Tran for now, I'm curious about a lot of stuff but I don't got an angle to work with until we get the basics of who this guy is and what he might know and whether he might shoot us for asking certain questions.

Jus caught up on things here. Have a question about the Lord Sire's funeral. I remember when he killed the cousin the mercenary captain that he'd said that every molecule of him would be spaced and he'd never be on the ship or help the family. It was very serious and presented as a grave sentence... So why was the lord sire launched into a star? It seems counter to what he would have wanted and similar to the punishment he gave out. I thought he'd be used in the ship to keep helping the family as it was always presented as important to him. Even if being dumped into recyclers or whatever isn't as awesome a funeral scene to write

Something about this whole setup is making me anxious and I can't figure out why. Plan Tran seems very practical, particularly the warning about not doing anything criminal. They're the sorts to tear out our bionics unsedated and awake before starting the real tortures around here.

Sour Blossom posted:Something about this whole setup is making me anxious and I can't figure out why. If the Lord-Sire was right this guy is more interested in the Staff than actually incriminating us. This is why the Lord-Sire is running some sort of trap to keep the Inquisition from getting control of the ship. S admits he has no understanding of the Beast. S also has a powerful foe about which he can find out absolutely nothing. We are a stalking horse for that foe as well. I don't think K would have arranged this. Too obvious a move for him, though it's possible he did it in some cloaked way. Doesn't match his MO though. He would not be overly concerned about our comfort, only about causing the downfall of the Heretic. Sister Suffer broadcasts her emotions and her glee is the most troubling thing at the moment. We have insufficient information about the lay of the land and motives.

The worst part of having powered through this story in a week or so is having to wait for the next update like some Dreg waiting in a line for a soylent green smoothie. But on the other hand, I do kinda remember what our current goals are. We got to 1) show our non-involvement in Limosia's death, we gotta 2) discredit Inquisitor S, and 3) show that our actions have been in keeping with the best traditions of fighting the Enemy. So we need some time to compile/analyze/fabricate some evidence, and find out who our judges and jurors are going to be so we can tailor our arguments towards them. Since I guess we can't crack this guy's head open and download the info directly from his brain in an efficient manner, I guess we gotta B talk with him to get that intel. Who's running the show, who's here to participate in this little inquiry, that sort of thing. Oh yeah, and I guess our trump card is that the inquisition has been working for ages to place one of their assets in command of the Beast and they shouldn't let the mysterious murder of some Eldar-phile derail that plot.

We need to use the library to pin down what Amacita's artifact is (probably some necrontyr anti-psyker bullshit). I think having evidence of that being in Devries's hands via Amacita might be useful to have on hand.

Inquisitor S does not want us. He wants?Revenge? For the loss of his interrogator and he wants the staff (he's radical as gently caress). He only wants Ohone as a proxy for getting the staff now that Limosa is dead. We tell him quite up front that the possible presence of heretical artifacts on board our ship disturbs us. And that if we could get some help getting back to our ship and removing impediments to doing that we would of course make finding abs turning the staff over to the inquisition our first order of priority. Lies. That's our staff and if he sets foot on our ship again we'll give him the lordsire burial treatment.

Outrail posted:Lies. That's our staff and if he sets foot on our ship again we'll give him the lordsire burial treatment. Man, that's a scene right out of a horror movie. Lock someone in an airtight coffin with just a very little life support and shoot him out a torpedo tube to spend days drifting through the Void, orbiting in closer and closer and closer in towards the sun, wondering whether you'll starve, dehydrate, asphyxiate or burn over the course of days and knowing that there is nothing and nobody who will pick you up to stop you on your fatal death spiral. And as a final touch, add a small, tiny, radiation-proof sliver of a window - not quite enough to tell what's going on outside, but just enough to guess, to dread...and maybe, most cruel of all, to hope.

Convergence You glanced down at the angry little man. Perhaps an abhuman? He didn’t have the stockiness of a high gravity world, and you knew there were many Radicals here. Although, if he was from Kozilek, he wouldn’t have been an abhuman. Perhaps a minion of Siadwell? Best to be cautious. And polite. “My apologies. I am Ohone, what can I do for you?” “I’m the Dwarf.” “I’m sorry?” He grunted at you. “You have metal ears, you heard me. I’m the Dwarf.” “Why are you the Dwarf?” “Lost half my legs fighting xeno.” “... half your legs?” “The middle half. Stop asking stupid questions.” You bit your lip. If he outranked you, this kind of behavior was acceptable, if he did not, he would need to be chastised. Which was it? “Who do you work for?” He held out an electoo imprint. “The big =][=, just like you.” “No, I mean - what Inquisitor?” “I don’t.” “What?” He gestured angrily. “Listen. This whole current Inquisition - a bunch of power-mad maniacs with too many secrets and not enough communication - isn’t what Malcador intended. It used to be more coherant, like any of the other organizations he built. But the Inquisitors got used to keeping secrets, started keeping them from each other, and now it’s just a club of paranoids.” “So where do you fit in?” “I work for the Inquisition. Not an Inquisitor.” “Are there a lot of you?” “Not as many as there used to be.” “What do you do?” “The Inquisition - that is to say, the parts that aren’t the Inquisitors, their retinues, their spies - does the support work for a lot of =][= operations. We prepare the rooms, make sure the ships are fueled, and so on. A lot of Inquisitors don’t like to use us (because they are a bunch of paranoid maniacs) but we still exist. The bureaucracy decided to offer me to help you out and get your bearings. Our cogitators think you are interesting.” What do you say? A. Interesting? How so? B. Can you tell me about my trial? C. What are the factions here? Who is important? D. The other Inquisitors are right, we don’t need you. E. Something Else

Cogitators You needed more information on what they thought of you. “Interesting? How so?” “You are on the edge of the bell curve. Your whole Family is. Half the ranks and titles you’ve gotten, you’ve done in months, where other people take decades. You get told to find a cult, and you kill a daemon who had a sector wide plot. You get told to make money, and you save a Crusade.” “Are you saying I’m better than the average?” “You are odd. Statistically improbable. Why was your Family allowed to keep a Space Hulk? They are usually destroyed. How did your Lord-Sire manage a career of Cadians, Savlars, and go from Dreg to Rogue-Trader? Do you know the probability of that rate of ascension?” “Presumably low.” He almost yelled. “It’s almost literally impossible! We’ve see planetary collisions that were more likely.” “So you are interested in my Family.” “I won’t say you are the highest priority, but you are a group of interest, sure.” You took a shot in the dark. “Is that why Siadwell took the files?” His eyes snapped to you. “See? Things like that. You were in a cell for three months, but you know something he’s trying to keep on the quiet, even from the Conclave.” “Why do you know it then?” “Its my job to know. I think Siadwell is going to find you are like riding a tiger.” “What’s a tiger?” He waved it off. “Large bird from Tau-Ceti. They are ornery. What else do you want to know?”
