[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Kelborn]

[Mazer Rackham]

Your first awesome moment, Kel. 

 

Boiling it down, the fate of your adoptive father, your quest to find him, and what you might have to do to meet him has now been inextricably tied to a web of possible deception and intrigue, involving a Planetary Governor, A Bastion Fleet of the Imperial Navy, 6 million dead citizens, two more hives of billions of loyal people, fanatics, Spyrers and mercenaries out to kill you all, and two separate Ordo Hereticus Cells.

 

First day on the job!

Apologies foe not posting/welcomimg- work and holiday crap has been super busy the last week...

 

Anyway, welcome to the party Kel, good luck!

[Machine God]

Happy New Year everybody!

[Mazer Rackham]

As MG said, HNY!

 

+ Informative Begins +

 

Unfortunately I'm sick as a dog, which has been slowing things down. Just an FYI, one of our players has informed me he's busy as crazy buttocks at the moment, and with the hollibobs and other imminent projects coming up things have slowed down more than I would have appreciated. Kudos to MG for keeping the vibe alive. 

 

I'll be reminding myself where the hell everybody is, who's died (or is about to), plot holes, and how many laws have been broken.

 

Once that is done, we can move forward without impeding anyone, as the party is spilt (again...).

I think that is our perpetual state.

 

 

Also all the best with getting better.

 Cheers.

 

I think I'm back up to speed as much as I can be - it's just a question of poking some scenes from my fever-dream brain.

[Trokair]

Good to hear, but if you need more rest take it.

 

 

If we are good to post again, I have a scene written up ready to go.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, go right ahead - have a look at what I've just flung up and weave as you need - or we'll adjust as required. I tried to leave it vague for folks.

[Trokair]

Done, I guess Falks depicted return happens after the current conversation has concluded. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Trokair]

Let’s hope I haven’t irrevocably destroyed some vital McGuffin/information but it felt way way too ‘Souron looking at the ringbearer’ I swear I heard the ‘I seeeeee Youuu!’

Pretty accurate, tbh.

 

Somewhere there is a frustrated tech-priest calling mechanicus tech support...."Have yer tried pluggin' eet in?"

De Grassi isn't the dude from the lift shaft, is he? Or related?

He is indeed the man from the lift shaft.

 

The one outside that likes to be a Malcadon in his spare time.

 

Who knows who you are.

[Lysimachus]

Cool. I'll work out a response this evening. 

[Lord_Ikka]

I'm sick with possible food poisoning, but I'll liok into this tomorrow. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Although I admire your dedication - just concentrate on getting well, Ikka!

 

And I hope it's soon. 

[Lysimachus]

Reynard isn't going to back down to the Noble's face, because a proper Inquisitorial Agent/Interrogator wouldn't... but when the dude leaves, he may need to go breathe into a bag for a few minutes before facing Aldario... 

[Mazer Rackham]

@A.T. go ahead and post with your arrival at whichever location uphive you'd prefer, (I'd prefer player-driven choice as opposed to just randomly dropping you somewhere - even if this is the Lower House etc) so it keeps you moving in tandem with the others. There has been more than enough time to secure transport, perhaps on a caravan, or even more securely in an Arbites personnel carrier redeploying the Judges.

 

I'll pick you and @Trokair up from there for an update. Is that alright lads?

[Trokair]

Dropped in a little bit and will await A.T. choice as to where the investigation leads.

[A.T.]

Arbites code 213 - something Falk would recognise from the list of crime designations or just the ident for 'wanted persons'?

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, Falk would recognise the Code as: 'Illegal use of explosives'.

[Trokair]

@A.T., Just so you are aware, Bardas changed his aperans before the Cafe scene (all the way back in november), though another Hat may be in order as he gave his new one to Reynard. 

 

Edit: Though perhaps he should do something baout the torn and damaged robes he still has on under the duster.
