>>46750806
Chaos, you say? I may need to take notes, conduct research... Maybe even autopsy him if I have time...

>>46750837
'Ey! Just where do you think you're going with all of that?!

>walks in horribly confused but happy that we're back on the Penance
Does anybody have any idea what happened?

>>46750867
It's not usual for a normal guardsman to be shot at the neck, have his nerves burn from the neck downwards, loose all mobility and then recover like if it was nothing...

Then again he is a pariah, so I suspect far something darker behind this miraculous recovery than Chaos...

>>46750879
Get back here with the booze ya bastard! That ain't yours!

This is why alcohol is forbidden by protocol in most regiments...

>continues to run
fine!
>throwing the crate at the tank commander he slips into the hanger.

>>46750882
Well you see, your pet fucked with the Achilles, which you were supposed to stop, so the Ordo Malleus scuttled it after pulling the crew off the ship.
>The Armsman doesn't look that happy.
I fail to see why you're alive though, given you caused the mess.

>>46750952
He what now?

>>46750935
Thank you!
>Stops chasing Larrs and grabs the crate.

>>46750877
>Walks back to the Valhallan group with the crate and cracks it open, revealing the -presumably- alcoholic contents.
Hey, help yourselves.

>>46750923
I think it's more about the drunkard Eldar who can drink the entire storage room dry and still walk straight

>>46750952
Ooohhh... she's going to be so sad now... this is why I tried to keep her a secret...

>>46750965
Already I'm doing the name thing. I want to molest myself with a Claw Hammer.

>>46750923
Alcohol? Forbidden?

Yuo try forbid alcohol I cut off tongue!

Yuri, Kiril, davai.
>Two of the valhallan specialists walk over to the crate, and squat, grabbing as many bottles as they can carry

>Dmitry smiles and resumes smoking, adjusting his eye-prosthetic to eye the bottles

>>46751002
Sir, I neither have the authority nor the will to forbid Alcohol, it was just an observation!

>sliping into an already stocked small ship he starts it up.
>taking a sip of something purple he sets off.
goodbye friends, have nice if not short lives.

>>46751002
Ah, yes. You must be the Valhallan detachment I have read so much about.

>>46751030
So, Corporal... what's on the mission order today?
>starts to go through a small bag of candies

>>46751030
Ah whatever idi nahui. Wait... why call me sir?

>Dmitry asks
>The distinct lack of insignia on the valhallan black stormie gear is rather obvious.
>None of them seem to wear regimental colour, any kind of insignia or anything that would clarify their rank and where they come from.
>Their behavior just is rather...sterotypically valhallan, with all the squatting, smoking indoors, loud music, brawling, drinking, and the valhallan low gothic slang...

>>46751063
And who the fuck are yuo? And why the fuck do I need talk with yuo?

>>46751072
>Checks his notes.

Uh... nothing sir... oddly nothing at all was issued by the Ordo Xenos.

All we have is that little thing that interrogator wellesley left to Othellan, reason classified under Inquisitorial encription... which I don't have access to.

>>46751072
I-i heard ti was a daemon. Daemons are fuckign scary... l-lady Anna says to tell you her divinations aren't helping either. She says it is because of too many necrons messing the warp up around here.

>>46751089
Sir, seeing your uniforms, you clearly are in charge of a stormtrooper group, seeing that this is an inquisitorial regiment now, it is safe to assume you're with the inquisition?

>>46751102
>stops as my eyes go wide
Wait a second... d-do you know what happens when we don't have a mission...
Wait another second... That means I'm in charge... Crap... I don't wanna play baby sitter...

>>46751154
'Ello, I'll baby squash
>salutes.

>>46751154
Sir?

>>46751127
Which one? The one who died by xeno? The one who died by heretic? The one who killed himself? The one I shot? The one who was actually heretic? Or are you telling me there is an inquisitor here that I'm supposed to bow down to and lick his shoes?


We're with ourselves. Yuo need help ask some shiny. I don't have time for shiny like you.

>>46750957
He compromised a ship, so the Ordo destroyed it.

>>46750976
I wouldn't worry about keeping the secret mate. Rather pointless really....

>>46751199
Shiny, sir?

>>46751089
Inquisitorial acolyte, adept Callidon Novus. I'll leave you for your business, but I may have an assignment for you later. Rushing B and removing things, so to speak.

>>46751182
>looks slightly panicked
They're going to break so much stuff... and the booze is already out...

>>46751168
>looks up
Hello bob, how are you?

>>46751200
She was only trying to help... you people are so close minded...

>>46751002
Who is the Tank Commander. One imaginary money for whoever knows where he's from
Oddball.
>The Tanker offers Dmitry a hand.
Y'don't mind if I take a bottle of that do you?

>>46751035
>Oddball suddenly feels an explicable feeling of sadness.

>>46751256
>grins
great, if not a bit...
>leaning in close his eyebrows wiggle
legless.

>>46751289
>sighs and puts my head in my hands
...are you missing your legs again or are you possessed by a long dead member of our band of misfits...

>>46751256
Mhm, yes, compromising an Imperial Warship to the point it had to be destroyed, and this was once again, done without consulting anyone. If this is your idea of helpful then I don't want to see your idea of deliberate damage.

>>46751316
legs are gone boss, got new ones, they real shiney and chrome.

>>46751333
You are g-growing more and more metal each d-day, you k-know...?

>>46751355
I know roight.
>grins down at her.

>>46751331
Well Improving it's systems to operate smoothly at 200% efficiency is great. Having a bunch of idiots overreact and destroy it is not great... I have not done any deliberate damage because I know it'll just become a pissing contest with Alice...

>>46751400
Again, deliberately compromising the systems of a Warship using an entity forbidden by our Lord, and purging the taint is overreacting?
>The Armsman pauses and looks visibly shocked.
HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE YOU IDIOT?!

Ahem...but uh....you do know that the Ordo has more than one Interrogator in it right?

>Circles the corridors, seemingly analyzing the ship.

>>46751400
I agree with greater efficiency, but we need to be careful with how much we control the change, and how much it controls us.

>>46751445
>Is just there, watching this armsman disrespect a superior officer.
How... low have we fallen already?

>>46751216
Unless yuo have something I want, can point me at something I want, or have direct order of inquisitor for me, I won't do shit for yuo cyka.


>>46751214
Yuo are shiny, fresh. Yuo are yuong shiny.

Armor squeky clean. Shiny. Clothes clean. Face shaven. Yuo are a shiny. it look like yuo even have all parts of own body left.

>>46751277
Go ahead, is okay.

>>46751474
Very low. That is something we should try and hide, if not fix, should we go to assist my master.

>opens a door leading into the corridor.
Free piece of advice, if I were you, I'd start running.....Inquisitor Matthias.
>And with that, the Armsman disappears as the door closes behind him, much like his fellow.

>>46751552
I shall not question that. If I may, as my presence seems to be unneeded for now, I will return to my calculations on optimal warp-routes.

Hello again, good day?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tub5csVUG2k

>>46751523
So what are doing in penal regiment?

Yuo work for inquisitor big deal are cannonfodder anyway, like me. We all are. Work for inquisitor, emperor, or just some rook fresh off boot camp, all we are is cannonfodder, only reason this regiment still stands is because none of yuo, or us, refuse to die.

And what is wrong with skin? Yuo shave? Is big deal? Not part of code of rules or what?

Yuo need to ease up. Yuo in penal regiment. Inquisitor or not is still penal regiment. Yuo are here to die. And maybe emperor forgive for whatever crime yuo do, and judging by temper and having much need for follow rules... What happen to yuo to make yuor ass replace brain?

Ease up tovarisch, take drink and squat with me, we can talk about losing half face, or like Kiril, he lose manhood...

>The valhallan, not really sure if he's acting hostile or friendly does both, changing his tone every other sentence.
>But he does invite you to his private squatting corner to drink
>Drunken rabble? A slip of words? Or just ignorance?

>>46751547
I UNDERSTOOD YOUR REFERENCE

Positive? Only thing positive is that like every day, we may all die today for emperor!

>>46751617

There was no daemon, so yes.
The inquisitors are making a big mess again, and ignoring us soldiers. This is heaven...

>>46751654
sounds like today is going to be a good day.

>>46751647
I will politely deny the drink, sir. I don't... drink. Not anymore.

>Meanwhile, in Warp Transit to Othellan.......
>The Interrogator is slaving over intel reports and dataslates.
Hrmh, we don't have forces onboard to pacify an entire planet.....we'll need to find the VIP and then try and resolve it quietly, less we need to drag outsiders into this, the better.
>Several of Alice's retinue nod with the plan, while the Inquisitor who owns the ship looks on with an emotionless expression.

>>46751450
>Proceeds to medbay.
>Begins scanning the area too.

>>46751604
I've been running far too long...
>grins as he hold a piece of hair from the armsman
Time for me to make a stand...
>Starts walking towards the lab.

>>46751617

There was no daemon, so yes.
The inquisitors are making a big mess again, and ignoring us soldiers. This is heaven..

>>46751679
I could try to hear onto some rumors with the scum of the planet, make use of my polymorphine to pass undetected, someone must know where she is... or what is happenning in there.

>She doesn't seem any happy about doing some ops to rescue the heretic that almost sacrificed her planet.

>>46751689
Where are you going.
And with what intent, more importantly.

>>46751689
I will assume that is a yes.
>returns to his mobile lab

>>46751743
>is still in the lab, waiting
howdy doodly doo!
ya want some toast?

>>46751672
Okay whatever yuo say.

If need anything just ask... we might have eeh...access to some more... rare things

>The valhallan squat circle laughs with their commander, flashing contraband weapons and equipment, melta charges, painkillers, improvised blades, IED's... a jar labeled "Ork piss" prosthetics...

>Shenanigans being two of them brawling and the rest watching while drinking and chainsmoking lhos

>>46751731
No. Follow me. I may be in need of your help...

>>46751687

You, ya little fuck. I got a few questions for you...

>>46751760
>eyes the jar of piss nervously.
where'd ya get that?

>>46751724
Anything that helps, but we'll need to make it quick, this vessel, as fine as she is, isn't exactly inconspicuous.

>>46751795
We don't have the troops to do so anyways. And with her there, she might have already corrupted the local millitia or worse, the noble houses in charge of the planet.

so whatcha doing mr toast lover?

>>46751877
You've made quite a mess with the Rogue Trader cruiser, your little pet is more resourceful than what I thought she surpassed the vessel's machine spirit that I could not tame... at least not without calling attention.

>>46751877
I don't need anything like that NOW, NOW I need you to tell me what we are doing.
Yes, WE, because since when you pushed me on that bed, your privacy ended. Completely.

>meanwhile, back on Othellan
Yes, yes. Send her in.

>>46751853
I'm not so sure she is, I mean she seemed perfectly normal for a Sister. She didn't even ask for alcohol once, which is unusual for her....
>Alice on the other hand, does seem convinced of her innocence.

>>46751877
Alice did....in theory, but it's possible the healing didn't stick or got worn out again by moar divination.

>>46751834
Not really THAT much of a SW fan

I'm getting bored now. Yuri! Check our inventory, I want know if we need something, now while we still have time.

>The valhallan brawlers pretty much beat eachother's faces in, just to prove their worth to their commander.

What kind of heresy have you done on this AI? Placed a soul into it? Encased life within its code?

An AI is just an AI, inquisitor, they're not alive, they're even less than a Necron Authomaton as those did have a life before at least.

Well the way she talks and acts leads me to believe that she was actually a girl at one point in time. I didn't make the connection at the time but there was the skeleton of a child near the data core... I think she's not a true AI just the consciousness of a girl transferred into a data core...

Do you think I'm mistreating the good people of Othellan? The quality of life has improved exponentially since I deposed the last coward. Production has increased. Nary a tithe has been missed since I took the throne. And you'd have it go back to the way it was before.

Johan, clean up is always on me... no one cleans up...

>>46753287
I wasn't done with that, yet... When was the ship blown up? I'm seriously having memory relapse here...

>>46753326
Last thread, I think you missed part/all of it. The Achilles Crew Teleported the Regiment off the ship, imploded the Talos, teleported off themselves then Alan's Fleet nuked the Achilles.

Equally important was that there was some sort of 'Daemon of Gluttony' that consumed things and gained their powers.....it ate a Necron. Time to worry.

>>46753326
I did, when you went awol.

>>46753375
I remember the last part at least... I'll have to reread it...

>>46753315
Well is seems that it was scuttled by some overzealous Malius agents... It seems I'll have to work on outer projects till I can replace it...

>The Valhallans return to their designated squatting corner

>>46753474
Well I thank you kindly... It wasn't AWOL it was a kidnapping...

>>46753482
Just double checked, it wasn't -explicitly- stated, but it was however ordered to be 'taken care of', in a manner that would imply it getting shrekt.

>>46753501
Same thing, you went missing then all you responsibilities were dropped on me. Even the medical ones. We lost a lot of good troops during those times.

>>46753482
Hmm. A pity. In that case, if I may, I will return to my projects...

>>46753536
Well that's a minor monkey wrench into the gearbox...

>>46753552
I'll try not to let it happen again. And if it does, medical will have plans set in place.

>>46753589

>>46753552
>Had been leaning on a corner with a recaff cup all that time.
They did give you what responsibilities again?

>>46753629
Hmm... Let me see... Ah, yes. When Larrs left, he also left me a box full of Eldar objects. Would you assist me with analyzing some of them?

>>46753710
Yes, I'll help you. I'm quite good with Eldar equipment.
>smiles
Where is it?

>>46753737
Here.
>shows him the box
I am especially interested in the qualities of the material this knife is made of: Wraithbone. Its physical capabilities, how it reacts to psychic energies, its structure and the possibility of creating similar materials.

>>46753636
Apparently almost all of the orderly and medical duties. Technically im still am, the reprimand order still hasn't gone through the administratum.

I am still the Chief Orderly and Medical Officer of the ship. A scary thought i know.

Yuo see this? I take this from heretic inquisitor. Before removing like kebab from existence.

Yuo have much courage, I respect that. And I respect yuo.

But even though I respect yuo, does not mean I can babysit my men all time.

Now, yuo want stay alive and not torn apart or thrown out from airlock, yuo show respect. We hold record for "longest surviving penal regiment" and for reason.

Yuo want survive? Yuo respect others, is actually funny. We have highest mortality rate for commissars in comparison to other troops, in all of imperial guard.

So yuo take hint, show respect others, and we will give life for yuo.

Yuo stay with piss for brains. And maybe yuo wake up to Emperor saying that yuo were stabbed to death in sleep for not show respect.

We are ready to die, but it does not mean we will die for asshole like yuo.

Get off yuor high horse and realize, that yuo, are surrounded by scum. Deadly scum. Angry scum. And if yuo don't respect men who fight with yuo, yuo are worse than scum.

Kiril, are yuo deaf or do yuo want meet emperor? Put that thing away!
