Penal Regiment /tg/: Suspicious People and Suspicious Circumstances

*zzzttt*
hello. hello anyone in?
*zzzttt*
Storehouse secure over.

Hey guys, I'm back! Can anyone give me a recap of what happened in the last thread?

>Is still driving off with Alice.
So... any plan where you want to go actually? Or we're just driving off through the desert?

>>44168677
>"Aye, we're here. We're staying put but we're here."

>>44168689
Oh boy, Amelia psychically influenced Alice into raging against everyone so she and Delta took a jeep for a walk and relax themselves. Gary got suspicious of something going up with Greely and others and made a call to "Some friends".

>23K and Saharduin continue to force the guardsmen to play volleyball with them wearing tight jeans and no shirts.

>crashes to the ground face first
Ugh... Where's my Promethium Lance?

>>44168694
Alright.
Just holler if your coming in.
I kinda went overboard with the mines.

*yawns*

Well sergeant, when ya see Captain Wellsley, you tell him I've called in some help. And thank Terra, it'll be here before too long.

>>44168689
Um....REALLY brief? We got back from the Space Hulk, Amelia was revealed to be a Psyker to a few people, she stormed off and later admitted it to Alice. Few people got drunk, Amelia subconsciously influenced the young Lieutenant, making her want to murder everyone, so Alice nicked LIX and buggered off into the desert on Safari while Jackson and a few others are figuring out the Psykerism. Oh and WE ABOUT TO GET A SPECIAL VISIT

>>44168692
Hm? Eh, just have a drive around, get my head clear. Maybe go for a spot of hunting or get some target practice in? What is it that you -want- to do?

>>44168742
I am.....A COMPLETE PIKEY. Forgot to change my name. I may need more coffee.

Literally just woke up, gimme a little while before I get things going. It'll be more dramatic that way.

*wheelchairs into base with one eye missing*

>>44168742
W-what I want? I-I don't... I...

I... I guess some wild animals to hunt could... help on cleaning up your head from the previous mess...

I see you're all doing a fine job of keeping this proud tradition going. Keep up the good work.

>>44168753
I've got some 2spooky planned as well. Hue hue hue. Yours will be better though.

>>44168758
You want to bag yourself a Grox or something eh? Could go bag a Devilfish, but best to start off with something easy.
>Alice chuckles to herself as she pulls the duo's Jeep into a cave and climbs into the back to start fiddling with a crate.

>>44168759
Lemming! Join in, we could use your hilariously awful ideas.

>>44168778
Not necesarily... well the grox meat is always good, but... I'd preffer somewhere comfy and quiet for once, I thought going out on a wild animal hunt could work for both of our needs.

>>44168715
>Hit's too hard at the volleyball and removes a guardsman's head with siege drill
>Scores a killer spike in the match though
>23K and Saharduin win

>>44168789
Somewhere comfy....Aha! There's a stream not too far from here, that'll be nice and peaceful.
>Alice pops the crate's lid with a grunt of effort and pulls a Pulse Rifle from within, along with a trio of mags.
You'll be wanting this lass.

>>44168719
LEMMING MY FRIEND, I MISSED YOU AND YOUR EXPLOSIVE CONTRIBUTIONS!

I SHALL BE MONITORING THE PROCEEDINGS FROM AFAR ONLY, UNFORTUNATELY.

>>44168790
*watches the head fly off*
Hey careful with that!

>>44168834
Switching to phone for a while.

T-tau weaponry? What are we going deep undercover now?

>>44168852
>Start's celebrating with 23K
>23K seems to be doing allot of drugs at this point.
>Hi5's 23K while his collar lights ups
"I guess that shot went straight over his head"
>Both them do a air guitar before heading over to the canteen with the over sized centurion wearing sahardiun knocking over tents and low wires as they go.

>>44168756
*Proceeds to medical facilities muttering to himself*

>>44168868
Well, it beats a Longlas, which we don't actually have, plus it's more accurate than a Bolter.
>lifts her own Carbine and taps the end of the barrel.
Plus it's linked to my Markerlight, I'll tag 'em and you bag 'em. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant sniping experience this far out from Terra.

>>44168881
and it took me this long to realize i didn't input a name tag...

>>44168881
I think you forgot your name.

>the supersonic roar of a Thunderhawk's engines are heard in the distance

Well, looks like they're here already. Damn but that was quick! They were either bored or really damned concerned, and I know which is more likely...

>a dark crimson Thunderhawk appears in the sky, it circles about and comes in to the neglected parade ground to land
>it can be seen to bear a sigil of a horned skull
>look closely and it also bears esoteric runes and strange markings, along with standard Imperial heraldry
>the boarding ramp lowers as vapor emerges with a hydraulic hiss

>a massive, dark figure looms out of the shadows of the gunship, followed by several others, as Gary stands waiting with a twisted smile some twenty meters off

>>44168880
Well someone is having a party.
*starts following them from afar*

>>44168836
*hears Theresia yelling, smile grows*

Glad you could make it

>>44168868
>the unmistakable hum of a catacomb command barge follows the jeep

I'm bored. do you want any help? Also, I feel like I should know what exactly you're doing.

>>44168893
>Accepts the weapon.
I-it's heresy to employ non-standarized Xeno weaponry out of assignements for a Callidus... it's heresy to even carry them for a guardsman...

>>44168881
>>44168904
I do apologize profusely for not acknowledging Rogan, but....it's sort of hard when Alice is a few klicks out.

>>44168926
.......They specifically went out there to not get disturbed brah.....I mean shit I know Lolcrons can track people on a whim but...

>>44168904
Oh hi field Surgeon! Shall I push your wheelchair? Where do you need to go?

>>44168909
*fzzzt*
Hello, hELLo.
Come in gary, over.

>>44168939
Is that a C'tan phase blade?

>>44168945
I can leave if you guys want. Gary's maybe deathwatch situation sounds interesting.

>>44168951
Shit, shoulda remembered.
*on vox linked to intercom*
Attention all personnel! Report outside on the double!

>>44168960
I'm surprised you managed to come here and still see the Eversor given that we took a jeep several clicks away from the base.

W-what? N-no. It's a standarized Callidus Temple Phase Blade. Wh-what are you even doing here?

>>44168921
>Enters Canteen, Saharduin follows but tears the tents entrance so he could fit
>Saharduin sits on a bench pushing guardsmen off the other end
>23K gets in the queue waiting for a few moments before deciding that he doesn't like queueing so just walks to the front and picks up a large tray of meat and throws it towards saharduin.

>>44168939
>raises her eyebrow questioningly in LIX's direction.
You have a sword that can do...what it does, and you're worried about a Longshot? I'm not sure I follow....

>>44168926
We came out here on 'Recon'. And to get a bit of peace and quiet. Impossible to get that at the base with those...'knobs' spying on us.

>>44168964
Eh, it isn't that bad, was more to get away from Command Squad HERESY BLAM. Although yes, we'll be doing boring things here desu.

>>44168978
>The Vox equipment in the now vacant -and hidden- jeep sits silent, remaining turned off.

>>44168972
Should i stay and hold the storeroom? over.

>>44168978
I was just returning from the re-christening of Gospyria's true capital and I noticed your jeep. And if I were you I'd stay the hell away from using that sword on this planet if you want to keep using it. Certain members of my court would be interested in acquiring one.

>>44168985
Eeeeeehhhh I knew it was a penal regiment but I wonder what the Commissar would think of this.
Or Sister Theresia. Or Gary. Or anyone.

>>44168988
ahw, so you ditched me completely?
How rude.
It is like you are not even trying.

>>44168972
>Vox buzzes to life, looks at it before choosing to keep the 'feast' going
>Starts eating the cleaning sponges with a side of sauce.

>>44168988
>>44168997

T-the blade is completely human made! It's the wonders of the Adeptus Mechanicus, questioning that is heresy!

>Whispering to herself.
Or so I was told.

>>44168972
What, me too?

On a sidenote, what is the IG's stance on... Not-queuing? And taking massive amounts of food?

>>44169004
She felt a sudden urge to kill nearly everyone on base and them trying to eavesdrop certainly didn't help.
Using her Officer's mind she dictated that she couldn't protect Amelia if she got killed trying to kill everyone else to protect her.

>>44169019
I don't think they'd like it but might make exceptions for a Eversor with a 10 foot shark man wearing centurion armour sitting at the table kek

>>44168949
To the medbay... I Just had a long and exhausting conversation.
>>44168945
It's okay, Rogan is a side characterish person anyways

>>44169017
You just keep telling yourself that. Anyways, have a nice date, I'm going to check on your base.

>speeds off

>>44169064
D-date?
>Sudden realization this could easily be considered as one.
O-oh...
>Blush.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

A-a....n-nevermind...
>Alice blushes and attempts to press the Longshot into LIX's hands.
I-it's not really that big of a deal. It's not like it's a Chaotic uh....w-weapon or anything. Just a rifle.

B-but shall we head for that stream?

Drink.
>Again?
Shut the fuck up then.
>I can't.
>Call her.
Vox isn't working.
>How rude. You are going on a nice trip on the black ship, you know?
I am not. I am thinking.
>That's heresy.
Everything is. Damn, what should I do...

>>44169064
hello.
hello.
Come in necpriest. Over
This Cpl.Dolan Sigismund Lim.
Pick up if your getting this. over.

>>44169113
I forgot. What those are.

>>44169113
Oh? I'm new to the cult, so... What are these asu-pets?

>>44169108
S-sure, let's go.
>The blushing is far from over.

I don't mind using Xeno weaponry, it's just that I am constantly told to be wary about it. But you're right it's not... tainted, actually it's pretty light compared to other dual handed weapons I've held.

>>44169120
Hello Dolan! Over.

>>44169130
>Guardsman Alfaruss.jpg
>Guardsman Alpharuss.jpg
>Guardsman Alpharius.jpg

He's a Cultist working for the Alpha Legion.

>>44169130
Honor, hope, stoicism and love, of course!

>>44169130
>>44169137

Aspect of War. The God-Emperor guides us in bloody and glorious battle in his name

Aspect of Ecstacy. The ecstacy we feel when we kill the Emperor's enemies. Remember to revel in it

Aspect of Hope. Accepting that death in the Emperor's name is the greatest honour we can have. Hope for a better future for humanity

Aspect of Progress. Achievement and intelligence is what the Aspect of progress bestows upon us.

Remember to pray to the four aspects every day

>>44169147
We might have a potentially volatile situation at the base. Over.

I need some third-party firepower on standby. Over.

>a black armored, skull helmed Space Marine strides deliberately from the gunship and stops in front of the Catachan
>his squad brothers fan out to either side, keen to any possible threat

Guardsman Lawzom. It is good to see I am able to offer aid to the last of the Catachan 79th while he still lives. I see you have established yourself well in this new regiment. So tell me, for what purpose have you summoned the Exorcists to your aid?

>Gary clears his throat
Good to see you too, Chaplain, damned glad you could make it. Well, not entirely sure what is going on, but we've got a Necron Lord an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor has declared an ally, and we have a Sister of Battle who has been revealed to be an undiscovered psyker. That and some in this regiment have not been acting normally. *sighs* It doesn't seem like anything is obviously wrong, but something is that's beyond me, and you were the closest who could do anything.

>Blinks purple with energy inside it's containment box.
>To anyone with psychic potential it's almost as a beacon of power.
>Stops abruptly a few minutes later.

>>44169142
Mhm, say what you want about the Tau, they don't do anything half assed....Ah, but I suppose it's only fair. After all, the God Emperor marches alongside us. Thus we are invincible.
>grabs a second Pulse Rifle from the box and slings it over her shoulder, before leading LIX out of the cave and towards the stream.

>>44169116
The Praetorians at the gate might tell Amelia where Alice is, of course they're not liable to let anyone leave right now, because SUDDENLY SPACE MARINES is a biiiiiiiiiiiig deal.

>>44169186
Looks safe. Anyone want to touch it?

>>44169171
... Sounds like them boogeymen. No wonder ol' lady doesn't like 'im, even when she praises 'is good intentions.

NHHHG!
>clutches her head and falls on one knee.

>>44169178

>>44169180
>>44169193
Fuck.
Thanks Alice, no really.

>>44169180
>a deathmark watches from its perch on one of the taller buildings

>>44169216
Well....if Amelia played the part of the dutiful sister and asked nicely...I mean it's not like she would have had kind words for the others in the Regiment when she left after all....they might -Read: Certainly will- look the other way.....

>>44169180
I belive there was mention of an artifact that had to do with the slaying of the Sorceror Virmanthras before he was able to become daemon?

*Gary slaps his head* Of course! I must be drunk. It's secured. I'll lead you to it.

>they go to where the heresy box is kept, heads are turned

Here it is. I'll leave opening it to you.

>>44169224
Actually scratch that.

>>44169193
>Follows Alice.
I've... I've never sniped anything in my whole life... That's what Vindicares are for...

>>44169223
Certainly. What is the situation, exactly?

>>44169227
Shame I can not contact alice then.

>>44169237
I..

All i know is that we may have hostile sleeper agents in our ranks. Gary knows all the details, i'm just the picket watch. Over.

>>44169228
>It looks like a normal Eight pointed star trinket that any traitor would wear.
>NothingToSeeHere.jpeg.

>>44169234
There's nothing to it lass. I'm a sniper by training myself....but father and mother wished me to be safer so I was transfered to Sandhurst Primaris and trained as an Officer. They do care but...like I said, normal eh?
>Alice raises her Carbine and sweeps the area infront of them as they near the stream.
But enough of my ramblings. Sniping is easy, I'll teach you if you want. And a Longshot 'Pulsie' is as easy as it gets.

>>44169253
Have Amelia wander over to the gates and speak to the Praetorians there, they'll give her a jeep. Remember, none of them actually know Amelia is a Psyker. Just a Sister.

>>44169261
Then should I not talk with Gary?

>>44169180
I DINDU NOTHING WRONG.

UNLESS YOU MEAN ANOTHER SISTER.

>>44169228
*barely evades the space marine on his way to medbay, dropping his statues* eksuuse me, go ahead good angel.

You'll have to explain the pornography later. This artifact must not be left amongst any of you. I shall have it taken to our strike cruiser for later examination and destruction. Brother Konstantine?

>the mentioned Brother bows and takes the box to the Thunderhawk, which let's off two Landspeeders and threw assault bikes before lifting off

>>44169277
Oh... that's nice I guess I c-could use some advice.
>She's still blushing.

>>44169277
>would probably do that, if there weren't the Exorcists at the front door.
>>44169293

and so goes every chance. Well, I would have not even started this if I knew the astartes were involved.

>>44169280
We know, Sis, we know. You're the purest damn Sister I ever did know. It's that other one we're worried about...

>>44169186
*stops pushing Rogan*
*clutches her head and curses in high gothic*

>>44169279
Well. Hes indisposed currently, we have guest it seems.

>>44169293
>Just holding it already makes any Exorcists uneasy.
>I bet this regiment is full of heretics, playing with Xeno weaponry, doing deals with Xenos, Spoiling the bodies of traitors... it sure demands purging. Don't you think it demands purging?

>>44169312
Landing Pad is in the middle of the base compound, if Amelia skirts around the buildings she can make it all the way to the gate while the Exo's are busy talking to Gary. From there the view of the front gate is blocked by a pair of Chimeras acting as the gate.

And it's not like I knew the Exo's of all people were gonna appear when the last thread ended either.

>>44169317
Eh? Yer alright? *picks up the statues*

>>44169303
Think nothing of it, it a good thing to improve your skills, that you can serve the Emperor more effectively in all things.
>Alice's cheeks are reddened slightly as well, but discussion of 'business' appears to be keeping her mind off it.

>>44169330
>their studious and once possessed minds ignore the unholy thing's insidious whispers, Brother Konstantine places potent purity seals of warding upon the box

Now. Where is this "Sister" by the name of Amelia?

>>44169348
G-good... Good.
>"Do it, this is the best moment."
>"B-but..."
>"Don't be afraid, you're in intimacy now."
>"I-I'm not afraid... m-maybe just a little bit..."
>"You can do it, don't be shy you don't need to talk about yourself now."
>Tries at holding Alice's hand with hers.

>stays outside the walls of the base, waiting for Dolan to give a signal.

>>44169345
Yes it's ... Something in the warp is not right.

>>44169335
>Nah, fuck it.
>Amelia just makes her way to the garage looking for a vehicle
Astartes at the door. Wonderful. I am just going to bail out of this. And then I don't know, but anything is better than this.

Mecha, can you stick your Steam on for a few minutes?

>>44169389
I'm sorry alright, but I can't do bugger all when the opposing force could wipe out everyone here. And not everyone would go against them anyway.
What am I expected to do? The Praetorians can 'accidentally' let her escape but they're loyalists. Regimental being plebs or not, they ain't gonna throw down with Daemon Hunters for anything, not even their own CO's.

Whoever is saying that, im warning you! I Usually torch people who says things directly to my cranium.

Hop in the steam group chat if you can, helps with organising RP if needed

>>44169437
Let us speak in private, Sister.

>ushers her into an empty room, as two Exorcists take guard at the door

Now. Tell me who you are, your background, and how you came to be with a penal regiment. I will warn you that I will know if you omit anything that would be of import to me...

She isn't fucked completely if she tells him the whole truth...

>>44169480
I already said that steam ruined my last rp experiences, so no, thanks.

>>44169441
Im here. over.

>>44169457
Do not try my patience, Inquisitor. It is already in safe hands.

>>44169461
This could work. It's possible to shift the blame to the Artefact and that Totally-Not-An-AL-Infiltraitor Inquisitor perhaps?.....OR DO WHAT GARY SAID. THAT WORKS TOO.

>>44169474

So... anything you want to hunt in general, Alice?

>>44169580
We were willing to see it, nobody knew we'd have "suddenly: exorcists" last thread.

>>44169580
People have been in worse situations, I think Gary at one point was about to be stabbed in the face by a angry Eversor because he wouldn't put on a hula skirt. But he turned out fine

>>44169567
Wait, wait.
Lets do it gently, this guys are fidgetty.
Announce who you are first before appearing.
The last thing we need is a diplomatic indecent.
And summary execution is the last thing i want.

>>44169580
They are incomplete. I should like to hear your version.

Oh, we're still interested. The Necrons may create a situation in which you escape...

Anyhow, there is something warp relates, don't worry, it's not you, but the surgeon right there might be able to help you with the other thing if you want.
*points at Rogan*

>>44169614
Come now lass, this is about what -you- want. Emperor knows that you deserve a break....h-have you ever -had- Rn'R before?
>Alice's tone is slightly nervous, but is tinged with genuine concern.

>>44169580
I'm willing, but bloody Exorcists don't fuck around. But seems like Gary is throwing bones. SILLY CATACHAN YOU'RE INVOKING THE WRATH OF SAHARDUIN.

>>44169645
TBF I think my saharduin intervention saved him that day, and today my Artifact Intervention isn't managing to save anyone.

>>44169629
I am afraid I have got nothing, brother. I can't seem to remember some periods of my life, for reasons already included in the files.
>>44169614
Whatever, I'll just wait for Amelia to be blammed and make a character that is less plot relevant, I guess can't fuck up that.
>>44169653
No bones. I mean, Amelia is not an evil chaos cultist as of now.

>>44169658
It's beutiful to think a possible murder, followed by a attempted murder led to the start of the greatest friendship the imperium has ever seen

>>44169653
Rn'R?
>Is afraid to ask
W-what's... what's an Rn'R?

>>44169647
Ay don't worry navigator i got my fix right here. And i think you should take old-doc into the infirmary, he seems unconscious.

Wait a minute! How you get in here! I booby trapped the entrance!

>>44169680
.....'Rest and Relaxation' lass...you um...didn't know that?
You relax on base, sit around, talk to mates, maybe go out on the piss....err....go d-drinking?
Sorry, the Instructors and s-some of the lads from the Regiment, the old one, m-must be rubbing off on me.

>>44169666
Amnesia then. I'll believe it for the time being, but let it be known that something is very wrong with you. As such, my brothers and I shall be watching you.

>places a specialized tracker on her back

Now it seems we have a most unusual xeno situation.

>stalks outside to see Nyzart

>>44169717
This is highly unorthodox, brother. I ask you to remove this tracker unless the Inquistion approves it.

>>44169702
Aw, shucks. Ol' lady said somethin' 'bout a chance of "vorp-rafts" followin' me fer a while. This it?

>>44169707
N-not whilst on service... these days out of it have been... Relaxing though, enjoyable even.
>She's muttering less, and has certainly stopped shaking in nervousness, now that Alice is actually holding her hand, but she may be blushing even more than before.

>>44169717
>Attempts to stand in formation with the rest of the guardsmen wearing his new fancy disguise.
>23K tries to do the same but can't decide where he want's to line so keeps shoving guardsmen out of their positions.

>>44169702
Eeeeh don't tell other people but I can bend the Empyrean so that I disappear some place and reappear elsewhere.

Wait, why did you boobytrap what?

>>44169635
Necron. So it seems you plainly bear a writ from the Ordo Xenos. My duty is to destroy you on sight, but for the Inquisition's word, I stay my hand. Now I hear that your tomb is upon this world. Explain your purpose with this regiment.

>>44169702
Dolan. How'd the storeroom turn out? I just finished with the camera lines. You run into any problems?

>>44169730
It has the approval of the Ordo Malleus, Sister. It shall remain.

>>44169702
Dolan. How'd the storeroom turn out? I just finished with the camera lines. You run into any problems?

>>44169768
Whoops

>>44169734
Mhm, rest'll do you some good. Now, what shall we do? Rest at the stream for a few minutes then go find some 'game'?

>>44169755
notice me senpai

>>44169755

Oooooh so he wasn't a Techpriest after all.
Hey necron! What happens if you look into my eye?

Ok guys, it was a blast until it lasted. Keep having fun and maybe next time you play, put "quest" on the tag, it happened that threads like this got cancelled for not having it.

>>44169780

>>44169635
Hey, Nyzart. I might need your help, There might be a something horrible in the works... that's a space marine... *whispers*well shit... no this is good, we may be able to win.

>>44169755
Uhh.. Oh great Marine... I uh.. May I ask what you are doing with Nyzart?

>>44169835
*looks at them*
Ah you're the guys who don't queue?

>>44169755
I simply required their assistance to reclaim my rule over this world. Gaining inquisitorial allies was... an added bonus.

>>44169810
Oh come now, you still have a chance. Perhaps one of the Guardsmen might remove the tracker...

Also, sorry I dropped the Exorcists in this suddenly, I talked about it on steam, but I ought to have waited a thread. My sincerest apologies.

>>44169810
B-but your character still lives! You can still become the next saturday morning cartoon villain! Just that the Exorcists will be coming when you do it, but that doesn't mean you can't do it!

>>44169731
no. no. just calm down at watch were you step.

>>44169751
>squeamish
umm.. that's classified?

>>44169776
*picks up vox*
All good jackson. its as hard as a rock.

>>44169861
Indeed. It is preventing bloodshed at this very moment. But it is clear you now have possession of your desired rule, yet you maintain an interest with these Guardsmen. Why is that?

>>44169810
If it makes you feel any better I was expecting you to cause a massive battle. So I planned accordingly

Just take the Power Armour off and wear Carapace instead. I think if a Space Marine slapped you on the back hard enough to put the tracker through the armour, you'd need a medic.

>>44169816
See? Now you're getting into it! Come on then...time to have some....fun....
>Alice's turns slightly colder as she says "fun", possibly, maybe.
>She then drops into a crouch and gestures for LIX to follow, tapping a button on the side of the Carbine as she stalks forward.

>>44169887
They are still on my planet, no? I feel that I owe them my hospitality at the very least.

>>44169864
Sorry if I wanted to play a well developed antagonist and not just have her go full villain without reason while you and alice are somewhere else.
>>44169862
Perhaps, perhaps. But since the only thing I can do is just to switch to full villain now, but without the only thing that could have ensured that I don't get blammed 3 seconds after, the heresy box, I know I won't have fun with it. Whatever.
>>44169895
I expected to play it out. If ti makes you feel better. But against the astartes? It is like bringing an autocannon to a CCW fight.

>>44169883
... Step? *points at wheelchair*

>>44169860
>looks at 23K who looks back. They both look at you.
>They both shake their heads with a big grin on their faces

>>44169918
yah know what i mean. Just stay put.

I kinda forgot where i planted the ordnance.

>>44169883
That's great. If you turn on terminal #2 you should be able to cycle the camera feeds. do you know why there are Marines on base?

>>44169906
>tilts head, rather taken aback
Truly? Very well, I shall not prosecute your... dynasty, provided you do nothing to violate the trust the Inquisition has placed in your hands. And if you must travel with them when they leave, you shall do so alone, and disguising your true nature.

>>44169917
oh for the love of god, we've all made characters that didn't play out the way we wanted, just have her an hero over the fact she is a psyker and the very thing she ought to destroy if she bores you.

>>44169899
>Follows the lead.

>>44169917
Oh boy you wanted the artifact? I can maybe make it damper with the thunderhawk's controls and force it to crash? I have already said it in the Steam Group, but the artifact does actually hold a dark secret.

>>44169960
Gary.

>>44169917
I recommend you slip out of your armor, and escape while the Exorcists are distracted. Perhaps the Dark Gods will aid you once you are away...

>>44169961
That is... fair. I am glad that you did not turn out to be members of the deathwatch.

>>44169917
I expected you to turn evil and mind control Alice and the assassin then the Prantorians under Alice would probably follow her, because she's their commanding officer, and you'd have a bigger chance at success. I'll happily leave them outta the loop if you want to because i'm not supposed to like them too much.

>>44169961
WHAT? WHATWHATWHAT? BROTHER, YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS BEING AS A FOUL XENO KNOWN AS THE NECRONS? AND YOU'RE LETTING IT GET AWAY?

WHAT HAPPENED TO KILLING THE XENO AND PURGING THE MUTANT?

*looks at him, eyes narrowing*
OR DOES SOMEONE HERE NEED A SMALL REFRESHING LESSON ON THE "BURNING THE HERETIC" PART?

>>44169987
He's got some friends in high places. Damn, I thing I just got more scared of the guy.

>>44170009
Haven't we already been over this?

>>44170009
OH SHIT. Wait. Sister. There is a perfectly good explanation to this. Just give me a moment.

>>44170020
ARE YOU STILL A FOUL XENO? YES. THEN WE SHALL KEEP GOING OVER IT.

>Decides noone really cares about him being a 10 foot shark like xeno wearing centurion armour and looks at 23K and shrugs
>23K looks back with a "Let's blow this joint" look and starts looking round the base for some fresh Guardsmen to terrorise.

>>44170015
You'd think he'd be in a nicer place with friends like that.
Anyway
>looks at the security feed
Things are fine here for the moment. They took away the heresy box, so thats a breather.

>>44170034
>If he still had eyeballs, they would be rolling.

Got a chance and switched from laptop to PC, joining steam chat room now. (I'll be leaving it on when I have to go to work in about half an hour. So if you want to message me I'll be back to read it.)

>Is still backing away from anyone important
What the living frak is the Inquisition doing here? And was that-? I thought astartes were a myth..! ...Maybe it was just a really jacked Sister of Battle. Yeah, that's much more likely.

...Hot.

>Finishes stashing the food and finds himself at a loose end
Okay, food that's not cardboard mush: Check. Booze?
>Reaches under his regulation (and heavily patched) jacket and retrieves a can of rotgut
Check. Helmet and gun? Not check. Right, guess I know what I'm doing then. Now where the hell did I leave them..?

Heeeeelloooooo.......we've got a couple of Kroot...tap the button on the bottom left of the scope, it'll sync it with the 'Light, then you just point and shoot.
>Alice aims at the the first Kroot, the advanced equipment dutifully transmitting the target data to LIX's Rifle's scope.

No aim roll this time....it's too easy a shot.

>>44170004
I would have tried eventually.
>>44169969
Usually not because suddenly superhumans come down from the sky and invalidate you forever.
>>44169980
>>44169994
Goddamn people, it is not "what I wanted" but "whatever I could do is invalidated because Space Marines arrive literally three in game hours after Amelia is just as suspected to be a psiker.
I mean, clearly you were not cool with letting me do some stuff. Fine, I mean, I get it, don't worry, I am not angry about it.

>>44170009
>>44170034
*pulls out data slate and types on it*

*sweats*

>>44170048
*whispers*
Just roll with it

>>44170048
ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?

>>44170009
Believe me, Sister, I am outraged that an Inquisitor would sanction xenos in such a way. I desire nothing more than to shatter this presumtious upstart xeno, but it will cause far too much trouble to ignore the Inquisition's mandate. Besides, you have not yet done anything.

Alright, I shall -mostly- be controlling Arthur for a bit now, but if certain people need Alice I'll play her too. Although just know that she will be a bit out of it, but not -too much-. Certainly able to not make anyone bored. I hope.

>>44170680
Welp! He looks looks pissed and these two loonies look like excellent scapego- I mean rear guards.

We should probably skedaddle before Gary decides he wants to use our spines as belts.
>Beckons to Elena and runs for it

>>44170805
>>44170792
Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping that I could enlist you to join me in taking one of my new vehicles for a spin.

>>44170844
Should've started with that, my friend. I'd love to go out for a spin in one of those fancy Necron hover-things.

*wakes up*
Uungh... Thank the Empyrar that was just a nightmare... I'd rather serve the boogeymen than see that again...

>>44170826
>"Uh...yes Mi'Lord, as the Emperor wills..."
>Arthur obviously sounds unsure, but nevertheless the Valkyrie flies into the base compound, landing swiftly and dropping the ramp even quicker.
>Arthur immediately steps down the ramp and takes a knee at the sight of the Astartes and their equipment.

>>44170834
*grabs his shoulder*
Now those loonies can do whatever, since theyre crazy, and the Navigator shouldn't be here on the ground. So listen here, I'm not gonna be mad, cause I don't care who knows that I love Sister Theresia. But don't be spying like that again. Nothing heretical.

>>44170881
Well, you're going to love this.

>>44170903
Rise, Captain. I have reviewed your record of service, you have been serving well.

>>44170844
Does it shoot lightning?

>>44170917
Come in gary. over.

>>44170962
>presses commbead
What?

>>44170962
Oh, it does far more with lightning than that.
>>44170881

How do you feel about being paraiah'd?

>>44170992
Like, turning into a Necron? I've been preparing for that for a while, in case you were going to trick me or something. That's why I use a glaive from time to time.

>>44170947
>Rises as ordered and instead moves to stand at attention.
I am naught but another of the Emperor's humble servants Mi'Lord, as we all are.

>>44171020
Alright cool.

>>44171023
>removes helm, smiles
Verily spoken, Captain. Be at ease, you are under no censure, and I know you to be a proud and upstanding Guardsman.

>>44170982
So, uhh, Is that worst case scenario coming or can i stop squatting in the storeroom? Seriously ive been fortifying here since last night.

>>44170992
sweetness!

>>44171073
Nah, everything is fine. Just don't shit yourself when you see the Space Marines.

>>44170885
*starts wandering around aimlessly, seemingly unaware of his surroundings* if anyone wants to take him into converstion/stop him/ etc, feel free to do so. As of now, there doesn't seem to be anything I am capable of positively contribute to due to lack of knowledge (damn you movies), so ill first read what has happened.

>>44171023
>stumbles down the ramp of the Valkyrie, holding a bolt pistol and pointing it at Arthur
Captain...
>unnaturally thin young woman smiles in a disturbing way
Your pistol. You forgot it.
>the giggling girl offers the gun to Arthur. She's clad into flak armor and actually the left half of her head is hairless, while the other sports a mass of long, blonde hair

>>44171073
Well, if you're interested, you two should meet me at the landing area.

>walks off

>>44171100
I fell cheated on this one, you and jackson got some shut-eye while i was piling up sand bags.

Also Space Marines? Are we... are we getting purged?

>>44171128
Hell YES I'm interested.

>>44171142
I'm going to see these Necron vehicles. Talk to you later, bro.
>hurries away

>>44171142
No, we aren't. I asked em to come here to get rid of the heresy box and help investigate the weird shit going on.

>>44171066
>Arthur removes his helmet as well, in an effort to seem informal.
I am...glad you think so Mi'Lord, but I am only doing my job, as ordered. If I may ask though sir, what exactly warrants the attention of our Emperor's most noble Astartes..... Ah. I know, the...Sorcerer Mi'Lord?

>>44171158
Later! I have to clean all this up, watch out for landmines, i forgot where i left them.

>>44171160
Oh so the purging is on hold then. Good to know i still have a window of opportunity for escape.

>>44171158
>upon rounding a corner to get to the landing area, you are met with this thing

>>44171125
You...um...
>Arthur seems nervous at the young woman's behaviour, as one would expect, but relaxes visibly as he accepts the offered weapon with a smile of his own.
I thank you Mi'Lady, it has been a stressful few days.
Do you require anything?

>>44171204
>stunned
What the... What is this thing? I don't even have anything to compare it to. Like, I have never seen anything that looks even a little like this.

Except General Grievous' wheel thing from Episode III

>>44171213
I would have known if i need anything.
>there goes the smile again
You need to know where your subordinate is.
You will also find no clue, so will ask me to tell you.

>>44171161
The Sorceror, for one. But mainly because Sergeant Lawzom requested us. His old regiment had a history with our Chapter. I will give you the courtesy of informing you that we are observing all who were present at the death of the sorcerer for any trace of corruption. Though I see no indication of it in most, which is good.

>>44171237
This psyker. Tell me about her.

>>44171235
Pretty cool right? It runs on the heart of a dying star. I wouldn't even have it, except Anrakyr owes me a couple favors.

>>44171275
So... How fast is it?

And is using a dying star eco-friendly?

>>44171290
I was hoping to find out today.
>over vox
Anyone else want to join me and Ron?

Probably more eco-friendly than a landraider.

>>44171237
My...subordinate? You must refer to Lieutenant Wellesley. Why...why would I need to find her? But...one moment Mi'Lady.

>>44171263
The Psyker who disembarked with me Mi'Lord? Capable from all that I've seen, reliable too. Nothing outstanding to report, most of my usual Troopers were delayed here though, but this is the way things work sometimes.
>Arthur seems slightly confused, but otherwise unbothered about his troops absence.

>>44171345
>the girl frowns
I know that you WILL ask, not WHY you will ask.
And I won't be able to answer for a while.

>>44171112
okay, I'm back. I think I should join the steam group, so... Do I just post my account here or...?

>>44171345
>>44171375
Hm, seems typically odd. Anyway, your troops are about, Captain. If there's anything you wish to discuss, I shall be available.

>>44171381
either that, or you can add me at vexilariusxxvii

>>44171375
Hm...very well then Mi'Lady. Um...dismissed for the moment, if you do not require my services for now?

>>44171416
>Arthur raises his free hand to stroke at his bearded chin, before apparently coming to a conclusion.
There -may- be something Mi'Lord, but...it hardly seems the sort of thing worth bothering one of the Emperor's Angels with sir.

>sleeping in a corridor
>hears crackling of vox >>44171314
>wakes up
>wanders through corridors for a while grumbling
>eventually finds landing area
Eh? What's going on - WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT THING?

>>44170917
>Makes a sound roughly equivalent to a surprised cat that's just been stepped on, as Gary's ham-hand clamps down
Right you are, boss-man. Whatever you say.

...But it was pretty funny seeing you tuck her in like that.

Man, now I feel lonely and berreft. Hey, honey with the dark ey- Wait, did you say she was a na-naa...n-NAVIGATOR?!

What the hell is WITH this regiment?! I thought we were the lowest, dirtiest scum in the Imperium, but we've got Inquisitors, Astartes, Navigators and Throne knows what else just wandering around!

>>44171468
You like it?

>>44171458
I'll have none of that coyness, Captain. Speak.

>>44171416
>Anna tilts her head a bit, her eyes looking somewhere in the distance,and everyone feels a mild headache for a moment
You did an error, Chaplain.
You won't find the witch.
>>44171458
I was assigned to the Captain, not the other way around...
>walks away, prancing around in a silly fashion

>>44171476
You!
>stops in front of Kom
I see your future.
There is a beautiful woman, and she is giving you a face full of bolter rounds.
Rejoice!

>>44171476
Heh, what can I say, Im a softie at times. And yeah, what is with this regiment. Damn good question.

>goes to quarters, slams door

>>44171493
>raises an eyebrow

I beg your pardon, miss, but I have been hunting daemons and witches for nearly four centuries. Believe be, I will find the witch, you need not know how.

>>44171545
*Believe me

He sure wasn't holding his nose

>>44171483
Nyzart. What did I miss? Did I pass out?

sorry I had a final to go take. Bio is a bitch.

>>44171545
>Anna taps on her forehead twice
This is not what I see. But good luck, Angel of the Emperor!

>>44171488
Well Mi'Lord....as one of your experience is probably aware, honour is of utmost importance to a Praetorian, second only to our loyalty to our God Emperor.
And, the most dishonourable thing of all is to lose your Regimental Colours to the enemy. I'm afraid I must say that we were not granted the chance to repatriate our Colours before we were 'attached' to this Regiment.

What I was wondering is if you would be willing to return our Colours to Praetoria, should you go near there in the future, Mi'Lord.

>>44171574
I was just about to take Laroque and Corporal Fanner here on a ride in my new tesseract ark. Want to tag along?

>>44171610
Where are we headed?

>>44171416
invite sent. I'll be lurking for some time before rejoining.

>>44171483
Uh... It's certainly something.
How did you sneak it in here, anyway?

>>44171597
>considers a moment, nods
It is not particularly far. And I shall be passing that way before long. If our paths become separated, I shall grant your request.

>>44171630
Oh, nowhere specific. I could show you the sights, there's some great monuments not forty miles from here.

>>44171646
I didn't need to. My Illuminor said that no one was guarding the area.

>>44171671
It seems I'll have to pass. I need to report into the Captain. Just keep me posted on where you go in case I need to get in touch with you.

>>44171662
>stands at attention once again.
Thank you Mi'Lord. I only wish that we could deliver it personally but....we were sent here and one doesn't defy the Administratum after all.

>>44171694
>spying on the liuetenant. Not very stealthy, it has o be said.

>>44171703
>*Stands nearby waiting for the Captain to finish.*
>>44171724
>*notices the psyker*
*whispers to himself*
Well I got time... I guess.

Hello there, who might you be?

>>44171517
...Sweet. Does that mean I get to carry a bolter?

>Goes to see if the quartermaster will issue him a bolter

>>44171779
You are Liuetenant Jackson.
You did a big mistake lately.
>the girl passes an hand through the hair she has left
Also someone put a venomous bug somewhere in your room.
>>44171826
No, silly, she will! You will be dead in 3.45 second.

>>44171838
Listen. I've made plenty of mistakes, and I gotta live with them all.

Can you read minds? If you can i'll tell you what i'm thinking.

Alright then. Fanner, Laroque, are you ready to go?
>hops in the driver's seat

>>44171912
Oh yes. I am so fucking ready, man.
>gets in
Let's just hope this isn't some anticlimactic bullshit.

>>44171893
Sure you can. Do your mistakes kill your men usually?
Nah, only see the future. But she lies half the time.
