[20:13] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Suffer Not the Witch to Live+++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++Location;Area known as the “Forbidden Hab”, Footfall Station, Furibundus system, Koronus Expanse +++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++1812 Hours-Footfall Time++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++Learning that von Gould, alongside numerous other Rogue Traders are after a unspoiled planet somewhere in the Expanse, and that they all got this information by a group of seers, and possibly unsanctioned psykers, known as the Seven Witches, Mockingbird moved to track the coven and interrogate them.
[20:13] <@BradGM> Hours past; Jon, Lyra and Mira obtained the Seven Witches’ location, the Judge making a light reconnaissance, whereas he did learn that there was a strong force that unsuccessfully tried to penetrate his mind. Grendel,s search for a dataport also was fruitful, if only a longer, and less rewarding ordeal.
[20:13] <@BradGM> . The next day, Lyra and Mira entered the seers’ area, only to have both their mind probed into; Lyra had her surface thought browed into, but Mira’s last 12 hours of memories, mostly the legwork to track the Seven Witches, was thoroughly looked by, forcing a unwanted retreat out of the influence of the mind probe.+++

[20:18] <Lyra_> ((hehehehehehe))
[20:18] <@BradGM> Lyra can 'clear her head' easily enough; guard training helps for that. Mira on the other hand, got too much on her mind to think of things of non consequences.

[20:24] <Mira_Atella> "We're fine. Unwanted guests are all."

[20:30] <@BradGM> They appear to be physically fine Grendel
[20:30] <Grendel> "Problems?"
[20:31] <Mira_Atella> "If they got anything and haven't tried to kill us, we could always let them see more and maybe they'd talk to us. Or they'd learn everything, then kill us. I'm far from the expert on how these things work, that was Laz' job."
[20:33] <Grendel> "I could go in and attempt to learn the information on Gould and the Pearl."
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((Yeah, let's send the metal man who can kill us all ten tiems over..))
[20:35] <Mira_Atella> "That's up to you. I can't go back if it were that easy for them. Do you think you can keep them out again, Lyra?"
[20:37] <Grendel> "The protections provided by the Omnissiah should be enough to keep them from my cogitators."
[20:37] <Lyra_> "Hm. Maybe, it dependso n how much they like nursery rhymes."
[20:38] <Jon_Wake> "I was able to hold them out last time. I will got with you, tech priest"

They are stnading in front of a heavy metal door. You also hear sounds; unexplained screeching, whispering close from you, then far, then close again. quite troubling an ambiance.

[23:12] <Jon_Wake> ((We have 38 people in a small ship and 1 walking tank))

[23:13] <Jon_Wake> ((I don't have it))
[23:14] <Lyra_> ((only military craft here))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((You can roll military craft at -10))

[23:19] <@BradGM> ((Well, Lyra can roll it at -10))

[23:28] <@BradGM> You spot a button with a relic seemingly ressembling the one on a riot rhino to add more pwoer to the tracks.
[23:28] <Jon_Wake> "I think this one is to go forward" Jon points it out

[23:31] <Jon_Wake> "From what?" Jon asks
[23:32] <Lyra_> "Well on a properly blessed assault shuttle the thrust control has a pair of wings, signifying the Emperor's grace in the skies."

[20:13] <@BradGM> Hours past; Jon, Lyra and Mira obtained the Seven Witches’ location, the Judge making a light reconnaissance, whereas he did learn that there was a strong force that unsuccessfully tried to penetrate his mind. Grendel,s search for a dataport also was fruitful, if only a longer, and less rewarding ordeal.
[20:13] <@BradGM> . The next day, Lyra and Mira entered the seers’ area, only to have both their mind probed into; Lyra had her surface thought browed into, but Mira’s last 12 hours of memories, mostly the legwork to track the Seven Witches, was thoroughly looked by, forcing a unwanted retreat out of the influence of the mind probe.+++

[20:30] <Grendel> "Problems?"
[20:31] <Mira_Atella> "If they got anything and haven't tried to kill us, we could always let them see more and maybe they'd talk to us. Or they'd learn everything, then kill us. I'm far from the expert on how these things work, that was Laz' job."

[20:35] <Mira_Atella> "That's up to you. I can't go back if it were that easy for them. Do you think you can keep them out again, Lyra?"
[20:37] <Grendel> "The protections provided by the Omnissiah should be enough to keep them from my cogitators."

[22:26] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 74 Failure by 1 degree!

[22:27] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 72 Failure by 1 degree!
[22:27] <Jon_Wake> (( >:| ))
[22:28] <@BradGM> The one-eyed manager of the flophouse snarks amicably at you as you pass by.
[22:29] * Jon_Wake ingnores him
[22:30] <Jon_Wake> (Actually, scratch that, reverse it))
[22:30] <Jon_Wake> "Do you find something funny?" Jon asks the manager
[22:32] * Grendel pauses at the interaction, listening.
[22:32] <@BradGM> Manager "no, why'd you say that?"
[22:32] <Jon_Wake> ((What exactly do you mean by "snark"
[22:32] <Jon_Wake> ))
[22:33] <@BradGM> ((like some sort of hello, just, of no class))
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hence the amicable way he,s doing it))
[22:35] <Jon_Wake> ((I think of "Snark" as 'making fun of someone or something'))
[22:36] <@BradGM> ((I see it as doing a snarky face while raising one's head like a "Hey, how'ya doin'?" jesture))
[22:36] * Jon_Wake shrugs "Just on edge. Forget I said anyway"
[22:36] <Jon_Wake> *anything
[22:37] * Grendel moves on, pausing at mira's door to see if she wants to discuss anything.
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((think that was confusing, you shouls ahve seen it when I described a denivelation))
[22:38] <Mira_Atella> (( Kinda like a compulsory reaction from doing a job too long.. you say it, half the time don't realize it, the other half you don't actually mean it ))
[22:43] * Grendel moves on rest now if there's nothing else.
[22:44] * Mira_Atella turns off their rigged up alarm after going inside the room.
[22:45] <@BradGM> You get to bed. doing anything special during the sleeping?
[22:45] * Jon_Wake hits the hay, thankful that at least Grendel doesn't snore
[22:46] <@BradGM> ((Just his fan that's very loud))
[22:46] * Grendel sets up his own screamer to alert him and Jon if anything happens.
[22:47] <Jon_Wake> (( A loud fan is still better than snoring ))
[22:47] * Jon_Wake keeps his pistol under his pillow
[22:48] <Mira_Atella> (( sleep.. mmm ))
[22:48] * Lyra_ sleeps with her pistols in their holsters, her back againsts a wall, and her rifle in her arms ((standard Guard sleeping posture, don'tcha know))
[22:49] <Jon_Wake> (( She cuddles her plasmagun ))
[22:49] <Lyra_> ((damn straight))
[22:50] <@BradGM> The night went 'calmly'; sure there was that big deck gang shootout at the market place below, but apart from that it goes smoothly.
[22:51] * Grendel recharges during the night. Sleeping is for fleshies.
[22:54] * Grendel reactivates his primary processes at 6 in the morning t ogive him plenty of time to get to the meeting.
[22:56] <@BradGM> Groogy morning in the day cycle; there's still a couple of bodies lying donw in tghe market place.
[22:57] * Mira_Atella is up and looking out, "We missed a party."
[22:57] <Lyra_> "Minor firefight, nothing worth getting involved in."
[22:58] * Grendel ignores them unless there's interestng tech on them. He also resets the screamer to send him an alert if anyone enters the room while they're away. He starts running through what he knows of the station to determine the optimal course to the Obsidian Emporial.
[23:00] <Jon_Wake> *Considering that the majority of them were probably a ganger, Jon ingores the battle to make sure his equipment is clean and maintained*
[23:01] <@BradGM> Done done and done; You can take a 'shuttle'; nothing more than a rectangular box as big as an airlock, to get across the Emperor's macro statue to get there in an hour's time rather than 2.23 hours via fgoot and train
[23:01] * Mira_Atella turns back on their own alarm before leaving.
[23:01] <Grendel> @@The shuttle is more efficient.@@
[23:02] <Jon_Wake> @@We could use the saved time to stake out the place@@
[23:03] * Grendel nods and checks over his gear, blessing the machine spirits of it, before calculating the best route to the shuttle.
[23:05] * Mira_Atella checks that she has all she wants, and turns "Lead on."
[23:07] * Jon_Wake goes in his "civilian" gear, and takes the case with his other weapons with him
[23:07] * Lyra_ has her hellpistols in shoulder holsters
[23:08] <@BradGM> You set up the screamers and get out in the hab-fanes. Grendel, you find a relatively close-by 'shuttle'; as you saw/heard, they are basically air lock sized metal boxes with simple piloting station and a few engines for propulsion.
[23:09] * Grendel leads the group to the shuttle, intoning praises to its machine spirit as he does.
[23:09] <Jon_Wake> ((Appearantly, you've had bad experiences with small metal boxes))
[23:10] <@BradGM> Being a large station,others come in asking where you're going; some leave but many stay, as they got business at the othert end of the station; and having a tech-preists on borad sure makes it safer
[23:10] <@BradGM> 1d50
[23:10] <@BradGM> !roll 1d50
[23:10] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 35
[23:11] <@BradGM> There's a goood group with you.
[23:12] * Grendel offeers them praise and the correct rituals for burning and flight.
[23:12] <@BradGM> Anyone with pilot (civilian craft) can roll it at +0; usually it is -10 but Grendel calm the machine spirit with his oxtodox ritual
[23:12] <Grendel> ((wait, we have to fly it as well?))
[23:12] <Jon_Wake> ((We have 38 people in a small ship and 1 walking tank))
[23:13] <Grendel> ((I don't have the skill yet...))
[23:13] <Jon_Wake> ((I don't have it))
[23:14] <Lyra_> ((only military craft here))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((You can roll military craft at -10))
[23:14] <Jon_Wake> ((The one skill this entire group does not have))
[23:15] <Mira_Atella> (( Newp, just hover vehicle here ))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((hehehehe....I strike again..but you can now get the ascension taletn to pilot everything))))
[23:16] <Grendel> ((well, I can in like 2 levels :) ))
[23:19] * Grendel looks around for a pilot.
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((Well, Lyra can roll it at -10))
[23:19] <Grendel> ((I think she meant that she can take military craft, not that she has))
[23:20] <Lyra_> ((No, I *do* have it))
[23:20] <Lyra_> ((okay, but you schmoos asked for it))

[23:21] <Grendel> ((Brb, dinner not agreeing with me, got woozy))
[23:21] <Lyra_> ((I'm a Stormtrooper, not a fighter pilot!))
[23:22] <Jon_Wake> ((But it's not a fighter, it's a civilian transport))
[23:22] <Lyra_> ((hence why mashing the button for afterburners doesn't work))
[23:22] <@BradGM> The shuttle disconnects...and just stays there; no propulsion..
[23:23] <Mira_Atella> (( Reporting live from the scene. A tragic accident occurred today when a commuter vehicle struck and killed a group of nuns crossing the street. Veering out of control the vehicle then crashed in to an orphanage and caught fire. Panic ensued at the animal shelter next door and several people were mauled by a loosed dog ))
[23:23] <Jon_Wake> (("Now, which one of these are for missiles"))
[23:23] <Lyra_> "Why couldn't this be a Valkyrie?"
[23:23] * Grendel continuesto attempt to calm the machine spirits.
[23:23] <Jon_Wake> ((Anyway we can help?))
[23:23] <Grendel> ((now brb))
[23:24] <Lyra_> ((Sadly, getting out to push is contraindicated))
[23:24] <Jon_Wake> ((Can we figure it out with the power of LOGIC?))
[23:25] <Jon_Wake> ((And by power I mean skill))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((hmm..roll tech use))
[23:26] <Jon_Wake> !dhroll 63
[23:26] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 59 Success by 0 degrees!
[23:27] * Jon_Wake manages to squeese past the crowd and into the slowly growing more claustphoibic cockpit to help. Vaugely
[23:27] * Lyra_ is looking for the thrust control
[23:28] <@BradGM> You spot a button with a relic seemingly ressembling the one on a riot rhino to add more pwoer to the tracks.
[23:28] <Jon_Wake> "I think this one is to go forward" Jon points it out
[23:29] <Lyra_> "Ah, there it is. They changed the iconagraphy."
[23:30] * Lyra_ pushes the button
[23:30] <@BradGM> Sucess! The shuttle advance into the void!
[23:31] <Jon_Wake> "From what?" Jon asks
[23:32] <Lyra_> "Well on a properly blessed assault shuttle the thrust control has a pair of wings, signifying the Emperor's grace in the skies."
[23:33] <Jon_Wake> "That makes ense"
[23:33] <Jon_Wake> *sense
[23:34] <@BradGM> You approach the other airlock; roll military craft at -10 Lyra.
[23:34] <Lyra_> !dhroll 30

[23:35] <Jon_Wake> ((At least the breaks are universal))
[23:35] <Lyra_> (heh heh)
[23:35] <@BradGM> Despite the odd start, you dock perfectly and without any accident. some of the locals seems surpsied when the door open, as the landing was so smootha dn not horribly violent**
[23:36] <Grendel> ((Back, sorry. Got reall woozy after having some yogurt))
[23:36] * Lyra_ gives thanks to the Emperor for a smooth landing
[23:37] <@BradGM> ((ok if we clsoe it here for tongiht guyas?))
[23:37] <Grendel> ((Sounds good. I should probably lay down at some point heh)
[23:37] <Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[23:37] <Jon_Wake> ((Ends with not dying. I like it))
