Alright, gentlemen, last I remember captain Elizabeth wanted us all in a meeting about two hours ago. How come it hasn't started yet?
>>46031134
I would like to be brought up to speed on... recent events.
>>46031134
>the Eldar just shrugs as he eats an apple.
>>46031162
Mylord. We dropped for a search of...
>Checks data.
Amelia, believed to be sorcereress of chaos, refound as sister.
Not much more than that, other events are classified under the big I's encription key
>The Armsman once again appears where needed, or perhaps merely where he feels like it.
Reason it hasn't happened Corporal is that there was some shonky business in one of the Cargo Holds, then the Hereticus decided to be stupid. So....same old, same old really.
>>46031162
I too wish to be brought up to date
>the man is no later nger wearing his gloves allowing more of his grey skin tonshow.
>>46031247
>no longer blame his speech therapist or something
>>46031197
>>46031247
I'd like to expand further on the information but since the regiment moved into Inquisitorial Tutelage I've been out of my usual radio frequencies, most info that comes in is classified. You'll have to speak with an inquisitor or... perhaps a stormtrooper for more, sir.
>waking up in the small bed with his arms wrapped around the sniper Mot lets out a small sigh.
>today was already interesting.
>>46031233
Hope a solution is found quickly then, you don't just make a rogue trader captain wait this long, inquisitor or not they have bussiness that are also vital for the imperium to attend.
>>46031247
>>46031162
>The Armsman bows before both before standing at attention.
Well sir, Mi'Lord, short version is that the Prisoner of War that was held on this planet was rescued, the corrupt House Vandarr was destroyed and we have proof of a further source of corruption that must be destroyed, and hopefully will be soon.
>>46031275
I think I'll do just that
>he does not move
>>46031306
Yes, sir I will look for a stormtrooper to-
>>46031304
Or the stormtrooper will come by himself...
>>46031304
And what about the large green fellow, the mutant commissar, who is he?
>>46031327
He's commissar?! I thought he was just a high-ranker! I didn't know the imperium allowed mutants to become commissars.
>Remembers someone saying that the "Commissar" was an ork.
Wait a minute... it can't be it is actually an ork, can it we'd have noticed by now?
>>46031134
Does that include me? I'd like to get my mind off my work for a while...
>carries a half-empty bottle of wine
>>46031343Can it?*
>falls from a vent, bottles in hand
I know what happened!
*hic*
>>46031351
Maybe, The Captain wanted to address with every officer from every branch.
>wandering the halls searching for AliceI'd just like to remind everyone that I am also Behrend and Nyzart.
>>46031343
>the commissar chuckles
He's wearing the hat so I just assumed. If he really is an Ork then good luck to the man picked to take the hat off him.
>>46031375Ah, Vargard Aytuh was Eta's real name right? I just hope he is walking under his assassin disguise right now, you don't want the commissar asking why there's a Necron Sniper in the ship.
>>46031389
>Salutes
If ordered to take that hat I will do so or die trying, sir!
>Muttering
And probably I'll get the chance to kill something too...
>>46031327
Bob sir, rather curious fellow, but he is an alright bloke.
He's tough and he doesn't get scared by anything, just as a Commissar should be sir.
>>46031394
[Spoiler]I think the Eldar, Ork and sniper are his bigger worries[/spoiler]
>>46031407
That won't be needed, I trust this regiment to not let any Xenos infiltrate it.
>>46031394Of course!
Delta? Alice? Ron?
>>46031432
>the Eldar lets out a snort of laughter.
>>46031433
Eta?
>Smiles after seeing you walk by.
Hadn't seen you in a while!
Alice is reunited with Jackson right now... they're discussing some important matters at hand, but I am free to talk if you want to know anything.
>>46031374
Good. I'll just put this here and get my notebook...
>walks awayI'll be busy for about a hour, but I'll pop in earlier if possible
>>46031448
Ahem.
>>46031432
I'm more worried that it's not that they infiltrate, but rather that we let the door open ourselves...
>>46031455
What is the regiment up to nowadays? I'm on a mission for Nyzart currently.
>>46031416
Commissar Bob, a fine human name, who ever heard of an Ork called Bob hmm?
>>46031448
>he chooses to ignore it.
>>46031375
>Alice would eventually be found in a Munitions Depot, looking through weapons and going through the Lhos
>>46031475
We're...
>The smile fades away.
We're investigating my home planet...
>>46031491
Certainly not I sir, Bob is a fine guy.
Hrmh, would you wish for a drink sir? Or perhaps some food?
>The Armsman produces a box that when opened would contain either Shrike's favourite alcohol or favourite fast food.
>The Backpack of an Armsman is a magical place.
>>46031491
>The Ork laughs
roight boss, no Ork would ever call 'imself Bob, it'll be a roight daft Orky name.
>>46031526
Yeah, I know the feeling. My homeworld got blown up by Alaitoc. Good thing I went into stasis on Gospyria. Anyways, good chat. I'm going to find Alice.
>walks away nonchalantly
>>46031492
There you are!
>>46031492
>Walks in
"Whoa, slow down there on the lhos, cowpoke."
>Smiles and begins looking through the weapons as well
"All solid pieces, but a bit conventional. You broke the news to Five-niner yet, or would you rather I do it?"
>>46031560
Do you perchance have any crisps? Ready salted they were a favourite on my home ship
>>46031566
Ah! At last we meet.
>>46031596
Hey Greely.
>>46031598
roight ya are!
>the Ork shakes his hand.
>>46031615
"Hey Eta, or whatever you're going by now. What's new?"
>>46031593
>Sees the necron leave.
A-alright... take care...
>Sighs.
Why do I have the feeling everyone is keeping something away from me?
>>46031593
>grabbing the Auspex handset from her belt, Alice flicks it to scan for living beings and, finding Aytuh to not be one, relaxes slightly.
H-Hey man.....h-how's business.
>>46031596
>Alice also does the same for Greely, and finding him....roughly as inorganic as his augments would suggest, relaxes slightly again.
Too busy, w-we're screwed, shadowy people apparently want us for something and they know -everything- about us.
>Alice just goes back to smoking Lhos at this declaration.
>>46031598
>Looks through his backpack for a few moments and nods his head.
Ready salted.....ready salted.....ah yes, here we are sir!
>Offers Shrike a few packets of ready salted crisps.
>>46031644Eta doesn't actually know about Kent.
>>46031638
Not much. Nyzart's asked me to retrieve a few things for him and I thought I'd stop by. You?
>>46031627
>shakes back
Bob I take it?
>>46031690The feeling is there tho. As for info goes she doesn't even know the regiment took Amelia in yet.
>>46031695
you ain't takkin me name mate, dats my name it is.
>>46031688
How come you always have so much food in that bag? You don't save any space for your equipment?
>>46031668
"We're always screwed. But it's not so bad. Come on, you've killed Rubrics! How bad can it be?"
>>46031690
"Oh, all sorts of crazy things. Like always. Apparently there's yet another group of shadowy people interested in us."
>>46031725
That it is Bob
>>46031688
You my friend are a life saver
>pops open a bag and munches.
>>46031731
I've got plenty of equipment in here, look.
>The Armsman begins to pull a variety of weapons and equipment from his backpack, albeit only equipment that -could- fit in there.
>A Shotgun with the stock removed, Bolter, Grenade Launcher, Laspistol, Grenades, Flamer.....a contained labelled "Pho--h-x: DO NOT OPEN WITHIN 5 SECTORS OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT TO GO AND STAY GO"....which he hastily tucks back in with a nervous shrug.
>He follows that up with a few Soulstones and a suitcase nuke.
>He then stuffs everything back in and it....all fits.
Did anything catch your eye lad?
>>46031774
Not a problem sir.
>salutes non-nonchalantly
>>46031833
That shits not regulation son.
*drinks*
I mean, where's the liquor? And what are you a mobile armory?
>>46031833
>A suitcase nuke.
>Beneath his gasmask and all that gear he's gone pale.
>Luckily no one can see it because right now he feels like he's dying inside.
N-negative... you just remembered me some ghosts of the past.
>>46031833
>points at the bag
I'll give you six bottles of whiskey for that Soulstone
>>46031735
No no Greely you don't get it, I mean they know -EVERYTHING-. Say you have some sort of vague dark secret of the kind that will get you killed on no time flat by the Inquisition....like.....uh...you had some Khorne in you or something.....
>Alice waves her hands in the air at the absurdity of the suggestion.
.....they know that. It's not possible, but they do somehow.
They KNOW and they want us for something. And we don't get to say no.
Oh and to make things worse they -are- Inquisitors....so we can't just kill them.
>>46031833
An impressive selection of treats and goodies.
>he's more relaxed now.
>>46031875
>Seems kinda annoyed.
If nobody needs me... I'll just... go... and find something to punch repeatedly...
>He salutes before leaving the zone.
>>46031887
Sounds like you have no choice but to go.
>>46031874
>>46031875
>The Armsman repeats the process, this time with various bottles, cans and even a small cask of top shelf alcohol, as well as an equally expansive variety of -legal- Narcotics.
I've got plenty of stuff in here, I think I've even got some of them pills that let you forget specific things.
Uh....just think about what you want to not think about, swallow the pill, think about it for 10 minutes and poof.
>>46031886
Hrmh, I'll give you five of them for six bottles and Eldrad's signature, some tosser from an Armoured Reg bet me his Executioner that I couldn't get it.
>The Armsman pulls the aforementioned five Soulstones from the pack again.
>>46031907
I aim to please sir, or if faced with the enemy, I aim to kill.
>>46031962Forgetting to unname already, off to a fantastic start senpaitachi. Urgh.
>>46031962
My burden, if I'm here is for a reason, might as well remember it.
>>46031962
deal, I have it here,
>pulls a slip of paper with a doodle of a dick and "best night I ever had love Eldrad" written on it
>the bottles are already on the table.
>>46031887
>Is unnerved for a second at that, but relaxes. He never submitted to that daemon, not for a fucking second - Malal only wants servants that choose him freely - being considered as a candidate could be seen as enough by more fanatical inquisitors.
"So what's the worst possible outcome? We die horribly? Isn't that a ordinary day for us?"
>>46031962
If things ever go south Armsman. Do kindly allow me to hide in your pack.
I shall not surprised to see a frigate or two in there.
Also here.
>places a bottle labled "gut wrencha!" in the pack
Have a good one.
>>46031985
As you wish....
>>46032005
Done deal.
>The Armsman gently sets the Soulstones on the table, then grabs the bottles and paper, which get tucked into his pack.
Noice! I'm coming for your tank Peter and I want the Hunter Killers too!
>>46032051
I think that can be arranged, it's a lot bigger on the inside.
>inclines his head at the bottle.
Appreciated.
>>46032081
>the Eldar kisses one of the Soulstones and puts it to his ear.
I have just the contraption for you my friends.
>>46032081
>The corporal just walks out towards the mess hall.
>Once there he stands a few seconds trying to relax before starting to punch a wall.
>He goes like this for a few minutes, leaving a dent with the form of his fists on it until a guardsman comes asking if he's alright.
>The guardsman recieves quick punch to the face before falling down unconscious.
>Taking a few breaths as the guardsman's friends carry him out of there, the corporal would later continue punching the wall.
>>46032020
Lock us in c-cells like animals and use us as lab rats again? T-that's certainly worse than death. I don't even need to s-say that we won't die quickly.
>Alice tosses Greely a pack of Lhos and starts on a fresh one herself.
>>46031958
D-death might be preferable.....I don't want to be locked up like some sort of f-freak. It's not even my fault....
>>46032124
"They don't do anything for me anymore. Lung filters, remember? And why would they lock you up?"
>>46032124
>death might be preferable
>deadpan stare
>>46032124
>>46032157
>Knocks at the doorstep.
Uh... do I come in a bad moment?
>>46032205
>stands next to you looking as stressed out as ever
Can't be that bad
>>46032081
Oh yeah, in case you get yourself into trouble, you can also use it as flamer fuel.
>>46032205
"Is it ever a good moment? Never a dull moment at any rate."
"But Alice, let me ask you this. Would this clique want to risk pissing off the Wellesley family and Verasii's network at the same time?
>walks swiftly away from the groupnin order to set up base.toodles
>>46032157
>Alice looks around the Depot and sweeps the Auspex over it a few times.
>Paranoia is real.
A-apparently....I....uh....d-don't stay injured? L-like.....I'll get....err....one of my kidney's blown out and after a while....at least a day I think....it's...uh.....there. As i-if nothing happened.
>>46032197Come now, that's hardly fair, Necrons never die, they're just waiting for their Protocols.
>>46032205
M-maybe just a little?
>>46032240
Most appreciated, I might actually have something for you.
>The Armsman offers Rex a box, that when opened, would contain the most desired consumable of Johan Rex.
>>46032278Cya in a bit bruh.
>>46032226
>>46032157
>>46032124
Well now that you're all here, I guess I can expect you all to talk about the big problem... and to inform me a bit of those operations you've been taking each of you on your own, you all seem to know what the other's planning and I'm all out of the circle!
>in his room the daft Eldar sets about placing the Soulstones in small toy soilders made from wraithbone.
>the 5 toy soilders move around in awkward confusion and bump into each other before looking up at Larrs, 4 of them thank him for his service the 5th knows who he is.
>she screams in terror and babbles about the great defiler before attempting to sabotage her Soulstone housing.
>the toy soilder drops to the ground in silence.
>Larrs is not happy
>>46032276
Greely. All they want to do is talk yet she's screaming bloody murder. And making me say go fuck yourself so four Inquisitors!
>>46032326
>raises a brow
>takes the box
>dubious of the contents he takes a peek
*gasp*
Can it be?
It is.
>>46032357
"If they know everything about us, then they know that. and that could rightly be a cause for concern. They'd also know about my "stalker" and your "pet."
"And we have no leverage to use on them."
>>46032357
>>46032402
>Stands up from the wall he's been desperately attempting to blend in with, evidently with a good amount of success.
"Sal'uila, Inquisition..." He half spat. "On the homeworld we say sal'uila. It would mean to continue on, there is nothing for you here. In a poor translation, someone might say 'hit the road'. It seems that you are all concerned about these information leaks, yet you do not check the room you speak in confidence for an intruder or devices..." The Initiate starts walking to the corridor.
"I mean, I know my people are proud hunters but this level of lying in wait and you levels of attention are lacking."
>>46032402
Well I've been trying to get some. If I had more time maybe I could have gotten some outside info on them but this the game they play, they get info on us and present it to scare us, apparently that worked very well.
>points to Alice
If I wanted to play back I would get info on them and it would go back and forth until the meeting and whoever had the last 1up usually has the upper hand during the meeting. But they don't expect us to play back with the total information grab they played. But that means they've played themselves into the corner. They have nothing to counter with. If we strike back now. Are you all following?
>>46032378
Terra 41 triple distilled!
Its not even Sanguinallia!
>>46032333
I.....I-In a moment lass....I.....I need just a few more Lhos....
>>46032357
>>46032402
>Stalker?
>Pet?
>Oh well, he's reasonable so thank the Emperor.
That's easy for you to say you fuck! You turn in some fresh lab rats and you get invited to their little club while we get experimented on, likely by you of all bloody people for Emperor only knows how long until they get bored and fire us into a sun! If 'all they wanted to do was talk' then they'd come to a system of our own choosing and use a bloody Vox.
But no, we have to go to them, we have to come without any backup, oh, and we can't bring any weapons. No. Fuck you and fuck them.
>>46032486
And our friend here is still right.....but I do it anyway. I need to get away from all this nonsense, maybe then I'll be able to focus...
>>46032550I should go to bed, this is ludicrous. Bloody norah, cannot stop messing up today and it's early.
>the slips out a smal tincan and string
grog? ya there mate?
>"yes I'm here ya daft git, 'ows da infillytrainshun goin?"
Dey fink I'm a kommystar, it's gunn be roight good when I get ta meet da emprah, I ain't gunn krump 'im either, just shake 'is 'and and the like.
>"what do ya mean ya won't krump im? ya daft git this coud make ya the ruler of da ummies!"
it don't work like that ya grot, they'll just get upset wiff me.
>>46032539
What, uh... how much do these shadowy persons know?
>>46032665
They know everything about Alice, Greely and me.
>>46032550
"She's right. This stinks like shit. We both have our own inquisitorial backing we could invoke to make them come to the table at some neutral location. Hell, I'm ~practically~ an inquisitor already."
"For all I know, Jackson, your friends are Phaeonites who are pissed off about the Gassing trick Verasii pulled at her last tribunal."
>>46032550
Alright, wow wow wow, slow down there, Alice.
>She hugs the interrogator.
Just follow my heartbeat, and relax, alright? I want you focused for what is being discussed in this room.
>>46032696
>Leans back against the wall he was hiding on, doing his best to not show how amusing this situation was to him.
"It seems that I am out of the loop as to who is what, why and where they're going with these things. It is the Inquisitions duty to know things that they should not and ruthlessly attempt to weasel their way around the entire galaxy to get their own way, is it not?"
>>46032696
And... potentially their allies?
>you know what he's getting at
>>46032722
>>46032745
Did either of you listen to what I just said >>46032539
>>46032759
That's what there doing and yet they made an error in it. They revealed everything at once. meaning they don't have a 2nd strike if we get info on them.
>>46032785
Yes potential allies
>he's not following
>>46032722
Phaenonites here? That would be most worrisome... I had thought they were too weak a faction to be able to exist at points of space this far in between...I'm back
>>46032823
Did they mention anything about Nyzart?
>>46032823
Is she still going about strapping a nuke in her chest?
>>46032823
"My homeworld and the Chapter have suffered them while they catechize and berate our legacy. I promise you, the wise do not show their whole hand, only the back of it. Wait until you see what's in the palm."
>>46032823
"Ok, so what do we know about them?"
>walks in, rubbing his neck.
Throne, there wasn't even a pile of rags to sleep in. Murder on my spine.
>stretches out his back, painfully
Gah-Emperor, this hurts. So what's going on?
>>46032844
They know of our alliance of him, they probably know more but nothing relevant to this.
>>46032831
There no Phaenonites. I worked in the labs and... the labs... they still have the relay open so that means I can communicate with the labs! I can communicate with with the lab heads! Your a genius!
>>46032886
Yes I know of a similar saying but in there haste or ignorance they fucked up.
>>46032905
..I hope you have ~her~ with you, acolyte.gtg for a while
>>46032917
I... I am?... Of course I am!... In some areas of knowledge, at least...
>>46032937
>looks momentarily confused
Her...?
>remembers
Oh, yeah. She's locked in my room. As a precaution.
>>46032956
That chick you banged?
>raises eyebrows
>elbows Ron a couple times
>>46032996
>>46032996
you smashed a chick squig?
>>46032900
I've found 4 of there informants here. it's not a main point but it'll help it. And since I can get in touch with the lab heads I can get details on there hush hush projects and use that against them! Hell we might even be able to get them to send one of them to meet with us!
>>46032996
>frowns
Yes, she's the one.
>sighs
I can't see it happening again, with what I've had to do. I have to keep doing it, too.
>>46033023
I would like to talk with her as well at some point. It could help us here.
>>46033020
Y'know, I'm considered one of the best infiltrators in the sector. I could go take a look for you.
>>46033057
>looks defeated
That's your problem, sir. I'm pretty sure she's still asleep.Amelianon said she'd be late last thread
>>46033073
>Grins to himself.
>>46032917
"I'll opt to not crush your ideals, but know that we the moment comes, it will be quite amusing."
So since we're not killing the threat, you lot can fuck about with it, I need to actually accomplish our objective.
LIX, go get changed in to Elina's uniform and meet me on the landing pad when you're ready.
Anyone needs me.....ach, Central'll comm me.
>Alice exits the Depot and heads towards the landing pad outside the main bay doors of the Cruiser.
>>46033113
M-ma'am.
>Nods in agreement and goes to her quarters to change.
>>46033091
It'll be okay. I mean she didn't react to you being a blank
>>46033106
We'll present it before we enter the warp and they'll be astonished that we played back and of there blunder. It'll be a sight to see.
>>46033149
Delta can you tell Alice that me and my troops will be on secured line 23-2. If she needs us.
>>46033203
Of course.
Hey uh... I later want to talk with you about this... polymorphing machinery these infiltrators carry around, if it wouldn't be a problem?
>>46033203
"Shto?" The Initiate stared at Jackson with a complete and utter look of disbelief.
>>46033227
Yes of course but it's not as bad as you think.
>>46033282
yeah... well we'll see about that, gotta catch up with Alice... see you guys later.
>Leaves.
>>46033113
>She'd later walk to the landing pad with her disguise ready.
So...
>>46033326
>follows
>While waiting at the Pad, Alice lights up another Lho and attempts to contact Captain Tray.
"Captain Tray? It's Elizabeth, I.....have to give you some bad news, best to tell you in person. Can we....head over there?"
>>46033355
Affirmative, mylady, albeit I am busy, if you don't mind chatting whilst I oversee some operations?
>Against better judgement, the Initiate follows the group to the landing pad.
>>46033282
Seems like you and your colleagues have your own problems... Would you prefer I leave as well?
>places a data-slate on the table
>>46033326
>>46033412
"Erm.....for -some- of the work, yes. The rest I fear -must- be in private, it is an incredibly delicate matter. It has to do with the bombing yesterday."
>'Lizzie' gestures for 'Elina' to get in the Valk and does so herself.
>>46033345
>points to the Land Speeder and gestures for Behrend to follow them.
>>46033441
>eager for action the Eldar slinks behind the group to the landing pad.
so we uh, peaceful today?
>>46033461
>Embarks.
... Alice... what is going on, where are we going?
>>46033450
It seems we're the only one left here.
>>46033461
>>46033441
Care to join us, initiate?
>>46033482
>Looks over with a raised brow at the strangely lithe figure.
"I've got no idea any longer. My instincts just say that there may be some fighting to be done."
>>46033501
>Finds a safe space to situate himself into.
"Let's get this show on the road."
>>46033461
I can work with that.
>>46033461
>>46033485
>drops down from the scaffolding onto the speeder
Alright boss lady, what's on today's agenda?
>>46033555
>shrugs
so where is death world girly and the music man?
>>46033461
Hey!
Need a chaperon, mam?
>>46033573
That's what I'd like to know.
>>46033498

Aye lads, we're going hunting, strap yourselves in where you can. Oh and don't kill anyone from House Tynnus please? I'll give you bribes if I have to.

Affirmative mam.
Strapping in.

Nah. I just gotta call in some favors to some lab techs and hope for the best. Until I get a response I'm just on back up for Alice.

House Kent is up to some shadowy business. I have been trying to catch them with their hands dirthy but...

I have another story to tell you, girl. But it's gonna wait till after the mission. If you can go, I think you should. It'll either help you to take part in the purging of the Kents, or, well, it might kill you.

>>46034489
I am not used to taking vacations, Laroque.
>>46034424
This kind of thing just doesn't happen where I come from, but I'll humor you.
It's pretty simple. Kill them like any other monsters, cause they literally aren't human anymore. If you look back on them as they once were, fine. Just let that fuel your rage. They were once pure, now they chose not to be, and let their betrayal of you, their daughter, drive you to do what must be done.
>>46034488
>Once again he is found waiting whilst training a new batch of house guards. The more riots that fall under control the more recruits Tynnus seems to gain out of the newfound order.
You will find that the pulse carbine is way lighter than the standard lasgun the PDF or the Guard is issued with. It allows for faster fire with almost no recoil at all for a human being, more precise than any full-authomatic weapon found in the Imperium. But also much less durable. Don't expect to find a machine spirit for the tech priests to praise here, this weapon is Xeno in origin and it needs you to look after it, not a set of rites of ones and zeroes!
>He still hasn't noticed "Eliza" has arrived.
>>46034502

Never? Well, I'll be sure to change that.

Some time in the future. Other, seemingly random question; what is your opinion on friendly Necrons?

P-promised? You w-won't betray me?
>>46034502so she doesn't remember Gospyria?
>>46034530
Xenos can not be friendly. There is only one way to treat with them.
>draws her pistol to better convey the message
>>46034543
I've never betrayed anybody,
>performs a cross over his chest
I swear to you.
>>46034505
>Thinks about those words.
Don't get me wrong I do want to kill the fucking Xenos that did this to my family... slowly if possible. But... I can't just stop thinking of all the moments I had wished my family was there when I was alone... and of the few memories I have from my childhood...
How can I use that as an anger fuel if these memories are all I have left from them?

>>46034569

>>46034608
>It's like she's believing those words without need of any proof, probably in a hope to find a excuse for her conflicted feelings to arise on.
T-they really chose to do this? They chose to ally with the Xenos? A-after all this time? All I-I sacrificed for the Imperium the-they leave it?
>>46034650
