I don't feel alright with this. Also, they're praetorians. I always thought they had tea, not wodka.

>>44305694
Hello Quartermaster. Happy Emperors Day. I was hoping that you can fill some requisition orders for me today, nothing too big just some supplies we're in need of.

>Hands him all the proper forms for

Don't forget to ask about the Pit Thing!

>returns to the drawing room, a lifting servitors in tow

Lord Wellesley! When you have a moment.

Just to warn all of you I will have to drop out for 20 minuets or so in a bit. But I'll be back.

>>44305680

>Greely notices the kid has a weapon.

"The Vindicare gave you that? Do you know where he went?"

"Off with some friends for Emperor's Day related things."

"Well, be careful with it, and when you hold it, keep your trigger finger outside of the trigger loop until you need to use it. And you're not going to need to use it. When an Arbitrator passes a sentence, he performs it. So it will be on me."

Lad....I'd say that if you want to live, you and your friends unload -all- your equipment and raise your hands. Do all of that....-slowly-
>Meanwhile several squads of properly equipped Troopers advance on the Rover, including a full squad of 'Heavies' in Carapace, with Hellguns.

Also an old Land Rover, like the 60's-70's type that farmers would stereotypically own.

TERRIBLE timing.

>>44305907
No shit. Terrible timing indeed, oh well. Sucks to be everyone but 32, he can correctly claim innocence.

>>44305895
May I ask what this is about? I'm just here to pick up some supplies for my regiment and i'll be on my way, that's all I need.

>>44305907
Yes I know. But it shouldn't be long just use it as transportation time.

What... what did you even do Lieutenant Jackson?

H-hey, man! This isn't- *hic* this isn't cool! I'll have you know that I work for the vindicare temple. That m-means that I -burp- I vindicate things. Do you know what that means?

>>44305895
*puts down his axe, knives and shield* ... Could you consider the Pit Thing?
>puppy eyes intensify

>>44305919

Elena and Rax aren't necessarily fucked. Greely's pretty level-headed. But Jackson was impersonating an inquisitor.

>>44305937
>>44305940
>>44305942
The Lieutenant, is guilty of Impersonating a servant of the Emperor's most Holy Inquisition.
I'm not sure what you are worried about sir...
>QMG Wallace gestures to 32.
You haven't done anything as far as I know, you weren't mentioned in the report we got.

As for you...
>Wallace looks towards Rax.
I will consider the...Pit Thing....once I find out what a pit thing is.

>>44305969
plus I'm not sure how well the regiment will like being without a navigator anyhow

also, asking for Ruh's player, he keeps getting text captcha's and they won't solve at all, anyone knows what's up with that?

>>44305991
I have never Impersonated an Inquisitor, nor shall I. But fine, I'll play along for now.
>Put's hands up.
All this for some extra suppplies

>>44305991
Thank you! *smiles happily, yet in a slightly creepy way*
the Gibbers is strong with this one

>>44306051
Sometimes captcha is a bitch and the "o" or the "r" is actually a "g", Perhaps is that?

>>44306055
>Wallace looks unconvinced, as a trio of Guardsmen move forward to cuff the group, the one assigned to Elena making no fuss over her mutations, whether out of politeness or genuinely not being bothered is unknown.
>Wallace's phone starts ringing, which he swiftly picks up.
>"Mhm, aye sir, aye sir, okay sir, I'll inform them."
Well, it seems that that'll be up for the Throne Agent to decide, or if he can't resolve it, Inquisitor Wellesley or one of his associates.

>>44306059
Mhm, don't uh...mention it.
G-gibbers? I-is that you?

>Greely begins considering which weapon to use for this grim task that is set before him.

"The Hellpistol won't make much of a mess, but using it at point blank might not do the job. And I abhor senseless cruelty."

"The Shotgun - no. Just no."

>Looks at the Exitus pistol in the kid's hand, and shakes his head.

"Too messy."

"The Munitorium Power Sword I've almost never used..."

>Greely swings it a few times, almost like a bat

"This'll do."

I didn't do anything! I though we were just going to the manor!

>>44306141
>Inquisitor Wellesley.
Remind me to never anger the Wellesley family please, not only are they powerful but they seem to be tied to every organization that holds authority in the imperium.

>>44306151
So what's going on here?

>>44306055
What's the big idea, Jackson? What did you try and get with my signature?

>>44306141
Oooo. Another inqusitior, he'll understand, brilliant.

>>44306236
Eta, is that you?

>>44306192

Calm down, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.

>>44306141
it is I.... I never left. My madness spreads, even if it weakens it survives... With that said, I'll get some sleep, I'll be back in 7-8 hours with Rax and possibly Rogan. Until then, put Rax on hold, maybe to find out what he requisitioned (pit things are Calixis-sector only thing so obscurity in records is expected)

>>44306248
Nope. I am the same anon as Nyzart, by the way.

>>44306192
So, you wouldn't be the Navigator that attempted to threaten a Guard Captain with angering the Navis then?
>Wallace sighs and rests his head in his palm.
Tell you what lass, you give us your word, nay, your -oath- that you won't resist in any way, shape or form, and we'll keep the cuffs off. Deal?

>>44306205
Read All Guardsman Party if you have the time and inclination. Look up everything mentioning the Rupert. Think him, except without the 'offensive' Britishness.....which I personally thought was rather amusing.

>>44306222

Jackson was caught impersonating an Inquisitor, Apparently he had the Navigator, another Guardsman, and the Vindicare with him.

I don't like executing people I know. But it's what the Emperor demands. I don't know about the others, but Jackson is a dead man.

>The young kid in his company nods.

>>44306259

>>44306248
yes. I hit the wrong button, sorry

>>44306266
>actually crying
But what are you actually even going to do with us?!

I thought they weren't giving us a jeep to go to the manor. Yeah, I got angry. I knew I shouldn't have.

>>44306320
With all of you. Nothing.
With me? It depends on how this inqusitior takes it.

>>44306320
Tell us, what did you think the group of you were going with the jeep?
>This question, instead of coming from QMG Wallace, comes from Lord Wellesley himself, who looks displeased, but not as much as he -could- look.
Did you really assume that you were going to be up to legal activities when you were threatening a man -twice- to acquire a Rover?

So... I do believe I am expected to meet up with... er... lord Wellesley now aren't I?

I... it kind of took me by surprise, Alice, I didn't expect you to be this high nobility.

>"I didn't even expect you to be nobility at all, you are actually very humble about it..."

>>44306320
>puts a hand on her shoulder
Stop crying Elena, you don't even know if the accusations are on you as well, it might turn out okay. Just promise the man you'll do as told and you'll be fine.

>looks at Wallace
Is the whole cuffs thing really necessary? I'm penal regiment, so you could say I'm used to it, but she's really not.

>>44306304
Son. Of. A. Bitch. I'm coming with you. I had something to give to Lord Wellesley, but it's gonna wait.

>>44306380
I'm assuming that you're this inqusitior?

>>44306380
I don't know I don't even know why I did it God-Emperor I thought it was the good thing to do I really didn't know I'm sorry I knew I shouldn't why do I even leave my quarters I was just trying to be nice even to the sister why does this happen to me
>keeps sobbing

>>44306383
Mhm, he's up at home, but don't worry, he's a fairly easy going, as long as you don't anger him.
I'm rather proud that he takes the welfare of his men as seriously as he does.

>>44306402
>Wallace looks at the pair and sighs once again.
>He gestures to the men and the release the cuffs on all but Jackson.
Very well, so long as you don't cause trouble.

>>44306427
Actually, I am Lord Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, whose estate you happened to be billeted in and whose Officer you threatened.
The Inquisitor would be my brother.....who I am not sure if I should be bothering with a Hereticus matter.

>>44306404

They're going to be brought to us at the gate. I assume they'll present evidence and I'll have to make the decision. But everything i'm hearing and seeing says guilty.

The kid's here because he wants to be go to the Schola to become a detective. Someday he's going to have to do things like this, so it's important he knows what the job entails.

Speaking of, do you think you could get the sister to sign his recommendation form? I already got myself, Lord Wellesley and his son. Oh, wait, you're a major, right?

>>44306517
Wait...we're still at the Manor? Whoops, I goofed, assumed we jumped to the Depot when we jumped threads.....

>>44306536

I was at the manor, you guys went to the depot

>>44306517
Apparently so. Sis is kinda passed out after we uh... *clicks tongue* So I'd be the one. Well, coming from where I do I prefer to award on merit. Show me what you got, kid, and I'll sign if I'm impressed enough

>>44306479
I... I can't believe I'm going to do this... is it normal to be this nervous when this time arrives? I never cared about how well I made an impression outside a mission, and even then I never got this nervous why am I this nervous? Why am I not using my bodysuit underneath this dress? Why am I asking? Why won't my lips just shut up?

>>44306479
Truly sorry about that. I didn't mean to threaten him, more along the lines of persuade but it's in the past. So should I wait for him or explain this to Greely?

You will all be taken in Valkyrie's back to the Estate. Jackson in his own. You'll be confined to Barracks under heavy guard.

We're at the wellesleys lands at praetoria. They happen to be nobility and at least one member of the family is a confirmed inquisitor, we're pretty much enjoying Emperor's day save for Jackson.

Also that movie rocked Best blockbuster of the year.

Keep trying. Use a weapon more to your speed. What I more have in mind is to stick you into the worst part of the Underhive and see if you make it out alive.

TRAITOR!

Basically Emperor day shenanigans. Alice and Lixie confide in each other, sister Theresia and Gary banged loudly, Ruh and Elena bumped uglies with the sister finally out of the way, Anna got herself shackled to Jackson then left, Jackson who then went on an unorthodox supply run dragging along me, Rax and the navigator. Used a rosette which might or might not be fake

Oh boy, this is a little nicer accommodation than I'm used to, even before the ten millennium in a steel box.

Well, uh, hm. I suppose I'll see what I can do to partake in the rather lavish festivities.

But, did I hear mention of an Inquisitor as I was coming in? Because if so, I ought to avoid him as best I can.

>>44306797

It wasn't invalid, just not accepted. Usually a majors signature gets a jeep. Plus I wasn't allowed in the manor to get a signature. I was the highest ranking officer outside at the time.
And as I said before, I didn't mean to threaten him, it just came off like that.

>>44307418
I mean, I spent the better part of that time alone in a metal box. And by better part I mean around ninety six or ninety seven percent of that. That said, I've had a lot of time to think, so there is that.

>>44307812
Bring guards I just don't want to say this out in the open. Where people shouldn't hear.

>>44307836

Alright. Come on. This had better be damn good.

>Looks at Ruh and Elena, and the guards.

You keep an eye on the kid. make sure he stays out of trouble.

>>44307808
>Of course she follows, if she drops that hand, she breaks into eternal muttering right now.

>>44307866
Alright, I'll keep him right here.

>>44307866
>follows Greely

>>44307836
need to go to sleep mates, you can probably leave Elena and Ruh in the barracks a while

>Leads somewhere away from the commotion and pulls out his dataslate

Alright, out with it.

>>44307866
except Ruh and Elena are stuck in a barrack


>>44307921
ow yeah, sleep. That too yes.

>>44307924
>stands close enough to hear, Greely's protégé next to him

>>44307921
right, see ya later, and it's good to have ya back. Add me on steam at vexilariusxxvii to get into our group

>>44307888
>When Alice exits the Barracks, she spots her father and slowly heads over.
>Alex turns and regards Alice warmly, a jovial expression once more on his face.
>He regards LIX with the same expression, mixed with a bit of confusion.
I do believe that we haven't been introduced Mi'Lady. Lord Alexander Wellesley, at your service.
>Alex bows in the fashion one would expect of one in his position.

>>44307924
Alright. I'm just going to lay it all out. I never impersonated an inquisitior. I am however an inquisitoral agent of inquisitor Wolfram Matthis ordo hereticus. He... he had recently died maybe a month before I came to this regiment. I worked under him for around 6 years and became his close advisor. When he died he instructed me to head to the nearest regiment and join them. He handed me his rosary, his pistol and his data slate. He then had me swear that I'd continue to find herasey and destroy it in his place. An audio of the entire exchange is in the data slate that was confiscated from me. It will validate my story.

>>44307996
>Drops Alice hand to introduce herself with a respectful bow.
D-delta fi-fifty nine, M-mylord.
>"Alright... calm down LIX, make as if this was a play, you're acting, this is another mission, yeah that's right you're making a play, you need to fill into your role, which is... b-being yourself..."
>"This is not helping at all!"
>"Stop Muttering you look like you're stupid."
I-it's a pleasure to finally meet you, sir.

>>44308075
heresy^

>>44308075

Why didn't you mention this when Anna and I were introduced to you?

>>44308162
I was under orders to not reveal myself as part of the inquisition unless there's no other option. And that includes to other members the inquisition.

>>44308093
>Alex offers LIX his hand with a warm smile.
Another Assassin, hm? I wonder which temple....
>The senior Wellesley eyes the pair, along with the recently separated hands.
Hm...

>>44308225

Did he explain his reason for this order?

>>44308281
Not exactly, he didn't have a reason to. We always worked without telling anyone. It just seemed like a natural thing.

>>44308225
JACKSON! WHERE ARE-
Oh, am I interrupting something?

>>44308238
>Kindly accepts the hand for a handshake.
Callidus Temple, Mylord. I've been with the regiment off-service since we took down my assassination target together... Your son and your daughter accepted me as if I was just one more of their men.

>>44308357
Hey, Anna.
> waves an awkward wave because of the cuffs

>>44308339
*raises an eyebrow in suspicion, but says nothing*

>>44308406
... there is something I need to know, right?
Or rather why is there something I do not know?!

>>44308430

You're the psyker, you tell me.

>>44308430
In a second. I need to know if I'm getting shot or not.

>>44308361
Mhm, that does sound like them. You must have impressed them. It seems you impressed one more than the other....
>Alice's cheeks turn bright red while Alex simply chuckles, in a kind manner.

>>44308445
Funny. No really, it is funny, I am laughing my ass off, literally.
Cunt.
>>44308472
Now I don't see why not.

>>44308472
Not yet, at the least. I'm going to have to check out your dataslate and stuff, have the techpriests decrypt it, and if you turn out to be on the level, let Lord Wellesley decide what to do about your other shenanigans.

>>44308488
I'm hilarious.

>>44308487
>Blushing.
I-I admit I kind of... hanged out more with one sibling than the other, s-sir.

>>44308488

Actually, run your story by Anna. Anna, do that voodoo you do so well and see if he's lying.

>>44308536
I could just unlock it for you.
So can I take these cuffs off? They are very uncomfortable, I now see why there used.

>>44308536
Can you at least try and tell me what the fuck is going on? I will let you know I was not dozing off or getting drunk like most of you half assed excuse of a regiment, I was busy doing my job!
>>44308575
Don't call it like that, and I am not a telepath. I work in a different way... oh, whatever, it is not like you could even understand. Jackson, hold up your hands.

>>44308601
>Holds up hands

>>44308541
Mhm, I noticed. Just treat her right and we won't have any problems.
>Alex claps LIX on the shoulder and gestures towards the house.
But, we should be resting instead of discussing this, aye? It's Emperor's Day after all! Plus, our evening meal should be ready soon.

>>44308598

>Undoes jackson's cuffs

>>44308632
>take jackson's hands in hers
Tell your thronedammit story, the sooner the better.

>>44308643
R-right, sir. I'm... grateful for the offer, sir.

>>44308651
Alright, I'll tell you the short version. I served in the guard until 6 years ago inquisition Wolfram, ordo hereticus, brought me in as one of his agents I served as his aid until his death 2 months before I came to this regiment. In his dying breaths he ordered me to continue finding heresy in and eliminating it. He told me to head to the nearest regiment and join them, he also said to not reveal I'm part of the inquisition unless completely necessary.

>>44308702
Well come on then.
>Alex heads off inside, while Alice grasps at LIX's hand and follows after him, flicking her gaze rapidly between LIX and her father.

>>44308787
if it is a lie I would like to know, since Anna is using her divination to scry Jackson's past. Unless you have something that deflects psychic powers.

>>44308789
Y-
>LIX blushes as she squeezes Alice's hand.
>She regains her confidence.
Yes sire.

>>44308838
No it's not a lie.

>>44308895
... it seems to be ok. Ugh. I kinda saw some stuff i would have liked to not know but seems like his past confirms his words.

>>44308924
You're the one who wanted to look into my mind.

>>44308951
I did not look into your MIND, I looked into your PAST. Is it so fucking difficult to understand?

>>44308924

Ok, good. Go with him and check out his dataslate.

>Hands Anna his =][= badge, kinda small and simplistic compared to Verasii's

Use this if anyone gives you any problems. Once we have confirmation, the rest is a Hereticus matter unless Verasii says otherwise

Meanwhile, I have to get this kid home and to his future with the Schola.

>Greely begins walking off with the kid, and stops for a minute.

Oh, Anna, by the way, thanks. And Merry Emperor's Day.

>Is totally serious. Then he and the kid walk off

>>44308982
Oh even better. I didn't know what you were doing. For all I know you just wanted to hold my hands

>>44308789
"Sire sorry to disturb you but there seems to be a package from the inquisition at the door"
>Bows and awaits a response.

Glad that's concluded. I'm hungry.

>>44309017
... I don't know even...
>>44309043
... why would you be so happy with holding my hands!?
Oh come on now. We need to check your dataslate apparently.

>>44309049
>Notagain.archivefile.
>Looks at Alice.
You know what that package's going to be, don't you?

>>44309049
I'm on to you this time Omi.
Mhm, very well, Alice, be a dear and ensure Miss LIX is seated.
>Alice nods and tugs LIX towards the dining area, while Alex gestures for the servant to lead him to the package.
We're fairly certain the 'package' is an Eversor father.
>Alex nods and opens the flap on his Holster.

>>44309074
No reason. But you haven't let go yet. The data slate is in my room. At least I think that's where they put my stuff.

>>44309128
>lets go him quickly
Let's go then, fuck if I am going to waste any more time on this...
... where the hell is your room even, don't make me waste my powers on this too.

>>44309116
>>44309049

This is very unfortunate. Your companion here was not this stubborn, but he really knew nothing.

I don't think he knows nothing at all now. I am still getting used to this, but it is really like doing a surgeon's work with a chainsword. Do you follow what I am trying to say, Interrogator?
