Commissar Molotov Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Totally fine to just put some bullet points in to give Steel something to reply to, if you wish.

Commissar Molotov Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) So... We have posts (or placeholder posts) up for each of the story threads - Solastion and Yeng, Montesa, Sabaan and Teralil, Tyber and Ghent, Vârvost and Vorr. I would ask that you work together either here or in PMs to get these posts completed. Feel free to coordinate to put up more conversation-based posts or the like. Thank you also to A.T. for your post, which I think has started to add some characterful depth to Atratus (who is sometimes - perhaps fittingly - a bit of an enigma!) In the meantime, I will push forward with the narrative (likely tomorrow.) My ideal plans would be: - Solastion and Montesa coming to an agreement regarding the command structure here - will Swordhand acquiesce to working under the Sanguinary Priest's command? Are the Brothers of Swordhand happy with that? Do the Brothers of Swordhand have any concerns for their Librarian? - Solastion holding some sort of ceremony to unify the teams. This does not have to be the true oath-taking that is mechanically in the Deathwatch rulebook, as I want to change that. - The brothers being assigned tasks in the defense of Syndalla. This echoes what I said before - unifying the defenders (Locke, Wrex, Desiato, etc.) and checking things are to your satisfaction before the attacks start. I can then start the next Day of the defense. General Wrex has summoned Akkad (or "requested the honour of his presence") to the Levy Fields. Narratively, I am keen for certain characters to follow their arcs: - It seems to me that Akkad does need to be brought to heel, and perhaps for him to see that he is operating in a way that is not too dissimilar from Huron himself (this will be important later when he discovers the fall of the Astral Claws and is forced to confront some of those same flaws in himself.) With the 303rd he is establishing his own personal fiefdom and he is distancing himself from his brothers. The strong are strongest alone, after all... - It also seems to me that Montesa has to master himself, becoming familiar with an unfamiliar body. Noctus's absences, whilst not deliberate, have helped cultivate that absent-mindedness that works well for his character, I think, and goes well with the self-deprecating nature of Imperial Fists successors. Obviously there are longer-term ones, such as Tyber maturing away from his rashness and arrogance, or Greysight and Atratus's friendship. I'm keen for us to develop this further and to see what rattles loose as we build on this defence! EDIT: Mazer: I would be willing to work with what you suggested earlier, and have you speak to Sabaan and Teralil to merge your Heavy Bolter and Flamer to make an Infernus Heavy Bolter. I don't think that you will have created the first one - rather, you know that they exist. For Sabaan, merging the two weapons (and their disparate machine spirits) would be something more akin to heart surgery, something delicate and risky. Obviously I'm happy for it to succeed, as it would bring us closer to some of the more modern Deathwatch concepts.

Noctus Cornix Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I had that same idea. I to have Guillermo approach Solastion. I'll try to make my post tomorrow after work.

apologist Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Placeholder updated. Slips, Mol, and Noctus you okay with this scene? I wanted Yeng to have a bit of 'alone time' off-screen, and found a way that I hope ties things back and pushes the narrative forward a bit by suggesting a meeting between Montesa and Solastion. Slips, the actions are not meant to be too antagonistic; but rather 'plain talk' – Yeng didn't want to express his doubts in public, but the privacy of a shared apothecarion offers a chance he wanted to take. I've tried to leave things open to your interpretation.

Commissar Molotov Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thank you to those of you who have put placeholders up. As I turn to the next day of this game, I'd like to know where people are going to be sent. At the moment, I know: - Akkad has been summoned to the Syndallan Levy PDF fields by General Wrex, and seems willing to do so. - Teralil and Sabaan have both expressed a desire to interact with the Metallican District and the Mechanicus envoys. That leaves nine Marines. Who is important? Who do you wish to visit on this, your first full day of trying to influence the defense (and the defenders)?

Steel Company Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Tyber could go to Desaito, but I could really use knowing if he found anything relating to the Dark Lantern in the book before hand... Other than that, he'd be willing to go see the Navy or PDF.
