Get to the nearest fucking spaceship, fast. Pants, shoes and a gun is all we need. And money.

Maybe some amasec too.

I get a ship, yell RAMMING SPEED and then ram the exterminatus bomb.

Use my bolt pistol.
/quest

Rape bitches
get wasted

Head to the roof and skip across to rooftops to the nearest space port

>>7244789
Put on my frilly girl dress.

Get dressed and vox gang leader/known informant. Find out what the word out on the street is.

Get ghetto blasters, put volume to MAX and play "I believe i can fly!"
Hope best, but likely it just posses the inquisitors.

Pray to Tzeentch.

I think its fair to point out that the quest is done. Once exterminatus is called they orbitally bombard the planet to dust leaving at most 2 hours warning depending on the planets "OH EMPEROR WTF" level.

>>7244789
Step into the webway.

>>7244809
(for fairness, I'll probably typically go for first rational suggestion)

While mouthing a variety of heretical expletives, you throw on a pair of pants. After some digging, you grab a satchel, some nutrient pills, and some water. Finding a shirt in this mess would take too long.

You dash into the hallway. You've been broke for weeks, and are damn sure you'll need money to get off planet. Robbing one of the neighbors would probably be the quickest thing: you've been broke for two weeks.

There are three apartments next to yours: an allied ganger, the landlord, and a known mutant. Which do you hit, and how?

>>7244868
As nice as curling up into a ball and dying might sound, you're pretty sure there's no amesac in the warp, and would like to at least try to continue living.

>>7244878
Allied Ganger. We need a buddy so we can fight our way to the airport.

>>7244878

known mutant. If we don't get off planet, at least we score brownie points with the emperor by purging the mutant scum.

>>7244878
The landlord, I might need the ganger as an ally later and known mutants are worthless slave-trash so he'll own little to no money. Robbing him should be fairly easy, I knock on the door to ask if he knows what's going on (the fact that I already know what's going I'll ignore) and when he opens the door I shoot the frakker in the face. Then you ransack his appartment for phat lewt and cash.

>>7244878
Get the ganger friend to join us, failing that kill him and take his supplies, then kill the mutant.

Realise that ships doing exterminatus usually intercept ships getting off planet and realise you're fucked.

Realise the only way out is CHAOS

>>7244878
Hook up with allied ganger if he's still home (if he's smart, he's already bailed) then hit up the known mutant, if his house hasnt already been broken into.

see if the allied ganger will come with, rob the mutant and landlord, head out.

>>7244929
Kill the landlord and sacrifice him to Khorne, promising eternal servitude and bloodshed in his name if he gives you the power to escape.

Knock on mutants door, as it opens kick the door back into him. Gain entry, beat him senseless.

Wonder who this new band "Exterminatus" is, and why they are causing such awesome riots.

>>7244846

Word on the street is “Exterminatus.”

>>7244878
None. I put my trust in Malal. He likes practical jokes like that.

>>7244953
>>7244897
>>7244915
You knock on his door loudly enough to wake the dead. Your instinct is to bust the door down in this situation, but Riley is known for his stolen bolt rifle and hair trigger. Just when you turn around to move on, his door opens.

As his wide figure fills the door frame, you grown inwardly. How the hell can someone manage to become a lardass when living on Hive rations? Still, he’s better than no one. Even if he’s dumb enough to have been praying instead of running ‘til now.

Riley doesn’t require much filling in. There’s no love lost between you two and the landlord. He ought to let the two of you live in this mutant-infested hellhole for free.

You have Riley take point. Not only because his weight is enough to break down the door to a land raider, but because you’ll be damned if you take any shots to the stomach you don’t have to.

Riley charges in headfirst, then runs out just as quickly, gasping for breath. Before you can make a crack about him being worthless, you look inside. Pieces of the landlord are everywhere. His limbs and genitalia are arranged in an obscene gesture you don’t even want to consider the origins of. On the wall, written in his blood, are the words “Hail Slaanesh”.

It may be a good idea to kill the mutant.

Stop, take deep breathes. Stand up. Stretch. bend over. Place head between legs. Kiss ass goodbye.

>>7244990
Kill the mutant and loot his room.

>>7244990
Oh boy. Ok, kick down the mutants door, SHOOT FIRST, THEN LOOTAN, speed being our main concern.

>>7244878
Since I've already woken up quick, at about noon I know that I have to be in Compton soon.

>>7244990
Upon seeing the results of a blasphemous Warp-rite I go profoundly insane and start running around in little circles shouting for the Emperor to save me.

>>7244990
well, I'd say we go for the mutant then.

>>7244990
Look for anything valuable for 5 minutes then get to the muties place.

Do not disturb body.

So, the Exterminus is because of either a Slanneshi cult, or a undivided cult.

Why the hell would the Inquisition warn a planet it's about to get Exterminatus'ed?

>>7244961
This.

No one in the Imperium knows what the fuck Exterminatus is. Only those who initiate it know and they're sworn to secrecy by the Inquisition. I'm with this guy. Who the fuck are Exterminatus and why are they waking me up in the morning?

>>7245031
Sadistic Inquisitor?

>>7245048
It could be that they've only started Exterminatusing the other side of the planet first.

Virus bombs take time to work, yo.

>>7245031
If the Imperial Governor has proven himself loyal (or the Inquisitor owes him a favor) he'll get a warning, along with all those idiot nobles.

I take it someone opened their stupid mouth.

>>7245004
>>7245011
Once he stops losing his lunch, you have Riley break down the mutant’s door. The freak probably has a name, but you’ll be damned if you can remember it.

The mutant is bald, save an overgrown purple patch at the back of his head. He doesn’t turn to look at you two, he’s too busy staring out the window and giggling to himself.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

You answer with your las pistol.

His room is a mess by normal standards, but no one on planet has more experience in desperate looting. You both pocket a fistful of throne gelts. While hunting for more money, you come across the codes to his closet. You could look into it on a hunch, or get moving.

>>7245098
Open closet. The second you see/sense something fucked up, slam it shut.

No need to be brain raped because we saw more Chaotic writings.

>>7245116
this.

>>7245116
agreed

>>7245116
You punch in the code and hope for the best.

The first shelf is a godsend. There’s a bolt pistol and a few units of ammunition. You cram as much as you can carry into the satchel. So much for fitting some amasec in there later one.

The next shelf, less so. A log with a few incoherent scribbles about a ‘black ark’. You pocket it, figuring it might help you figure out just what the fuck is going on here.

The final shelf has you slam the closet door shut. There are pictures. Pictures of things one human should never do to another. They show the mutant with the landlord, some hapless pdf fuck, and Marshel. Poor Marshel. She always lent you another few gelts when you said you’d go straight, even after nobody else believed you. You’d thought she’d just gotten tired of your shit when she stopped voxing.

You give the body another two shots before you walk out.

Look for signs of furry mutants.

>>7245204
We've got two choices.
Get to the spaceport or anywhere where there might be a spaceworthy ship, or try and find out what the Ark is.

I vote for getting to anyone who might have a ship - spaceport's going to be empty if it's not already.

>>7245204
soo, we need a ship.

an ark is a type of ship, yes? find some transport, read book while on the way to the spaceport

>>7245204
Keep Las-pistol equipped, hide Bolt-pistol under shirt for a "SUDDEN REVEAL INTIMIDATION" move.

What level of the hive are we on, OP? Low, mid, spire?

>>7245220
I say we read the book and try to work as much of it out as we can. If we go insane, at least we won't have to worry any more.

>>7245204
Have Riley look at the log, see what he can make of it.
No sense risking our sanity.

>>7245265
But what if Riley's too fucking retarded to understand any of it? I suppose we can read it afterwards, if he just shrugs. If he starts foaming in the mouth and chanting shit, we burn him and the book.

>>7245285
Seconded.

>>7245220
>>7245265

You decide that the best way to kill two birds with one stone is to have Riley keep reading the book while you two keep moving.

The Spaceport is a dead link. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that with the chaos outside, what hasn’t been looted has probably been destroyed. The price of a healthy firearms trade.

You can, however, head to your boss Trace. His smuggling operation relies on a few ships discreetly coming and going from his property. The worst case scenario is hooking up with a few more gangers. Maybe you can get a card game in before the bombing starts.

Unfortunately, that involves traveling several miles out there. And it hasn’t gotten any better since the last time you looked.


>>7245251
You conceal the bolt pistol. That'll be a nice surprise for the next chaos freak.

>>7245362
try to find some sort of land based transport?

>>7245362
Hijack the next mode of transportation not in use by the PDF you see. Hovercar is best but anything maneuverable is good.

lets head out the back door and steal a choppa or some shit. go mid speed in case we have to blast a few guards

>>7245371
>>7245375
You settle on grand theft auto as a plan of action.

While Riley strains his few literary muscles, you head for the ground floor. As you reach the end of the stairwell, a las bolt flies over your head. It just isn’t your day.

A woman with the same hair style as the mutant lies bleeding on one side of the hallway, clutching the offending pistol. On the other side are her intended targets: 12 men in torn red rags, holding a variety of makeshift shivs and clubs. The largest of them managed to scrounge a chainsword somewhere, leaving you with a twinge of jealousy before the fear takes over.

The sword-wielder raises the weapon and screams:
“BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!”

It would be real nice to have some amasec right now.

>>7245444
Oh my.

Hide, let them kill each other as best they can, if possible, sneak out the back.

>“BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

we know which side to shoot now. head down the hall away from these guys firing as we go

>>7245444
BOLT PISTOL AND LAS PISTOL
DUAL WEILD
HEADSHOTS ONLY
FINAL DESTINATION

>>7245444
Shout "HARRIERS FOR THE CUP!" then RUN LIKE FUCK. Are we on the bottom floor? Can we jump out any nearby windows without injury? If yes, do that and hope Riley follows, if no, run up stairs.

>>7245444
Let them kill each other, shoot survivors.

Shoot the red dudes, fuck the girl, win the game.

>>7245510
This.

>>7245510
I would have worded it differently, but I agree with this action.

I want the sword.

>>7245616
>>7245592
>>7245510
I dont think any action hero moves are very healthy for us. Were just a ganger with a hang over, remember.

so how bout we run and shoot?

>>7245457
>>7245533
Fuck this. You turn right around and run past the stairwell. Riley has the intelligence to follow suit.

Three of the insane fucks fall to the cultist’s fire, before one Khornate (was that what you called them? Khornat? Khornenut?) gives her an amateur lobotomy. The rest start charging toward you.

There’s one window. You blast an even wider opening with your bolt pistol before making your dive. You think you saw this on a vid once.

They’re fast, unnaturally fast. You get through just as you hear the telltale whir of the chainblade behind you. It’s short drop, but you scrape up your arm a little as you land. Feels better than a chainsword.

Riley is less lucky. He jumps to follow you, but then there’s a pause, and his momentum stops. He’s stuck in the wall.

The sheer absurdity of the situation hits you, and you can’t even think of a way to say goodbye. All you can do is restrain yourself from going into conniptions. This isn't your best moment.

It’s far, far less amusing for Riley. He wordlessly drops the data log and ejects his bolter ammunition. You’ll need it more than him now.

He mouths “good luck” before the saw comes to life.

>>7245662
Noooooooo.

Give him a Bro-salute and get moving.

Is stealing a hover car or whatever the hell they use in the future still available?

>>7245662
Riley D:

I don't get why we couldn't have just shot them though. Ah well, we can hijack a vehicle alone, right?

>>7245662
that fat fuck couldn't give us his gun too?

and damnit OP, I saw the "getting stuck in the window" thing coming ;_;

continue heading towards smuggler, trying to obtain transport as we go

>>7245662
Get a vehicle, and see if there's anywhere one can capture a spaceship.

>>7245662
Give him a salute.

See pic.

continue heading towards smuggler, trying to obtain transport as we go

>>7245736
DON'T COPY PASTE WHAT I SAID

D:

>>7245732
I watched that again recently.

My childhood is now ruined. What happened, Robot Jox? You used to be cool.

Riley, you stupid fucker. Always said your weight would be the end of you.

Grab the ammo and the logbook, then let's go steal a vehicle.

You deliver your gang salute, grab the items and get running. It’s time to find a car.

Before hopping the fence, you scope out your options. There aren’t any non-flaming abandoned vehicles in sight, it seems you’re not too original a thinker. Cruisers speed at breakneck speeds by the sidewalk; you could hijack one, at the risk of becoming roadkill. A PDF cruiser is making a show of a patrol, but none of the troopers within are risking their necks by coming out into the unfolding riots.

Then you look up. The black outline of a ship is in the sky, and growing. It’s probably going to start face-fucking the whole city in a hour. Time to pick a ride.

>>7245831
>Then you look up. The black outline of a ship is in the sky, and growing.

Oh, so at least we arent on one of the lower levels, good.

If it were us in one of those cars, we'd just run anyone over, so high jacking isnt a good idea.

Looks like foot travel is our only option for now.

>>7245831
Flag down PDF cruiser
Indicate you have a possible ride out in exchange for transport to it
Extra Guns always help clear the way to a launch

>>7245831
I think we should try persuading the PDF we know where some ships are...

I bet they'd want to live if they have a choice.

>>7245866 (samefaggin')

I'm changing my vote to
>>7245882
and
>>7245894

If we can flag them down, they'd certainly want a way out of here.

Indicate that it's a smuggler's ship and if you aren't there they'd take off without letting them on.

Remember PDF guys, trying to escape from Exterminatus is against the law anyway, let's not get any little problems with illegality get in the way of big problems like surviving the next hour or so?

You put your hands behind your head and approach the PDF cruiser. Here goes nothing.

You run yelling. It looks like they’re going to speed past you until you reach the words “way out”. Then you have the driver’s attention.

A port opens on top. A one-eyed PDF trooper comes up with the biggest shit-eating grin you’ve seen in years. You hope you won’t spend your last moments looking at that face.

“We’re listening.”

>>7246069
Might as well be honest, we DO have a way out, but keep the specifics to ourselves.

No need to get shot in the back while they move on and take OUR ride.

We tell them the directions, they drive, and we all get out of this alive.

>>7246069
explain the situation and get moving

>>7246140
seconded

Tell them of the number of smuggling ships outside the city.

Offer to try and comms them over the cruiser radio, see if there are any still on the grounds.

If there's any left on the ground, that should be proof enough to the PDF.

If there's none left we're screwed anyway, ah well~

>>7246266
I bet that there's at least one still grounded due to missing parts or under fire or something. Cmon, lucky fate points!

DICKS

You explain your position in Trace’s gang, and make your case.
“Simple arrangement, right? Drive where I point, and we keep on breathing.” you say, picking your words carefully. It’s a delicate arrangement, but conning people is one of the few real skills you have. The cruiser’s side hatch opens, and you step inside.

As you shake the one-eyed man’s hand, the trooper in the back raises his voice in protest. You curse under your breath: even in the face of death, an emperor-botherer cares more about procedure than practicality. You hope you’ll leave an attractive skid mark.

Then the one-eyed man shoots him.

“Taste of the old las-rifle shut him up. Now sit down. If this lead of yours turns out to be a dead end, I’ll give you a taste too.”

Then the bastard smiles again, as if nothing happened. “By the way, my name’s Grail. I’m captain of this little squad.”

You return your name in an empty gesture of friendship. The driver gets you moving, but you wonder if you’re really headed anywhere you want to be.

>>7246368
How many men in the squad? Armed? Armored?

Just give them the directions, and if they deviate, bail.

>>7246368
Point them in the vague direction towards the launch site and out of the city.

Get on the comms and see if you can hail the ships.. one's GOT to still be on the ground.

>>7246387
>>7246393
this and that.

I'm watching this thread eagerly.

>>7246393
You give shitty directions to the smuggler's place, hoping to find your fellow hivegang preparing to lift off.

The one-eyed dude, Grail, speaks as you're driving along, "Hey how's about you touch my penis?"

>>7246677
Ignore this ass.

>>7246387
Things seem to go smoothly enough once you get moving. You give the driver another set of limited directions every few minutes, ready to shoot or jump if things go south.

To pass the time, you take a look at the log you picked up from the mutant’s apartment. The other four grunts are in no mood to talk after the shooting, and even reading heresy has to be better than talking to Captain Grail.

It starts out as a normal journal. Typical mutant stuff: working in freak shows with the occasional beating. You might have even handed him one, after downing a few. Then it gets darker. Boring crap about “showing them”, “evening the score”, “escaping this hole”. Odd, but still something you could find in any moody teen’s log.

Finally, the references to the Great Enemy become more explicit. Evidently he fell into a Slaaneshi (Slaaneshite? Slanneshian?) cult. He was some kind of low grade psychic. No fancy fireworks (luckily for you, otherwise the robbery might have been botched), but rather the ability to ‘see things’. He was put in charge of finding something called a Black Ark.

The entries collapse into madness for a few weeks. Sentences that make no sense, and symbols that make your head hurt. Then, for one entry, lucidity is regained.

“Black Arc is here. On planet. Under our noses this whole time.

It is unprecedented. An artifact of the Old Ones, capable of placing a gate between any two points in reality. Imagine the potential. Instant military mobilization. An army on Cadia. A hole between the warp and Terra.

Anything we want."

>>7246677
GO BACK TO QUEEN DOPAPOPOLUS, DOPPELGANGER!

>>7246706
is that the end of the book?

dear god, let's find ourselves a teleporter.

>>7246706
Right, right, a black ark, but what about getting in touch with our smuggling friends?

>>7246706
Find the Black Ark.

Teleport to Columbia. Teleport all Columbia's cocaine to chill with Doomrider.

>>7246792
Fuck no, Chaos.

Bad juju that chaos stuff.

>>7246734
>>7246788
This changes your situation. You don’t give two half-shits about the endless wars of the Imperium (you dodged recruitment for a reason), but there won’t be anywhere to hide from chaos freaks if they get a teleporter (teleprompter? telethon?). Then again, why not let the battleships take care of it? No point in dying destroying something that will be vaporized on its own. And you at least know enough to understand that Chaos artifacts aren’t toys.

Either way, hell if you’re going anywhere alone. Trace better not have run off without you.

You’re taken out of your thoughts by the telltale crack of bolter fire. The back of the cruiser rips open, sending shrapnel flying into one grunt, and throwing another flying into the pavement. Your hearing is dulled, replaced with a dull whine from the explosion.

When you regain your senses, you see it. Three power armored heretics on bikes. The horsemen of the Great Enemy. Somehow, they’re even more terrifying in person than in the propaganda.

“Keep driving!” shouts Grail, throwing the incapacitated trooper onto the road behind you. One rogue Astartes is forced to swerve wide to avoid the human projectile, but instantly reclaims control. There may be no way out of this one.

You remember that there was a perfectly good bottle of amasec under the bed. Perhaps you should have brought it with you.

(That’s all for the day, I’ma screencap this and continue tomorrow, or later in the week.)

Eerrr, die instantly? An Exterminatus is lauched from orbit, no ground forces, they wouldn't warn the populace and even if you said "it was only one side of the planet" Virus bomb stake MINUTES to destroy an ENTIRE planet and Cyclonic Torpedo's are an intsa-gib. Replace the word "Exterminatus" on the screen to "PURGE" and its all good. Otherwise it doesn;t make any fucking sense my goodman

>>7247267
Or maybe they're holding off until they get something off the planet?

>>7247275

...yeah whilst flashing "Exterminatus" on giant screens? Durp no

>>7247275
Yeah, like, some kind of artifact. That just got talked about. At length.
Dumbshit.

>>7247294

Yeah see:

>>7247292

>>7247292
Chaos-types causing panic. There.

>>7247338

OP just change "Exterminatus" to "Purge" and its good. Godmamn announcing an Exterminatus.....

However, if exterminatus was not going to happen and this announcement is just a cunning plan to lure out the enemy into the public...or if the enemy is using this as a diversion to find the black arc...

>>7247477

Exterminatus isn't Low Gothic, most would have no idea what the hell it men't. However the world "Purge" would most certainly cause mass panic.

>>7247502
Your mom isn't low gothic.
