BadgersinHills Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I like @Necronaut's idea of pretending to work for a Rogue Trader, we could bypass some checks if we emphasize we're on an urgent mission.

I suspect it might not be a Red Corsair Astartes-y type of skill... can we not ask the ship's officers instead? Also, I agree if we are a civvie vessel, it makes sense to claim we are part of a RT fleet, we are heading out on a mission to (whatever the nearby system is called) and will hopefully be back in a few weeks.

Lysimachus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Hmm, this is the response I've come up with for Hagga, if everyone agrees with it, I'll repost in the IC: Hagga frowned. Telling lies, skulking and sneaking, were not in his nature. The negotiator, Crux’as, might have been useful at this point. Still, he had found that most mortals had an innate talent for falsehood. He addressed the bridge at large. “Tell them we are a Chartist ship, currently on contract with a Rogue Trader, and that we are on a private mission to whatever system is close enough to Kataris for us to travel there in the same time frame… but far enough away from it that we will not immediately be connected with the destruction of Nydax’ platform.” “Make up the names of the Captain and our vessel as you wish. If any of you know of a real Trader House that usually operates far from the Maelstrom Zone, claim alliance with that one. Select a suitable system for us to be travelling to. We are warriors, but you are sailors. We will trust to your collective knowledge of these stars to supply the necessary details.” Idea being to give the gist of the plan, and leave the crew officers to fill in the appropriate details (which they will realistically know better than any of us). It's also a way to show that while we are in command, we respect their expertise, thereby building morale?

Xin Ceithan Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I like it. Both the post and the idea to involve the crew. I mean technically both the Executioners and the Lamenters especially were heavily involved in naval actions during the War and I referred to Cyrandras being involved in RT activities, so the Astartes might have an idea of some Houses near the Maelstrom but we apparently do have a few former BF Maelstrom sailors and they are properly more up to speed BadgersinHills, Mazer Rackham, Lysimachus and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383216-bc-the-blackest-heart-ooc/page/114/#findComment-6162546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysimachus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Seriously, though, apologies, I take your point that a Magos is generally a higher rank than an Adept... but it's also true that anyone who has held any rank in any of the 'Adeptus' organisations can technically be referred to as an 'Adept'.
