Rosenkrantz Session 12

	RosenkrantzGM	IT IS THE 41ST MILLENNIUM...
	RosenkrantzGM	It has been a week since the camp was set up at Erwinfall. Earthworks have been added by Dynastic troops under the command of Lord Chomun, and nearby woods have provided raw material for makeshift defenses in addition to that which has been brought down from the flagship. Lord Wilhelm has spent the majority of his time surveying the planet, in small expeditions, often accompanied by his friend Varenus Grandier. Dynastic scribes have been tasked with cataloging the various geological features of the planet, and the fauna and flora discovered and named by the two noblemen-explorers.
	RosenkrantzGM	In an attempt to ease the stress of ship-to-surface communications, the Mechanicus priests have set up a receiver and transmission tower on the peak of a hill overlooking Erwinfall Lake.
	RosenkrantzGM	The most recent of the successful transmissions have come from the priestess Katherine, who has analyzed the information she gathered in her short scouting trip to the abandoned voidstation. She reports that the emphasis of extra power transistors and backup generators on comms, reception panels, and auger arrays indicate that it is likely an STC Monitor Station.
	RosenkrantzGM	Impatient, and unsatisfied with the trouble the solar and magnetic field anomalies have nonetheless given both comms and the ship's augery systems, Wilhelm has determined that finding a way to put the station to use is imperative.
	RosenkrantzGM	The large black Raven calls and flies out and away from Wilhelm's pavilion, away from the commotion. It appears one last cut transmission has condemned the Lord-Captain's portable vox. You can hear the comms equipment being abused.
	RosenkrantzGM	The sight of it flying out of the pavilion's entrance and onto a boulder outside confirms its destruction to you.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Master Ziel!" Wilhelm's voice calls loud, across the camp.
	RosenkrantzGM	He storms out of his quarters, not yet fully dressed.
	Neue-Ziel	hears and approaches the Lord-Captain.
	Neue-Ziel	"Yes, My Lord-Captain?"
	Varenus_Grandier	is sitting in his tent, organizing his notes when he hears the call. He peeks out curiously
	RosenkrantzGM	"There you are, Master Ziel... my vox appears to have had a catastrophic anomaly," he says, looking beside you, where the remains of the brutalized equipment made contact with the unforgiving ground.
	Baine_Mort	exits his tent to see what's going on.
	Neue-Ziel	"I think you killed the machine spirit."
	RosenkrantzGM	Out rushes one of his aides, carrying a tunic for the Lord-Captain to put on.
	Neue-Ziel	starts to cry a little.
	RosenkrantzGM	He takes the garments and puts them on his bare upper body. As he fastens it with the many buttons on it, he looks up to you.
	Neue-Ziel	takes a look at the vox to try and save it.
	RosenkrantzGM	"This situation will simply not do. The tower has only helped with transmissions between vox systems on the planet's surface. Staying in contact with the bridge is..." he looks down to secure the last of the buttons, "is simply infuriating."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Infuriating," he repeats looking up at you once more.
	Neue-Ziel	starts praying to the Machine spirit and the Omnissiah.
	Varenus_Grandier	quickly gets dresses and makes his way outside and to the group
	RosenkrantzGM	He takes a few paces forward, closing the distance between you two. "Find me a solution, Master Ziel. Quick, or by the Emperor, I'll have the Aurorae make planetfall!"
	Makh_Chomun	is jogging around the perimeter, a troop of armsmen and mercs in tow.
	Varenus_Grandier	"Hello my Lord."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Lord Grandier," Wilhelm says, breaking eye contact with the Enginseer for a moment, "hello. Lovely morning, is it not?"
	Neue-Ziel	finishes his prayer.
	Varenus_Grandier	"Indeed it is." He looks sympathetically to Ziel, " Any way I can be of assistance?"
	Neue-Ziel	"No, this spirit has been put to rest."
	Baine_Mort	watches Ziel pray to the vox.
	Caerwyn_Beraht	waltzs into the pavillion, censure swinging and gear jingling. A smug, satisified grin stretches across his face as he sees the situation unfolding before him. "Perhpas you should try lighting some incense, boffin."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Damnable machine..." Wilhelm says, breaking away from the two and walking back into his quarters to finish clothing himself.
	Caerwyn_Beraht	adjusts his impeccable coifure before patting Neue on the back. "Or perhaps you should try and devote thyself to the one true God, the God-Emperor as he is understood by Saint Interlocutus."
	Varenus_Grandier	"Good morning priest, the heathens accepting the Emperors light?"
	Neue-Ziel	"My Lord-Captain, I believe the Leader Magos Enginarium Katherine may have uncovered something on board the abandoned void station."
	RosenkrantzGM	The Raven lands on the boulder just outside the tent, and begins to maliciously peck at the remains of the vox.
	RosenkrantzGM	From inside, the Lord-Captain calls back, "Do what you must to get that thing to work! Do not bother me with the details!"
	Lucrezia	emerges from her pavillion as she buttons the last part of her coat. She curiously looks at the remains of the communications equipment resting against a boulder as she walks into Wilhelm's pavillion. "What happened with that vox back there?"
	Varenus_Grandier	"The Lord Captain happened." he says cheerfully
	Neue-Ziel	"Sadness, fear, and death."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Lady Lucrezia..." Wilhelm sighs, "the communications situation is unsustainable," he walks out fully clothed now.
	Baine_Mort	"Yea, its life was cut short I guess."
	Caerwyn_Beraht	"Not yet, our most honorable mutant, but soon. Matters concerning the faithful are why I am here." Caerwyn folds his arms and slumps, a little dejected by Neue's complete indifference to  his taunting. "Good day, Lady Lucrezia....ah, Lord Captain! I must have words."
	Neue-Ziel	"I'm surrounded by savages."
	RosenkrantzGM	"If you can make yourself of use to the Enginseer, my Lady, you would do us all a service." Turning to the young priest, "Is something the matter, Caerwyn?"
	Makh_Chomun	From the distance you can hear Makh calling out to various men and women to keep up.
	Lucrezia	"Those are a rather bad combination." She then salutes Wilhelm. "I take it the communications tower didn't help much?"
	Makh_Chomun	"CREAM OF THE CROP, PEOPLE, HUSTLE TO! ONE, TWO, ONE, TWO!"
	RosenkrantzGM	"No, indeed not. A delicate situation has developed aboard the Aurorae which requires that I remain in /reliable/ contact with the bridge. And that is not the case... not in the slightest."
	Neue-Ziel	goes through his data-slate, looking at the reports on the void station.
	Lucrezia	"Shall we head up to the Aurorae, then, your Lordship? And, if it wouldn't be much trouble. I'd like to have some words with you at some point."
	Caerwyn_Beraht	's face darkens a little, and a sigh heaves forth from his chest. "Well, Lord Wilhelm, with your blessing I would like to have some leave to minister to the spirits of the peoples upon this-I mean YOUR planet. I think recent events have made things rather..." Caerwyn trails off, letting the implication hang.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Nurture your attachments to the savages however you please, Lord Beraht," Wilhelm's body language somewhat dismissive.
	Neue-Ziel	"Lord-Captain, the void station appears to have a comm network. It is probably calibrated to handle the conditions of this system. If we can activate it, the station can act as a relay between the surface and the holy vessel."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Good enough for me," he nods then turns to Lucrezia, "get in contact with Lord Chomun, let him know I am going to the Aurorae, and to prepare a squad of the Guard. All of you should come along, too." he says now turning to everyone.
	Baine_Mort	"The only problem Ziel is that there may be more of thoughts old servitors still on that station, and who knows if they are really hostile or not."
	Neue-Ziel	glared at Mort and says "Silence."
	Lucrezia	nods sharply and salutes before running off in search for Chomun.
	Varenus_Grandier	"With all due respect my lord, what use would I be on this mission?"
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm approaches Grandier, and leans in close, saying in a low tone, "There are... delicate matters in which you may be of help."
	Varenus_Grandier	nods and leaves to prepare his gear
	Baine_Mort	looks back on Ziel, "Well I suppose you want to get overrun by those things then?"
	Neue-Ziel	"You know nothing, Mort."
	Caerwyn_Beraht	Taken sideways by Wilhelm's disinterest, the absolutely livid Caerwyn makes a curt bow before storming out of the pavilion, shaking his censer vigorously.
	Lucrezia	rushes up next to Chomun, having some trouble keeping up. "Lord Chomun." She tries to adress with some light playfullness, even with the strain. "We are to return to the Aurorae. Ready a guard." She then stops and starts to catch her breath as he rushes ahead, no doubt.
	Baine_Mort	"Yes, that is true but yet you have not encountered them while they are still functional."
	Makh_Chomun	slows down the jogging group of men and women near one of the main entrances to the camp. "You're getting off lucky today!" Makh yells, with a savage grin. "You have the Lord-Captain and Lady Lucrezia for that. I expect you lot to be fitter by the time I come back!" With that Makh heads into the camp proper and organizes a guard.
	Makh_Chomun	+If you wanted to join our exercise, you only had to ask, Sister!+
	Neue-Ziel	"I will ease the machine spirit's pain. From Katherine's reports, 'it' didn't attack the boarding team."
	Baine_Mort	"Yes, that does seem the case but when we arrived it hid itself from us."
	Lucrezia	stands upright after regaining her breath, smiling. "I'll keep that in mind." With that, she gets ready to return to the ship as she uses a piece of cloth to dry some perspiration off.
	Varenus_Grandier	finishes up packing equipment and donning his armour
	RosenkrantzGM	With a few short flaps of its wings, the Raven lands between the Enginseer and Master of Ordnance, looking up at the two as they argue.
	Varenus_Grandier	+Ready when you are.+
	Makh_Chomun	towels himself off before getting a change of clothes and equipping his armor and weapons, with the help of Ensign Vellow. While doing so he organizes what will be the Lord-Captain's guard over the vox, and has them await in orderly rank just outside Wilhelm's pavilion.
	Neue-Ziel	"You know nothing about the Machine Spirit and refrain from making comments Master of Ordnance."
	Neue-Ziel	leaves to gather his equipment.
	RosenkrantzGM	The Raven calls, as if angrily chastising Mort for his ignorance.
	Baine_Mort	looks at the Raven menacingly.
	RosenkrantzGM	The bird looks back at you.
	Baine_Mort	growls at the raven.
	RosenkrantzGM	Extending its wings, it hops forward and pecks at your feet.
	Makh_Chomun	approaches from behind Baine, a look of curiosity across his face. He places a hand on the Master-of-Ordinances shoulder. "Something the matter, Mr. Mort?"
	RosenkrantzGM	The Raven flaps its wings, and leaps up landing on the Master-At-Arm's shoulder.
	RosenkrantzGM	It stares at Mort.
	Baine_Mort	looks at Chomun "Yea, Ziel is not taking into considerations that the servitors could be dangerous that are on the station."
	Varenus_Grandier	exits the tent, as he does so the Binge(Which he hasn't given a personal name) Darts away from the entrance of the tent and directly towards the raven.
	Varenus_Grandier	watches in horror as it attempts to eat the poor thing
	Makh_Chomun	"Don't forget that his kind stop at nothing for new gizmo's. My boys and girls are trained for this sort of thing."
	RosenkrantzGM	The Raven simply looks down at the mammal, gripping Makh's shoulder.
	Baine_Mort	"Yes which is my point that he need to go in there prepared for the worse."
	Varenus_Grandier	quickly rushes over and pulls the Binge off Makh, "My deepest apologizes my Lord! He is a rascal."
	RosenkrantzGM	The Raven calls, low, in agreement.
	Varenus_Grandier	Binge struggles in his hands for a moment then clambers to his shoulder and glares at the raven
	Makh_Chomun	"No skin off my back, though I'd be careful, if the Lord-Captain's raven is hurt because of that, it getting skinned will be the least of your worries, old friend." With that he laughs heartily and goes to find the Captain.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Got yourself a new pet, Lord Chomun?" Wilhelm teases as he exits his pavilion, in full gear.
	Makh_Chomun	"Several it seems." Makh says with a grin.
	Varenus_Grandier	+Lucrezia my dear, are you ready?+
	RosenkrantzGM	"Has the Gun-Cutter been prepared? My commbead... it, too suffered an irreversible malfunction." Wilhelm explains.
	Lucrezia	+For heading back to the Void? Certainly! Even have some of my lads coming along.+
	Neue-Ziel	joins the group after gathering his equipment.
	RosenkrantzGM	(flashback, Lord Wilhelm stomping on comm-bead earlier in the morning)
	Varenus_Grandier	+Glad to hear, i'm glad for the extra help+
	Baine_Mort	walks over to Chomun and Wilhelm.
	Lucrezia	appears a few moments later in full armor, with a squad of her mercs in tow. "So, why are we heading back up, milord?"
	RosenkrantzGM	He motions with his hands for you all to stand closer.
	Baine_Mort	stands closer to Wilhelm.
	Lucrezia	gets a bit closer.
	Varenus_Grandier	moves closer, the binge hissing at Ziel
	Neue-Ziel	"Disgusting Creature."
	RosenkrantzGM	"There... appears to be a spy on board the Aurorae. There was incident with the Astropaths of the Choir Telepathica... but don't let that concern you. Once in orbit, I would much prefer you were to make yourselves useful in aid to Master Ziel."
	RosenkrantzGM	+Gun-Cutter ready+ you hear the pilot announce in your comm-beads
	Makh_Chomun	"As you will m'lord." Makh then motions for everyone to board.
	Baine_Mort	give Wilhelm a nod and follows Chomun to the Gun-Cutter.
	Neue-Ziel	enter the Gun-Cutter and straps himself in.
	Lucrezia	looks at Wilhelm with a serious expression. "I'll need to hear more about this issue, my lord."
	Lucrezia	then joins everyone in getting on the guncutter.
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm steps inside, placing the Raven in a cage, and securing with a couple of straps. He finds himself a seat, then, and secures himself tightly.
	Makh_Chomun	takes a seat nearer to the exit ramp. He then straps himself in.
	Lucrezia	waits for her men to get onboard before strapping in."
	Varenus_Grandier	clambers onto the ship, the binge resting on his shoulder
	Baine_Mort	finds a seat and straps in next to Chomun.
	Varenus_Grandier	straps himself in
	RosenkrantzGM	The Cutter's engines purr with that low-frequency tone of theirs, and its fuselage rattles and vibrates as it finally achieves lift. A common flight-path by now, the pilot is able to smoothly transition out of the planetary atmosphere and into the void. Nearly used to it by now, the trip feels shorter this time along.
	RosenkrantzGM	The tell-tale clang and whirs of the landing mechanisms and the locking arms on the Hangar signal tell you that you are securely inside the Aurorae's protective belly, before even the pilot announces +All clear, you may disembark+
	Makh_Chomun	hits the ramp-open rune and procceeds out.
	Baine_Mort	exits the Gun-Cutter and heads to his room
	Neue-Ziel	heads toward his office to gather his notes.
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm unfastens himself and releases his companion bird, which all-too-happily flies out of the confined space, stretching its wings in a wide-arc flight around the hangar space.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Lady Lucrezia," Wilhelm motions for the Seneschal to approach.
	Varenus_Grandier	unstraps himself and the binge and exits the craft
	Makh_Chomun	Makh sticks around, shadowing the Lord-Captain's movements.
	Lucrezia	nods and approaches, removing her helmet. "Yes?"
	RosenkrantzGM	The slender mammal is hesitant, stopping just before the ramp's edge, freezing in place and sniffing around his new surroundings.
	RosenkrantzGM	"You wished to have a word?" he inquires.
	Lucrezia	"Two of them now. But the most pressing overall is the one regarding what was brought up before our flight. What do you know about this spy situation?"
	Baine_Mort	arrives at his room, upon entering he gathers some stuff for the trip to the station. Looking around the room Baine grabs his hellgun looking it over before deciding to head out to Ziels office.
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm turns to his Master-At-Arms, "Clear the Hangar, Makh. All staff. What I'm about to say is only for the ears of my most trusted advisers."
	Varenus_Grandier	"What's the matter buddy?" he kneels next to the binge and strokes it's fur
	Neue-Ziel	double checking his notes on the servitor.
	RosenkrantzGM	The wild binge sniffs the Navigator's hand, and climbs up to his shoulder in a fraction of a second.
	Baine_Mort	gets on his comm +Ziel, I need to speak to you.+
	Makh_Chomun	+Armsmen clear all personnel, including yourselves. No one leaves or enters without me knowing.+
	RosenkrantzGM	+Aye, sir+ the answer comes. Followed by a series of calls and shouts that echo throughout the hangar as personnel are herded out.
	Varenus_Grandier	feeds the binge a little scrap of meat he brought with him and joins the others
	Neue-Ziel	+I'm in my Office, you may visit. The security protocols will not deem you a threat..+
	Baine_Mort	+Understood+ Baine continues to make his way to Ziel's office.
	RosenkrantzGM	A rather insistent tech-priest is the last of the staff to be escorted, nay, /carried/ out of the Hangar.
	RosenkrantzGM	A Sergeant-At-Arms runs a quick last run-through before standing by the entrance double-hatch and nodding to Chomun before taking his own leave and closing shutting the entryway behind him.
	Makh_Chomun	nods back and then turns back to the Lord Captain. "All clearn, my lord."
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm opens his hand in front of him, palm to the ceiling.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Your comm-beads." he says, looking at all of you.
	Varenus_Grandier	removes his comm-bead and hands it to the Lord Captain
	Makh_Chomun	takes out his comm-bead, switching it off and hands it to Wilhelm.
	Lucrezia	hands it over after turning it off.
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm raises the index finger of his other hand, prompting you to wait, and walks back up the Gun-Cutter's landing ramp, returning just a few seconds later, leaving the devices inside the spacecraft.
	Makh_Chomun	crosses his arms, waiting.
	RosenkrantzGM	"We have had a breach," he says with a sigh.
	RosenkrantzGM	"A serious one," he emphasizes, alternating eye-contact between you.
	Lucrezia	gives one long whistle. "Any idea as to who we have to thank for this?"
	RosenkrantzGM	"We have our suspicions, but nothing concrete," he beings. "The circumstances of the breach are most concerning. We have several dead astropaths, and..." Wilhelm looks up at Varenus, "at least one dead navigator."
	Makh_Chomun	"So how do we proceed? Manhunt?"
	Varenus_Grandier	"Do..do we know who was killed?"
	Varenus_Grandier	"The name i mean..."
	Lucrezia	looks rather concerned. "Now that is worrying... seems like this infiltrator might be trying to leave us stranded."
	Lucrezia	"How long ago did this happen?"
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm: "I'm afraid we may need you to identify the body. We suspect our location was given to someone. The navigator died holding charts belonging to House Grandier... new ones."
	RosenkrantzGM	"I heard about it all this morning," he nods in reply to Lucrezia.
	Lucrezia	"Hmm... all the more reason to get that station working, might serve as an early warning system."
	Varenus_Grandier	"Are we talking as new as the ones created for this system?" he asks, suddenly pale
	RosenkrantzGM	His body and that of the Astropaths were all in the same chamber. Their transmission of our location may have been the last thing they did." he pauses for a moment, "Indeed, my Lady. Annoyances with the planetary comms was not what gave me urgency to get the station repaired. But given the delicate nature of the situation, I cannot afford any of the staff to suspect anything."
	RosenkrantzGM	Wilhelm sighs.
	RosenkrantzGM	"I'm afraid so, Varenus."
	Varenus_Grandier	"Well, this criminal or criminals must be found and punished." he says swiftly." A determined look entering his eyes
	Lucrezia	"I'd like to take a look at the corpses before we leave. The way they died might be a good clue."
	Makh_Chomun	Makh's frown deepens as the Lord-Captain goes on, mad more at himself that such a breach in security occurred.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Clean deaths, all save for the navigator. The work of a professional with little equal. They are still being analyzed by the genetors."
	Lucrezia	"Again, I'd be more at ease by taking a look. For all we know, maybe the navigator is partly responsable."
	Makh_Chomun	"It would fall under her purview my lord, as per her duties."
	Varenus_Grandier	"I know the character of my subordinates very well, I don't believe any would be up to something such as this."
	RosenkrantzGM	"The damage is already done, here. What we need most now is to be able to have eyes on every corner of this system. And for that, the station must be put to use, should the tech-priestess' report be accurate. Be quick and above all mind the need for discretion when examining the bodies," Wilhelm urges you.
	Varenus_Grandier	"Yes my Lord."
	Makh_Chomun	"Can the bodies wait, or shall those be examined before we head out?"
	Lucrezia	"Security should be increased on the medicae deck while the studies are conducted. To avoid any tampering. I'll have a look at the results when we return."
	RosenkrantzGM	"It is best you ready yourselves for Master Ziel's expedition. Do not delay him in any way."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Oh, and one more thing," Wilhelm adds.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Given the sensitive nature of all this, I would be more comfortable if only you were to be on that station with him. No staff, armsmen, or retainers."
	Varenus_Grandier	"I have a feeling we might meet this assassin on the void-station, so be prepared." He says darkly.
	Lucrezia	"Very well. Do please stay safe while we are away, sir."
	Makh_Chomun	"As you wish, m'lord. Been some time since I've not had some of my armsmen on assignment with me."
	RosenkrantzGM	"I will be guarded 'round the clock by Household Guard," he assured Lucrezia.
	Lucrezia	nods.
	Lucrezia	"Still, stay armed."
	RosenkrantzGM	"Of course," he nods.
	Varenus_Grandier	"If we encounter this criminal, should we attempt a capture? Or end them?"
	RosenkrantzGM	"Do not endanger yourselves just to capture him. It would be infinitely more useful to be able to interrogate him, but remain safe above all."
	Lucrezia	"Right, when should we head off?"
	RosenkrantzGM	"Immediately. Every hour that passes is one in which House Grandier's charts may be used by unwelcome guests," he points behind him with his thumb, to the Gun-Cutter and presumably the comm-beads within.
	Makh_Chomun	"Well then, time to gather the crew." Makh then heads into the Gun-Cutter and gathers the comm-beads, and heads back out to hand the comm-beads back to his compatriots.
	Makh_Chomun	+Comms, get me the Enginseer and the Master-of-Ordinance. Have them both report to the landing bay, under the Captain's authority.+
	Lucrezia	takes her comm-bead and puts it on before doning her helmet once more. She then gets to work on checking her weapons.
	RosenkrantzGM	+Immediately+
	Varenus_Grandier	returns the comm-bead to his ear and and dons his helmet. He stands waiting while stroking the binge
	Makh_Chomun	Makh then calls for his personal void-suit, to be delivered by Lt. ven Dreiger personally.
	Lucrezia	looks at Makh. "Brother, you might want to look into getting a suit like this one." She snidely suggests while lightly hitting her chest plate. "Good stuff."
	RosenkrantzGM	A double-knock on the Hangar's entry precedes the arrival of Lieutenant ven Dreiger, who alone enters pushing a gear-cart with the Lord-Protector's effects.
	Makh_Chomun	As Makh gears up, he indicates for the Leftenent to disable his comm-bead, as Makh disables his own. He then speaks in a hushed tone. "I want you, Downfield, and Iyetsev to subtly increase security around the ship, focus on the medicae deck, the upper levels, the bridge, and the Captain's quarters. Work with the House Guard as you see fit." Makh then gives the man a various serious stare....
	Makh_Chomun	..."Things are afoot, old friend."
	RosenkrantzGM	+Lord Chomun, the Enginseer-Prime and Master of Ordnance wish to enter the Hangar.+
	RosenkrantzGM	Apparently not receiving a response, he walks into the hangar himself.
	RosenkrantzGM	The Sergeant-At-Arms clears his throat.
	Makh_Chomun	looks back to the Sergeant-At-Arms. "Ah, yes, Sergeant?" Makh then re-activates his comm-bead.
	RosenkrantzGM	"My Lord, forgive me," he excuses himself.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Both the Master of Ordnance and Enginseer Prime wish to gain entry into the hangar."
	Makh_Chomun	"Thank you Sergeant, allow them in."
	RosenkrantzGM	He snaps a salute, and turns around, exiting.
	Neue-Ziel	enters the Hangar.
	Baine_Mort	enters the hanger and makes his way to the Gun-Cutter.
	Neue-Ziel	approaches the rest of the group.
	Neue-Ziel	"Security has... increased."
	Makh_Chomun	finishes slipping on his assorted void gear and gives ven Dreiger on last look. "Get all that, El-Tee?"
	RosenkrantzGM	"As you command, my /lord/", he gives you a salute.
	Lucrezia	walks away from the hangar. "I'll see about looking into things a bit more closely. See you all when you get back."
	Varenus_Grandier	finishes strapping on his void gear "Ready to go."


Rosenkrantz 2:
	Neue-Ziel	uses his console and allows Mort visitation rights in the Enginarium.
	Baine_Mort	Baine enters the Enginarium.
	Baine_Mort	makes his way over to Ziel.
	RosenkrantzGM	Servitors and red-robed priests are busily at work in apparently every corner of the Enginarium.
	RosenkrantzGM	No one even seems to notice the Master of Ordnance.
	Neue-Ziel	continues writing notes in his data-slate.
	Baine_Mort	+Ziel, I've entered the Enginarium, how do I make my way to you?+
	Neue-Ziel	uses his console to find Mort and issues a command to a nearby servo-skull to be his escort.
	Neue-Ziel	+I sent a servo-skull to act as your guide.+
	RosenkrantzGM	One of the servoskulls carrying what appears to be calibration sensors, suddenly stops and turns, flying low at Baine's height.
	RosenkrantzGM	Once it is satisfied with the identity of the stranger, it makes a sharp left turn and leads the way.
	Baine_Mort	+I believe it has arrived, I will follow it.+ Baine follows the servoskull.
	RosenkrantzGM	It leads you down a corridor with insufferable thick smoke all around you, and into a dark room.
	RosenkrantzGM	At the end of it, you spot the crouched figure of the ship's Enginseer-Prime.
	Neue-Ziel	binary commands the Servo-Skull to return to its duties.
	Baine_Mort	coughs as he follows the servoskull.
	Baine_Mort	approaches Ziel.
	Neue-Ziel	uses binary commands to activate the ventilation system, lights, and recording devices.
	Neue-Ziel	"How may I be of assistance, Master of Ordnance?"
	Baine_Mort	"Yes, word has it that you have a weapon of which would be more useful in my hands, and for it I have this that may serve you well." Baine says to Ziel as he shows him the Hellgun.
	Neue-Ziel	"Impressive weaponry. What would I have that you would want." Ziel binary commands the Gun servitors toward his newest 'project'.
	Baine_Mort	"If word has it, you have a plasma pistol in your possession."
	RosenkrantzGM	The servitors clumsily, but steadily approach.
	Neue-Ziel	"interesting. Did Lady Lucrezia tell you or perhaps one of her many interesting associates?" He motions the servitors to stop.
	Neue-Ziel	heads towards his gun storage unit and gets the Plasma Pistol.
	Baine_Mort	"Does it matter who told me of this?"
	Neue-Ziel	places the pistol on his work bench and says "Just curious that's all... One moment please."
	Baine_Mort	nods as he waits
	Neue-Ziel	uses his Utility Mechadendrite to carve on the handle a symbol of the Omnissiah and on the barrel in Techna-lingua "Suffer not the heretic to live."
	Neue-Ziel	pours sacred oil on the engraves of the pistol and sanctifies it with a short prayer.
	Neue-Ziel	hands the blessed weapon over to Mort.
	Neue-Ziel	"It is ready."
	Baine_Mort	"Thank you Ziel and as promises, here is the Hellgun, may it server you well in the field of battle." Baine hands Ziel the Hellgun as he takes the pistol and looks it over.
	Neue-Ziel	starts to modify the Hellgun with carving of an Omnissiah symbol on the handle and on the barrel in Techna-lingua "The Emperor Protects, The Omnissiah Saves."
	Neue-Ziel	looks over at Mort "Is that all you need or was there something else?"
	Neue-Ziel	pours the oil and says a short prayer.
	Baine_Mort	"No that is really all, we should be heading back as we are to leave soon for the station."
	RosenkrantzGM	+Enginseer-Prime Ziel, Master of Ordnance Mort. Please report to the landing bay, by order of the Lord-Captain+
	Baine_Mort	+Understood, we will be there shortly.+
	Neue-Ziel	grabs his chainsaw, new hellgun, his notes, and his standard equipment.
	Neue-Ziel	"Follow Me."
	Neue-Ziel	heads toward the landing bay.
	Baine_Mort	nods and follows Ziel.
	Neue-Ziel	disables Mort's permissions after both of them have cleared the Enginarium.
	RosenkrantzGM	In the sectors near leading to the hangar, you realize how oddly crowded the corridors appear to be.
	Neue-Ziel	"Strange."
	RosenkrantzGM	Lighter-bay staff, by the look of their uniforms, wander around outside the Lord-Captain's Hangar and Bay.
	RosenkrantzGM	Standing directly in front of the entrance, a platoon of Armsmen block anyone from walking through the door.
	RosenkrantzGM	This appears to include you, as a Sergeant-At-Arms holds his hand up as you approach.
	Neue-Ziel	"Hello."
	Baine_Mort	approaches the Sergeant
	RosenkrantzGM	He places his other hand on his commbead and speaks into it, "Lord Chomun, the Enginseer-Prime and Master of Ordnance wish to enter the Hangar."
	RosenkrantzGM	Apparently not receiving a response, he walks into the hangar himself.
	Neue-Ziel	"Of Course."
	Baine_Mort	looks at Ziel, "wonder whats up with all the guards."
	RosenkrantzGM	The Sergeant-at-arms returns outside.
	RosenkrantzGM	"Thank you for your patience, my Lords. You may proceed."
	Baine_Mort	nods to the Sargent and enters.
	Neue-Ziel	enters the lander bay.
