Go with B

Also, as far as updates go, I'm generally more passive so I'm OK with more frequent updates at the cost of potentially skipping the chance to vote. I'm here for the story, not to sperg.

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.

Please do this.

Investigate those "Servitors". It's likely to be more than it seems, and they were probably counting on no one knowing the difference.

Amacita did seem to find a somewhat heterodox one though, what with the "lets help the dregs" as opposed to "slave, know thy place."

Helping the dregs, eh? Would you say that they would be working towards a Greater Good?

Also no disrespect Lowell but could we turn down the number of Easter Eggs? Cheapens the exp rewards from actually playing the game IMO

I agree on this. If you're going to hand out XP or noticing your reference, make it 10xp or some other token value, so that we don't reference our way through a few perks.

...Okay, just had a cool idea based on my last post's finish. We literally blow the Popsicle stand.

Slaanesh is about overindulgence and excess, right? It'd make sense that the cultists and servants of Slaanesh would love a good feast, especially an extravagant one. Say, if we blow open one of the tanks behind it marked "SWEETENER". A flood-o'-fructose would not only damage the false servitors and possibly the demon, but it serves a cool debilitating purpose too: they get all sticky and gummed up weapons, and may even turn to eating the sugary stuff to satiate their inherent need to indulge. It's like waving a bloody chunk of meat in the water in front of a shark. Instinct will overcome that cool golden facade if we tempt the demon within enough.

So yeah. Keeping my vote as B, attack, but specifically with the next post being called, Sticky Sweet Desires.

Please do this.

Getting the artifact in contact with the Demon will do the most harm. The best way to break someone of this variety is to dull their senses and make them bored. These things literally thrive on extreme sensation.

Lets give the daemon something that will make it difficult to notice even when directly staring at it, let alone target.

We've landed in loot. Grab a Chimera or command vehicle, start rallying troops who will listen. The penals are our Ogryns now, we'll have to grab armour weapons and turn the pilgrims into mechanized infantry. Take the river bank with armour, charging into emplaced weapons is not what we do best.

Let's find the food plant and settle that first.
