I was beginning to get worried, I put up flyers around my neighborhood and everything. Here's the colored version of Ishmael v Tyranid.

Well, do as the man says.

>>10683779
Maybe we'll start to actually WORK on this tub, instead of getting a free ride because of our special powers.

>>10683865
We did clean up the clutter caused by warp transition earlier. There's really not much to do on a ship when you're not one of the ones maintaining it.

>>10683850
>>10683865
You rouse Emmie from a nap and, after getting properly dressed, head down to the Cargo Hold. Ralph nods to you as you enter. "Hey there. We won't be landing for the delivery, a shuttle will be meeting us. Which means we need to prep these crates. Basically I just need you to stack them up near the airlock. I'd get the servitors to do it, but these crates are too small to bother. Stack only crates 25616 through 25648. You only have two hours, so hop to it."
Several hours of heavy lifting later your arms feel sore and you have a neat 4x4x2 stack of boxes near the airlock. You also have the remaining boxes not part of this delivery restowed and ready for travel.
Ralph reenters the Cargo hold with some water for the two of you. "The Shuttle will be here any moment now. They SHOULD have their own crew for loading, but just in case I need the two of you to stay here and-" Ralph is interrupted by Ismael on the PA. "Ralph, we just received some news. Tha boss' boss be on the shuttle. He be wanting ta meet the new pair."
Ralph curses. "Well this is unexpected. I don't suppose you two have ever met an Inquisitor before?"

>>10684078
Well... no, no we haven't?

>>10684078
I would suggest getting a bit cleaned up, but we only have a few minutes right?
Adjust uniform, stand ready.

>>10684078
"No, is there anything I should know about protocol?"

wear mask at all time don't let him see your fear

>>10684200
This. Also plan on not speaking unless spoken to and keeping answers short unless asked for further detail.

(I'm so fucking happy my mission got cancelled today. I can get my fix!)

>>10684167
>>10684192
>>10684200
>>10684328
You are, understandably, freaked out. You ask about Protocol as you hastily buckle on your weapon's belt and adjust your greatcoat, having discarded both while you were working. Emmie hastily dons her mask and does likewise, picking a piece of lint off your shoulder. You try to get your mask on, but you can get it to fit right so you leave it on your belt.
"Not that I know of, but I've only ever met this guy once. Try to relax and NOT think about the fact that he has the power to turn your home planet into glass. Oh and... don't say anything about the his ba-" Ralph is cut off as klaxons sound and lights flash above the airlock. The Airlock's Machine Spirit's voice beeps a few times and warns you to clear the area, and that the airlock will be opening shortly. The ship shutters and you hear a clunk as something attaches to the outside.
The Airlock hisses open and immediately two well armored women point their weapons at the three of you. "Remove your weapons and step to the side of the wall!" They appear to be toting Hellguns and have Carparace armor. They have the Inquisitorial insignia on their helmets and chest-pieces.

put the purity seal on your coat

Do has they say. Don't want to get shot down now.

>>10684387
>>10684341
And make sure not to eyeball them! That would be the last thing we need, some space Feminist shooting us down for staring at her chest.

>>10684341
Do so don't want to get killed.

Also OP did some extended research on blanks and pariahs.
Apparently Blanks not only neutralize psyker powers but also the power of a pariah as well. Just thought you'd like to know.

>>10684341
Do as they say. Glance at Ralph to see if this is expected.

Make this face the whole time and no other face.

can we get a bit more explanation on our null powers ?
how powerful of nulls are we ?

>>10684387
>>10684407
>>10684410
>>10684422
You very carefully, and very slowly, remove your weapons belt and, at the women's urging, shrug off your coat. You have to give Emmie a comforting smile before she removes her mask though. Ralph just sighs and takes off his pistol belt. He also removes a knife from the small of his back that is longer then your bayonet. The three of you walk to the wall and place your hands against it. A third woman leaves the airlock and, the first two still pointing their Hellguns at you, using a strange devise scans the three of you.
After a few moments the third woman, whom you have not gotten a good look at, nods. The other two stand at attention and hold their weapons to port, but you have no doubt they can be brought back up quickly.
"The three of you may now turn. Hello Ralph, you are looking well. And you two must be Niel and Emmi?" Before you stands an old man. He is hunched over a cane, and you can't see a single hair on his head. His eyes glow blue and must be augmetic, and you smell Iho smoke in the air. The large red stylized I hangs from around his neck on a gold chain, but the rest of the man is hidden in robes. "How do you do?"

>>10684457
make this face and greet the guy

>>10684560
He's still pimpin', I see.

Nod your head, then see how the event unfolds while keeping an eye on the guards.

"Fine, sir, and yourself?"

>>10684607
Surrounded by Bitches and in a position of almost supreme power.
Living the Life!

5$ says that there's a sword in the cane or a gun.

>>10684560
Great how are you? or should I say who are you?

>>10684502
nulls or pariahs on there own have the power to be feared and have a field that reverse warp energy back on itself. However the downside to there power, is with out becoming a Culuxes Assasin or a Necron Pariah. For the most part they will just be hated instead off having a "shit yourself with fear" aura and can only truly harm a psyker if they share the same room for a long time. However that's just basic knowledge, the thing is most pariahs aren't aware of the fact they are one, so theoretically they may be able to access there powers similar to the manner a psyker can.

>>10684658
I know what a null IS, but what is our null strenght ?

>>10684687
I'd assume the standard aura of fear and anti-warp wave length.

>>10684457
>>10684591
>>10684624
>>10684613
>>10684658
You've never met an Inquisitor before and Ralph's words start to ring in your head. "Try to relax and NOT think about the fact that he has the power to turn your home planet into glass." You attempt a smile, but with your nerves as frayed as they are the results are... strange. Emmie shudders and turns bright red at the sight of your face and one of the guards, whom you now suppose are Stortroopers, suppresses a giggle. Assuring him that you are fine, you ask after his own well being.
"Well, some Eldar Pirates were getting uppity not too far from here, but the virus bomb should have settled them down... and killed them. Now, my old feet are tired, let us retire to a more suitable location for conversation while my crew loads these packages." He gestures for the three of you to lead the way, and his guards fall into step behind him.

>>10684687
>>10684708
We could probably ask the Inquisitor. He knew about us and could probably tell us.

>>10684746
Sounds pleasant, hope he doesn't have any psychic power or a inquisitor accidentally dieing because of you uncontrollable power would look bad on your rap sheet.

>>10684746
Apparently he's of the Ordo Xenos?

>>10684687
It seems to be Pariah (Omega?) level for us. Emmie just seems to be a regular Null though, or perhaps even a weak null seeing as she does not actively cancel powers, just isn't effected by them.

>>10684797
Or he just happened to have a run in but that sounds likel- is a Tau quest crossover possible?

>>10684811
Emmie is a Blank
Blanks are generally don't have a level.
The way they work is any warp based attacks (whether pariah or psyker) fizzle and die with in there aura. They also have a bad effect on the mental health of a psyker.

We won't know the extent of our power until we try it out, however we can probably thank Emmie and her null field for preventing us from being hated.

Niel's last name should be Mercer and his middle name Alex.

Given the post rate it seems like there is only 5 people in here including myself.

I'm gonna get some lunch. Please don't let it die.

Follow behind while staying close to Emmie.

>>10684883
But blanks are just people with the pariah gene. It is one of several names, others being null, pariah, or any number of other epithets meaning "empty" or "outcast". They don't cancel other nulls. That's like saying a psyker cancels out other psykers. The most powerful nulls are generally referred to as pariahs and are taken by the Necrons to make "Pariahs" (nobody ever said they were creative) or the Culexus to make assassins. With the advanced tech and null-enhancing modifications the super-powerful pariahs are then transformed into the batshit brickshitting level of terror that can make anyone feel it and drive Eldar insane simply by being within the same general area.

Quit fussing over the little details and enjoy the story

>>10684983
No there is a difference between a blank and a pariah.

Ralph takes the lot of you to the Galley, saying it has the best seats on the ship. As you all settle, the Inquisitor steeples his hands and looks at you and Emmie. "Now, I feel is is safe to assume the two of you might have some questions for me. Oh, and Semele, a cup of tea please?" One of the Guards, who's hair appears to be dark black with streaks of blue, moves foreword and starts moving about the Galley, making a pot of tea.
And so you ask about being a Pariah, and Emmie being a null, and how you were found.
His brow furrows. "Pariah? This is why I hate messengers. They always muddle things. It's like that game the juvies play, where they pass a message ear to ear? It always comes out completely different. No Niel, you are merely an extremely powerful Blank, not quite the level of what we typically call a Pariah. Your mere presence cancels out Warpcraft. And you also have an adverse effect on Psykers. I suspect if anyone more powerful then Ms. Drake was around you, they would experience more then a mere nosebleed. Emmie, on the other hand, is relatively weak. Her own field of effect extends to no farther then herself. She would have to be touching a Psyker to cancel out any of their abilities. Now, I believe the confusion stemmed from an idle speculation of mine. I voiced a theory that, maybe, the offspring of the two of you would be more likely to be a Pariah. As far as I know, no two blanks have ever produced offspring. Oh, thank you." Emmie's ears redden at the Inquisitor's words. Semele sets a steaming cup of tea before the Inquisitor. "Now then, perhaps you have further questions?"

>>10685002
The Lex has been wrong before. But even if it's 100% right and takes into account all the fluff everywhere then they are just different manifestations of the same thing. Pariahs are more powerful and localized and blanks have a large field of it that can protect others. It still wouldn't make sense for it to nullify other nullsouls.

Ask about finding Emmie's baby. And it seems he's implying that the reason Emmie was left with us is because of what he suggested about Niel and Emmie producing a Pariah baby.

>>10685011
Ask him why you haven't been inducted into the inquisition as some anti-chaos assassin. Why let what are two highly valuable anti-chaos weapons go free?

>>10685011
Nice save

>>10685064
>And it seems he's implying that the reason Emmie was left with us is because of what he suggested about Niel and Emmie producing a Pariah baby.
An interesting theory. but he couldn't have know we would like each other... And I'm only guessing that he couldn't MAKE us fuck.\
Or maybe he can?

>>10685083
Probably because we aren't actually /that/ powerful.

>>10685091
Or maybe he used the algorithm from eHarmony

>>10685002
>Still, a few Pariahs survive to become servants of the Imperium and are often used as shields against the warp by Inquisitors

This implies that both have the null aura and the rest of the article implies that Pariahs are more powerful than Blanks. You lose, good day sir.

>>10685011
"Well, yeah, does that mean we're theorically sterile ? Also, can we manipulate our powers and shoot, like, null-lazers or some cool shit like that ?"

>>10685091
>>10685106

Or you know...it's the Inquisition.

ASK ABOUT BABY! COULD BE ARE ONLY CHANCE!

Niel should grow a mustache.

All this begs the question why someone who can destroy planets and has theoretically unlimited authority is sitting down with us over tea.

>>10685064
>>10685083
>>10685112

Ask these.

The Inquisitor nods. "Those are all very good questions. OH! But where ARE my Manners? I had COMPLETELY forgotten to introduce myself! I am Inquisitor Skimmer, of the Ordos Xenos." He adds a little honey to his tea and takes a sip. "Let's see... First, why haven't you been recruited into the Inquisition yet... Well, as I said before, Emmie is not very strong, as Blanks go. Though still a potent weapon, needing physical contact limits her uses. They can still feel her for what she is before entering her field of effect. As for yourself... well you just hadn't been found yet. There are quite a few people in the Imperium you know. You only came to my attention by accident. As for your other questions, no, you are not sterile. Though good luck finding many women who would be willing to stay with you for any extended time, other Blanks excluded. And no, I don't believe that you can focus your abilities like that... At least as far as I know. Psykers are not exactly my field of study."
He leans back as you ask about Emmie's baby. "Interesting... are you sure you wish to know? What if the boy is happy, or at least as happy as Kriegers can get? If you truly wish to know, I will have some of my agents look into it, though it may take some time."

>>10685275
"Better to know that he's happy than to ponder his fate."

Ask him what he plans to do about us now.

>>10685275
See Emmies reaction and let her okay it.

Then ask him what happens now?
Surely it is your duty as a Inquisitor to report a Blank of my supposed level.

>>10685275
I can;t really tell what kind of Inquisitor we're dealing with. I mean, he seams like a friendly Old Gentleman, but he used a Virus Bomb to wipe out some Eldar Pirates. Isn't that overkill? Aren't virus bombs normally used during Extermanatus?

inb4 you'r the chosen one

>>10685340
Or to kill the crew of ships.

>>10685340
If you virus bomb them the tech will be undamaged and the bodies relatively intact. Seems like a Ordo Xenos thing to do

>>10685307
>>10685327
>>10685312
You look over to Emmie, who nods her head. "Yes, yes I do want to know. It's... it's something I've wanted for a very long time now."
Inquisitor Skimmer thinks for a minute then smiles, his teeth are whiter then pearls. "I think that can be arranged." His smile turns into a mere grin when you ask about your future. "Well now... that depends. I find that people are far more willing to be helpful when they wish to be helpful. I will find Emmie's son if you agree to help me when I have need of you. I am not a cruel man, and you will find that I can find you when I need to. It is hard to lose the Inquisition. And I would prefer if you stayed aboard the Blazing Profits. Having a Blank on my staff could make things... complicated. I have several Psykers on my permanent staff you see." He takes another long sip of tea. "However, if you refuse my offer then I will leave, you will be left at the next port with all the wages due to you, and you will never see me again. You will also never see Emmie's son or receive any help finding him. You will also be constantly monitored by the Inquisition, for security reasons. But I can swear to you that you will never be harmed by me, any of those working for myself, or the Ordos Xenos. I will not, however, be able to protect you should any Inquisitor of the other two Ordos happen upon you."

>>10685503
So... he all but has our balls in a vice...
Pretty much every Inquisitor then?

>>10685503
Accept on the condition, that the protection extends to Emmie.

>>10685503
He makes this seem very appealing, but it would be nice to know what sort of tasks would be required. If it's shielding squads from Eldar mental influence and hefting a lasgun in support while we're at it, well that's fine. If it's bludgeoning Eldar babies to death, well... we might need to discuss specifics.

>>10685582
>If it's bludgeoning Eldar babies to death, well... we might need to discuss specifics.
Sounding kinda HERETICAL ther citizen!
SUFFER NOT THE XENO TO LIVE!

Cultist chan should make a annoying cameo for shits and giggles.

>>10685582
"Well... you will need to do whatever I need you to do. There are many situations were a Blank would be most convenient. Anything from holding an Eldar Farseer's powers at bay to stopping a demon. I may be of the Ordos Xenos, but unfortunately I have run into Chaos Cults and witches from time to time."
The Inquisitor raises a non-existent eyebrow as you ask about Emmi's protection. "Did I not say that I was interested in seeing your offspring? Now, it appears that my crew has finished loading the shipment, so I must now take my leave." Standing up, his two female Guards take up position beside him and the trio begins to move down the hall.
Ralph sits at the counter, his gaze sweeps the two of you. "Well... damn. I wish I had a smoke."

>>10685691
We... never actuality said yes but... somehow we did, didn't we?
I like Inquisitor Skimmer. What trope would describe him best?

We should dye Ralph's hair pink when he sleeps and then blame it on the warp.

>>10685710
Oh dear. If we don't solve it tonight I'll trawl TVtropes and see if I can't find the answer.

>>10685710
I'm... not sure? He's Gentlemanly... but seems ruthless. I'd hate to go up AGAINST him, that's for sure.

>>10685735
When I picture Ralph I picture a big black dude with a shaved head myself.

>>10685691
Well tonight was informative... Ask Ralph what else needs to be done today?

Well this seems as good a place as any to end for tonight. Incidentally, sup/tg/ is back. Archived threads:
