"Mmyes. You've managed to put us in a quite a pickle now, my dear Honore. Jasper remarks casually while readying his trusty boltgun, trying to figure out what direction to aim it at.

Single Shotting Balzac with the Boltgun BS 44 + Half-Aim 10 + 30 for point-blank = 84, Spending fate if Miss

Mentioned to Dyne in IRC that I feel the quickest way we'd survive this is by shooting Balzac in the face and then offering the Tau his corpse and anything of his property they demand in reparation. We'll be happy to receive the bauble and not getting shot. Opinions?

D'jasper drops his boltgun to hang from its sling and powers up his las gauntlets.

"Sorry about this, old chap, but I just cant trust a person who disregards profits because of etiquette. D'jasper says, as he unloads on the unsuspecting Lord Balzac.

Re-Editing post to actually shoot the man in the back anyways, since Dyne said he already rolled for damage and all.

I was thinking it along like this: We're on a Tau world and he just decided to shoot a high ranking noble.
Either we try to patch up things with the Tau or we start running, both of which are easier when the main target is not with us

D'jasper hums and haws for a moment, chewing on the Space Marines. Eadian raised good points and while the tactical mind of the Mechanicus and Pointy-eared-xeno were also welcome, he was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

"People, I suggest we at least WAIT to see if the Tau Empire representatives are actively hostile towards us. I'm hoping we'd gain some good-will by letting these ones live, so that they can testify we only acted in self-defense AND we did not agree with Lord Balzac's actions either. he muses. "Hay, Xaynoos, do you have a commlink or something you can use to patch us in with whoever is next to.. whoever the person Honore shot in your chain of command? Do you understand? PARLEYY VOU GOTHIC? he asks the Xeno

D'Jasper strokes his chin while trying to make heads or tails of the Tau's rambling.

"So we need to go to this Fa'ce'le'tey and we'll find someone who can continue these negotiations because the previous diplomat had that unfortunate accident... his voice trails off when he sees the receptionist lurking behind the counter. He waddles to the disk and starts ringing the service bell until the receptionist makes eye contact.

"HELLO. I AM A WEALTHY BUSINESS MAN AND NEED A TRANSPORT, A TAXI OR ONE OF THEM RICKSHAWS YOU HAVE IN THESE EXOTIC COUNTRIES." he booms. "IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THE CONFERENCE ROOM IS IN DIRE NEED OF CLEANING. ALSO THERE IS FEW FOIRE COAST(?) WARRIORS BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE, COULD YOU KINDLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT?

D'jasper turns to face the new arrival and guffaws. He leans against the receptionist's desk which lets out an unpleasant creak. He appraises Dino's appearance to try to help him figure out what kind of a man he is. Clearly he is wealthy because he has huge gut and waterproof cybernetics. Someone they could use perhaps.

"What? Yes. Sure, I have to warn you that we are about to go meet with another of theses.. he speaks loudly while gesturing towards the receptionist "..people to continue with the trade negotiations that broke down." Another gesture towards the open doors to the battle-scarred conference hall "Rather bloodily, I might add."
D'Jasper gets distracted by the rest of the crews little chat. He just yells at them across the hall
"Guys, Whats this about shooting more natives? We just drive over there and explain we would like to continue the trade. These blue men have more riding on this trade negotiations than you believe."

While Dino was changing D'Jasper had taken the liberty of browsing plates abandoned by the worried tourists in the Restaurant. He was just pouring copious amounts of barbeque sauce and ketchup on a plate of exquisite prime rib with seasonal vegetables when Dino had returned. He tosses the condiment bottles onto the floor, grabs one of the steaks with his hand and brings it to his mouth. His expectant smile turned into frown and he tosses the whole plate to the floor.

"Bah, goddamn natives can't make a good hamburger even if their life depended on it." he mutters while wiping his hands on the front of his shirt. After noticing Dino he squints at the rosette "Inquisitor? That probably means you're paid to ask questions? No matter. Basically the Savages found "A shiny rock" or some stuff, didn't really listen and want to trade it for Imperial luxuries like seeds and fabrics, that kind of stuff. The natives clearly were impressed by our clothes and want to imitate, but lack the industry to produce, bless their multiple hearts"

The trader drops change from his pocket on to the receptionist's counter as a tip and saunters towards the exotic carriage clearly intended as a some sort of joke for the resort guests, but one which D'Jasper believes is what they really use for travel here.
"HELLO. WE NEED TO GET TO A 'TAU 'SEARCH FACILITY'. UMBUBU HERE KNOWS THE DIRECTIONS." he roars at the chaffeur while pointing at Ch'Ad.

D'Jasper dismounts the rickshaw and saunters to meet with the rest of the squad "THE ONE NATIVE THAT CAME WITH US WAS SO AFRAID OF TRAVELLING WITH THE AID OF TECHNOLOGY HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO DIE OF FRIGHT!" he guffaws. It takes him a moment to notice the Devilfish for what it is "MY WORD WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND. SOME SORT OF MARVEL OF MECHANICUS FORGE WORLDS?" he booms staring at it wide-eyed. "But its in the savages' colors, most strange!

Okay, What next? Ask the Three Stooges to lead us into the research complex proper?

"M4X, Fair point on the tank, but those.. things you just listed.. given we would add those to it and maybe a small auto-shrine in the rear of the vehicle and painted it green, maybe added few skulls everywhere.. would you say we could sell them to Imperial Guard as M4X-pattern STC Hover tank?" the trader ponders, not even caring for this 'tech-heresy' as it keeps violating his profit margins every time, no matter how much he wants to comply. He furrows his brow and ponders for a moment. He spots Ch'ad looking into the hammerhead nervously, talking with his crewmates in the tribal language

"Umbubu, Do what the Metal Man told you, but can you also call in to get new guides from the Fac'il'it'ee for us, I'm sure you all want to get back to your multiple wives or whatever you have?

The Trader kinda zones out while the Tau warrior speaks. While his tale of how he was not born a trillionaire is truly heartbreaking, he just can't muster enough care for someone without a proper lineage.
"So that's just one extra ticket then?" he had asked before the Librarian started menacing the Birdperson.

D'Jasper's eyes dart between staring at the terrified Kroot and the disgusted Astartes. His hands alternate between being crossed over and facepalming. "I implore you don't, as that would seriously hinder our chance of getting an amicable welcome." his mind races as he tries to figure out how to soothe the Librarian. "If you promise not to kill any of the Birdpeople we see during our stay I will personally buy twice the amount as mercenaries that you can slay them how you choose back on the ship, deal?"

The trader walks by the trash can before entering the museum and takes out his wallet.
D'Jasper takes from his wallet what he thinks is a reasonable amount of money for their entry fee and just throws the 1000 throne bills on the Kroot fallen into the trash can.
"I hope that's enough. he says. The Kroot seems like there's no reason to expect a reply so he just shrugs and walks inside. The posters seem like they were printed better than what hes accustomed to, but its clear the Imperium is merely lending the Tau their best technologies to win hearts and minds. "Mechanical Defenders. Sounds like some sort of Children's Saturday morning cartoon starring Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii", he thought.

Feeling bit upstaged by Wrathbeard's business card he addresses the new birdperson mustering all the highborn noble he can.

"Good Afternoon, I am a Wealthy Imperial businessman and I bring TO YOU a business proposal that you can't miss! Literally millions of thrones are riding on us getting to the SECRET RESEARCH BASE behind this facade of a museum!
