What does Crispy think? We rescued him, may as well get his advice. Where do most of the other servitors come from?

Presumably we're gonna need a crew at some point and it'd be nice not to rule out options for populating our new ship by pissing off the metaphysical Footfall Police.

Troops through the plume, everyone else through the asteroid.

I don't quite know how Acquisition works but I think two Common adds up to one Average, and two Plentiful adds up to one Common. So: frag grenades (common) and silenced stub automatics (plentiful/plentiful) for all our troops. The whole "let's make one platoon faintly badass" idea is a bit stupid when we have a thousand trained stormtroopers and we hang out with a giant in power armour with a thunder hammer.

I don't care what our house troops are called so long as it's not easy to confuse them with mechanicus troops.

"Hey, we thought you should have this, in exchange for you signing up to give us future, undisclosed favours."

Is it strictly necessary to yell "HEELLLLLP! HELLLLP!" down the comms on a broadband channel while we do this, or are we unable to spin this differently?

I mean, Team Let's Give The Laslords The Chance To Sabotage Things Before They Are Overrun seems to be carrying the vote so it's not like it matters, but still. I'm surprised the "give up this archaeotech" solution is the "pussy out" one rather than the "forge extremely strong ties with the Mechanicus" one.

Exactly. We've already got one enormous stain on our reputation, a second one will kill the dynasty faster than you can say "PURGE"

i struggle to reconcile "forerunners shackled their flesh to ancient alien machine consciousness" and "brought the AdMech in to kill off a bunch of space pirates instead of doing it personally" as equal sins in the great ledger of life

Greetings, navigators Eye, Eye and Eye.

I vote A, in service to gaining Rast's good opinion to romance him later, but mostly I think we should make for the planet where they violently worship a small rodent, and abduct it and ransom it back. If they worship the species as a whole then we abduct the loving species.

It's a good post but in some respects it's also kind of a shame, because it's nice to occasionally define your character rather than simply pick the optimal solution for gaining most information. Makes it easier on the GM, too.
