[22:49] <@BradGM> Ywane +von Gould...acessing....Augautus von Gould, estimated age 127 Standard Terran Years. Leader of the von Gould Dynasty. At the head of a fleet of 18 known void capable ship, including 7 merchant class vessels, 4 raider class vessles, 4 frigate class and 3 Cruiser class vessels. Last known presence on Footfall from 14.75 standard terran months ago. currently searching for the Dread Pearl, a planet with untold mineral riches, but of little else of value.+
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((sorry just writing things down and gauging what Ywane would be willing/able to tell with 6 DoS..))
[22:50] <Mira_Atella> (( I was checking because half of my stuff stopped and said it had no connection, but some of it was working fine ))
[22:53] <@BradGM> ((Lyra/Mira doing something while Grendel get info?))
[22:53] <Lyra_> ((Don't think so))
[22:53] <Mira_Atella> (( Wasn't there equipment checking or something? ))
[22:54] * Grendel attempts to access any and all data o nthe ships of Gould, as well as data on the Pearl.
[22:55] <@BradGM> ((Lyra was doing that yes, but it's normal maintenance; if you got the weapon talent you know how to maiintain it))
[22:57] <Mira_Atella> (( k just securing the room then, and I guess I can try for tech use to set an alarm if someone comes in the room? Like, it let's us know, not sets anything off the person breaking in would see ))
[22:57] <@BradGM> While the ship's info is rather straight forward, the Dread Pearl is a totally different beast; mostly made out of voidman's drunken rumours, stories and heresay, it seems to be a 'typical, story when Rogue Traders are mentionned; a planet with untold riches and ready for the taking to whoever can find it and claim it as its own...for the Emperor of course.
[22:58] <@BradGM> ((Mira: that would be with a screamer device, on silent alarm mode, which you must buy to set up beforehand))
[22:58] <Mira_Atella> (( bah.. of course I don't have one now. I did before and didn't use it, so gave it back heh ))
[23:00] <Mira_Atella> (( have a small vox caster if that could be used for something similar, and the extra bead ))
[23:00] * Grendel praises the Omnissiah for the data, and Tech-Magos Ywane's custodianship of the data.
[23:00] <@BradGM> ((a tech-use at -20 to jury rig a device can work))
[23:01] <@BradGM> Ywane +It is our sacred duty to collect knowledge, I am the Omnissiah's servant.+
[23:01] <@BradGM> ((BRB bathroom))
[23:01] <Mira_Atella> (( combi-tool bonus? otherwise, not worth trying heh until Grendel comes back to the room ))
[23:04] <@BradGM> ((+10 combi toll yes))
[23:04] <@BradGM> ((lyra can also help as she has the skill as well))
[23:04] <Grendel> "We all are."
[23:04] <Lyra_> ((Sure thing))
[23:04] <@BradGM> Ywane +Join us Brother Grendel, as we sing praise to the Omnissiah+
[23:04] * Mira_Atella looks at Lyra checking the equipment, "Think we can rig this, or wait for Grendel?"
[23:06] <Lyra_> "Shouldn't be a problem. Not like we're field-rigging a melta gun."
[23:07] <@BradGM> Whoever does the work roll tech-use -20, +10 for combi-tool and +10 for help
[23:07] <Mira_Atella> (( Would be a 35 total here ))
[23:07] <Lyra_> ((33 here))
[23:07] * Grendel remains with the Tech-Magos for a while.
[23:07] <@BradGM> ((hehehe))
[23:08] <Mira_Atella> (( okay.. here goes heh ))
[23:08] <Mira_Atella> !dhroll 35
[23:08] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 99 Failure by 6 degrees!
[23:08] <Mira_Atella> (( FATE ))
[23:08] <@BradGM> ((ha!))
[23:08] <Mira_Atella> !dhroll 35
[23:08] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 82 Failure by 4 degrees!
[23:08] <@BradGM> ((slighty less worse))
[23:08] <Lyra_> !dhroll 33
[23:08] <DiceServitor> Lyra_: 15 Success by 1 degree!
[23:09] <Lyra_> ?
[23:09] <@BradGM> An hour past and the vox's innards are all over the room...fortunately, Lyra seems way more confortable playing wiht wires and screws, sacred oil and litanies of the machine and she managed to get everything back and the vox is now modified to act as a silent tripping alarm
[23:10] <Lyra_> ((Wierd. I don't even see the bot's roll))
[23:10] <@BradGM> [23:08] <Lyra_> !dhroll 33
[23:10] <@BradGM> [23:08] <DiceServitor> Lyra_: 15 Success by 1 degree!
[23:10] <Mira_Atella> "That looks better."
[23:10] <Lyra_> ((*really* wierd))
[23:11] <@BradGM> ((when you got a low chance of success, leave it to lyra to get it!...yeah I saw it, it showed up instantly as well.))
[23:11] <Lyra_> "You learn a lot from keeping a Chimera running."
[23:12] <Mira_Atella> "I try to pay attention to things Grendel does, but I don't think he's a fan of being watched when he's working."
[23:13] <Lyra_> "Well, the mysteries of the tech priests are not for us."
[23:13] <Mira_Atella> "Anyway.. that should be good for keeping an eye on this place without possibly blowing everything up."
[23:14] <@BradGM> Grendel, you take part of the daily ritual of shield alignment, quite refreshing to learn soemthing new.
[23:14] <Lyra_> "True...and if we want to blow something up we can throw grenades."
[23:16] <Mira_Atella> "I'll leave grenades to you. Grendel isn't allowed."
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((hehe))
[23:16] * Grendel records the information and examines all the data that he can, as well as examining the workings of the shields.
[23:17] <Lyra_> "I figured he'd just use some kind of archeotech mechadendrite."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Grendel; it's your standard navy pattern double void station shield.
[23:18] * Grendel praises the custodianship of the Tech-Magos again before returning to the unfortunate world of the non-enlightened.
[23:19] <@BradGM> As you exit the shield shrine, you see a couple of ignorant voiders looking at another who's tapping at a flickering light.
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((possibly with thier finger in thier noses and drooling))
[23:20] * Grendel studies them closely.
[23:21] <@BradGM> The one taps the lgiht for a few moments until it stops flickering, and they resume their work.
[23:23] * Grendel makes a note of them and continues on.
[23:23] <@BradGM> you saw nor heard any litany or ritual of the light, nor did he used machine oil on it
[23:23] * Grendel moves towards the light and performs the litany of light!
[23:24] <@BradGM> roll tech-use!
[23:26] <Grendel> !dhroll 88
[23:26] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 26 Success by 6 degrees!
[23:26] <@BradGM> the light shines brightly, at least 60 watts more than what it used to! The voider eveng ot to shield thier eyes with thier hands as they stare impressed at the new sun that appeared overhead
[23:27] <Grendel> "Proper care and litanies should be supplied at all times when using the ritual of tapping."
[23:28] <Mira_Atella> (( There needs to be a CBS "The More You Know..." star on that ))
[23:28] <@BradGM> Voider "Thank you mister machineman..boss...sir..? That thing 's been like ever since I started working here 12 years ago."
[23:29] <@BradGM> ((Or a shooting cog instead of a star))
[23:29] <Mira_Atella> (( Works for me ))
[23:30] <@BradGM> !dhroll 37
[23:30] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 20 Success by 1 degree!
[23:30] <@BradGM> ((going back to the room Grendel?))
[23:30] <Grendel> "Proper maintence, proper care and proper supplication to the Omnissiah and the glories of its Machine Spirits, even those of the light. Praise the Omnissiah."
[23:31] <Grendel> ((Once I've instructed the yokels!))
[23:31] <Grendel> ((But yes :) ))
[23:32] <@BradGM> !dhroll 28
[23:32] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 78 Failure by 5 degrees!
[23:32] <@BradGM> !dhroll 28
[23:32] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 63 Failure by 3 degrees!
[23:32] <@BradGM> !dhroll 28
[23:32] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 3 Success by 2 degrees!
[23:32] <@BradGM> Two seems totally daft by your teaching, but one, the one who knew how to tap the light, seems to be now filled with knowlege than even transpire his own presence in the Galaxy.
[23:34] <Grendel> ((One day, Grendel will have this place turned into a proper bastion of the Omnissiah's Glory))
[23:34] * Grendel returns to the flophouse.
[23:34] <@BradGM> ((aaan ok if we stop it there?))
[23:34] <Mira_Atella> (( Sad. Bacon ranch fries were brought to me by my cousin. They really just put fries in a box and put some ranch and crumbled bacon on them. There needs to be cheese or something, nothing is sticking to the fries well ))
[23:34] <Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[23:35] <@BradGM> *Grendel you return to the flophouse, where Lyra and Mira managed to create a trip alarm system which send out a audio promt when someone activates it.**
[23:35] <Mira_Atella> (( And the amount of ranch is pretty abysmal ))
[23:36] <@BradGM> ((wow, how can soemone fail that much when bacon is involved?))
[23:36] <@BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
