[20:33] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Suffer not The Witch to Live+++
[20:33] <@BradGM> +++Location: Suite E, Lexturor Hotel/ Executive Suite 5, Hotel Deloie, Hab-Fanes, Footfall Station, Furibundus system, Koronus Expanse +++
[20:33] <@BradGM> +++0330 Hours-Footfall Time++
[20:34] <@BradGM> +++The manager quickly informs Mockingbird of his discontent for having his flophouse all shot up, bloods and brains included. Mira is equally unhappy about the manager’s extra all being for naught. Words begin to fly, and the manager quickly told them to leave; something the Throne Agents already planned on doing. They quickly changed strategy, taking two suites in two separate locations, with more obvious and reliable security measures, including their jury-rigged screamer alarms.
[20:34] <@BradGM> . Lyra and Mira began discussing ways to better conceal weapons while wearing their gowns, Grendel left for a Shield Shrine to clean his robes while Jon ventured into the markets, having dropped his disguise. He managed to buy what was missing to his usual kit, a well manoeuvrable and sturdy assault bike, while detecting and out shadowing a competent but oblivious Kasballica tail after him.
[20:34] <@BradGM> . The Judge even showed himself in the open with no reaction whatsoever from the female thug. Direct interaction even left the criminal denying everything and leaving, leaving him with only returning to rendez-vous with Grendel at the Lexturor suite. The Magos himself didn’t waste any time, managing to hack into the hotel’s internal security to gain access to its camera feed;
[20:34] <@BradGM> ; Mira busied herself trying to make some hack-kneed holsters for her pistol to fit her dress with little in terms of results, while Lyra noted about a dozen good sniping position and 7 prime location for counter-sniping operation.+++
[20:34] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:36] * Grendel studies the feeds while his chronometer counts down the time to the meeting.
[20:36] <@BradGM> ((So that's what happened last time..))
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((So to the meet then?))
[20:38] <Grendel> ((Yeah. grendel doesn't have anything planned))
[20:38] <Lyra_> ((works for me))
[20:40] * Grendel calculates the best routes for the two groups to meet up and make their way to the meeting.
[20:40] <@BradGM> 30 or so hours passes. then the time for the meet is upon you
[20:41] * Jon_Wake Jon goes in suited up
[20:41] * Lyra_ has her pistols
[20:41] * Mira_Atella adjusts her dress a bit, giving up on the makeshift holster for now, and just taking her bag.
[20:42] <Lyra_> (and knives! and reliquary!)
[20:42] <Mira_Atella> (( The knives fit in her suit, thankfully heh. Always been one of my favorite things I got her almost right off the bat ))
[20:42] <@BradGM> ((And cherubin quoir!))
[20:44] <Jon_Wake> ((Jon is going in full armoed))
[20:45] <@BradGM> ((shotgun included?))
[20:45] <Jon_Wake> ((Yes, goes without saying))
[20:45] * Mira_Atella makes sure to activate their security device as they leave.
[20:45] * Grendel does the same, going with his usual, heavily armed gear.
[20:47] <@BradGM> Again, you arrive to the dreaded corner of the station where even the most dirtiest, scras scum doensT' venture. echoes form the warp seems distant form the border.
[20:49] * Grendel keeps his auspex running on high as they approach, his target and tracking systems warmed up.
[20:50] <@BradGM> You detect the Witches' guards first, before revealing themselves in the distance. The psychic echoes and force you felt before are not afrfecting you for now.
[20:50] * Mira_Atella wrinkles her nose at whatever indescribable smells there must be.
[20:51] * Lyra_ recites the Imperial Creed in her head
[20:51] <@BradGM> Oh yes, the palce is quite dirty, the walls rusted with dirty water dripping, lgihts flikering
[20:52] * Grendel keeps everything calculating and running as he appraoches, absently cataloging the issues to report to the Machanicus.
[20:52] <@BradGM> As you get to the door the guards once blocked Jon and Grendel, they are again there.
[20:52] * Jon_Wake is strong in will and unblinking in fear
[20:53] <@BradGM> The only difference is that they move away as you get closer, close enough to open the heavy metal door and enter.
[20:55] * Grendel continues moving, auspex and mechadendrites scanning the area around him.
[20:55] <@BradGM> ((Who oepsn the door?))
[20:56] * Jon_Wake takes the lead and opens the door
[20:57] * Mira_Atella keeps silent and watchful, her hands clasped in front of her.
[20:58] <@BradGM> Jon opens the door into a dark room; even your vision filthers cannot be of help to pierce the darkness.
[20:58] * Jon_Wake narrow his eyes at this witchcraft
[20:59] <Jon_Wake> *but still advances*
[20:59] <Grendel> ((What about Grendel's infrared torch?))
[21:00] * Mira_Atella focuses on listening instead, opting not to grab her goggles.
[21:00] <@BradGM> ...a wave of a inhuman stench hits your nostrils, Taking a few steps inside, you can barely begin to see the trash-littered floor, vomit and blood splatters all over the walls and ceiling, pile sof old medkits scattered all voer the apcle..
[21:01] <@BradGM> Even Grendel's torch is of little help.
[21:02] * Lyra_ is reminded of herr time in the egiment
[21:02] * Jon_Wake unphased. The Underhive is often just as bad
[21:02] * Grendel continues on, attempting to recalibrate his scanners to take into account the darkness, his weapons ready.

[21:07] <Mira_Atella> (( I remembered it, for once lol ))
[21:09] <@BradGM> Inside the dark room, you are asaulted by voices, forces and emotions that feels almost fomr the warp. Fortunately, your training is of great help to you. The door get closed behind you, and after a few moments, you see a large, bloaded form in the corner of the room.
[21:10] <Grendel> "We are expected."
[21:11] <Mira_Atella> (( Baron Harkonnen, or Jabba? ))
[21:12] <Jon_Wake> ((Pizza))
[21:12] <@BradGM> The form itself move slowly, as a concert of voice coems out from all around you "Welcome to our sanctuary." Using Grendel's torch you can dissern that the bloated form is actually 7 woman, all frail, and weak looking, thier eyes staring into nothingness.
[21:12] <@BradGM> ((Ate himself to death))

[21:14] <@BradGM> Their clothes are barely rags, thier skin, leathery and covered in crass.
[21:16] * Mira_Atella does all she can not to reach up and cover her nose.
[21:16] * Jon_Wake hides barely restrained contempt
[21:16] <@BradGM> ((Hehe..putting your handkerchief in your face like a true noble..))
[21:16] <Grendel> ((Scented with gun oil))

[21:18] <@BradGM> Witches "You seek knowledge. Knowledge about the man called von Gould."
[21:18] <Mira_Atella> (( You two were the ones here heh ))

[21:19] * Lyra_ has seen worse...usually dead, granted
[21:19] <Jon_Wake> "We seek his whereabouts"
[21:20] <@BradGM> Grendel, your aupex detect some warp energy, powerful ones as well. It also 'flash' detects unknown presence for a second before is goes cleanr
[21:22] <@BradGM> Witches "You shall have what you paid for."
[21:23] * Grendel studies the readings, attempting to locate the source.
[21:24] <@BradGM> The Witches join hands and raise their heads a little. The temperature suddenly drops in the room, and the air suddenly gets fouled. They begin to chant in some unkown language that makes your hair raises as some dark energy seems to go all arouhnd you.
[21:25] * Grendel keeps his weapons ready, waiting for instructions to fire.
[21:25] * Mira_Atella arches a brow, adjust her weight to move back quickly if needed.
[21:27] <@BradGM> The Witches' voice suddenly gets louder and higher pitched, as a evil light burst from thier collective mouthes and engulf you.

[21:35] <@BradGM> Everyone, apart from Grendel, suddenly gets transported across the void at incredeble speed to a large mansion, the owner must be crazy rich, on an unkown planet.
[21:36] * Mira_Atella blinks. Repeatedly. "So..."
[21:36] <@BradGM> Your vision gets controlled as you fly into the mansion to a large ornated room with a large central holo table projecting an star chart.
[21:37] * Jon_Wake studies everything that he can within the vision, down to the smallest detail
[21:37] <@BradGM> Of the poeple around the table, you can recognise Augaustus von Gould, dressed to the nines in his captain's uniform, discussing with a TEch-Priest.
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Jon got total Recall right?))
[21:38] <Jon_Wake> ((Yep))
[21:40] <@BradGM> They appears to be planning some expedition, Despite not knowing too much about astral navigation, Jon would be able to know where they were going.

[21:42] <Jon_Wake> ((that 50 is a 60, so 3 DoS))
[21:44] <@BradGM> Jon, and especially Mira, you manage to recognize a face amongst those gathered there, despite having your vision contentrating on von Gould....Gallus is leaning with both his hadns on the holotable, paying attention to whatever von Gould and the Tech-Priests are discussing about.
[21:46] <@BradGM> The biref seems to coem to an end, and your are cattaputed back to your own body on Footfall, having a horrid, feeling left on your very soul; Jon/Lyra/Mira you gain 1 corruption point.
[21:47] * Mira_Atella takes a deep breath, "That can't have been real."
[21:48] <@BradGM> The metal door suddenly opens itself as a owling winds of amillions scraems seems to escape the room.
[21:48] <@BradGM> Witches "The deal is done."
[21:48] * Grendel turns and regards the three. "Done?"
[21:49] * Jon_Wake looks to Grendel and nods his head
[21:49] <Mira_Atella> "No. This is not done. When was that, because one of those men are dead."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Witches "This is now."
[21:50] * Mira_Atella lowers her voice, speaking in their code, "They're lying. Gallus was there."
[21:51] <Jon_Wake> ((Would there be anything in the vision that would indicate the time?))
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((Not really no, apart that it was day time.))
[21:53] * Grendel turns back towards the witches, weapons ready.
[21:54] <Jon_Wake> ((Not even which year?))
[21:54] <@BradGM> They do not move.
[21:54] * Aristotle (Elttaes@467.sub-03-098-486.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun
[21:54] <Lyra_> "What about the dead man?"
[21:55] <@BradGM> Witches "You paid for von Gould. The deed is done."
[21:56] * Aristotle is now known as Elttaes
[21:56] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Elttaes
[21:56] <Mira_Atella> "This might be the time to speak with Jex. The records on the body should be available." Her eyes are still fixed on the witches.
[21:58] * Grendel switches to code. "Our response?"
[21:59] <Mira_Atella> "They aren't going to tell us more, and I don't think angering them would be wise."
[22:02] * Grendel begins to back away, keeping his weapons ready.
[22:04] <@BradGM> You exit the room, the door closes by itself after you are out. You feel some weight lifting from your shoulders.
[22:04] * Mira_Atella walks from the door, "They had better hope we don't need to come back."
[22:05] <Lyra_> "That was a little unsettling."
[22:05] * Grendel keeps his targeting and tracking systems going as he moves further, his auspex likewise keeping a look out for any ambushes or troubles. @@What data was acquired?@@
[22:05] <Jon_Wake> "Disturbing" Alex agrees
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((got your game mixed?))
[22:06] <Mira_Atella> (( Alex? heh ))
[22:06] <Jon_Wake> (( Yes, different game ))
[22:08] <Mira_Atella> "I was a bit distracted by Gallus, but von Gould was seen as well."
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((von gould btw : http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/von%20gould ))
[22:09] <Grendel> "Where?"
[22:11] <Mira_Atella> "Not sure. They were using a holotable and many others were gathered as well. I didn't notice more details. Jon, Lyra?"
[22:11] <Grendel> ((Must be 40k, the shoulderpads huge!))
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((It's form Starcraft 2 from waht I've been told))
[22:13] * Jon_Wake describes the starmap he saw
[22:14] <Mira_Atella> (( He is. One of the main bad guys I think. It's been a long time since I played that ))
[22:14] <@BradGM> Anyone with Scolastic lore (Astromancy)?

[22:16] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 32 Success by 1 degree!
[22:16] <Jon_Wake> (( he is related the the main antagonist ))
[22:16] * Grendel takes in the data, running it through his cogitators, searching the data that is available and comparing it to the data provided.
[22:17] <@BradGM> From what jon is describing, you can affirm with confidence that the star chart was one of the Koronus Expanse, soemwhere int he Western side.
[22:19] <Grendel> "Kronus expanse. Western aspect. Perhaps with access to more data I will be able to pinpoint it."
[22:20] * Mira_Atella nods. "Do you have the files on Gallus' death, and if not, will contacting Jex be an issue?"
[22:20] <Grendel> ((hmmm, do I?))
[22:21] <@BradGM> From the Gallus files, Gallus was 100% death...of course you had no DNA sample of biological readings to confirm that Gallus was Gallus.
[22:21] <Grendel> "The body was dead, but no way to verify that the body was Gallus."
[22:22] <@BradGM> ((in short soemone who was IDed as Gallus was killed by the Gloom Haunt on scintilla, but you only based on the fact that he was looking like Gallus.))
[22:22] <Mira_Atella> "Great. I'm really getting tired of killing him."
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((despite you enver having killed him once..))
[22:23] <Mira_Atella> (( Right ))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((hehe))
[22:24] * Grendel considers if the Adeptus Mechanicus station will have more information on the expanse, or if he'lll need to look elsewhere for data to refine the search.
[22:26] * Mira_Atella looks over to Jon, "Do you think you could draw the map in more detail for us to show someone that would be able to read it better?"
[22:26] <Jon_Wake> "I also noticed that there where three specific points that stood out. One was green, and two were blue, and I don't know what that mean" He then looks to Mira "Yes, I think I can do that"
[22:27] <@BradGM> Grendel; with the way Jon described the map, you figured if you can have a chart for the Expanse, Jon would be able to refine the search
[22:28] * Mira_Atella nods, "Good. Let's get on that. Grendel and I can find a cartographer while you do that. Sound good?"
[22:28] * Jon_Wake nods
[22:29] * Grendel considers the likely locations for a useful cartographer. "Very well."

Mira is equally unhappy about the manager’s extra all being for naught. Words begin to fly, and the manager quickly told them to leave; something the Throne Agents already planned on doing. They quickly changed strategy, taking two suites in two separate locations, with more obvious and reliable security measures, including their jury-rigged screamer alarms.
[20:34] <@BradGM> . Lyra and Mira began discussing ways to better conceal weapons while wearing their gowns, Grendel left for a Shield Shrine to clean his robes while Jon ventured into the markets, having dropped his disguise. He managed to buy what was missing to his usual kit, a well manoeuvrable and sturdy assault bike, while detecting and out shadowing a competent but oblivious Kasballica tail after him.
[20:34] <@BradGM> . The Judge even showed himself in the open with no reaction whatsoever from the female thug. Direct interaction even left the criminal denying everything and leaving, leaving him with only returning to rendez-vous with Grendel at the Lexturor suite. The Magos himself didn’t waste any time, managing to hack into the hotel’s internal security to gain access to its camera feed;

[22:39] * Grendel leads Mira to the cartographer. EVeryone loves Tech-Priests.
[22:41] <@BradGM> The carthographer is in a rather well-to-do section of the station. The old man with eyes and hand bionics manages to listen to you while he,s pearched over a map he's busy illuminating.
[22:42] <Mira_Atella> @@ We found a cartographer. How is the map coming? @@

[22:46] <@BradGM> Carthographer "Yes, I do happen to have a rather quality amp of the Expanse; a customer ordered it, but he never came back in decades to get it."

[22:55] <Grendel> ((I think most trades are based on Ag, but I'll look))
[22:55] <Mira_Atella> (( Only trade I have is fel based ))
[22:56] <Grendel> ((yeah, Cartographer is Ag. Presumably due to drawing))
[22:56] <Mira_Atella> (( hmm but you aren't drawing, you're just looking at if it's right.. ))
[22:56] <@BradGM> Grendel, the map looks..normal. There is nothing that seems out of the ordinary nor does anything seems to be a piece of art.
[22:57] <Grendel> "The price?"
[23:00] <@BradGM> Carthographer "You people pay in Throne Gelts as well correct? The price was set at 150 000."
[23:00] <Grendel> ((cough))
[23:01] <@BradGM> ((You got that money?))
[23:01] * Grendel calculates the available sums and finds himself short..and is sure the group is short as well.
[23:01] <Mira_Atella> "As this was a consignment piece, is there a discount as it has not been picked up by the original party in so long? You might never sell it after all."
[23:02] <Grendel> ((not I, not unless I missed alot of months of pay heh))
[23:03] * Mira_Atella speaks to Grendel in code, "Can you get a decent set of pics of it? We don't need the map itself if you can."
[23:05] <Grendel> ((I doubt its like a paper map? But if so, sure!))
[23:05] <@BradGM> ((Yes it's a paper map.))
[23:05] * Grendel attempts to scan the map to refine the location.

[23:18] * Mira_Atella looks for a bar or food location.
[23:19] <@BradGM> There are numerous bars and taverns around the station you cna enter. Grendel, you can see it is a human female, mathcing the description of jon,s own shadow earlier.
