@Mazer Rackham will do. I rolled up my stats and plugged the into the sheet.

 

Sound, cheers fella.

So, what have I missed?

 

The usual upbeat stuff.

 

No explosions yet, though. *Checks watch*

 

Hmm. Boom 'o clock.

[Mazer Rackham]

Just to make a note - chasing Helene is viable, it will be the more investigative mission of the two, and would suit Nicios well. The only thing that can detect Helene is a live creature (you could have worked that out, so it's not a big reveal). If you want a psychic bloodhound mission: this is it.

 

Going into Canthus is going to be what you make it. There is an item not currently in your possession which can make it easier.

[Lord_Ikka]

Oh, I figured that chasing her was possible, but given that she managed to rip through a SoB while unprepared for a fight, I'm not sure that going after her when she is no probably expecting trouble would be the best option at the moment. It might be better to have the team gel together against some more...mundane foes and get some more experience before attacking the weird psyker witch.

Interesting. Presumably, this is something that has already been mentioned? Anyone got any ideas?

 

Edit: Or something new that Vigilance can help us with?

Already mentioned. It's in the hive with you, and reasonably accessible.

Possibly the med-security card that stitches had.

 

Or a melta bomb. Meltabombs make everything easier.

Oh, that's a good point! Haven't the bad guys got that, though? Unless Stitches dropped it somewhere when they got jumped? Maybe we can examine any evidence gathered up from the site of the attack on the shuttle?

I must admit I wondered for a minute if Mazer was referring to the offer of an aircar... we could crash it through Canthus' front room window...

I left it fairly vague to give myself room. The bad guys don't have it.

Sounds like a fun time!

[Lord_Ikka]

Nothing says quiet,  tactical raid like slamming a vehicle into a building.

Just a thought, but if Vigilance was connected to Bardas when Reynard voxed Bardas just now, will Vigilance have heard? Are they all connected now, and we can report in/ask for advice or even orders?

[Mazer Rackham]

Unfortunately not, the room you're sharing with Drake is equipped with a secure stumm-barrier and shielding. Think of it like the briefing room in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

 

Having said that, we'll split the difference, and for narrative convenience have Bardas up to speed and in communication with Vigilance as soon as you emerge. The Vault can then be assumed to be fully appraised of the situation.

 

You can ask for info, updates or support as to any topic takes your fancy.

[Lysimachus]

Ok cool. Right, before we move away from Drake's office, let's see if we can get any info on the location of the med card...

[Mazer Rackham]

Ok guys, you can change the clothes narratively, no need to spend money for it. You can leave the cogitator core with Bardas in the Tech labs, unless Tro wants to 'join' you in the back of the van. If there's anything you want to do around the Halls of Judgement, feel free to attend to that narratively as well.

 

Otherwise, your chariot awaits.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Looks safe.

[Mazer Rackham]

Luxury vehicle this. No brakes, no airbags, no seatbelts. All removed on the 'sport' model you see here.  Not only does it improve performance, but you can quickly change the radio station and swap seats with your friends when you stop.

Coloured in White with a muddy rear door with 'Wash Me' fingered into the grime. Folded copy of The Sol on the dashboard?

[Mazer Rackham]

I was planning on having it be black with a red stripe, but when in Peckham...

What about a 'Cut and Shut' lengthwise?

 

One half: Black with a Red Stripe

 

and 

 

The other half Red with a White Stripe.

 

The stripes meet at the middle of the Air Dam. 

[Mazer Rackham]

How about you just get in and drive/fly - or are you ain't getting on no plane, Hannibal? ;p

[Lysimachus]

Hmm, I wasn't thinking about the environmental conditions outside, if its only saving half an hour maybe stick with the internal route...?

 

Edit: never mind...

@Mazer Rackham - GM. I made my rolls and I'm just trying to make a Narrative. Is the Spaceport above the smog cloud?

[Mazer Rackham]

Indeed it is. Show me those catlike piloting moves.

Feel free to include Reynard pointing out other traffic or helping steer against the wind, etc, etc if it fits with the +10 Assist?
