Men, we've got orders to eliminate a Tau Base located in the desert regions of Gospyria. The Prisoners we've, ahem, 'questioned' say that the hostiles guarding this Base are the best they have in this Sub-Sector, so make sure to take whatever you need from our bosses Armoury. Dropping in thirty minutes. Dismissed.
>Is cleaning the neural shredder.
So... The best are often led by the best. Do we know anything of the Xeno chain of command?
>Walks into the preparation room followed by Saharduin
>The Eversor seems to have a new beige with hints of pale pink body glove.
>He and Saharduin stroll over to the war desk and start throwing sand from the tactical model at each other.
>>44038868
At the moment we're not certain, the Prisoners aren't being that talkative with us, but we, and by we I mean the spooks our Ordo Xenos masters sent out, are fairly certain that the opposing Commander is the second of the late Shas'O'Feir, the Commander who led the assault on our staging ground last week.
Which means we might be in trouble.
*yawns*
I'm glad to hear we're going back down, good thing Gospirya was spared the Exterminatus.
*holsters stub pistol he found in the armory, slings flamer, loiters near the Valkyrie*
>>44038904fairly confident that*
>>44038916
I thought you'd love see all those Xenos burn in holy promethium?
>>44038904
*yawns even louder*
He was a pussy. His second in command will be even easier to get rid of. I wouldn't worry.
>>44038883
>Wisely, and politely, decides to ignore the thrown sand, instead focusing on reconnaissance reports
>>44038928
Yeah. I wanna do it myself, and still be able to enjoy the climate of this world. Neither can be done if there's an Exterminatus
>>44038935
Hmph as far as I recall, the Tau commander was easily manipulated by the heretics, but his forces gave you some trouble... did he reveal any valuable data we could use against them in his last battle?
>>44038958
Unfortunately not ma'am, he seemed certain that we and the Heretics were one and the same. Most troubling.
>>44038958
His forces? I blew their base and half of them from here to kingdom come! But nah, he didn't say much except the Tau's usual collectivist whining.
>Sand throwing intensives
>Rocks are now involved and a scale model of the tau base
>>44038967
Indeed. But that gives us an advantadge: It means they're naive about the differences between mankind. They possibly know nothing about assassins, kriegers, space marines, possibly even catachans. We can use this to our profit.
>>44038979
Do not underestimate your enemy, one wouldn't think us capable of killing a Sorceror as he was mutating, but we done it just fine.
>>44038997
Alright that's enough you two, someone made a hard work to make all those tactical maping 28mm models and buildings, treat them with some care.
>>44038999
Well the commander recognized me for what I am, so at least their brass knows.
>>44038999
Very true ma'am, but the fact they don't know of the difference means that they will potentially send forces at us that could potentially weaken the Heretics, along with themselves.
>>44039018obvious refference is obvious(?)
>>44039033The Praetorians painted themselves by hand. They were immaculate. They even hand sculpted the faces.
>>44039023
>Throws a scale model of the inquistors ship at head
>>44039057
*laughs at Omikron's antics*
>>44039057
>The model bounces harmlessly off Arthur's Helmet.
Will you STOP THAT!
>>44039023
I doubt the Tau will send their forces blindly, not after the fiasco of their last attack. No, they'll send scouts and infiltrators first, we hit them too hard last time, they weren't expecting an infiltration. They will have learnt from their errors. We should be wary, I've heard of battlesuits able to cloak at plain sight.
The heat of the desert won't help either, most of the penal regiment is either used to 'normal' or 'extreme cold' conditions. We'll have to refill our water supplies before dropping down.
*Wanders into the briefing room and burbles at people in a good natured manner*
>>44039057
>Crosses arms and gives a stern look at the Eversor and the Saharduin.
Do you want me to come there and force you into stasis?
>>44039109
>Pick's up a 1/1 scale tech priest and looks at Delta>>44039112
>>44039079
You're right, we'll need to send some Recon Troops down in advance with some lighter vehicles. We've...'liberated' some 'Jeeps' that we're going to modify for desert conditions, along with some heavier weapons. Lieutenant Wellsley will be able to lead the Group, but I'd rather have you going down with them, your experience is invaluable, if you accept that is?
So, uh.
I kind of messed up, didn't I?
>>44039116
Don't do it. I swear I'll fill your suit with so many sedatives you will miss the next battle.
Goddamnit I keep forgetting that it's Wellesley, not Wellsley. I have brought shame to the Crown.
>Goes over the top.
>>44039128
You did? What happened to you ma'am?Arthur wasn't down on the lower levels mind. Also I assume she has her robotic arm now da?
>>44039123
I'm willing to serve the imperium in any way, Captain, I'll go, but don't expect me to lead the liutenant's men, I'll just give advice when needed and do my job, a job that mostly requires me to detach from the main force from time to time.
>>44039131
>>44039109
>put's the 1/1 scale tech priest back on the top with the other models that aren't broken
>>44039128
Whadya mean, sis? Have a drink.
>>44039116
>>44039154
*Burbles as he ducks out of the way of the grab, mechadendrites waving unhappily*.
>>44039154
>Gives a kind smile.
See? You can look like a grown-up when you want to.
>>44039148
Don't worry ma'am, the Lieutenant will be capable of leading the Group, I just wish you down there as you're the most experienced of the group, also potentially the most lethal. The 'LRDG' will need all the firepower it can get.
>>44039147
>Lifts her new prosthetic arm
>>44039156
Do you even know how much a plasma gun is worth? The AdMech will want my head.
Sorry, the AdMech TOO will want my head.
>>44039176
>Nods.
>>44039176
>>44039189
>The Eversor and Saharduin sneak off
>>44039183
Oh a plasma gun blew up on ya? Well shit, ain't your fault, they've had a few thousand years to address that problem.
>>44039183
Ouch, what happene- Oh, a weapon detonation. I see. The rest of you is okay right?
>>44039189
>Nods in return.
Perhaps if it would be agreeable you could 'morph' yourself to be wearing one of our desert uniforms? Nothing wrong with your usual appearance, but if they don't know about Assassins we shouldn't inform them eh?
>>44039202
Whatever...
>slumps down
You know you are bad at your job when you can't even "die for the emperor" right.
>>44039214
I was thinking about penitent engines, it can't be THAT bad after all, aight?
>>44039176
Qui mori pro salute vestra hospitii tibi!here comes my new character. Sorry for the (probably) bad Latin, I know about two words of it myself
>>44039214
I agree. By the way try to capture at least one of them alive... I have a plan to learn some info about the enemy...
>>44039220
I'll have none of that talk in this Company. If the Emperor required your sacrifice then you would not live to exude such pessimism. You will die when required, as will we all, until then enjoy life, 'tis for the living.
>>44039220
Our line of work, we WILL die for the Emperor at some point, don't you worry. Better to die with your weapon jammed down a Carnifex's throat rather than from a faulty plasma.
>>44039240
>Nods towards Rax.
Quite right man, quite right, make sure you grab some extra equipment from the armoury before the drop.It's cool brah
>>44039241
You should have more luck with that than the rest of the group ma'am, the LRDG will be going behind the Tau lines.
>>44039254
>>44039242
>blinks
I mean, right, aren't you? Dying for the emperor, yeah, this is what we are all about.
No reason to be afraid of it, none at all.
I may as well take an eviscerator from the rack.
>>44039240On one hand it is awful latin. On the other I spent 6 years on it and don't see any reason to learn how to write in it so who cares.
On the third I'm sorry about my bad roleplaying and my english so who cares about bad latin.
>>44039286
Tell me Sister Amelia, why exactly are you so pessimistic? Something obviously happened that's got you this way. But what?Bad English? You wot m9? You be lyin to me m8ty. I ought to smack you right in the gubba.
Seriously though your English is on point.
>>44039283
Excellent. I think I could find a way to draw the information out of a captive soldier if I disguise myself as another captive Xeno.
>>44039283
Aye, milord. May I ask if I can keep my armor? I made it myself. *points at mismatch suit of hides*
>>44039320
You know that I am technically part of the inquisition, right? ...In some way, more or less. So I don't think you have the rights to ask... oh who I am lying to?
I simply won't answer, anyway.so I only fail at rping? Cool.
>>44039322
Indeed, Alice and the rest of her Group will have the right uniforms on, just 'change into' one of them when she arrives. I'd say lose the ponytail for a helmet too, in case it draws attention, but it's not essential.
>>44039339
Certainly, although I would ask that you grab yourself a Hotshot and some extra grenades before we drop.
>>44039353
[A-Are you me?! I'm always of the opinion that my RP is derp. But no you don't do that either.
Not gonna say have some confidence because the amount of hypocrisy would have me whisked away to work in Government.
>>44039372Aaaaand then I screwed up the spoiler. GG NO RE.
>>44039372
*Wanders around and examines several of the weapons and prosthetics in the room*.
>>44039356
*Looks confused* Erm... Aye, milord. Whatever you command.
>>44039356
>Disguises as a sergeant with a desert uniform.
I just hope we don't jump headfirst into a trap.
>>44039356
... how's Alice? I have been kind of passed out for a while after, you know. Losing an arm. Ehm. Out of sheer stupidity. Did she make it out alive?
>>44039376
*hands out nuts and bolts salad sample*
Sample?
>>44039387
uh.. Gimp Lady? Where can i get one of those shiny new uniforms?
>>44039391
*Burbles and takes one of the bolts before slotting it somewhere into his robes*.
>>44039391
*Pokes inquisitively at Aug legs to check how they're working*.
>>44039376
Good to see you mate, you get any good tech to experiment with when we were groundside?
>>44039387
We may be that unlucky. Xenos or not, the Tau -are- skilled combatants. These are no exception.
>>44039390
Alice is....fine, seemed distressed about something, but lately that's been usual. If she wants to talk about it she will.
>shrugs as if the behaviour wasn't that abnormal
>>44039396
>Raises eyebrow.
Weren't you given a desert cammo uniform when reassigned?
>sniggering echos round the cabin
.....They're up to something
>>44039409
I may have had her more worried than necessary. I can be difficult when at... "peak fighting conditions", I think.
>>44039413
... are you going to face xenos? Because, uhm, I'd go too if...
Well as soon as I find my weapons, I mean.
>>44039409
*Burbles and points at eye, indicating upgraded prosthesis and brandishes several mechadendrites with improved looking plasma and flamer weapons*.
*Burbles and gestures at the weapons the Captain is carrying inquisitively.*
>>44039433
We are, I'm sure the liutenant woukd love to have you down there at the field of ba-
>>44039424
I... better go check what those two are doing.
>walks towards the origin of the sound, dropping the disguise until needed again.
>>44039405
Oh this? Don't worry they only electrocute me slightly now.
>>44039452
>Somehow the 10 foot tall xeno and psychopathic skull faced man are no where to be seen
>>44039433
If you wish you can drop with the LRDG, it might put her at ease I assume, we'll provide weapons and equipment, a desert uniform and some Carapace too, but you're attached to your armour yes?
>>44039434
>Arthur offers up his Bolter and gestures to the Powersword resting in it's scabbard at his hip.
Standard Issue Bolter and a Master Crafted Powersword, the latter must be returned to Praetoria with utmost haste.
I think now is a good time to commence deployment, jawhol?
>>44039413
Missed the handouts. My legs were rather hard to activate this morning, the magos said i should pour more holy oils in it during the activation litany. But when i told that to the nec-priest, he called me a retard.
>>44039460
>looks around.
Come on guys, it's not time to play hide and seek. Come out, Promise to behave and I'll take you both to the fight with me, deal?
>>44039458
*Pokes at the legs, tuning a few of the ends so they don't spark as much*
>>44039465
*Burbles and takes the bolter, examining it as he nods at the powersword*.
>>44039379just realized I forgot name tag. Well, nothing too badOkay... There is a lever here... Trigger... How do I... There's the safety... So different from a shotgun pistol...
>>44039465
No fair! i want a power sword. All they gave me is this hellgun and a spork.
>>44039452
>>44039465
I'd like to be sent to battle them, as soon as possible, and if able, drunk out of my mind.
I mean, I am not much good at anything but this, anyway.
I... don't you happen to have hand flamers? Mine are gone. I'd have a chainweapon, any kind will do, and some kind of heavy weapon?
>>44039477
oooh...
thats better! thanks!
>>44039479dammit! Spoilers, y u do dis?
*takes his place in the Thunderhawk*
Soon as we make landfall, I'm gonna do some solo recon, will stay in touch.
*wraps shiny Sororitas flamer in camo netting*
>>44039484
Sister i think you might need a leash this time, since were going into an open field. I think it might be wise to pick the moment to unleash you. Hows the new arm by the way?
>>44039477
>Removes the Powersword, more a Powersaber from the scabbard and offers it to ATP, grip first.
>>44039484
Mhm, I'll have Alice bring your equipment down with the Jeeps, along with a uniform and more appropriate armour, should you want the latter.
>>44039505
K. Just holler if you need backup.
>>44039491
*Burbles happily*.
>>44039484
*Pulls out a melta gun from his robes and offers it to the Sister.*
>>44039519
*Burbles happily, handing back a slightly more tuned up bolter and reverently testing the powersword.*
>>44039507
It works well, I guess...
>she opens her closes her fist a few times
It feels so weird though...
>>44039519
Why are you all so obsessed about my armor! And anyway, did anyone remove it while I was recovering? I hope you didn't or...
>>44039528
I... maybe I shouldn't be trusted with fine weaponry again, not after the last time.
>>44039535
How come everyone got better prosthetic's than me? My legs sparks everytime i bend it, damn it.
>>44039507
Leash? She a slave too?
>>44039549I dun goofed the nametag again.
>>44039507
That is an incredibly horrible idea Dolan, you're going to get your arse burned off.
>>44039535
A desert uniform blends in. And I think the Medics did up to the shoulder to attach the arm. I think.
>At this moment the hustle and bustle of the Cargobay is interrupted as the shrill whine of the alarms, followed by a synthetic announcement of "General Quarters, General Quarters, all hands man your battlestations" blares across the ship, along with a couple of squads of Armsmen dashing across the bay.
>At this Arthur jumps aboard a crate and issues an order of "All personnel find your ships and prepare for your drop!" before dashing off out of the bay towards the Motorpool, after retrieving his Powersword with an appreciative smile of course.

*Looks to Arthur for help as he hands back a powersword tuned for slightly better field strength*.
>>44039535
>>44039546
Sis, meltas are not unstable like plasmas. Take it. And ummm... no clue what happened with your armor...
>>44039573
Dont worry, i'll let someone else hold the flamers. And i know how to do some of those bdsm knots. How come they don't teach those at basics? Its better at constraining someone than mag-cuffs.
>>44039548
I wouldn't say it is better until we see how it performs on the battlefield. I guess I got a better techie?
Or they planted a bomb in it. It could be, with my luck...
>>44039549
... n-no, not really. Not in the strict sense.
>>44039583
Meltas aren't, I am.
>>44039573

>A few minutes after the GQ call is issued Alice rides into the Cargobay with a trio of heavily modified Jeeps along with some sort of Cargo Truck, heavily loaded down with munitions and emplaced weapons.

"Lix, Amelia and anyone else who wants to join' the LRDG assemble here now and make it quick!"
[Spoiler]Yes I'm aware that Amelia just ran out of the hangar. I would just hope that she saw the Jeeps driving down the corridor. IF she's going LRDG.

>gestures to a crate, with Bolter, Chainsword, Frags and Flamer.
Got a uniform too, for some reason.Just want to say the obsession with the armour is purely practical, as red Power Armour stands out a lot.
>>44039702
Hm, welcome aboard. You got a uniform or do I need to dig around for one?

>>44039820aye aye, milady
>>44039754
Thanks. But I acted against the battleplan and fucked up, a lot. Back to the monastery it would be a lot of whipping for something like this.
>>44039789
>sticks close to AliceAw I hoped it was your fetish!
Not really, but anyway there is a reason behind not wanting to take the armor off.

OH.
That's heresy material right there, don't you know?
>>44039887
No its propaganda material. Its good for morale.
*turns head and whispers*
>well my morale anyway.

So... should I stick to you and be an advisor or should I move around the battlefield and do my thing until something comes out?
>>44039956
Tau mostly, we're going in behind their lines to 'cause mayhem and disorder', which is a polite way to say that we're gonna target their munitions depots, fuel dumps and communications outposts.
>eyes the flask dubiously.
You really need to talk about that, you know you can trust me...right?
>Alice pauses, her tone showing she's unsure of it herself.
>>44039957
I'm...managing, I appreciate the concern, it's nice to have someone to have your back.
>>44039992
Stick close to us when you can, man one of the HB's or use a Longlas if you wish, but if you feel that there is an objective we need, such as a Tau CO then do what you do best.
>>44039956
Don't worry, they erased all my records when the inquisition called us in. Officially the regiment died in that bunker in cadia.
>>44040016
Do what we do best? You mean kill everything beyond any recognition?
We can do that.
>>44040016
Good. Have you ever been against Tau? Those silly machines of them won't last long without fuel...
>takes a look at the flask, the smell of the alcohol inside is awful
... I'd definitely hear what you have to say before choking myself on this, so go on.
>>44040036
... me too?

I'll man a heavy bolter and stick close until a CO shows up.

>>44040051
Aye, I want those Xenos properly FUBAR.
>>44040052
The....'supplement' in that flask won't help you know, I mean sure it might make the problem seem less prominent, but it's going to put everyone at rest. And it worries us. At least -try- to get through a battle without it, if only for your sake. You won't know until you try...
>>44040053
>Nods in return.
>>44040057
Is it possible to mount a heavier barrel on my Bolter do you think?
>>44040052
No, not you probably. Adeptas Sororitas are already "hush hush" to begin with.
>>44040106everyone at risk* Bloody hell man.
>>44040106
Aye Gimp-Lady. We'll run through them like an Astartes with a chem rush.
>>44040109
You don't know half of it...
>>44040106
I Couldn't- No! I... listen, it is important, You let the assassin take his drugs, right? What's wrong with this?
>>44040141I can quit whenever I want!
>>44040106
*"Heavier barrel is doable Lieutenant. Do you simply wish for added weight or would you like it to increase stability as well?"*
>>44040141
Well to be fair the Eversor can't actually survive without intoxicating himself at least once in a week. That's why they are kept in stasis.
>>44040141
Yeah, they stuck drugsticks into us too before matches! They might hurt and make you dizzy, but it gives strength!... Can I have some too?
>>44040172
Thats weird, the only place ive seen him this past week is in several lockers and the servitor compartments breathing heavily.
>>44040172
To be fair, I won't go through a battle without a sip. What's the matter...
>>44040197
