Playing catch up, it's pretty hard to write a post about putting a car into gear!

Hi all, I am keen to update further and move this on, but some of it will depend on your actions. I will wait for Steel to update his placeholder and it would be beneficial to have another post by Reyner before I advance.

 

[Reyner]

I'll add an update today - Vaidan will accept the offer of the governor to go to the command chambers, I wonder if he could use the vox in there to contact Tyber and ask for a sitrep? 

[Commissar Molotov]

Whilst Vaidan is unhelmed, I assume that you can all vox one another at any point. It's entirely feasible that you might have some form of in-ear vox-bead. Indeed, Tyber is going to be voxing Vaidan soon, per Steel's post.

[Reyner]

Ah yeah missed Steels post. Oops :P

[Xin Ceithan]

I had to rewrite the missing post but it is now up. Doing the follow up now...

[Steel Company]

I'll try to find time today to get something out up, I'll also hold off having Tyber blasting anything until he hears back.

[Commissar Molotov]

Aside from the facetious comment to Mazer last night, something I do want to try to evoke with the Governor's manse is a sense of creeping unease (if not outright paranoia) - the idea that there could be an insidious threat nearby at any moment. It does, I think, need your cooperation to try to promote it, though - you can see Akkad checking the auspex, Sabaan keen to speak to the member of House Vortis, Vaidan momentarily distracted by Tyber's messages...

 

 

 

 

[Reyner]

Still a but rusty with the rules but can Vaidan do a Perception check using the same buffs as Slips used here?

From the sheet I have for Vaidan his perception is 42.

 

edit: guessing I won't get the +10 autosenses test without the helmet though!

You do get enhanced senses thanks to being an Astartes though.

Facetious comment? Didn't see it if there was one, just got the overtones of the build-up of suspense, which I tried to split the difference with by narrative assist and getting ready for when the Ferrum hits the Magnet...

Place holder replaced, I'm not totally happy with it, but my five year old is up and pestering me, while my wife is also busy with some house hold stuff....

[Mazer Rackham]

Looks good Steel.  I like the dramatic undertone of "Let me in...or else" :D

 

GM: What are you looking for - be specific...

 

Me:   GENESTEALERS GM,   GENESTEALERS!!!

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

Thanks MR, I've got my fingers crossed that combat will not happen, power blades can be down right nasty... but if it is and we live, then yay, power generator bracer and a one handed power sword for Tyber as loot, possibly....

 

For Tyber it's more a case of being surprised that an Imperial machine does not recognize his authority over it and is unsure how to treat it.

[Commissar Molotov]

Slips, don't forget that you all have the Deathwatch Training trait; whilst this is your first mission together and differences between the chapters is a key narrative aspect, you must have some method of communicating, perhaps as part of your hypno-indoctrination.

[Slips]

Oh I kept that in mind it was just my weird way of trying to put across that, much like the accents they would each individually have when speaking high and low gothic, so too could their Astartes Battle Sign have an “accent”

[Reyner]

I'll add an update soon - to see if the governor can do anything about the servitors, don't want Tyber and the guys to get chopped up by power swords!

[Steel Company]

Appreciated there Reyner, besides they could be useful to us too.

[Commissar Molotov]

Reyner, i think it would be hard for Vaidan to bounce from conversation to conversation. Paying attention to one would mean neglecting the other.

[Reyner]

He's a space marine! They are meant to be able to process information much faster than us mortals - I can edit it out if you prefer though 

Edited November 14, 2018 by Reyner

[Commissar Molotov]

They are on opposite sides of the room! Plus, if you were to neglect the governor it might have consequences...

[Reyner]

Fair point :P I'll remove it, someone else poke the guy!

[Steel Company]

Nice update MR, glad that it's Akkad and not Tyber there... Tyber would be showing nothing but contempt for these so called nobles... or might have executed one of them for treachery already, considering the conditions of the system defense ships when the Voice of Thunder arrived.

[Mazer Rackham]

Cheers Steel, although I think another one of our lads might do a bit of telling off and smiting one we find out who our viper in the nest is ;)
