Be a snooty noblewoman who looks down her nose at everyone else. Also be rich as gently caress and have the most blinged out gear.

Scum, because being able to talk good to people is awesome when you need to talk down to people.

Techpriests don't have psykers. They do BREED psykers, but only so they can turn them into living modems that they burn through at a rapid pace.

Option 1, we need to decide who would be easiest to frame... or most likely to actually be heretical. Whatever works. Best way to do this is to look over everyone as if we had never seen them before, and decide if anyone's actions/behaviors/speech strike us as frameable/heretical.

We won't cut directly through the radiation, but we WILL cut the corner. We have more machine parts than them, so we can deal with higher rad levels. That means we don't have to travel as far. AND, we can launch the dog THROUGH the rad zone and pick him up on the other side, giving us a temporary speed boost by not having his weight. This will throw the others off because our performance profile suddenly changes!

Also, this gives us time to put our thumb on our nose and waggle our fingers at them as we pass them.

chin up everything sucks
Jan 29, 2012

It's easy enough. Right now we are carrying extra weight, but the dog can apparently move on it's own and catch up to the guys ahead of us (see option B). At the moment, the guys ahead of us are taking the LONG route from point A to B because the short route involves radiation. Think of it like a curve on a race track. Hugging the inside of the curve is faster than going along the outside of it. In this case, the inside of the curve is the edge of the radiation zone. I don't want us eating ALL of the radiation, but we can probably worry about it less than the meatbags can. The dog doesn't have to worry about it at all.

So the idea is, we take the inside of the turn, but before we start taking the turn we launch the dog directly through the rad zone. With less weight, we go faster (see the note about the extra weight of the sidecar slowing us down in the post), but once we get to the other side of the rad zone, we can re-attach the sidecar for later use. You know, to keep the other guys from winning.

I just want to hold the dirty tricks for the last possible moment. I'd rather win without them, earning everyones respect.

Prevent the ship from blowing up while Red 5 drives off. Then, announce that the race was actually a secret test of character to see who's mind was the most focussed on keeping the ship intact in the event of a (totally planned) catastrophe like this. Declare yourself the winner.

We should investigate this Owen fellow, he seems highly suspicious.

Oh right, we are Owen, no wonder he's suspicious.

Lets investigate Cruentus, his 30 minute investigation could have been used to hide an actual cult. If Amacita were hiding anything, she would have done more than report "nothing is there."

In addition, we should frame investigate Limosa, because the person most in favor needs to be in flux. Any way to discredit or remove our competition is a good thing.

We don't have any good reason to be down here and looking into this stuff. Trying to turn him in would raise a number of questions, and make us enemies. Don't discredit Cruentus unless we have a good excuse for having stumbled across his deceit.

I find lies are best when kept as close to the truth as possible.

We came down here to deal with a quarrelsome machine spirit in one of the blast doors. Upon investigating its logs to see what the problem was, we found evidence of group of people in purple robes tampering with the doors for some presumably nefarious purpose. Tracking them down we were attacked and blasphemed and after dealing with the grave insult, tracked their activities here. Then the demonhost came. From where, we do not know.

Stick with what is verifiable. We accessed the local machine spirits, observed everything, hunted down a bunch of religious zealots who called us an Iron Man, killed some, and sent the rest to become servitors. Their talk of a relic had us hunt down a relic merchant because *mumble mumble mumble*, and upon finding him, found this scene of carnage, which led to the discovery of the warp incursion.

Obviously we were impressed by how quickly he solved the issue. We wanted to challenge ourselves and see if we could replicate his feats in tracking down killers. It took us two days, instead of an hour, but... still, not bad.
