Penal Regiment /tg/: Somerian Funeral edition.

>>45033349
>looks across
I'll pay respektz

>>45033318

Where the hell did Rogan get the resources for all this?

>>45033349
Just tell me the time and place and I'll be there. I have something nice prepared.

>>45033408
The books I had shipped here but the Medallions I really don't know. He had a lot of strange hard to get stuff.

>The Ogryn patrols the mahllways with Jacksons map.

>>45033418
In a few minutes... half an hour tops...

Everything is preppared, a set of transports are arranged to drop in and later pick back up those who wish to assist.

>>45033359
Indeed it will, perhaps if you serve long enough you will survive to the quota of campaigns till release is filled. Judging by your character it seems you may have a chance.

>>45033349
I never knew the guy, let alone heard of him before today, But I'd be willing to pay my respects to a fallen soldier of the Imperium.

>>45033473
Should we tell the Commissar about this meeting? Some of my men reported him in the Chapel.

>>45033493
Actually... he was an eversor... managed to die of old age rather than... well you know...

>>45033349
>>45033468
>Wada overhears and stops his patrol to walk to the hangar.
Funeral always rough.

>>45033497
If he wants to assist he should be at least aware of it, inform him.

>>45033508
A fallen servant of the emperor deserves to be remembered. I will attend your funerary service.

>>45033510
>stopping the Ogryn in his tracks the Ork sighs loudly
woz a Funnyral?

>>45033473

I owe him that much.

>>45033444

>inspects the items

>>45033343
>To assist with late events concerning my failed servants, a little literature... Shortened to your clearance level, of course. Yours truly: Mister I
>Dusk Folklore
>The Mara Incident
>Seven Devils of Dread Calyx
>Calixian Radicalism: Necessity or Weakness?

>>45033478
Thank you sir, if you don't mind sir I've a funeral I must attend.
>Stands and salutes.

>>45033526
Alright.
>taps his comm-bead a few times

>>45033478
>A few of Jackson's drop troopers walk into the chapel and approach the Commissar
Sir, I've been told to inform you that the command structure is having a meeting for an upcoming deployment. Your presence is requested immediately.

>>45033584
>after reading the note and titles Jackson quickly puts them in his pack and returns to the meeting.

>>45033526
I'll be there obviously....along with a few Stormtroopers.

>>45033584

"Lemme see those once you're done."

>Snatches the medallion with his name on it

>>45033538
>Wada looks up at Bob and has an uncharacteristic sad look on his face, as if he did not like the topic.
Funeral is we bury the dead in under the earth. Pay respects an´mourn.
>The Ogryn looks away from Bob.
Mostly mourn. Sen´dem to Emperor.

>>45033609
>Wada calls out to Jackson.
Sir. Was Omicron the one in shuttle on somerius?
>The Ogryn almost does not want to hear the answer.

>>45033539
I made them able to be forgotten behind enemy lines and survive. Also to serve as shocktroops if the need be.
The names were random because the drafting came from anyone qualified to join
Also, I was really bored so I wrote all that up

>>45033567
>the medallions use proscribed methods of pentagramatic warding to protect the wearer from daemons
>proscribed due to the ease with which they can be altered to assist in summoning or binding them instead
>only Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy have the knowledge how to create them

>>45033600
Emperor protects, Guardsman.
>>45033609
>Nodded, taking little time to make his way toward the Bridge and assumed meeting rooms
>>45033567
>>45033526
>>45033493
You had need of my presence?

>>45033671
>the Ork nods is large head and pats the Ogryn on the shoulder.
we din't 'ave stuff like that..
>muttering to himself
it'll be un-orky

>>45033671
Yes he was.

>>45033668
I think we should pass out these to the proper people. Rogan used these symbols to ward off daemons

>>45033713
Indeed.

>>45033703

"Commisar, you missed the presentation. But I'll go over it gain for your benefit. We're going to be shutting down a necron satelite before they can launch an attack on a hive world."

"There are to be a number of strike teams to be deployed, your team will be deployed here and sabotage here, here, and here. We will be using the teleporter for this, so if you're not trained for that, i need to know."

>>45033713
>The Ogryn stares into the air, remembering but the moment his life was saved and he knew the man for but a few seconds. Wada starts to walk behind the Lieutnant.
Gonna take part. Where to go?

>>45033703
Commissar, I think these gentlement here want to include you in a plan of theirs, they'll fill you in with the details. Also you're invited to the funeral down below if you wish to assist.

>>45033672
They sound good, although for this Op I would say to drop the Null Grenades off the Sgt for another few Kraks, since Necrons.

>>45033708
>>45033671
>Approaches the two
Hey guys, you here for the funeral too?

>>45033801
As soon as the Commissar gets caught up to speed we'll head down to it.
>taps a few buttons on a data slate as a shuttle is prepared.

>>45033824
Done

>>45033708
>The Ogryn glances back at Bob, before continuing to follow the Lieutnant.
Your Home doesn´t respect people dyin´?

>>45033849
Wada simply nods.

>>45033793
Teleportation is regrettably the safest mode of transport on Armageddon, in short, I have used briefly.
>He glances over the targets that he had singled out
It shall be done.
>>45033803
I'll follow, observe the practice.

>>45033793
when is the attack? If it's in this thread I can't join, as I have to go to sleep soon

>>45033849
yeah I am
>>45033865
my home only respekts fightin, and 'ow well you fight, no place for smart orks...
>a hulking hand quickly shoots up to hulking mouth but falls away
>the Ork just shrugs

If you excuse me, gentlemen, I will begin boarding a transport, the ceremony has already begun in private by the Somerian Survivors... they wanted a moment alone with their watcher...

>>45033929
I'd say next week.

>>45033929
Most likely next monday, today is funeral, preppare fleet and warp travel.

>>45033910
There will be a few training exercises to get the men accustomed to fighting out of a teleport. If you wish to attend just ask.

>>45033929
next week probably

>>45033943
Meeting adjured. Well lets head to the hanger and load up.

>>45033929

next monday i think

>Heads down to the hangar and gets on a transport.

>>45033864
I shall do my utmost to keep them not dead.

>>45033943
>Alice boards the Transport and seats herself next to LIX.
>grasps her hand.
A...uh...dress uniform might be fitting lass, err...in case you wished to use it, or more likely, use the image of it.

>>45033995
>Nods.
>Polymorphs the dress uniform in.

>>45033977
>loads up into a red Mechanicus transport with some men.
I'll see you guys down there.

>>45033936
>Wada hearing is still a bit wonky. He puts Lotion on his hears, so they heal.
Grew up Catachan? Armageddon?

>>45033977
>Follows Jackson to the hangar.

>>45033995
>Hurried aboard the transport, opting to stand instead and hold onto one of the handles hanging
>>45033995
I hear this funeral is for an Eversor, rather unique.

>>45034033
Hurry up.
>waves from the transport as he puts on a clean dress uniform.
>Inside is 22 men in full dress and a large thing covered by a tarp.

>>45034033
>following the Ogryn he shakes his head
Uh, from a small Planet, Notanorkistan

>>45034036
>ducks his head to fit in the transport

>>45034036
Due to warp travel shenanigans he went back in time... his stasis pod broke of overuse, died of old age becoming the guardian of a planet... that was sadly victim of a holy Exterminatus last week...

His body, a set of flowers and a few scattered survivors is everything that remains of his legacy

>>45034084
>slipping aboard last minuet the medic smiles at the officer.

>>45034036
Aye, it's a rather unique Regiment we're all gathered around too, for better or sometimes for worse.....I wonder if they repaired the damage to the Pantry yet....

>>45034120
You must be the new Medic I heard about.

>>45033949
>>45033977
>>45033971
>>45033990
in that case, I'll be able to join. I'll go sleep now, have fun guys! (I'll add the main pieces of knowledge from the books to steam after I wake up

>>45034110
Even more odd for anyone to have fond sentiment for an Eversor. Their methods are quite brutal as I understand, with volatile personality.
>>45034161
I've noticed, Ordo Malleus.

>>45034084
>Wada walks on board, trying not to be concerned at how cramped it seems.

>>45034091
Ged on´oard. Sound feudal.

>>45034190
Cool goodnight.
I'll share them with Greely and Alice since she's been nice

>>45034207
>as soon as Wada and Bob are aboard the transport takes off and forms up with the others on the way down to the planet.

>>45034166
>shooting back a grin the medic extends a greasy hand as the other stuffs what appears to be a pair of black lace panties into his labcoat pocket
yes, I spotted you before when I was fixing up that Ogryn, my name is Christopher Larrs

>>45034207
>>45034091
>>45034084

>Climbs on board

>>45034191
This eversor... was a bit different, Commissar, getting along quite well with the troops... he was...

he was...

>She can't bring herself to speak of him in the past form...

He's almost like family to me.

>>45034207
>ducking low the Ork nods
we 'ad to make do, lots 'o weirdboyz

>>45034191
You can call me Alice if you wish, most of the rest do, of course if you would rather keep to protocol, I understand.
>flashes Victus a knowing smile.
Sort of...'runs in the blood' for Praetorians...

>>45034269
>Trying not lose it in cramped space...
Nickname for psyker?

>The transports land close to the Ceremony. The surviving Somerians have already made a queue to pay their respects individually once the preacher finished his sermon.

>There's not a single word spoken out of their lips, each holding a set of flowers from their no-longer existent homeworld, waiting for each to pay their respects individually in complete harmony.

>>45034257
Only in death does duty end, Callidus.
>>45034281
Victus, if we decide to drop the 'protocol'
>Flashes a subtle smirk over his shoulder in the dim light of the transport

>>45034309
you mean the mind blasty ones?
>the Ork laughs recalling weirdboyz he knew who had explouded for no reason
yeah... probably

>>45034244
>shakes it
Jackson... Matthias. Nice to meet you.
>the transport lands close to the grave as the men disembark

>>45034399
>grinning madly the medic nods
it's all rather exciting isn't it?

>>45034435
What is? We're at a funeral.

>>45034352
>>45034350
The ride was quick it seems.....really wish I'd worn my old dress uniform, would have been more appropriate.
>nods again at Victus and stands after squeezing LIX's hand again.

>>45034451
true but it is on another planet, just think of all the flora and even...
>the medic breaths in heavily and grins before lowering his voice
Xenos...

>>45034399
>Wada stumbles out of the transport, relieved to be out in the open.
Don´t show it.
>The Ogryn mutters to himslef and waits for the other passengers to pay their respects first.

>>45034399
>Marches off down the ramp of the transport, breathing in the first planetary air heavily
>>45034465
>Glancing over his shoulder he pulled the fanciful coat from himself, tossing it her direction and marching off, away from the group before much can be said in response

>>45034451
>>45034493
Jackson....would you like to tell him IC that the Necrons accidentally the whole Tau population or should I? I do believe that as the CMO this would fall to you comrade.

>>45034493
>strides out of the jungle
I've come to give my condolences. From what I heard, Omicron was a good man.

>>45034493
We've already been here. I catagorized a lot that I found but nothing special. It currently belongs to A friendly Necron Dynasty with some destroyed Tau bases.

>>45034551
Necrons? oh my oh my
>the medic turns visibly red now
pity about the Tau, I would have loved to... obsere one
>the medic quickly disembarks taking in his suroundings

>>45034541
Ah, Nyzart. It's good to see you again, I wish we met under better circumstances. How's everything?

>Once the Somerians finish paying up their respects and leaving the flowers on top of the Sarcophagus, LIX walks forward, holding Omicron's Helmet and Neural Glauntet within his arms.

No assassin should ever be buried without their callsign gear.

It is all we have...

We're the countless nameless shadows that attack from the darkness at the Emperor's foes to bring a bright future to the Imperium of Mankind... it is our destiny, and our duty to die as anonymous numbers and callsigns.


But not his.

Omicron made himself a name in our hearts, he was not just an eversor... he was a friend. He went off the table, being able to survive without the need of the stasis pods with the drugs pouring into his system... he was able to endure, to be free.

And in his last travel through the stars he found a home.

A home he protected for centuries thanks to the stasis pod. A world that remained under imperial control thanks to his return when Somerius fell into warfare and rebellion.

A world that is no longer among us either...

A world that won't be forgotten, as he never forgot us.

>After placing the Helmet and the Neural Glove on top of the sarcophagus, LIX holds Omicron's diary open by the picture he made of the penal regiment and gently places it on top of everything as the sarcophagus slowly descends into the tomb.

Today he rests on his first home, Gospyria, which will now also be his last home... forever...

The Emperor protects...

>>45034511
>grabs for the jacket as it hits her chest harmlessly.
Err....I'm already dressed in a 'dress uniform'. Was just...uh...saying that my old Guard one....would...alright then.
>drapes Victus' jacket over her arm then follows >>45034613

>>45034508
>the Ork follow his Ogryn friend unsure what to do
>muttering to himself he laments
if e'z dead he'll just grow back, burying 'im seems a bit daft

>>45034681
>>45034508
>Bows his head with the two
The Emperor protects.

>>45034613
>As Delta finishes her speech the men with Jackson perform a 22 gun Salute along with a flyover from a thunderbolt fighter wing.
The Emperor protects.

>>45034611
>glances at Alice
Everything's good.

>>45034705
>mutters again
Emperor protects? he din't do a very good job

The Emperor protects.
>draws her Saber and offers a suitable salute.

>>45034613
>>45034705
>Wada silently watches.
Emperor...

>>45034701
>>45034765
>Glances at the two, before turning back to the funeral service.

yes, yes the Emperor
>nodding his head the medic looks up at a passing 4winged bird.
I want one of those

The Emperor Protects.

>"It's crazy, to think, he could still be out there at this very moment. Don't think about it. Remember what happened to the Ordo Chronos."

>Found himself nearer the the edge, looking over the planet as he could see it, seeing as Gary had chosen a rather easy to see position for the funeral
>Occasionally he turns toward the funeral to check upon it's progress, the wind causing his sash and aiguillette to flutter.

>Is completely silent. Staring directly towards the tomb, feeling the wind crawl over her skin.

>>45034839
Delta. I managed to save one more thing from Somerius.
>taps his comm-bead
>the big golden statue titled 'the Watcher' is pulled out of the transport and placed behind the Grave

>>45034903
>Covers her mouth with her hands, surprised.
>Quickly wraps her arms around Jackson's shoulders in a hug.
>Crying.

Thank you, Jackson... this means a lot...

>Wada thinks back to somerius and continues to watch the funeral

>>45034839
>>45034903
>>45034955
>nods briefly at Jackson and turns back to the grave.

IC Amazing Grace perhaps?

>>45035028
switching to mobile and starting to go to sleep, thread next week or tommorrow?

>>45034955
>Is actually surprised by her reaction
I gotta honor my friend somehow. Also I hope it helps somewhat.

>Nyzart makes a sidelong glance at Behrend and brings a finger to his lips, indicating a desire for secrecy
>>45035034
I request Danny Boy.

>>45035034
Auld Lang Syne?

>>45035044
Next week.
>>45035034
Fuck yes pls.

>>45035100
Thanks, see you guys next week then.Oh, and if the warpsmith shows up, he let´s the guardswoman live please, I still have plans for her. Good Night, everyone.

>>45035162
I didn't take the guardswoman, I thought it was another thing that took her...

>>45035162
Goodnight

>>45035046
Well I gotta get to my biology class. So, I'll be going. If the thread is still alive in a few hours I'll rejoin. If everyone's gone I'll do my little Jackson's plotting corner and head off

>>45035162
goodnight see you next week

>Alice sheathes her Saber and jogs up the ramp of one of her Thunderhawks, returning ten-ish minutes later in a much more Praetorian uniform, along with a bag shaped instrument.
>marches before the grave and starts playing the instrument.

Pic related, it's the uniform

>>45035098
This is 2nd
>>45035091
This is 3rd.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

>>45035220
1, LIX won't sing along but will humm the melody, 2 she sings the lyrics.

>>45035293
Leaving that sorta thing to chance. I'm disappoint.

>>45035310
I was debating either if she would be in condition to sing or not, the dice spoke for me. Fair and square.

>>45035340
She at least has to sing along to Auld Lang Syne

>>45035185
erm, she punched the original and got dragged into maintenance, at keast that's what I wrote [|spoiler]

Rolled 1, 2 = 3 (2d2)

>>45035352
Let me check if she sings the other songs...

>>45035366
You said and I quote:
">Punches Bob off Pete before slapping Wada with a Map of the planet cadia.
>Is getting pulled away by someone, she doesn´t recognize."

All this whilst Depherion was abducting a random guardsman.

>>45035220
>Found a vaguely comfortable rock to sit on near the ceremony
>Drank from his canteen, at least this music was better than what blared on the Penance's intercoms.

>>45035418
>shuffling towards the commissar he taps him on the brim of his hat.
I hate to bother you commissar but the rock you are sat on has some incedibly rare moss that I wish to sample.

>>45035411
sorry, for the confusion then, Imust have misread it then. My mistake [|spoiler]

>>45035456
>Scowling somewhat he roughly tore some moss from the rock, offering it to him

>>45035497
Don't worry, sleep well big guy, I'll see you arround next week.

>>45035418
Turns out that Danny Boy is second because....piper sez so ya grotz.

>With the first piece finished, Alice waits a respectful time before launching into the second.

Kay. Gold night. [|spoiler]

>>45035498
>fumbling for a vial in his pocket he takes the moss, thanking the Commissar before mindlessly wandering away, clearly oblivious to the rest of the group.

Sorry chaps, but I can't find one that has both Paips as well as Lyrics, if you can then plz post it.

Right then. Um...

>>45035774
>perking up to the old tune he knew the Ork sings along to himself
An old Orks eye me grot an old Orks eye
Of all the teef, dat e'er a 'ad, a 'ave spent 'em en gud kumpany.

>the black haired girl from yesterday is standing in the distance, clad in a red suit of armor. She flings something small and red in the air, and the wind carries it until it falls over the tomb. Before you, the Somerian flower takes roots almost instantly, blossoming on Omicron's resting site.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDflVhOpS4E
I guess you can take this as my farewell post, man. Thanks for everything, anyway.

>>45035839
>Nursed a Lho-stick between his lips, staring intently at the diminished funeral group, even more so at the Ork
>Amazing to have an expert on Xeno cultures in the group, knows Orks strengths and weaknesses.

>>45035861
Erm...who? I have a thought but I don't want to say anything in case I'm wrong...
But...uh....farewell then, whoever ye be.

>>45035774
>Sings along.

>>45035861
I'm going to miss anna and amelia man, and you too. The Emperor protects. Also nice touch with the flower
>Actually smiles seeing the somerian flowers starting to root in.
It's a miracle...

>>45035925
>steps up behind the Commissar whilst he is distracted.
Amazing speciman isn't it? who knew the radicals would have an Ork fighing for them.
>the Medic chuckless lightly
is it hard to control?

>>45035955
>>45035976
I thought as much. Welp, was nice while you were here, take care man and good luck with the comic thing, aye?

>>45035981
>Pulled the Lho-stick, holding it between his fingers
The Catachan hasn't skinned him and worn him as a cloak, so I trust that is either genuinely an Abhuman, or the most unique Ork in the Universe.

>>45036069
>the medics grin widens
it is definetly and Ork my friend and a fine specimen too, what I would give to see in true detail how a creature like that functions

>>45035976
>rests a hand on LIX's shoulder as the tune comes to an end.

>The "techpriest" is standing by inside one the shadows of one of the transports' interiors.

Be mindful of the Imperial Creed, Guardsman, punishment for failure in a Penal Legion grants no second chances.

>>45036221
Y-you think so?

No....no matter though, I really must give Victus his coat back.

>>45036343
>Rises from the rock
I'm here to make sure that the Emperor's disgraced die whilst contributing to mankind.

Though if you are incapable of doing so, I will gladly see to your disposal.

I have contributed more than enough

Throne agent?
I heard reports that your limbs, had been replaced by bionics. I am magos Depherion, new head in engineering.

As all our old engineering crew perished in the incursions occurred these last days it is my job to fill in the necessary data about people who might need repairs in their... augmentations...

>Takes it, but is clearly bothered by something - and you know what.

"He.. hello i'm fine how are you..."

>>45036857
Pleased.

Pleased to do my duty.

Any alloy in special requested in case we need to replace the bionics for a new set any time in the coming future?
>You can clearly see he's taking notes in a dataslate beneath some techpriest robes, but most of the body remains hidden.

Ah, yes... very good... Ceremite it will be then. That will be all for now, looking forward to work with you, Agent Gree-lee.
>Walks away back into the transport.
>>45036948
I think it looks more like General Grievous from the 2003 animated clone wars cartoon desu.

I never asked for this

"J-jackson. We need to talk. Is Anna still there, or did she actually leave?"

>>45037016
We...uh..are...yes, I trust that you'll avoid mentioning it around anyone who might 'take offense'?
Only thing I ask of anyone really.

>>45037093
Just for that extra creepyness flactor, I imagine Depherion speaking slowly with a relaxed tone and with Darh Malak's voice from SW: KOTOR

I'll.....give you that, 'is why we're doing our utmost to keep it off field
It's certainly better than some of the -other- things that have happened, that's for sure...but I doubt it's my place to discuss any past issues with a Regiment that isn't mine.

>nods towards Vimes.
Ah Preacher, a welcome suprise, it's fortunate that you could join us.

>>45037518
>Doesn't respond until finishing the prayer.
Don't worry, father, the Somerians had their own preacher with them to officiate the ceremony and give their final goodbye to their watcher.

It's nice to see you here though. Would you wish to give the final sermon of the day, sire?

>>45037509
I only board if everyone else is leaving

>>45037532
Hm?
>Turns the head towards Larrs given that his lenses can't turn to the side.
>Relaxed, slow tone.
Greetings.

>>45037571
I should have joined you earlier.

>>45037607
There's so much to say. And not enough. Just a few words.

>He looks over the grave.
Only in death does our service end. And there are those who say that as long as our names are remembered, we do not die. And the Eversor will be in our memory forever. May he continue to serve the Emperor by inspiring us to always be better.

>>45037695
Well said father. And don't worry about being late as it were, spared you from myself probably butchering the pipes.

>>45037607
You still got those painkillers on you lass? I could use one....
>removes her canteen from her belt and takes a swig.

Interesting collar...

>>45037785
I prefer to think of it as a regiment of the soon to be redeemed. I hope this has helped you reach some kind of closure.

>>45037789

>Small lip twitch. Not quite a smile.

>>45037789

How are you feeling, Alice?

>>45037835
just as planned eyy? haha must make a pleasant change
>tugs again
is it? handnt noticed really, thou it is a tad tight

>>45037868
It has father, I did not know how to fully end my prayer for Omicron... your words were what I needed.
I will forever miss him in the mortal plane...

Still, it's been a long time since I heard such notes. Ah, I'm reminiscing. I'm not even old enough for it.

But before that, have you guys already given into the pain and accepted being hurled into these machines for all eternity yet or not? No? Oh well maybe I just have to try harder. It's not like you can get out of these guardsmen's bodies when you will it after the marks I've put on their skins.

It seems he serves a god called Malal. I've started digging up info on him and it's not good. I believe him to be a warpsmith.

Perhaps I shant be going by "Junior Commissar" much longer.

>>45039229

>Looks at you fearfully

"You heard the name but haven't heard ~it~ yet?"

"Malal is Chaos against Chaos, the forgotten one, the fifth god, the prince of anarchy. He appeals to the vengeful, especially those who've been wronged by Chaos. He's Self loathing turned outward. But he is Chaos, so he's ultimately just as dangerous as the others."

"I see it, sometimes, in my dreams you know. I'm fighting Daemons, and i'm tearing through them in the name of Him on Earth. But they just wont stop coming and I swear I recognize them, that I've killed them before."

"Then I see some twisted parody of myself killing them in the name of that dark god, and they stay gone. More to the point - they are afraid."

"I've seen the kind of hell those twisted monsters unleash, and the temptation to be able to make them go away, ~forever~, is extremely strong. Back on Cadia, Virmanthas spoke of the "wonders" of Chaos. I've seen them, and they're hell itself. I never thought a Chaos God would be able to prey on a selfless desire."

>>45039434
Eh, pass, it's only fun when you want to pilot too. I preffer to sit with you here.
>Walks placing the earsets over... well her ears, she tells the pilot to lift the bird up whilst sitting by Alice's side.

You sure about that? Second to last time I flew the aircraft we got shot down in short order.

>>45039577
Ooooooooooooooooooooooor.....I could laugh at how anally flustered you are. Which I am.

>>45039624
That was on a battlefield against Iron Warriors and a rebelling planet.

>>45039486
>looks a little surprised
Those dreams are troubling Greely. But Malal has been severely weakened in the past. Besides one thing that daemons hate more than Malal is the Emperor. The Emperor will guide us if we need it for he knows what we are capable of. Do you know anything that might help us defeat him?
I heard about him long ago but don't remember much.
>a servoskull with a data slate comes up
It seems that he is confirmed to be a Warpsmith of the Sons of Malice chapter.

>>45039461
I wish you luck in your journey, no matter what rank you hold.
>Bows his head.
The Emperor watches over you. The Emperor is your weapon at your right hand; the Alien will not harm you in the galaxy, nor the Daemon in the warp.

Be safe, commissar.

>>45039678
>He takes a seat near enough the Preacher

>>45039577

oh look it's this faggot again.

>>45039658

"I know where my loyalties lie, Jackson. As to your question - Malal, is, oddly enough, an Elitist. Like many people filled with self loathing, he and his hide behind a sense of superiority to cover it up. "

"Aaaand he just insulted me."

>>45040140
Yes. I honestly think that going through the entire warp travel process every time we jump is a waste of time.

>>45040140

sounds good

>>45040152

"Natch. Is this why Anna left?"

>>45040195
Nah nah nah I don't mean skip as in "We usually do it all the times". Just mean skip as in "Literally one post we're in one place and the next we're right where we wanted to be."...err....I think those are the exact same things.

>>45040140
>Helps her walk there.
>Cuddles into bed with her.
I'll try thinking about that...

And I'm cuddling into bed irl too, guys, had fun. See ya all next monday.

>>45040198
Well she thought I was hiding things. She was correct but I couldn't tell her what because I am bound to not tell a soul.
So, yes.

Well, this business with Malal seems to be quite bad for us

Well send me a copy of whatever you find
"of course"
How's the movements of our ships going?
*Well, It seems with the construction of several more defense platforms, we were able to free up a few more ships*
That's good. What ships?
*1 Mechanicus Cruiser to act as a flagship and 6 Mechanicus light Cruisers to act as escorts*
That's a lot more than originally promised. So, what repairs will you do to the Patience?
>The magos taps a few buttons and a hologram of the ship pops up
>[1/2]

>>45042928
*Well we will exchange all the armor for Battle cruiser class plates and expand the hangers to hold a complement of fighters as well. The warp drive and plasma reactor will be pulled apart and rebuilt. The subsystems rerouted and the living quarters updated. Also we will overhaul Cargo bay 4 into a full miniaturized Manufactorum, capable of vehicle production*
What about hidden areas?
"They will be built wherever you specify"
Good, Put the advanced lab under Medlab and you know what... Put one in Alice's and Greely's offices just an area for them to hold special stuff if need be.
*Of course. Do you wish to know the armaments?*
Yes. Please go on.
*Well we're going to mount a Nova cannon on the spine of the ship along with many Stygies Pattern Bombardment Cannons for ground support as well as Las-burners and Mezoa Pattern Hybrid Lance batteries in addition to the current weapons*
That's quite a lot of weapons
"Well with so little men aboard the ship we have more room to mount weapons."
True. Make the preparations to have it all done.
*We also have something else*
What?
*We tapped Miss Alice's comms to track her movements aboard the battle barge and heard that an STC may be present so we have a sizable fleet on standby.*
Why did you...
"To protect her"
True. Keep them ready we might need them against Necrons
