As an aside, it pleases me to describe a Rogue Trader ship as "never-ending hunger and its mind-boggling stupidity ... mind bogglingly stupid, but very, very ravenous."

Since we left to study and join the Priesthood of Mars, even if we were close to some of our family, we probably aren't all that close anymore. While I really like Onion's suggestion, we should at least first check out if they actually are heretics and thus save the effort of fabricating the evidence. throw to first DAMN IT fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Aug 23, 2014 |

Actually, lets do G - Collect all evidence of our heretical activities and space them, then set about accusing our family of heresy via investigation (and forgery, if the investigation finds nothing). We need to make sure that the inquisitorial eye never looks our direction! Also that birthday thing.

Isn't it in our best interest to not leave a "hello and congratulations with your new job at the Inquisition" note lying around even if we do follow their instructions? Especially if we are to share a ship with some variety of heretic? Memorize the location of that broadcasting station and destroy all documentation linking us to the Inquisition. Then do C with the ultimate goal of obtaining the warrant as in F.

A) Warn your lord sire B) Consult the Ecclesiarchy x C) Begin your Investigation Privately x x x x D) Commune with the Machine x x x E) Destroy the Material, Pretend nothing Happened x x F) Implicate our Family, Regardless of Guilt x x x x x x x x G) Collect/frame evidence on Family, going slow x x x Looks like our Family will be the first to go. Ill keep voting up over the weekend-ish. At the moment it looks like the main argument is whether we call the Inquisitor RIGHT NOW, or if we make a good case first.

Well, we should probably get some evidence first. Although, there's no reason the evidence has to be real. Well, actually real evidence would be preferable considering there are probably some really nasty consequences for faking evidence.

Judging by the numbers, you only need to persuade 3 people to go from CALL NOW to COLLECT/FAKE SOME PROOF and your family *is* tainted, so theres prolly some credence to you thinking there is some guilt there.

Oh yeah, I definitely think we should have some evidence, even if it is fabricated.

That changes the tone a bit, originally I got the impression you were calling in at the first Astropath. Writing up some evidence, being slow, and keeping to yourself is a slightly different approach, although I dig the Paranoia game play.

Switch from F to G for me too. We need evidence, but it doesn't have to be real. I think that's what most of the people who voted F were going for.

Some update daily, or even multiple times a day (sometimes, usually not sustained). Some take longer. A lot of it depends on how many votes you have I think.

For my 2 cents, updates can be however frequent the majority of players vote, adjusted by how often the OP wants to write? It could be every days, it could be daily or a few times a day, as long as most of the players vote each update. If people don't vote they don't feel invested but they also lose interest if it is too slow. As a player, I like updates as often as possible!

Okay. Tentatively, I want to try for 2/week, with each update being 2-3 pages, which lets us explore the world a little bit. I'm not sure of the post length of the other 40k threads just yet, but they seemed a decent length.

Outside in Below you, the countless miles of machinery of the Haephestus-class Forge World, your home these many years. You spent the majority of your life there, learning the sacred arts of the Machine-God, becoming proficient in the foundations of Tech-Priest. Next to you, your cyber-mastiff snuffles uneasily, distressed by the change in gravity, the rapidly changing smells of a continent of ancient technology. To your south, a horizon of refineries, processing gigatons of promethium. Your Lord-Sire had summoned you, now finished with your training as a Tech-Priest. Now, you had two masters - the eternal Omnissiah, and your patron and lord, the Rogue Trader. Unofficially, three Masters - the Imperial Inquisition. Any one of them had the power to end your life, and the conflicting demands of all three would likely result in that, eventually. Leaving the atmosphere, if it could be called that - millennia of chemicals and waste filled the skies, all the way to low orbit - you observe the slowly approaching Beast of The Beast of Nearly 8 kilometers long, it has the look of a hammerhead shark; massive head set on a long body. Your Family lives in the bow, as they should, and the most vital and private things are kept there. The bridge, the private armoury, the purification plants. Your Family long ago came to the conclusion that such things should be kept out of the hands of the rabble, and the neck of the ship is one of the most heavily guarded. On the spine, a cathedral dedicated to the God Emperor, increasing the look of a predator at sea. Even the powerful engines, in the aft of the ship, had been decorated to be spiked fins, and various cannon had been adjusted to appear as maws, or grasping talons. At a distance, the Beast of Upon closer approach, it lost a certain gravitas. A massive two kilometer Aquilia spanned the head of the beast, but it was off center, angled at an awkward angle relative to any point of view that had been examined. Similarly, the name of the ship, scored in gold letters a hundred meters high, suffered from spelling mistakes. Hence the name Beast of Your shuttle slowly banks its way to the stern of the ship, passing three cargo bays and deploying to the fourth. Your Family’s ship primarily transmits cold cargo, megatons of this or that, but the fourth cargo bay contains atmosphere, and is meant for passengers such as yourself. The Aquila Lander lands gently, before being worked over by Tech-Priests and their apprentices. From there, it will be brought back to the shuttle bays, to appease the Machine-Spirit. You yourself are gestured deeper into the bay, where your welcoming party awaits you. Your Family, after nearly two decades away. Your Family… near enough. Three musicians, playing with enthusiasm if not skill, on Suonas. Your man-servant, the man who raised you before you were selected for training at a Forge-World. Thinking back on it, he spent most time on A) Adept B) Arbiter C) Cleric D) Scum teaching you the nuances of life aboard the Beast of “Welcome home, my lady.” - This is a two parter while I finish getting you to your quarters and the inevitable betrayal of your Family, but I wanted to give you something while you wait.
