I assume you lot actually have a plan to take care of whatever mission you have here? Perhaps now would be a good time to enact it, after what happened yesterday.
>voxes the base at Watcher's Point
Has anyone seen the interrogator or her enforcer?
>Still in that cave with Alice.
So... what now?Thread title pic related.

Took a Vendetta out on recon sir. Do you need to contact them?

"Tell me, after all this, did we lose anyway?"

Err.....suppose we can check if any of this equipment is usable? Weapon or two might be good....or perhaps the tank....

Equipment seems intact.....power might be out, but that'll be a five minute fix, just need to find a toolkit so I can get to the engine.
I have seen these threads before, could somebody tell me what the bloody hell is going on?
Rolled 58 (1d100)
Just checking for heresy, don't mind me
>>44874725Short answer is that a Penal Regiment(That may or may not have been inducted by the Inquisition, as they are want to do) full of [strike]lunatics[/strike] unique Guardsmen goes about the Galaxy sorting fixing things and removing Chaos because everyone else is incompetent. Basically one can just make a character and do whatever they want. Orks or Necrons for example.
I could prepare a slightly longer version if you wish it so.
Also that picture is amazing.
>>44874762
Thank you, yeah, I mean I know a lot about 40k lore, its just I never know how to contribute to the threads.
>>44874725https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Campaign:Penal_regiment_designation_/tg/ Extra Heresy, that's what
>>44874783Just make whatever you wish and jump in, like I said, we've got/had Orks, Necrons, SoB's, Space Marine or two, whatever you fancy.
Oh and it's also not 100% serious, but at the same time not 100% comical either. Just...go nuts really.
>>44874740
I found some heresy, just going to purge it and then I will be on my way
>>44874824
Cool.
>Finishes his morning prayers and starts to walk around the base.

[spoilers]Though Inquisitors themselves are usually NPC's, even if the characters are high-rank operatives. Gonna be in and out a lot during the AM today (EST)[/spoiler]
Greeting human kin, how do you all do today on this fine evening?
Right. What's the plan, Greely?
>>44874841
Of course it's old lass, it's pre-Crusade.
>Toolkit in hand, Alice climbs out of the turret and starts to work on the engine.
Most of this stuff is too.
>>44874903
You sure you know what you're doing with that? Maybe want to call a techpriest in or something?
>>44874932
If you can find a Cogboy that won't try and chant at it out here then go ahead, I'd rather just fix it.
>Alice finishes with the work and replaces the cover.
Try the Engine will you? Should work now.
>>44874874
Did- did Nyzart send another agent?
>>44874966
I'm not sure we should be touching crusade era equipment without the supervision of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Alice...
>Kind of doesn't want to start the engine because of fear of it being possessed.
>>44874972
Who is this Nyzart fellow, I only here to get information about hum-our social data.
>>44874992
Wait, you're not a necron. What's going on?
>>44874981
You know how the AdMech is lass, shouldn't be touching the bloody thing at all.
Just start the engine eh? You worry too much.
>>44874898
"I don't know at this point. Chango just took out everyone Belk turned, and I recieved a comunique from Verasii saying a lot - but not all - of the heat he's putting on us is going to go away for a while. So we have breathing room to strategize."

No I didn't, as far as I know and it wasn't that bad, was just a bloody kidney...and maybe a bit of liver damage. Bloody Medic has no idea what he's talking about.
>Alice again climbs out of the tank and drops down to walk towards a few weapons.
I don't know what's causing it but I'm fairly certain it's not Chaos.
>>44875262
... Oh, those! Only time I saw one with the spikes still on was when it was taken to "cutter". Masters didn't like hidden weapons.
>>44875322

Huh, guess Greely is out now. Ah well.

Well good for you, padre. Though it's too bad you weren't sent sooner, when we were still a penal regiment and had some real bad eggs in the bunch. Now we work for the Inquisition directly, I got a battlefield commission I didn't want, and most of the worst dickheads got themselves whacked.

The proper thing to do against the forces of Chaos. By giving yourself up to Him and seeking his judgement, you glorify yourself.
But I'm guessing you're not aiming for a sermon.

Heh heh, well my original regiment, the Catachan 79th, had been damn near wiped out. Rest of us got assimilated into this horrendously soft regiment. We did most of their fighting for them pretty much. Eventually they fell in action and I was the only Catachan left. Then in one battle against some Nids I killed a Carnifex by stabbing it in the face, routed the rest of the bugs. No big deal, just did my job. Well the general didn't think so. I was laid up in the medbay after that and he comes in all pompous to present me with lieutenants bars. So I threw an empty bed pan at him and yelled that I work for a living! He was so mad he didn't bother to bust me to private. Just got rid of me. And I was happy to go.

>>44876500
You're the expert. I leave the judgement up to you.Would Jackson have access to Ministorium files?

And here i was thinking you were doing me a kindness.
>>44876615
Thank you. Well if that's all you guys need I have some business to attend to for a bit.If he wants or needs something like that he'll get it, but if he has no reason to look at the files then he won't.
>>44876615
Out of a job? Nah, not at all. You're as necessary as we Guardsmen are. Cause while Im an officer in the physical war against the Ruinous Powers, you're an officer in the spiritual war.

... I'm not even gonna bother with this... I just don't have the strength to deal with this today...
>>44876779
Ouch, we could probably have gotten you a new tank if we knew it was -that- bad.
>>44876788
Mmm, yeah. It is.
>>44876868
Nah, there's something special bout that one... Sometimes the machine spirit just chooses a man, yknow?
>>44876804
You're not stupid, Alice, you never do anything stupid... well... almost never... you must agree that dating an assassin is something really, really stupid to do...
>>44876895
Can't argue there sir, well, she'll at least serve you better now.
>>44876960
Yup. Oh and I just thought of something you can have the cogboys do. Take that autocannon you dropped to me and install it as a coaxial weapon. That'll add up some firepower...
>>44876850
Strenght? You need train?
>Wada starts to smile, having already decided how to spent the rest of the Day.
>>44876913
I thought it was a rather smart move, plus I wouldn't call most things to do with yourself stupid...but we both know I wasn't talking about anything to do with you lass...
>Alice finishes with the cleaning and starts looking around for crew equipment.
>>44876960
>>44876987
So... What exactly in the Emperor's holy name are you two doing in here...?
>Quietly sits, drawing idly in the dirt with his bayonet.
>>44877016
>Simply blushes.
Can I be of help to you with anything? I'm tired of sitting here contemplaying my broken arm while you work.
>>44876987
Aye, we'll see what we can do, should be...relatively easy to do, although unless you store it in the hull....which might be risky, you'd need to trade Battle Cannon ammo storage for Auto-Cannon rounds.
>>44877027
Discussing what to do with a tank.
>>44877016
>>44876913Something I'll mention now as a courtesy. The Iron Warrior Tarax is still alive. Yes he was nicked by a hyperphase blade and lit the fuck up by lasfire, but was never confirmed as kill. So he fell into a chasm with his weapons and there's no telling when he may reappear...
>>44876999
>A cold shiver runs up the recently transferred Sergeants spine, and he begins to mentally pray to the Emperor that he won't have to be sent immediately back to medbay.
No, I'm fine for now Trooper... My I do appreciate the offer.
>"Mighty God Emperor, I know you can hear me, so PLEASE don't let me get sent back to medbay by this Ogryn!"
>>44877092
Surely they can enlarge the turret by a few cubic meters for that?
>>44877103>PANIC
>>44877036
Could help me look for the crew's equipment. Helmets, Vox sets, 'slimmer' Flak Jackets....you know, the useful stuff.
>Alice finds one of said helmets and pulls it on, along with the Vox set.
>>44877103Could you please not? There are several other people for him to attack. Plz attack them.

>>44877156
>>44877163Oh don't worry, he won't show up now. And when he does it'll be all sneeki breeki. And others will likely be in his way...
>>44877163So are we still on Somerius? Or have we finally gotten off that Chaos filled hellhole?
>>44877196Erm......Alice and Delta are nowhere near anyone else. Also in a cave.
>>44877211We're still there for now, but there's only one real thing to do here so I think we should be moving out soon.
>>44877237Thanks I've been gone for a few weeks now and just wanted to check. Also whats that one thing we're still doing here?
>>44877211We're still on Somerius, yes, the situation just made worse by the addition of tension between the loyalist troops.
>>44877163
>Finds some helmets and a a few Flak Jackets.
Here's something... not any weapons tho...

>>44877263
Eh, was to be expected really, don't worry about it. You reckon we should stick around here or take the tank and head out? Doesn't seem to actually be any gear left.
>>44877293
We can't just leave the vendetta behind... Neither we can leave this ancient warmachine... what pattern do you think it is, even?
>>44877293Where are the two of you exactly?
I'm back. Is Greely still gone?
>>44877280
>The Sergeant would scratch the side of his head questioningly, not entirely sure where he is, let alone where the armory or quartermaster might be, since he's been stuck in medbay recovering from a civilians lasgun round.
>He'd quickly glance around for any signs that might point to an armory or quartermaster, but would sigh in futility at the lack of organisation.
I'm... Actually not quite sure Trooper... To be honest I don't even know where in this bloody maze of a base I currently am, let alone where a Quartermaster might be.
>He'd point in a completely random direction
Maybe try that way?
>>44877293Thanks! Perhaps someone should get on that... Someone good at scouting and blowing shit up might be good
>>44877357In the cave where the IW assaulted us, Alice had a feeling and we found an ancient tank, a power sword and a stalker bolter.
sorry to leave unannounced I had to sub a class where I work
>begins some physical training by running laps to warm up in the base
>>44877326
Centurion, not sure which mark, but I'm fairly certain I know which cannon it has.
>Alice tosses the gear LIX found into the rack then drops off and looks back the way they came.
I'll go Vox the Penance to send a pilot down for the Valkyrie?
>>44877357Cave a few miles away from everyone else, needed to grab some stuff IC and finally managed to actually get around to it.
>>44877422so... some kind of sniper? [/spoilerp

That would work...
and i'm back
"No lhos anymore, fuck..."
>Greely sits in the canteen, putting away what must be his third serving of hotcakes and sausage.

>The Ogryn salutes, before walking towards the Direction he had been pointed to.
Thank, Sir! Talk later.
>>44877525
Now what?
>>44877514
Mhm, sit in the tank and close the hatches, I'll be back in a few minutes.
>Alice jogs back through the cave to the Vendetta and uses the Vox gear to call for a pickup crew, which soon arrives to recover the Gunship.
>>44877575
Be safe... ok? This cave... it gives me a bad feeling... and bad dreams...
>Begins embarking the Tank.
>>44877600
>Left without a Valkyrie, Alice jogs back through the cave and back to the tank, before climbing into the driver's compartment once again.
You alright lass? Shall we get moving? Should be an exit big enough for this old thing....that way.
>>44877574
"Now, I finish eating. Then we pack up and go, apparently. Chango's already left to go back to his brothers."
"I'd like to do one last sweep and give that fuck a couple parting shots, but everyone else apparently has another destination in mind. Besides, not everyone needs to know about our new problem."
>>44877542
>As soon as the Ogryn is out of earshot and Eye sight, the Sergeant would let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding in.
Well thank the God-Emperor that's done with... Now to see about requesting a transfer out of this shit hole unit before I end up permanently attached to it...
>He'd quickly make his way towards Officers barracks, hoping to find SOMEONE who can explain and fix his current situation with this Regiment.

>throws a pack of his Fortunate Hits on the table
>sits down
You can keep the pack of you've got a job for me. What's this about Dark Eldar I've been hearing?
Back. Who's where?
>>44877668
Alright... let's go...
>>44877673
Excuse me Trooper, I believe that an official job with the Inquisition might be what you wish? We are always looking for skilled troops to join the ranks of the Stormtroopers....
>>44877683Welcome back man. And everyone but Delta and Alice are spread throughout the base, although those two will be headed back shortly.
>>44877683I believe all but Alice and LIX are still on base.
>>44877728
>>44877742Got it.
>Vimes wanders around the base, jotting down notes on a dataslate.
>>44877683yo
>Moves from running laps to rolling drills
>>44877678
Won't help, i'm afraid. My augs filter it out as poison.
The Dark Eldar, that's a long story. And it's one i've been trying to keep under wraps, but apparently acolytes talk like whores. The fewer people know about it, the fewer worrying about them coming from behind at any moment.
>Greely brings Gary up to speed on Belk and his Vendetta with Verasii, at least what he knows about it.
"Anyway, Verasii says she's managed to win us some breathing room, so we'll have time to strategize before they come for us again."
>>44877689
>Alice pushes the sticks forward and with a bit of a 'grumble' the old tank moves out of the cave and back towards the base.
Might want to put on a Helmet! Voxset'll help with the noise!Pic related, basically this but using Imperium logic of taking old stuff and just making it out of future materials.
>>44877819
>Wanders by him, stopping to watch.
So trooper, what got you out in this little group of ours?
>>44877832
Heh heh heh heh heh... Do when do we go and kill the little shit?
>>44877844
>Puts the helmet on.
Since when do you know how to -drive- a tank? You always bossed the crew around to drive it!
>In the courtyard with 40 men all with grav chutes, full carapace and hellguns.
>they're all lined up listening to Jackson as he paces in front of them
Alright, men. You're all the best of the worst. You've passed all the courses I've laid out for you so far, but Now we start the Drop Trooper section of the course. We begin drop practice tomorrow at 0800. Dismissed!
>they quickly salute then go off in small teams of five.
>Jackson looks very pleased at this
>>44877893
Well, that's the disagreement Jackson and I have. Jackson wants to go charging blind into fucking Commoragh, and I want to find his interests in the Materium and fuck with them and sabotage him until he gets so pissed off he comes for us. Of course, Haemonculus have a habit of not staying dead when they're killed, but at least we can send a message.
>>44877884
>stops and looks to the man
Sorry sir? Ohh, yes, I'm not really sure to be honest sir, it's not my place to ask questions, just follow orders and do my duty to the emperor.
>>44877898
Learned at the Academy of course, like the rest of the crews, why?
>The vehicle is making good time cross country, should arrive at base shortly.
This is a good vehicle, cannon'll make a mess of any armour we have to tangle with.
Much like yourself with Infantry....heh heh heh.
>>44877966
Greely. I assure you that it's not blindly charging in. It's careful sneaking with powerful backup.
>>44877973
Proper attitude, trooper. Service to He-Upon-The-Throne is what we all live for. Still, we also have our own stories in this life, our own paths that He sets us on. If you don't want to tell me yours, that's fine.
>>44877994
"...Jackson, you said you had a plan to save these people, and we saw how well that worked in the long run. I won't even consider this unless you can answer one simple question."
"Where's Belk?"
>>44877979
Well I had never seen you drive one... it was just curiosity... uh... thought of any name for the tank?
>>44877966
Huh! Well I'd say we should do both. Scout the damn place first, gather intel, plan out, and bring down the fucking hammer of the Emperor on those degenerate xenos. Simple steps, few moving parts as possible. We'll kill the target, and we'll send a damn strong message to all Eldar.
>>44878023
I mean no disrespect sir, I just don't really like thinking about the past and my original regiment isn't exactly the most popular
>he scratches at his arm uncomfortably
>>44878050
I never said I had a plan to save them. I said I had a way to detect corruption. The ones I saved were evacuated and deemed clean.
Belk? He's probably in Commoragh. I haven't had my sources actively looking for him yet.
But if we destroy his birthing pods he can't be reborn again. And where are those pods? In his spire in Commoragh, most likely near the top Floor 86 maybe. Somewhere around there
>>44878060
Mhm.....well armoured vehicles are usually disliked by the enemy because....well they're actually a problem.....'Old Contemptible' perhaps?
>The tank, certainly an old one and perhaps unknown to the troops there, nears the base, indeed just visible and getting closer.
What do you think?
>>44878129
"Hmm. Ok, Jackson, whats your plan?"
>>44878097
It's not a problem.
>Grins at him.
I'm a preacher, trooper, not a commissar. I'll talk your ear off before I point a gun at you.
>>44878150
Sounds good.
Shouldn't we send a message that we're friendlies before approaching any further?
>>44878129
>>44878167sure I mean, even jagathai fucking khan couldn't do it, but I will bet on you guys. From like, the other side of the webway.
>Takes a Look around the Base, after having gotten a new Ripper Gun.
>>44878224I'm with Anna on this one, we're not 100% into canon but boy, infiltrating commorragh? Just look at Nyzart, he came out of it but he was played from the very beginning.
>>44878167
Well. I get in contact with some old friends of mine and they get us a Dark Eldar raiding Skiff and some Dark Eldar armor. We'll be warriors of another powerful house so we shouldn't get much trouble at the gate and once inside we just need to place a beacon of sorts for our distraction. When Everyone is distracted we head to Belk's spire and destroy the pods and take any data that seems useful, maybe kill Belk if he's nearby.
>>44878208
You'll need to do it lass, I'm driving and you're closer to the Vox gear.
>Alice points to the Vox gear that's on LIX's right.I'm assuming LIX is sitting in the hull with Alice, if not I apologize and will Retcon.
>>44878224
>>44878254I agree, there ain't no way we're going near Commoragh, I mean if you guys want to do it then go nuts, you'll get shrekt, but go nuts.
>>44878177
>>44878097
>At this point, the Sergeant would have spent the last half hour aimlessly wandering the base, Malak would be even less sure of where he is at the moment.
Ok, so if I just passed the mess hall, and the command Center is a 5 minute walk west of here... Then where in BLOODY WARP AM I!?!
ARRGGH! THIS IS HOPELESS!!! Why is it that the Tech priests and architects who design these damn places make it so hard to find the Regimental Offices! All I want to do is figure out this 4th degree Warp Fuckery that are my transfer orders... Is that honestly so hard?
>>44878264
Did I ever tell you that I have a photographic memory? No? That I remember everything i see and am fluent in a number of alien languages?
Let me tell you something about the Eldar Language. The Eldar can have a conversation using their body language, a feat human bodies cannot replicate. And the Commorites are even more physically capable than their Craftworld brethern, If we're going to pose as anything, it will be as non-eldar traders.
>>44878306that's not the point. The point is, a primatch got lost trying to Follow, not even find, follow some DEldar there.
>A Blacked out, wheeled Tarox pulls up to the camp with a blood thirsters head mounted on the bonnet.
>The doors open and 2 guardsmen wearing suits climb out and open a rear door
>A large man climbs out of the back and adopts a atlas like pose.
"I'm back nerds"
>>44878177
Of course sir, but I've seen some pretty combat ready preachers
>>44878264
That's a ballsy plan Jackson. While I respect it for that, what do we do if they figure us out too quickly? And Terra knows I'd never be mistaken for an Eldar. I'd never even fit into their armor.
>>44878348I never said they would actually GET there, just that they would get shrekt.
>>44878354
Throooonedammit... not him again...
>>44878328
>Salutes
Training field sir, do you need some help finding your way?
>>44878339
My contacts are Eldar with a bigger grudge than normal. They know of a well used portal and through studying them literally forever and minor illusions. We should go undetected long enough to set the distraction.
>>44878328
No need to be so upset, soldier. Have faith in His plan for you. If you are meant to find your transfer then you will.
>>44878357
Being able to purge the heretic and the alien is important. And I'm always ready to fight for His cause, but that doesn't mean I'll shoot you for not telling me your story. No need to be nervous.
>>44878306IDK, Greely's probably way slicker than a space marine primarch
>>44878409
And what is your distraction?
You are aware the fewer of us go, the more chance we'll have of success, right?
>>44878306
>LIX ponders with the Vox equipment.
Uh... Penal Regiment /tg/ this is... Delta Fifty Niner... we're approaching over the south with a newfound vehicle, don't open fire, I repeat, don't open fire.
>>44878354
>A Massive Chill would run up the Sergeants spine as he gets the sickening feeling that he might be thrown into a dark pit that ends up in the cities tram system once again.

>Wada looks like he wants to test his new Gun.
>>44878444
>>44878439
>Taps his com
Hold your fire, men.
>>44878437
Well several other teams will go in before us and into hiding. The device we place will open a portal to an Ork infested world. My contacts have promised them good fights in the past and more in the future. They will then charge through the portal causing the distraction. The only problem is that the Orks might attack us if they find us so we need to move fast after opening it.

>>44878500
Hmmm... I feel there's too many ifs here....
>>44878500
During that confusion we do what we need to and the Eldar do what they need to then we head to the extraction portal they will set up in one of a few areas.
>>44878536
If's like what exactly? I'll happily take any concerns into account.
>>44878404
> Turning towards the Trooper, Malak would let out a sigh of relief.
FINALLY! Someone who seems to know the layout of this hellhole... Everyone else I've talked to doesn't seem to know where ANYTHING is...
>Realizing that the Trooper is still saluting him, Malak quickly collects himself before nodding back
At ease Trooper. To answer your question yes, I'm looking for the Regimental Offices here on base. It seems there was a bit of confusion with my transfer papers and instead of another Orvustillian Guard Regiment, I was transferred into your Penal Regiment, So I am looking to get that fixed. It was apparently signed by one "Lieutenant Jackson" so I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
>>44878500
That's a terrible fucking plan. You're basically escalating from "Fuck Belk" to picking a fight with the entire city, in addition to the Emperor-damned Harlequins.
>>44878517>Taylor Schwifty
My sides...
>>44878439
>>44878497

>Wada shoulders his Ripper Gun and turns to watch the new Arrival.
>>44878517
>Confused Wada copies his Pose, wondering what a Biceps is.

Like if we move quickly enough to get past the orks. And if our disguises check out. And if the Eldar don't fuck us over.
>>44878517I'm both disgusted yet oddly proud that you made such a shitty joke... The only thing that would make it funnier was if she was an ork
>>44878576
T-the nightmares....?
>>44878563
The plan was laied out before the Belk incident but can be adapted to this situation.
>>44878597
The Eldar will not fuck us over. I trust them. The disguise part will be the riskiest part, I admit that. But It's busting into Commoragh. It wouldn't be there if it were easy to get into.
>>44878559
Of course sir
>returns to ease and turns to the preacher
Thank you for your time sir, but I should really show this man to the regimental offices, praise the emperor.
>Gestures to Malak
If you care to follow me sir I'll lead you there.
>>44878629
No.....at least....not now, we'll talk about those later alright?
>Alice looks like she -does- want to talk about that, but that other business takes priority.
What I refer to now is the fact that the bloody Medic is lying through his teeth to us lass.

Harlequins?
>>44878677Oh boy. What did I do now?
>>44878670
>He'd nod to the trooper before motioning forward

>>44878677

Busting into Dark eldar home, eh? Sounds fun...
