Uh...alright men, we've been granted a day to repair the base and see to our injured after action on that Space Hulk, so find yourself a task and get to work. That is...uh...all...Dismissed.

What now?

>Alice looks over nervously for a moment.
C-c-cornetto?
*unloads Metal Slug, checks his still, goes and finds a decent room, and hits the rack for a long nap*Won't be very active for now, but I'll continue to monitor the thread. Bang on Gary's door if you want him
>>44061854
Alright. Sister... uh...
*looks at clipboard*
Amelia. Can you hear me? We brought you to the Medbay on base and you burnt through the sedatives in record time.
>>44061897
So how are we going to do this?
>>44061877
Any better armor... or sugar.
>>44061897

>>44061889
W-well...uh, we should probably make s-sure that Amelia is..um..okay. A-after that..well I heard the Barracks has a...p-pict player somewhere? Assuming we a-aren't on shift...
>>44061912No worries mate.
>>44061954
We'll need to be careful....r-really careful...
>>44061976
>Jeep speeds over smashing into a few guardsmen and disappears heading towards the local Somum Fieldus

So she can still move...
*jots something down on the clipboard*
That's good. Now can you hear me?
>>44062006
Hey, don't be so scared. We'll be alright. We just gotta take it slow and steady and we'll be fine.
>>44062049
I-it's not, uh...Amelia I'm scared about...
>>44062049
>you start feeling a mild headache as Amelia's eyes blink open a couple of times and she seems to whine.

That... that sounds... nice, yes.
>Is blushing, but not as exageratedly as before.
Ahem. I do believe we shoukd tend to Amelia first, yes.

>>44062095
Then what are you scared about?
>>44062115
Oh boy this again. So how are you feeling Amelia?
*Get's on the vox*
I need a Techpriest that can fabricate an implant for me. Head to Medbay if you can.
Hello young 'uns! Good fight, eh?
>>44062158
S-something that doesn't concern you a-and won't concern you!

>>44062141
>the battle nun slowly opens her eyes and gives out a predictable:
Where am I?
>>44062217
Base Hospital ma'am. H-how are you feeling?
>>44062217
A-amelia! You're awake!
>>44062198
Wait. You told me before. *whispers* Demonette's right?
>>44062217
Base Medbay. We brought you back here after some stuff happened. Can you tell me what's the last thing you remember?
>>44062245
Uhg. It seems so.
>>44062234
I have the worst headache... where are my weapons?
>>44062264
I, ugh. Was fighting orks. It was all nice and dandy, and then...
Ack, I woke up here.
>>44062265
There safely stored. But we need you to answer some questions first.
>>44062264
D-do you see a Daemonette in this Hospital? Of course it's not...at least it's not now...
>>44062265
You don't need Weapons right now ma'am...but they're close by, it's okay.
*marches in the room with a shiny new caprace armour*
How is it going soldiers? Everything okay here?
>>44062300
Yer sky people seem 'ta be awful nervous 'round them night blighters. There something 'specially bad 'bout them I be not aware of?
>>44062300
>chokes out a laughter
I will be dead when I won't need them.
>>44062290
Let's go then.
>>44062300
Hey now... daemons only win if you let them scare you, and last I heard you outmeleed Khornates, didn't you?
>>44062300
Lieutenant, you seem to be nervous. Do you think something here is wrong? Are enemys near?
>>44062286
Anything about a tank.
*jots down her replies*
>>44062362
Did you have any dreams while you were unconscious?
>>44062316
Quartermaster Can you create an implant for me? I have the plans here.
>>44062344
T-they have...abilities...that I don't quite want to talk about...
>>44062362
We're safe here, don't worry...

>>44062428
>Holds her hand.
Hey! Calm down.
>>44062408
What kind of implant? Creating implants is normally considered tech heresy, but who cares.
>>44062428
Eh, if yer sure, I'll leave yer alone. Yer sky people live in a different uhni-varse than me, so I can't be a guide like I was back at Dusk... Well, enough sentimentalitee, I'll be prayin' to Empyrar an' Ol' Lady if yer need me.
>>44062480
>squeezes Lix's hand appreciatively.
I j-just...don't like talking about...i-it is all...
>>44062517
I can see that. Just... calm down. There are no daemonettes here.
>>44062472
Well that would be me. But we had reason to believe you were being possessed by a daemon. Now we see that you are actually a psyker and we need to suppress that ability so you can learn to control it.
>>44062501
It's one that will suppress psychic abilities. Don't worry the Inquisition developed it... to an extent.
>>44062517
Everyone has some things there scared of.
Sorry guys, but I'm feeling pretty sick today so I won't participate. Just assume Nyzart is off removing some tau remnants.
>>44062559
A daemon? Nonsense!
> points to her armor, lifting herself up
Do you know what does this mean, right?
Complete corruption immunity, hands off!
And what are you blathering about? Psykers?!
>>44062559
That sounds really complicated. I will try to work with it.
>>44062586I hope you feel better
>>44062586okay, I hope you'll get better soon

I k-know...it's em...nevermind, I'm fine. I'm good.
>>44062600
Amelia. I've... we've all seen it. You have psychic potential
>>44062600
Lay back down. As long as your a patient in this medbay I am in charge. You have psychic potential and we can't have you exploding and hurting anyone.
>>44062606
Please work quickly. It is very important.
*hands over a set of plans*
>>44062644
You sure? You look a bit pale.
>>44062627
>gives it a suspicious look
Fooling me, you are not.
>>44062647
Callidus, you have been weird all day long, please put an end to your jokes.
>>44062660
Again? Can not you see the armor? I am not a psyker, case closed!
>>44062660
This is the first time I work with work technology. It will take some time and intensive testing. Otherwise we could possibly blow up our sear Sister into a warp portal.
>>44062679
You burnt though a sedative in a hour that should have knocked a psyker out for at lest a day. You are a quite powerful one
The armor means nothing. It is your mind. It is now vulnerable.
>>44062667
I...I am?
I-I'll be fine when everyone uh...s-stops talking about it...
>>44062698
I meant warp technology.
>>44062706
>Chucks a box marked Andomunus Summers to her
>Thumbs up
>>44062700
>Amelia shakes her head, whellping in pain
Listen up, guardsman, I am the most qualified here to say who is a psyker and who is not.
My weapons, and let me go.
>>44062706
Paler than usual. You might just need some food and rest
>>44062516

>smiles thankfully.
>>44062744
Easy easy...w-we're not going to turn you in...we're just worried. P-please....
>>44062744
*raises voice*
Have you worked along side with them? stopping them from turning into a warp gate? have you studied their brain waves to see the slightest change in there power? Have you observed them while using their powers? I didn't think so. So lay down and let me do what I have to do to stop you from causing yourself and us harm.
>>44062706
Then we won't mention it.
>>44062744
Alright that's enough. Amelia listen... I know you dislike the situation and that it seems crazy but it IS true. You... you made sparks appear around you in thin air.
>>44062813
And who says you did all that shit? I have had my experiences with psykers. Some of which lasted until I was able to get into bolter range. Let me go, you hold no authority on me!
>>44062784
There is no problem, ehm... I could use a drink though...
>>44062834

You haven't monitored them. And as long as you're a patient in my medbay I am above you. Now we need to get this sorted out. So late down
>>44062857
I have some fungus juice if yer want any. Straight from Dusk.

>reaches after Amelia hesitantly with her left hand.
P-please s-stay....we just want to make sure you're o-okay....
>>44063004
Sister, I understand that the idea of being accused to be a filthy mutant isn't very enjoyable, but we have to make this tests.
Otherwise we have to asume that you are maybe hiding something.
>>44062857
>>44063004
Stop! That is an order.
>Stern.
>She's frowning right now.
Alright listen up. I'm no longer speaking as a friend but rather as a vessel of the high lords of terra's will, as are all assassins. You have psychic potential. You are a danger to all those around you if left unchecked and if it comes to that I may be forced to act on the elimination of said danger. Listen to me as the voice of reason for yours is clouded. You're surrounded by a group of faithful believers that concede on a single fact: you are a psyker. Think about your cirrent situation, do you really think we are joking?
>>44063004
Just a couple o' drops o' de-tox an' it should be safe fer yer sky people... Here. Strong stuff.
>>44063004
That's it. I didn't want to do this.
*pulls out data slate*
Look. This is a after action report saying you have psychic abilities with inquisition level clearance. You will listen to me and sit down.
>>44063063
Thanks. Much appreciated.
>>44063047
>>44063056
If you put it in these terms, I will call in my Order. I believe we don't want to bother boh the inquisition and a sororitas order, and by extension, the Bloody Rose, only because of your silly, unfounded suspects.
>"So you WERE a dialogus once,after all."
If you need me to take into consideration existing precedents...

I request to see the dataslate, to check it is not a false. About which battle is it?

>after a moment of hesitation, Amelia takes Alice hand
I'm sorry, I won't stand those accuses. Forgive me.
>slowly awakens
>the man who sold the worldand fucked the plotplays
>>44063179
Call your order. Make the inquisitor bother and notice you have to go to a black ship. Forget all our attempts we're doing here so you don't end up in one of those
>>44063179
Wish I could be o' more use. 'ard choices be all too familiar 'ta me, but this be different. *nods at his paralyzed legs*
>>44063179
The previous one.
The codes are valid and the radio transmissions are all blocked by the inquisition. I'm only allowed to show you the report.
If all goes well you will get a simple implant and be on your way.

>Alice sounds unsure herself.
>>44063211"Not yet, the patient in the next bed saw my face."
>>44063266
What is different?
>>44063267
You have proof I used sorcery against the Tau yesterday? Ridiculous. Let me see.
>>44063247
I can see your motivations, Callidus. If you really need to keep the Lieutenant close to you so bad that you plan to get rid of me in the process at least be honest and say it.
>>44063319

>>44063279
I see that the assassin is making you believe what she wants. I honestly had a better opinion of her.
My guns, Alice. Before someone tries to force me on the next black ship.
>>44063319
The one against the orks in the hulk. Not the Tau.
Listen we are trying to help you.

H-Huh?

How do you even dare...
>You can see tears on her eyes.
Do you even know why I'm so hellbent in that you control your OBVIOUS problems with warp fuckery?!
DO YOU EVEN SEE I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU, HERE?!
NO OF COURSE YOU DON'T! YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF SO UNTOUCHABLE LIKE HE DID! THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT! AND I ENDED UP ALONE IN THE SCHOLA PROGENIUM!
I'm done. Amelia. Do as you please. I'm not going to try to save you from a black ship any longer.
>Leaves the room closing the door with a BLAM behind her.
>>44063366
You are trying to show me as a psyker.
This is hardly an help.
>>44063389
That's not true, Alice. We simply don't have a choice. But you can choose now to let me go and close this pitiful scene.

Thank you, Alice. It is not... yes, I am a psyker. A Telepath, I believe. guess you can't blame for not wanting to admit it...
But I... I can trust you, right?

... I am not reading your mind, Alice. I can't, I have not enough control, and I don't want to. I... well, I told you I was an ex dialogus, right? My order... we actualy had a small chamber militant as well. An handful of sisters for protection.
Help me take off my armor.
>>44064173Her father was a non-sanctioned psyker and all the family she had left. One day he just exploded out of no apparent reason before her while she was playing with her Space Marine doll. Worst of it all is that she was in range to get splattered by the bloody mess.

>>44064283No, it was the already mentioned in the other thread Crimson Fists one, the one she called "Guardian". She was convinced that it was the doll of one of the Emperor's Angels what saved her from also blowing up for no reason and that as long as she was with it she would never suffer the fate her late father did. Making her a fully faithful believer of the Imperium and the Emperor from the get-go on her early days at the Schola Progenium.
>>44064317
[Spoiler] I got no clue either. I'm just prepared for the worst.
>>44064357spoilers don't work on mobile.
>>44064357Same.
I can already see the "THIS ISN'T GONNA END WELL" Flags going off
>>44064381They do, it's just that you wrote "spoiler" with a capital S
>>44064381nvm
>>44064383but I'm prepared as I can riget now.
>>44064357I'm currently playing somewhere in the base with inquisitorial warp tech, without real knowledge about the stuff.
>>44064336
No you don't.
>takes off the shirt, revealing an horrifically scarred torso on which disgusting runes have been traced with some painfully sharp sort of hook
It is actually half of the story and it ends with me murdering one of the sisters of my order, stealing her armor and posing as her when the Astartes actually decided to come and saves what was left of us.
That means me.
Well, of course she had the retarded idea of... of trying to kill me after I mindraped our torturers. Completely unwillingly. So I guess I can be excused... sort of. It is a messy story.
>>44064317Neither we do. Inquisitorial secret!
>>44064318
>>44064352
Ohw but come on. A doll of Boreale. Perfect.
>>44064357
Uh, it is fine people, just play with each other in the meantime.
Not in THAT sense mind you.
>>44064426
The plans are pretty straight forward. Also for future reference I have quite a few inquisition plans and related stuff.

>>44064492

>Amelia jumps on her feet
W-what?!
>>44064477The plans maybe, but the Quartermaster is kinda obsessed with augmentations, implants and modifications.
>>44064492I would have looked into it but I was preoccupied with the psyker thing
ALRIGHT QUICK RECAP OF THE LAST 3 THREADS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ABSENT:
We fought the tau.
We kicked their asses.
We celebrated that we defeated a (half) daemon prince, 2 tau strike forces, liberated an imperial base from Tau's hold, cleansed a ship from a genestealer infestation and made sure a tomb-world did not rise against the Imperium IN A SINGLE DAY.
Our characters all got a bit drunk on the celebration.
Crazy, funny shit occurred everywhere.
Hank tried to make his move on Alice. Alice almost makes him (accidentaly?) suicide and revealed to the Callidus LIX and the SoB Amelia she was into girls.
Amelia felt ashamed and left.
LIX felt ashamed but started to wonder.
Hank was rescued from dying by the techpriest.
Gary was mad with Alice for being the cause of Hank's almost suicide.
Thread ended with awkward sleeptime for everyone (these where 2 threads by the way).
Then we moved to an ork space hulk last thread and cleansed it from orks. Amelia was shown to be a psyker and... well here we are.
>>44064427
O-oh....OH. U-um...uh..
>shuffles over and places a gloved hand on Amelia's shoulder.
It...it wasn't your fault, she was scared, true but...she attacked you for something you had no control over. She was doing what she thought she had to, so wer-

W-whats the matter?!
>>44064492

Oh boy...

*shuffles on the other side of the door*
>>44064527
*ready's hellgun*
Please no daemons in there.
>>44064527
I... don't know, there was something from the outside. Something I could feel like...
>shakes her head
I don't know.Sorcery messes with your brain. When I am sober it keeps making me see think of those days...
If they find out I will be executed on the spot. I was lucky to be assigned to an inquisitorial cadre after that instead of just being purged because I survived and...
>>44064578
There's no Daemons! Just don't come in!
>picks Amelia's shirt off the floor and tosses it to her.
>>44064588
Hey, hey, listen...
>Alice does her best to sound reassuring.
We're not going to let them find out? Okay? We were just worried about you, okay? We're your friends. That's what friends do. B-but...I think you m-might owe Lix an apology....an explanation might help with that.....
>>44064637
She is an assassin! She can not think of anything else than killing her targets, you can not think of her as a normal person, please! She wants me on a black ship as soon as possible...
>puts on the shirt and starts putting back on the armor as well
I trust only you, Alice...
>Amelia blushes, taking again Alice's hand in hers
>>44064637you weren't supposed to hear that. Whoops.
>>44064685
Do you really think that Amelia? Deep down you know it isn't true, you're just scared, that's okay, it's that fear that reminds you that you're alive....
If, as an Assassin she would only send you to the Black Ships then surely, -I-, as a Praetorian should do the exact same thing, but I do not.
>gives Amelia's hand a gentle squeeze in return.
All I'm asking is that you give her a chance, she's a good person, she is, Assassins just have a....'unique' reputation.
If anything happens, I will handle it....err, attempt to handle it...
>squeezes Amelia's hand once more.Yeah....Alice is nowhere near dumb enough to think she could win against a based Callidus.
>>44064790
That's more than I could ask for, Alice. Really.
>seizes the chance to leave a quick kiss on her left cheek
I'll never forget it. Now, uhm... well, what should we do about the others? I... I can't tell them all this stuff!Just according to keikaku
Found who I was! The killiest, maddest, hell-for-leather, Tommy-helmet-wearing guardsman ever to somehow get away with assaulting a superior officer and only being sent to a penal regiment.
>Trooper Kom awakes in a corner behind the barracks and noisily groans. No-one's quite sure where he's been ever since he stole a Taurus and drove off to silence heretic guns during the liberation of Cadia. Throne's sake, HE isn't sure where he's been, but he has a horrific hangover, cotton-mouth and has somehow lost his franken-stubber and more importantly, his knife-rimmed helmet.
Urrrgh... Fraaaaak me, what the living demons of the warp was I DOING?
>stumbles out into the light and immediately wails in pain, shielding his eyes
Arrrrgh..! No... Frak, someone get me a medic... Light burns my everything so much it's loud... Where the hell's Louise? Where's my helmet?
Emperor's mercy, someone tranq me. Where's my BOOTS?

As for the others....they will be told that the situation is resolved. If they question this....

ahh good stuff.
Anyway i dream't i was chaplain, there were some orks, i think. Something weird about purity seals? What happened yesterday?
>>44065101
Well I gotta say one thing. Being a psyker is nothing to hide. You were dealt a bad hand. If you need anything don't be a stranger.
*starts walking away*
Oh yeah. I still advise getting the implant.
>>44065312
Yeshterday? We partied hard... for all our victories in a single day.
Reeeeeal hard.
Sho hard that I had my mind on other things today weil... wilf... whilsht fighting the orksh...

I won't get any implant. Put it in your head.

Mhm, good.
Come along Amelia, need to find Lix....I hope she's okay...

Do I act like this when drunk, too?
>The throne agent walks in on the scene at what could be a bad moment.

I'm begging you sir. I have no idea what the hell I took in that last dust-up, but I can't remember a fething thing since Cadia!
And I've lost my new favourite gun too... And my helmet. I think this is the worst day I've ever had and I'm counting the day I signed up!
>>44065610
H-hey, it's alright, we were all worried, even scared before, nobody was at fault...
>walks over to the bar and comes back with a bottle of Rum.
...wait, what was that about your day Lix?
>>44065549
That's war tactics standard, troopers! I don't see the point you are trying to make!

It... t is all forgiven. I guess. Don't worry.

He jusht popped on his k-chs-chair like a piñata!
Later I learnt it wash because he wash a pshyker.
>>44065666
>making a sign to put on the door
Yes, tactics. But most warriors of the Imperium don't cackle with intoxicated glee everytime they charge towards the nearest cluster of enemies.
Im just saying, its entertaining to watch, if not for the ordnance flying at every direction.
>>44065602
Huh, wanna trade bosses for awhile? Honestly, I'd like to find out more about her.yeah, we planets idea on base

Wow. What brought THIS up?

Sh-sure! What are the chances two personsh pop out of my life anywaysh?
>>44065643
Hey. I may be a butter bar but I don't act like it or do I really like it. I got some morphine and it seems like you got a hell of a hangover. I'll give it to you this time. Take the morphine and head to the mess hall and get some food. Now I gotta go find Gary and sort some sensitive stuff out.
>>44065741
What do you want to know? She used to be a Commisar, fakes a Vostroyan accent because she thinks it sounds good, and likes to manipulate xenos into solving humanity's problems for us where it's an option.

Also Ensign, sorry to report, but Greely has entered the premises.
>>44065753
Nothing important, don't worry about that, enjoy the bar instead. It's Tau free.

None of us are going anywhere, don't worry.I wonder if Lix would take a proper name like Churchill did. I suspect not, but hey...Who Dares Wins.
>>44065810
>waves dismissively with her left hand.
Bah, don't worry about it, he's too important for you to keep out anyway.Also yeah, consider Dolan officially promoted to Corporal if you want it for him.
>>44065834I don't think so, it's true that she's drunk right now but she ussually has a strong sense of professionalism. Way too strong as to let her codename be changed freely without propper temple's permission.
>>44065877Woah, nothing OFFICIAL, I do not want to fuck with the Callidus Temple over a name, I like Alice living, I just mean a 'nickname' like ATP, who is now Churchill, other Techpriests wouldn't acknowledge that, but we do, if you get what I mean.

Thanks a million, sir. I can actually think again! Uh, I hate to ask, but- Waait, Gary? That huge guy with chest muscles you could bounce a chimera off? He's still alive?
>His stomach growls angrily and Kom claps a hand over it
Uh, sorry sir, I'll get some food in my face-hole ASAP. First though, gotta answer the call of nature-!
>Sprints for the facilities, barely making it in time, in the unfamiliar base. After relieving and cleaning himself, Kom makes for the mess and looks to see if there's anyone there, but more importantly, where the food is
Frak, this is all we've got? Pius's balls, I'm guessing the salvage and gathering situation's fraked then... Where in the warp even are we?
And where's my sodding helmet?!
>>44065834
I... I hope you don't... I think... I think I love you, but don't tell it to youshelf jusht yet, it'sh still too early, if I told you you'd think I'm deshperate or shomething worse.

Are you a Psyker all of the sudden? Because you know people in Imperial service usually get sanctioned if that happens.

>Alice's previous blushing intensifies and she reaches over to pluck the bottle from Lix's hands to take a few swigs herself, which doesn't exactly help.
>>44065949
It's nothing. Try the bar. No Tau paperwork. Just Imperial Alcohol.
>>44065984
>blush is approaching the colour of her normal uniform coat.
You know, there was a time I thought I was a psyker, what with the pict-cam memory and all.
That's why I joined the Arbites, actually. Didn't want to end up on a black ship, so I signed up first chance I got. Nothing ever came of it, but by the time I stopped worrying, i was an enforcer.
>>44066005
>>44065984
This situation isn't going to where i want it to. Theres a lot of feely, not enough touchy.
>>44066005I flipped a coin whilst my character was drinking. Options were to go full Ted Mosby and drop a "I love you" at the first date or go full shy. Guess what won?
>>44065803
So one of them radicals huh? Figured as much. How does she plan on getting rid of that Necron?
>>44066050
>bonks his head with an armored fist
Shush. I am thinking. There's something wrong in all this.
>>44066120
ow! I just said that.
>>44066050
Oh. Ohhh. I see. I guess the Inquisitor owes me 50 thrones
>>44066089
Actually, she sees him as a valulable resource. How much do we know about the Necrons, besides that they come forth from their tombs and kill or conquer everything in their path?
And here we find one that doesn't. One that seems to be interested in staying out of our way, or even working in concert with us. It requires further investigation to see what's really up. Plans are already drawn up for whatever comes of this.
>>44066077
>>44066120D-did you say Mister Bones Wild Ride?
P-perhaps the three of us should...u-um...retire to our b-bunkroom? There's s-still booze there...

If you think so... hoping the Callidus calms down a bit, though.
>>44065924No, seriously guys, I don't know where anyone is or anything. I think I joined in at a bad time...
>>44066184More importantly, he still hasn't found the Tau bug I planted on him, not that he'd know who planted it
