[20:12] <@BradGM> +++ After some wait, Philmoore and Gant, 2 of Inquisitor Vaadak’s acolytes, arrived with what information Inquisitor Jex send before he stopped reporting in. It appears that a group of Enoulians being on Sisk and being ordered by a fat, moustached and bearded man of unknown origins, if only that he and his men were dressed as locals.
[20:12] <@BradGM> . As Mockingbird went to gather equipment at Bradon’s, Lazerus went to meet Victrix, a person Gant referred to assist in getting transport to Sisk.

[20:16] * +Elana trails behind Grendel and Mira, having been served last and with some delay - not solely because she showed up third. The whining servos of her armour respond reliably to her limbs, moving in unison with the body inside the armoured shell as the Sister carries a heavy sealed cask with an Imperial Aquila on its cover.
[20:16] * +Grendel listens carefully to the whining of the servos, making sure they're in sync with the machine spirit of the armor.

[20:44] <@BradGM> ((Hmm..then Bradon gladly point out that whole "left a pistol silencer and magazine behind on some backwater wrodl full of yokels" thing again))
[20:45] <@BradGM> 4 hours later, you arrive at Dock 3 with your gear, ready to board! Victrix is there talking with a pilot from a shuttle hauler.
[20:46] * +Grendel checks over his gear one last time before approaching Victrix and the pilot.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Victrix "There you are. You're going to get tansported in an old Jerico Transport, this shuttle's gonna take you aboard; just remember you're just passengers there, stick to the passenger's areas."
[20:49] * +Lazerus_Grim nods to Victrix and shoulders his pack, giving a sharp whistle to Demon before boarding the shuttle.
[20:49] * +Mira_Atella adjusts the straps on her bag and boards the shuttle.
[20:49] * +Grendel frowns behind the respirator, but acquieses for now.
[20:50] * +Elana is attempting to haul a huge metal crate through the shuttle door, fortunately assisted by the strength-enhancing capabilities of her power armour, though it remains a tricky task to correctly balance and move the container.
[20:51] * +Grendel attempts to help the Sister, to make sure she doesn't damage any of the machinery.
[20:52] <@BradGM> Victrix "you know..a dolley would ahve worked jsut as better."
[20:55] * +Elana 's belongings seem pretty safe, the container looking somewhat armoured itself - yet the assistance is appreciated, resulting in a quick comradely nod before the Sister Militant turns to the pilot(?): 1"Apologies - a what?"
[20:56] <@BradGM> Victrix "A Dolley" She point to an object in the dock, near the wall

[20:57] <@BradGM> ((oh, then I wrote it with a French accent))
[20:57] * +Elana furrows her brows, not having much experience with such items thanks to her monastic upbringing. 1"I suppose so."
[20:57] <+Mira_Atella> (( Psh, a trolley is a street car ))
[20:59] <@BradGM> ((it's a big chest))
[21:00] <@BradGM> you board the shuttle and depart toward your transport; it doensT't ake long that you're escorted to a small barracks-like room conencted to a small salon and dining area.
[21:00] <+Elana> (( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley :P ))
[21:00] * +Lazerus_Grim asks of their escort, 1"How long is this trip expected to take?"
[21:01] <+Elana> (( what does this transport look like, exactly? I assume we only see the interiors, but I guess we can get an impression by their size and condition ))
[21:01] <@BradGM> Petty officer "Month long trip to the Periphery. 4 jumps total, shouldn't be too much toruble until the last couple of jumps."
[21:02] <+Grendel> "Oh?"
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((Jerico class transport))
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((sorry wrong anme))
[21:02] * +Mira_Atella mutters quietly, "Should have brought a snack.."
[21:04] <+Grendel> ((The pilgrim vessel I assume?))
[21:04] <+Elana> ((if I recall correctly, yeah :D))
[21:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah it got both anmes))
[21:05] * +Elana continues her walk, giving the NCO a questioning look: 1"A dangerous territory? Or does the Empyrean flow strangely in this region?"
[21:05] <@BradGM> Petty officer "Food's 3 tiems a day at 0600, 1200, and 1800; youR'e a minute alte you don't eat. if there's any trouble stay in your cabin, and don't go below the 6th deck nor over the 3rd one.."
[21:06] * +Lazerus_Grim nods in understanding and heads for his quarters.
[21:06] <@BradGM> Petty officer "All of the above sister; if it ain't pirates, smugglers or xeno, it's those cursed warp storms causing troulbe for us."
[21:09] <+Elana> "This time we shall have the Emperor's guidance, officer. I shall pray for a safe and uneventful journey."
[21:10] <@BradGM> You are taken to your quarters and the P.O. leave you to wander aorund the passenger's deck.

[21:11] <+Mira_Atella> (( oh great, what did she do to us now lol ))
[21:12] * +Grendel seems annoyed as he's treated like a...passenger.
[21:12] <@BradGM> You travel outside the Scintilla system and into the warp! The voyage is uneventful, at least as far as warp voyages goes.

[21:16] <+Servitor> Grendel: 64 Success by 3 degrees!
[21:17] <@BradGM> You're informed after a 4th week into the warp that youve entered the Sisk system.
[21:18] <+Elana> ((score 1 for the Emperor))
[21:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((that's annoying))
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((what is?))
[21:20] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((lack of action! but mostly that the Emperor blessed us))
[21:20] <+Grendel> ((heh))
[21:21] * +Elana tries not to show it, but cannot suppress a certain sense of relief as the vessel pierces the Veil again, re-emerging into realspace and leaving the accursed Warp behind. As the vibrations travel through the decks, she quickly makes the sign of the Holy Aquila and mutters a thanks to Him on Terra.
[21:21] <@BradGM> The P.O. returns "WE're closing on Sisk. The shuttles are going down in 2 hours. Get ready."
[21:22] * +Grendel starts gathering up his gear, making sure he has everything, deciding to wear the armor and go armed for now. "What are our plans now that we are here? Find the contact?"
[21:22] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod, checking her harness, even though she never opened it during the trip.
[21:23] * +Lazerus_Grim packs up his gear and waits for the rest of the cell in the common room.
[21:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh I thought we were all in one room to begin with ))
[21:25] <+Elana> 6Having already completed her ritualistic self-flagellation - a habit the Sister Militant must have picked up some time after the cell's last mission - Elana begins the arduous process of donning her armour. 1"Yes, that would seem to be the most productive approach for now."
[21:26] * +Grendel glances over occasionally to make sure Elana is following the proper rituals for the armor.
[21:26] <+Elana> (( I thought so, too, but there can still be a common room for eating and stuff ))
[21:26] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[21:26] * +Mira_Atella places the harness on her back, fasting the clasps and pulling the straps tight before taking a seat again to wait.
[21:29] <@BradGM> You get taken to another small cargo hauler shuttle and taken down to the only spaceport on the planet, sitting in the middle of the ocean.
[21:30] * +Elana has grown fairly adept at dealing with her belongings, the proper rituals drilled into her mind by countless hours of training as well as daily routine. Still, as with all Imperial organizations, the teachings of the Orders Militant may deviate in details from what the Mechanicus Priest could be used to.

[21:34] * Drakkar (~PixelScum@ip68-110-115-132.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:34] * +Grendel adjusts his robe, pulling the mechadendrites in as he looks around, examining the spaceport.
[21:35] <@BradGM> The spaceport is a giant tower floating on the ocean. the platforms are on the top, with a port with seavessels are taking goods from and to to coast.
[21:35] * Drakkar (~PixelScum@ip68-110-115-132.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:37] <+Mira_Atella> "Do we have a specific boat we need to take, or will any of them do?"
[21:37] * +Elana is now carrying her jump pack on the back for ease of transport, though the device's stylized wings have proven somewhat obstructive whilst exiting the shuttlecraft, which was obviously not meant to deliver military drop troops. Upon spying the Ecclesiarchy building on the other side of the mass of water, the Sister Militant reflexively crosses her arms over the armoured chest to form the Aquila sign.
[21:39] * +Lazerus_Grim looks around, adjusting himself to the sights and smells. 1"I think at this point we just need to get to the mainland."
[21:40] <@BradGM> !roll 1d100
[21:40] <+Servitor> BradGM: 51
[21:41] * +Grendel looks down at the platform he's standing on. "What a precious gift from the Omnissiah."
[21:41] <@BradGM> You managed to find your way to the port area of the spaceport. Many different cargo, mostly the local sail ships, are busy loading off-world goods for locally mined minerals and goods.

[21:47] <@BradGM> There is many, many boats Mira, that you could always negociate passage with any of the ships there.
[21:48] <+Mira_Atella> "I don't see anything that looks particularly for passengers only, but we should be able to buy a ride on any given one."
[21:51] * +Elana furrows her brows. 1"This is a spaceport. There has to be personal transportation available somewhere." 6Pausing a moment, she adds: 1"But yes, I suppose any of these would do. Their owners should consider themselves fortunate to provide for His servants, especially as we will not require any of their precious cargo space."
[21:53] * +Mira_Atella starts walking towards the ships, looking for any that have standing room on the deck.
[21:53] * +Grendel frowns and starts looking around with his eyes and the mechadendrite, searching for people buying tickets, or someone selling passage.

[22:38] <+Elana> ((lol))
[22:39] <@BradGM> You spend an hour asking around but no one's intrested in haivng a woman on board; bad luck and all.
[22:39] <+Grendel> "Perhaps the Sister..."
[22:40] <+Elana> ((do I notice just why Mira gets rebuffed?))
[22:41] <@BradGM> ((If you can ehar the conversation, sos tanding behind her..or her informing you with the microbead.))
[22:41] <+Elana> ((mhmm, I'd stand a few meters back, so if they don't speak loud enough ..))
[22:42] <@BradGM> ((well, if you're wiht her then, then you'll get the boat))
[22:43] * +Elana steps up as she notices Mira's negotiations not going so well this time. 1"What seems to be the problem?"
[22:43] * +Mira_Atella slides her hand down one leg, reaching for one of her new knives as she stares at the last man, stopping when she hears Elana.
[22:44] <+Mira_Atella> "The boat owners don't have an afinity for women on their crafts."
[22:45] * +Elana eyes the man appearing to be in charge. 1"Is that so? Tell me, are you not one of the faith?"
[22:46] <@BradGM> With little talk you can book passage on a boat
[22:48] * +Elana would hold a speech about the great Imperial Saints, how both men and women bled and were blessed by Him on Earth, building a bridge from the likes of Saint Ollanius and Saint Chirosius over to Saint Celestine and Saint Katherine - and from her to Mira, securing passage.
[22:49] * +Mira_Atella stares rather blankly at the Sister as she rattles off the holy mumbo-jumbo, snapping out of her daze when they are granted passage.
[22:50] * +Lazerus_Grim simple laughs at the sister
[22:51] * +Elana gives Lazerus a questioning look.
[22:51] * +Mira_Atella leans as close to Elana as she can with the sister's armor in the way, "Nice job. I was just going to kill him and steal the boat."
[22:53] * +Elana wrinkles her nose, keeping her voice low as well. 1"Conserve your anger for the true enemies of the Emperor. The locals may have strange traditions, but we are united in worship and loyalty."
[22:53] <@BradGM> You board and depart into rough seas. Roll toughness.

[22:57] <@BradGM> Demon is not liking the trip as well
[22:57] * +Grendel finds a private spot to be sick.

[22:59] <+Mira_Atella> (( woo Archer is on ))
[23:00] <@BradGM> You dock at Arnhut's port.
[23:01] * +Grendel gathers with the group, looking a little worse for wear.
[23:01] * +Mira_Atella leaves the craft, giving the captain a final look of contempt that suggests he's lucky to be alive.
[23:03] * +Elana follows suit, the servos of her armour whirring in a low sound.
[23:03] * +Lazerus_Grim carries Demon off the boat and sets him down on dry land. The dog immediately rolls around on ground.

[20:44] <@BradGM> ((Hmm..then Bradon gladly point out that whole "left a pistol silencer and magazine behind on some backwater wrodl full of yokels" thing again))
[20:45] <@BradGM> 4 hours later, you arrive at Dock 3 with your gear, ready to board! Victrix is there talking with a pilot from a shuttle hauler.
[20:46] * +Grendel checks over his gear one last time before approaching Victrix and the pilot.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Victrix "There you are. You're going to get tansported in an old Jerico Transport, this shuttle's gonna take you aboard; just remember you're just passengers there, stick to the passenger's areas."
[20:49] * +Lazerus_Grim nods to Victrix and shoulders his pack, giving a sharp whistle to Demon before boarding the shuttle.
[20:49] * +Mira_Atella adjusts the straps on her bag and boards the shuttle.
[20:49] * +Grendel frowns behind the respirator, but acquieses for now.
[20:50] * +Elana is attempting to haul a huge metal crate through the shuttle door, fortunately assisted by the strength-enhancing capabilities of her power armour, though it remains a tricky task to correctly balance and move the container.
[20:51] * +Grendel attempts to help the Sister, to make sure she doesn't damage any of the machinery.
[20:52] <@BradGM> Victrix "you know..a dolley would ahve worked jsut as better."
[20:55] * +Elana 's belongings seem pretty safe, the container looking somewhat armoured itself - yet the assistance is appreciated, resulting in a quick comradely nod before the Sister Militant turns to the pilot(?): 1"Apologies - a what?"
[20:56] <@BradGM> Victrix "A Dolley" She point to an object in the dock, near the wall

[20:57] * +Elana furrows her brows, not having much experience with such items thanks to her monastic upbringing. 1"I suppose so."
[20:57] <+Mira_Atella> (( Psh, a trolley is a street car ))
[20:59] <@BradGM> ((it's a big chest))
[21:00] <@BradGM> you board the shuttle and depart toward your transport; it doensT't ake long that you're escorted to a small barracks-like room conencted to a small salon and dining area.
[21:00] <+Elana> (( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley :P ))
[21:00] * +Lazerus_Grim asks of their escort, 1"How long is this trip expected to take?"
[21:01] <+Elana> (( what does this transport look like, exactly? I assume we only see the interiors, but I guess we can get an impression by their size and condition ))
[21:01] <@BradGM> Petty officer "Month long trip to the Periphery. 4 jumps total, shouldn't be too much toruble until the last couple of jumps."

[21:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah it got both anmes))
[21:05] * +Elana continues her walk, giving the NCO a questioning look: 1"A dangerous territory? Or does the Empyrean flow strangely in this region?"
[21:05] <@BradGM> Petty officer "Food's 3 tiems a day at 0600, 1200, and 1800; youR'e a minute alte you don't eat. if there's any trouble stay in your cabin, and don't go below the 6th deck nor over the 3rd one.."
[21:06] * +Lazerus_Grim nods in understanding and heads for his quarters.
[21:06] <@BradGM> Petty officer "All of the above sister; if it ain't pirates, smugglers or xeno, it's those cursed warp storms causing troulbe for us."
[21:09] <+Elana> "This time we shall have the Emperor's guidance, officer. I shall pray for a safe and uneventful journey."
[21:10] <@BradGM> You are taken to your quarters and the P.O. leave you to wander aorund the passenger's deck.

[21:12] * +Grendel seems annoyed as he's treated like a...passenger.
[21:12] <@BradGM> You travel outside the Scintilla system and into the warp! The voyage is uneventful, at least as far as warp voyages goes.

[21:18] <+Elana> ((score 1 for the Emperor))
[21:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((that's annoying))
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((what is?))
[21:20] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((lack of action! but mostly that the Emperor blessed us))
[21:20] <+Grendel> ((heh))
[21:21] * +Elana tries not to show it, but cannot suppress a certain sense of relief as the vessel pierces the Veil again, re-emerging into realspace and leaving the accursed Warp behind. As the vibrations travel through the decks, she quickly makes the sign of the Holy Aquila and mutters a thanks to Him on Terra.
[21:21] <@BradGM> The P.O. returns "WE're closing on Sisk. The shuttles are going down in 2 hours. Get ready."
[21:22] * +Grendel starts gathering up his gear, making sure he has everything, deciding to wear the armor and go armed for now. "What are our plans now that we are here? Find the contact?"
[21:22] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod, checking her harness, even though she never opened it during the trip.
[21:23] * +Lazerus_Grim packs up his gear and waits for the rest of the cell in the common room.
[21:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh I thought we were all in one room to begin with ))
[21:25] <+Elana> 6Having already completed her ritualistic self-flagellation - a habit the Sister Militant must have picked up some time after the cell's last mission - Elana begins the arduous process of donning her armour. 1"Yes, that would seem to be the most productive approach for now."
[21:26] * +Grendel glances over occasionally to make sure Elana is following the proper rituals for the armor.
[21:26] <+Elana> (( I thought so, too, but there can still be a common room for eating and stuff ))
[21:26] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[21:26] * +Mira_Atella places the harness on her back, fasting the clasps and pulling the straps tight before taking a seat again to wait.
[21:29] <@BradGM> You get taken to another small cargo hauler shuttle and taken down to the only spaceport on the planet, sitting in the middle of the ocean.
[21:30] * +Elana has grown fairly adept at dealing with her belongings, the proper rituals drilled into her mind by countless hours of training as well as daily routine. Still, as with all Imperial organizations, the teachings of the Orders Militant may deviate in details from what the Mechanicus Priest could be used to.

[21:34] * Drakkar (~PixelScum@ip68-110-115-132.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:34] * +Grendel adjusts his robe, pulling the mechadendrites in as he looks around, examining the spaceport.
[21:35] <@BradGM> The spaceport is a giant tower floating on the ocean. the platforms are on the top, with a port with seavessels are taking goods from and to to coast.

[21:37] <+Mira_Atella> "Do we have a specific boat we need to take, or will any of them do?"
[21:37] * +Elana is now carrying her jump pack on the back for ease of transport, though the device's stylized wings have proven somewhat obstructive whilst exiting the shuttlecraft, which was obviously not meant to deliver military drop troops. Upon spying the Ecclesiarchy building on the other side of the mass of water, the Sister Militant reflexively crosses her arms over the armoured chest to form the Aquila sign.
[21:39] * +Lazerus_Grim looks around, adjusting himself to the sights and smells. 1"I think at this point we just need to get to the mainland."

[21:41] <@BradGM> You managed to find your way to the port area of the spaceport. Many different cargo, mostly the local sail ships, are busy loading off-world goods for locally mined minerals and goods.

[21:47] <@BradGM> There is many, many boats Mira, that you could always negociate passage with any of the ships there.
[21:48] <+Mira_Atella> "I don't see anything that looks particularly for passengers only, but we should be able to buy a ride on any given one."
[21:51] * +Elana furrows her brows. 1"This is a spaceport. There has to be personal transportation available somewhere." 6Pausing a moment, she adds: 1"But yes, I suppose any of these would do. Their owners should consider themselves fortunate to provide for His servants, especially as we will not require any of their precious cargo space."
[21:53] * +Mira_Atella starts walking towards the ships, looking for any that have standing room on the deck.

[22:20] <@BradGM> Darius is conducting business in Arnhut from his main Warehouse/office. You also learn that he highten security about 6, 7 months ago.
[22:21] * +Mira_Atella relays the information to the others, making sure to include the fact that they now don't have a ride and could have learned this information on the mainland.
[22:22] <+Elana> "An interesting coincidence, wouldn't you agree?"
[22:24] <@BradGM> Indeed that would equate to the time Inquisitor Jex stopped reporting in.
[22:24] <+Mira_Atella> "I doubt there's much about the goings on here that are."
[22:25] <+Grendel> "Conducting investigations thoroughly and methodically is never a waste of time."
[22:26] <+Elana> "Mechanicus precision"6, the Sister remarks, somewhat mockingly.
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((Wait- so Elana is wearing her power armour and her jetpack?))
[22:26] <+Elana> ((yup?))
[22:27] <+Mira_Atella> "No, but thinking our important contact would be on a transport ship was. Excuse me, I need to try and find another boat." She turns and walks away from the group, looking again for a way to get to the mainland.
[22:27] <+Grendel> "I did not say he might be on the transport. I said it was possible he was here."
[22:28] <@BradGM> ((Oh..well in that case, you can just get passage then))
[22:29] <@BradGM> ((Thought..you attract 10000% attention))
[22:30] * +Lazerus_Grim shakes his head after Mira. 1"She was doing so well with her social skills...."
[22:30] * +Elana raises a brow at the comment. 1"I suppose we should follow. See her skills get us passage."
[22:30] <@BradGM> ((well, you are already attracting attentiona ctually.))
[22:32] <+Elana> ((heh :P))

[22:43] * +Mira_Atella slides her hand down one leg, reaching for one of her new knives as she stares at the last man, stopping when she hears Elana.
[22:44] <+Mira_Atella> "The boat owners don't have an afinity for women on their crafts."
[22:45] * +Elana eyes the man appearing to be in charge. 1"Is that so? Tell me, are you not one of the faith?"
[22:46] <@BradGM> With little talk you can book passage on a boat
[22:48] * +Elana would hold a speech about the great Imperial Saints, how both men and women bled and were blessed by Him on Earth, building a bridge from the likes of Saint Ollanius and Saint Chirosius over to Saint Celestine and Saint Katherine - and from her to Mira, securing passage.
[22:49] * +Mira_Atella stares rather blankly at the Sister as she rattles off the holy mumbo-jumbo, snapping out of her daze when they are granted passage.
[22:50] * +Lazerus_Grim simple laughs at the sister
[22:51] * +Elana gives Lazerus a questioning look.
[22:51] * +Mira_Atella leans as close to Elana as she can with the sister's armor in the way, "Nice job. I was just going to kill him and steal the boat."
[22:53] * +Elana wrinkles her nose, keeping her voice low as well. 1"Conserve your anger for the true enemies of the Emperor. The locals may have strange traditions, but we are united in worship and loyalty."

[23:03] * +Lazerus_Grim carries Demon off the boat and sets him down on dry land. The dog immediately rolls around on ground.
