[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Xin Ceithan]

Good to hear from you, Mol!

 

I am having quite the mad week even by my professional standards.... if there are some rolls on Tech Use or the like to determine the status of the Warp Drive, please go ahead. I am looking forward having some time off by the weekend, so I can brew up some technobabble

[TechCaptain]

Tech is un used at the moment, lol. But waiting for input to initialize. 

[Noctus Cornix]

Glad to see we're back in action again. I know I had a plan on what I was going to do next with Montesa, but I can't for the life of me recall what it was.... 

 

I think I was waiting to see if I could get clarification on something. Again, I can't even recall what that question was.

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks for the continuing patience, all. I am trying to carve out more time in my work day to try to get posting done.

 

I will also send out a message on the email ring to try to draw more people back.

 

Hope all are well!

[Steel Company]

Glad to hear things are going well enough CM, things are hot here right now, so I'm laying low.

[Mazer Rackham]

Looking forward to seeing how things go from here :)

 

I echo Steel, good to hear, Mol.

 

Worry not brothers, for our nerves are of steel.  The tumult is not insurmountable!

Well met.  Forward, for the Deathwatch!

 

MR.

[TechCaptain]

Haven't seen any progress in awhile did this die? do to the long waits?

[Xin Ceithan]

Patience, Grasshopper!

[Steel Company]

To echo Xin, a lot of us have demanding lives, so we put a greater emphasis on that. I'm patiently awaiting CM's update.

[TechCaptain]

Patience I shall be practicing more then. And I understand demanding lives. I was just sounding out the area from the month of lack of even player banter. 

[Mazer Rackham]

I heard there was a lack of player banter and got here as fast as I could.

 

Do not fear TechCaptain - from your previous posts I know you crave something to fill the hours you are tracking UFO's er...maintaining your unceasing watch, but things will happen and when they do it will be fast and furious no doubt!

 

@XIn, oaths to the Deathwatch you say...not thorny thrones or ulterior motives?

 

On that note, @Steel perhaps we could teleport straight to the Dark Lantern when our mission is done (barring a TPK of course)? 

 

We have unfinished business there.  And with that Rogue Trader captain...

@MR

 

I'm all for getting to the Dark Lantern! I think it's a fun little plot hook that grabbed Tyber, a book he can't remember, it's vexing him greatly.

[Slips]

NGL ive been in a hell of a haze thanks to work being what it is for me so I havent been checking in here as frequently as I should have :\

[Xin Ceithan]

Oaths...uh.well..move along. Nothing to see here... :p

[ahem]

I plegde allegiance to the state... of rock'n' roll?

 

Edit: TBH, I think we wanted to keep the non relevant bantering down to a minimum, so as to not clog up this thread unnecessarily.

Question - have the demisquads regrouped at the teleportarium, or will the two advance apart?

[Commissar Molotov]

Hi, A.T.: my post was intended to just move us past a narrative sticking-point. The intention is that both Demi-Squads have reunited at the Teleportarium, so that I can move you off the Voice of Thunder and towards the objective - the Synapse Node of the Hive Ship.

 

If I've not made it clear, the Kill-Team have been able to sabotage the Voice of Thunder so that it will detonate - but conventionally, rather than igniting the warp-drive. It should still blow a hole in the side of the Hive Ship - but cutting its synapse link is the only sure-fire way to cut off the voice of the Hive Mind that is coordinating the Tyranids across the sector.

[TechCaptain]

Thanks for the update Mol. I am still here as well, reading up. Ready as ever to bring the Xeno Menance into the realm of Death to become the Trophies of the Hunt. 

[Noctus Cornix]

Glad we're all back in this, brothers! :D

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks for the awesome posts so far everyone..!

[Commissar Molotov]

Well, this should hopefully get us back on track. 

 

If you want to get up any suitably trippy posts of your characters during the warp translation, feel free to do so. In the first half of next week I will have the Kill-Team rematerialise deeper into the Hive Ship, and we should have managed to wrestle this beast back on track! 

 

For narrative expedience, we are not going to be particularly far from the "boss fight" - so be prepared! 

[Xin Ceithan]

Good to see you all back in the fight, brothers!

 

trippy posts, you say? Maybe there is a way to use those recent fever dreams for something entertaining  after all :p

[Slips]

Sorry guys ill try and get a post in asap

[Nineswords]

We're back!

 

Looking forward to the climax.
