Tremynci posted:Anything by Dan Abnett, personally: he writes the Gaunt's Ghosts series, which is more regular-old-people infantry, and wrote the Ravenor and Eisenhorn trilogies: both of those protagonists are Inquisitors like our Ohone. I'm also fond of Matthew Ferrer's Enforcer trilogy -- Shira Calpurnia is about as close as Warhammer 40K gets to a common-or-garden cop. Ohone's not an inquisitor, she's not even an acolyte. She reports to an acolyte, maybe.

B There's a good chance these are tech-aborigines, descendants of the plant's original workers. That means we can get a plant and a ready-trained workforce all at the same time. We just need to talk them into it.

Ohone is Mechanicaus, and the Mechanicus does not sweat. They make a machine to do the work for them. A full tech priest should be able to build a line-acending unit with ease, especially with assorted machine parts and a mechanized convoy to work with. Run a line up to the lift with the skull, then use the ascender to climb it. Make it crank driven or something for speed if you want, but anyone who gets friction can make it.

It's a good thing that our brave rogue trader allies were there to step in when this obviously corrupt guard offices lost control of his troops, isn't it? If only they had been closer, then the water treatment technology could have been saved from "rampaging ogryns." Yes, I suppose we'll have to turn to a proven logistical expert to handle supplies for now.

Tell him his insignificant criminal empire is being dismantled as you speak, increasing the efficiency of the Imperial Guard operations on the planet by a whole hundredth of a percentage point. Then explain in full detail as you process him exactly how you hosed him, preserving his head and senses as much as possible so he can watch his processing with his own eyes. Then laugh and laugh, and thank him for his generous donation of the trucks to the Beast of Traal. All of the above, with emphasis on this.

Stealing a hive cap is neat and all, but aren't the margins too small? If we charge the nobles a king's ransom for evacuation with what they can carry, we get what they pay plus everything they leave behind, so long as we make sure to "secure the hive for a rearguard sweep."

SCENE: Devries, the fugitive, flees down a corridor, ticking noises close behind him. He turns a corner, but is thrown back by a strangely springy net. At every door, a knitted snare prevents escape. There's nowhere to run. Not anymore. The skulls close in, already knitting the last binds he'll ever wear. tick tick tick

If we had genestealer hybrids with us, the psider hats' untouchable effect would have reduced them to terrified, quivering wrecks long ago. They are unable to function when cut off from the hive mind, even a genstealer cult's hive mind. Plus they would have been actively sabotaging imperial activity already to support the Tyranids.

Brief hive mind infodump: the bulk of a tyranid force is guant-sized creatures. Outside of synapse, they're about as smart as a wild dog with lots of sharp bits. Inside synapse, they're literally an extension of whatever intelligent tyranid happens to be operating them. Shoot the big ones, and the loss of cohesion combined with synaptic shock will deal a serious blow to the overall force. This easier said than done, because warriors are tough and as smart as you are, and hive tyrants are even tougher and smarter. Exotic specialist bioforms like zoanthropes (tyranid psykers) are a huge problem. As mentioned, Lictors are intelligent but are not synapse relays.

It's unlikely that Devries is a genestealer or associated with them beyond "hey a couple guys bought guns from me." Besides the fact that the IG checks units pretty regularly, a criminal would be scrutinized even further. And that Kroot he keeps around sure as hell would notice a genstealer infectee.

I can't say I'm surprised by how Amacita's marriage turned out, but it's still depressing. I wonder if Devries just clones her as needed, or thinks of her as such a non-person that he just knocks her around? This is another mark in the column of "unworthy" -- the Imperium should understand that duty goes both ways, and the Inquisition is failing to correct the situation.
