Lysimachus Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM (edited) Very curious. Not what I was expecting at all. Do we have anything aboard worth trading? Have we managed to bring anything (raw mined materials and/or noctilith in particular?) from Brimstone before it got smithereened? And the other side is, have they got anything we want? I very much doubt they're going to be interested in giving us a ship, and 6 vs 1 means we aren't taking one by force, so that is probably out? All of that of course depending on if they are "loyal Imperial subjects" who will/won't try to kill us as soon as they realise we are a Corsair ship... (I assume they don't know who/what we are, as they addressed us as 'unidentified ship'?) Edit: @Mazer Rackham do you want responses to the hail, or should we leave it now and tie off until restart?

Up to you - the proposal will set the scene for the next Part, and answer some of your queries, so either way is fine with me, although putting it to a vote I think is best. 18 minutes ago, Lysimachus said: Not what I was expecting at all.

Necronaut Posted Thursday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:19 PM @Lord_Ikka I think this is going to be your show, Mr. Charisma. Luckily, I think there's essentially none of us bearing any Chaos-related paraphernalia or ephemera (sigils and whatnot), barring perhaps a Tyrant's Claw here or there, so we might be able to pass ourselves off either as mercenaries or possibly the absolute scummiest rogue trader retinue in the history of rogue traders. In any event, Ukalegon with his room temperature IQ and smoovest of smoove brains will be happy to stand around and look menacing until it's ungabunga bonking time. Though, considering his, erm, obvious mutation, it might be best if we kept him hidden. That is, of course, unless this White Tigress is Heresy-curious and Crux'As can somehow dupe or otherwise sway her to our cause?

Lysimachus Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Very much agree with getting Crux'as up to the bridge to do the talking. I'd say not to stop entirely, but slow right down. Then reply and try to find out who this White Tigress is (who she is aligned with, etc) without giving too much away about ourselves, to make sure it isn't a trap. As to trading, I've got no objection to it, if we have something they want. The first thing on my wishlist in return would be more stuff to repair the Dredge, plus maybe more crewmen if they have any going spare? That's my vote, anyway... Just a thought, but if we still decide to go after Bounty, they might be able to give a (less suspicious) ride to an early infiltration team?

Ah, yes I recall now, the dents function like that of a carcharondontid's skin, and were added to reduce drag and improve performance.

Mazer Rackham Posted Thursday at 09:03 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:03 PM *Adjusts rear-view mirror* *Snaps off in hand* 'No, I think we'll leave it.' Spoiler Just as an aside, I was out with a mate to pick up a used car, and we looked around it, and he sat in it, and it creaked a bit, lots of rust, the rear-view fell off when he closed the door, and when he popped the bonnet, the prop literally broke off in his hand. He looked at it for a second, having previously dismissed all the other faults, put it back in the clips, closed the bonnet, and we walked off.

FabiusV4lcoran Posted Thursday at 09:35 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:35 PM (edited) Last I wrote Atesh was stuck in quarantine; I ain't trying to drag anyone down but I'm also cool with him rotting there till part 2. Whatever works in general. However, OOC I feel that a warband would be well-served by having a semi-legitimate ally in the rogue trader if we can ascertain that they're.....flexible. As a pirate, socio-economically Huron probably has some overlapping ties with the IMperium (rogue traders and mercs specifically) imo. Pirates usually do have someone to legitimize them so they can have more market access, right? It also strikes me that there is an applicable maxim here; something about beggars and choosing.

Necronaut Posted Friday at 03:31 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:31 AM (edited) It occurs to me that now is perhaps as good of a time as any for us to name our warband seeing as how we have a rather fully fleshed out roster. Some ideas come to mind: - Hagga's Heroes - The Crimson Permanent Assurance - Mongrel Battalion - Damage, Inc. - Cowboys from Heck - The Syndicate - Cabal of the Bleeding Eye - The Heartbreakers/Heart-Takers - The Dread Company or Dreadwatch - The Claws of Vengeance - The Machine Edited Friday at 03:36 AM by Necronaut Mazer Rackham and Xin Ceithan 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383216-bc-the-blackest-heart-ooc/page/86/#findComment-6158634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
