Imperial Knights, gotta love big stompy tobots

[Mazer Rackham]

@Lord_Ikka Ah, but is your entrance music Transformers The Movie 'NRG's Instruments of Destruction', or 'Pacific Rim Overture'?

 

The people want to know.

 

@Marshal Valkenhayn Brother, just out of curiosity, how deep in the hot water do you want to start? Ankle, knee, hip etc?

[Marshal Valkenhayn]

20 fathoms.

So 120'

[Mazer Rackham]

Well, his character is in the Navy.

 

@Marshal Valkenhayn Gird thy loins, lad, you're going in.

My loins were born girded!

 

What sort of info is on the dataslate? Files about targets or allies? Any pictures? Or is it locked and I'm supposed to trust the person who can unlock it?

Would that we would all be so prepared!

 

The dataslate will open to your DNA print (so thumbprint etc) and will confirm your orders, signed and sealed by Inquisitor Lord, Garrad Locke, repurposing you for rapid deployment duties. You are to remain with the bird until Matthias 'Cutter' Beckett takes over as pilot.

 

Hope that helps.

We aren't buying this are we? What if we just tell Cutter in the Valkyrie to put a few Multilaser and Heavy Bolter salvos through the comm tower as he comes in to land? 

 

Edit: Are we all patched into the comm traffic, or is it just Falk who has access to both team and Arbites loops? (i.e. can we all hear what is happening?)

 

Edit edit: Did Reynard pick up anything from his Awareness Test? Looking generally around the pad, but mostly up at the east window - is it open, or little circular holes cut in the glass, anything like that?

@Marshal Valkenhayn nice first post! :)

 

@Lysimachus No windows open, and no convenient swiss-cheese to poke a barrel through. As for your awareness test, you could reflect that the glass is armoured, and therefore, (unlike real world, professional snipers who shoot through windows with a few notable exceptions) whilst the windows are closed, there can be no shot.

 

If there is one.

 

Besides, Guy could be genuine, just having a coffee break....

Indeed. I am assuming that Falk doesn't need to pass a scrutiny test here to be up the stairs with whatever arbites and/or high explosives are readily to hand?  (and Scourge if he is nearby)

 

Should have purchased that lascutter...

[Necronaut]

Post fixed/updated:

 

I will have a response/catch-up post done in a little bit.

I didn't call for one, so you would be right. I wanted to leverage enough 'lulwut' to no need it.

[Marshal Valkenhayn]

With Piloting (military Craft) of 38, would I know what this guy is doing, and if I should be shooting him in the head for not only walking into duty drunk, but impersonating a military asset?

 

Or, more concerningly, is he flipping the right switches and the wrong things are happening?

[Mazer Rackham]

You would certainly have knowledge of this type of craft. Feel free to give him a dressing down, but please make a Routine (+10 due to Pilot talent) Perception Test.

 

As with all tests, these should be done in your IC Post. 

[Marshal Valkenhayn]

Awesome. How do I do the spoilers thing?

 

 

I'll be making all my rolls for the game here:

Most recent are at the top of the list, and I'll try and edit the name to always show what I've rolled for. This is just for records though, as I'll always put the result in my post.

Don't worry about that for now, my man. Let's just get you rolling dice!

No they obviously weren't buying it. 

 

People remember Leon in a Respirator he was a Professional 

[Mazer Rackham]

Superb film. Got to be in my top ten.

[Machine God]

Obviously not everything drunk out of a hip flask is alcoholic, it could just be water.

[Marshal Valkenhayn]

Little ashamed to realize that my initial post had me in the wrong spot. I thought the Spaceport was part of the Gallows.

[Mazer Rackham]

Nah man, don't sweat it. We jump around a lot, and you're still finding your feet. FWIW I couldn't see anything tell-tale you were out of place, so...
