We have visited High Sector Lord Larion Ursus, to whom we have decided to swear our allegiance. A true warrior is not the one who is free, but the one who bears the burden of duty to his master. We were also lucky to meet Leutenant Gaius of Ultramarines, who has arrived to Tachion Primaris in search of allies for his Chapter. We have received gifts from them and parted on good relations. Also Ceiron, Vindicare assassin in our service, has left because we had no use for him. At the moment we are in the orbit of Mormark, our homeworld.

I seem to recall that the AdMech picked up some STCs for possible colony improvements on Varda from that ship. Can we ask them if they have any technology that would help alleviate the food problem in the sector such as hydroponics?

I seem to recall that the AdMech picked up some STCs for possible colony improvements on Varda from that ship. Can we ask them if they have any technology that would help alleviate the food problem in the sector such as hydroponics?
Nestorian Admech indeed has a wide range of various technologies that could transform Varda into an Agri-world, but such investment would cost a lot and require a lot of time. However once it's finished, it would both bring us wealth and help the Sector.

>Also our wealth is a little low. Does Duke Glemont have any prospects?
I believe that you have fired him back on Tachion Primaris and now his position is filled by Averon Birg( young finance adept looking for a chance to prove himself, inexperienced, but very intelligent) and you've also hired Kvei Lohar (ex-colonial governor, he claims that he was relieved of his duties because of intrigues. Seems like a resourcefu man used to improvisation and leading) - he'll be responsible for development on Varda.

>>22434525

>The prisoners should have little in the way of heavy armament, so try and reduce collateral damage as much as possible, avoid explosives etc.
>Unless of course the prisoners have gotten their hands on any armoured vehicles, if they are encountered you have free reign on any hardware you deem necessary to defeat it.

To Harmantos:
>Hello Sergeant. It has come to my attention that the Ice Wraiths have been handling shipments of people, hauled in here in crates, and taken away, no doubt to be used in some kind of ritual of yours. Tell me, what have you been doing with them?

>>22434897
For now there are no news from either of the captains, but Birg approaches us and offers a few choices where we could try earning some money:
A) Investing 30 wealth in new manufactorums that are being rebuilt in Kanihirium on Mormark. This has 75% chance of earning us 50 wealth next year.
B) Loan our money to the Merchant League. They would pay us (2+d10)% yearly interest. (minimum 10 wealth, minimum 5 years)
C) Go to Dirr and buy a lot of slaves, they are cheap now because of a major war that just ended there and try selling them somewhere else.

>>22435077
My vote is for investment A

>>22435195
Gonna second

Rolled 39

>>22435077
Is there any reason we couldn't do A but also loan a little money in B?

Also can you clarify option B a little? I am assuming that we get back the original investment at the end of 5 years in addition to what we loaned? If so we would gain anywhere from 15% to 60% (3% to 12% per year) on our investment. Not a lot but a nice safe investment.

>>22435294
sorry left dice on (unless you want to count it because it is a good roll >.>)

>>22435294
When you put it like that then option B is pretty good.....

I'd say loan 20 wealth to the Merchant league for 5 years then.

Leutenant Kronos has more fire than most in him, he'd be a damn good Chaplain, however losing such an efficient Leutenant would be a loss to the Chapter.
===
Another choice could be Clarus, who once tried and failed to become Chaplain. However he's a very bitter marine and he claims that Emperor speaks through him. As he has no psychic powers, it can only by assumed, that he's mad.
===
Finally, there's brother Laptus, a marine known for his selflessness and courage, however he is quite young.
===
Another way to prepare suitable character to become Chaplain, we should train them, by sending to Academia in Tombstone.

>>22435294
Your assumption is correct, option B includes guaranteed return of original investment + interest. Option A can earn you orginal investment of 30+20W.

So, which do you choose?

File: 1357503073301.jpg-(7 KB, 265x190, both.jpg)

>>22435377
do we have to choose or can we do both A and B?

>>22435077
Also if anyone was interested the math for option A is:
.75*50 + .25*(-30) = 30W expectation value

Statistically you gain 30W on average every time you choose this option but that doesn't help us if we roll above 75.

>>22435377
I'd rather not go for Kronos as I dont want the leader of a cult to be a Chaplan, and Clarus is.....Clarus.....

I like Laptus, zeal of youth is good.

>>22435400
You can do both, if you wish.

>Greetings again Inquisitor. It has recently come to our attention that the rogue trader known as Dercius D'anger is suspected of being a traitor and heretic. We arranged for him to have a meeting with our brothers in the Silent Guardians chapter. They have presumably taken care of the problem because we have not heard from him for some time. We intend to seize any of his assets we can get our hands on. It would be convenient if, in your function as an Inquisitor, you gave us legal authority over all his assets to smooth out any wrinkles in the process. We would of course split a percentage with you and it would likely give you promising new leads on other smuggling and heretical activities.
