  232. Gru_Persay "Sergeant Mauler, keep the data stale. I have the information imprinted into memory."
  233. TheResilientGM "Then get us there as quick as we can."
  234. Gru_Persay +Gentlemen, let's go! We are wasting time+
  235. TheResilientGM "Corporal Pierov" a guardsman identifies himself to Kass.

  248. Schneider "Hector gimme the melta."
  249. Victrus_Macharius "yea, I hear it to"

  253. Schneider readies his melta.
  254. Gru_Persay "Shall we disable it? It's powering the comms station and the brig."
  255. Kass_Yonova "Well orders are to disable enemy communications..."
  256. TheResilientGM You reach the opening on the side of the road. If the schematics are correct, the generator should be on the next corner.
  257. Schneider "Should I hit it?"
  258. Gru_Persay "Around the corner. Up that path. We should be able to see it."
  259. Gru_Persay "There's building behind the generator from our position."
  260. TheResilientGM "Everyone, on point." calls the sergeant.

  271. Victrus_Macharius pulls out lasgun
  272. Gru_Persay "Disgusting creatures. Defiling a blessing."
  273. TheResilientGM The squad opens up on the enemy pair as they advance. The men collapse, immediately followed by a melta blast which destroys the generator.

  297. Artem_Gusarov "More technicians. Two on the first floor, four on the second."
  298. Gru_Persay "There's a personnel entrance leading toward the 2nd floor where the comms station is. The main gate leads towards the 1ft floor for the vehicles. The Generator is past the depo towards the south. Exact location is unknown."
  299. TheResilientGM "Schneider and Gusarov, take the two on the first floor, everyone else, haul ass to the entrance and prepare to clear out the second floor."

  331. TheResilientGM "Fecking rebels!... SHIT!"
  332. TheResilientGM the sergeant falls to the ground, and shoots his laspistol repeatedly at one of the dead enemy
  333. Kass_Yonova rushes over to the wounded NCO. "Easy Sarge, lemme have a look at that. Take it easy."
  334. Gru_Persay "Medic!"
  335. Kass_Yonova "Vikk! Get over here!"
  336. TheResilientGM "Shit! ON my way!" calls Vikk as he comes up.
  337. TheResilientGM He lays down the medicae equipment.
  338. TheResilientGM "No time to lose... shit... Cog-boy, scramble for the enemy Company's frequency."
  339. Gru_Persay heads towards comms console and uses it.
  340. Kass_Yonova Using the narthecium and medikit, Kass quickly cleans and bandages the wound with some synth-skin and bandages. "That'll leave a nasty burn-scar, sarge, but you should be fine. Though I'd get it checked out when we get back to our lines."
  341. TheResilientGM "Thanks..." the sergeant tries to get up.
  342. Victrus_Macharius goes to check on the wounded technician he shot moments ago
  343. TheResilientGM "Techpriest. Give them false coordinates."
  344. Victrus_Macharius "This guy is still alive."
  345. Gru_Persay scans the enemy frequency and transmits false information towards enemy lines.
  346. TheResilientGM "Now lock up their comms."
  347. Gru_Persay attempts to lock the comms.
  348. TheResilientGM Suddenly, the artillery batteries all fall silent.
  349. Artem_Gusarov "I think they realized we've taken over."
  350. Artem_Gusarov "We should probably skedaddle the fuck out of here."
  351. TheResilientGM As they adjust, you can suddenly hear the assault all around you.
  352. Kass_Yonova "Either way that can't be a good sign."
  353. Victrus_Macharius "Fuck, I hope not"
  354. TheResilientGM The batteries open up once more...
  355. Artem_Gusarov "Fuck!"
  356. TheResilientGM this is then followed by...
  357. TheResilientGM cheering.
  358. TheResilientGM You realize Prithians have pushed forward. They seem to be celebrating whatever behavior they observe in the enemy guns.
  359. Gru_Persay "When uttering the incantation, mark well that the rod is upon and not within the intake...."
  360. TheResilientGM "Tap into our own comms now" the sergeant commands.
  361. Artem_Gusarov "I... what the fuck is wrong with your regiment?"
  362. Gru_Persay connects to friendly comms.
  363. Kass_Yonova shrugs.
  364. TheResilientGM +... into the sea. All units procees with advance.+
  365. Victrus_Macharius "Your guess is as good as mine."
  366. Gru_Persay switches to speaker mode.
  367. TheResilientGM +Repeat, enemy is firing directly into the sea. All units proceed with advance.+
  368. Victrus_Macharius lets out a sigh of relief
  369. Gru_Persay "Sign off?"
  370. TheResilientGM Before the enemy can realize the mistake, and correct their coordinates, the compound is overrun.
  371. TheResilientGM One by one, you can hear the batteries silenced by Imperial troops.
  372. Artem_Gusarov "Wait, was that you?"
  373. Kass_Yonova "Seems some in our regiment aren't all that crazy, stalker."
  374. TheResilientGM Outside, you hear the panicked shouts of the routing enemy, trying to find refuge where they can.
  375. Gru_Persay "It was the God Machine's will."
  376. Schneider 'Should we clear them out Sarge?"
  377. Artem_Gusarov "Not bad."
  378. Artem_Gusarov casually kills the downed man and gives Gru his looted laspistol
  379. Artem_Gusarov "There you go, slightly used."
  380. Gru_Persay "Thanks."
  381. TheResilientGM Finally, the transmission comes in. +Prithian Objectives complete. 2nd and 3rd Companies, mission complete. Return to forward base. Vonayan assets to report to Colonel Stieglitz and prepare for redeployment.+
  382. Victrus_Macharius "Gru, you still have my laspistol?"
  383. Gru_Persay "It's somewhere on the floor."
  384. Victrus_Macharius "Ok then I think I see it"
  385. Kass_Yonova "Well, glad that's over. You heading back to your unit then, Artem?"
  386. Victrus_Macharius picks up laspistol
  387. TheResilientGM As you find your way back to a transport, you hear that the enemy Captain was captured hiding in a medicae center. Once you return to the destroyed comms facility --site of the dreaded friendly-fire incident-- you see the Vonayans in full force, rallying up.
  388. Artem_Gusarov "Yeah. Don't think our regiments will be cooperating much, for obvious reasons."
  389. TheResilientGM Your operator stops the transport. +We got a Vonayan on board?+
  390. Artem_Gusarov "So I guess this is farewell, then. You guys did pretty good, for greens."
  391. Schneider "Ya didn't like our times together Artem?"
  392. Kass_Yonova "Take care of yourself Artem. You stalkers are an alright bunch."
  393. Artem_Gusarov "No, you guys were fine. Very competent, unlike your COs. I like that."
  394. Gru_Persay "Meat will miss you."
  395. Victrus_Macharius "Good luck Artem"
  396. Artem_Gusarov "Try not to let them fuck you over too much. You got a cogboy, ask him to cause 'malfunctions' if you have to."
  397. TheResilientGM Meat unnveringly stares at the Vonayan.
  398. Kass_Yonova "We'll keep that in mind."
  399. TheResilientGM "You're an indisciplined, rabble-like group, all of you." comments the sergeant
  400. TheResilientGM "But Emperor knows that if it weren't for the intel you gathered, we'll be all dead."
  401. Artem_Gusarov "Won't deny the undisciplined part, but we know our business. Later, guys. Try to stay alive for another campaign or two."
  402. Artem_Gusarov tosses Kass a small puch and walks off
  403. Artem_Gusarov pouc*
  404. Artem_Gusarov pouch*
  405. Artem_Gusarov It is full of rusty bolts
  406. Artem_Gusarov walks off into the sunset before they can ask what the fuck happened
  407. TheResilientGM "Vonayan currency, no doubt..."
  408. Kass_Yonova Kass graps the pouch out of the air, and looks inside. "Thanks?"
  409. Gru_Persay "Meat has something to much on."
  410. |<-- Artem_Gusarov has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
  411. Kass_Yonova pockets the bag of rusty bolts. "Souvenirs!"
  412. TheResilientGM The Vonayan disembarked, the transport continues.
  413. TheResilientGM As you arrive back at base, you realize it no longer is controlled by the Prithian companies. The skies are as busy as you've ever seen them.
  414. TheResilientGM The Aeronautica Imperialis has been ceded the archipelago as an operations base. No doubt, they'll remember your sacrifice.
  415. TheResilientGM As you disembark, a Prithian Commissar approaches you.
  416. Kass_Yonova shoulders his lasgun and then salutes the Commissar as he approaches.
  417. TheResilientGM Sergeant Mauler calls, "SQUAD AT ATTENTION!"
  418. Victrus_Macharius stands at attention
  419. TheResilientGM Vikk, and Hector both snap into line and salute.
  420. Gru_Persay "Meat. Stand."
  421. Victrus_Macharius salutes to the Commissar
  422. TheResilientGM The servitor keeps walking... aimlessly forward.
  423. Gru_Persay "Meat. Stop."
  424. TheResilientGM "MASTER, YES"
  425. TheResilientGM The servitor collapses.
  426. Schneider salutes the commissar.
  427. TheResilientGM "You're Schoenfeld's men?"
  428. TheResilientGM "Yes, my lord" answers Mauler
  429. TheResilientGM "Then you'll finish up your Colonel's work before you leave. Come with me."
  430. TheResilientGM The sergeant stretches his tunic sligthly, and fixes his hair.
  431. TheResilientGM "Squad, left face! Forward March!"
  432. Schneider stands straight and marches.
  433. Kass_Yonova starts marching.
  434. TheResilientGM The Commissar takes you behind the prefab building familiar to Yonova... that used by the Prithians as a brig.
  435. Victrus_Macharius starts martching
  436. Gru_Persay "Meat. Get. UP."
  437. Gru_Persay follows behind the squad.
  438. TheResilientGM The servitor fails to get up. It rolls towards his master instead.
  439. TheResilientGM As you approach the read of the building, a prisoner is brought forward.
  440. TheResilientGM He is allowed dress-uniform.
  441. TheResilientGM Another follows. He is not given the priveledge of the first... you recognize him as your former Lieutenant.
  442. TheResilientGM Storm troopers line them both up against the wall.
  443. Kass_Yonova "May the Emperor have mercy upon our fellow Prithians..."
  444. TheResilientGM Without a word being said, the sergeant knows exactly what his orders are.
  445. TheResilientGM "Squad, in single-file... HALT!"
  446. TheResilientGM He positions you parallel to the squad.
  447. TheResilientGM "Left face!"
  448. Kass_Yonova halts and turns left.
  449. Schneider follows Kass
  450. Victrus_Macharius halts and turns left
  451. TheResilientGM "Ready lasguns!"
  452. TheResilientGM The sergeant unholsters his chainsword.
  453. Kass_Yonova brings his lasgun to his shoulder, aiming it at the two prisoners.
  454. Schneider raises his lasgun
  455. TheResilientGM He looks at his squad, and reports, "Squad ready, my Lord!"
  456. Victrus_Macharius unholsters lasgun
  457. TheResilientGM "The good Captain shall be redeemed first" the Commissar calmly notes.
  458. TheResilientGM "On my command!"
  459. TheResilientGM "FIRE!"
  460. Kass_Yonova fires his lasgun, not staring directly at the man he's executing.
  461. Schneider fires
  462. Victrus_Macharius takes aim and fires while trying not to look into the man's eye
  463. TheResilientGM Your comrades follow. The body of the Captain in his Prithian blues slumps over and falls unceremoniously.
  464. TheResilientGM "Take aim!"
  465. Gru_Persay "Even though you called him friend, the Traitor has forsaken you. Show no mercy even if he begs it, for his soul is tainted and given the opportunity he will betray your trust."
  466. Schneider aims
  467. Victrus_Macharius aims
  468. TheResilientGM "Fire!"
  469. Victrus_Macharius fires at the other man
  470. Kass_Yonova fires again.
  471. TheResilientGM "Dismissed, Sergeant." nods the Commissar, and walks away.
  472. TheResilientGM "What the hell was that..." Mauler says to himself.
  473. Kass_Yonova "You mean the execution, Sarge?"
  474. TheResilientGM "Officers? This early in a campaign? Can't say I've heard of it in a Prithian regiment, is all."
  475. Victrus_Macharius "Why were we pick to execute them?" Victus says to Mauler
  476. TheResilientGM "I have more questions than answers, Private."
  477. Kass_Yonova "Well, sir, let's just say they deserved it."
  478. TheResilientGM "I'm sure of it, Corporal."
  479. TheResilientGM "Set up in the Prithian quarter of the Aeronautica base until we're sent out again. Dismissed."
  480. Kass_Yonova Kass salutes before moving off.
  481. Victrus_Macharius salutes and head off to the lounge to gets some R&R

  486. TheResilientGM "Tech-priests... whole lot of you now that the machines have made planet-fall."
  487. Victrus_Macharius heads to the quatermaster tent and ends up behind Gru
  488. TheResilientGM "What do you need?
  489. Gru_Persay "I require some Frag and Krak grenades. In addition, I need some ammo for my autogun, pistol, and shotgun."

  493. Gru_Persay "Thank you."
  494. Gru_Persay leaves the QM.
  495. TheResilientGM The day finally arrives. Prithian elements are to be sent to 3rd Division's HQ on Fallwin Island. You are all rounded up, and prepared for an assembly prior to boarding your transports. In it, your squad is honored with the Cannonade Breachman's Medal, and recognized by 2nd and 3rd Companies for your service in leading the infantry assault on the artillery positions and comms centers of the
  496. TheResilientGM enemy HQ. You are also credited, having jammed the enemy communications for as long as you did, for disrupting the enemy Captain's attempted escape.
  497. TheResilientGM You are finally rounded up and transported off the Archipelago.
  498. TheResilientGM Upon arrival, you see a formidable emplacement. The HQ appears to be indestructable. You are quickly processed, and your merits recognized, resulting in reassigned roles on your service chits.
  499. Schneider looks slightly strange without the bulbous flamer tank strapped to his back.
  500. TheResilientGM You are finally given an assigned quarters, specifically for your squad. The Quartermaster has delivered your new equipment directly there, placed under guard until your arrival.
  501. Victrus_Macharius "So Schneider, no more Flamer then?"
  502. TheResilientGM "Please stop saying that..." Hector begs
  503. Schneider "Nope Hector and I are Jaegers now" He smiles widely.
  504. Kass_Yonova "Poor Hector, he must hate it."
  505. TheResilientGM As you get acquainted with your new home, you are approached by a squad of stormtroopers escorting a member of the Colonel's staff.
  506. Victrus_Macharius "I do missing that autocannon, but now I got this Bolter here. I think its going to make thing interesting."

  508. TheResilientGM "Gentlemen, if you would please join us in the Command Bunker."
  509. Kass_Yonova snaps off a salute, "Aye, sir."
  510. Victrus_Macharius salutes, "Yes Sir" and follows
  511. Schneider salutes and follows.
  512. TheResilientGM Once inside, you realize it's more than a bunker. It's a rather large reinforced compound. You realize it's more heavily staffed than even Stieglitz's.
  513. TheResilientGM On one end of the compound, you spot Colonel Schoenfeld. He is surrounded by his many advisors, including one particularly odd fellow who approaches you as soon as he sees you.
  514. TheResilientGM "Men, this is Preceptor-Savant Lumis" the escorting staff member informs you.
  515. TheResilientGM The man's slim figure takes a slow bow.
  516. Kass_Yonova sets his jaw, and salutes the man.
  517. TheResilientGM "There have been reports that require the delicate attention of those more in-touch with the blessings of the Emperor" he begins.
  518. Kass_Yonova "That would be us, sir?"
  519. TheResilientGM "The vigilance of the Imperial Guard, I am affraid, is not enough. As such, I will ask that you provide aid to our good Colonel in this matter, and take with you my apprentice" as soon as he finishes the sentence, a man in a large tunic, covered in runes, enters your room.
  520. TheResilientGM "Brave guardsmen, I present to you, Animus."
  521. Animus "Hello Friends" he says with a smile and a bow
  522. TheResilientGM "Uhh" Hector struggles to keep his mouth shut
  523. Victrus_Macharius says to self "Dear Emperor"
  524. Schneider "The fuck"
  525. Animus "nice weather huh?"
  526. Gru_Persay "My circuits... they burn."
  527. TheResilientGM Storm troopers elbow Schneider on his side.
  528. TheResilientGM "Mind your tongue, trooper."
  529. Kass_Yonova "Right, well, welcome to the squad..." Kass looks at Vikk for a moment.
  530. Schneider gives the storm trooper a glace as if the guy is insane.
  531. TheResilientGM Vikk seems unable to look away... he doesn't blink, eyes darting back and forth between the psykers.
  532. Animus looks at Schneidar and smiles
  533. Kass_Yonova "With all due respect sir, is this a good idea?"
  534. Schneider looks at the psyker and scratches the stubble on his neck.
  535. TheResilientGM Lumis stares at Yonova, clearly annoyed.
  536. TheResilientGM The Colonel joins you, then, breaking the tension slightly.
  537. Kass_Yonova "M'lord." Kass goes instantly to attention.
  538. TheResilientGM "I'm sure your varied skills will complement eachother well on the battlefield."
  539. Victrus_Macharius swallows
  540. Victrus_Macharius his own words
  541. TheResilientGM Hector and Vikk snap at attention.
  542. Kass_Yonova "Uh, of course, sir." Kass fidgets a bit. Can't go against the Colonel.
  543. Schneider "Uh well there's a reason why you're in charge Sir so I won't question it."
  544. TheResilientGM "No. You won't." The Colonel sternly repeats.
  545. Animus continues to smile awkwardly at everyone before him
  546. TheResilientGM "Now, Animus, you are to be quartered with your new squad. We will have aides help set you up."
  547. Animus 'Sounds wonderful"
  548. Gru_Persay "I believe I felt a cold chill down my spine. This is odd concerning I no longer have flesh."
  549. Animus "why do you feel this shiver friend?"
  550. Victrus_Macharius thinks to himself, man this guy got a creepy smile
  551. Schneider mumbles to Hector "Well this is going to be fun."
  552. TheResilientGM "Let me be clear," the Colonel says, "you WILL function as a unit. And you most certainly will not disappoint me. I will hear no more protests or reservations. Dismissed."
  553. Schneider salutes "Yes Sir!"
  554. Victrus_Macharius salutes
  555. Animus salutes
  556. Gru_Persay "I have no choice. This is the will of the Machine God."
  557. Kass_Yonova salutes, about-faces sharply, and exits the compound, heading back to his quarters.
  558. TheResilientGM As you find your way back to your quarters you spot a trooper laying on one of the bunks.
  559. TheResilientGM He gets up, and lays on another.
  560. TheResilientGM He's about to do this once more, before he notices your presence and stops.
  561. Kass_Yonova "Excuse me, what are you doing in our quarters? Who even are you, trooper? State your name and rank."
  562. TheResilientGM The trooper stops nervously and salutes.
  563. Schneider "The hell are you doing on my bed?"
  564. TheResilientGM "Sir! Private Koeln! Reporting for duty!"
  565. Animus "hello friend"
  566. TheResilientGM "I am to open fire on the mutant upon sign of daemonic possession, Sir!"
  567. TheResilientGM "Colonel's Order's, Sir!"
  568. Schneider "Well then make yourself at home!"
  569. Animus extends hands to the private"
  570. Kass_Yonova "Ah, you're his minder. Well have fun trooper, he's your responsibility."
  571. TheResilientGM "Y-yes, sir."
  572. Animus continues to extend hand for handshake
  573. Schneider turns to Gru, "Ya wanna do me a favor buddy?"
  574. TheResilientGM "Mind the distance, daemon!"
  575. Gru_Persay "Sure."
  576. TheResilientGM Vikk stares at the newcomer.
  577. Animus smiles and lowers hand
  578. TheResilientGM "I mean... I'm sorry."
  579. Animus "off to a great start."
  580. Animus walks over to corner and sits down
  581. Kass_Yonova "No offense, but your kind aren't exactly welcome, but orders are orders. Just don't do anything funny and we'll all be happy, I hope."
  582. Schneider "I need you to upgrade my new long las Gru, if you'd be so kind."
  583. Gru_Persay "What upgrades do you require?"
  584. Animus pays no mind to Kass
  585. Kass_Yonova shakes Vikk by the shoulder. "Stop staring at him, Vikk, it's bad for your eyes. See to the medical gear, I hope it's all here this time."
  586. TheResilientGM Inside the quarters, on the far end, has been placed a working station with the Adeptus Mechanicus emblem. A note is left, "gifts for Enginseer-Prime Gru".
  587. Victrus_Macharius heads over to his bed and lies down
  588. Gru_Persay opens the gift.
  589. Schneider gets out his long las. "Well it could use a longer barrel for more range, modify the stock and make a custom grip so it fits the hand better."
  590. Schneider "Oh and improve the trigger how could I forget!"
  591. Animus goes to quartermaster and requests some form of bedding
  592. TheResilientGM The guards refuse to let him in to see the quartermaster.
  593. Animus returns to the quarters
  594. Schneider "If you need me I'll be at the quartermasters."
  595. Schneider leaves and heads out to the quartermaster."
  596. Gru_Persay activates Mechadendrite and commands Meat to assist.
  597. TheResilientGM "Name, rank, assigned Company," the quartermaster unceremoniously demands.
  598. Schneider "Trooper Schneider 3rd Company Sir."
  599. TheResilientGM "Mhmmm..." he looks through a console.
  600. Gru_Persay begins upgrade on the Long Las.
  601. TheResilientGM "New arrivals at Division HQ?"
  602. TheResilientGM "Ah, yes... there you are. Brand new entry. What is it I can help you with?"
  603. Victrus_Macharius gets up from his bed and opens up the tent flaps to air out the smoke Gru is producing
  604. Schneider "I'm lookin for a laser sight. Got any of those?"
  605. TheResilientGM "None I can afford you, I'm afraid" he shakes his head.
  606. Victrus_Macharius leaves the tent to go to the QM
  607. Schneider "Damn, oh well maybe next time."

  613. Victrus_Macharius "Victrus Macharius, Private, 3rd Company"
  614. TheResilientGM "Uh-huh..."
  615. TheResilientGM he looks through his console once more.
  616. TheResilientGM "And what is it I can help you with?"
  617. Victrus_Macharius "I need a weapon grip and also a fan"
  618. TheResilientGM "Weapon grip... well, what sort?"
  619. Victrus_Macharius "I mean I need a block of Polymer"
  620. Gru_Persay "In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."
  621. TheResilientGM "Oh, a craftsman, are you?"
  622. Victrus_Macharius "not really, our Tech Priest is needs it to create a custom grip"
  623. TheResilientGM The man walks out back, "Techpriest? Interesting..." he comes back with a block of polymer.
  624. Victrus_Macharius "yep"
  625. TheResilientGM "As for a fan..."
  626. TheResilientGM he fills out a requisition form, and adds his seal. He hands you the parchment.
  627. Gru_Persay starts polishing the weapon.
  628. TheResilientGM "Take this to the weapon's depot. They'll give you something."
  629. Victrus_Macharius takes parchment
  630. Victrus_Macharius "Thank you, have a good day sir"
  631. TheResilientGM The man nods.
  632. Victrus_Macharius heads off to the weapon's depot
  633. TheResilientGM The quartermaster eyes you oddly,
  634. TheResilientGM "Weren't you just here?"
  635. TheResilientGM "Listen, you've had your share. Unless you come in with a mission gear requisition form, you'd best stop wasting my time."
  636. Victrus_Macharius "oh shit. Um. Bye"
  637. Victrus_Macharius walk out as fast as possible to the vehicle depot
  638. Schneider returns to the squad. "Gru how's it going did you finish it?"
  639. Victrus_Macharius arrives at the vehicle depot, "hello, anyone here?"

  645. Gru_Persay "Use this Omnissiah's blessing well."
  646. Schneider "Oh I will."
  647. Victrus_Macharius looks around the vehicle depot for anyone
  648. TheResilientGM "Can I help you?" a man dressed in the tunic of a Prithian Tank Commander asks.
  649. Victrus_Macharius "Hello, I was told by the Quarter Master to come here and to bring this to someone here" pulls out the parchment
  650. TheResilientGM "I'll have a look at that" he approaches.
  651. Kass_Yonova has been lying in his bunk, reading a worn out adventure novel he's borrowing from the CMO.
  652. Victrus_Macharius hands him the Parchment
  653. TheResilientGM "Sir..." private Koel interrupts the medic.
  654. TheResilientGM "Sir, which bunk may I take?"
  655. TheResilientGM The Commander looks over the parchment, slightly confused. "Fan?"
  656. Kass_Yonova looks at the trooper. "Any that is available. I'm curious though, why were you lying in each bed before we came back? They're all the same."
  657. Victrus_Macharius "yea we need one for our Tech Priest, when he has his Mechadendrite turned on, it begins to produces lots of smoke"
  658. TheResilientGM "Erm... you can use this. It's powerful, though. You may want to build it a shield."
  659. TheResilientGM He points to one of the ventilator ducts in the warehouse.
  660. Victrus_Macharius "well we will improvise then, Thanks"
  661. Victrus_Macharius heads over and grabs on of the Ventilator duct and heads back to the barracks
  662. Victrus_Macharius returns to the barracks, "Hey Gru, I got a block of Polymer so that you can make a custom grip for my bolter if you can, and this Ventilator Duct"
  663. TheResilientGM "Ventilator Duct..." Hector comments
  664. Gru_Persay "That was a lot of infor....A Vent Duct?"
  665. Schneider "Looks like our venting problems are solved and it won't get hot in here!"
  666. Gru_Persay "What's the vent duct for?"
  667. TheResilientGM "Doesn't look safe," Vikk calls from his bunk.
  668. Victrus_Macharius "yep, though you are going to have to make some sort of shield to it doesn't kill some one or take off Meat's head or something"
  669. Schneider "So we can breath while you release all that gas."
  670. Animus pushes into the mind of the creature, and remembering earlier comments sends the thing straight for schneiders nuts
  671. Gru_Persay "Might as well head to the scrapyard and find something to use as a shield." Gru heads to the Vehicle Depo.
  672. TheResilientGM Schneider is able to spot the incoming mammal, but not before it climbs on his foot.
  673. Schneider throws his knife at the offending animal impaling it to the ground. "Hey look Hector we have dinner tonight!"
  674. Victrus_Macharius places the Vent Duct by the Work Station and the block of Polymer on the Station

  680. Victrus_Macharius goes back to laying on his bed till Gru comes back
  681. Animus smiles " good kill friend!"
  682. Schneider "Mess hall food gets boring after a while. Plus Hector is a pretty good cook."
  683. Schneider "Isn't that right?"
  684. TheResilientGM Upon arrival, the Tank Commander stops Gru.
  685. Kass_Yonova "Can't say I'd want to test that." He finishes before going back to his book.
  686. Gru_Persay "Hello."
  687. TheResilientGM "Look, you already sent enough techpriests today. Enough of the rituals."
  688. Gru_Persay "I'm just looking for some scrap like a vehicle grill."
  689. TheResilientGM "Oh..." he looks back.
  690. TheResilientGM "Look back there. Help yourself," he points.
  691. Gru_Persay "Thank you."
  692. Gru_Persay grabs the share grill and heads back.

  704. Animus brings the tools in a swirling mass around the tech priest, bringing them within a second of his command
  705. TheResilientGM You can hear, from several kilometers away. The all-too-familiar sound of artillery batteries opening up.
  706. Kass_Yonova sits up quickly. "Oh feck. WE GOT INCOMING!"
  707. Schneider "Son of a bitch!"
  708. Kass_Yonova "Find cover, now!"
  709. Victrus_Macharius sits up "Shit, what is it"
  710. Animus releases his concentration and lowers the tools
  711. Gru_Persay "Meat. Sit."
  712. Kass_Yonova rolls off the bed and goes prone.
  713. TheResilientGM Koeln jumps up. "No, no! It's okay! Calm down!"
  714. Kass_Yonova "Something you wanna tell us, Trooper?"
  715. Victrus_Macharius drops to the floor to take cover
  716. Schneider grabs Koeln and pulls him down. "Get down ya idiot."
  717. TheResilientGM "Colonel has artillery open up every evening. He's hammering enemy positions as they return from their patrols."
  718. Gru_Persay "Thank you, Animus. I can finish it from here."
  719. Animus "anytime, nice to be able to practice."
  720. TheResilientGM "I know you've... had experiences with artillery, but we're safe here. Friendly guns!" he giggles nervously.
  721. Animus smiles awkwardly at him
  722. Kass_Yonova "Well shite, I wish someone had told us that." Kass gets up and dusts off his tunic.
  723. Gru_Persay "Try being blasted by friendly Valkyries then say that."
  724. TheResilientGM "You... you were there?!" his eyes open wide.
  725. Schneider pulls Koeln up by his collar."
  726. TheResilientGM "The friendly fire incident?"
  727. Kass_Yonova "Literally. Some of the men under my command went deaf."
  728. Victrus_Macharius "Same" Victrus says as he gets up from the floor
  729. Kass_Yonova "The blast was so large some of us learned what it was like to fly...unfortunately."
  730. Schneider "You're gonna see some shit man."
  731. Kass_Yonova "Isn't that right, Vikk?"
  732. Gru_Persay "Meat lost his face and a part of his arm."
  733. TheResilientGM "Oh..." his eyes dart back and forth between you.
  734. Schneider "Don't forget that mortar platoon I took out single handedly!"
  735. TheResilientGM "It's ugly business boy" Vikk adds.
  736. Animus "what incident?"
  737. TheResilientGM "Really? How?!" he excitedly asks Schneider.
  738. Gru_Persay "Tell him about the trial and execution."
  739. Schneider "I shot a mortar and PAEKOWWWW!"
  740. TheResilientGM "Boom!" he echoes in excitement.
  741. Gru_Persay finishes the vent modification.
  742. TheResilientGM "Wow... can't wait to get in the front..." he reflects, betraying his lack of experience.
  743. Gru_Persay "What's this polymer being on my station?"
  744. Victrus_Macharius looks over to Gru, "seems like you got it fnished"
  745. Kass_Yonova looks at the Psyker. "Let's just say an officer got real uppity and decided to call in Air-support danger close. We lost men to that. The officer was executed for it."
  746. Animus looks to the kid " war is no party"
  747. Animus "Emperors justice"
  748. Gru_Persay "Yea". He heads Victrus and fan.
  749. Schneider "The hell it is! Hector and I have been having a blast since we've been here."
  750. Victrus_Macharius "Gru I need you to make a custom handle for my bolter, if you can out of that block of polymer"
  751. Gru_Persay "I'll see what I can do."
  752. Victrus_Macharius hands Gru the bolter and takes the fan and places it so that it will air out the tent
  753. Animus "need help again friend?"
  754. TheResilientGM "Well, I... if I can say, I mean..." he looks for the right words. "I'm glad to be assigned to people with that experience."
  755. Gru_Persay "Sure."
  756. Victrus_Macharius plugs in the fan and turns it on
  757. TheResilientGM It spins slowly, at first.
  758. Animus resumes levitating the tools
  759. Gru_Persay , MEAT, and Animus begin working on the Bolter modification.
  760. TheResilientGM Then it suddenly springs to life, the "industrial power" becoming suddenly clear, as it spins pushing enough air to knock it on its back.
  761. Animus "maybe we should make a shield for it."
  762. Gru_Persay "Set it on low, Genius."
  763. Victrus_Macharius "oh, thats what that knob is for then"
  764. Gru_Persay "There's a shield on it. Don't worry."
  765. Schneider comes back with a bundle of firewood,
  766. Gru_Persay finishes the weapon modification.
  767. Victrus_Macharius lifts up the fan and turns the knob down to the low setting

  769. Gru_Persay "Here's your Bolter."
  770. TheResilientGM "There we are. Clean as you'd like" Hector comments, observing his work. The mammal skinned in its totality.
  771. Victrus_Macharius "there we go, also thanks Gru and Animus"
  772. Animus "No problem friend."
  773. Gru_Persay "Keep the blessing safe."
  774. Schneider starts a fire outside the tent. "Well bring it over and let's get this thing cooked."
  775. Kass_Yonova "Try not to use that to piss off the Commissar." Kass comments as he continues to read.

  780. TheResilientGM The servitor collapses.
  781. Schneider "Dead what ever this thing is! It's small so there's not enough for everyone."
  782. Animus stays inside, and lays on the floor
  783. TheResilientGM The artillery fire intensifies for a moment.
  784. Victrus_Macharius "I'm going to go to the mess hall to get food, anyone what to join me?"
  785. TheResilientGM Animus spots a low-flying mammal, it circles the tent again and again.
  786. Gru_Persay grabs a chair and moves it toward the entrance of the tent. Gru takes a sit near the opening.
  787. TheResilientGM Vikk gets up from his bunk, and taps Arthur on the back, "We'll join in."
  788. Victrus_Macharius is joined by Vikk and Arthur to head over to the mess hall
  789. Kass_Yonova "Vikk! Grab me something on your way back!" Kass yells out as Vikk leaves.
  790. TheResilientGM "On it!"
  791. Animus "would you like to go to the mess?" he asks Koeln
  792. TheResilientGM "And leave you here?" he looks at Kass to 'check' if it's alright.
  793. Kass_Yonova waves him off, still reading. Fuck when was the last time he got to enjoy a book.
  794. Animus "I more meant you escort me like the hired executioner you are." he then smiles
  795. TheResilientGM "Oh... you're hungry. What do mutants eat?"
  796. Animus "Food."
  797. Animus "Surprisingly."
  798. TheResilientGM "We'll just see what they have in the me-- WHAT IS THAT?!" he ducks and points up at the circling flying mammal
  799. Animus "Charles."
  800. TheResilientGM He looks at the Psyker with an expression of deep concern.
  801. TheResilientGM "What?"
  802. Gru_Persay pokes his head through the tent to see what the noise is about.
  803. Animus "I'm having him take a look around for me."
  804. Gru_Persay "What's going on?"
  805. Animus "I'm being interrogated."
  806. TheResilientGM Koeln gets up, rather upset, "HE has THAT for a PET!"
  807. Animus "Don't like it?"
  808. Gru_Persay points to Meat and says "I have that as a pet."
  809. TheResilientGM "Just... follow me" he makes his way to the Mess Hall
  810. Animus stands and starts towards the mess hall.
  811. TheResilientGM At the Mess Hall, a few of the nightly patrols are arriving.
  812. Gru_Persay closes his eyes and softy starts chanting.
  813. Animus gathers some food for himself, but leaves out meat
  814. Victrus_Macharius arrives at the mess hall, grabs what food there is, and finds a table to sit and eat
  815. TheResilientGM The men discuss their patrols, as they sit and relax for a while.
  816. Animus proceeds to feed Charles
  817. TheResilientGM No drinks are served save water, so they improvise with a particularly resourceful squad member and his 'reserves'.
  818. TheResilientGM The attending Mess cook, stares at the psyker and his new pet.
  819. Animus "problem?"
  820. TheResilientGM He appears hypnotized until a Guardsman asks for a third time to be served.
  821. TheResilientGM "An extra serving, I said..."
  822. TheResilientGM Vikk is annoyed to have to repeat this again.
  823. Victrus_Macharius looks over toward the cook who was looking at Animus and back to his food
  824. Victrus_Macharius "/Hey Arthur, what do you think of our two new 'friends'?"
  825. TheResilientGM "No, not a trooper. Corporal, in fact. Senior Medicae Officer, moreover" Vikk persuades the uncooperative cook.
  826. TheResilientGM "Friends, Victrus? I don't think I'll be sleeping much, on my part."
  827. TheResilientGM Vikk succeeds and secures double rations.
  828. Victrus_Macharius "Yea, I am not sure either, we will have to see where this all goes over the next few days then."
  829. Animus walks to the nearest exit and releases the mammal
  830. TheResilientGM Vikk eats up his rations quickly, as he's become used to, and takes those set aside for his Comrade back to the tent.
  831. Animus returns to the tent and sleeps in his cot
  832. Gru_Persay "A man may die yet still endure if his work enters the greater work... Time is carried upon a current incepted by forgotten deeds..."
  833. Victrus_Macharius and Arthur finish there food and head off back to the tent
  834. TheResilientGM Vikk returns to the tent.
  835. TheResilientGM "Hey, Kass, got some chow for ya."
  836. Victrus_Macharius and Arthur return to the tent and lay down in their beds
  837. Gru_Persay "...and events of great moment are but the culmination of a single carefully placed thought..."
  838. Kass_Yonova "Ah Vikk, if you were a girl I'd kiss ya. Thanks." He starts to chow down.
  839. Gru_Persay "... As all men must thank progenitors obscured by the past, so we must endure the present so that those who follow may continue the endeavor."
  840. Animus starts chanting in hopes of terrifying his overseer\
  841. TheResilientGM "Want to keep it down, Cog-boy?" Hector complains from outside.
  842. TheResilientGM "Corporal, does this count as evidence of daemonic possession?"
  843. Gru_Persay "Hmm? These are the words of our God Machine."
  844. Kass_Yonova "Above my pay-grade, trooper."
  845. TheResilientGM "Keep it down, mutant" trooper Koeln demands
  846. Animus "Hmmm? A prayer to the God Emperor is daemonic?"
  847. TheResilientGM Hector shows Otto the skin he kept, "It could even make a nice pouch, just look."
  848. TheResilientGM He folds it up in the intended shape.
  849. Gru_Persay sits on the bed and starts a prayer.
  850. Schneider nods "Pretty nice, I bet we could trade it to the other Jeagers for some good shit."
  851. TheResilientGM "Good idea. I'm getting some shut-eye, though. I'll make our friend here into a pouch tomorrow."
  852. Kass_Yonova "Animus, if you're praying, warn Trooper Koeln."
  853. Animus "Understood."
  854. Gru_Persay makes the symbol of the Omnissiah.
  855. TheResilientGM Hector walks inside and lays on his tent.
  856. Schneider heads to bed.
