Alright muppets, listen up. Captain an' his lads are finishing off the rest of those Orks up on the moon, meanwhile we've been ordered to secure this base while you lot deal with whatever or whoever is up to no good in this hellhole. Any of you need me I'll be over at the gate.Usual muppet reporting in lads, just kicking it off as this guy because both my usual Praetoribro's are otherwise engaged. Switching back after this.

For those that are interested I guess?
*zzzttt*
hello. hello anyone in?
*zzzttt*
Storehouse secure over.
Hey guys, I'm back! Can anyone give me a recap of what happened in the last thread?
>Is still driving off with Alice.
So... any plan where you want to go actually? Or we're just driving off through the desert?
>>44168677
>"Aye, we're here. We're staying put but we're here."
>>44168689Oh boy, Amelia psychically influenced Alice into raging against everyone so she and Delta took a jeep for a walk and relax themselves. Gary got suspicious of something going up with Greely and others and made a call to "Some friends".
>23K and Saharduin continue to force the guardsmen to play volleyball with them wearing tight jeans and no shirts.
>crashes to the ground face first
Ugh... Where's my Promethium Lance?
>>44168694
Alright.
Just holler if your coming in.
I kinda went overboard with the mines.
*yawns*
Well sergeant, when ya see Captain Wellsley, you tell him I've called in some help. And thank Terra, it'll be here before too long.
>>44168689Um....REALLY brief? We got back from the Space Hulk, Amelia was revealed to be a Psyker to a few people, she stormed off and later admitted it to Alice. Few people got drunk, Amelia subconsciously influenced the young Lieutenant, making her want to murder everyone, so Alice nicked LIX and buggered off into the desert on Safari while Jackson and a few others are figuring out the Psykerism. Oh and WE ABOUT TO GET A SPECIAL VISIT
>>44168692
Hm? Eh, just have a drive around, get my head clear. Maybe go for a spot of hunting or get some target practice in? What is it that you -want- to do?
>>44168742I am.....A COMPLETE PIKEY. Forgot to change my name. I may need more coffee.
Literally just woke up, gimme a little while before I get things going. It'll be more dramatic that way.
*wheelchairs into base with one eye missing*
>>44168742
W-what I want? I-I don't... I...
I... I guess some wild animals to hunt could... help on cleaning up your head from the previous mess...
I see you're all doing a fine job of keeping this proud tradition going. Keep up the good work.
>>44168753I've got some 2spooky planned as well. Hue hue hue. Yours will be better though.
>>44168758
You want to bag yourself a Grox or something eh? Could go bag a Devilfish, but best to start off with something easy.
>Alice chuckles to herself as she pulls the duo's Jeep into a cave and climbs into the back to start fiddling with a crate.
>>44168759Lemming! Join in, we could use your hilariously awful ideas.
>>44168778
Not necesarily... well the grox meat is always good, but... I'd preffer somewhere comfy and quiet for once, I thought going out on a wild animal hunt could work for both of our needs.
>>44168715
>Hit's too hard at the volleyball and removes a guardsman's head with siege drill
>Scores a killer spike in the match though
>23K and Saharduin win
>>44168789
Somewhere comfy....Aha! There's a stream not too far from here, that'll be nice and peaceful.
>Alice pops the crate's lid with a grunt of effort and pulls a Pulse Rifle from within, along with a trio of mags.
You'll be wanting this lass.
>>44168719
LEMMING MY FRIEND, I MISSED YOU AND YOUR EXPLOSIVE CONTRIBUTIONS!
I SHALL BE MONITORING THE PROCEEDINGS FROM AFAR ONLY, UNFORTUNATELY.
>>44168790
*watches the head fly off*
Hey careful with that!
>>44168834Switching to phone for a while.
T-tau weaponry? What are we going deep undercover now?
>>44168852
>Start's celebrating with 23K
>23K seems to be doing allot of drugs at this point.
>Hi5's 23K while his collar lights ups
"I guess that shot went straight over his head"
>Both them do a air guitar before heading over to the canteen with the over sized centurion wearing sahardiun knocking over tents and low wires as they go.
>>44168756
*Proceeds to medical facilities muttering to himself*
>>44168868
Well, it beats a Longlas, which we don't actually have, plus it's more accurate than a Bolter.
>lifts her own Carbine and taps the end of the barrel.
Plus it's linked to my Markerlight, I'll tag 'em and you bag 'em. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant sniping experience this far out from Terra.
>>44168881and it took me this long to realize i didn't input a name tag...
>>44168881I think you forgot your name.
>the supersonic roar of a Thunderhawk's engines are heard in the distance
Well, looks like they're here already. Damn but that was quick! They were either bored or really damned concerned, and I know which is more likely...
>a dark crimson Thunderhawk appears in the sky, it circles about and comes in to the neglected parade ground to land
>it can be seen to bear a sigil of a horned skull
>look closely and it also bears esoteric runes and strange markings, along with standard Imperial heraldry
>the boarding ramp lowers as vapor emerges with a hydraulic hiss
>a massive, dark figure looms out of the shadows of the gunship, followed by several others, as Gary stands waiting with a twisted smile some twenty meters off
>>44168880
Well someone is having a party.
*starts following them from afar*
>>44168836
*hears Theresia yelling, smile grows*Glad you could make it
>>44168868
>the unmistakable hum of a catacomb command barge follows the jeep
I'm bored. do you want any help? Also, I feel like I should know what exactly you're doing.
>>44168893
>Accepts the weapon.
I-it's heresy to employ non-standarized Xeno weaponry out of assignements for a Callidus... it's heresy to even carry them for a guardsman...
>>44168881
>>44168904I do apologize profusely for not acknowledging Rogan, but....it's sort of hard when Alice is a few klicks out.
>>44168926.......They specifically went out there to not get disturbed brah.....I mean shit I know Lolcrons can track people on a whim but...
>>44168904
Oh hi field Surgeon! Shall I push your wheelchair? Where do you need to go?
>>44168909
*fzzzt*
Hello, hELLo.
Come in gary, over.
>>44168939
Is that a C'tan phase blade?
>>44168945I can leave if you guys want. Gary's maybe deathwatch situation sounds interesting.
>>44168951
Shit, shoulda remembered.
*on vox linked to intercom*
Attention all personnel! Report outside on the double!
>>44168960I'm surprised you managed to come here and still see the Eversor given that we took a jeep several clicks away from the base.
W-what? N-no. It's a standarized Callidus Temple Phase Blade. Wh-what are you even doing here?
>>44168921
>Enters Canteen, Saharduin follows but tears the tents entrance so he could fit
>Saharduin sits on a bench pushing guardsmen off the other end
>23K gets in the queue waiting for a few moments before deciding that he doesn't like queueing so just walks to the front and picks up a large tray of meat and throws it towards saharduin.
>>44168939
>raises her eyebrow questioningly in LIX's direction.
You have a sword that can do...what it does, and you're worried about a Longshot? I'm not sure I follow....
>>44168926
We came out here on 'Recon'. And to get a bit of peace and quiet. Impossible to get that at the base with those...'knobs' spying on us.
>>44168964Eh, it isn't that bad, was more to get away from Command Squad HERESY BLAM. Although yes, we'll be doing boring things here desu.
>>44168978
>The Vox equipment in the now vacant -and hidden- jeep sits silent, remaining turned off.
>>44168972
Should i stay and hold the storeroom? over.
>>44168978
I was just returning from the re-christening of Gospyria's true capital and I noticed your jeep. And if I were you I'd stay the hell away from using that sword on this planet if you want to keep using it. Certain members of my court would be interested in acquiring one.
>>44168985
Eeeeeehhhh I knew it was a penal regiment but I wonder what the Commissar would think of this.
Or Sister Theresia. Or Gary. Or anyone.
>>44168988ahw, so you ditched me completely?
How rude.
It is like you are not even trying.
>>44168972
>Vox buzzes to life, looks at it before choosing to keep the 'feast' going
>Starts eating the cleaning sponges with a side of sauce.
>>44168988
>>44168997
T-the blade is completely human made! It's the wonders of the Adeptus Mechanicus, questioning that is heresy!
>Whispering to herself.
Or so I was told.
>>44168972
What, me too?
On a sidenote, what is the IG's stance on... Not-queuing? And taking massive amounts of food?
>>44169004She felt a sudden urge to kill nearly everyone on base and them trying to eavesdrop certainly didn't help.
Using her Officer's mind she dictated that she couldn't protect Amelia if she got killed trying to kill everyone else to protect her.
>>44169019I don't think they'd like it but might make exceptions for a Eversor with a 10 foot shark man wearing centurion armour sitting at the table kek
>>44168949
To the medbay... I Just had a long and exhausting conversation.
>>44168945It's okay, Rogan is a side characterish person anyways
>>44169017
You just keep telling yourself that. Anyways, have a nice date, I'm going to check on your base.
>speeds off
>>44169064
D-date?
>Sudden realization this could easily be considered as one.
O-oh...
>Blush.
Rolled 9 (1d20)
>>44169064

>3

>>44169064
>>44169087
A-a....n-nevermind...
>Alice blushes and attempts to press the Longshot into LIX's hands.
I-it's not really that big of a deal. It's not like it's a Chaotic uh....w-weapon or anything. Just a rifle.
B-but shall we head for that stream?
>Alice grabs a camo net from the back of the Jeep and slings it over the top of her backpack.
Just a reminder to worship the 4 aspects of our glorious God-Emperor
>>44169108
>meanwhile in a dark corner of the base
Out of my head.
>So she left you here?
>Alone?
>What are you gonna do, now?
Drink.
>Again?
Shut the fuck up then.
>I can't.
>Call her.
Vox isn't working.
>How rude. You are going on a nice trip on the black ship, you know?
I am not. I am thinking.
>That's heresy.
Everything is. Damn, what should I do...
>>44169064
hello.
hello.
Come in necpriest. Over
This Cpl.Dolan Sigismund Lim.
Pick up if your getting this. over.
>>44169113I forgot. What those are.
>>44169113
Oh? I'm new to the cult, so... What are these asu-pets?
>>44169108
S-sure, let's go.
>The blushing is far from over.
I don't mind using Xeno weaponry, it's just that I am constantly told to be wary about it. But you're right it's not... tainted, actually it's pretty light compared to other dual handed weapons I've held.
>>44169120
Hello Dolan! Over.

>Guardsman Alpharuss.jpg

>>44169130
>>44169137
Aspect of War. The God-Emperor guides us in bloody and glorious battle in his name
Aspect of Ecstacy. The ecstacy we feel when we kill the Emperor's enemies. Remember to revel in it
Aspect of Hope. Accepting that death in the Emperor's name is the greatest honour we can have. Hope for a better future for humanity
Aspect of Progress. Achievement and intelligence is what the Aspect of progress bestows upon us.
Remember to pray to the four aspects every day
>>44169147
We might have a potentially volatile situation at the base. Over.
I need some third-party firepower on standby. Over.
>a black armored, skull helmed Space Marine strides deliberately from the gunship and stops in front of the Catachan
>his squad brothers fan out to either side, keen to any possible threat
Guardsman Lawzom. It is good to see I am able to offer aid to the last of the Catachan 79th while he still lives. I see you have established yourself well in this new regiment. So tell me, for what purpose have you summoned the Exorcists to your aid?
>Gary clears his throat
Good to see you too, Chaplain, damned glad you could make it. Well, not entirely sure what is going on, but we've got a Necron Lord an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor has declared an ally, and we have a Sister of Battle who has been revealed to be an undiscovered psyker. That and some in this regiment have not been acting normally. *sighs* It doesn't seem like anything is obviously wrong, but something is that's beyond me, and you were the closest who could do anything.
>Blinks purple with energy inside it's containment box.
>To anyone with psychic potential it's almost as a beacon of power.
>Stops abruptly a few minutes later.
>>44169142
Mhm, say what you want about the Tau, they don't do anything half assed....Ah, but I suppose it's only fair. After all, the God Emperor marches alongside us. Thus we are invincible.
>grabs a second Pulse Rifle from the box and slings it over her shoulder, before leading LIX out of the cave and towards the stream.
>>44169116The Praetorians at the gate might tell Amelia where Alice is, of course they're not liable to let anyone leave right now, because SUDDENLY SPACE MARINES is a biiiiiiiiiiiig deal.
>>44169186
Looks safe. Anyone want to touch it?
>>44169171
... Sounds like them boogeymen. No wonder ol' lady doesn't like 'im, even when she praises 'is good intentions.
>>44169186
NHHHG!
>clutches her head and falls on one knee.
>>44169178
I shall be there momentarily.
>>44169180Gary you fucker.
>>44169164I though it was. Cleanse. Purge. Kill and kill
>>44169180
>>44169193Fuck.
Thanks Alice, no really.
>>44169206
Stay out of sight till i give the signal that something went wrong. over.
>>44169180
Come in gary, come in. over.
>>44169180
>a deathmark watches from its perch on one of the taller buildings
>>44169216Well....if Amelia played the part of the dutiful sister and asked nicely...I mean it's not like she would have had kind words for the others in the Regiment when she left after all....they might -Read: Certainly will- look the other way.....
>>44169180
I belive there was mention of an artifact that had to do with the slaying of the Sorceror Virmanthras before he was able to become daemon?
*Gary slaps his head* Of course! I must be drunk. It's secured. I'll lead you to it.
>they go to where the heresy box is kept, heads are turned
Here it is. I'll leave opening it to you.
>>44169224Actually scratch that.
>>44169193
>Follows Alice.
I've... I've never sniped anything in my whole life... That's what Vindicares are for...
>>44169223
Certainly. What is the situation, exactly?
>Stands on top of his table in the canteen and pulls some sort of electric guitar off his back
>Saharduin pulls some bongos out of his centurion suite and starts a beat.

>The canteen goes quiet until 23K pulls his executioners pistols out while doing some hammer on's and pull off's and the crowd goes wild
>>44169227Shame I can not contact alice then.
>>44169237
I..
All i know is that we may have hostile sleeper agents in our ranks. Gary knows all the details, i'm just the picket watch. Over.
>>44169228
>It looks like a normal Eight pointed star trinket that any traitor would wear.
>NothingToSeeHere.jpeg.
>>44169234
There's nothing to it lass. I'm a sniper by training myself....but father and mother wished me to be safer so I was transfered to Sandhurst Primaris and trained as an Officer. They do care but...like I said, normal eh?
>Alice raises her Carbine and sweeps the area infront of them as they near the stream.
But enough of my ramblings. Sniping is easy, I'll teach you if you want. And a Longshot 'Pulsie' is as easy as it gets.
>>44169253Have Amelia wander over to the gates and speak to the Praetorians there, they'll give her a jeep. Remember, none of them actually know Amelia is a Psyker. Just a Sister.
>>44169261
Then should I not talk with Gary?
>>44169180
I DINDU NOTHING WRONG.
UNLESS YOU MEAN ANOTHER SISTER.
>>44169228
*barely evades the space marine on his way to medbay, dropping his statues* eksuuse me, go ahead good angel.
>>44169249
what the fuck is that....
hmm... catchy.

>he cautiously takes the box, and unclasps it's seals while murmuring a High Gothic litany of uncertain purpose
>head tilts at the sight of the porn, he examines the shimmering bauble
>shakes his head
You'll have to explain the pornography later. This artifact must not be left amongst any of you. I shall have it taken to our strike cruiser for later examination and destruction. Brother Konstantine?
>the mentioned Brother bows and takes the box to the Thunderhawk, which let's off two Landspeeders and threw assault bikes before lifting off
>>44169277
Oh... that's nice I guess I c-could use some advice.
>She's still blushing.
>>44169277
>would probably do that, if there weren't the Exorcists at the front door.
>>44169293and so goes every chance. Well, I would have not even started this if I knew the astartes were involved.
>>44169280
We know, Sis, we know. You're the purest damn Sister I ever did know. It's that other one we're worried about...
>>44169186
*stops pushing Rogan*
*clutches her head and curses in high gothic*
>>44169279
Well. Hes indisposed currently, we have guest it seems.
>>44169293
>Just holding it already makes any Exorcists uneasy.
>I bet this regiment is full of heretics, playing with Xeno weaponry, doing deals with Xenos, Spoiling the bodies of traitors... it sure demands purging. Don't you think it demands purging?
>>44169312Landing Pad is in the middle of the base compound, if Amelia skirts around the buildings she can make it all the way to the gate while the Exo's are busy talking to Gary. From there the view of the front gate is blocked by a pair of Chimeras acting as the gate.
And it's not like I knew the Exo's of all people were gonna appear when the last thread ended either.
>>44169317
Eh? Yer alright? *picks up the statues*
>>44169303
Think nothing of it, it a good thing to improve your skills, that you can serve the Emperor more effectively in all things.
>Alice's cheeks are reddened slightly as well, but discussion of 'business' appears to be keeping her mind off it.
>>44169330
>their studious and once possessed minds ignore the unholy thing's insidious whispers, Brother Konstantine places potent purity seals of warding upon the box
Now. Where is this "Sister" by the name of Amelia?
>>44169348
G-good... Good.
>"Do it, this is the best moment."
>"B-but..."
>"Don't be afraid, you're in intimacy now."
>"I-I'm not afraid... m-maybe just a little bit..."
>"You can do it, don't be shy you don't need to talk about yourself now."
>Tries at holding Alice's hand with hers.
>stays outside the walls of the base, waiting for Dolan to give a signal.
>>44169345
Yes it's ... Something in the warp is not right.
>>44169335
>Nah, fuck it.
>Amelia just makes her way to the garage looking for a vehicle
Astartes at the door. Wonderful. I am just going to bail out of this. And then I don't know, but anything is better than this.
>>44169330
Hold on
This artefact requires further examination
I say we hold on to it until we can safely dispose of it
>>44169374
SHE AINT ONE OF MINE, THATS FOR SURE.
>>44169380
Eh? Well, I have 'ta say, since I left sector cahl- calyx- cylaxis.... The chalice, I been feelin' weird. Too quiet, you know?
>>44169375dear emperor, how heretical
>It's psychic suggestions still reach out of the sealed containment.
>>44169380
>They're here to purge you all. And you know it.

>Imagine all the good this power could do. All the lives the Imperium could save from Daemon Incursions.
>>44169389
>a black gauntlet lands upon her shoulder
Sister. I have heard much about you. Would you spare a word with me?
>he betrays nothing, but already he can see this "Sister" is not what she appears to be...
>>44169395
It is to be examined, but upon my terms, Inquisitor.
>>44169430
>Ah, well well. End of the line.
Brother.
>amelia turns around
What is the matter?
>>44169327
Dolan? Come in, Dolan! Over.
>>44169375
>starts at the sudden touch, but soon relents, closing her own hand around LIX's with a comforting squeeze.Mecha, can you stick your Steam on for a few minutes?
>>44169389I'm sorry alright, but I can't do bugger all when the opposing force could wipe out everyone here. And not everyone would go against them anyway.
What am I expected to do? The Praetorians can 'accidentally' let her escape but they're loyalists. Regimental being plebs or not, they ain't gonna throw down with Daemon Hunters for anything, not even their own CO's.

But as Inquisitor, I must assist you with the examination. We cannot allow it to fall into the wrong hands
>>44169444Uhm, nothing? I am just dicthing the plot. I mean do you expect an unsanctioned psyker to do anything against the exorcists?
>>44169428
what the?
>looks around
Whoever is saying that, im warning you! I Usually torch people who says things directly to my cranium.
>>44169465
Could you repeat that? I got some static.
Hop in the steam group chat if you can, helps with organising RP if needed
>>44169437
Let us speak in private, Sister.
>ushers her into an empty room, as two Exorcists take guard at the door
Now. Tell me who you are, your background, and how you came to be with a penal regiment. I will warn you that I will know if you omit anything that would be of import to me...She isn't fucked completely if she tells him the whole truth...
>>44169480I already said that steam ruined my last rp experiences, so no, thanks.
>>44169441
Im here. over.
>>44169457
Do not try my patience, Inquisitor. It is already in safe hands.
>>44169461This could work. It's possible to shift the blame to the Artefact and that Totally-Not-An-AL-Infiltraitor Inquisitor perhaps?.....OR DO WHAT GARY SAID. THAT WORKS TOO.
>>44169474
shit. shit. shit.

>>44169530In case you did not notice I am being "rock fall"ed here, so whatever, at this point.

>>44169567
HALT THERE! XENO! YOU COME ACTING AS IF IN PEACE! EXPLAIN AT ONCE!
>>44169444
So... anything you want to hunt in general, Alice?
>>44169580We were willing to see it, nobody knew we'd have "suddenly: exorcists" last thread.
>>44169580People have been in worse situations, I think Gary at one point was about to be stabbed in the face by a angry Eversor because he wouldn't put on a hula skirt. But he turned out fine
>>44169567
Wait, wait.
Lets do it gently, this guys are fidgetty.
Announce who you are first before appearing.
The last thing we need is a diplomatic indecent.
And summary execution is the last thing i want.
>>44169580
They are incomplete. I should like to hear your version.Oh, we're still interested. The Necrons may create a situation in which you escape...
>>44169619Wasn't that Ron?
>>44169609
>stops in his tracks
The, uh, honorable inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos and I have signed documents that make me the um... Necron ambassador to the Imperium. Also this is my planet.
>>44169630Yeah it might of been
>>44169543
*being I hearing distance, walks over*
Erm, hi. Yes navigator, ugly and such. Ahem.
Anyhow, there is something warp relates, don't worry, it's not you, but the surgeon right there might be able to help you with the other thing if you want.
*points at Rogan*
>>44169614
Come now lass, this is about what -you- want. Emperor knows that you deserve a break....h-have you ever -had- Rn'R before?
>Alice's tone is slightly nervous, but is tinged with genuine concern.
>>44169580I'm willing, but bloody Exorcists don't fuck around. But seems like Gary is throwing bones. SILLY CATACHAN YOU'RE INVOKING THE WRATH OF SAHARDUIN.
>>44169645TBF I think my saharduin intervention saved him that day, and today my Artifact Intervention isn't managing to save anyone.
>>44169629
I am afraid I have got nothing, brother. I can't seem to remember some periods of my life, for reasons already included in the files.
>>44169614Whatever, I'll just wait for Amelia to be blammed and make a character that is less plot relevant, I guess can't fuck up that.
>>44169653
No bones. I mean, Amelia is not an evil chaos cultist as of now.
>>44169658It's beutiful to think a possible murder, followed by a attempted murder led to the start of the greatest friendship the imperium has ever seen
>>44169653
Rn'R?
>Is afraid to ask
W-what's... what's an Rn'R?
>>44169647
Ay don't worry navigator i got my fix right here. And i think you should take old-doc into the infirmary, he seems unconscious.
Wait a minute! How you get in here! I booby trapped the entrance!
>>44169680
.....'Rest and Relaxation' lass...you um...didn't know that?
You relax on base, sit around, talk to mates, maybe go out on the piss....err....go d-drinking?
Sorry, the Instructors and s-some of the lads from the Regiment, the old one, m-must be rubbing off on me.
>>44169666
Amnesia then. I'll believe it for the time being, but let it be known that something is very wrong with you. As such, my brothers and I shall be watching you.
>places a specialized tracker on her back
Now it seems we have a most unusual xeno situation.
>stalks outside to see Nyzart
>>44169717
This is highly unorthodox, brother. I ask you to remove this tracker unless the Inquistion approves it.
>>44169702
Aw, shucks. Ol' lady said somethin' 'bout a chance of "vorp-rafts" followin' me fer a while. This it?
>>44169707
N-not whilst on service... these days out of it have been... Relaxing though, enjoyable even.
>She's muttering less, and has certainly stopped shaking in nervousness, now that Alice is actually holding her hand, but she may be blushing even more than before.
>>44169717
>Attempts to stand in formation with the rest of the guardsmen wearing his new fancy disguise.
>23K tries to do the same but can't decide where he want's to line so keeps shoving guardsmen out of their positions.
>>44169702
Eeeeh don't tell other people but I can bend the Empyrean so that I disappear some place and reappear elsewhere.
Wait, why did you boobytrap what?
>>44169635
Necron. So it seems you plainly bear a writ from the Ordo Xenos. My duty is to destroy you on sight, but for the Inquisition's word, I stay my hand. Now I hear that your tomb is upon this world. Explain your purpose with this regiment.
>>44169702
Dolan. How'd the storeroom turn out? I just finished with the camera lines. You run into any problems?
>>44169730
It has the approval of the Ordo Malleus, Sister. It shall remain.
>>44169702
Dolan. How'd the storeroom turn out? I just finished with the camera lines. You run into any problems?>>44169768
Whoops
>>44169734
Mhm, rest'll do you some good. Now, what shall we do? Rest at the stream for a few minutes then go find some 'game'?
>>44169755notice me senpai
>>44169755
Oooooh so he wasn't a Techpriest after all.
Hey necron! What happens if you look into my eye?
Ok guys, it was a blast until it lasted. Keep having fun and maybe next time you play, put "quest" on the tag, it happened that threads like this got cancelled for not having it.
>>44169780
>"She called it a 'game'"
>"That means it's entertainment."
>"That Means this could actually be a date."
>"Oh throne I was not ready for this."

>Thumbs up
>23K also gives a thumbs up
>>44169635
Hey, Nyzart. I might need your help, There might be a something horrible in the works... that's a space marine... *whispers*well shit... no this is good, we may be able to win.
>>44169755
Uhh.. Oh great Marine... I uh.. May I ask what you are doing with Nyzart?
>>44169835
*looks at them*
Ah you're the guys who don't queue?
>>44169755
I simply required their assistance to reclaim my rule over this world. Gaining inquisitorial allies was... an added bonus.
>>44169810Oh come now, you still have a chance. Perhaps one of the Guardsmen might remove the tracker...
Also, sorry I dropped the Exorcists in this suddenly, I talked about it on steam, but I ought to have waited a thread. My sincerest apologies.
>>44169810B-but your character still lives! You can still become the next saturday morning cartoon villain! Just that the Exorcists will be coming when you do it, but that doesn't mean you can't do it!
>>44169731
no. no. just calm down at watch were you step.
>>44169751
>squeamish
umm.. that's classified?
>>44169776
*picks up vox*
All good jackson. its as hard as a rock.
>>44169861
Indeed. It is preventing bloodshed at this very moment. But it is clear you now have possession of your desired rule, yet you maintain an interest with these Guardsmen. Why is that?
>>44169810If it makes you feel any better I was expecting you to cause a massive battle. So I planned accordingly
Just take the Power Armour off and wear Carapace instead. I think if a Space Marine slapped you on the back hard enough to put the tracker through the armour, you'd need a medic.
>>44169816
See? Now you're getting into it! Come on then...time to have some....fun....
>Alice's turns slightly colder as she says "fun", possibly, maybe.
>She then drops into a crouch and gestures for LIX to follow, tapping a button on the side of the Carbine as she stalks forward.
>>44169887
They are still on my planet, no? I feel that I owe them my hospitality at the very least.
>>44169864Sorry if I wanted to play a well developed antagonist and not just have her go full villain without reason while you and alice are somewhere else.
>>44169862
Perhaps, perhaps. But since the only thing I can do is just to switch to full villain now, but without the only thing that could have ensured that I don't get blammed 3 seconds after, the heresy box, I know I won't have fun with it. Whatever.
>>44169895
I expected to play it out. If ti makes you feel better. But against the astartes? It is like bringing an autocannon to a CCW fight.
>>44169883
... Step? *points at wheelchair*
>>44169860
>looks at 23K who looks back. They both look at you.
>They both shake their heads with a big grin on their faces
>>44169918
yah know what i mean. Just stay put.
I kinda forgot where i planted the ordnance.
>>44169883
That's great. If you turn on terminal #2 you should be able to cycle the camera feeds. do you know why there are Marines on base?
>>44169906
>tilts head, rather taken aback
Truly? Very well, I shall not prosecute your... dynasty, provided you do nothing to violate the trust the Inquisition has placed in your hands. And if you must travel with them when they leave, you shall do so alone, and disguising your true nature.
>>44169917oh for the love of god, we've all made characters that didn't play out the way we wanted, just have her an hero over the fact she is a psyker and the very thing she ought to destroy if she bores you.
>>44169899
>Follows the lead.
>>44169917Oh boy you wanted the artifact? I can maybe make it damper with the thunderhawk's controls and force it to crash? I have already said it in the Steam Group, but the artifact does actually hold a dark secret.
>>44169960
Gary.
>>44169917I recommend you slip out of your armor, and escape while the Exorcists are distracted. Perhaps the Dark Gods will aid you once you are away...
>>44169961
That is... fair. I am glad that you did not turn out to be members of the deathwatch.
>>44169917I expected you to turn evil and mind control Alice and the assassin then the Prantorians under Alice would probably follow her, because she's their commanding officer, and you'd have a bigger chance at success. I'll happily leave them outta the loop if you want to because i'm not supposed to like them too much.
>>44169961
WHAT? WHATWHATWHAT? BROTHER, YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS BEING AS A FOUL XENO KNOWN AS THE NECRONS? AND YOU'RE LETTING IT GET AWAY?
WHAT HAPPENED TO KILLING THE XENO AND PURGING THE MUTANT?
*looks at him, eyes narrowing*
OR DOES SOMEONE HERE NEED A SMALL REFRESHING LESSON ON THE "BURNING THE HERETIC" PART?
>>44169987
He's got some friends in high places. Damn, I thing I just got more scared of the guy.
>>44170009
Haven't we already been over this?
>>44170009
OH SHIT. Wait. Sister. There is a perfectly good explanation to this. Just give me a moment.
>>44170020
ARE YOU STILL A FOUL XENO? YES. THEN WE SHALL KEEP GOING OVER IT.
>Decides noone really cares about him being a 10 foot shark like xeno wearing centurion armour and looks at 23K and shrugs
>23K looks back with a "Let's blow this joint" look and starts looking round the base for some fresh Guardsmen to terrorise.
>>44170015
You'd think he'd be in a nicer place with friends like that.
Anyway
>looks at the security feed
Things are fine here for the moment. They took away the heresy box, so thats a breather.
>>44170034
>If he still had eyeballs, they would be rolling.
Got a chance and switched from laptop to PC, joining steam chat room now. (I'll be leaving it on when I have to go to work in about half an hour. So if you want to message me I'll be back to read it.)
>Is still backing away from anyone important
What the living frak is the Inquisition doing here? And was that-? I thought astartes were a myth..! ...Maybe it was just a really jacked Sister of Battle. Yeah, that's much more likely.
...Hot.
>Finishes stashing the food and finds himself at a loose end
Okay, food that's not cardboard mush: Check. Booze?
>Reaches under his regulation (and heavily patched) jacket and retrieves a can of rotgut
Check. Helmet and gun? Not check. Right, guess I know what I'm doing then. Now where the hell did I leave them..?
>Starts looking for his most beloved belongings and freezes upon seeing a pissed-off sister and a god-damn metal skeleton. The can in his hand crumples with a slight squeak of twisting metal
>>44169980
>drops prone, pulling LIX with her as she starts to pull the -thankfully olive drab- camo netting over the pair.
Heeeeelloooooo.......we've got a couple of Kroot...tap the button on the bottom left of the scope, it'll sync it with the 'Light, then you just point and shoot.
>Alice aims at the the first Kroot, the advanced equipment dutifully transmitting the target data to LIX's Rifle's scope.No aim roll this time....it's too easy a shot.
>>44170004I would have tried eventually.
>>44169969
Usually not because suddenly superhumans come down from the sky and invalidate you forever.
>>44169980
>>44169994
Goddamn people, it is not "what I wanted" but "whatever I could do is invalidated because Space Marines arrive literally three in game hours after Amelia is just as suspected to be a psiker.
I mean, clearly you were not cool with letting me do some stuff. Fine, I mean, I get it, don't worry, I am not angry about it.
>>44170009
>>44170034
*pulls out data slate and types on it*
Look. Here is a an Inquisitorial document that states he is working for the inquisition and assigned to this regiment in secret.
*sweats*
>>44170048
*whispers*
Just roll with it
>>44170048
ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?
>>44170009
Believe me, Sister, I am outraged that an Inquisitor would sanction xenos in such a way. I desire nothing more than to shatter this presumtious upstart xeno, but it will cause far too much trouble to ignore the Inquisition's mandate. Besides, you have not yet done anything.
>Gary comes over to her
Its ok, sis. come and sit down, catch your breath

>Alice watches with a small grin on her lips as the Pulse shot slams into the first hostile's head, with the second dashing for cover behind a rock.

ah..
umm..
Jackson you might wanna step in on that argument, its getting pretty heated.
>>44170115
Indeed? Shall we battle now to prove the superiority of humanity?
>>44170122
I am not so radical as you believe, sister, I merely follow the law of the Imperium! But arm yourself, we may yet be able to purge these xenos!
>>44170160
>LIX is following the remaining Kroot with her rifle, shooting it.
Bloody hell now I understand why Vindicares feel so confy on doing their job, they're literally laying on the ground to do it.
Something's wrong, Alice?
>>44170115
*is visibly shaking*
Nyzart. Please let's get away from the angry sister and Marine that can purge us in an instant. Please let's go there's bigger problems like that corrupted one.
>>44170113
G-G-Gary. P-please calm h-her down.
*starts pushing Nyzart away*
>>44170177
I'm trying. I'm sorry that the two things I fear most are not listen to me.

*Quickly leads Nyzart to the med bay store room* Alright we have a big problem. But first, here this is a data slate with a document saying an inqusitor told you to stay here. The inqusitor is actually dead so don't let people look at it in great detail.
Now we have a corrupted psychic sister here and she can influence people's minds. I need your help to defeat her.

The Vox is unfortunately silent, but, Amelia would possibly feel a vague sense that something is wrong, along with a rough direction to travel.The feeling or not feeling is up to you bruh, I don't know how strong or weak she is.
>>44170312Are you a bad enough dude to kill an unsanctioned psyker?
Which of your comrades is showing psykic abilities?

Why, I am putting a bolt in my head.

... No, I don't.
And I don't know how to drive a Tauros but I guess there is a first time for everything.
>Amelia doffs the power armor and tosses it on the ground, before taking the driver seat.
It is in moments like this that I curse myself. If I had to be a psiker I would have liked to be something useful at least.
