Centurion armor also has the fluff drawback of being unable to interface with a Space Marine's existing power armor or black carapace like Terminator and standard power armor does. This is probably why the RT can use it - it's just incredibly reinforced power armor, not specialized Space Marine only equipment. Hell, the only reason there aren't SoB versions of the thing is because GW will release new SoB models at about the same time the God Emperor is scheduled to begin his Great Crusade.

The Warhammer 40k universe is not one in which every life is sacred. Warfare and adventure on a inter-planetary scale doesn't leave time to worry about Dregs. B. Make sure any plan that could fail will be blamed on her, and any plan that succeeds will be blamed on us, however. 1. An inquisitorial agent without Paranoia will be a dead inquisitorial agent sooner rather than later.

It's only Tek Heresy if a higher-up says so. Or it uses AI or is obviously Xenos. Edit: Honestly what she's revealed here shows she's got a weak-as-gently caress hand to play with. We can use her as a catspaw in our plot against the Slimy One. Hell, I'd advocate sending Woodhouse to see what he can find about her so-called network and see if we can subvert it to our own ends.

I think it's important to find out what Limosa wants from us, and we should see if we can't make him think we'd be happy to support his bid if we got something - like maybe becoming Magos ourself? Obviously inform the Magos so he doesn't see us fake plotting against him. D.

Can we set up some sort of monitoring system with a camera? It'd be useful to know who comes and goes in this place, especially if they come and leave by some other exit. Otherwise I say record and report this poo poo to the Magos and the Inquisitor, but with subtlety. You can always vent this place later. So B and Something Else I suppose.

I vote D because trusting someone is sure to backfire spectacularly at some point and so I'd like it to backfire into surprise Hereteks rather than a knife in the back. We should still set up our own lab for the day we overthrow the Magos and take the position of ROGUE MAGOS!

D for me as well. Having your gloating cousin's gun not fire when he pulls the trigger (or better yet, explode in his hand) will be... satisfying. Also if servo-skulls are available why not send out a team of ten or so networked together with surveying equipment to search the ship for convenient bolt-holes and lost places? It can't hurt to have a place to run to if everything goes horribly wrong.

What can we discern about the static? If it's an information dead zone or bit of hostile scrap code, can we make a filter so we see something benign, yet obvious - a patch of plaid, perhaps, if it's a visual phenomenon as I assume - instead of the [static]? Then shoot the plaid. Shoot it a lot.

Sounds like a great time for a code Omega to me. I'm in favor of plan stop the distribution but we shouldn't risk our own hides.... or even assume that the daemon/xenos thing is talking to us. After all, we're part of a group. Clarification: Were these Sisters of Battle? If so, call in a code omega, vent the area, sacrifice our allies but open the airlocks and rely on our augmetics and the artifact to keep us alive in vacuum long enough to get the hell out. After all, we do not want to go up against anything that can take out Sisters in Power Armor, no matter how sneaky it did so. VanSandman fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Dec 14, 2014 |

The only God we serve is the sacred Machine-God! All hail the Omnissiah! B I like the plan that involves throwing the new cat at the demon as a distraction while we signal a code Omega on repeat, broadcasting our current position and, if possible, a private channel to our Lord-Sire with the visual and audio feed from our sensors so he can witness our bravery personally. Meanwhile, after stopping the distribution I suggest we retreat to a more defensible position. Hopefully the Daemonhost can't phase through walls.

Sugar and talking are suckers' choices. Throwing the cat cannot have any terrible consequences later on, so I go with plan Cat 2, even if we have to burn a fate point its worth it to kill the daemon.

It's 40k. Contradict the lore freely if it tells a good story. Besides the difference between an Explorator fleet and a Rogue Trader is one of motivation, not action.

Let's go in with the professionals. C The proper professionals, not the mercenaries. We should liase with the Guard and Munitorum to see if we can get away with 'borrowing' some light flyers and troop transports. See if we can get Limosa to deal with the local nobility - try and sell some seats to nobility that have not yet been liberated, 100% cash down, so if and when they perish horribly we at least have their money. As for Amacita, I'm distrustful of her motives, but if we can keep an eye on her somehow she should be good at rousing the pilgrims. I recommend splitting the mercenary companies into two groups - one to travel with the pilgrims and act as the anvil to the wildly flailing hammer that will be the pilgrims. Perhaps Amacita would be best seconded with them, so long as we could keep an eye on her and have the mercenary leader ready with a tranq dart if she starts doing something heretical. If the pilgrim front fails they can fall back and join the Guard proper and act as a heavy infantry detachment. Shame we don't have any armor, then I could make a proper plan of it. The second group of mercenaries should be kept away from the guard, at first - I sense nothing but rivalries if they are deployed together. They should come with us, AFTER initial deployment. We can serve as a highly mobile detachment to snuff out trouble on the battlefield before it turns into a crisis. We should get some vehicles for this purpose. And, of course, the moment we hear the way is clear to Gamma hive we can book it over there. In the meanwhile, see what we can scrounge up in the way of arms for the proper equipping of the Guard. Obviously we should charge the Munitorum for the renting of said arms if it becomes necessary. They'll need to train with the right equipment before they reach the battlefield. I'm going to need a map of the battlefield as soon as possible.

LowellDND posted:They are actually the best equipped at the moment. The Lord-Sire has about 2 divisions of mercenaries he uses for various things, although they don't play well with others. Think of them as ... thirty odd battalions with their own traditions, officers, and gear. The Widowmaker had spent some time cultivating them all, but he met a bad end. Oh we should absolutely be part of a larger force, on a flank if we can manage it. Let other guys take massive casualties, we'll be the ones giving them. As for our equipment, that's what I suspected. Would it be reasonable to call the mercenaries armored divisions?

Nah, our XP vote will determine where we should focus our actions. Also would it be possible to work Limosa and convince him we're secretly aiming for the job of Magos instead of Rogue Trader? Some stuff about the magnificence of the ship and how it resembles the Omnissiah in his incarnation as a void-ship or something. Make us seem like less of a threat.

Oh, and for those who don't know: Making the sign of the aquila means crossing your hands on your chest and linking your thumbs, so you have what looks like a 2 headed eagle with the thumbs as the heads and your fingers as the wings. Making the cogsign means partially curling your fingers on each hand then inserting one into the other like cog teeth, also across your chest. I have always liked that both are a real thing we can do with our hands.

While Mother is existentially terrifying, we should get back to the vehicles and enact plan B. If we have to we can burn the place. Mother is, however, a potentially very useful tool - the ability to conceive of tools to develop tools is a sign of the Omnissiah's blessing, and we should not ignore it. If we can, take Mother with us when we leave the planet. She could be a powerful minion, if she can be controlled.
