Lucia

Having made perfunctory greetings to the rest of the cell and brought them up with what information she has, Lucia nods at Max's assessment. "Sounds good enough, how quiet do we want our entrance to be? Bringing down enforcers will only complicate matters. In addition, if this place is holding items of high value, there might be machine spirits guarding the locks, and those are a beast to cut through quickly." She points to the two cameras. "Such as those little spy boxes over there, by the gate control, and another on the smaller building watching everything coming through the gate."

"I'm of the opposite tactical position to Barry here; you need to get me into an enclosed area where I won't simply be gunned down before I can cut them to pieces. Hitting the annex building first lends to that goal."


Common Lore (Underworld) to figure out how quickly the cops show if shooting and chainsawing starts in this locality. I'm totally cool with you ruling it doesn't apply and Barry's skill would be more applicable.

Additionally, how loud is a grapple gun? I'm guessing a compressed air fart and a winch deploying would be somewhat obscured by other industrial sounds.

Lucia attempts to clear the wall and follow behind Max once they're all past it.

How much noise would chainswords make while idling? I know its 200m when they're :black101:ing. If its significant/can't be countered by the stummer, is it a half action to turn on a chainsword?

I get the feeling if we're spotted by someone within charge distance, the best thing to do would be dual swift attack with my fists and attempt to reduce the target to paste before he yells.

"How fast can we interrogate, and how much time do we have? Gunshots and these," she gestures to the blades. "are not quiet, even with a stummer. The line workers probably won't have much info, and the guards might just be hired thugs. I'm guessing we wade in and let the Emperor sort them out and if there's a survivor or two we drag them back to where ever and get them to talk. Thoughts?

Oh hey what's this, someone stuffing things away and preparing to run for it? Oh dear, that simply won't do. Lucia tears out of the annex and runs across the catwalk over him, and prepares to leap.

Okay, that is a very very scary gun, and with his underlings running toward him, Lucia aborts her aerial assault plan in favor of hopefully locking these assholes down. She drops a chainsword and pulls out the machine pistol and sprays it in the general area of those below.

Free action drop weapon, free action quickdraw autopistol Surpressive fire on as many people below me as possible, especially the boss. I think I can get all the group. With a whopping TN of 5, I hit nothing of course

Lucia needs to get down there. Hopefully if she could get the leader within chainsword biting range, the rest of the scum would hesitate to shoot. Hopefully. No time to pick up the dropped sword. She hated doing that, but sometimes you needed the lead spitter in your hand right that instant. Nevertheless, her family blade is still in her right hand, roaring as she leaps over the catwalk and downwards.

Per OOC: 1) perform a Charge action - including another +10 for high ground - and vault over the edge. total TN is WS +30, +40 if you have Berserk Charge

2) if you connect, you resolve the charge attack, and the DoS on your Charge action count as your DoS on a Knockdown action. no fall damage for something of this height.

Base WS 45 + 10 BQ sword +30 Charge resolution=85.

Result: [49], 4 DoS.

On the floor, Lucia towers over the unfortunate leader as she pulls her blade from his chest and moves to subdue him "SURRENDER OR DIE."

Grapple target. Base WS 45+Standard Attack +10+ attacking prone+10=TN 65. Barely hit with a [57]
Intimidate roll if this connects: ugh, [73] no. Reroll [58], that'll succeed presuming I get at least +20 in bonuses from circumstances. "+20: Opponent is at a disadvantage to the character, such as beingoutnumbered or wounded" hopefully applies. In addition, if Intimidate succeeds, I get +1DoS from Unnatural strength 1.


Actions:

-Spend a FP to reroll to be unblinded.

-Half action aim, half action standard attack grapple

I'll just have to intimidate next turn, I guess.

Lucia pins the goon, leans over his ear and put the chain sword a centimeter away from his throat. "Surrender now or join your crew."

Lucia grimaces and keeps the boss in a lock-hold until whoever had the cuffs could get down there and immobilize him. Once the guy who was up on the roof lurches downstairs, she looks around to see if anyone will take custody of him for the meantime.

That had gone really well despite the really questionable nature of their plan. Usually "The Emperor Protects" was something said with either resignation, or if you were were feeling saucy and heterodox, sarcasm. But there were few other explanations as to why a team of bumbling idiots had managed to shock-assault and win with only one incapacitation.

Holding goggles unless someone else wants to. I can run down to the boat and notify the Deculons if you want, I think my AB 4 is the highest, plus I get outcast bonuses against fatigue.

And yes, worrying about fatigue levels from a 10 minute run was possibly the most :goonsay: thing I've done in a while.

Handing off the-goon-formerly-known-as-googles (While pocketing said goggles) to someone else, Lucia pokes around the place, making sure to climb back to the top of the catwalk and get her other blade. She had been considering getting her own socket restored with bionics but most common cybernetics in the Imperium were horrible hackjobs like that guy had or overly-ornate things with headtubes that were a liability in a fight. She herself had yanked out a cable from someone's skull in a fight before and had no intention of that happening to her.

But back to the matter at hand, Lucia is not quite a detective in the classic sense, and further investigation of the notes and what not was probably better dealt with at where ever the cell was headquartered.

Wine Cellar in the Ruins of the Gilded Thorn
Port Remonstrance


Lucia tries to think of something to say as the team just kinda leaves their wounded comrade on the curb and walks off. She makes a mental note not to get incapacitated, I mean beyond the usual reasons why.

With the Deculons and local security goons mopping up the situation, it was time to leave and get the information they came here to get. It was hard won and several of the remaining team were wounded as well, so it was up to her to help plan what to do next.

There had been mentions of the fiasco at the casino-brothel the team had visited earlier, although Lucia was unsure on the details. Having run through her mental index of safehouses in the area she discounts each one for one reason or another. When Gamma mentions the Gilded Thorn, Lucia agrees with the tiny, creepy psyker that hiding him in near-plain sight might be the best option.

After checking that there were no last minute cops, investigators, or scavengers about, she carefully opens the door and removes whatever temporary barriers had been erected over the lower level of the building. Lucia opens the way to the now empty wine cellar of the place. A nice quiet venue where screams hopefully won't be heard. (She wasn't sure what method of interrogation the cell used but direct force seemed to be their forte.)

Securing ex-goggles to a chair she waits for the rest of the team to do their jobs, she was there to just be large and scary.

Okay, we're in the wine cellar. I had TN 30 for common lore:underworld and got a [24], plus I believe Gamma and someone else was going to boost those DoS. I don't have Interrogate, but I do have Intimidate, not sure how that would apply here.

After dropping off the victim POI, Lucia mentions she'll meet the team back at their safehouse, presumably getting the location at some juncture. Later, she enters through whatever untrapped secondary entrance there is. Having changed out of flak in exchange for a bodyglove, she's mostly combed out her helmet hair and has whatever belongings of her previous assignment slung over her shoulder.

"Okay, since we've already gotten stuck in together, I suppose introductions are overdue, Lucia Dolores Bernadette Makenziesdottir-Delgado, Dame-Errant, at your service." Some people would bow, but that would have been trite and she's tired so she just slings her laundry bag full of armor, weapons, and drugs down on a table. "I'm a people person, I know what makes them tick, and am also familiar with making them stop ticking." Lucia stands up straight and stretches her taut, powerful frame, eliciting several unnerving pops and clicks from her spine. "Pleased to meet you."

The Imperium needs those kinds of people but not here, not now." She listens to Gamma and nods. "Noted." She looks back at the room, "And I still have my own questions too, like why did a bunch of those giant critters all decide to congregate and chow down on dozens of subs?"

I don't think I can tell him any of the above because I wasn't there when those things happened. Going to wait until one of the other social people says something but will post in 48 hours if no one replies.

The hillbilly enforcer had probably made it unlikely they'd get much more out of him. Unless they had some secret they weren't telling her. There was a degree of trust that was not present here; between the impromptu firefight, leaving their comrade behind, and now this, a mad quest that was going to eventually lead to a leviathan infested underwater fortress filled with psychic mutants and a tech priest with who-knows-what, she was beginning to wonder if she had doomed herself.

Lucia takes some time to visit the cell's contacts and introduce herself. There's time spent that the munitorum collecting some goods to avoid a repeat of the warehouse mess. Offing common scum shouldn't have bothered her but the necessity cracking their necks like that annoyed her on some level. What if they had been an important capture target? Oh well, nothing to do but live and learn.

After acquiring what she could, Lucia spends time carefully asking around for a noble who's hobby was the collection of knowledge (preferably nautical), as compared to the usual gambling and whoring, or in her case, picking fights and hurting people. She needed to know more about the leviathans and hopefully someone existed out there with knowledge of their biology, or at least could point her to someone that could.


Attempting to get: Stun Grenades, Manacles, Custom Grip, Pict Caster.[success at first two, failure for latter two]. I think that's 4 stun grenades, not sure if manacles get the multi-item bonus applied to them or not, in which case it would be 5.
