He lies. This is a trap. I like this trap, I suggest we walk into it. "I would be pleased to work for you. That is, if I had killed my cousin, of course."

Hm. I need to drop off real soon, but I will note this: Apparently, agents that are dumb enough to get killed are expendable. Admitting to an inquisitor that we killed his agent in exchange for a purely verbal, off-the-cuff promise of employment is pretty dumb. Whether or not we want to work with him, he does not need dumb agents. Let's not be dumb. Edit: Also, Kozilek is apparently perfectly capable of finding and breaking into our hidden hideouts, and we've yet to set up a new one. If we turn coat for someone we KNOW he will loathe the gently caress out of, what do you suppose happens to us after that?

They are good cop, bad coping us. Tell them you are new to inquisition game and wish to neither choose sides nor cause hardship to either, however we have every intention of cooperating with the inquisition. We then lay out every bit of evidence we have, not naming Devries but leaving enough dots to paint the picture as we did before with the previous scion. The sooner this matter closed the sooner the inquisition leaves and the sooner The Beast gets back to making profit. no finger pointing, no speculation, just cold hard facts. We are a machine, let us act like one. A machine need not lie.

Actually, formal voting: "You say that you replace dumb agents. Admitting to an Inquisitor that you killed one of his agents, whether you actually did or didn't, regardless of your reasons for doing so, is quite dumb. I fear it is logically impossible to accept your offer." Edit: DON'T mention the thing about "especially considering our Inquisitor," he can connect the dots as well as anybody and the list of secretive Puritans working in this sector is probably small enough that he can use that to figure out who our Inquisitor is - and if Kozilek values his secrecy so much, he will NOT appreciate our letting that slip.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we can get a better sales pitch WITHOUT pissing off Kozilek. Well, more than he'd already be pissed off at the defection thing. Let's not burn our bridges too badly, is what I'm saying. In a scenario which I'm not sure I'd describe as best or worst, we'd end up with Siadwell recruiting us, and then Kozilek thinking that we're going to be a double-agent to keep tabs on this dangerous radical madman, thus allowing us to juggle two Inquisitors at once which sounds like all kinds of fun. I don't know if I'm being sarcastic or not with that last phrase.

Come to think of it, if Siadwell had been twisting the Lord-Sire's arm, that would actually explain his conversation with us really well. He insists that we "tell him first' once we get proof of whodunnit - because he's aware that Siadwell is going to try to get the murderer on side, while the Lord-Sire would prefer to just wring his neck.

First... Very cool that our handler is invisible, ideologies aside. Whether he is legit or not it is very cool. Kind of a drag though. It means jumping ship or holding the course makes an enemy either way. I think this guy would be the better enemy to choose since we are likely to see him coming. Our handler not so much. I am humbled and honored by such an offer, but I feel a need to settle these matters before I could give such an offer the serious consideration it is due. There is a snake among us and I must first see it defanged or eliminated.

En Garde You shook your head. “Every member of the Imperium must understand loyalty. Loyalty to Family, to the Mechanicus, to the Inquisition. I cannot abandon one, simply because a better offer comes along.” Siadwell glanced at Sister Suffer, who shrugged. It looked like you passed some sort of test. You continued. “However, I am happy to cooperate on the investigation of the Interrogator’s death. I take the sudden death of people trying to warn me of danger very personally.” Siadwell looked at you. “Tell me about his death.” “He approached me at the party. He offered an alliance against a mutual enemy.” “Did he say what enemy?” “He said I would know who he meant.” “Do you?” “A few options come to mind.” “Like who?” “Major Devries.” “Who is he?” “The groom. He’s a snake.” “How so?” “Uses intimidation, debt slavery, drug addiction to manage an empire. Uses Replicae Heretek. Drugged a Commissar. Associates with mutants. Dances just on the edge of legality. Cooperates with the military police. Probably uses bribes to stay safe.” “How did he get here?” “He thought Amacita was an easy mark.” “Is she?” “Or the most deep cover deep agent I’ve ever heard of.” “For who?” “I don’t know. Maybe herself.” “You don’t trust her?” “I trust her to be naive.” “A dangerous habit.” “You have no idea.” He paused. “What other suspects?” “Lord-Sire.” “Limosa wanted to kill Lord-Sire?” “If you want to be Lord-Sire, you have to get rid of the old one.” “Is that common?” “The current one did it.” “Do you think Lord-Sire killed Limosa as a threat?” “I don’t know. He seemed distraught over it.” “Would that stop him?” “I don’t think so.” “Would he try to kill you next?” “Only if he wanted Amacita to rule.” “Would he?” “I doubt it.” “Anyone else?” “I don’t know.” “Your Inquisitor?” “I don’t know him well.” “How were you selected as an Acolyte then?” "Letter in the mail." “Did he say why she made you an Interrogator?” “They didn’t explain.” “Did your Inquisitor have a problem with Limosa? His Radical views, or his Eldar affiliations?” "I speculate that my Inquisitor wouldn't have liked Limosa. But I don't know beyond that." “Is that where you got your shuriken pistol? When you killed Limosa?” “There were many witnesses to when he died. I didn’t approach the body.” “What happened to the body?” “It was incinerated for safety.” “By who?” “The Krieg.” “Who you are friends with.” “Krieg don’t have friends.” “Comrades then.” “Not sure they have those either.” “Its said they’ll die for you.” “Krieg will die for a lot of reasons.” “And their Commissar?” “Which one?” “Fabiyan.” “We’ve worked together.” “Enough to kill together?” “Only xenos.” “Do you think Limosa was a xeno?” “What?” “Or worked with xenos.” “There were always rumors.” “Would you kill him over a rumor?” “He’s dead, so I can’t kill him over a rumor.” “Would you have?” “No.” “How do you feel about Eldar?” “Never met one.” “But you have their pistol.” “Rogue Trader Families have lots of things.” He glanced at Sister Suffer again. “Thank you for cooperating. We’ll be back.” Loel fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Feb 24, 2015 |
