:43] * +Grendel gained anymore mechadendrites, but what's to say is really under the robe?
[20:44] * +Mira_Atella gives a single nod to Grendel, but nothing else, moving around to take in the new space.
[20:44] <@BradGM> ((BRB, gonna put my clothes in the sdryer))
[20:44] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Thank you" Jon gininuely thanked the psyker as he took the security card. Over the last 2 years, Jon had been put through the Inquisition's vigous training to be taken as a ture agent, and now no longer has to be led around by an excort.
[20:45] <+Grendel> ((Jon gets escorts for other reasons now!))
[20:48] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Hehe))
[20:49] * +Jonatan_Wake has remained largely unchanged since the last time mockingbird has seen him, but he seemed a bit sharper in his actions
[20:50] <+Grendel> The other big change with Grendel of course is the Omnissian Axe he sports, rather than the power sword....
[20:51] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Thoough probably as likely to hit something with it as his sword...))

[20:55] <+Lyra_> "So, does anyone know why we've been called up here today?"
[20:55] <@BradGM> He fills his plate but goes to the door instead and opens it up, where Inquisitor Jex and the ever faithful Captain Rothers enters "Mockingbird, you are complete yet again!"
[20:56] <@BradGM> ((holy crap, perfdct timing, thanks lyra!))
[20:56] * +Lyra_ blinks and wonders if Inquisitor Jex is a psyker
[20:56] * +Jonatan_Wake stands up and salutes the Inquisitor
[20:56] * Concrete is now known as elttsea
[20:56] * elttsea is now known as Elttaes
[20:57] * +Grendel turns his head, examining the Inquisitor.
[20:57] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Elttaes
[20:57] * +Mira_Atella pushes off from the wall and stands straight, her arms crossing in front of her.
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex "At ease, Judge Wake."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Jex sits down and begins eating the warm breakfast "Delicious as always Lazerus...Now, to answer the reason of your return."
[20:58] <@BradGM> Jex "I have been follwing your pregresion, all of you. I am pleased with what I am seeing, and belevies now it time to deploy you in your most dangerous and important mission to date."
[20:59] <@BradGM> ((*progresion))
[20:59] <+Grendel> "The Omnissiah provides."
[21:01] <@BradGM> Jex "Have you may know, we have struck agaisnt members of the Beasts House in these last years; while there is a far off chacne that the organisation can be stopped, it has suffered a major setback in Hive Sibellus. Now the next step os to go after the provider of beasts and Xenos for the fighting pit, specifically, Augustus von Gould."
[21:03] * +Mira_Atella tightens the hold on an item in her hand.
[21:03] <+Lyra_> "That sounds promising."
[21:03] * +Jonatan_Wake nods
[21:05] <@BradGM> Jex "The main problem here, is that von Gould himself ahve not set foot in Imperium space for close to a century. He hides wthin the Koronus expanse, out of our jurisdiction, doing Emperor-knows-what! If his past dealings within the Iperium is anything to go by, it si less than pious deeds he is acomplishing."
[21:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Hence, you must travel within the Koronus Expanse, capture von Gould and bring him back for judgement."
[21:09] <+Mira_Atella> "If bringing him back alive isn't an option, is his death to be allowed?"
[21:10] <@BradGM> Jex "..With proof.. physicalIt has been 3 days since you arrived.+++

[21:10] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[21:12] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Will we be provided with any resourses?"
[21:12] <@BradGM> Jex "The Emperor's light has yet to come to the Koronus Expance, so your autority as Throne Agent might be unknown, ignored or even ridiculed. This place is the domain of Rogue Traders, pirates, chaos fiends and Xenos...Having allies might be a good step to take, usinga rogue Trader to travel may also conceal your activites a bit better."
[21:13] * +Grendel starts his cogitator engine correlating his knowledge of the Kronus expanse.
[21:14] <+Lyra_> "Sounds like fun."
[21:15] <@BradGM> Jex "An inqusition viper class corvette is awaiting at Scintilla Prime to take you to Port Wander. From there, I do not have enough power and influence to secure your with a ship tot ake you beyond the Imperium's borders."
[21:17] <+Mira_Atella> "That should be manageable."
[21:18] <@BradGM> Jex "I do recommend caution. The Expance is a hive of scum and villany where they can operate from and to with little offical interference. The Inquisition is, unfortunatley, a target in that 'free' region."
[21:21] <+Grendel> !dhroll 58
[21:21] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 4 Success by 5 degrees!
[21:24] <@BradGM> Jex "You should steel yourselves for the journey ahead. Do not trust anyone, especially those Rogue Traders; They may be acting on behalf of the Emperor and the Imperium, they are nothing more than legalised scum who would sell their own mother if it cann allow them to gather another priceless trinklet."
[21:25] <+Grendel> ((What, you mean to say all the Rogue Traders aren't Inquisitors in disguise?))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((nope))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((sorry))
[21:26] <@BradGM> Jex "Also..Mira, do cmoe here."
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella steps towards him.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "You have learned well, Acolyte. Hence, I grant you the title of Interrogator. You have my support to act as my Right Hand. Furthermore... *He takes from under his heavy coat a small item, shaped in a stylised column with a skull wihtin its center.* I give you this rosette, to solidify my trust in you and to prove that you are acting with my full autority."
[21:32] <@BradGM> He extendes it toward you, but as you go to take it, his hands moves bakc a little "Be mindful that this is NOT to be used to procure yourself simple pleasure or to satisfy some passing need. This is for when everythign else failed and the time for discretion is over."
[21:32] <+Mira_Atella> "Thank you." She takes the rosette and looks at it for a few moments. "He won't know what hit him."
[21:33] * +Mira_Atella nods. "I understand."
[21:34] <@BradGM> As you take it, it lights up in a bright red limunation.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Jex "i have taken the liberty to add your genetic information to it; it shall lid up when you, and you alone, wield it."
[21:37] * +Mira_Atella nods again, thinking to herself the shape and weight not being too dissimilar to the object in her other hand, a rather beat up looking throwing weapon still somewhat resembling its gloom haunt shape.
[21:38] * +Grendel uploads the data he has on the Kronus expanse to those with dataslates. Though its scrubbed data. Figure anything negatively involving the Adeptus Mechanicus and stuff like the Great Crusade/Horus Heresy is removed.
[21:38] <+Grendel> (( http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Koronus_Expanse ))
[21:39] <@BradGM> *Jex finishes his meal, whiping himself with a serviette. "Do not fail me, Mockingbird, I'd hate to think I've wasted time and ressources upon all of you."
[21:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((A hive of scum an villainly, basicly))
[21:40] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[21:41] <@BradGM> He gets up "I left the details of your escort to Port Wander with Lazerus. If there is anything else, then I will let you go."
[21:42] * +Grendel adds the data to his cogitator. "No further questions."
[21:43] <+Jonatan_Wake> "None shall excape the arms of the Law"
[21:43] * +Mira_Atella places the items in her hands in to her case, taking her slate out to review the information.
[21:44] <@BradGM> Jex "Then, Emperor Protects you, Mockingbird." *He turns and leaves, Captain Rothers in tow. Lazerus cleans the empty plate and produces a dataslate. "Here is the infomration on the corvette, Drusus's Arm."
[21:45] * +Grendel articulates his thanks in binary and accepts the dataslate.
[21:47] <@BradGM> Drusus' Arm is a Viper class corvette, only 500 meters in length, lightly armed and armoured, but quite fast and maneuvrable. It has a rather low crew number (7500 to 9000) makes it the smallest vessle of the Imperial Navy, and a good ship for the Inquisition as well.
[21:49] * +Grendel uploads the data and passes the slate around.
[21:49] * +Mira_Atella reads over it as more information is uploaded.
[21:50] * +Jonatan_Wake reads through the slate before passing it on
[21:52] <@BradGM> The slate details where it is docked and what codes is needed to access the docking station and subsequent vessel.
[21:53] * +Grendel considers the materials he'll need.
[21:54] <+Grendel> "When do we leave, Interrogator?"
[21:55] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Considering the unexplored nature of the expanse, we should aquire survival gear"
[21:55] <+Jonatan_Wake> *Jon recomended*
[21:56] <+Mira_Atella> "Everyone should gather what they need. I'm going to see what contacts Bradon may be able to offer, or if he may go with us."
[21:57] <+Mira_Atella> "This won't be a short trip. We'll need someone with his skills on a regular basis, without having to depend on who we can find at the time."
[21:57] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Do any of us actually have the survival skill?))
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( Psh.. who needs that? :P ))

[22:04] <+Lyra_> "I figured I could hand the list to you or Grendel to type out nicely."
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((ok, so taking what?))
[22:06] <+Mira_Atella> (( Nothing just yet for Mira, she's has chatting to do with Bradon and possibly Jex before getting that stuff sorted ))
[22:07] <+Grendel> ((Well, some sort of survival kits, and uh. I'm not sure what else Grendel needs...))
[22:07] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Get at least one Calixis Survival Kit. Although they

[22:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( yeah, definitely those ))
[22:13] <+Grendel> ((Long trip yeah, but alot of it is going to be on void ships, not traipsing along on in a jungle))
[22:14] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((And maybe a charm or two, because clearly we need the Emperor's blessing on this one))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((heh))
[22:14] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Survival isn't just useful in the jungle, and any bonus to it will be welcomed))
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((Well, all depends also on how you'll go about in the koronus expanse.))

[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( newp, but it's on my list ))
[22:18] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Ya know I should probably put a glow lamp in my inventory. It's abundant, it's impossible not to get))
[22:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( I was thinking that a few minutes ago, then saw someone said flashlight.. figured glow lamp would fall in to that ))
[22:19] <@BradGM> ((Well, that or just get phot-contacts and hae dark sight all the time..))
[22:19] <@BradGM> ((photo-contacts))
[22:20] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((They are scarse, aren't they. I'll take both, just in case))
[22:21] <@BradGM> ((no prob))
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((so, survivla kits for everyone, rebreather for mira, photo-contacts and flashlights, tents, stummers...))
[22:24] * +Jonatan_Wake looks over to grendel "Is there perhaps in contacts in the Expanse that you know"
[22:24] <+Lyra_> ((Stormtrooper helmet comes with that, right?))
[22:24] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Void suits))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((Lyra: yes))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((void suits..ok))
[22:25] * +Grendel considers if he has any contacts in the expanse.
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((no, your contact in ins the Lathes.))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Didn't think so))
[22:27] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((I didn't mean litteral Contacts, just if he had any buds out there))
[22:28] * +Grendel activates his communication protocols and shakes his head. "I do not believe so. There is Mechanicum presence, but I do not know any of the Adepts personally."
[22:29] <+Mira_Atella> "That's another reason I want to speak with Bradon about going with us. He may have contacts that would benefit us."
[22:30] <+Grendel> "Of course, Interrogator."
[22:31] * +Jonatan_Wake slightly frowns at that "Unforetunately, I may have even less than that. The Inquisitor is right when he says the place is lawless. Arbite presense will extend, at best, to Port Wonder"
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> "Something to start getting used to.. not calling one another by titles. It could do more harm than good depending on where we are."
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((aww..))
[22:33] <+Lyra_> "Like anyone's going to believe Grendel is *not* part of the Mechanus?"
[22:33] <+Jonatan_Wake> "we could pass him off as a servitor"
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[22:34] * +Grendel turns and stares at the Judge. "Unlikely."
[22:34] <+Lyra_> "That's worse. Servitors don't just hang around. They're always with techpriests or techmarines if they're not with Mechanus."
[22:34] <+Mira_Atella> "They can assume what they will, but no need to back up their theories. As Jex said, our positions may not serve us at all when we are out there."
[22:35] * elttsea (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[22:35] <+Grendel> "It would not be unusual for a Tech-Priest to be traveling."
[22:35] * @Elttaes (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
[22:35] <+Lyra_> "Sure, but that means they'd suspect one of us to be the tech-priest."
[22:38] <@BradGM> ((Oh- while the koronus expanse is lawless, there are still island of Imperial presence ehre and there, so you would still have some autority there; keep in ind as well that rogue Traders are on equal footing with Inquisitors as peers of the Imperium, like Admirals, Lord-Militants and Space Marines chapter masters...hence influecne bing important))
[22:38] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Either way, we should avoid bringing attention to ourselves. Bring a few spare clothing for disguises"
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((or a disguise kit))
[22:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Well, yes))
[22:39] <+Mira_Atella> (( Have several of those still heh ))
[22:39] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((to both statements))
[22:42] <+Grendel> "Perhaps at Port Wander we will be able to get some information on Gould's vessel."
[22:43] <@BradGM> VesselS: you ealnred eariler that von Gould ahve a small flotilla of vessels, from combat vessles to merchant ships.
[22:44] <@BradGM> Imperial estimes gives him a dozen veseels of different classes, 4 being merchatn class; one being drydocked by the Inquisiton.
[22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "Possibly. The one we have has been documented well enough it could help it recognizing more. Even if they are all different ships, a similarity would most likely exist."
[22:46] <+Grendel> ((oh well, that could prove problematic...))

[22:49] <+Grendel> "I recommend seeing about the equipment then."
[22:49] <+Jonatan_Wake> "Where is that ship currently?
[22:50] <@BradGM> Sealed in drydock in a forbidden section on Scintilla Prime.
[22:51] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((And I presume they know it was taken. No sneaking it in))
[22:52] * +Grendel checks to see if any usable data has been gathered from the ship
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((yes, since it dind't came back, and no self respecting RT wouldn't ahve contacts in the Imperium, legal or otherwise))
[22:53] <@BradGM> You would have access to the ship logs and a general location of where ti went into the Expanse, yes. but what is waiting there? hard to know.
[22:56] <+Grendel> ((but no favorite routes inside the expanse))
[22:56] <+Grendel> ((Brb))
[22:57] * Elttaes (Elttaes@173.sub-27-162-094.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[23:00] <@BradGM> ((There is a few yes, but since the warp isa fickle thing, it is a general 'go in that direction go out at this place' and hope the warp hasn't mutated into something else along the way))
[23:01] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Or that your crew isn't eatan by daemons))
[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[23:03] <@BradGM> ((so all done with the gear? Mira, you wanted tot alk to Bradon?))
[23:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( Yeah ))
[23:04] <@BradGM> Bradon is still at the munitorium D, working the main counter. At this time, he appears to be between waves of acolytes requestiong gear.
[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> "I'm going to the munitorium to speak with Bradon, if anyone feels ready to do their paperwork." She pulls her hood back up before walking to the door.
[23:06] <+Grendel> ((Oh. I assumed she was doing it for all of us? :) ))
[23:06] <+Lyra_> "If one of you is willing to help me write it up?"
[23:06] <+Jonatan_Wake> "I will" Jon offers
[23:06] <+Lyra_> "Thanks."
[23:06] * +Grendel settles in and finds a data port to submit his paper via machine!

[23:10] <@BradGM> ((yeah no horrible rolls for getting ear))
[23:11] <+Grendel> ((the bot must be confused))
[23:11] <@BradGM> You all filled the paoerwrok expectly and have all the requested gear you asked.
[23:11] * +Jonatan_Wake writes out the paperwork with his usual skill, even doing slightly better for Lyra's, despite not knowing key data about her (like, you know, her ID or her last name)
[23:12] * +Mira_Atella walks briskly to her destination.
[23:13] * +Grendel transmits the data before returning to his workshop to start considering his gear.
[23:14] * +Jonatan_Wake sees the thong of alcolyes and puts his hand on his new power maul
[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( acolyte thongs... scary ))
[23:14] <@BradGM> Bradon is there, at his counter, typing at his cog-engine. He grins when you show up in his view "Hey Mira, how's the courses going?"
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((sees acolyte thong..puts hand on power maul..so wrong))
[23:15] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((not that kind of thong :P))
[23:16] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh throng maybe? ))
[23:16] <+Jonatan_Wake> ((Yes, that))
[23:17] * +Mira_Atella grins at Bradon and leans on the counter, "The old guy must be losing his mind, he made me a full on Interrogator."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Bradon "Ha! Well, he must be going crazy, or he's got some crazy schemes 20 steps ahead of it planned."
[23:18] <@BradGM> Bradon "but since you're not going for the door, I suppose you need some gear?"
[23:18] <+Jonatan_Wake> (Jex, confirmed for Tzeench)
[23:18] <+Mira_Atella> "With all the things he's told me since I started the training, it wouldn't at all surprise me."
[23:19] <+Mira_Atella> "Yeah, but I had a question about something else too."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Bradon "Shoot."
[23:21] <+Mira_Atella> "We're going to be gone for a while. A pretty long while more than likely. Our gear is going to get utterly destroyed and you know I'd hate to return things to you that haven't been taken care of.. So.. If I managed to get them to agree to it, would you consider going with us? Not just your skills, but you know people and that never stops being useful." She tries to give the best pouty face she can.
[23:23] <@BradGM> roll influence, -20 for permanent, -10 for rare (non tech-priest technologist)
[23:24] <+Grendel> ((Gasp!))
[23:24] <+Mira_Atella> (( k so... 30? ))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((yes, -30, form base of 40))
[23:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( Ah, I had that other +20 on there, guess that got used up heh ))
[23:26] <@BradGM> ((well, it's used for gear before the session proper, not within it))
[23:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( This should show the bots true colors ))

[23:26] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 86 Failure by 7 degrees!
[23:26] <+Grendel> ((Bradon actually laughs at you))

[23:27] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 25 Failure by 1 degree!
[23:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( 1 degree is better than 7 at least ))
[23:29] <@BradGM> Bradon seems to juggle wiht the idea, but finally shakes his head "No..sorry mira, I wouldn't mind travellin' the void with ya', but I got a good thing going with my brotherhood here, and I'd hate to have one of those tech-Priest reorganise everything incorrectly and waste weeks finding my favorite pipe wrench.."
[23:30] <+Grendel> ((Its a good thing Grendel's in his workshop :) ))
[23:30] * +Mira_Atella nods and chuckles, "Well I had to ask. But... no complaining if the gear comes back beat to hell."
[23:31] <@BradGM> Bradon "Well, try not too, but I did saw your clearage got upped a month or so back, so it'll be covered in case of loss in the field...just please, don't go for it even if there's no consequences?"
[23:33] <+Mira_Atella> "If I stay alive by leaving a gun behind.. you can bet the gun is being left behind." She punches his shoulder just a bit and hands over the paperwork she did, "Everyone else's should be in there too."
[23:34] <@BradGM> He send the paperwork backward and a few of his squats move about to gather the requested gear
[23:34] <@BradGM> Bradon "Well, said like that, it's a reasonable loos then."
[23:34] * +Grendel makes sure everything is in its place in the workshop and heads out to pick up his gear.
[23:35] <@BradGM> it takes 10 minutes or so before a squat with a small chariot arrives withi everything you requested.
[23:37] <@BradGM> Bradon "there ya' go Mira. Good luck and do try to not die."
[23:37] <+Mira_Atella> (( ouch.. forgot to take my wallet out of my pocket before we started, now my back hurts heh ))
[23:38] <+Mira_Atella> "That's always the plan. Thanks Bradon." She looks at the cart and the stuff and looks around.

[23:48] <@BradGM> You move toward Scintilla Prime and into Drusus' Arm and inot the void. The trip is rather uneventful, as far as warp voyages goes, shocking nightmares, disturbing ghostly visits of loved ones fortelling of horrible catastrophes, most of the food suddenly sploiling, forcing everyone on board to switch to emergency dry rations....After 4 days in the warp, you finally exit and arrive in the reals-apce sector of Port Wander.**
