SHIT SON

THAT'S SOME REAL DRAWFAGGOTRY THERE.

CALL UP ALPHARIUS AND PLAY THE LONG GAME
ALSO SCREW WITH THAT CHUCKLEFUCK ROWBOAT

>>8963235

You hook up the communicator he snuck to you, and activate it. After a few moments, his image appears on the screen, looking a little harried. "What can I do for you, Rachnus? How'd things go on Terra?"

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

ANGRY MARINES?

WHEN THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN?!

>>8963354

LAST THREAD YOU CHUCKLEFUCK

>>8963263
Tell him thatr Ghoulyman said his marines can curbstomp the Alphas blindfolded with only their enomous cocks.
OLr something along that line of general petty shit starting

>>8963506

... Really?

>>8963644
Update him on the situation with the Emperor and that we're pretty much free to serve him as we see fit. We want in on his shit.

MORE LIKE THE HORUS BEARESY.

YEAH. YEAH, I WENT THERE.

We update him on the situation.

I vote we build up our chapter in secret, using ONLY nulls. Then from then on, we troll the fuck out of chaos, and do our best to find our Daemon-Prince'd brothers and give them the biggest bearhugs since we popped Horus like a shaken champagne bottle.

>>8963506
>>8963644


Concensus says.... no.


(I'd post a 'proper' responce, but I don't know how we stand with Alph at the moment. I'm still reading the archived stuff.)

>>8963681

Alpharius raises an eyebrow, curious. "So, Dad wants you to go out and do his will... And as part of that, you're going to fight alongside traitors against a loyalist legion?"

>>8963727
"...okay, point taken. I guess I just wanted to see what the fuck you were up to.

"Well, I got my own shit to do. Later, bro."

>>8963719
I like this anon's plan.

>>8963752

He shrugs. "You can come and fuck with Rowboat if you want, I don't mind, I'm just not sure that it's really in keeping with your assignment."

Help Traitors?

NEVER.

"NO, CHUCKLEFUCK. WE ARE GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELVES, BEFORE WE GO AND KILL YOUR SHITTY GODS."

>>8963801

>Obviously didn't read the last thread, where it was pretty obvious that Alpharius is trolling everyone, including his own legion

>>8963825
Wait a minute...

but everyone...

WOULD INCLUDE US!

"ALSO: YOU CAN TROLL WITH ROWBOAT, BUT DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT KILLING HIM. WE HAVE LOST ENOUGH OF US. AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING TORN THE HEAD OFF OF THAT ASSASSIN FUCKER FULGRIM FOR KILLING FERRUS. WE WOULD BE REALLY SORRY IF WE HAD TO DO THIS TO YOU TOO."

>>8963849

Well, yeah. He DID sneak this little piece of hardware aboard our ship with a planted Alpha Legion agent, after all.

>>8963857

He rolls his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, I know, I'm not going to kill him, just give his ass a good pounding, remind him who the real tactical genius in the family is. Fulgrim's all yours, although good luck finding him, last I heard him and his troops were headed to the Eye of Terror to fuck anything and everything with an orifice."

>>8963884
FULGRIM!?

Wait, why do I hate him again? I know he's a fag, but other than-OH, didn't he kill Ferrus or something?

Oh yeah, that fucker's going down.

"GOOD BRO, I KNEW YOU WERE STILL THE SAME. IF FULGRIM TRIES TO FLEE TO THE EYE OF TERROR LIKE THE PUSSY HE IS, WE WILL GO THERE AND KILL EVERY THING GETS BETWEEN US."

We need a drawfag to do a picture of Chaptermaster Fal of the Angry Marines by the way. His dread should be all scarred up from fighting half the Sons of Horus all by himself, with a huge "SHITSUX" written across the front in Horus' blood.

>>8963727

Nah, as much as Rowboat is a douche, I don't feel like fucking him over directly. However, if at some time in the future you need my help executing your doubletraitor plans, give a shout..

Is it me, or does anyone else think we're about to become 'The Lost And The Damned'?

Y'know, those marines with 3+ invuln saves that teleport in, shoot shit up and dissapear without trace?

>>8963952

Also, it was semi-painted in Desert Fangs colors, with the rest being Sky Serpents colors when he got his ass on the battle barge.

>>8963884
Focus on routing out small pockets of traitors for now, prioritizing any of those chucklefucks that think they can control the Warp. Eventually build up back to Legion levels with nulls only and then go ROCK THEIR FUCKING FACES OFF!

>>8963958

He nods. "Fair enough. Same to you - Lemme know if you need help with anything, and I'll see what I can do."

>>8963974

Except we already know their origins.

Pic related: It's Rachnus. Picture him hugging Horus with this face.

By the way Alpharius, do you know any good real estate in the eye of terror? Me and my silencer bros were thinking of grabbing a place for ourselves to dick over Chaos's operations.

>>8964011

He shrugs. "Can't say, never been there, and I've got no intention of going there if I can help it. Wouldn't be a bad base of operations for you though, assuming you can fortify whatever world you take better than Dorn himself."

>>8964003
Weeaboo, I know. But Lordgenome is perfect for Rachnus. Generic brown race, badass beard, hugely muscular, covered in battle scars. If only Gobby had included a scene of his armor getting blased off so he was barechested when he gave Horus the Bearhug of Doom.

>>8963999
I like this proposal. Then and only then are we going to go set up a base actually INSIDE the eye of terror.

>>8963999
Yeah, let's hold off on taking on the big guys and build up our legion of Nulls while cleaning up some of the post-Heresy mess.

Actually it sounds to me like we're building up to being the Scary Marines.

"WELL, BRO, HERE YOU COME. I KNOW YOU KNOW SOME TECHSHITS WHI MAKE NEW THINGS, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED ON OUR GENESEED. WE NEED SOME SHIT THAT DOES THE SAME THING; ONLY IN A WHIDE AREA. OR SOME SHIT THAT AMPLIFIES IS. I DUNNO. FUCK."

>>8964061
>>8964103
>>8963999

So where are you gonna go? Most of the traitors are en route to the Eye, except for Alpharius, who's obviously busy.

You could visit your glassed homeworld, if you want.

>>8964119
BLOW A HOLE IN THE WARP.
AdviceRachnus.jpg
PUT YOUR DICK IN IT.

>>8964119

Alpharius rubs his chin thoughtfully. "I'll probably have to twist some arms, but I'll see what I can do. How do you propose I get it to you?"

>>8964125
I say it wasn't really glassed at all, and that Tlaloc was delayed for some other reason.

Let's go and find out.

>>8964151
I DUNNO, YOU GOT THIS EXTRA-HERETICAL ORB THING TO ME OK, DIDN'T YOU?

>>8964125
A visit would be appropriate.

>>8964161

He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, because I had my most trusted lieutenant planted on your ship when you picked up those Isstvan survivors. He's not THERE anymore."

"IT'S SIMPLE. WHEN YOU HAVE IT READY, YOU CONTACT ME WITH THIS." Pointing at the orb. "THEN, WE MEET IN A PLACE NO ONE WILL VISIT..."
Sigh.
"... MY FUCKING HOMEWORLD THAT FUCKING TLALOC FUCKING BLEW UP."

>>8964223

"Alright, fair enough. Anything else you need to get off your chest before I get back to work?" He askes, grinning.

>>8964253
Nah, I think we're done.

>>8964125
THOSE CHAOS-WORSHIPING CHUCKLEFUCKS AREN'T MAKING AN ORGANIZED RETREAT
I SAY WE SWING AROUND TO ISOLATE A COUPLE OF SMALLER WARBANDS AND FUCK THEIR SHIT OFF UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO PLAY BALL
AND BY PLAY BALL I MEAN WE PUNCH THE HERESY OUT OF THEM AND THEN PUNCH THEM EVEN MORE BECAUSE THEY'RE DAMN DIRTY DOUBLE HERETICS

LET'S GET THIS SPACE JALOPY ROLLING.

>>8964253
"That's all I got for now. Stay classy. Also, try and work a gravyboat into your trolling plans for me. Later."

"YES. IF YOU SEE FUCKING MAGNUS, TELL HIM TO GO HOME, AND FUCKING PUT THINGS RIGHT WITHOUT FLEEING LIKE A PUSSY. IF HE DOES NOT, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE HIM AND BRING HIM BACK. AND YOU KNOW THE HEADACHES WE GIVE HIM."

>>8964300

ROLL 1d7 TO SEE WHO YOU ENGAGE.

1: Sons of Horus
2: Death Guard
3: Word Bearers
4: World Eaters
5: Emperor's Children
6: Night Lords
7: Iron Warriors

rolled 7 = 7

>>8964356
Rollin'

rolled 7 = 7

This, then we go to our planet.

We should remember that right now, we are the blackest of black ops
no witnesses, no survivors. take only our dead, leave only debris

rolled 4 = 4

>>8964356

IT SEEMS WE ARE GOING TO KICK PERTURABO'S FAGS IN THE GROING.

GOOD.

Hey, maybe we can kill his ass too, and save Dorn.

>>8964363
>>8964371

Haha, oh wow.

Well, they were last seen in the Sebastus system.

(tg, i'm going to bed now, it's 6 in the morning here.
I'm sorry i CAN'T BE ANGRY ANYMORE. FUCK. HAVE A FUCKING GOOD FUCKING GAME.)

>>8964426
>Haha oh wow.

...This might not be the best idea.

GO FOR IT ANYWAY.

Just chiming in...

RR is the most awesome Primarch of all time.

And the Null Marines; excellent idea. Bravo TG

we need to get our technomagi working on stealth systems for our flagship
officially, we died on Hourus' flagship so we can't be seen anywhere

See? Scary Marines, full stop.

>>8964517

They'll get to work on it right away.

>>8964435

You CAN go after other Legions, you know. You don't exactly have the manpower to be able to afford feeding your troops into a meatgrinder.

>>8964556
I was one of those who suggested we bide our time.

>>8964556
Visit our homeworld to pay our respects, try and build up our forces, THEN go fuck shit up.

And we do it all while listening to the white stripe's "Seven Nation Army."

... I dunno, it just seemed appropriate.

>>8964594

ALRIGHTY THEN.

You proceed to hop into the warp, en route to your homeworld. Anything important happen aboard your ship during the trip?

>>8964556
I say we scout for stragglers and other small isolated groups, we don't have the manpower to hit any of the main legions yet

also, we should ask alphie if he could get one of those orbs so Fal, contact between the AM and us would be useful

>>8964626

We drop the Gellar fields and kick the Warp's ass when it tries to break into our ship.

>>8964634
Too risky. We don't exist anymore, and I think we should keep it that way.

>>8964649
while we don't technically need a geller field, being nulls, our astropaths might not like the idea, being squishy and non null and all...

I say we avoid going after paltry victories. Even if there is a tiny Iron Warriors fleet we could fuck over, it's much better to hang back until we have more troops and a solid base of operations.

>>8964660

The man has a point - Although the idea of the Angry Marines still being led by their Primarch, even if just from the shadows, for 10,000 years, is pretty badass.

Your guys' call though.

We do pushups. The entire trip.

Make our guns even more ridiculously huge.

>>8964626

Let's start up a breeding program for Spiders. We only got the ones on our ships now. Need to keep 'em alive, both for combat and as a memory of our homeworld.

>>8964714
I second this.

Bring Fire Strider his choice of fine spider wenches.

>>8964714

SANDLEG BREEDING PROGRAM INITIATED.

Fire Strider is still chilling in your quarters, incidentally. You can augment him if you want.

>>8964729
And hope that the sandlegs arn't one of those spider species where the females eat the males. Actually do we know fire strider is male?

>>8964751
>>8964740
Nvm I guess we do

>>8964751

Yes, you do.

SO

YOU BREED SANDLEGS ON THE WAY BACK TO YOUR HOMEWORLD.

ANYTHING ELSE?

>>8964825
Sounds good to me.

>>8964825
The pushups thing.

At some point (maybe not now), we need to take on new Desert Fang recruits.

>>8964854

ALRIGHT, YOU WORK ON YOUR UPPER BODY STRENGTH.

ANYTHING ELSE, OR SHALL WE TIMESKIP?

>>8964703
>>8964660
Fal knows about our orders and Alphie says that the com device can't be traced, recorded or intercepted.

plus we could use the angry marines resources and manpower to hit bigger targets than we could on our own

we should still use it sparely though, Fal might be labelled a traitor if anyone found out about it

>>8964872
GOGO GADGET TIMESKIP!

Timeskip powers activate

>>8964885

VERY WELL.

A year or so later, you finally emerge from the warp in orbit over your homeworld. It's a dead rock, floating in space. From orbit, you can see the volcano on which you were raised.

>>8964934
Manly tears. Chaos will pay for all this bullshit.

With the breeding program under way, we should scout out for new recruits. Any underdeveloped worlds nearby that nobody would notice people disappearing on?

>>8964934
I feel we should put down some sort of monument...
can't think of anything fitting though

>>8964934
SHED A SINGLE MANLY TEAR.

RAGE AT THE WARP FOR A BIT.

SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WORTH SALVAGING, EITHER TO USE, OR AS A MEMENTO.

>>8964981

Your battle barge has ample resources for most any monument you might want to create.

>>8964991

Do you want to make planetfall to look for things?

>>8964934
Land on homeworld, give a rousing speech to your men and make with some penance or something.

Also, get some Astropaths and have them keep an ear out for distress calls. If Chaos is anywhere nearby you need to be ready to beat the hell out of those chucklefucks.

Burn the dates of the day your world was killed and the day Horus died onto the surface. Beneath, write in letters a hundred miles wide:

"NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET."

>>8965024
Yeah, before we do the burny thing, land at our hometown and make a speech to the effect of "THIS IS WHY CHAOS CAN NEVER BE ALLOWED TO WIN" etc.

Then the space-lazorin'

angry marines cannot be arabs...

persians perhaps, but not arabs

>>8965074

You're more african than arab, but I digress.

Make planetfall y/n?

>>8965085
Yes.

>>8965085
Y.

We might find something uber cool.


After that, space lasers, and then to a hidden world where we may rebuild our legion to full strength.

>>8965034
hmm... didn't we forgive Tlaloc though?
How about
"Here lies the silent dead, killed by their brothers' hands, by the treachery of Horus"

>>8965108

Alright. Taking anyone with you, or is this a solo mission?

>>8965127
I'd guess any of the people from the planet and anyone else who wants to come

>>8965085

I thought he looks Indian?

>>8965127
Any remaining childhood buds. And our most loyal Silencers, in case of chaos dickery.

Take a nice sized contingent with us. Anything useful, we might be able to juryrig and add to our ship.

>>8965148

Fuck, you're brown and bald, your features could be from any race you want, I don't care.

>>8965152

Caustan, the last of your childhood friends still under your command, steps up. "I'll accompany you, sir."

I say when we end up in the Warp we slowly become the Scary Marines.
Because fuck yeah.

We need to make a memorial, but nothing big. Something small, and seemingly insignificant to anyone not in the know.

>>8965186
It's LOOKING more and more like that, but we already spawned the Angry Marines, so this would end up TOO convenient.

>>8965189

Anything in mind?

No idea.

Carve your tribe's shan into the wall of a cave.

>>8965277
>Carve your tribe's shan into the surface of the planet.

>>8965277

And then seal off the cave to hide it.

You can Caustan suit up, and take a Thunderhawk down to the planet's surface. Upon landing, the rear hatch opens, exposing you to the lifeless world that was once your home. Good thing you brought extra air.

A spider carving like Nazca would be nice.

>>8965305
I second this.

Carve it deep so it won't erode for millions of years.

>>8965320
>>8965305
Yep

>>8965397
>>8965320
>>8965305

That's great guys, but you're on the surface right now, so you may want to save the laser-carving for when you're back in orbit.

>>8965428
OBVO

rolled 68 = 68

I vote we get back in orbit then, after first searching for shinies.

Rollin', to see if we find anything good.

>>8965428
derp.
Try again dude.

>>8965465

You and Caustan eventually make your way to the peak of the volcano on which you were both raised... There's no sign of the village anymore. But the Pit seems to still be there...

rolled 52 = 52

Sweet. Search for that giant spider thing we killed.

If we get it's corpse we can use it's genes to beef up our spiders even more.

>>8965490
let's jump down and look around then

>>8965505

Yeah, it's long gone.

>>8965511

Descending into the pit, you find the hole that the spider you faced all those years ago was released from. You never did get a chance to see what was down there...

>>8965564
Let's check it out.

>>8965578

As you descend into the hole, with Caustan right behind you, you instantly see that you're just at the tip of a massive cave system, stretching perhaps miles into the planet's crust.

rolled 54 = 54

>>8965564
Is it Chaos? I bet it's Chaos.

Go for it.

>>8965601
Convenient base material type caves, or TERRIBLE EVILS cave?

>>8965601
Oh, HELL YES.

This warrants investigation. Let's get some marines down here.

>>8965622
If we're lucky, both.

Maybe our people hid down here, eating the giant sandlegs to survive, just waiting for us to turn them into badass Astartes.

>>8965622

Hard to tell, but there doesn't seem to be anything living down here.

>>8965627

You order 100 of your Silencers to come land planetside, as close to the mountain as possible. They'll arrive in approximately 30 minutes.

>>8965665
keep exploring, leave markers at crossroads to keep from getting lost

rolled 9 = 9

Rolling for our emotions at this find.

UH, HOW ABOUT WE WAIT UNTIL OUR BACKUP GETS HERE

>>8965687

You go deeper, and after a few miles, come to a point where the cavern narrows. A ceramite door, almost totally obscured by fire damage and roughly the size of a Rhino, seals the passageway.

>>8965665
Wait until the others arrive, THEN investigate.

>DEEP CAVE, PREVIOUSLY UNNOTICED UNTIL PLANET CHANGING EVENT

OH GOD OUR HOMEWORLD IS A TOMB WORLD!

Knock politely.

rolled 66 = 66

>>8965741
Vox this find to the silencers coming to support us. See if we can scan anything through the door.

>>8965741
YEAH, LET'S WAIT TO OPEN THAT UP UNTIL WE GET SOME MORE DOODS

>>8965758
Well fuck.

>>8965763

It's too thick, you can't detect anything past it.

However, looking around the cavern, you realize that this whole place shows signs of heavy fire damage.

>>8965758
>home world is a tomb world
>we're all nulls
>everything to this point was planned by the Deceiver in order to bring us to him to be transformed into a new Necron army.

Goddamn it.

rolled 25 = 25

>>8965785
What kind of fire? We talking lasguns, bolters... or gauss weapons?

>>8965802
If he got a fucking PRIMARCH on his side, everyone would have died already.

>>8965805
Gauss weapons tear things apart on a molecular level, but they don't really "burn" per se. I don't think this is Necrons.

rolled 31 = 31

>>8965802
Yeah, fuck. Change of plans. We high tail it out of there and have someone else open the door. If Necrons, nuke it from orbit. Hard.

>>8965802

I love the conspiracy theories you guys throw out and the connections that you make.

You're wrong most of the time, but god DAMN is it great all the same.

>>8965805

None of the above. Fire like, FLAMES OF FUCK fire.

>>8965837
Hey, we're a Primarch.
We can handle a few hundred points of necrons.

>>8965858
Sounds like plasma weapons...

Alright, pry this bastard open.

IT'S A HIDDEN SISTER OF SILENCE COVENT TIME TO MAKE NULL BABY GUYS

>>8965858
POP OPEN THAT SON OF A BITCH

WE'RE PRIMARCH RACHNUS RAGEOUS, WE'LL FUCK WHATEVER'S BACK THERE UP THE ASS

GOD DAMN IT, QUIT STALLING

WAIT UNTIL OUR 100 REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE AND THEN GET THE DOOR OPEN

FUCK

damn... if Fal was here we could just have him RIP AND TEAR this fucker open... try to find some sort of mechanism to open the door, try to force the door open, try to blow the door up, in that order

>>8965858
If we haven't knocked yet do so. If no one answers, get a signal out, possibly by returning to the entrance. Once we've got some backup and some cutting/mining equipment, open the door.

>>8965889

FAIR ENOUGH.

After an hour or two, you can hear the sounds of power-armored feet coming from the way you came, and soon you can make out the requested reinforcements, complete with demolition gear.

>>8965910
TRY TO OPEN IT PEACEFULLY BEFORE GETTING INTO THE EXTREME SPORTS SHIT

>>8965919
>>8965899

Knocking on the door, there's no response. After a few more attempts, you shrug, and try to pry it open. Surprisingly, before long you're able to get it moving, and slide it aside. Behind it is... Another door, this one made of some unfamiliar material, and inscribed with strange runes.

>>8965959
Get someone smart to look at those runes.

>>8965959
Look for a handle. Or a rune of opening, something.

If we can't get it open easily, blow it up.

>>8965959
TOLD YOU IT WAS NECRONS!

>>8965967
Also make note to have someone smart whose job is to get smarter and be on hand if we need someone smart

>>8965959
I'm sure our silencers are tactically competent, but just in case make sure they're in good firing positions to cover us and some covering the rear.

>>8965967

Lucky for you, Caustan is pretty brainy.

He steps forward, examining the door and the runes inscribed upon it. After looking at it for a while, he turns to you and shrugs. "Never seen anything like this before - It's old, but that's all I can tell you, sir."

Do we know anything about Necrons? If so, how much?

WELL LETS GET THAT DOOR OPEN

>>8966011
We know nothing about Necrons, they aren't set to wake up for a long time.

So guys, potential recruitment strategies. We can't very well reveal our existence to anyone, so having the standard "draw recruits from a single world" bit is right out. Also, we'll need a source of astropaths and what have you, as ours die off, meaning that we'll need to recruit psykers from somewhere. To make matters worse, at some point we're almost certainly going to need to repair our ship and/or expand to another battle barge or three.

How are we going to turn our situation into one that's feasible in the long term?

>>8966021
UNTIL WE SPEED UP THE PROCESS, LOL

Open the door.

>>8966006
Let's take a peak.

If it's inhabited by skeletal robots from times unknown, we back off and keep an eye out for more of this shit.

>>8966039

How do you intend to do that? It's more akin to a slab of metal than something you can actually open.

>>8966038
Set up a secret base of operations somewhere, and kidnap promising nulls and astropaths? We could become the Scary Marines.

>>8966066
Bring down the appropriate gear, then spend however long is needed (up to a few days, I guess) blasting the thing open. Or cutting it open with plasma torches, whatever.

>>8966066
APPLY MELTA

>>8966066
Lol, I dunno. I'm not a primarch who's descended from the smartest dude ever.

Find STC buy off mechanicus help to construct a shipyard able to travel with us?

Yes. blast our way into the Necron tomb.

That will certainly not wake them up at all. Nope. Perfectly safe.

>>8966038
if we decide to get Fal an orb we could arrange for him to "lose" a few ships and astropaths every now and then...

otherwise; looting space hulks, covertly scouting planets, kicking chaos ass and taking their stuff...

>>8966069
That would require having an extensive network of informants. Either making our own, or possibly getting someone else's to feed us data. And not Alpharius, we're not making all our damn recruits Alpha Legion plants, however damned absurdly good he is at this sort of thing.

>>8966092
>>8966087

After several days of blasting at this thing, you don't seem to be making any real progress... Although the runes do change ocassionally.

>>8966126
Get Caustus to try and translate this shit. After several days he should have some leeway.

>>8966126
Try talking at it.

FUCK PUNCH THE DAMN THING

>>8966126
YELL THE ELVISH WORD FOR FRIEND AT IT

>>8966122
>we're not making all our damn recruits Alpha Legion plants
>implying we have a choice
:awesome:

>>8966138
With no frame of reference? it would be guessing. Lets wait for Alpharius and see what he makes of it.

rolled 12 = 12

>>8966150
I'M A FAGGOT AND FORGOT TO ADD DICE

>>8966126
try blasting around it...

so there was this funny story back from WW2. After Germany fell an american demolitions team attempted to breach a store room that they knew was full of stolen treasure.
they spent 2 days and almost all their exploses to breach the door.
then some chuckle fuck used a grenade on the wall next to the door and it blew open a hole.

...
IN OTHER WORDS USE DEMO PACKS ON THE FUCKING WALLS TO BYPASS THE DOOR.

Speak "Friend" and enter.

PUNCHING IT WITH A 12 SHOULD ALLOW US TO MIRACULOUSLY OPEN THAT THING RIGHT

rolled 78 = 78

>>8966126
NOTICE PATTERNS IN THE CHANGING WORDS

>>8966172

Your fist hurts, and trying to blast around the door doesn't seem to be working. Your sensors are picking up movement on the other side, however...

>>8966214
gha, set up defensive positions.
and defensive positions to cover those defensive positions.

Man, fuck this stupid door.

Go back to the Litany of Litany's Litany and fuck off to kick Chaos' balls.

>>8966214
Picking up movement on the other side? Then they should be able to tell us how thick this thing is, right?

>>8966214
oh shi-

You know. we could.... Dig around it. or see if it is open in a different part. we do have fucking spider-mechs.

>>8966214
ASK IF ANYONE IN OUR GROUP HAS ANY IDEA

>>8966214
back off and be polite. Say "Hope we didn't wake anyone knocking"

As you try to figure out what to do, the noise on the other side stops. Then you notice the runes on the slab starting to glow. Then something emerges right from the solid metal - A small, mechanical beetle-esque thing.

rolled 53 = 53

THAT IS A FUCKING SCARAB AND THESE ARE FUCKING NECRONS.

GTFO. NOW.

Rollin' to run the fuck away.

Congratulations, you've gotten us all killed.

This is why we are an unknown chapter. We got raped by Necrons.

>>8966283

welllll
since we don't know anything in character...
wait for it to do something

>>8966283
Fucknuggets.

Smash beetle. Retreat to cave entrance.

rolled 60 = 60

Seriously. Rachnus now displays his never-before-seen, extreme phobia of beetles and runs. away. now.

>>8966304
technically we ought to do this

Guys, let's capture this Scarab, and then maybe we can use it to reverse-engineer some aspects of Necron Tech!

Like, say, their ANTI-WARP PYLONS.

>>8966283
SPIDERS

EAT

BEETLES

CRUSH IT BENEATH YOUR MIGHTY BOOT

DAMN YEAH IT'S TIME TO STEAL A NECRON SHIP FASTER THAN LIGHT AND NO NEED FOR A NAVIGATOR PLUS THAT THINGS REPAIR ITSELF AND WILL BE ALL BUT UNDETECTABLE BECAUSE WE ARE NULL THIS PLAN CAN'T FAIL AND WE'LL CONQUER THE EYE OF TERROR

rolled 81 = 81

LIKE FUCK.

WE ARE NULLS. THAT MEANS WE'D MAKE BADASS PARIAHS, AND THE IMPERIUM DOES NOT NEED THAT SHIT.

IT'S A BUG

WE LIKE BUGS

FOR OUR NEXT TRICK WE WILL STUMBLE ACROSS A TYRANID SPLINTER FLEET AND THINK IT'S ADORABLY SPIDER-ISH

So, what's it gonna be? Smash and run? Steal and run? Stay and wait for it to do something?

>>8966375
Snatch it, run away.

rolled 46 = 46

EAT IT. MAKE IT PART OF OURSELF. DOMINATE IT FROM WITHIN.

>>8966375
It's tiny and non-threatening, we've got a hundred or so silencers w/ demolition equipment and we're a god damned Primarch. Wait for it to make a move.

>>8966375
this shit could go down for miles, and we've got no clue what it is. take the beetle and have our admech guys check it out. make with the space lazorin and note this place down for when we have more marines to work with

You fags just woke up a tomb world.

>>8966375
snatch it, send it out to be transported to the ship
we should study it...

>>8966396
>>8966383

You grab it, slam it into a containment field, and book it back to the surface. Within an hour, you're back in orbit aboard your battle barge, that bizarre little piece of Xeno-tech kept in the highest-profile containment you can manage.

>>8966439
See what Fireleg thinks of it.

>>8966446

He refuses to go near the place where it's kept.

rolled 77 = 77

>>8966439
Observe from orbit for now. If anything moves on the surface, kill it with the fire of a million vortex torpedoes.

When either that happens or you finish breeding spiders/stealing necrotech, still leave a guy to watch and make sure no skeletal robots pop out or something.

>>8966457
Contact Alph, let our tech guys poke at it.

>>8966457
usually a bad sign...
contact alphie, maybe he knows something about these things

Scan planet for energy sources, if they're powering shit up we gotta be ready.

>>8966457
interesting. try having some other sandlegs get near it. then get it to the admech to study it. if they refuse to use it for integration pull our emprah/omnisiah said it was cool for us to do WHATEVER we think is right/proper to help humanity... and put you under our command

>>8966464
How about we don't leave a lone null marine to get kidnapped, pariah-fied, and come back to lead his necron masters to us?

>>8966482
Alphs busy... lets not be a nuisance just because we can

>wake up a tomb world
>grab one of it's workers and bring it on the ship
>Don't bother trying to see if it's sending back information like visual data and location

Goddamn /tg/ you guys would die so damn fast if you ever were in a dangerous situation.

>>8966464

So you're going to remain in orbit above the planet for -how- long?

>>8966473

You bring up Alpharius, and from the hologram, you can see that he's not in his Power Armor, instead wearing a simple robe. "What is it, Rachnus?" He asks, a hint of irritation in his voice, but his face looking neutral.

rolled 21 = 21

>>8966492
I'm not saying we leave him on the SURFACE, hell no.

I'd just like to KNOW when those fuckers show up. They're like, our kryptonite.

>>8966514
DUDE LOOK AT THIS FUCKING BUG THING

LOOK AT IT HOLY SHIT

>>8966509
That's what we got you for!

Incidentally, as a newcomer to this quest thread, can anyone explain the significance of 'Gravyboat' to Alpharius/Rachnus?

>>8966514
I was against telling Alphy, but whatever.

"Hey bro. I found this wicked metal bug thing. Can we have like, some of those heretek guys make guns and ships out of it?"

>>8966514
We talk to Alpharius kind of a lot, but considering that we're under orders to drop off the map, it's kind of tough to do otherwise. Did we ask him for another communication doohickey or three so that we have other people to bother yet?

>>8966531
During the meeting/feast of the primarchs, we pitched a gravy boat at Roboute's head before having an eating contest with Russ.

enough time to draw a spider that is planetwide.

>>8966548
aaaaaaalphie we're loooooonely

But yeah, since we're doing the Shadowy Defender of the Imperium thing we can't keep being BFFs with a professional troll at best forever.

>>8966514
see I fucking told you fuckers not to call him again!!!
>>8966482
>>8966473
If we keep this shit up he really WILL go heretic just to beat our annoying asses down!!! And he's got the manpower to do it!!!!

>>8966542

His eyes widen as he sees it. "Where the hell did you find that thing, Rachnus?! Is it still functioning?!"

>>8966548

No, you have not requested more of the little hemisphere things.

>>8966584
popped through a hidden door behind another door in a cave on my homeworld.
Wierd huh?

>>8966584
Ask for some. And poke the bug through the field with a pencil to make it run around and hiss, to show that it is indeed a metal bug and not an elaborate sculpture we made for no reason.

>>8966600
this. and drop a "yes" in there. and since he seems to know what it is ask him... 'cuz we're fukkin stumped

>>8966584
"Where do you think."

And ask for one for Fal.

HURR DURRR ULTRA META MARY SUE PRIMARCH QUEST.

Really /tg/?

>>8966600

"You need to shut that thing down. NOW. You hear me? I've seen things that look similar to that, and every time I see those little fuckers, something bad happens."

>>8966584
"My homeworld. Long story short, we were checking out a tunnel and found what seemed to be some sort of door or wall. It was covered in runes that none of us could recognize. Fire Strider doesn't like it one bit. You come across anything like this before?"

>>8966635
"Thanks for the tip. Will stomping it flat work fine or do we need to pull some kinda fancy tech-voodoo on it?"

>>8966635
Well, let's take his word for it. Apply melta.

>>8966635
"No way! It's MY metal bug! If you insist, I'll give it a thorough stomping after I strip anything useful from it and maybe stuff it in Rowboat's pants. Besides, I think it's kind of cute."

>>8966655

"Jettison it, or toss it in your ship's engines. Honestly, just do whatever it takes to get rid of it."

>>8966674
"Aw, come on man. It'd be priceless!"

"Hey rowboat, who put a bug in your butt? Oh right, IT WAS ME!"

>>8966635
Alphs has never steered us wrong before. use our PRIMARCH POWERS to break it down into its constituent parts and give it to our admech guys

>>8966674
DESTROY IT THEN, HOWEVER SEEMS MOST EFFECTIVE

"So what was this thing?" And get another damn transmitter for Fal.

>>8966674
Immediately order it's destruction. If our weapons don't do the trick, fling it into the sun.

>>8966694
No dice. It's necrotech.

Every part is animated and hates all that lives.

>>8966699

He shrugs. "Honestly, I don't know what they are or where they came from, but I've seen them in some pretty obscure spots, and they ALWAYS bring bad luck with them."

When you mention wanting the little hemisphere things, he smiles. "How many people are you trying to keep in contact with?"

>>8966514
hey, bro!
don't mean to be annoying, just found some weird shit under the surface of a planet
*describe the door and beetle*
thought I'd ask you if you'd ever heard about anything like this before

oh.. and I'm toying with the idea of asking you for an other set of these orbs, to be able to contact Fal with, if I need it. any thoughts on the matter?

>>8966710
grrr. good point. I'm rusty (lol) on my 'cron fluff lore. maybe take a slice on its back before tossing it into our engines exhaust ports then?

>>8966734
WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS THING ON MY HOMEWORLD?

>>8966734
just Fal really. we figured it may be nice to be able to call on the rest of our Legion if we really need to drop the hammer on something.

>>8966734
"Just one other person."

Don't tell Alph that we want to give it to Fal. Keep it discreet. And make sure WE get it first. Then we can check it out and make sure, hopefully, that there isn't some bug in there so he can't intercept our private calls.

>>8966788

"Alright, I'll see about getting you a transmitter orb to split with him. Keep your eyes out for a ship with Sky Serpents colors, that'll be the delivery."

>>8966734
Not a lot. There are basically three authorized to know that I'm alive- my Legion, Rogal Dorn, and the Custodes. Keeping in touch with them is kind of important. If you don't want any of those three seeing your tech, I hear you, but thought I'd bring it up.

>>8966827
Tell him we'll be going to ground for a few centuries at least, building our legion.

If we can agree to that anyway.

With all the other /tg/ warhammer refferences I bet we just missed our chance to recruit Xeno from Tau quest

>>8966893

He nods, and the screen blanks out. After disposing of the scarab (How do you want to do that?), you spend a few hours carving the symbol of your Legion into the surface of the planet, before heading off into the galaxy to build up your strength (Leaving behind a small number of marines to monitor your homeworld, of course).

>>8966911
They're still tribalistic dirt-farmers...

>>8966948
Chuck the scarab into the star. That ought to work.

>>8966948
slice off a chunk to hold on to (the ass end or something) then dump it in a plasma reactor

>>8966893
I agree with this. Someplace secluded and quiet. Build up our null forces.

>>8966948
Let the cog-boys figure out anything interesting they can about it, with marines keeping close watch. Then toss it into the ship's reactor. I don't trust throwing it into a star. C'tan don't you know. Plus, the reactor is convenient.

>>8966948
Don't take any chances. Shoot it into the nearest star.

>>8966988
No

>>8967003

Following Alpharius' advice, you eject the little fucker into the nearest star, no questions asked.

AND THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S SESSION. Expect tomorrow's to take place a good deal farther into the future.

>>8967046
How far are you planning on continuing this?

I'd like to request the occasional PLOT ADVANCING WALLS OF TEXT when people start being douchefags about what to do.

>>8967055

Eh, next session will most likely be the conclusion. Be prepared to see some familiar faces.

>>8966999
>>8966988
these, but have most of our admech people devoted to getting us stealth shit for our ships
then go fleet based null grabbing. use teleportation if at all possible to reduce others seeing us
