Well apparently those thronedamn groxdicker paper pushers in the Ordo Hereticus thought it was funny to give me a job and then suddenly tell me they don't need me. So I'm here on an extra Thunderhawk wondering what the hell just happened.

To make things even better, I got a vox message saying that old Commissar Gaurun has reappeared! So I've got a few questions for a few people!

>>47872085
Engines are at bare minimum sir, we had a bit of an explosion, after having. Tyranid infestation. But it's fine now. You should be focusing on the planet below us. We fear it may also now have a Tyranid infestation.

Fuck, I forgot to title the thread.

>Can´t find a commlink or a station to respond.

>Is looking for the other regiment members in the meantime.

>>47872202
Very well. Are there any ground forces that require orbital support?

>>47872189
Who the hell is Commissar Gaurun? Some former Commissar honr rogue? Is this like that "Ameila" incident we had when Miranda wanted to eat that child?

>>47872278
I heard he was an commissar from before our time here. Apparently he was the one first assigned to this mess.

>>47872258
Admiral, the WHOLE ground unit may be infected.
>>47872246
Hawthorne, you alright? Don't worry about the comms, half the ship is dead from the explosion.

>>47872322
Dead, electrically, mind you. Not physically. God do I know how to set off a bomb. First I blow up power to half of Tranch's largest hive city, now this.

>>47872278
Yeah he was in charge a long time ago. Back when this was a normal penal regiment and things weren't so damn strange around here. Well, relatively speaking they weren't....

Anyway he's a decent man, and coming from a Catachan that's saying something...

>>47872370
Things were ever NORMAL around here!? I find that hard to believe... I've read some of the earliest posts, including g the field kit inspection which was HILARIOUS

Do we just have to find a new power source or is this ship doomed?

Wait- You did this?

Penal regiment Theta Gamma is authorised to deploy on the surface. Keep your weapons ready, sometimes the muties have welcoming parties waiting for landers.

>>47872447
I'm going to assume you meant before being pulled in by Jackson, near the end of the Somerius campaign. In which case, I was stationed within the 277th Orvustillian Mechanised Infantry Regiment as an NCO and a demolitions expert, before it was wiped out during planet fall.

>>47872491
Patrol Group Hephaestus will provide orbital support where needed.

Anyone else play BFG?

>>47872461
It's a.... long story. Most of which includes being pinned down by infected fellow guardsmen and minor tyranids, along side a tech priest, Agent Greely, two guardsmen, and four servitors.... oh and the use of a makeshift bomb out of various explosives from armory 27 on deck 8.

>>47872565
I would have by now, but back on may 4th, while heading to flgs to run dnd,, a little 8 year old girl destroyed my laptop with a rock while we were waiting to get on a bus. Hence why I'm on my phone

>He looks around slowly before heading over to an unguarded post.

This is Trooper Boer, reporting for duty. Anyone here? I...I don't where am I and the ship's power seems to be down...

Missed a couple of threads. What exactly happened after the regiment got off the Spess Hulk?

Just passing by, probably won't stay to play today.

ATTENTION!

I've recieved a message qualified as important by our inquisitorial overlords:

Due to the recent events, namely a explosion that shaked the whole ship, a fake wall that sepparated the section of the regiment taken by the regiment from the rest of the bunch was broken. Thus, much chaos has ensured over the last days.

A new set of rules and codes of conduit have been issued:

#1 You may not share your meals with the non-inquisitorial personnel, they haven't earned it.

#2 Under no circumstances shalt thou give them access to inquisitorial records, channels or documentation whatsoever, by no means should they be allowed to roam over your section of the ship.

#3 Despite not part of the inquisitorial batch, Gaurun is still your superior and can issue any order he sees fit, as well as executions.

#4 You may not roam their section of the ship unless strictly neccessary, terminate any witnesses that are deemed fit to uphold the secrecy of your duties.

-PS: You don't share Cargo Bays with the non-inquisitorial Penal Regiment, that hole in cargo leads directly to engineering, stop trying to smug Amasec to their side whoever's doing it, we don't want drunken tech-priests again.

you have NO idea! It was a $1200 laptop, filled with a lot of personal things. Many of which can't be recovered due to the damage the inner components took (the caseing is fine, just the screen and all the inners are shattered

Holy hell, you are billing the parents, right?

Eh, details. I like to have several backup plans just in case plan A goes to hell. And since plan D wasn't accepted, I went onto use plan E(xplode everything within 180 feet). Would have been more contained If not for the fact I was in a rush to set it up.

"Why do you think the "Herald of Imperial Goodwill" is here? Well, besides me winning it from a Judge in a high-stakes card game. Crenshaw will be relieved to be able to return to Verasii's service if the Captain's amenable to taking command of her."

"Not sure what we'll do with the Penance though."

>>47872971

"Jackson! I've been looking all over for you. I was about to break into your Lab when one of your boys gave me holy hell. And where in Holy Terra has Alice gotten to?"

I'd suggest hanger three, port side. Area should be intact, as well as close enough for you to board one of the Penance's remaining Dropship for when we go down to Tranch
>>47873042
Trust me. At this point, anything else that happen to this ship would be a mercy.

Hey Hawthorne! Sincs you decided a while back to switch over to good old cadian style flak armor. Would you mind bringing your old tau armor down to hanger three when you have a moment? I want to test something.

Imperial ships are made of armored plates, hence they can survive a few hits of ship-to ship weapons with minimal damage, but when you start shooting inside, the damage gets extreme surprisingly fast. Subsystems, fuel vents, plasma reactors, and all that is most vulnerable to fire on the inside.
