    You are Lyra K. Feddel. You are a techpriestess designated for repairs in bases and on complex machinery. You've got very strange luck, but you're still alive and able to complete your mission.

    Maybe.

    A Tzeenchian half-a-Daemon fucks everyone's shit up. Marines die. The first Marine you've ever met has a leg ripped off and is thrown aside. Orks fade into the background, because this is zoggin' too much, but there's still a few hangin' around. Probably.

    The Daemon has had an arm removed and is pissed. The source of it's binding in the Materium is the perverted Dukta- silvery tape marked now with chaos runes.

    >i
    You have: Your lasrifle and pistol, both from the late Alloysius. You have field rations. You have your Lucky Mechanus Charm (which offers much strength against the daemon). You have some armor from a dead cultist. You have access to a control panel in the mess-hall, which controls the HVAC, PA, Sprinkler, Locks. You have a shattered eye-lens and a rattled mind.

    You have ever-faithful Peg-Leg, an aid servitor turned sidekick. He is unarmed, but outfitted with various tools, including a micro-welder.

    You have a few Marines of the Imperial Castellans. A precious few, including a single Apothecary.

    I believe I left off in the last thread saying "I don't fucking know what to do, beyond praying at it more". I stand by my words even now.

    I suppose that if we're feeling exceptionally bold, we might attempt to actually melee the demon with our Mechanicus Charm, but considering how easily it's tearing through the marines...

    Make water happen.
    Seriously, if it's duct tape that someone wrote on, wash the shit off.
    Instruct marines to frag the fuck outta it when it's proper drenched.
    Have peg-leg pull back, he won't even make a decent distraction, so why use him?

    You activate the sprinklers again, reasoning that the water will do SOME good.

    The daemon begins to cackle out another laugh that is harshly cut off when the Sergeant slaps off half it's face with his Power Fist, sending jawbones and a rain of resistors flying everywhere, the Dukta on its face slipping off easily.

    It screams now, and slams the rest of it's head into Sarge, sending the Marine flying into a wall. The Apothecary rushes to his side, leaving little more than some corpses, water, and Peg-Leg between you and it.

    >aquire Powerfist

    There's a few on the ground where the Daemon has snipped them from Marine arms. You will have to remove the arms first.

    The daemon lurches forward, heading towards you at a speed that doesn't seem like it should be possible for a less-than-half daemon with weakening bindings. It hisses at you through it's ruined beak- you can't understand what it's trying to say. All you know is that it /hates/ you beyond all imagining.

    It's close enough to reach you!

    Speaking of rolls:

    The daemon screeches, and slaps at Peg-Leg, your most faithful ally! He goes down in a heap, distorted code blurting out a precise litany of his sudden injuries.

    >RIP AND PURGE
    You continue to bullrush the daemon, roaring in the biggest voice you can manage on your vox- outright bellowing admonishments in the most holy variation of Binaric you know, punching at it's flesh with your fists, pulling at the corrupted Dukta- burning your hands as you do so. It hurts, but you ignore it. This daemon must be BANISHED- you find yourself reciting an old prayer you only half-remember learning in the Schola for your trades:

    "O God of machines and Lord of metal, Creator of the fiery ranks, and Fashioner of the fleshless spirits, the Artisan of heavenly things and those under the heavens, Whom no man has seen, nor is able to see, Whom all creation fears: Into the dark depths of The Warp You hurled the son who had become proud, and who, because of his disobedient service, was cast down from the height into the Warp, as well as the allies that fell away with him, all having become evil daemons-"

    The Astartes can't help but watch. A weak cheer comes from the Marine you met first in this forsaken place- he's still alive, thank the Omnissiah!

    You hold the Lucky Mechanus Charm tight in your mechadendrite as you RIP AND TEAR at the Daemon, consumed by holy fury at the daemon, even as it tries to snap at your head, tearing your hood right off. It screeches, the Warp core inside quailing at your advance.

    "Grant that this- my exorcism being performed in Your awesome name, be terrible to the Betrayer and to all his allies who had fallen with him from the height of brightness. Drive this daemon into banishment, commanding him to depart hence, so that no harm might be worked against Your divine agents!"
    >> Captain AdMech guy 04/24/10(Sat)02:53 No.9393007
    >>9392987
    You rip at a particularly important-looking piece of Dukta, screaming back at the Daemon,

    "And, as You have commanded, let those who are blessed receive the strength to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all power of the Enemy! For manifested, hymned, and glorified with fear, by everything that has breath is Your most holy Name: of the Deus Mechanicus, and of the Omnissiah, and of the Machine Spirit, now and ever and into ages of ages!"

    You slam the Lucky Mechanicus Symbol into it's roiling Warp core, as the little charm chimes out it's holy code-

    "Amen!"

    The Daemon explodes. There's no other word for what happens. There's a massive billowing light- Warp and faith crashing into each other, the things that make up the daemon simply turning to ash at the maelstrom that forms.

    You are flung back from the resulting holy blast, your mechadendrite severed where it was in the light. You are also short an arm now as well- it was still grabbing the Daemon when you banished it. your optic is beyond repair, and you think that's your blood in your other eye.

    You lie there, against the wall, focusing on simply breathing. The Daemon is gone. At least, it is banished to the Warp, where it belongs.

    Your vox is still functional, thankfully.

    You hear footsteps before you feel an armored hand on your shoulder.

    "Honored Techpriestess-" It's the Sergeant, "-You have done an amazing thing. Brother Paolo, get over here! She's still alive!" Another cheer from the injured Marine. "I'll take care of Samail; he just needs some more painkillers-" The hand falls away, and more footsteps.

    You hear Peg-Leg's chirps of distress, and you manage a weak voice for his sake:

    "Honored Astartes... my. My servitor. He comes with."

    "Of course, Honored lady." If you could, you'd smile.

    So reassured, you slip into unconsciousness.

    ---
    You re-awaken in an unfamiliar ship's Med-bay. In contrast to the recent doom, gloom, and grimdark, this place is well-lit and warm. Icons of the Castellans accent the walls, and holy litanies of healing and repair are on plaques next to each bed. You spot the Astartes with the missing leg- he is deep asleep in another bed. You manage to turn your head and spot... Peg-Leg! He is repaired, and has been cleaned, thank the Omnissiah. He still carries your satchel of stuff.

    You close your eye and run a diagnostic. Your augmentic eye is totally shot, and your arm is simply gone. Oh well; you were going to replace it anyway. Your similarly gone mechadendrite is easily replaceable, and you don't spare it another thought.

    You're very, very tired. You feel more drained than a dead battery, weaker than a discharged capacitor, popped like a fuse. You're certain that if you were more awake you could manage more metaphors.

    Medi-skulls buzz around your head, attached to your singular arm with IV drips.

    Apparently, you're alive. You're not sure how long you've been out.

    One of the Mediskulls notice your moving about and chimes loudly.

    Soon enough, the Apothecary makes his way down the beds. Now that he's out of the armor, he seems... a /little/ less intimidating. He's still an Honored Astartes, after all. He's in the robes of a Medicae, more servo-skulls following in his wake, these holding tools or dragging charts or otherwise making themselves a nuisance.

    You manage a nod of welcome, immediately regretting it as your head spins. Oh, Omnissiah, you're soft as lead.

    "Techpriestess," he says as he takes a seat. His voice is warm and reassuring. "Good to see you're awake. It's been about a week. You're on the Lance of Destruction. Your ship is safe, and well along it's way to the Orbitals." He refers to the massive space-stations the Adeptus maintains in the sector.

    >INQUIRE:
    >Daemon
    He nods, taking a moment to brush off the Mediskulls attending to you after taking a readout from it.

    "The daemon is gone." There's a definite air of finality to his words. "You banished it with little more than a symbol and your own faith. It won't be back for centuries, according to our Brother-Librarians. You did well." He pats your arm gently, avoiding bruises you just now notice.

    >Cultists
    He leaves his hand on your arm as he continues, observing you for pain or other discomfort as he continues. "The cultists were worshiping the Daemon in the hope of... Something along the lines of joining it in a holy communion. You saw how that was going to turn out. They were helping it prepare unholy vessels for its power using the bodies of a few fallen Brothers it snatched from us from the battlefield, right under our noses." He scowls- it's a frightening sight. You make a mental note not to anger Brother-Medicae Paolo.

    >Orks
    "Oh, /them/. They showed up because we were there." He frowns at the memory. "We've been engaging that Waaugh for a few decades now; they keep bothering us in the middle of campaigns." He smiles again. "Not anymore. The daemonic incursion's broken the Waaugh's leadership. Another thing we will have to thank you for, in a roundabout sort of way."

    >Your original Ship
    "We're basically towing it as we travel to the nearest planet capable of repairing it. The ship's crippled- the pilot and his fellows were all killed in the wreck while attached. We're not sure if it'll recover." He sighs- he didn't like how the Adeptus piloted, hooked directly into the ship.

    "But all the passengers are safe. Worst to worst, they'll have to strip the whole directional apparatus out and replace it. Your things have been moved to the Lance-" He motions to a locker next to your bed, "And you will be staying here until you're healed up."

    "...And we figure out what, exactly, to do with you."

    >what do

    You're confused by his choice of words. "Honored Brother-Medicae, what do you mean?" You almost tremble at what he could mean.

    "You've survived an exceptional mess, Techpriestess Lyra. Your ship crashes into an ancient lab dragged out of the Warp by cultists. You manage to make it to us without dying to either the cultists, their foul rituals, the orks, or our own hands. You destroy a daemon's great plans, and manage to destroy and banish the same daemon with little training and exceptional skill. You do this when you are actually trained, according to this-" he taps what you realize must be a dossier on you- "For 'the repair of heavy machinery', of all things." He laughs at the situation, and you manage a weak chuckle. It IS a little absurd.

    "You are here now not only because our facilities are functional, but also because you must be observed for the taint of the Warp, and because you might be better purposed serving other ends than... repairing chapel organ-cogitators."

    You blink.

    "Better...purpose?"

    Brother-Medicae Paolo nods. "Better purpose. A number of our own have shown interest in taking you on as an aide or referring you onwards, to their allies and friends or whatever they want. Brother-Librarian Ferdinand wishes to at least speak to you- he shows great concern for your mind, and a great interest as well. Brother-Techpriest Alehandro has an obvious reason to take you on for his own purposes. Brother Adrian has mentioned some 'friends' of his that could use your talents- He doesn't want me to tell you, but they're Inquisition. The Adeptus Mechanicus has not returned our messages, but we expect they'll want you as well."

    He pauses, to let this all sink in. "However. /I/ have you first. You will stay here, and rest. Then we will repair your augmentations, together if possible. I can tell you this: Your new arm will be thrice-blessed against the daemon and the heretek; all my brothers have been clambering to be the first to offer their blessings." He smiles.

    "You're a lucky Techpriestess, Lyra."

    Stay with the Space Marines. They trust you, they care for you, and you know them. Don't go dancing off with those Inquisition fucks that are just as likely to stab you in the back as they are to stab a heretic. Bad news all around.

    Going back to AdMech is middle ground, but disappointing. It'd be like John McClane getting a desk job after killing Hans Gruber. It isn't terrible, but it ain't fuckin' right either.

    Point. Let's hang with the Imperial Castellans for the next couple centuries, then. They seem cool and could doubtless use a little more of the Machine God in their lives. And probably have the pull to get us all kinds of nifty Mechanicus stuff anyway, as long as they like us and think it's worth the effort.
    >> Captain AdMech guy 04/24/10(Sat)05:07 No.9394846
    It takes a few days more of bedrest before Brother-Medicae Paolo allows you to leave, Peg-Leg serving as your crutches (or, when you become especially tired, carrying you. He is nothing if not helpful). You toddle about the ship with virtual impunity, the Marines aboard being nothing less than stellar hosts.

    You often spend time with Brother Samail- the one who had his leg blown off- who turns out to be a fairly new member of the Castellans proper. He deeply appreciates your company and the unique point of view your upbringing within the Cult Mechanicus brings. You two end up fairly friendly with each other, and when the time comes, you aid Brother-Medicae Paolo and Brother-Techpriest Alehandro both in grafting his new leg on.

    You go through a series of interviews with Brother-Librarian Ferdinand, and discuss what you've seen and been through. You find him invaluable in coming to terms with Chaos and the foul powers it possesses.

    Brother-Techpriest Alehandro is something familiar in the strange territory of an Adeptus Astartes ship, and when not in the Med-bay, you often find yourself in his small Forge. There, you remake your arm, mechadendrite, and eye with his expert help.

    They are works of art, expertly inlaid with gold and silver prayers, and blessed against the Daemon, the Heretek, and the Xenos from practically everyone on the ship. They are so superior to your old ones, you're not sure how you got along with them.
    >> Captain AdMech guy 04/24/10(Sat)05:08 No.9394856
    >>9394846
    You make a short trip to your old ship after the surgeries, all inside still deep within hiber-sleep, where you personally dedicate your augments to the Machine God, imploring blessings from the ship itself. They are freely granted, and you formally transfer ownership of Peg-Leg to yourself.

    Peg-Leg is similarly blessed and warded by Brother-Techpriest Alehandro, his mechanical augmentations replaced and reinforced, his flesh-brain granted better capability. You find him a stalwart companion, ever-faithful, ever-loyal.

    When you feel you are fully healed, after nearly two months, all spent in the Warp, you go to Brother-Medicae Paolo with your own questions.

    "Brother Paolo," You start. You can't help but continue using titles.

    You've cornered him at his least busy in the evening- after he's made his last rounds before dinner, but after he's corralled all the medi-skulls that follow him around. You're in his office, and you take a seat after making the sign of the Aquila in welcome. You've gotten better at it.

    "What happens if I choose to stay?"

    He thinks this over for a few long seconds, chin in his hand, eyes closed, deep in thought.

    "Then you stay," he started, without moving. "You will be found a place you can be useful in the Castle Alhambra. You'll probably get called out with us when we move to strike at daemonic incursions. You'll also likely serve under the Fraters Astrotechnicus- Techmarines. Probably get your own forge; you've done us a great thing, Lyra." Brother Paolo was very informal, you'd learned; he was always good to go to with questions like this. "Even if you don't decide to work under them, you'd be next to them. We Castellans are big on organization."

    "It wouldn't be a bad life, really. Hard- you'd be a part of our Chapter, and that means helping supply us in the way you're best able. Would severely limit your contact with the Cult proper, if that matters, as well. Our home is fairly remote."

    He looks up from his musings. "Is that what you really want? Working with us, on our home in Alhambra, or in our ships like the Lance? You'll always have plenty work to do, even if it won't always be what you /want/ to work on."

    He fixes his steady gaze on you.

    IS this what you really want?

    You nod, setting your face into something more determined.

    "Yes. Yes I do. I don't think I could handle going back to the Adeptus Mechanicus, not when I've gotten spoiled by you and the other Brothers," Brother Paolo smiles at the flattery, "Nor do I want to go to the Inquisition. Who knows what they want with me. I'm no Psyker, no matter how badly Brother Ferdinand wishes I was so."

    You sit up more, feeling more and more certain in your choice as you continue. "I want to stay. I want to keep doing what I'm doing. I've seen too much to give it up for anything less. I'd love to help forge ammunition, or whatever else needs it. Anything your chapter grants to me will always be in service. You've helped me as much as I've helped you."

    Brother Paolo nods. "Then let us get started on the paperwork... After dinner."

    ---

    You formally announce your decision at dinner with the brothers. They greet the news with great cheer; the fact that such a... a /hero/ chooses to live with them is heartening. There is merriment, followed by paperwork. Lots of it.

    You are formally ordained as a Magos Malleus in your own right by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Imperial Castellans grant you a modest forge close to the fotress-monastary of the Castle Alhambra itself. You soon find your niche in servitor creation and anti-daemon weaponry, and you are truly happy with your life. You count Adeptus Astartes as friends, and Inquisition as allies. You do have a habit of punching daemons to nonexistance, though.

    You are Lyra K. Feddel. You are a Magos Malleus, ally of the Imperial Castellans, supplier of anti-daemonic weaponry and expert on the subject of punching them back into the Immaterium. You've got very strange luck, but you're still alive and able to serve.
