Mazer Rackham Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I, personally, do not discriminate between ranks and use them all interchangeably. Victim, Player, Deadman, Meatsack, Shovelbait, Corpse-in-waiting, Candidate for pre-explosion, The list goes on, but it's always done with respect and affection. Or at least that's what your headstones will say.

Necronaut Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 @Mazer Rackham did we dedicate the station raid to a particular chaos god? I vaguely remember it being suggested we dedicate this to Khorne.

Lysimachus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) An alternative suggestion, if people would prefer not to use the RT idea? “Tell them we are a privately owned ship, currently on our way to hunt xenos raiders in a nearby system - one that 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. Select a suitable system to claim we are travelling to. We are warriors, but you are star-sailors. We will trust to your collective knowledge to supply the necessary details.” The hunting story fits with having the DEldar bodies, though my only concern with that is, aren't we admitting to being a private military vessel? We obviously aren't Imperial Navy, and if we aren't connected with a RT or Chartist/Merchant Navy, would they be ok with us sailing around?

Necronaut Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Having reread this, you do bring up a good point about us publicly broadcasting that we're a private mercenary vessel in Imperial space. That would raise eyebrows. I'm coming back around to saying we're working for so-and-so Rogue Trader, (maybe even the White Tigress herself or possibly that Nydax fellow to really confuse matters?) and stating we're in effect hunting the aliens for some slight or another (stolen trinkets, a maimed household pet, blue dye put in the punch bowl at a birthday party, that sort of thing), essentially something that honour would demand retribution for the slight but only annoying enough to send our angry little dinghy out to deal with, something to which the guy working the passport control desk could turn to his colleague with an eyeroll and just say "bloody nobles" in response and then promptly forget.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Claim that we're part of a Rogue Trader flotilla pirate-hunting, but don't mention which one unless pressed? No need to give away too much information, and we don't want to tip our hand in case word gets back to Nydax that someone's sailing around claiming his colors. Unless we have to, that is.

Lysimachus Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Seriously, though, have we got that? If it's a requirement and we don't, I'm really not sure why we came this way?

Mazer Rackham Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 (edited) There is one 'person' on this ship with a very silver tongue, though... Alternatively, on an Opposed, Hard (-20) Tech Use Test, you could 'fudge' some e-documents which would pass muster. If you want to quit the gate, you can do that. I'll make a roll against how much traffic they have vs how much they're glad to see the back of you. Will take you longer to get to the target, though - essentially coming this way was faster. Up to you.

Lysimachus Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Hmm, what do we think, gents? Option 1 (ask Delly for help, I think is the implication?) seems like a really bad idea to me... Option 2 - faking some travel visas @Machine God what's your target on a -20 Tech-Use test? I'd say depending on the odds, that might be a better option than... Option 3 - running seems like a mistake now we're here? Just going to draw more unwanted attention, especially now we've spoken to them? But it very much depends on MG's chances of success?
