(Damn. Anyone even here?)

Reporting for duty.

Hey! I recognize that hand!

>>8924031
(/whew)
>>8924047
(Who's Demetri? Is he related to Zakhaev?)

>What do you want to question Shih-na on first? Pick one topic.

>>8924073
>Who's Demetri?
>Who's Demetri?
>Who's Demetri?
>Who's Demetri?
>I do not know about Demetri

>Questions? Ha. Ask away.
>But know that the Master of Change is already upon us. He has already won this little..game.
>Ask away.

*show her the list*

What can you tell me about this list?

>>8924165
>There are two lists: Kay's List and Lang's List. Which do you want to show?

>>8924184
*I'll show her Lang's list first*

>Shih-na looks at the list.

What's that?

Demetri smells massive amounts of faggotry in this thread.

>>8924288
Demetri used the wrong image macro.
Disregard that.

>>8924263
You don't recognize it at all? Presumably it is a list of targets for corruption or elimination. Part of your daemon summoning ritual.

>>8923998
I'm here, likely not for very long though.

FUCK YEAH DEMETRI.
I still have Fallow saved. And, in all honesty, i was the one who suggested it be called Fallow because the GM kept mis spelling 'follow' wrong.

FUCK YEAH

>>8924376
You're assuming that she genuinely doesn't recognise it. Anything the thing before us says could be, and probably is, a lie.

(Heads up: You're going to have to prove every single freaking one of your theories to Shih-na.)

>>8924376
No, I've never seen that before in my life.

>>8924422
FUCK YEAH
I KNEW AT LEAST ONE OF YOU GUYS WOULD BE ON /tg/

You wake up in a dark room, only light you can see is from a flickering computer screen. There is a hook across from you and a wall splattered with blood. A faint sound of voices emanate from the wall.

Inventory: Lighter, Pen
Health: 87%
Paranoia: 16%

>>8924491
Oh fuck yes.

I examine the hook.

I also dig up my Fallow folder for cheatcodes...

>>8924436
(crap... I don't know where to get started... was the handwriting from the kill order Badd had ever analyzed? it was written on the back of the second list, wasn't it?)

>>8924532
It is a metal hook, jutting from the wall. Just the look of it bugs you. It seems to be bolted to the wall.

>>8924572
Stab the nearest wall with the pen, light the hole on fire, escape with a few burns and lung damage.

>>8924491
>>8924532
>>8924572
You guys probably should go get your own thread.

>>8924593
Nostalgia'ing here. Fuck off.

>>8924596
Feel free to do so...in your own thread, rather than trying to hijack this one.

>>8924546
(Yes, it was analyzed but nobody on-ship matched. And yeah, it was on the back of the list. I'll give you a hint: If that's a list of tainted people, and Shih-na is tainted...)
(Also, I love 4-chan cleaner.)

>>8924622
Let this be a lesson to you: Don't use Demetri in your OP pic.

>>8924634
(OP here. The more I know! Heh.)

Skip to the end, for the sake of this thread.
I never did catch a Fallow Part 2.

Remember we killed that blind guy by injecting him with an empty syringe?

>>8924709
Not really, I think I missed that part. D:

I hung around for a while but I lost interest after a few weeks because they took so damn long. Storyline was confusing as fuck but fun.

The GM has a Twitter and it looks like he still hosts games.

Wait, Snoop, we still doing this?

>>8924754

You dont happen to have a link to said twitter, do you?

(That sounded like an awesome quest. Where's the archive?)
(Anyway. Mithras, Lidia, actions?)

>>8924767
Hardly anyone seems to be here and some chucklefuck is hijacking the thread.

I vote we abandon this for now and try again tommorow, maybe an hour or two earlier.

Checking in but I'm functioning without caffeine so I don't know how much help I'll be.
Clarifications required:
What does "tainted" mean?
Shih-na was working for Lang? For how long? Lang recruited her why?
How hard is it to corrupt a null?

>>8924771
Yeah, I just dug it up a few minutes ago.
His first one actually got banned for reasons no one seems to understand so he made a new one.
http://twitter.com/ThatInfamousGm
That's it, unless I've gone completely insane.

>>8924767
>>8924791
(We're still doin' it. But I meant to ask yesterday, is earlier or later better for you?)

>>8924787
(am I supposed to assume she is on the list somewhere? I can't think of any way to prove that she has seen the list before.)

>>8924817
Niceone, cheers.

(Sorry, dozed off.)

>>8924826
Earlier is better for me. I have to hit the hay between 4.30am and 5am UK time most nights so when this usually starts I've only got enough time to hand around for an hour and a half, maybe two, and as such I'm not much use because I've missed big chunks. Reading the archive threads helps a bit but it feels kinda muddled without being able to watch everything playing out.

>>8924849
(Yes, she'd be on there. The only person not on there would be the leader of the cult.)
>>8924811
>What does "tainted" mean?
(In this case, belonging to the cult.)
>Shih-na was working for Lang? For how long? Lang recruited her why?
(Ask her.)

>>8924875
('Sup.)

>>8924436
But you're on the list... right here... You're telling me you've been part of this cult and you haven't seen this list one time?

Very well. For the record then. Your name? Your most recent employer? Duration of said employment?

>>8924889
(Tired. 21 4-chan time works pretty well for me, not too early not too late.)

>>8924943
>!
I might be on that list, but what proof is that?
>Where did you get that, anyway?
Someone could have easily tampered with it.

>>8924958
>>8924881
(Back to 21 4-chan time then for the next session, then.)

>>8924955
>Your name?
Shih-na.

>Your most recent employer?
Inquisitor Shi-long Lang.

>Duration of said employment?
Around 10-13 years.

>>8924981
Well, the first one was taken from Inquisitor Lang's records six months ago.

*show her the second list*

And this one was given to us by Kay Faraday. They are virtually the same.

What did I miss?

>>8925027
Thank you.
Umm. Ten to thirteen years? Why the uncertainty?
Also, how old are you?

>>8925044
Me having a brain fart for the past hour.

>>8925027
What tasks, exactly, did your employer set for you? What was your role working for the Inquisitor?

>>8925044
INTRIGUE!

>>8925051

Ever considered she might have been subjected to rejuvenat?

That or she could be a Callidus, age is tricky in the 41st millennium.

>>8925041
>Well, the first one was taken from Inquisitor Lang's records six months ago.
>!

>And this one was given to us by Kay Faraday. They are virtually the same.
>...!

>So...the infiltrator...Urk!

>>8925081
So get the bio-auspex out, scan for polymorphine.

>>8925069
It was...uh...twelve years.

>Also, how old are you?
Ehehe. You're not supposed to ask a lady her age.

>>8925130
You hesitate. Why aren't you sure?

>>8925130
No, what did you DO for him? Not how long he had you in his service.

>You recall that the Ultrasmurfs already did scans and stuff like that. She's apparently human, there are no traces of drugs or whatever in her system.

>>8925102
>What was your role working for the Inquisitor?
I was Inquisitor Lang's personal Adept.
>I kept records for him.

>>8925130
Right, right. So, how old are you?

You look uncomfortable? Did the Acolyte say something unexpected?

>>8925173

Did you perform any more "intimate" services?

>>8925173
Hrm. What sort of records? His personal accounts and other such harmless information, or files of data he collected during his career?

>>8925093
>So...the infiltrator...Urk!

Yes, Giggles, that's right. It was Kay Faraday AKA Calisto Yew. I have her hand that you chopped off when you went after the Callidus who took Lang's place.

Why didn't Lang turn you over to the Culexus Temple?

>>8925210
Waitwaitwaitwait...
Why are WE giving HER information?

>>8925187
>Did the Acolyte say something unexpected?
Nothing like that. I just thought that anyone competent would check Lang's records more thoroughly. It was twelve years.

>>8925196
>Did you perform any more "intimate" services?
>"intimate" services?
>services

Ah, but that would be telling. Ehehe. Heh.

>What sort of records? His personal accounts and other such harmless information, or files of data he collected during his career?

Both.

...And I'd like to remind you all that you have no proof I was doing anything heretical. You have, what, a list that COULD have come from Lang's records? I personally oversaw his recordkeeping I don't think I remember anything like that in there.

Oh, and a list that someone handed to you. Right.

>>8925254
To provoke her and get her to talk. If the information is true we can gauge her reaction. She's still playing stupid and thinks we don't know anything.

>>8925277

Yes, it would be "telling", which is what we want you to do.

Refresh my memory guys, why are we not using truth serum or some variation of thereof?

>>8925093
>The infiltrator
So you admit that you are apart of this organization?

>>8925277
You may not have been doing anything Heretical on purpose. But if you handled tainted Data gathered by your Inquisitor, there is the possibility you in turn absorbed some of that taint and it's affected your actions. Actions that you convince yourself to be non-Heretical, even though they are to any right-thinking Imperial servent.

>>8925377
Good point.

>>8925350
I didn't get *entirely* drunk last night. Made some calls, promised some people favours that they'll most likely never get. Got three vials of the stuff right here, if you need 'em.

>>8925277
>...And I'd like to remind you all that you have no proof I was doing anything heretical. You have, what, a list that COULD have come from Lang's records? I personally oversaw his recordkeeping I don't think I remember anything like that in there.

We also have Faraday's testimony that you attempted to kill who you thought was Inquisitor Lang.

>>8925474
HUSH!

>>8925404

We only need to prep her and then inject her with the goods, should start singing like a bird.

>>8925578
Sure, here you go. Basic hypodermic syringe, just inject it into her bloodstream and it'll start doing it's job. Simple. However, I can't tell you how effective it is. It might only get you a few straight answers before wearing off, or one syringe'll have her spitting information like a malfunctioning datastack. I'd plan out carefully what you want to ask before administering the stuff.

>>8925626
I want to see this...

>>8925626

I really have not been following the case as closely as I'd like to, so I'll leave that to the experts, good to know we are have a chemical backup though.

On which note, I'll leave the questioning in your own capable hands. Good luck!

(G'night all!)

Ask her where Lang is?

(DON'T GIVE AWAY ANYTHING ABOUT LANG'S STATE, DEAD, ALIVE, OTHER.)

>>8925692
('night, techpriestess. Thanks for the drugs!)

>>8925626
(Nighty night)

(And then suddenly, you increase the difficulty level by giving away all the secret info!
Also, fucking internet died on me.
The copius greentext is her thoughts. Consider it hints.)
>>8925210
>Yes, Giggles, that's right. It was Kay Faraday AKA Calisto Yew. I have her hand that you chopped off when you went after the Callidus who took Lang's place.
>Giggles
>Calisto called her Giggles
>Kay Faraday AKA Calisto Yew
>I have her hand that you chopped off
>she must still be alive
>Callidus who took Lang's place
>Lang's still alive
...Aha! Ahahahahahahahahaha! Ehe. Hooo. Thank you for the information, redshirt. Hehe. You know how see-through over there was talking about services?
Ehehe.

>You may not have been doing anything Heretical on purpose. But if you handled tainted data gathered by your Inquisitor, there is the possibility you in turn absorbed some of that taint and it's affected your actions. Actions that you convince yourself to be non-Heretical, even though they are to any right-thinking Imperial servent.
By that extension, everyone here could be a heretic and not know it.

>We also have Faraday's testimony that you attempted to kill who you thought was Inquisitor Lang.
>Faraday
>Kay Faraday, Lang's infiltration specialist
>But if you handled tainted data gathered by your Inquisitor
>Inquisitor
>Tainted

So you'd believe the testimony of a heretical Inquisitor's servant?

>>8925692
(Goodnight.)

>>8925747
Throne dammit, Mithras.

>>8925692
(Sleep tight, don't let the Rippers bite.)

>>8925747
....fuck. Oh well, time for drugs.

>>8925764
Relax, she's not getting out of here.

>>8925747
That's odd. I didn't think a soulless null could laugh like that.

But anyway, that's really odd. Why wouldn't Inquisitor Lang tell you about Kay/Calisto? He must have suspected something.

>>8925907
You gave out our most important info like it was candy and got no returns.

>>8925864
(Hurr. No, there's no need for drugs.There's something she doesn't know. Something that she's never seen...)

>>8925907
*AHEM

Lang didn't tell me anything.
You did, just then, though.

>>8925968
Yes, exactly. It proves that he hid Calisto's identity from you, and you have admitted that you did not know that Kay was Calisto. Your own Inquisitor was suspicious enough of you to keep her identity secret from you. Why, I wonder?

>>8926027
He trusted you with his personal files, but he omitted this little piece of information? That makes you look bad.

>>8926027
>our own Inquisitor was suspicious enough of you to keep her identity secret from you.
>Questioning Inquisition motives

*sigh
Your point?

>>8926048
>He trusted you with his personal files, but he omitted this little piece of information? That makes you look bad.
>makes you look bad

*snrk
*ahem
Look, unless you can form an actual logical sentence instead of vague, rediculous, wild accusations I believe we're done here.
There's no proof I'm a heretic, or involved with chaos, or anything. It's all hearsay.

>>8926152
Actually, you've pretty much admitted it.
>>8925277
>>8925377
You acknowledged that there was an infiltrator, as was known to the organization in question. You weren't told by us, so you must have learned of it from the cult.

>>8926207
>You acknowledged that there was an infiltrator
Hehehe. Eheh. Well, yes. I knew that Lang had one or more infiltration agents. Doesn't every Inquisitor?

>so you must have learned of it from the cult.
That's an interesting leap of logic, hairball.

>>8926207
Exactly. If Inquisitor Lang didn't tell you about an infiltrator, then the cult must have.

(By the way, stating the obvious: She's lying through her teeth.)

>>8926152
>>8926075
>>8925968

Do that in reverse, and...

>>8926281
(DANGIT YOU RUINED IT! I WAS HOPING NOBODY WOULD NOTICE)

>>8926252
Nice try, but you said "the infiltrator," not "a infiltrator." You were thinking of a specific infiltrator. And we've already established that Lang didn't mention anything about an infiltrator to you.

Hold it...

>>8926152
No one accused you of heresy. You assumed we did, but we never mentioned heresy. I merely asked why your Inquisitor didn't trust you with a piece of information.

>>8926075
You admitted that Lang did not inform you of Caliso's identity or that Kay was working undercover at all.
>>8925968

>>8925093
>So...the infiltrator...Urk!

And yet you KNEW that there was ONE infiltrator? That doesn't make any sense at all.

>>8926355
>...
>...
>...
Well, I guess I shouldn't have looked at his
>secret files,
but I took a peek at them about..er...
>three months ago.
Please don't tell Lang when he gets back.

>>8926476
There are no files on Kay Faraday.

(Hint: Check the evidence. And use the objecto-pics! D:)

>>8926476
Let's see them.

>>8926619
Six months ago Kay Faraday met... someone... who has been covering up all information on her. Three months ago it would have been impossible to find anything about her.

>>8926667
(ctrl+f: three months has failed me. I can't find any mention of three months ago and I don't see anything in the pictures ;_;)

>>8926749
So you're saying that Lang's files are on this ship?

>>8926619
>There are no files on Kay Faraday.
>>8926633
>Let's see them.
...Uh...W...
You'd need to give me access to a terminal for that.

>>8926772
>>8926777

>>8926749
Sorry, you're going to have to tell us how to find them. We can't let you anywhere near a terminal.

>>8926768
(She infiltrated six months ago. Ema wiped the files soon after. She was never actually in the files. So yeah, your conclusion.)

>>8926847
(Time for the dramatic conclusion, people)

>>8926777
What he said:
>>8926768

Thank you for being more careful, Mithras.

>>8926887
I try. But hey, my blunder earlier turned out okay, didn't it?

>>8926768
>!!!1one
I...I...er...
Uh...
...Eheh...

>>8926856
(That means pretty pictures and/or Hold It! or Objection!)

>>8926768
I...er...
FINE!
Fine, okay, sure. You want to know my place in all this? About the cult?
Really? I don't think you can handle the knowledge.
Haha. I'm going to tell you anyway.

>>8926982
All your life you've been an outsider. Even Lang only kept you around because you were useful to him. Nobody respected you for you. Until you met the cult. They gave you a home, friends, warm fuzzies.

>>8926931
You know... You'd look better if you didn't hide your forehead.

>>8926982
Try us.

>>8926982
Super-dee-doo.

>>8927022
Ehahahaha! You've got it all wrong.
>>8927023
>You'd look better if you didn't hide your forehead.
My offer still stands, you know. Ehehaha.

You know...That infiltrator...You called her Kay, but her name was Calisto...you...You don't know the whole story! She attacked...attacked Lang in the shuttle! We'd worked it out and everything!
She's just as much in this mess as I am! We...We'd buy separate shuttles...but...but we decided to
>only buy one shuttle!
Then...then on the way to the moon...the...she used the salvation pod, and returned to the surface...She..She's the one that killed Lang!

>>8927142
>only buy one shuttle!

Gotcha! The Black Marketeer who identified you said you were the only one who bought the shuttle! That can't be true!

>>8927227
(Actually it can. One person buying it is not the same as two people flying it)

>Shih-na stops laughing.

>>8927263
(but she said buy one shuttle, not fly one shuttle)

>>8927278
....Hey, cheer up.

>>8927305
(Yep. So, she bought the shuttle. Picked up Kay afterwards)

>>8927327
!
MEDIC! SOMEONE GET A MEDIC! NOW! GAURDS!

1:40 4-CHAN TIME
FRANZIKSA'S CRUISER
OUTSIDE SHIH-NA'S DETENTION CELL

>You recieve a report stating that Shih-na died of asphyxiation. The Ultrasmurf apothecaries are currently arguing with Franziska over the vox as to whether they can incinerate the body or not. You get the feeling that the apothecary is losing the argument.

(Summarize what you found out.)

....FUCK!
Probably poisoned. Where are the tech-priests when you need them?

>>8927338
>GAURDS!
(i lold)

>>8927375
...Or maybe she laughed her ass to death.

Hey, Mithras, good news for you, sounds like they'll be hanging on to the body for a while.

>>8927387
(GAWDS! GAWDS! CURM QUIGLY!)

>>8927375
>whether they can incinerate the body or not
!!!
*rushes to the morgue with a pair of scissors*

>>8927337
(Kay's version of the story is true.)

>>8927427
.....I was joking.... dude....
>>8927435
(Which part?)

>>8927375
Asphyxiation? And no-one knew how to do CPR?

Conditioning would have been almost impossible, because she's a null.

>>8927459
(The part where Shih-na bought the shuttle alone. What actually happened was that Shih-na ditched the 'OH GOD MY HAND IS A STUMP'-y Kay and bought a shuttle for herself. Kay then took hers back to the cruiser.)

>>8927465
(She literally laughed herself to death.
No conditioning, just 'oh shit i'm so stuffed lol oh crap gasp die'.)

>>8927465
Nah, the cogs, they dun r-u-n-n-o-f-t.
>>8927482
(And the rest?)

>>8927514
(Specify 'the rest'.)

>>8927528
("Da bitch was in on it.")

>>8927514
I is a Master Chirurgeon! I could do its!
Oh wait, I'm on a voxlink.
I could tell someone else how to do it!

.
... bit late now, I guess. Search body for clues. Did Mithras go to cut her fringe back?

>>8927546
...Best not to think of what he's doing.

>>8927375
After a long and painful interrogation, we found that Adept Shih-na had been working with the Tzeentch cult. She had been informed of the presence of an infiltrator (Kay Faraday) by the cult, but Inquisitor Lang kept Calisto Yew's identity (Kay Faraday) a secret from Shih-na.

Shih-na claimed that she knew of the infiltrator through Inquisitor Lang's files, but all files on Kay Faraday had been hidden by Ema. She tried to make Kay look like an accomplice in the assassination of Inquisitor Lang and claimed that she bought a shuttle with Kay to flee. The Black Marketeer interviewed had informed us that Shih-na was the only one who purchased the shuttle.

Shih-na asphyxiated and died (fatal hilarity?).

>>8927536
(Tru dat, homeboy.)
>no-one knew how to do CPR?
(Oh come on. A creepy, laughing person collapses infront of you. That might be involved with Tzeentch. HAY GUISE LET'S DO CPR NAU)

>>8927546
>>8927581
Does anyone know how to make a wig?

>>8927623
...For what?

>>8927607
Point.

Summary? We know nothing. Not even how to make wigs.

>>8927655
Well, there's this guardswoman who I met and I thought I could have her wear... er... well, you know... Since the sisters are so hard to get with...

>You gain the Talent: Trade(Wiggerer)
>>8927623

>>8927688
I'm sure she'll be just thrilled about that proposal. Better to ask her to try it out, and tell her how hot she is when she does.

>>8927726
Dyeing it, I mean.

>>8927714
Hey, don't judge a man for his taste in women. At least I had the integrity not to bang a heretic.

(And because I just realized I could.)

>>8927685
(Exactly. You kept getting side-tracked from your first question,
>>8924165
>What can you tell me about this list?

This isn't easymode any more. You're gonna have to actually make sure any questions you have are answered. Also: 21 4-chan time. Doritoes not needed this time.)

>>8927733
>Dyeing it

Of course! I could just get her to bleach her hair...

>>8927800
What about the cut? It's pretty obvious.

>>8927771
>This isn't easymode any more.

I'll step it up one level next time! My brain was not working quite right this time.

>>8927771
Well, if you're going to kill off the suspects with deus ex, there's not much to go on.

>>8927829
>brain was not working right

>>8925210
>proof

Goodnight everyone. I have a wig to make.

>>8927837
>Well, if you're going to kill off the suspects with deus ex, there's not much to go on.
(You had heaps of time to ask questions. Anyway, the questioning still had the desired results-you got what you needed for THE FINAL CONFRONTATION.)

>>8927902
Good luck with that.

I'm glad we got the cogs hooked up to the security system when we were talking to Ema. At least we'll know if Kay tries to make a move.

(Huh, Actually I can't do tomorrow, I can't make it. Make it the next day, 21 4-chan time. See you there.)

>>8927936
(Saturday?)

>>8927953
(I don't know you wacky U.S. times, but it'll be Sunday for me, since I'm an Ausfag...So yeah, Saturday for you.
....Dang, actually, do you wanna start earlier? I don't have anything else to do Sunday.)

>>8927986
(Not sure. We could, but we regularly have people leaving early, and they wouldn't get the memo. Unless we trust them to check sup/tg/.)

(Maybe start at 20 4-chan time on your Saturday, then?)

>>8928052
(No complaints from me. Who's going to archive?)

>>8928102
(Alright, I suppose you should get a gold star as well.)

(See you then. Remember: NO MORE EASYMODO FOR YOU.)
