Evervigilant 51

<Vigilant_GM> IT IS THE 41ST MILLENNIUM...
<Vigilant_GM> After the administratum debacle, the cell finds itself back in Kurst's safehouse. The interrogator is nowhere to be found, though judging by the vehicles missing from the lower-level garage, his usual subtlety is not being considered for the matter to which he attends.
<Vigilant_GM> At length, motion sensors alert the safehouse occupants of a group of individuals approaching the public entrance.
<Vigilant_GM> Five in total, they appear to be in a hurry as they close to the door.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Only the front is being approached according to the sensors+
<Baird> +Tony. Nitrous. Go out the back and circle around them. Quick and quiet just in case this goes sideways.+
<Vigilant_GM> Both from the pict feed, and audibly to those near the entrance, it is clear the lock mechanisms are being worked from outside.
* Tony nods to Baird then to Nitrous, As he makes is move with Nitrous
* Karpath has his bolt pistol at the ready in a defensive position.
* Baird pulls the shock grenade from his coat and preps it.
* Thesse grabs her thunder hammer.
* Nitrous activates his stummer and drwas his rifle behind Tony
<Vigilant_GM> The security panels show a neutralization of the security protocols on the front entrance, and the door is pushed open.
<Baird> +Mordecai,try and contact Interrogator Kurst. Alert him to potential intruders at the safehouse.+
<Vigilant_GM> +As you wish, Interrogator.+
* Reclaimator_Almarax heads back towards the front door, thunderhammer drawn, keeping himself just outside of the room stacked up on the doorway.
<Vigilant_GM> "Wait!" you hear a whisper from around the door-frame. None of the figure are immediately visible.
* Baird pulls his Sacristan from it's holster and raises it towards the door. "Disarm and identify yourselves! This is your first and only warning!"
<Vigilant_GM> A sudden breeze fills the room, swinging the door to hard against the adjacent wall.
<Vigilant_GM> "By order of His Holy Ordos, you will surrender now, or be annihilated!"
<Baird> "By order of His Holy Ordos, YOU will stand down so we can sort this out. We don't need Inquisition killing Inquisition!"
* Reclaimator_Almarax heads back to the security console to gauge their reaction.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +No obvious reaction, still stacked up+
<Baird> +Fuck. Mordecai any response from Kurst?+
<Vigilant_GM> +The Interrogator's mind is... muted.+
<Baird> +In a similar way we are when near the pariah? Or different?+
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Hacked their feed... hold... comms frantic, they have orders to sort the stand-off by any means neccessary as 'Kurst doesn't have enough time'.+
* Tony begin slowly moving into a position to get a better view on the visitors alongside Nitrious
<Baird> "If you work for Interrogator Kurst we are on the same side, I am a fellow Interrogator! Kurst and I serve the same master! Stand down so we can sort this out!"
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Cops you're compromised, new voice telling them that we are hostile.+
<Reclaimator_Almarax> ^chane arbites to cops in post
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Tony is hit.+
* Tony is blown back all a sudden as he is sent flying to the ground
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Presuming sniper+
<Karpath> +Get him back inside!+
<Vigilant_GM> Seconds later, the snap of a distant shot reaches you.
<Nitrous> +Understood.+
* Karpath moves back to find cover closer to the area where Nitrous and Tony went out from.
<Baird> +Attempt non-lethal, kill only if necessary. We don't need to kill our own.+
<Nitrous> +Okay.+
* Tony coughs out blood
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +I got full security access I can lockdown most areas, also have access to a turret out front and a lockdown for the vehicles.+
<Baird> +Activate lockdowns and any non lethal options.+
<Tony> "Nitrious go I will find my own way back, if they got a sniper would be risky to drag me back with you..."
<Vigilant_GM> Interrogator. Strong psychic presence detected.
<Baird> Do what you can to combat him Mordecai.
* Nitrous nods to Tony
<Vigilant_GM> A blast of smoke fills the antechamber. Shortly thereafter, another device falls, and rolls across the floor.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +The sniper has been repremanded for using lethal rounds they aren't trying to kill us.+
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +They don't want to anger Kurst if it turns out we aren't lying.+
<Vigilant_GM> Arcs of lightning extend in a quick pulse, then, with a muted blast.
* Nitrous runs back into the house.
<Nitrous> +Empreror be with you Tony.+
* Tony plays dead
<Vigilant_GM> One of the charges towards Tony. Driving his knee into his back to pin him, the operative applies manacles to the Pariah.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +They have Tony restrained.+
<Vigilant_GM> Interrogator, I am certain your colleague is unconscious.
<Baird> The Interrogator?
<Vigilant_GM> Yes.
<Thesse> "We are servants of the same Master! Lower your weapons. One of us will walk out the door showing proof of our words."
<Vigilant_GM> After a moment of consideration a reply comes. "You will come out unarmed! I will know if you are hiding something!"
<Baird> The "Confessor" from the landing pad. One of Kurst's men. Search for his mind and get him to stand them down. He can vouch for our identities.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Clarification of Kursts status - he is bleeding out, they will hear us out however.+
* Baird unbuckles the numerous holsters and straps holding his weapons to him, passing them and the grenade to Nitrous for safekeeping. Fully disarmed Baird reaches in his coat and draws out his rosette, gripping it firmly in one hand and holding both in the air. Taking a deep breath and preparing to be shot Baird steps out of the safehouse, hands high and clearly showing the rosette.
<Vigilant_GM> Baird is swiftly apprehended, manacles applied. Another operative takes the Interrogator's identifier, and looks it over.
<Vigilant_GM> He nods to the man to his right, and brings his hand up to his ear. "Bring him in. Now."
<Vigilant_GM> Baird and Tony are both released.
* Reclaimator_Almarax heads to the medical area of the safehouse and begins preperaing for triage.
<Vigilant_GM> "We're Valerius-Sigma. Had no idea there was another Interrogator in the hive. Kurst is injured; shuttle was shot down."
* Karpath blanks for a moment, and then shakes the feeling away and looks around seeing Nitrous, "Where is Tony?"
<Nitrous> "Currently in the hands of the other guys."
* Thesse let's out a sigh of relief.
<Baird> Baird's eyes rise. "Our old cell's name. Bring Kurst in quickly and I'll want a briefing on what's going on."
<Karpath> "I though you where bringing him in and what's going on?"
* Tony turns around knowing his trick was seeing though as he sits himself up.
<Vigilant_GM> He nods, turning behind him as a pair of men, one with a rifle strapped to his back, carry Kurst's unconscious body.
* Tony as he stands up holding his wound as he slowly makes is way in after the others.
<Vigilant_GM> The apparent leader of these acolytes moves ahead of the Interrogator and opens the medicae lab's doors where Kurst is laid down.
* Karpath tunrs toward the front to see a group of people bringing in a body of Kurst and moves quickly after them into the Medicae lab
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Greetings lay him down I've preppeed the equipment."
* Reclaimator_Almarax smirks.
* Karpath pulls out his equipment as well and begins to exam Kurst with the assistance of Almarax.
* Karpath seeing what is wrong with two broken ribs and a possible damaged lungs he gets to work on treating Kurst. He also noticing the crude treatment done along Kurts side. "Who was the one to patch up the Interrogator?"
* Reclaimator_Almarax mutters... "The way meatsbags react to truama always... amuses me."
* Karpath rolls his eyes at Almarax comment, "Never change Alrax."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "That is a new one."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Added to libary of possible forms of address."
<Karpath> "You know I called you that not to long ago back on the last planet right?"
* Reclaimator_Almarax 's full attention is once again on Kurst, the aperture on his optical mechandrite expanding and closing as he investiages each injury.
* Karpath continues to work on Kurst injury to patch him up fully.
<Baird> +How's Kurst?+
* Reclaimator_Almarax lips move muttering inaubibly.  1
<Reclaimator_Almarax> +Two broken ribs, one potentially inpaling his lung. He also has a large cut, lots of blood loss.+
<Tony> "Was not expecting to get shot today... shot the guy, unarmed why don't you."
<Baird> +Have these wounds be dealt with. Is he stable?+
<Karpath> +Yes he is stable now.+
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "If everything is okay I have a machine spirit to soothe."
<Vigilant_GM> "Mope elsewhere, we have a crisis to deal with," the sharpshooter snaps back at Tony.
<Karpath> "Yea, you should be good to go."
* Reclaimator_Almarax heads back to the security console to unfuck it, adding his own credentials with a note saying 'temporary precaution while you (Kurst) are out of action'.
<Vigilant_GM> "Name's Orsen, by the way," the lead acolyte says to Baird as he walks back out.
<Baird> +Acknowledged.+ Baird turns to Orsen. "Well Orsen bring your team into the briefing room and you all can fill me in on the situation."
<Vigilant_GM> He nods. +To the briefing room. Fall in.+
<Vigilant_GM> Valerius-Sigma gathers in the briefing room in short order, Orsen taking a seat.
* Baird retrieves his armaments from Nitrous and meets the Acolytes in the briefing room.
<Vigilant_GM> "Right," he sighs heavily.
* Thesse joins Baird in the briefing room.
<Vigilant_GM> "The Synod is a fucking cesspit. How the Ecclesiarchy manages to maintain appearances is an Emperor-given miracle."
* Nitrous joins Baird
<Baird> Baird take the seat across from Orsen. "So walk me through the operation starting from two days ago. That's the last time we spoke with Kurst."
* Tony joins in on the side to listen to what happened
<Vigilant_GM> "We attached to Kurst around that time. Were keeping tabs on the Arbites Precinct when he arrived."
* Baird leans back idly scratching his goatee with a thoughtful look on his face.
<Vigilant_GM> "Two months back we had secured intel on an arriving Cardinal for him, so we knew he was investigating the Ecclesiarchy in some way. Sure enough, after he gave us our orders, we got tangled up in that mess when the Throne Agents were found out. Had us tag along with him at that point."
<Vigilant_GM> The sniper, leaning on a counter near the corner of the room shakes his head at this.
* Baird turns to look sharply at the sniper. "You have an alternate perception of events or something to add?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Nothing but regret. I imagine the Inquisitor will hang us all for this."
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen shoots a glare back at his sharpshooter.
<Vigilant_GM> "The Cardinal is some firebrand Inquisitor-imposer. Was here after a trip to Thaur. Brought with him a whole cadre of bodyguards, investigators... the whole lot."
<Baird> "Sounds remarkably similar to the cover Kurst assigned for us but that was before we arrived. Continue."
<Baird> "I'd certainly like to hear why your man seems to think a hanging will be involved."
<Vigilant_GM> "Point is, he'd found out Kurst's cell. Kurst went in, we along with him. He was passing as some sort of priest to speak to his contacts. Don't know what he found out, but when he got back into the vehicle, he threw his usual subtlety out, and we came back here to rearm; heavily."
<Vigilant_GM> "We won't hang. This was a setup even Kurst didn't foresee."
<Vigilant_GM> "The Interrogator set out on an Ecclesiarchy shuttle. We travelled back by ground..." he pauses here.
<Vigilant_GM> "The Arbites have always been cooperative..." he says looking down.
<Vigilant_GM> "Arbites interceptors shot him down. No warning," The sharpshooter says, looking up.
* Baird sits silently for a moment and turns to Nitrous. "Is there any valid reason why they would do this. Or should be just assume corruption?"
<Tony> "From Thaur? Do you have any pic recordings of this supposed Inquisitor?"
<Nitrous> "Not sure."
<Vigilant_GM> "We were in deep," Orsen says. "Not the slightest suggestion they would move against us. Came out of nowhere, and just... shot him down."
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen shakes his head.
<Baird> "Well either someone convinced or coerced them that someone dangerous was aboard, the interceptors are stolen, or they were turned."
<Tony> "Hmm, it's not Arbite protocol for such a very direct action, unless they were sure, and it would be approved by the higher ranking officials."
<Vigilant_GM> "Perhaps the Inquisitor should be made aware, if this is the case?" the tall lanky psyker speaks up.
<Vigilant_GM> "Sure. And then he'll hang us," the sharpshooter snaps.
<Baird> "Enough about this hangings. So they were ordered then. Continue Orsen, you were on the ground and saw this happen presumably. You retrieved the Interrogator and...?"
<Vigilant_GM> "By the time we arrived at the wreckage, it was already surrounded. Thanks to the Interrogator, we were prepared for a prolonged assault, and because we were fired upon on arrival, we had no choice."
<Vigilant_GM> "Arbites, and... others," Orsen reflects.
<Vigilant_GM> "Couldn't tell you who. Does the Ecclesiarchy have armed forces?"
<Baird> "Did they have uniforms or markings?"
<Vigilant_GM> "White tunics, tabbards, outlined in orange."
<Baird> "Sister Thesse?"
<Thesse> "The uniforms don't sound familiar to me."
<Vigilant_GM> "When we extracted we were hunted. Hard. Had to ditch the vehicles and lose them on foot before making it here."
<Baird> "And you're sure you weren't followed?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Sure," the sharpshooter replies sternly.
<Vigilant_GM> "But we're known. Well known."
<Baird> "Alright for now hunker down, you're confined to the safe house for the time being. Have a report prepared and I'll apprise our Master. In the meantime I do have my own mission to accomplish. Once I know more you will receive further orders."
* Baird pushes the chair away from the table and stands.
<Vigilant_GM> "We will remain here with the Interrogator," Orsen nods.
* Baird nods and heads out of the briefing room.
* Tony grabs is wound as he wanders to the Med Bay
<Tony> "Hey when you are free, can I have help getting this Bullet out?"
* Karpath looks over, "Took you long enough."
<Tony> "Figured to figure out what is doing on first."
* Baird heads into the medicae suite as Karpath sets to patching up Tony. "Karpath. Can Kurst be roused without damaging his condition?"
<Karpath> "What is going on anyways?" He ask as he patches Tony.
* Karpath goes back to check on Kurst and check him over with the Diagnostor. "Theoretically, it is possible. I would have to give him a small dose of stim but he should be strapped down just in case. Also a familiar face would be good when he does wake, I think at least on that part."
* Baird nods an affirmative. "Do it."
* Karpath gets to work and starts to strap down Kurst.
* Baird turns to Tony. "Once you're ready take Tess, use your disguises and go to the courier company to see if there's a response yet. Use the back entrance."
<Tony> "Got it Baird, though the fact the Arbites might cause a problem to the plan, is troubling."
<Baird> "We'll figure it out Tony. For now see to the courier service."
<Tony> +Sister, better get dressed, we have a job to do. We got to check the mail.+
* Karpath finishes straping down Kurst as he goes to one of the cabinets and grabs a dose of stim, he then proceeds set up a medical drip for the stim to be slowly put into Kurst system to wake him up.
* Tony gets up as he nods to Baird and walks out
<Tony> "We will be back in a bit."
* Karpath looks to Baird, "Ready where ever you are."
* Baird stands near the medical slab and nods again to Karpath. "Do it."
<Thesse> +This soon? I'll get that red dress then.+
* Karpath hooks up the drip to Kurst and then turns it on a begins to monitor all the status.
* Thesse switches to her red robes and takes a few of her belongings.
<Vigilant_GM> Kurst's breathing picks up, as does his heart rate.
* Tony gets dressed and gets in the Autocarriage, as he waits for the Sister
<Vigilant_GM> As soon as his eyes open, his entire body tenses up, the straps tense tightly against his wrists.
* Thesse joins Tony in the garage. "Are we ready for our little performance?"
* Karpath turns off the drip and he monitors his status.
<Baird> "Kurst calm down, you're in the safehouse, it's Baird. Deep breaths. Deep breaths."
<Tony> "Provided we, don't openly speak about daemons in public, yeah we should be good."
<Thesse> "Yes, yes... I will not let it slip out this time."
<Vigilant_GM> He lays back one more, breathing and heart rate still elevated, but his eyes begin to scan the room.
<Vigilant_GM> Slowly, he is able to calm himself, though he looks down at the straps more than once.
* Thesse enters the back of the auto carriage.
<Vigilant_GM> "Release me."
* Tony starts up the Autocarriage and heads off to the Courier Service.
<Karpath> "Just a precaution Interrogator. I would recommend being careful and taking it slow, you had two broken ribs and your left lung was damaged as well." he then goes and unstraps Kurst from the table.
<Vigilant_GM> His eyes wince as the pain begins to register.
<Baird> "Unstrap him Karpath. Just be easy. You have broken ribs and you've lost alot of blood."
<Vigilant_GM> "What happened?"
<Baird> "Acolyte Orsen tells quite the tale. Arbites Interceptors shot down your shuttle apparently."
<Vigilant_GM> "Orsen?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Send word to him. He is to create your distraction."
<Vigilant_GM> "The... wait. Say that again... my shuttle?"
<Baird> "The name he gave. He claimed him and his group joined you for your mission. They rescued you from your downed shuttle. They say their cover is blown."
<Baird> "The ecclesiarchal shuttle you were using."
<Vigilant_GM> "Orsen is an embedded asset. His cell will be able to help with the Arbites."
<Vigilant_GM> "What... shuttle?"
<Vigilant_GM> His heart-rate begins to rise once more.
<Baird> "Rest Kurst. Tranq him Karpath."
<Vigilant_GM> "Baird. Baird, talk to Nils. The plan could end her career, I will let you brief her directly."
<Baird> "I will talk to her Kurst. Don't worry."
* Karpath he begins to see this and goes to get some Tranq, he then goes to inject a small dose into Kurst.
<Vigilant_GM> "I was on my way to Valerius-Sigma. Did I make it?"
<Baird> "Yes, and further Kurst."
<Vigilant_GM> He nods, his eyes trailing to the ceiling as he lays his head back again.
* Karpath check over the status on the monitors, seeing that Kurst heart rate is now returning to normal. "Well this is not good." he says to Baird.
<Vigilant_GM> "Do you know why Mortem is a shadow?"
<Baird> "Why is that Kurst?"
<Vigilant_GM> "The Ordos did this."
<Baird> "Another Inquisitor in the sector?"
<Vigilant_GM> "All of them; he just... stayed."
<Vigilant_GM> "But Juno remembers," he turns to face Baird.
<Baird> "They did this to you? Or are you saying they did something to Mortem? What does Juno remember?"
<Vigilant_GM> "The Ordos carries a heavy burden, Baird. Guilt keeps Mortem here. Keeps him in the shadows."
<Baird> "Why guilt?"
<Vigilant_GM> Kurst shuts his eyes. "Vaxi," his voice becomes a whisper. "The Vaxi Atrocity."
<Vigilant_GM> His breathing becomes steady, deep, soft.
<Baird> Baird stares thoughtfully for a moment before striding out of the medicae suite to find Orsen for the written report.
* Karpath watches Baird exit, then goes back to monitoring Kurst.
<Vigilant_GM> A cream-colored parchment, with the crimson wax seal of a stylized G awaits Thesse and Tony in the courierhouse.
* Thesse takes the parchment from the teller and says "Thank you." before rushing back to Tony.
* Tony once Sister Thesse gets in he makes his way back to the Safehouse
<Tony> "What was the rush for?"
<Thesse> "I'm a bit excited."
<Thesse> "Didn't think we would get a response so soon."
<Tony> "Well not surprising given that Hammer of Al's"
<Tony> "Just remember when we do this, try to contain yourself this hinges on use being like those professionals, from the holovids."
<Thesse> "What's a holovid?"
<Vigilant_GM> In due time, the pair return to the safehouse.
* Reclaimator_Almarax seeing them arrive asks, +So, did I get any mail?+
* Thesse waves the parchment in front of Almarax.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Hmmm" takes the letter and carefully inspects it, before heading to find Baird. "Watch the cameras if you like, its already set up."
<Thesse> "Should we open it in the briefing room with the others?"
* Reclaimator_Almarax shrugs awkwardly as he leaves the room.
<Vigilant_GM> Within, Orsen reads over the report before handing it to Baird, now Desoleum's senior Interrogator.
<Tony> "Hey Al, might want to give this a look if we are going to replicate such a parchment in the future."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "We will want our subsequent correspondence to be consistent with the first, ideally we will be gone before we need to send other such letters."
* Thesse sits at the security console and thinks "Ohh, pretty buttons."
* Baird takes the report and studies Orsen. "Did the Interrogator happen to apprise you of any other missions?"
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen shakes his head.
<Vigilant_GM> "We aren't told much."
* Reclaimator_Almarax steps into the briefing room and takes an idle stance near the wall waiting for the current conversation to end, keeping the letter under his robe.
* Tony shugs and just follows Al into the briefing room
* Baird nods in understanding and pulls a pack of lho sticks from his jacket, offering one to Orsen before lighting one himself.
<Vigilant_GM> "Thank you," he says, taking one.
<Baird> Taking a seat once more across from Orsen Baird leans back in the chair and takes a long pull on the narcotic.
<Baird> "I didn't know you were the asset intended but Kurst was going to have you create a distraction on a specific day an time. This was supposed to pull the Arbites attention."
<Vigilant_GM> "Likely the instructions he arrived to give us," he takes a draft.
<Baird> "It is a necessary part of my plan as we need their attention elsewhere. Thoughts?"
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen looks intently at Baird for a moment, letting the smoke slowly exit his mouth and nose.
<Vigilant_GM> "Well. They hate us."
<Vigilant_GM> "Sure enough they'll come hunting us down if we pop up some place."
* Baird grins slightly and nods ruefully. "That much is true." He takes another pull on the lho stick.
<Vigilant_GM> He shakes his head, saying, "Won't be subtle."
<Baird> "You've been an imbedded asset for sometime now. You know how to pull their attention elsewhere. Pick a spot to post up and defend it. Leave yourself a way out they wouldn't know about."
<Vigilant_GM> He nods, putting out the lho-stick. "We know what we're doing."
<Baird> "I just need you to occupy their attention.
<Vigilant_GM> "Just no telling how useful we'll be after all this is over. Hangings or no, we'll likely be discarded."
<Baird> "IF necessary you can be reassigned and join me. We'll be moving off planet after my mission here is complete."
<Vigilant_GM> He lets out a chuckle.
<Baird> "You can still be useful. Or you can remain with Kurst and take your chances."
<Baird> "Either way I'll let you know the specifics on date and time."
<Vigilant_GM> "I'll occupy myself with staying alive for now."
* Baird takes another drag on the lho stick and chuckles in response. "Good plan."
<Baird> "For now I need the room Orsen." +Mordecai come to the briefing room.+
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Advice for staying alive longer - encrypt your comms, listening in helped us all out this time but it doesn't work so well when its the bad guys doing it."
<Vigilant_GM> He nods. "All yours."
<Vigilant_GM> "Technomat got killed getting Kurst his info. But thanks for the advice," he replies on his way out.
<Vigilant_GM> Guess who
<Vigilant_GM> "Guess who"
<Vigilant_GM> Mordecai walks into the room, and takes a seat.
<Tony> "Real friendly bunch..."
* Nitrous nods
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Just to add to the pile of considerations your currently making" takes out the letter. "We have another time pressure upon us."
* Reclaimator_Almarax unseals the letter being careful to keep the seal intact.
* Baird addresses the Reclaimator. "It will wait for a minute or two. For now." Baird turns to the astropath and slides the report from Orsen across the table towards him.
<Vigilant_GM> "Kind of you to supply reading material."
<Vigilant_GM> Is this for... him?
<Baird> "Send an Encrypted astropathic communique to our master. Apprise him of Interrogator Kurst's condition and the mission particulars which are in front of you."
* Reclaimator_Almarax removes the letter from the envelope and begins to scan the paper.
<Baird> "I know the will take time Mordecai, let me know once you're finished."
* Baird turns to the Reclaimator. "Alright so what's it say?"
<Vigilant_GM> The letter is terse, and dry. Perhaps so to make a point. "The Sun Dome. In Three days' time, you will stand at the Saint's feet." The letter has no personal signature. Instead, a stamp not unlike the seal finishes the brief note.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "How efficient, not a wasted word."
* Reclaimator_Almarax passes over the letter rather than repeating its contents.
* Baird quickly scans the contents and flicks it towards Tony.
<Baird> He then let's out a sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose.
<Baird> "It's on you two now."
<Baird> "Don't fuck this up."
<Tony> "Oh believe me, alot is on the line."
<Tony> "Might be a idea to have the Sister mingle with the Nobles for those 3 days, might be a idea."
<Baird> "It is. Go apprise the Sister and prepare. Reclaimator, access the cogitator and see what you find out about the ongoing case that has dropped in our lap."
<Baird> "Just follow what's on the letter."
<Tony> "Got it."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "I'll pass this onto Velum as well so he can potentially work on replicating these seals and stamps in future." he states, taking the letter and leaving.
<Tony> "Is there anything else I should know before I go and bring her up to speed?"
<Baird> "Not a bad idea either. Regardless he'll want to read and absorb the info."
* Baird shakes his head. "Just prepare."
* Tony nods to him and walks out to find Sister Thesse
* Reclaimator_Almarax heads to Kursts quarters and sets about trying to access his personal console.
<Baird> After the room is cleared Baird turns to Nitrous. "I have a job for you."
<Nitrous> "Yes?"
<Baird> "Use the safehouse disguises, a disguise kit and then arm yourself discreetly. Use stealth and shadow the other two when they leave for their mission in three days."
<Nitrous> "Understood."
<Nitrous> "Bring only the pistol?"
<Baird> "Only interact if absolutely necessary. Maintain distance and just observe unless something happens." Baird nods. "Concealed if possible."
<Nitrous> "I'll need a concealed holster."
<Nitrous> "And a laser sight in case."
<Tony> "Well Sister, you wanted to know what a Holovid was right?"
* Thesse she looks away from the monitors "Hmm, huh? Oh, yes."
<Baird> "There should be some in the safehouse. Use them as well."
* Reclaimator_Almarax mumbles to himself as he meanders back to the briefing room. "His security is tight, howver you might be able to interface with a rossette."
* Baird stands and takes a final pull on the lho stick before grinding it out in a tray. Dissipating the lingering smoke with his hand he heads out to check on Almarax and his search into the case files.
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Seems he secures his files more than he secures his stubber turrets..."
<Tony> "Well, We can go and see a few, we got 3 days before the first meeting."
<Baird> "Alright well let's visit the medice suite then. Follow me."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "'Knowledge is power' I suppose but power is also power..."
* Reclaimator_Almarax follows along continuing to ramble slightly to himself.
* Karpath has remained in the medicae suit, still keeping tabs on Kurst status.
* Baird strides down the corridors before stopping in the medicae suite and addressing Karpath. "Where did you move the Interrogator's affects?"
<Karpath> "I placed them over on the table right over there." he says as he turns his head in the direction of the table in question.
* Baird nods and sets to rifling through the pockets and such searching for Kurst's Rosette.
* Baird locates the badge and holds it up to show Almarax. "Show me to the cogitator you were using."
<Reclaimator_Almarax> "Of course, this should be easier"
