[20:14] <@BradGM> +++Location: Bastion Sigmundum, Tricorn, Hive Sibellus; Scintilla+++
[20:14] <@BradGM> +++1721 Hours Hive Sibellus time+++
[20:14] <@BradGM> +++Having recived a bag filled with odd stones from Pajo Helk and taking a ride back uphive from the Crime Boss rather than treking back with Bowels, Grendel and Mira completed their part of the mission. Meanwhile, Elana Lzerus and Alaric were stuck waiting at the Arbites Fortress for a few hours before finally meeting Skane and giving her the tribute. Both group met back at the Tricorn, where they were taken to Watch Commander Boreale.+++
[20:14] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:16] <@BradGM> Baltazal leaves you. Commander Boreale observes you all. "You may relax your sights now. Simply do not move far and follow."
[20:17] * +Grendel` relaxes, folding his arms infront of him.
[20:17] <@BradGM> Boreale begins walking "So, for what purpose did I allow an audience?"
[20:18] * +Mira_Atella holds her hands in front of her, still covering the slice mark in her suit, following behind as they begin to walk.
[20:18] * +Grendel` lets the most personable person handle the discussion. Sadly, this might mean the Sister in this case.
[20:19] <@BradGM> ((sister or Psyker actually))
[20:19] * +Elana glances up, eyeing the Watch Commander with calm reservation, an odd mixture of respect and scepticism. Although used to quietly following orders, she chafes at receiving them from what the Sister still perceives as 'outsiders'.
[20:19] * +Grendel` checks to make sure the servo skull is still following.
[20:19] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers is still following you
[20:20] <+Elana> "We come bearing greetings from Inquisitor Jex and have been tasked to convey tribute"6, the Sister Militant begins. 1"If you are ready to accept it, we are ready to deliver."
[20:21] <@BradGM> Boreale "Hm."
[20:21] <@BradGM> He continues walking, as if awaiting more
[20:22] * +Elana pauses, as if she would expect more of an answer as well. Finally she continues, overcoming the awkward silence before it engulfs the room. 1"Understand that we have little knowledge of the arcane traditions established in these hallowed halls. We are but servants of His Divine Will."
[20:23] * +Grendel` walks slowly, his hands crossed infront of him, covered by the long arms of the robe.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Boreale "I care little for this games; but I am bound to be apart of them."
[20:25] * +Elana allows the corner of her mouth to reveal a thin smile. 1"As are we. Captain Rother - do as you were instructed."
[20:25] <@BradGM> You enter a large, yet spartan office, with only a small shrine to the Emperor, quite diffrent from what you usually see in the Temples, with a pair of servo-skulls moving papeers form shelves to shelves.
[20:25] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow slightly, smirking a bit at the shared sentiment, but doesn't speak and continues adjusting her pace to those ahead of her.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers flies toward Boreale, and then stops for a moment. Then the Astartes takes a cables out and connects himself to the servo-skull.
[20:28] * +Grendel` tilts his head, considering the action, watching closely.
[20:29] <@BradGM> Command Boreale looks at the servo-skull for a few seconds, before disconnecting himself. "Indeed, This is not something seens every day." *He walks to a large cabinet, and begins to use on a panel.
[20:30] * +Elana studies the Commander as he is attended by the arcane biomechanical construct, wondering what wonders the machine spirit is bestowing upon the Astartes.
[20:31] <@BradGM> The cabinet then opens, and form it, Commander Boreale takes a magnificent two-handed hammer, which the Astartes carries to you with not only a single hand, but very little effort.
[20:31] * Maelwys` (~who@99.111.254.118) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:32] * BradGM sets mode: +v Maelwys`
[20:32] <@BradGM> Boreale "You may tell yur master that I am satisfied. Bring him this as you must do and leave."
[20:32] * +Grendel` (~who@99.111.254.118) Quit (Ping timeout)
[20:32] <@BradGM> He extents his hand with the hammer to you.
[20:32] <@BradGM> ((you=Mockingbird))
[20:32] * +Mira_Atella lets out a quick sigh of relief that the sister has the power armor.
[20:33] * +Elana takes a short glance to the sides if one of the Acolytes will move forward to accept the weapon?
[20:33] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol the thing looks huge, she has the power armor, don't be a baby! ))
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((yeah, sister can't do it alone?))
[20:34] <+Elana> ((phht, lazy bastards :P))
[20:34] <@BradGM> ((not gonna hide behind your cannoness like a lil, novice?))
[20:34] * +Maelwys` steps forward to help.
[20:34] * Maelwys` is now known as Grendel`
[20:34] <+Elana> ((no helping, either you take it or you don't :P))
[20:36] * +Grendel` steps forward to accept the weapon.
[20:36] <@BradGM> Roll Strength-20
[20:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( this should be funny ))
[20:36] <+Elana> ((lol))
[20:37] <+Grendel`> ((can I get a small bonus for using both hands? :) ))
[20:37] * +Elana nods slightly. 1"We will do so. May He watch over you, Watch-Commander."
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((nope))
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((but))
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((you can yourself a +10 with a fate point before you roll))

[20:37] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 04 37%, Fail ]
[20:39] <@BradGM> You take the hammer, but you pummel of the handle touches the floor. Commander Boreale watches you with a wasting powerful, superior and extremely scrutinizing glare "Is everything all right, acolyte?"
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((*but the pummel))
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((and wasting=wastly))
[20:39] * +Mira_Atella gives the Sister a "look".
[20:40] * +Grendel` struggles to lift the weapon. "The Omnissiah has blessed this weaponwiththe gravity of the blessed Lathes it seems."
[20:40] * +Elana gives the Tech-Priest a judging look before interfering, attempting to relieve Grendel of the supposed relic.
[20:40] <@BradGM> First, Grendel, roll str-20 again
[20:41] <+Grendel`> ((I'll spend the last fate point for the +10 again)

[20:41] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 04 50%, Fail ]
[20:42] <@BradGM> you manage to barely lift it, using all your might, even your mecharendrite, which doesn't even help.
[20:43] <@BradGM> Now Elena you can help him, or have him help you.
[20:44] * +Grendel` makes sure his vox doesn't betray the strain. "We shall convey this blessed weapon to the Inquisitor."
[20:45] * +Elana will now attempt to take the hammer for herself, regardless of whether the Mechanicus cleric would help or not.
[20:46] * +Mira_Atella is about as close to laughing as she might ever get as she watches the scene, but keeps her composure.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Str-20
[20:48] * +Grendel` helps the Sister, since he really doesn't feel like staying infront of the Watch Commander struggling with the hammer.
[20:49] <+Elana> ((do I get the same +10 from the FP, and/or a further bonus from the Tech-Priest's assistance?))
[20:50] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[20:50] <@BradGM> ((or no, since you'Re a woman in 40k))
[20:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol ))
[20:50] <+Elana> ((ah yes, -4 STR :P))
[20:50] <@BradGM> ((so +6 with Power Armour))
[20:51] <+Elana> ((so what do I roll, for real now? ;P))
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((with Str(+10 if you sue a FP, +10 for assist, +10 for PA)-20 ))

[20:52] <+DiceServitor> Elana rolls [ 42% (or Lower) : 12 26%, Success ]
[20:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sorry, back))
[20:53] <@BradGM> Elana and Grendle manages to balnace the weight around and could carry the hammer back
[20:54] * +Grendel` helps carry the hammer, the mechadendrite with the censor repositioning itself to let the occasional waft of incense over the blessed weapon.
[20:54] * +Mira_Atella follows the Sister and the techie as they carry the hammer.
[20:56] <@BradGM> You are escorted back to the Door by Commander Boreale "I expect you will not falther and bring it to your Master in one walk."
[20:56] <+Elana> "A truly impressive weapon"6, she comments, allowing the Tech-Priest to show his reverence for the device. Together, they would leave the way they came, likely awaiting an escort to guide them through the portal.
[20:57] <+Elana> "Of course." 6The sound of her voice hints only slightly at the taste of insulted pride.
[20:58] <@BradGM> Boreale "Very Well. It would be..disapointing to hear otherwise."
[20:59] <@BradGM> The large doors opens up back into the Tricorn.
[20:59] * +Grendel` feels a bit vindicated since it took two people, one of which was in power armor to carry the weapon, quite litanies to the Omnissiah muttered through the vox as he walks.
[21:00] * +Mira_Atella follows behind them, but not too close.
[21:01] * +Elana moves with care out of respect for the weapon, remembering similar duties from her days at the convent.
[21:02] <@BradGM> You walk back using Captain Rothers as guide. Roll str again Elana
[21:02] * +Grendel` puts one foot infront of the other.
[21:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( I don't know why but I have this picture in my head of two little kids trying to carrying really big buckets of water with frogs in them, shuffling their feet as they walk because it's too heavy to lift their feet ))

[21:04] <+Elana> ((at least I didn't waste a FP this time - and unlike Grendel, my foot is armoured ...))
[21:04] <+Elana> ((nah))
[21:05] <@BradGM> Elana seems to be loosing her grip on most of the weight! Grendel, you can try to take the burden of it*
[21:05] <@BradGM> ((str-20, +10 for assist))
[21:05] <+Grendel`> !perc 21
[21:05] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 12 2%, Success ]

[21:06] <+Mira_Atella> (( It's Supertechie! ))
[21:07] <+Elana> ((:O))
[21:08] * +Elana 's armour groans in protest as the servos seem to loose compensation for a moment.
[21:09] <@BradGM> Grendel, you appears to actually be carrying the hammer, as to Elana seems only to be holding it
[21:09] * +Grendel` adjusts his grip, the whiff of incense from the mechadendrite blessing him the strength of the Omnissiah as he carries the hammer.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Incense envelops Grendel and Elana, and a rather large perimeter as well
[21:11] <@BradGM> ((5m around, right?))
[21:12] * +Mira_Atella coughs slightly and falls back a bit, but doesn't seem to be able to escape the smoke. "You guys doing *cough* Okay?"
[21:12] <+Grendel`> ((4m circumfrence))
[21:12] * +Elana attempts to adjust her pace and regain balance. 1"How much ... further is it?"
[21:14] <@BradGM> You're about halfway..maybe, you're just following Captain Rothers.
[21:14] <+Mira_Atella> "Maybe we could get a cart for it?"
[21:15] <+Grendel`> "The instructions were to carry it."
[21:16] * +Mira_Atella shrugs, not having heard that herself. "You do like the difficult way of things, so go for it."
[21:16] <+Elana> "The Magus speaks true ..."6 Elana grinds her teeth as the ordeal conjures memories from her time as a young novice, carrying the heavy ordnance of her fully-fledged Sisters.
[21:17] * +Grendel` continues on, the censor occasionally emitting a new burst of incense to celebrate the Omnissiah.
[21:17] <+Grendel`> ((Brb))
[21:18] <@BradGM> You finally arrives back into the Section of the Tricron that is luxurious and well-guarded, where the many Inquisitors have their studys.
[21:19] <+Grendel`> ((Back))
[21:20] <+Grendel`> "Captain Rother, find the Inquisitor, we have a delivery to make."
[21:20] <@BradGM> Another Roll Grendel

[21:21] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 04 68%, Fail ]

[21:22] <+Grendel`> ((Spent them both already heh))
[21:22] <+Elana> ((I'll try :P))
[21:22] <@BradGM> Grendel, you begin to loose force as you basically carried it this far all alone; Elana can try to grab it
[21:22] <+Elana> !perc 32
[21:22] <+DiceServitor> Elana rolls [ 32% (or Lower) : 04 78%, Fail ]

[21:23] <+Elana> ((... >_>))
[21:24] <@BradGM> You barely managed to catch the hammer as it began to tip out of Grendel's control. You're both holding it with the though that it's almost over
[21:25] * +Grendel` wraps the medicae mechadendrite around the shaft, steadying it as some of the weight is taken from his shoulders, the censor emiting another burst of incense.
[21:27] * +Grendel` orders Captain Rother to direct us to the Inquisitor.
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella leans close to the arbiter, "Be ready to dive for it if we have to."
[21:29] <@BradGM> You arrive to a walk section, and Inquisitor Jex comes out, followed by a heavy Lifting Servitor. "Ah, the Storm Of Basw. Excellent!"
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "Servitor, take the Hammer."
[21:32] * +Grendel` unwraps the mechadendrite from the haft of the hammer as he holds it still for the servitor.
[21:32] <@BradGM> The SErvitor lifts the Hammer with ease, if only with numerous servo-function of his rehinforced frame.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Jex "Report Mockingbird."
[21:33] <+Elana> "Inquisitor ..." 6The Sister manages to incline her head in some sort of greeting, bowing motion, returning to a less weird position once the weight of the relic is lifted from her.
[21:34] * +Mira_Atella comes up to stand next to the others.
[21:34] * +Elana does not waste any time in spite of aching muscles. 1"We have completed the tasks set before us, and come bearing greetings from the Emperor's servants we paid our respects to."
[21:37] * +Grendel` brings his mechadendrites back in close. "Watch Commander Boreale states that he is satisfied."
[21:37] * +Mira_Atella starts to say something, but remembers that the others hadn't met with Jex earlier as she and Grendel had.
[21:37] <@BradGM> Jex "Good. You may retreat to your quarters and await further instructions."
[21:38] * +Mira_Atella nods to Jex and turns on her heels, walking out and towards the house.
[21:38] * +Elana bows, turning to leave as well without further words.
[21:38] * +Lazerus_Grim follows the others
[21:39] * +Grendel` turns and heads for the house, the mechadendrites pulling in close as he walks with the others. "Another mission accomplished it seems."
[21:40] * +Mira_Atella stops as they're walking, "We should probably go see Bradon first."
[21:40] <+Mira_Atella> "As much as I really, really want a shower."
[21:40] * +Mira_Atella sighs.
[21:41] * +Grendel` nods. "To return the equipment, of course."
[21:41] * +Mira_Atella takes a moment to adjust her direction and heads for Bradon.
[21:42] <+Elana> "Duty before Rest"6, the Sister agrees. 1"I suppose we all have sufficient time to cleanse our bodies."
[21:42] <+Grendel`> "You had to climb through a sewer during your duties as well?"
[21:43] * +Grendel` turns and heads for Bradon.
[21:43] * +Mira_Atella wrinkles up her nose at the memory.
[21:44] <@BradGM> You both arrive at Bradon as Lazerus and Elana arrives at your quarters.
[21:44] * +Lazerus_Grim jumps in the shower while he has the time
[21:44] * +Mira_Atella returns the equipment that she signed out, pointing out the slice in the suit to Bradon, but otherwise shows no other damage aside from the slightly smell of sewer.
[21:45] <+Mira_Atella> "I think we're down a helmet though." Looks over to Grendel.
[21:46] * +Mira_Atella grabs her jacket while she's at it, draping it over her arm.
[21:46] <@BradGM> Bradon "Ah well, better a busted helmet than no head I always say! Nothing that can't be fixed."
[21:46] * +Elana raises a brow at the comment, yet refrains from a retort, instead preferring the path to her quarters. Seeking solitude and surmising a period of peace, she disarms and disrobes, partaking in that which was - for the time being - refused to Mira.
[21:46] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Better than getting hat'd, yeah."
[21:47] <+Mira_Atella> (( Mira still has the pot too from Bowel, right? ))
[21:47] <@BradGM> Bradon "Oh he's still at his stories isn't he? He told you the one about the giant spiders?"
[21:47] <@BradGM> ((no he took it when you entered Toxic Falls))
[21:47] * +Grendel` starts to return the equipment to Bradon. "Who would we see about thrones spent?"
[21:48] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head, "Didn't hear that one. He might not be too happy though, we didn't need him to show us the way back, so he felt he'd been cheated a bit."
[21:48] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "We.. don't get reimbursed, as far as I know."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Bradon "If you got receits you might be; not here thoguht."
[21:49] * +Mira_Atella snickers at the idea of receipts.
[21:49] <@BradGM> Bradon checks the equipment "Hum..*checks papers* Grendel, it says here you took a whole guardsman flak armour..it's missing the helmet."
[21:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol I thought we just talked about that ))
[21:50] * +Grendel` nods. "As she said, we are down a helmet."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Bradon "so you didn't brought it back why?"
[21:53] <+Grendel`> "it was too damaged and served as payment for our travels."
[21:54] <@BradGM> He makes a grumpy face of dissapointment "Well, you know how things work in here; It'll be deduced from your pay."
[21:55] * +Grendel` frowns beneath his respirator. "I...see."
[21:55] <+Elana> ((I'm waiting for one of you to pull a 'no wonder they got extinct' comment))
[21:56] <@BradGM> Bradon "don't worry about the paperpwork for that; I'll hanlde it."
[21:57] * +Grendel` nods slowly. "Very well. I will keep this in mind."
[21:57] <+Mira_Atella> "All set? I really need a shower."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Bradon "Yup, everything's all right with you Mira. You can go and take it easy."
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( hah this kid I know (he's 19, but still a kid pretty much) just saw Clockwork Orange and said that's the trippiest movie he's ever seen. I said no no no.. you need to see Tommy and The Wall ))
[21:59] * +Mira_Atella nods and gives a smile, "Until next time."
[21:59] <+Elana> ((lol))
[22:00] * +Mira_Atella heads back to the house, looking for either of the bathrooms to be empty.
[22:00] <+Elana> ((shall we roll the dice? ;))
[22:00] <@BradGM> Lazerus is finsihing a shower in one of them, Alaric exits from the other.
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh thought Elana was in the one ))
[22:01] <+Elana> ((shht! details))
[22:01] * +Mira_Atella slips in to the first one free and locks the door, taking her time with her shower.
[22:01] * +Grendel` returns to the domicile, awaiting his turn.
[22:02] * +Elana has donned a fresh robe and kneels in a corner, apparently meditating? Praying? Doing sister-stuff, presumably.
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((Well, you,re in your room, doing sister stuff yeah))
[22:03] * +Mira_Atella finishes and slips in to her normal body glove, not worrying about shoes at the time as she goes out and lays down on the couch, letting out an exhaustive sigh.
[22:03] * +Grendel` finds an empty shower and cleanses what remains of his flesh.
[22:04] <+Elana> "You are feeling well again?" 6She keeps her eyes closed, not moving an inch.
[22:05] <+Mira_Atella> "A bit.. I need to not have heels on my boots next time, walking bent over in the sewer for a long time in heels was not comfortable to one's spine. How did your trip go?"
[22:06] * +Lazerus_Grim dons his robes and mask and joins the ladies.
[22:07] * +Grendel` makes sure his mechanicus robes are clean aside from the properly positioned stains of sacred machine oil before donning it again.
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((One bing happy Inquisitorial family))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((Just needs the fireplace))
[22:09] <+Elana> ((I can provide that.))
[22:09] <+Grendel`> ((to roast the Psyker))
[22:09] <+Elana> ((we even have a witch to bu...))
[22:09] <+Elana> (( ;) ))
[22:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[22:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( Elana doesn't stay with them during downtime though, does she? ))
[22:10] * +Grendel` removes himself from the cleansing station and moves on to the food distribution room, fixing himself an Omnissiah approved snack, since he's been walking all over the place this day.
[22:11] <+Grendel`> ((long downtimes, probably not. Short downtimes like this I'm sure she's got a trundle bed tucked away someplace))
[22:11] * +Elana turns her head, taking a glance over the shoulder. 1"Vexing. I suppose I would have traded places, were we given a choice." 6She turns her head forward again, moving her shoulders as if to relax the muscles. 1"And yes, you do"6, she adds.
[22:12] <+Elana> ((sounds like, yeah - longer duration, i.e. anything over a few weeks, means return to the convent))
[22:12] <+Elana> ((what's an Omnissian-approved snack? a Mars bar? *badum-tshhh*))
[22:13] <+Mira_Atella> "We had a run in with a street gang, though we dispatched them pretty easily. Other than that, and something that tried to eat Grendel's head, and the riots with the fires and such, it wasn't bad."
[22:13] <+Grendel`> "The return was somewhat comfortable."
[22:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( It was a normal day, Starbucks to start with, some time at the mall, the apocalypse happened, hell on earth, but we stopped by Coldstone on the way home, I love their vanilla.. lol ))
[22:14] * +Elana narrows her brows. 1"It seems you have done well, then - His hand was guiding both your steps and your blows. Regrettable I was not there to witness."
[22:15] <+Mira_Atella> "Next time, I'm sure."
[22:15] * +Mira_Atella leans her head back on the arm of the couch and closes her eyes.
[22:16] <+Grendel`> "The Omnissiah provides."
[22:18] <+Elana> "The Emperor protects." 6An addendum. Or a contradiction?
[22:18] * +Grendel` uses his hands to silently make the sign of the cog.
[22:20] * +Grendel` continues to replenish his energy reserves for the day.
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((3 days will pass..do anything in perticular?))
[22:21] <+Elana> ((praying. :P))
[22:21] <+Mira_Atella> (( nothing special for me, maybe go chat with Bradon a bit ))
[22:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((flagellation))
[22:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((and Bradon))
[22:23] <+Grendel`> ((pray over the weapons, maybe start scrimshawing on one))

[22:26] <@BradGM> ((I would say one for the 3 days))
[22:26] * +Grendel` frowns and makes a note to get his augmentics adjusted next time he is at the Forgeworlds.
[22:27] <+Grendel`> ((I'll scrimshaw the second day, see how it turns out..if its another bad roll, then the third day will be spent hanging out with other Tech-Priests around the area))

[22:31] <@BradGM> Your clown face begins to looks a bit more like a cog..a little
[22:31] <@BradGM> ((like a mecaniclown))
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( that's not creepy at all *cowers* ))
[22:32] * +Grendel` takes a break and on the third day spend time among the machinery in the Tricorn.
[22:32] <+Elana> (( you are now picturing a smiling AdMech-logo ))
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((smily-cog))

[22:36] * Ralia (Victrix@rrcs-71-41-160-142.sw.biz.rr.com) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((ok, no one does anything else?))
[22:38] <+Mira_Atella> (( nope, just swapping stories with Bradon, fun times ))
[22:39] <+Elana> (( is there a shrine on the Tricorn? if yes, then of course I'd pay that one a visit ))
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((there's one))
[22:40] <@BradGM> 3 Days later, as you're having having breakfast, the door rings!
[22:41] <+Mira_Atella> "We need a servitor.." She stands up and goes to open the door.
[22:41] * +Grendel` thinks that since he didn't have to get up and answer the door, he does have a servitor.
[22:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( :P ))
[22:42] <+Elana> (( XD ))
[22:43] <@BradGM> You are face to face with Captain Rothers!
[22:43] <+Mira_Atella> "Captain.." She steps back, allowing the skull to enter.
[22:43] <+Elana> "Sloth is the mother of neglect"6, she comments at Mira's suggestion, probably reciting part of some religious scribble out of the big book she seems to have memorized.
[22:44] * +Elana ... before returning to her meal, not even looking up.
[22:44] * +Mira_Atella thinks that in an odd way, her request for a servitor was answered as well.
[22:45] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers flies to the vox-caster and plugs himself in. Jex's voice booms out "Mockingbird, report to Briefing room 8. Captain Rothers will take you take."
[22:46] * +Elana rises from the table, apparently intent on following the order immediately.
[22:46] * +Mira_Atella gathers her few things and puts on her jacket, taking a piece of bread with her.
[22:47] * +Lazerus_Grim grabs his gear and follows the Sister out the door
[22:47] * +Grendel` gets to his feet, and straightens his robes, waiting until everyone is ready, before instructing Captain Rother to lead the way in binary.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers takes you to Briefing Room 8, where Inquisitor Jex is waiting for you.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Jex "Sit down, Mockingbird."
[22:51] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod and takes a seat.
[22:52] * +Grendel` finds a chair built with a tech-priest in mind and sits down.
[22:52] * +Lazerus_Grim sits
[22:52] * +Elana follows suit.
[22:56] <@BradGM> Jex "Well, I have jsut returned from the Conclave reunion, and from what I have heard you must be congradulated...FOR YOUR FAILURE!" *He points accusingly at you and rises up form his seat, enraged.
[22:57] * +Grendel` stiffens along with his mechadendrites, wondering what the Inquisitor is talking about.
[22:57] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow, not exactly looking surprised.
[22:58] <@BradGM> Jex "You have not properly given Inquisitor Skane's her due! You have rendered me a fool in front of my own Peers!"
[22:59] <@BradGM> Jex "What do you have to say for yourselves?"
[22:59] * +Elana cannot suppress a blinking motion, reflexively holding her breath for a moment before she speaks up: 1"But, Inquisitor ... I do not understand - we have done as we were told!"
[23:00] * +Grendel` glances over to the Sister and the Psyker.
[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( Alaric did that one with her, not Grim.. unless the page is wrong heh ))
[23:01] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((all three of us did))
[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, you got left off on the page, lucky you! ))
[23:02] <@BradGM> Jex "LIES! I have heard if from Vaabak and Skane themselves...Or are you calling faithful Inquisitors LIARS?"
[23:03] * +Elana clenches her teeth.
[23:03] <@BradGM> Jex "Well? Answer!"
[23:05] <+Elana> "Of course not"6, she finally responds calmly. A lesson driven home years ago in the convent.
[23:05] * +Grendel` looks curiously at the rest of the group, having been told these missions were done.
[23:07] * +Mira_Atella has nothing that she could add, so she remains silent.
[23:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Dissappointment. And Rage, that is what burn within! A few simple courrier tasks and you cannot accomplish it? You should be ashamed Mockingbird! You are in the Inquisition! Not whatever insignificant group you once belonged to. Failure is NEVER an option."
[23:08] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Would you kindly explain exactly how we failed to complete our missions?"
[23:09] * +Lazerus_Grim tries to say in as calm a tone as possible, not liking to be called a failure.
[23:09] <@BradGM> Jex "As said, you have failed to give the FULL TRIBUTE to Inquisitor Skane."
[23:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> "What part did we fail to give?"
[23:10] <@BradGM> Jex "Grain for the body, pain for the soul; Grain was given but no pain was felt nor given!"
[23:10] * +Elana clenches her fists as she feels taunted, yet managing to maintain composure.
[23:11] <+Elana> "Perhaps if you could explain clearly - we are not used to such ancient ... rituals."
[23:12] <@BradGM> Jex "What is so complicated for your mind to understand? Take something from someone, and bring it to another."
[23:12] <@BradGM> Jex "Clearly, I have been negligent; you are far from being ready from what must be undertaken."
[23:12] * X sets mode: +o SuperFly
[23:14] <@BradGM> Jex "Yet I have invested much in you; and I am not one to waste manpower. So I shall give you another chance to proove your worth."
[23:14] * +Mira_Atella retrieves her data slate, going over the information given to them about each step they were to take, not seeing anything about grain or pain mentioned anywhere.
[23:14] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((that must have been said specifically to Elana from Vaabak))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, well she's just checking then to make sure it wasn't a clear error heh ))
[23:15] <+Elana> "With respect, Inquisitor"6, she pauses for a mere heartbeat, 1"we are no missive-servitors, we are instruments of His Divine Will. Give us a task more apt to our nature, and we shall not disappoint."
[23:15] * +Mira_Atella slips the slate back in place.
[23:17] <@BradGM> Jex "SILENCE! A true servant welcomes his lot, whatever it may be!"
[23:17] * +Lazerus_Grim stands
[23:18] * +Elana wilfully narrows her eyes, yet does not speak up anymore.
[23:18] * +Grendel` frowns behind the respirator, listening to the tirade.
[23:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I would like the opportunity to complete our mission. My fellow acolytes may join me if they wish."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex "It is too late for that Lazerus. What is done is done and cannot be undone."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex gets out a dataslate and puts it on the table.
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex "One more chance. Do not fail me again."
[23:19] * +Lazerus_Grim picks it up and looks it over
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((too far out lazarus))
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex exits the room**
[23:20] <+Grendel`> "What was forgotten? What was this Pain?"
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((now you can get it))
[23:20] * +Lazerus_Grim walks up to the table and picks it up, looking it over

[20:14] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:16] <@BradGM> Baltazal leaves you. Commander Boreale observes you all. "You may relax your sights now. Simply do not move far and follow."
[20:17] * +Grendel` relaxes, folding his arms infront of him.
[20:17] <@BradGM> Boreale begins walking "So, for what purpose did I allow an audience?"
[20:18] * +Mira_Atella holds her hands in front of her, still covering the slice mark in her suit, following behind as they begin to walk.
[20:18] * +Grendel` lets the most personable person handle the discussion. Sadly, this might mean the Sister in this case.
[20:19] <@BradGM> ((sister or Psyker actually))
[20:19] * +Elana glances up, eyeing the Watch Commander with calm reservation, an odd mixture of respect and scepticism. Although used to quietly following orders, she chafes at receiving them from what the Sister still perceives as 'outsiders'.
[20:19] * +Grendel` checks to make sure the servo skull is still following.
[20:19] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers is still following you
[20:20] <+Elana> "We come bearing greetings from Inquisitor Jex and have been tasked to convey tribute"6, the Sister Militant begins. 1"If you are ready to accept it, we are ready to deliver."
[20:21] <@BradGM> Boreale "Hm."
[20:21] <@BradGM> He continues walking, as if awaiting more
[20:22] * +Elana pauses, as if she would expect more of an answer as well. Finally she continues, overcoming the awkward silence before it engulfs the room. 1"Understand that we have little knowledge of the arcane traditions established in these hallowed halls. We are but servants of His Divine Will."
[20:23] * +Grendel` walks slowly, his hands crossed infront of him, covered by the long arms of the robe.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Boreale "I care little for this games; but I am bound to be apart of them."
[20:25] * +Elana allows the corner of her mouth to reveal a thin smile. 1"As are we. Captain Rother - do as you were instructed."
[20:25] <@BradGM> You enter a large, yet spartan office, with only a small shrine to the Emperor, quite diffrent from what you usually see in the Temples, with a pair of servo-skulls moving papeers form shelves to shelves.
[20:25] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow slightly, smirking a bit at the shared sentiment, but doesn't speak and continues adjusting her pace to those ahead of her.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers flies toward Boreale, and then stops for a moment. Then the Astartes takes a cables out and connects himself to the servo-skull.
[20:28] * +Grendel` tilts his head, considering the action, watching closely.
[20:29] <@BradGM> Command Boreale looks at the servo-skull for a few seconds, before disconnecting himself. "Indeed, This is not something seens every day." *He walks to a large cabinet, and begins to use on a panel.
[20:30] * +Elana studies the Commander as he is attended by the arcane biomechanical construct, wondering what wonders the machine spirit is bestowing upon the Astartes.
[20:31] <@BradGM> The cabinet then opens, and form it, Commander Boreale takes a magnificent two-handed hammer, which the Astartes carries to you with not only a single hand, but very little effort.
[20:31] * Maelwys` (~who@99.111.254.118) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:32] * BradGM sets mode: +v Maelwys`
[20:32] <@BradGM> Boreale "You may tell yur master that I am satisfied. Bring him this as you must do and leave."
[20:32] * +Grendel` (~who@99.111.254.118) Quit (Ping timeout)
[20:32] <@BradGM> He extents his hand with the hammer to you.
[20:32] <@BradGM> ((you=Mockingbird))
[20:32] * +Mira_Atella lets out a quick sigh of relief that the sister has the power armor.
[20:33] * +Elana takes a short glance to the sides if one of the Acolytes will move forward to accept the weapon?
[20:33] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol the thing looks huge, she has the power armor, don't be a baby! ))
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((yeah, sister can't do it alone?))
[20:34] <+Elana> ((phht, lazy bastards :P))
[20:34] <@BradGM> ((not gonna hide behind your cannoness like a lil, novice?))
[20:34] * +Maelwys` steps forward to help.
[20:34] * Maelwys` is now known as Grendel`
[20:34] <+Elana> ((no helping, either you take it or you don't :P))
[20:36] * +Grendel` steps forward to accept the weapon.
[20:36] <@BradGM> Roll Strength-20
[20:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( this should be funny ))
[20:36] <+Elana> ((lol))
[20:37] <+Grendel`> ((can I get a small bonus for using both hands? :) ))
[20:37] * +Elana nods slightly. 1"We will do so. May He watch over you, Watch-Commander."
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((nope))
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((but))
[20:37] <@BradGM> ((you can yourself a +10 with a fate point before you roll))

[20:37] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 04 37%, Fail ]
[20:39] <@BradGM> You take the hammer, but you pummel of the handle touches the floor. Commander Boreale watches you with a wasting powerful, superior and extremely scrutinizing glare "Is everything all right, acolyte?"
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((*but the pummel))
[20:39] <@BradGM> ((and wasting=wastly))
[20:39] * +Mira_Atella gives the Sister a "look".
[20:40] * +Grendel` struggles to lift the weapon. "The Omnissiah has blessed this weaponwiththe gravity of the blessed Lathes it seems."
[20:40] * +Elana gives the Tech-Priest a judging look before interfering, attempting to relieve Grendel of the supposed relic.
[20:40] <@BradGM> First, Grendel, roll str-20 again
[20:41] <+Grendel`> ((I'll spend the last fate point for the +10 again)

[20:41] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 21% (or Lower) : 04 50%, Fail ]
[20:42] <@BradGM> you manage to barely lift it, using all your might, even your mecharendrite, which doesn't even help.
[20:43] <@BradGM> Now Elena you can help him, or have him help you.
[20:44] * +Grendel` makes sure his vox doesn't betray the strain. "We shall convey this blessed weapon to the Inquisitor."
[20:45] * +Elana will now attempt to take the hammer for herself, regardless of whether the Mechanicus cleric would help or not.
[20:46] * +Mira_Atella is about as close to laughing as she might ever get as she watches the scene, but keeps her composure.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Str-20
[20:48] * +Grendel` helps the Sister, since he really doesn't feel like staying infront of the Watch Commander struggling with the hammer.
[20:49] <+Elana> ((do I get the same +10 from the FP, and/or a further bonus from the Tech-Priest's assistance?))
[20:50] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[20:50] <@BradGM> ((or no, since you'Re a woman in 40k))

[20:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sorry, back))
[20:53] <@BradGM> Elana and Grendle manages to balnace the weight around and could carry the hammer back
[20:54] * +Grendel` helps carry the hammer, the mechadendrite with the censor repositioning itself to let the occasional waft of incense over the blessed weapon.
[20:54] * +Mira_Atella follows the Sister and the techie as they carry the hammer.
[20:56] <@BradGM> You are escorted back to the Door by Commander Boreale "I expect you will not falther and bring it to your Master in one walk."
[20:56] <+Elana> "A truly impressive weapon"6, she comments, allowing the Tech-Priest to show his reverence for the device. Together, they would leave the way they came, likely awaiting an escort to guide them through the portal.
[20:57] <+Elana> "Of course." 6The sound of her voice hints only slightly at the taste of insulted pride.
[20:58] <@BradGM> Boreale "Very Well. It would be..disapointing to hear otherwise."
[20:59] <@BradGM> The large doors opens up back into the Tricorn.
[20:59] * +Grendel` feels a bit vindicated since it took two people, one of which was in power armor to carry the weapon, quite litanies to the Omnissiah muttered through the vox as he walks.
[21:00] * +Mira_Atella follows behind them, but not too close.
[21:01] * +Elana moves with care out of respect for the weapon, remembering similar duties from her days at the convent.
[21:02] <@BradGM> You walk back using Captain Rothers as guide. Roll str again Elana
[21:02] * +Grendel` puts one foot infront of the other.
[21:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( I don't know why but I have this picture in my head of two little kids trying to carrying really big buckets of water with frogs in them, shuffling their feet as they walk because it's too heavy to lift their feet ))

[21:04] <+Elana> ((nah))
[21:05] <@BradGM> Elana seems to be loosing her grip on most of the weight! Grendel, you can try to take the burden of it*

[21:08] * +Elana 's armour groans in protest as the servos seem to loose compensation for a moment.
[21:09] <@BradGM> Grendel, you appears to actually be carrying the hammer, as to Elana seems only to be holding it
[21:09] * +Grendel` adjusts his grip, the whiff of incense from the mechadendrite blessing him the strength of the Omnissiah as he carries the hammer.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Incense envelops Grendel and Elana, and a rather large perimeter as well
[21:11] <@BradGM> ((5m around, right?))
[21:12] * +Mira_Atella coughs slightly and falls back a bit, but doesn't seem to be able to escape the smoke. "You guys doing *cough* Okay?"
[21:12] <+Grendel`> ((4m circumfrence))
[21:12] * +Elana attempts to adjust her pace and regain balance. 1"How much ... further is it?"
[21:14] <@BradGM> You're about halfway..maybe, you're just following Captain Rothers.
[21:14] <+Mira_Atella> "Maybe we could get a cart for it?"
[21:15] <+Grendel`> "The instructions were to carry it."
[21:16] * +Mira_Atella shrugs, not having heard that herself. "You do like the difficult way of things, so go for it."
[21:16] <+Elana> "The Magus speaks true ..."6 Elana grinds her teeth as the ordeal conjures memories from her time as a young novice, carrying the heavy ordnance of her fully-fledged Sisters.
[21:17] * +Grendel` continues on, the censor occasionally emitting a new burst of incense to celebrate the Omnissiah.
[21:17] <+Grendel`> ((Brb))
[21:18] <@BradGM> You finally arrives back into the Section of the Tricron that is luxurious and well-guarded, where the many Inquisitors have their studys.
[21:19] <+Grendel`> ((Back))

[21:24] <@BradGM> You barely managed to catch the hammer as it began to tip out of Grendel's control. You're both holding it with the though that it's almost over
[21:25] * +Grendel` wraps the medicae mechadendrite around the shaft, steadying it as some of the weight is taken from his shoulders, the censor emiting another burst of incense.
[21:27] * +Grendel` orders Captain Rother to direct us to the Inquisitor.
[21:27] * +Mira_Atella leans close to the arbiter, "Be ready to dive for it if we have to."
[21:29] <@BradGM> You arrive to a walk section, and Inquisitor Jex comes out, followed by a heavy Lifting Servitor. "Ah, the Storm Of Basw. Excellent!"
[21:30] <@BradGM> Jex "Servitor, take the Hammer."
[21:32] * +Grendel` unwraps the mechadendrite from the haft of the hammer as he holds it still for the servitor.
[21:32] <@BradGM> The SErvitor lifts the Hammer with ease, if only with numerous servo-function of his rehinforced frame.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Jex "Report Mockingbird."
[21:33] <+Elana> "Inquisitor ..." 6The Sister manages to incline her head in some sort of greeting, bowing motion, returning to a less weird position once the weight of the relic is lifted from her.
[21:34] * +Mira_Atella comes up to stand next to the others.
[21:34] * +Elana does not waste any time in spite of aching muscles. 1"We have completed the tasks set before us, and come bearing greetings from the Emperor's servants we paid our respects to."
[21:37] * +Grendel` brings his mechadendrites back in close. "Watch Commander Boreale states that he is satisfied."
[21:37] * +Mira_Atella starts to say something, but remembers that the others hadn't met with Jex earlier as she and Grendel had.
[21:37] <@BradGM> Jex "Good. You may retreat to your quarters and await further instructions."
[21:38] * +Mira_Atella nods to Jex and turns on her heels, walking out and towards the house.
[21:38] * +Elana bows, turning to leave as well without further words.
[21:38] * +Lazerus_Grim follows the others
[21:39] * +Grendel` turns and heads for the house, the mechadendrites pulling in close as he walks with the others. "Another mission accomplished it seems."
[21:40] * +Mira_Atella stops as they're walking, "We should probably go see Bradon first."
[21:40] <+Mira_Atella> "As much as I really, really want a shower."
[21:40] * +Mira_Atella sighs.
[21:41] * +Grendel` nods. "To return the equipment, of course."
[21:41] * +Mira_Atella takes a moment to adjust her direction and heads for Bradon.
[21:42] <+Elana> "Duty before Rest"6, the Sister agrees. 1"I suppose we all have sufficient time to cleanse our bodies."
[21:42] <+Grendel`> "You had to climb through a sewer during your duties as well?"
[21:43] * +Grendel` turns and heads for Bradon.
[21:43] * +Mira_Atella wrinkles up her nose at the memory.
[21:44] <@BradGM> You both arrive at Bradon as Lazerus and Elana arrives at your quarters.
[21:44] * +Lazerus_Grim jumps in the shower while he has the time
[21:44] * +Mira_Atella returns the equipment that she signed out, pointing out the slice in the suit to Bradon, but otherwise shows no other damage aside from the slightly smell of sewer.
[21:45] <+Mira_Atella> "I think we're down a helmet though." Looks over to Grendel.
[21:46] * +Mira_Atella grabs her jacket while she's at it, draping it over her arm.
[21:46] <@BradGM> Bradon "Ah well, better a busted helmet than no head I always say! Nothing that can't be fixed."
[21:46] * +Elana raises a brow at the comment, yet refrains from a retort, instead preferring the path to her quarters. Seeking solitude and surmising a period of peace, she disarms and disrobes, partaking in that which was - for the time being - refused to Mira.
[21:46] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Better than getting hat'd, yeah."
[21:47] <+Mira_Atella> (( Mira still has the pot too from Bowel, right? ))
[21:47] <@BradGM> Bradon "Oh he's still at his stories isn't he? He told you the one about the giant spiders?"
[21:47] <@BradGM> ((no he took it when you entered Toxic Falls))
[21:47] * +Grendel` starts to return the equipment to Bradon. "Who would we see about thrones spent?"
[21:48] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head, "Didn't hear that one. He might not be too happy though, we didn't need him to show us the way back, so he felt he'd been cheated a bit."
[21:48] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "We.. don't get reimbursed, as far as I know."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Bradon "If you got receits you might be; not here thoguht."
[21:49] * +Mira_Atella snickers at the idea of receipts.
[21:49] <@BradGM> Bradon checks the equipment "Hum..*checks papers* Grendel, it says here you took a whole guardsman flak armour..it's missing the helmet."
[21:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol I thought we just talked about that ))
[21:50] * +Grendel` nods. "As she said, we are down a helmet."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Bradon "so you didn't brought it back why?"
[21:53] <+Grendel`> "it was too damaged and served as payment for our travels."
[21:54] <@BradGM> He makes a grumpy face of dissapointment "Well, you know how things work in here; It'll be deduced from your pay."
[21:55] * +Grendel` frowns beneath his respirator. "I...see."
[21:55] <+Elana> ((I'm waiting for one of you to pull a 'no wonder they got extinct' comment))
[21:56] <@BradGM> Bradon "don't worry about the paperpwork for that; I'll hanlde it."
[21:57] * +Grendel` nods slowly. "Very well. I will keep this in mind."
[21:57] <+Mira_Atella> "All set? I really need a shower."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Bradon "Yup, everything's all right with you Mira. You can go and take it easy."
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( hah this kid I know (he's 19, but still a kid pretty much) just saw Clockwork Orange and said that's the trippiest movie he's ever seen. I said no no no.. you need to see Tommy and The Wall ))
[21:59] * +Mira_Atella nods and gives a smile, "Until next time."
[21:59] <+Elana> ((lol))
[22:00] * +Mira_Atella heads back to the house, looking for either of the bathrooms to be empty.
[22:00] <+Elana> ((shall we roll the dice? ;))
[22:00] <@BradGM> Lazerus is finsihing a shower in one of them, Alaric exits from the other.
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh thought Elana was in the one ))
[22:01] <+Elana> ((shht! details))
[22:01] * +Mira_Atella slips in to the first one free and locks the door, taking her time with her shower.
[22:01] * +Grendel` returns to the domicile, awaiting his turn.
[22:02] * +Elana has donned a fresh robe and kneels in a corner, apparently meditating? Praying? Doing sister-stuff, presumably.
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((Well, you,re in your room, doing sister stuff yeah))
[22:03] * +Mira_Atella finishes and slips in to her normal body glove, not worrying about shoes at the time as she goes out and lays down on the couch, letting out an exhaustive sigh.
[22:03] * +Grendel` finds an empty shower and cleanses what remains of his flesh.
[22:04] <+Elana> "You are feeling well again?" 6She keeps her eyes closed, not moving an inch.
[22:05] <+Mira_Atella> "A bit.. I need to not have heels on my boots next time, walking bent over in the sewer for a long time in heels was not comfortable to one's spine. How did your trip go?"
[22:06] * +Lazerus_Grim dons his robes and mask and joins the ladies.
[22:07] * +Grendel` makes sure his mechanicus robes are clean aside from the properly positioned stains of sacred machine oil before donning it again.
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((One bing happy Inquisitorial family))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((Just needs the fireplace))
[22:09] <+Elana> ((I can provide that.))
[22:09] <+Grendel`> ((to roast the Psyker))
[22:09] <+Elana> ((we even have a witch to bu...))
[22:09] <+Elana> (( ;) ))
[22:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[22:10] <+Mira_Atella> (( Elana doesn't stay with them during downtime though, does she? ))
[22:10] * +Grendel` removes himself from the cleansing station and moves on to the food distribution room, fixing himself an Omnissiah approved snack, since he's been walking all over the place this day.
[22:11] <+Grendel`> ((long downtimes, probably not. Short downtimes like this I'm sure she's got a trundle bed tucked away someplace))
[22:11] * +Elana turns her head, taking a glance over the shoulder. 1"Vexing. I suppose I would have traded places, were we given a choice." 6She turns her head forward again, moving her shoulders as if to relax the muscles. 1"And yes, you do"6, she adds.
[22:12] <+Elana> ((sounds like, yeah - longer duration, i.e. anything over a few weeks, means return to the convent))
[22:12] <+Elana> ((what's an Omnissian-approved snack? a Mars bar? *badum-tshhh*))
[22:13] <+Mira_Atella> "We had a run in with a street gang, though we dispatched them pretty easily. Other than that, and something that tried to eat Grendel's head, and the riots with the fires and such, it wasn't bad."
[22:13] <+Grendel`> "The return was somewhat comfortable."
[22:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( It was a normal day, Starbucks to start with, some time at the mall, the apocalypse happened, hell on earth, but we stopped by Coldstone on the way home, I love their vanilla.. lol ))
[22:14] * +Elana narrows her brows. 1"It seems you have done well, then - His hand was guiding both your steps and your blows. Regrettable I was not there to witness."
[22:15] <+Mira_Atella> "Next time, I'm sure."
[22:15] * +Mira_Atella leans her head back on the arm of the couch and closes her eyes.
[22:16] <+Grendel`> "The Omnissiah provides."
[22:18] <+Elana> "The Emperor protects." 6An addendum. Or a contradiction?
[22:18] * +Grendel` uses his hands to silently make the sign of the cog.
[22:20] * +Grendel` continues to replenish his energy reserves for the day.
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((3 days will pass..do anything in perticular?))
[22:21] <+Elana> ((praying. :P))
[22:21] <+Mira_Atella> (( nothing special for me, maybe go chat with Bradon a bit ))
[22:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((flagellation))
[22:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((and Bradon))
[22:23] <+Grendel`> ((pray over the weapons, maybe start scrimshawing on one))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((I love Lazerus' time psender))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((if you scrimshaw, roll it Grendel))
[22:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((well not at the same time))
[22:25] <+Grendel`> !perc 31
[22:25] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 31% (or Lower) : 04 64%, Fail ]
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((aaaww...))
[22:25] <+Grendel`> ((Sigh))
[22:25] <+Elana> ((how many times can you do it?))
[22:25] <@BradGM> Grendel, you beign making a small cog on your laspistol, but it ends up as some clown face
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( lol ))
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((I would say one for the 3 days))
[22:26] * +Grendel` frowns and makes a note to get his augmentics adjusted next time he is at the Forgeworlds.
[22:27] <+Grendel`> ((I'll scrimshaw the second day, see how it turns out..if its another bad roll, then the third day will be spent hanging out with other Tech-Priests around the area))
[22:28] <+Elana> ((clown faces are totally grimdark http://lexx.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cleansing ))
[22:28] <+Grendel`> !perc 31
[22:28] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 31% (or Lower) : 12 17%, Success ]
[22:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh I thought he meant you got to do it once for the whole of the 3 days ))
[22:29] <+Grendel`> ((oh...well...up to the GM))
[22:31] <@BradGM> Your clown face begins to looks a bit more like a cog..a little
[22:31] <@BradGM> ((like a mecaniclown))
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( that's not creepy at all *cowers* ))
[22:32] * +Grendel` takes a break and on the third day spend time among the machinery in the Tricorn.
[22:32] <+Elana> (( you are now picturing a smiling AdMech-logo ))
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((smily-cog))
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((tuirns you into a servitor with a smile))
[22:35] <+Mira_Atella> (( slap on a wig and call it Shelly ))
[22:35] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[22:36] <+Grendel`> ((other than that, the third day will just be hanging out with machines and tech-priests..you know, normal people))
[22:36] * RyuDraconis (~RyuDracon@adsl-70-132-97-53.dsl.snfc21.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:36] * Ralia (Victrix@rrcs-71-41-160-142.sw.biz.rr.com) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((ok, no one does anything else?))
[22:38] <+Mira_Atella> (( nope, just swapping stories with Bradon, fun times ))
[22:39] <+Elana> (( is there a shrine on the Tricorn? if yes, then of course I'd pay that one a visit ))
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((there's one))
[22:40] <@BradGM> 3 Days later, as you're having having breakfast, the door rings!
[22:41] <+Mira_Atella> "We need a servitor.." She stands up and goes to open the door.
[22:41] * +Grendel` thinks that since he didn't have to get up and answer the door, he does have a servitor.
[22:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( :P ))
[22:42] <+Elana> (( XD ))
[22:43] <@BradGM> You are face to face with Captain Rothers!
[22:43] <+Mira_Atella> "Captain.." She steps back, allowing the skull to enter.
[22:43] <+Elana> "Sloth is the mother of neglect"6, she comments at Mira's suggestion, probably reciting part of some religious scribble out of the big book she seems to have memorized.
[22:44] * +Elana ... before returning to her meal, not even looking up.
[22:44] * +Mira_Atella thinks that in an odd way, her request for a servitor was answered as well.
[22:45] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers flies to the vox-caster and plugs himself in. Jex's voice booms out "Mockingbird, report to Briefing room 8. Captain Rothers will take you take."
[22:46] * +Elana rises from the table, apparently intent on following the order immediately.
[22:46] * +Mira_Atella gathers her few things and puts on her jacket, taking a piece of bread with her.
[22:47] * +Lazerus_Grim grabs his gear and follows the Sister out the door
[22:47] * +Grendel` gets to his feet, and straightens his robes, waiting until everyone is ready, before instructing Captain Rother to lead the way in binary.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Captain Rothers takes you to Briefing Room 8, where Inquisitor Jex is waiting for you.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Jex "Sit down, Mockingbird."
[22:51] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod and takes a seat.
[22:52] * +Grendel` finds a chair built with a tech-priest in mind and sits down.
[22:52] * +Lazerus_Grim sits
[22:52] * +Elana follows suit.
[22:56] <@BradGM> Jex "Well, I have jsut returned from the Conclave reunion, and from what I have heard you must be congradulated...FOR YOUR FAILURE!" *He points accusingly at you and rises up form his seat, enraged.
[22:57] * +Grendel` stiffens along with his mechadendrites, wondering what the Inquisitor is talking about.
[22:57] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow, not exactly looking surprised.
[22:58] <@BradGM> Jex "You have not properly given Inquisitor Skane's her due! You have rendered me a fool in front of my own Peers!"
[22:59] <@BradGM> Jex "What do you have to say for yourselves?"
[22:59] * +Elana cannot suppress a blinking motion, reflexively holding her breath for a moment before she speaks up: 1"But, Inquisitor ... I do not understand - we have done as we were told!"
[23:00] * +Grendel` glances over to the Sister and the Psyker.
[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( Alaric did that one with her, not Grim.. unless the page is wrong heh ))
[23:01] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((all three of us did))
[23:01] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, you got left off on the page, lucky you! ))
[23:02] <@BradGM> Jex "LIES! I have heard if from Vaabak and Skane themselves...Or are you calling faithful Inquisitors LIARS?"
[23:03] * +Elana clenches her teeth.
[23:03] <@BradGM> Jex "Well? Answer!"
[23:05] <+Elana> "Of course not"6, she finally responds calmly. A lesson driven home years ago in the convent.
[23:05] * +Grendel` looks curiously at the rest of the group, having been told these missions were done.
[23:07] * +Mira_Atella has nothing that she could add, so she remains silent.
[23:08] <@BradGM> Jex "Dissappointment. And Rage, that is what burn within! A few simple courrier tasks and you cannot accomplish it? You should be ashamed Mockingbird! You are in the Inquisition! Not whatever insignificant group you once belonged to. Failure is NEVER an option."
[23:08] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Would you kindly explain exactly how we failed to complete our missions?"
[23:09] * +Lazerus_Grim tries to say in as calm a tone as possible, not liking to be called a failure.
[23:09] <@BradGM> Jex "As said, you have failed to give the FULL TRIBUTE to Inquisitor Skane."
[23:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> "What part did we fail to give?"
[23:10] <@BradGM> Jex "Grain for the body, pain for the soul; Grain was given but no pain was felt nor given!"
[23:10] * +Elana clenches her fists as she feels taunted, yet managing to maintain composure.
[23:11] <+Elana> "Perhaps if you could explain clearly - we are not used to such ancient ... rituals."
[23:12] <@BradGM> Jex "What is so complicated for your mind to understand? Take something from someone, and bring it to another."
[23:12] <@BradGM> Jex "Clearly, I have been negligent; you are far from being ready from what must be undertaken."
[23:12] * X sets mode: +o SuperFly
[23:14] <@BradGM> Jex "Yet I have invested much in you; and I am not one to waste manpower. So I shall give you another chance to proove your worth."
[23:14] * +Mira_Atella retrieves her data slate, going over the information given to them about each step they were to take, not seeing anything about grain or pain mentioned anywhere.
[23:14] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((that must have been said specifically to Elana from Vaabak))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, well she's just checking then to make sure it wasn't a clear error heh ))
[23:15] <+Elana> "With respect, Inquisitor"6, she pauses for a mere heartbeat, 1"we are no missive-servitors, we are instruments of His Divine Will. Give us a task more apt to our nature, and we shall not disappoint."
[23:15] * +Mira_Atella slips the slate back in place.
[23:17] <@BradGM> Jex "SILENCE! A true servant welcomes his lot, whatever it may be!"
[23:17] * +Lazerus_Grim stands
[23:18] * +Elana wilfully narrows her eyes, yet does not speak up anymore.
[23:18] * +Grendel` frowns behind the respirator, listening to the tirade.
[23:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I would like the opportunity to complete our mission. My fellow acolytes may join me if they wish."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex "It is too late for that Lazerus. What is done is done and cannot be undone."
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex gets out a dataslate and puts it on the table.
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex "One more chance. Do not fail me again."
[23:19] * +Lazerus_Grim picks it up and looks it over
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((too far out lazarus))
[23:19] <@BradGM> Jex exits the room**
[23:20] <+Grendel`> "What was forgotten? What was this Pain?"
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((now you can get it))
[23:20] * +Lazerus_Grim walks up to the table and picks it up, looking it over
[23:20] <@BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
