dusara217 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So, the Inquisition Codex states that some Inquisitors "lure" Jokaero into their service. Does anybody have any idea how, exactly, the Inquisition does this?

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Reese's Pieces? Seriously, though, I don't know. But I wouldn't put it past the GW writers to actually have something like that iconic scene from E.T. in mind when they wrote that line of the codex as a subtle bit of humour.

WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 As far as I'm aware they don't have much written on them. I remember reading a relatively throw away line about them being one of the few xenos species tolerated by the Imperium, possibly under the guises/protection of the Inquisition who benefit from their talents. As to luring, the space orangutans are somewhat fickle and motivated by their own desires and ideas (as reflected by their rules somewhat). I assumed this meant they tempted them with the opportunity to see and tinker with new technology or some such. As ever with the Inquisition there's no set rules on exactly how something happens, just shades of grey...

Epimetheus13 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Lexicanum has a fascinating article on Jokaero that, if the sources are to be believed, draws alot from the old Rogue Trader rulebook where they first appeared. wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Jokaero According to that, Jokaero travel in family groups, and aren't above raiding and attacking targets to acquire the technology they seek. This gives rise to a couple ideas how they might be "lured": an Inquisitor might trap one during a jokaero raid as one does an animal and later train it to obey; an Inquisitor might entice it with a piece of tech; or even stage and set-up the raid in the first place to capture whole family... The article cites contradictory sources on whether or not Jokaero have language and can be communicated with at all...so however the INQ "lured" the space ape into his/her retinue, it probably didn't involve a negotiated contract or exchange of skills for service. (That article is full of cool nuggets, e.g., jokaero being as tech-intuitive as Orks, because both are creations of the Old Ones!)
