(Bump from page four again. Is anyone here?)

At least the circlejerk's finally dead.

Narl Haxtes, at attention!
... where is everyone else?

>>8961477
(No clue. We'll wait for them. Did daylight savings go off over there as well or something?)

>>8961529
I'm here!

>>8961529
(A few weeks ago, I think.)

Alright. So, just so I know where we are;

Badd was tainted by the cult Shih-na was a part of, and that Kay (under the identity if Yew) had infiltrated. Kay is a mutant capable of regenerating her body, and thus may be suspect due to the corruption inherent in all mutants. Shih-nah is dead, so we can't get any more information from her unless we find a group of psykers powerful enough and willing to hold a seance.

>>8961601
We also learned that Lang is alive and Kay's loyalty is in question. I for one am wondering just who she is really infiltrating. In fact, it was Kay that killed Lang, according to the null, though Kay claimed Lang was still alive.

>You enter the command deck.

Ah. You're here.

I was going to ask you for a report on the investigation, but new information has come to light. You're to take a shuttle and proceed to the remains of the Mechanicus facility. The one you fools destroyed. Apparently the cult was planning on conducting a summoning ritual there.

>>8961654
We were told by Kay not to inform Fran of Lang's survival, but one ill turn deserves another, says I. She gave us no reason not to tell her other than some vague mentioning of her master's plan.

Stop it. Grandpa Dreadnought is gone, Turdvus is away, why do you have to insist on shitting up the board?

>>8961659
That was done by the old fools. We're the new fools. And what of our report? We've got some juicy stuff.

>>8961659
Wait. Planning, when? Now? Are we going into a combat situation?

I'm. Uhm. Not much of a fighter.

But there's no way I'm letting those filthy savages paw over the remains of such a Holy place. I'm going to need servitors. Combat servitors. As well as some archival and archeological servitors to recover any remaining pieces of blessed technology.

>>8961674
Go bother these people, Martha:
>>8961483

We believe that the cult has fortified the area, and as such you will no longer be undercover.
...Do not anger the Mechanicus further. I had to call in many, many favours just to get access to the planet.

>>8961681
There is no time! The summoning was to take place today.

>>8961693
>Combat servitors
...What happened to the last group I issued you?

>>8961748
Yes ma'am! Shall we be going it alone, or will we have support?

And keep an eye on Kay at all times. We've learned some things.

(I find it funny that there's only ever one guy that doesn't like RP threads. Never mind the fact that the board's 15 pages long now, or that you can hide threads. I mean, this isn't even an RP thread-It's a quest-thread.
/endfeedingtroll)

>>8961748
We were issued Combat Servitors? I have my personal stable of tech-servitors, but no combat ones. Hrm. I'll check the manifests, find out where they were stored and get them online.

...

Would this be a bad time to mention the fact I've never fired a gun in anger before?

>>8961809
What, you need training?

>>8961781
We do not have the resources or the time to requisitition additional forces. In any case, this is to be kept quiet. If word of this got out, there's going to be a mass-panic in the hives.

>>8961809
>We were issued Combat Servitors? I have my personal stable of tech-servitors, but no combat ones.

...........

>Would this be a bad time to mention the fact I've never fired a gun in anger before?
............................

>>8961840
It would be useful, though I'm not sure how much I might learn in the short time we have.

So, let's see. We've got one Crusader-in-training, a non-combat Techpriestess, and...yes, there we go, I see the Servitors now, down in Cargo Hold XXI. Six of them, armed with Gladius-pattern Heavy Bolters and one with a Purgatus Heavy flamer-unit. Omnissiah preserve us if the Cultists have anything heavier.

>>8961856
Alright. An almost-crusader and a tech-priestess that specializes in biology. And I suppose the Ultramarines will be staying here?

Do we have any idea of the enemy's numbers, fortifications, and so forth? I mean, that place was a crater, so it's not going to be a city-fight, right?

>>8961885
Wait, what rank are you? I know all coggies get training with lasguns and laspistols.

>>8961933

Oh, we get TRAINED, certainly. But that was during my time as an apprentice, and I never expected to get sucked into the Inquisition, so...

Well, I deleted the training programs from my internal Hard Drives to make way for more pressing issues.

I'm doomed.

>>8961984
Is there a program you can install?

>>8961891
>And I suppose the Ultramarines will be staying here?

Relations with them are...strained. Yes.

>Do we have any idea of the enemy's numbers, fortifications, and so forth?

We don't know their current numbers. I have only found out about this a short time ago. We don't have time for a reconnaissance mission.

>>8961984
>I deleted the training programs from my internal Hard Drives to make way for more pressing issues

............ I suggest you get moving. Take the servitors. There will be weapons in the shuttle.

>>8962026
Well, is the shuttle armed?

>>8962026
>Relations with them are...strained. Yes.

Yea, we're all doomed.

I'll signal my own stable of Tech-servitors to activate the Combat ones and get them loaded onto the shuttle. Hopefully it'll just be a rabble of wailing peasents and we'll roll over them in sort order, and we can spend lots of time searching the ruins for any valuable remains.

If it involves blowing stuff up from a safe distance or shooting people running straight at you, I can help.

>>8962026
>We don't have time for a reconnaissance mission.

Any satellite photos of the general area? Maps of the facility? Anything?

Lack of reliable intelligence has killed more armies than guns ever did.

>>8962096
We don't know, but we're on the attack and artillery is to big for this operation.

>>8962039
Unless you wish to take a drop pod, no.

Move out.

>Five Heavy Bolter servitors acquired, one Heavy Flamer servitor acquired.

>>8962122

Then we need automatic weaponry, grenades and ammo, lots of ammo.

Is there going to be close quarters combat?

>>8962135
YES, MA'AM!

And watch out for Kay! Lang lives!
>Acolytes, gear up and roll out!

>>8962135
Alright. Before boarding the shuttle, I activate my own three Tech-servitors and load them in.

If we survive, they should be able to recover anything salvagable, and hopefully that'll smooth things over between Lady Franziska and the Mechanicus somewhat. They'll also be able to safely record and store any possibly tainted artefacts we recover from the Cultists. That's got to be worth some brownie points, right?

What weapons are available in the shuttle?

>>8962206
Well, I've got my crusader armor, crusader's shield, a vanaheim shotgun and autopistol I had back in the guard, and crusader's power weapon. So I guess I get to stand in front.

>>8962248
If you ask me, here's the best strategy. We split into three groups. Myself and three Heavy Bolter servitors. You with the Heavy Flamer Servitor, and Major Alexandros with the other two Heavy Bolter Servitors.

The two of you and your Servitor groups will hide, one to each flank. In the middle, I'll take the three remaining Heavy Bolter Servitors in and start raising hell. If all goes to plan they won't see you two and will charge right towards me, exposing themselves. Alexandros and his two Servitors then open up, catching them in a Crossfire, while you, Haxtes, can advance with the Heavy Flamer servitor and break the survivors in close quarters.

>>8962286
Oh, and yes. This does mean I'm the bait.

Yes, I am terrified by this. But what little cogitation space I gave over to military tactics - an idle study I occasionally researched as a hobby - seems to suggest it's the most logical plan of attack.

>>8962286

That brings the question, where are we going to land, where are we going to hide or take cover?

A great general once said "no battle plan survives contact with the enemy", so, what do we do if that happens?

21:36 4-CHAN TIME
EDGE OF CRATER
TASHEN'S WORLD

>You land in the shuttle without incident. There are a few tents and a largish, solid building in the middle of the tent-compound. All the tents are red and have the Mechanicus cog on them. There are no signs of fortification.

>>8962188
(Facility was nuked by acolytes. It's a crater now.)

>>8962206
(Lasguns, lascarbines, two power swords, a chainsword, one man-portable Lascannon and enough ammo for everyone. And there's a box under the pilot's seat with porn in it.)

>What do?
1. Open fire on the tents, PURGE THE HERETICS
2. Check out the big building in the centre, to make sure you aren't purging Mechanicus here

>>8962308
Try to make sure they kill us and don't capture us?

>>8962321
Hold position for the moment while everyone gears up and gets ready. I'm going to send one of the Tech-servitors in via remote, meshing it with my Noospheric grid so I can see what it sees, and scope out what's in those tents. We will *NOT* be risking the lives of any more Mechanicus personel or equippment.

>>8962321
I have a plan.

>>8962352
>You dick around with the tech-servitor and eventually send it into camp. There are Mechanicus peoples and other servitors wandering around and performing various tasks. It all looks pretty legit until the servitor's feed goes down. Electromagnetic interference?

>>8962355
Alex, you stay here with the servitors and man the lascannon.

Lidia, you and I will go in with a couple of your tech-servitors and that one with the flamer, peacefully, and see what's up.

Anything goes wrong, Lidia can contact you via vox. The shuttle gets up in the air, and those heavy bolters and that lascannon gives death from above.

Everything goes well, we contact Fran and tell her that it was a false alarm.

Objections?

>>8962412
Hrm. Odd. Lost contact with the Servitor. I saw enough that the camp is indeed filled with Mechanicus personel, though, so it should be safe to proceed if we're all set. I just hope whatever shut the Servitor down doesn't do the same to my limbs.

While I'm here, someone toss me a Carbine and some ammo, if you'd be so kind?

>>8960929
Hey, chucklefuck. Do /tg/ a favor and delete your thread.

Stealth sage.

>>8962428
Agreed. I postulate whatever shut down the Servitor was an electromagnetic disturbance. Perhaps there was a deep subterranian vault these good people opened and recovered a bit of technology from.

>>8962441
'ere you go, lass. So do we go with my plan, or do we have an alternative?

>>8962441
>You acquire a lascarbine and three charge packs.

>What do now?

1. PURGE THE MECHANICUS BWAHAHAHA.
2. Proceed into the tent compound.
3. Proceed into the tent compount, decked out for COMBAT with LASCANNONS and FLAMER SERVITORS!!11one
4. Actually, 3 might not be a good idea because the mechanicus might use the presence of heavy weaponry as an excuse to splat you.
5. Go with Narl's plan.

>>8962471
Thanks. As I said; your own plan seems the best we have.

>>8962503
Naryl's plan. As we approach, I'll broadcast Binaric cants of greeting and friendship to let them know we're not coming as enemies.

>>8962505
Alright. Weapons sheathed, no reason to make them think we're hostile.

Alex, you still here? Care to weigh in on this?

I think he snatched the pilot's porn...

>>8962846

No.

>>8962887
>He excuses himself from the conversation and walks over.
Kristoph.
Yes, most of Tashen's World knows about the tragedy. I was the administrator of that facility. I am now in charge of the reconstruction operations.

(For those who don't know.)

>>8963011
Huh. I always thought this was a AdMech facility.

>>8963041
It was indeed.
You have been here before, then?

>>8963113
Not myself, but I've known some people who've been by. You certainly don't look like a member of the Machine Cult. High-quality bionics that look just like real flesh, is that it?

>>8963175
Most of my upgrades are internal, correct.

...You are with the Inquisition, correct? Do you want to inspect the facility?

o.o?

>>8963313
Ah, right, you're in charge? Excellent. Yes, we're with the Inquisition. It was, apparently, an errant group of agents who caused the destruction of this facility. We were dispatched to conduct an investigation and aid the recovery efforts. Don't worry, the Inquisition will see that you're compensated for the horrific losses here.

Omnissiah preserve me, though, it would have been a miracle if there was anything left to recover.

I sent a Servitor ahead of me, and it shorted out. Did you recover any sort of Electromagnetic technology from the disaster area? Or anything else that might have caused such a malfunction?

Hm.
>No, if we had found any EMP technology, it would have shorted most of our servitors out as well.

>Or anything else that might have caused such a malfunction?

I can think of one thing.

>>8963496
Ah, but one that proved correct, yes?

>>8963576
>I can think of one thing.

Might I enquire as to what it is? We'll likely need to take a full inventory to calculate the amount of compensation you'll be due from the Inquisition. If it's Mechanicus-eyes-only, have no fear. My loyalties are to Mars and the Omnissiah first, and the Inquisition second - I can keep such information away from my Mistress' eyes if you desire.

>>8963576
True, but I'm wondering why you would come to such a conclusion.

>>8963667
Firstly, you came from orbit.
Secondly, you have Crusader power armour.
Thirdly, you're wandering around in a crater far from any civilization. Which brings me to my next point-

>>8963634

I'd tell you what we found but it might just shatter your soul, and we can't have that.

>The doors slam closed behind you, plunging the area into darkness.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. What have I missed?

And, suddenly, I have the most horrible feeling about this.

I fiddle with my Bionic Eye, trying to shift it into a low-light vision mode.

>>8963800
We're investigating the crater of the exploded Mechanicus Facility, which apparently was to be the site of a Heretical summoning ritual, but instead we've run into a group of suspicious, creepy Mechanicus scavengers.

Problem being that most people don't know about the Emperor's Own Inquisition, and we like to keep it that way.

>>8964263

(For the record, and noting that I'm still in the shuttle, are there any movement or suspicious activities I could spot from there? Anything that could make me realize there is something fishy going on?)

(Internet just took a dump.)
>>8964466
(See you.)

>The lights come back on, and you see you are surrounded by what looks like most of the camp. Most of them have some kind of las-weapon aimed at you.

Are you going to come quietly or will we have to incapacitate you?

>He notices Narl giving him a death-stare.

Any actions you take affect you as a group. If you make a move, the person next to you dies.

>>8964572

Demetri does not like this thread.

>>8964572
As opposed to what if we play along?

>>8964572
>Notices she is next to Narl.
>This is not fantastic.
...

>>8964514
(Well, the entire camp just emptied, and there's suspicious radio silence.)

>Your weapons and ammo get taken from you by techpriests.

>>8964605
If you...'play along' as you put it, you might live.
I'll put it another way: You have a 100% chance of death if you mess around now. The chances of survival can only improve.

Now, if you would kindly...
>He points to a soundly-build doorway flanked by creepy looking servitors. The servitors jiggle around a bit and open the door. You get shoved inside. The doors close.

>He notices her D: face.

>>8964720
(Wait, I never surrendered my weapons.)

>>8964625

(Jolly good, then I can go with what I had in mind).

After waiting for several minutes next to the voxcaster and receiving nothing but static, the Sergeant Major, oblivious to the going-ons of his team-mates but determined to do something other than standing next to a bunch of silent combat servitors, finally decides to move.

"Right... I guess I'll take that as a yes, so now, power sword or chainsword?"

>signals the combat servitors to follow him into the camp, packs his trusty bolt pistol, shoulders the lascannon and draws a power sword from the rack, happy to have a new toy to play with.

D:
...I don't like it here...

>>8964807
(33. Was 28, but I got the Fellowship characteristic advance at the ass end of rank 4, which I characterized as Narl beginning to bath regularly.)

>>8964904
(As well as basic grooming.)

>>8964904
>Before you were shove into the room, one of the Mechanicus found himself thinking. What if that was him? In that situation, with no way out... He begins to feel compassion for you, and whilst searching you for weapons leaves you the autopistol. It has two shots in its clip.

>>8964988
(All that for two shots with an autopistol?)

>>8965016
(He couldn't exactly leave you a shotgun or whatever. It had to be something small and inconspicuous. Anyway:)

>>8965095
>Y

>>8965101
...

>>8965101
(Derf. I meant two bullets AND the clip.)

>>8965125
I could have taken them. Power armor. Against las rifles. And I'm a crusader, yes I could have blocked the shots for you.

>>8965135
(Oh. That makes more sense. I was picturing him unloading it an counting the bullets before putting the two back in, while all his buddies were watching.)

>>8965163
(Made me lol.)

>You turn around and-

You too?

>>8965138

>>8965211
Who the fuck are you?

Town seems to be deserted, any ideas?

>waits a couple of seconds with servitors next to him

Might as well knock on someone's door and see if anybody saw Haxtes and the coghead.

>knock knock

>>8965211
You're gonna have to introduce yourself first. I've had a bad time meeting new people today.

>>8965224
You know I'm right.

>>8965224
Inquisitor Shi-long Lang, since you asked so nicely. Who're you?

>>8965244
>No answer.

>>8965264
Narl Haxtes, Crusader-in-training in the service of one Inquisitor Franziska. So Kay betrayed you?

>>8965264

>knocks the doors on all of the other buildings (if there's a small amount of them)

>>8965264
Quintilla. Techpriest.
How did you get here?

>>8965290
So, we're imprisoned by cultists and the first thing you ask is whether one of my subordinates betrayed me? Heh. How do you know about Faraday?

>>8965292
>You wander around the tent compound checking doors and windows. Place looks deserted. There's a wierd purple light coming from the centre of the compound, though.

>>8965244
(You sure are getting along with servitors better than the last time you met one.)

>>8965326
I was investigating the cult-Sis told you about the Tzentch cult, right?-and they fidured out who I was, what I was doin' here.
>I don't know how they found out, though.

...You smuggle any weaponry in here?

>>8965372

Well, this was an exercise in futility...

>notices purple lights

Well... fuck, that's never a good thing.

>sets combat servitors so as to cover the entrances and his approach to the main building, drops lascannon and advances with pistol and sword

>>8965408

(Oh, shut up).

>>8965372
Because we're investigating your apparent death. Get well soon.

She's the one who told us that you're still alive. She also insisted that we not tell Fran.

>>8965450
I got an autopistol and twenty bullets for it.
I'm also glad they don't consider crusader riot shields weapons.

>>8965450
They. Cut. Off. My. Mechadendrite.
So that's a no.
...

Think anyone could have ratted you out?

>>8965292
Sarge Major. I was trying to hack into Haxtes' vox and all I got was static. You're the closest I can get. What's up?

>>8965488
(They took your riot shield. That's retarded, it's like a dang storm-shield. Of course they took it.)

>>8965461
>investigating your apparent death.
Ha ha ha! Plan worked, then. Good on her.

>She's the one who told us that you're still alive. She also insisted that we not tell Fran.

...You haven't known her for long, have you?

>I got an autopistol and twenty bullets for it.
Good. You any good with it?

>Think anyone could have ratted you out?
No. Didn't know anyone down here.
>>8965459
>As you approach the building, you hear the servitors behind you making odd clicking noises. You turn around, and notice that there are wierd purple sparks running along them. They look more dangerous than you remember.

>As you approach the building, you hear the servitors behind you making odd clicking noises. You turn around, and notice that there are wierd purple sparks running along them. They look more dangerous than you remember.
(I spoke too soon!)

>>8965606

I'd be lying if I said I know just exactly what is going on here, all I can report is that the "peaceful" mechanicus encampment Haxtes and the others walked into an hour or so ago is now devoid of life and that my team-mates are nowhere to be found. Furthermore, there are strange, coloured lights coming from the main building, which I will proceed to investigate and purge if necessary.

Recommend you contact Franziska and report on status of mission and team, request reinforcements and/or heavy weapons to be used by humans, machines seem to be failing.

>>8965642
(Fine. But I'm claiming here and now one fiat point. Not fate point, fiat point.)
>>8965642
Fran or Kay?

(Ohgodemperor what is this Idon'teven.)

You have got to be fucking kidding me...

>looks for and jumps behind the nearest object capable of providing reliable cover against heavy bolter fire.

>>8965673
Oh joy. Gimme a look....

...oh....

...you know what warp static is?

Trying to raise the cruiser.

>>8965723

No, I don't fucking know what warp static is, now hurry the fuck up, I think those servitors are going to try and murder me any time now!

>>8965696
(Fiat point?)
Kay. She kept the plan under wraps, right?
...You got any way out of this room?


>>8965715
>You do a COMBAT ROLL behind a set of stairs. The servitors whine and jiggle around for a while before apparently becoming docile. One of them falls over.

>>8965723
>You contact the cruiser. You are suddenly face-to-face with a bored looking Ultramarine. He appears to be asleep.

>>8965835
(Ever hear the term DM fiat?)
Somewhat.

>>8965796
Crap. I'm not getting through to ANYONE.

...I can try and Weapon Jinx them. Watch out for warp shenanigans.

>>8965835
>looks up from behind his cover

Thank the Emperor.

>>8965796
>>8965723

Sorry for the outburst, thought I was going to get attacked by crazy machines... again... any luck contacting the cruiser?

>>8965835
Sure, I think we were the only people she told...

>>8965850
You do?

>>8965888
And the silent treatment stops. Do what?

>>8965850
(Nope. And if you mean 'DM FORCED ME TO DO SOMETHING' it's because of this right here: see this shield? If you were taken prisoner I sure as hell wouldn't leave something that dangerous-looking with them. Would you?)

>>8965876
I'm through, just gotta wake up this Ultramarine....

...heh heh heh...

"MARNEUS CALGAR UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER!"

>>8965923
(Actually, I'm referring to "they take all your weapons without you resisting.")

>>8965850
>somewhat

>You do?

>>8965888
>Sure, I think we were the only people she told...

Well, I guess it was for the better. If you have an autopistol, mind blowin' that lock off?

>>8965870
(The veil is very, very weak here. Just so you know.)

>>8965921
Have a-

Never mind.

>>8965933
(Okay. What's DM Fiat, anyway?)

>>8965928
>The Ultramarine mumbles something about 'hold me closer, Primarch' and slides further into the chair.

>>8965985
I was referring to Kay keeping it under wraps. Let's have a look around.

>>8965973
So we can get out into a room full of armed people who would then know we are armed?
...
That seems like a bad idea.

>>8965995
(In this case, DM dictating PC actions. It can also be fudging rolls or retconning events in your own campaign.)

>>8966005
>You poke around, and find the door, a crack in the ceiling that runs down the back wall, and the floor. And Lang again. And Cog.

>>8966027

Umm, how about, "SLEEPING AT YOUR POST IS HERESY!"

Alex, I'm not sure if we'll be able to get help from the cruiser anytime soon.

>>8966061
(It's the GM saying "This happens[/happened/is this way]. Because I am the GM". It is not, in and of itself, a bad thing. But it CAN go too far.)

>>8966064
>The Ultramarine waves his arm around as if he's going to throttle someone, whilst mumbling something about having a '3+ armour save versus a laspistol, bitch'.

>>8966094
(Aha. Thanks.)

>>8966015
The alternative is to sit in here and wait for the chaos fueled hereteks summoning a daemon to decide what to do with us.
>>8966044
(Crack as in slight crack or crack I can see through? How thick is the door? And what about the power armor? That takes a while to remove anyway.)

>>8966064

Alright, you keep trying to raise the cruiser, I'll go in and check the most likely chaos-infected building on my own... but first.

>Alex approaches and makes sure he deactivates/shoots in the head/disarms the servitors before proceeding to the centre of the camp.

Emperors Blood!

I missed the first combat mission! I've been itching to shoot someone all week. I can't believe it! Lucy... check... Greenie... check... frag 'nades... check...

*punches the drop pod launch button*

>>8966155
Look, I GET that doing nothing isn't going to work. We do have to do something, and fast.
But maybe there is a way we could go about doing it that doesn't scream "Hey! Shoot me!"?

>>8966155
(They left the power armour on.)
>You check the door. It seems to actually be around 1/3 of a metre thick. You check the crack. It's a fault in the building; if you applied enough force you might be able to break the wall.

>>8966182
You can handle the G stress?

>>8966170
Careful, whatever's going on in there will probably involve warp shenanigans without my help.

>>8966170
>Alex picks up the portable lascannon and aims it at the door of the central building

Enough is enough, I've had it with these motherfucking heretics in my motherfucking Imperium!

Who goes there!?

>>8966224
(Any ideas as to what happens if the wall breaks, other than a whole in the wall?)

Ehm... It's Acolyte Mithras. Nice to see you, Sergeant. Did I already miss everything?

>>8966361
(Okay.)

Quintilla, don't suppose you have something to drill a whole in this wall so we can take a peek at what's on the other side? Before we remove the wall?

>>8966312
(No! Wait! I didn't! I read my reading of it wrong. Or something. I don't know. I should probably sleep soon, being awake doesn't seem to be doing me good...)

>>8966333
>(THE FORCES ON RE-ENTRY WILL SMUSH YOU INTO A PASTE)
(Errr... uh... oops?)

>>8966380
...
...
I only had one mechadendrite, Narl.
...And I am not sure tech here works right, anyway. It wasn't... Doing what I told it to.
...
Before it got cut off, I mean.

>>8966425
Well do you have a hand drill?

>>8966451
Why would I have a hand drill?

>>8966378

Oh, it's you.

Yes, you have missed quite a bit, there is some really heretical shit going on here and I have reasons to believe that a dark mechanicus cult has taken Haxtes and the Coggirl prisoners.

And my weapons seem to have met their match with some strange shield around that building over there.

Other than that, machines do not respond and fail as soon as we approach it.

>>8966461
Then I guess we just have to tear the wall down and hope for the best. The doors to thick and probably guarded.

Lang! You have an aim that isn't average?

>>8966404
(Ace Attorney 40k: Not as grimdark as normal 40k.)

>You could make a decent sized hole if you, y'know, kicked it. You're wearing POWER ARMOUR after all. You're heavy.

>>8966499
They... they've been taken prisoner?

We better find a way inside, fast. Is there no way through the shield? If the ritual is completed... I don't even want to imagine...

>>8966570

Well, you arrived just after I shot it with this lascannon, the only other option we have is walking in... and that's something I'd like to avoid if possible.

You could say that.

>runs away from the thrusters to avoid getting killed by the inferno they have just unleashed

Did you see that? A heretic shot at us and blew up the entire camp! Right?

Anyway, that psyker maybe right. Let's try a rock first and then see if we can pass through.

They'll probably have heard that. Good! A distraction!
(Roll STR?)

>>8966736
>The rock gets disintegrated into smaller rocks which get disintegrated into a sheet of flame. You decide that you should not dick with the shield. In other news, a section of wall on the side of the building breaks open and a power-armoured figure breaks out.

You see, I am hoping that was the rest of the team and that they have succeeded in at least distracting our captors.

>>8966757
(STRENGTH? NO! FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF THE EMPEROR THAT THE HERETIC WALL WILL FALL BEFORE HIS MIGHT)

>>8966765
>>8966736
Throw more rocks, so they know the shield is there!

This is not fucking fair, now we have to deal with heretics in power armour?

>takes cover and aims lascannon at large armoured figure

Halt in the name of the God Emperor! Identify yourself!

>>8966783
(DISREGARD ROLL. So what, we made a whole to Outsideland? And the rubble strikes the shield or something?)

>>8966796
I'M YER HAIRY DRUNKEN BASTARD OF A FATHER!

>>8966796
...y'know it looks like Haxtes' armour, don't you? And why would the heretics be kicking holes in their own building?

>>8966784
>You throw more rocks. You start to realize that the shield might be feeding off the material fed to it, as it is now manifesting an eye and looking at you with the best 'u mad' look a single eye can make. You also figure the shield is

...Superior firepower.

>>8966976
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

>>8966884

THAT'S FUCKING RETARDED!

>>8966976

SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

>>8966976
Are you implying that we should blow things up?
If so, I like the plan already.
Elaborate, please.

>>8967028
IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS!

But not as good as his. I think we're gonna turn the drop pod into a weapon. Or at least the fires. Or something.

...

What's your plan, Lang?

CRATER FORMERLY KNOWN AS A MECHANICUS FACILITY BUT IS NOW A HAVEN FOR HERETEKS AND PARTLY ON FIRE
OUTSIDE THE STEEPLE
>Lang has moved the drop-pod so that the thrusters are propped against a house. The drop-pod is pointed at the door. There are (not on-fire) rags draped over it and the thrusters.

You came here in a shuttle, right? Does it have any weapons on it?

>>8967130

I think we should all go back to the shuttle now.

>>8967130
>Holy fuck! How strong is Lang?

You reckon you can fire that thing through the shield?

>>8967155
Should, presuming Alex left them there and no one's dicked with it.

>>8967187

I left everything where it originally was, save for the pilot's porn, but that has nothing to do with this.

>>8967172
(He used the side-thrusters on it, he didn't pick it up and move it.)
>You reckon you can fire that thing through the shield?

Maybe.

>>8967187
>Should, presuming Alex left them there and no one's dicked with it.

Good. Bring 'em here.
Techpriest! Can you rig these weapons to fire on one trigger?
>He eyes Mithras.
What was your name again? Whatever, doesn't matter. Help cart the weapons here.

>>8967233
And the servitors.

>>8967292

Servitors are all "dead" and burning, didn't want them to suddenly come back to life and start shooting at us after they died on their own.

>>8967280
Right away, sir.

>>8967280
... Alright, we got flashlights, compact flashlights, two power swords, and a chainsword.

>>8967280
What?
...
Yeah, I guess I can. Shouldn't be too hard.
I'll do that now.

>>8967333

I took one of the power swords and this lascannon here.

>shows gun to Lang

Think I've gotten quite good at it, we could also scavenge the flamer and heavy bolters off the servitors...

>>8967328
Still got heavy wepons, but.

Hey, don't suppose we could contact the barge by means of that shuttle?

>>8967365
Sure. Then we just need to wake up the Ultrasmurf on the other end of the link.

>>8967378
Try asking them about something in the Codex Astartes.

>>8967431
Dunno what's in the Codex Astartes. I tried yelling something about Calgar, and he just muttered something about the Primarch.

>>8967461
Ask them about besieging a singular structure in the middle of a crater.

Good. Right, this is the plan.

Haxtes! You're first through the door. Aim for any priority targets. You get the power sword and your autopistol.
>Autopistol and powersword given to Narl.

Quintilla! You get the lasweapons. Tape them together, aim at the biggest clump of hereteks. Follow Narl.

Mithras! Get the heavy bolters. We'll cover you until you get inside. Set the heavy bolters down somewhere and lay down covering fire.

Alexandros! Keep the lascannon. If there are any hard targets inside, splat 'em.

I'll take the chainsword and the heavy flamer.

The drop-pod will provide our entry point.


>>8967365
>You realize that communications are still stuffed, as your radio doesn't work.

>>8967486

Sir, how do you propose we get through the energy shield that sets stuff on fire and is currently giving us a mean look?

>to prove his point, Alex throws another rock the the "u mad" face on the shield.

>>8967486
Fucking right! Take no prisoners?

>>8967486
>heavy bolters

At last, this day has come. Right away, sir.

>>8967547
We throw a bigger rock.

>>8967558
Correct.
Ready?
>His finger hovers over the 'fire the thrusters' button on the drop-pod remote.

>>8967486
Yes, sir!
I'll have them ready in just a- ...
...
... There we go!
Let's fry some hereteks!

>>8967597
I'm ready. Everyone else ready?

>>8967486
FUCK we need a drawfag on this. Seriously.

>holds on tightly to his gun and mutters something about there not being enough trenches

If you say so, Sir.

*crackle*.. ood lu..*fizz* *pop*

>>8967610
Enthusiastically so, yes.

Emperor, bestow on me Your righteous fury and Your furious strength. Let me become the storm that blasts the enemy from Your sight.

>>8967614
(*Raises hand sheepishly*
I don't know what everyone looks like, though...)

>>8967645
Emperor, guide us as we charge these whoresons. Be with us as we mangle their bodies beyond all human recognition with no regard for what any individual did or did not do. And smile upon us as we drag any unfortunate enough to survive kicking and scream, flailing their broken limbs as we take them to the worst punishments we can offer.

>This happens. The drop pod hits the shield, the shield flares up, then dissipates. The rags on the drop pod catch on fire from the thrusters, and it goes flying through the door. A FLAMING DROP POD flies through the door. It dissapears inside. Two seconds later, you hear a massive explosion.


>>8967686
(Narl is incredibly hairy and a crusader. Is the pic I posted earlier.
Mithras looks like his pic.
Lang looks like his pic.
Got no clue what you look like.
Alexandros is a Krieger.)

>>8967686
(Mithras looks like Apollo, with one bionic eye, the other eye socket covered with an eye patch, and Arbites carapace armor)

>>8967784

Well, well, over the top it is gentlemen!

Tally ho!

>>8967784
(I thought Mithras got his face melted. Did he get better?)

>>8967784
(Coggirl looks like... a coggirl. Duh.)

Ah... That... That is a wonderful sound.

>>8967810
(Him and the Ultrasmurf apothecary have a love-hate relationship? Ionno. But yeah, bionic eye + eyepatch.)

That's our cue!
LANG ZI SAYS: THERE IS NO KILL LIKE OVERKILL!
>He revs the chainsword and advances towards the door.

IT'S NARL TIME!

(Grr... I know Narl and Mithras have a matching set of bionics, but who has which eye? I forget.)

>>8967873
>follows the inquisitor, trying to keep a space open to fire without hitting him

For Emperor and Imperium, charge!

>>8967901
(I've got my helmet on, so which ever you pick for Mithras.)

>>8967810
(Well, yeah, his face got melted...)

>>8967873
Holy Emperor, deliver us from the darkness of the void, guide my weapon in Your service.

Alright...!
>Follows Narl, as per orders.

CRATER FORMERLY KNOWN AS A MECHANICUS FACILITY BUT IS NOW A HAVEN FOR HERETEKS AND PARTLY ON FIRE
INSIDE THE STEEPLE WHICH IS ALSO PARTLY ON FIRE

>You see bits of drop-pod everywhere, and a giant-glowy purple ring thing on the the floor. Kristoph is standing in the centre.

>>8967943
>stops, takes a knee, aims and fires a volley of lasfire at the tall, blonde, glowing-purple man.

*hiss*... tter ... oor...*SHRIEK!*

>>8967943
(Anything else?)

>>8967943
Do you think we'll get in trouble if we-
>>8967981
Awesome.
>Aims. Fires. On Kristoph, of course.

>>8967941
*follows behind them toting around a giant Heavy Bolter*
*climbs on top of a smoldering pile of rubble and begins setting up the bolter*

*snap* *fizz* ...... the ring, dam ... *pop* ... shoot...*whistle*

(Forgot to point out that there are cultist corpses everywhere. Some on fire, some just butchered. It might be the circle is painted in blood, iono.)
>>8967981
>(volley of lasfire
>lascannon
>doing it wrong)

>The las-bolt stops in the air just infront of Kristoph.

...Trust the Ever-Scheming Father to make this challenging.
>He raises his fist, and a glowy-purple aura form around it.

>>8968034
>Your shots also are prevented from breaching his shield. It pushes him back a few steps. He doesn't like this.

>>8968096
(If only you had anti psyker fighters.)

>>8968096
>the krieger frowns under his gas-mask and immediatly drops the lascannon, choosing to unholster his bolt pistol and opening on the heretic

>>8968096
(forms, derp)

>>8968096
... Damn.

>>8968082
...What was that...?
>Fiddles with the vox.
...
>Taps in gently.
Try that again...

(BTW: This is boss-fight style. Y'all get a turn, then he gets a turn, then you lot get a turn again. Whatever action you state you do is your turn.)

>>8968096
>Narl takes cover behind some large pieces of rubble, and takes out the auto-pistol.

*screech!* Break.... *hiss* *pop* Ing. *whine*

>>8968082
>>8968096
!!!
*finishes setting up the bolter and sprays at the ring of blood and any occult symbols*

>>8968176
>Also, half-action to aim.

rolled 2 = 2

He stretches out his shiny, purple fist and fires a giant beam of purple at:

5=Mithras
6=Haxtes
7=Quintilla
8=Alexandros
4 or below=Total miss

rolled 36, 7 = 43

>>8968242
>Single shot to see if it'll be blocked. Second shot because single shot is a half action so might as well.

rolled 2, 8 + 4 = 14

>>8968263
(BTW, 35 BS, +10 for Half-action Aim.)

>>8968263
(Can I know if his shot got through before I take my turn?)

*hiss* Crack the *whiiiine* *click* "Signal lost. Thank You for using Chaos Disconnect. Whoever you were trying to reach has been made unavailable at this time, and will be unreachable for the forseeable future. And we see a LOT of the future. Remember: Chaos Disconnect. For all your counterintelligence needs.""

>Kristoph misses, and scores a freaking massive gouge down the front steps and through the ground. It's like ten metres deep. He makes a D: face.

>>8968194
>You shoot the floor, and the corpses, and the walls, and the ceiling, and actually a couple rounds hit Kristoph's shield, but it has no noticable effect.

>Alexandros' bolter rounds also detonate on his shield, pushing him back a few steps. He's slowly sliding out of the centre ring of the circle.

>Narl's shots ping off his shield as well. He's got one foot outside the circle. He looks fucking terrified.

>>8968325
Oh... Fuck.

>>8968328
Oh... Better!
>Aim. Fire. Like before. You get the idea.

>>8968328

Onwards!

>Alex moves for cover while keeping Kristoph pinned with his bolt-pistol fire.

>>8968354
(Roll for it. What's your BS?)

rolled 23 = 23

>>8968325
Aaaaaaaaaaa damn!

>>8968328
Reciting the Litany of Smiting, Mithras takes his time to line up his sights and lets a burst of bolter rounds spray at Kristoph.

rolled 1, 8, 9 = 18

>>8968354
>Your ad-hoc MULTILASER slides both of his feet outside of the circle. He looks down.

Oh F-

>He suddenly is suffused with a giant-purple beam of light from the circle.
(Perils! :D)

>>8968394
(How close are we to him again?)

rolled 76, 36, 14 = 126

>>8968394
(I forgot a zero.
And there's no real need to roll, his shield is basically blocking any fire that goes anywhere near him. Missing would be incredibly hard.)

>>8968362
(Ooooh... But my rolls are always bad!
So I am letting the Narrative work it out?)

>>8968401
(About twenty-five metres.)

>>8968406
>>8968413
(Apparently, not an issue.)
>>8968418
Soooooo..... Is this the part were we back the fuck up?

>>8968394
>Keeps shootin.
Haha, alRIGHT!

>>8968432
Actually, I'd say this is the part where we shoot him until he is dead.
...
You can back up, if you want.

rolled 46 = 46

>>8968446
Yeah, let's do that.
>Full-auto! +20, additional hit for every degree of success.

rolled 6 + 2 = 8

>>8968494
>One hit. Reaction to dodge?

>Kristoph blinks a few times, and looks around in disbelief.
...I'm not dead! I must be favoured of Tzee-

>The ring then explodes in a big-purple explosion, flinging him up into the air. Blood from the corpses and ring lift up into the air and spirals around him like a tornado. You can just barely hear

"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-"

>above the tornado and blood flying everywhere. He reaches the peak of his fling, and poofs out of existance. The final fantasy victory theme plays.

Hah, another victory for our glorious Emperor, now let us depart this forsaken land and call in orbital bombardment to erase all traces of corruption with holy fire!

>>8968513
(I should add that this giant mindfuck give you 2d10 insanity points each.)

>>8968513
...So! Let's set this place on fire and get something to eat!

rolled 9, 6 = 15

>>8968530
What have I just seen?

That was embarrassingly satisfying.

>>8968532
I fully support this suggestion!

rolled 5, 2 = 7

>>8968530

Such is the punishment for those who stray from the path set forth by our most glorious Emperor.

rolled 7, 6 = 13

>>8968530

rolled 1, 8 = 9

>>8968530
(*Sigh*)

>>8968546
(You get a normal willpower save, though.)

rolled 54 = 54

>>8968578
(Oh, well I'ma do that.)

rolled 27 = 27

>>8968578
(Oh, I'll take that, then.
Watch how laughably I fail it.)

rolled 23 = 23

>>8968584
(Spending fatepoint.)

>>8968598
(Emprah protects!)

rolled 47 = 47

>>8968546

>>8968597
(Ohwow! Or not! This is the first WP save I've actually passed in... Too long?)

>>8968610
(Rolled willpower, failed, spent fate point, succeeded.

>>8968610
(I'm getting post-crossed. Derf. Okay, so Mithras gets a Trauma test.)

rolled 34 = 34

>>8968578

Rolling vs. 29

rolled 72 = 72

>>8968626

Spending fate point too.

>>8968649

Oh well, it's just 7 insanity points.

(Mithras, what's your Willpower?)
(And Alexandros, can you roll dem points again? I did the whole rolling thing in the wrong order.)

>>8968711

But I rolled so low!

Okay... fine...

But can I get my save again and then roll points if I fail?

rolled 83 = 83

>>8968623
>>8968711
WP: 37

>>8968736
(:| You freaked out, failed to man up, now you're freaking out again.)

>>8968740
>YOU GET NIGHTMARES. NIGHTMARES WITHIN PEOPLE IN BLUE SUITS EAT YOUR EYES.

(just do it all again, from the top?)

rolled 3, 1 = 4

>>8968802

(Okay, okay, I get it).

>>8968817

There, took it like a man.

>>8968802
MY EYES!

AAAAAHHHHH GET AWAY!! MY EYES!! MY EYES!!

>>8968844
...YOUR EYE! SINGULAR! AND IT'S BIONIC!

>>8968844
(Your cybernetic eyes?)

>>8968854
>>8968859
NO! HE'S EATING MY EYES! THE TEEEEEEEEEEETH
THOUSANDS OF TEEEEEEEEEEEETH
AAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH

>>8968817

FRANZISKA'S CRUISER
COMMAND DECK

>Franziska recieved a pre-liminary report from Lang detailing your heroic actions and what happened planetside. She's called you onto the command deck.

..................

>>8968899

Ah, Madam Inquisitor, a pleasure to see you again. You look positively stunning, if I may say so.

>>8968899
Ma'am.

>>8968899
G-greetings, Lady Inquisitor.

You used an Ultramarine relic as a battering ram...
You decided to take on a tainted heretek psyker by yourselves, without calling for support...
You tainted my spare shuttle...
You BROKE ALL THE COMBAT SERVITORS...

>>8969005

Not our fault, comms were not working, I blame the hereteks and dark magic got the servitors, don't have a good history with them so I disabled the machines just in case, I accept full responsability.

That said, would you be interested in accompanying me for some drinks after this debriefing is over?

(Deleting time delay was a terribad idea.)
Hey sis, the drop-pod ram was my idea. Don't give them credit for my brilliance.

>>8969005
Okay.
1) We tried to call for help. We couldn't, because of the warp.
2) We didn't taint it. Again, blame the warp.
3) I sure as hell didn't break any combat servitors. I think we can blame the warp this time, too.
AND
4) I have to get a new mechadendrite to get since mine got CUT OFF while working for YOU.
Have a nice day.
>Leaves.

(Sleeeeeeeeep.)

>>8969040
>don't have a good history with them so I disabled the machines just in case, I accept full responsability.
>I disabled the machines just in case, I accept full responsability.
>I disabled the machines just in case
>just in case
>full responsibility
.....

>>8969083

One of them tore my right arm off and left me to bleed to death.

I could get them fixed for you, free of charge, now about those drinks...

>>8969082
(Night night.)
>>8969005
Sounds about right, though I don't think the shuttle was tainted.

(It's traditional for Phoenix Wright games to end with an objection, so...ALLTOGETHER NOW)

>>8969095

*screeeech* Oh hai. You win?

>>8969105

Ouch, okay, I get it!

Geez, it's only a couple of robots, I'll have them up and running in no time, no need to get like that.

OBJECTION!

(Archive nao, I guess?)

>>8969158
(SAY IT)

>>8969173

Okay, here it goes:

OBJECTION!

Aside: Are we still up for drinks, coz' I know this awesome bar on a nearby planet...

OBJECTION!!!

I... we...

I don't remember what happened actually. I just remember Haxtes and Alexandros holding me down, then the techpriestess stuck me with a needle... then I remember the nightmares.

(Thanks for playing, everyone :D I might even run another one some time in the future. How can I improve/suck less?)

>>8969211
(pssst. The Sarge is hitting on the white-haired chick. You gonna let that go?)

>>8969214
(Not sure. Little hiccups do arise, but not with enough consistency to pin them as real problems. I can start keeping track, if you want.)

>>8969214
Hmm. Stop running games when I've got a lawn to mow? It's dark now, damnit.
Apart from that, no amazing ideas. Be careful about use of fiat. Be clear about actions and available materials. Pretty good, really. Way better than the crap I usually run.

>>8969247
Oh... I will. Not right here in front of everyone else, but I will do something. But I not really not that worked up about it. I figure the Sororitas are more worth my time.

>>8969214
>>8969273

(There were some small inconsistencies that confused me at times, but I can't think of one in particular right now. Be very careful how you phrase certain key statements and key pieces of information. Tricky language can throw people off sometimes.

I had a lot of fun!)

>>8969214
(All around, this was pretty damn fun. We can beware the fiat, or we can institutionalize it by stealing a little something from Don't Rest Your Head. As of yet, it really hasn't come up enough to be an issue.)
>>8969353
It don't matter, he's just getting himself whipped.

(Trade emails? I would hate to miss the next part.)

>>8969440
(I don't think they're going for it.)

>>8969440
Alex here.

>>8969664
>>8969440
(Eh, why not? Hardly use this account anyway.)

Well lads and ladies, with the mission done, I'd best get back to my training. If you need an armored meatshield again, be sure to call.
