I think (THINK) we should message Governor Ursus with the information we've learned about the Triarchy and their meddling in Sector Deus, we can let him provide Kerr with the necessary funds to do his spy thing, then once Kerr returns and reports, we recommend to Ursus a full exterminatus of Kruun because their nuclear missiles would destroy Imperial Forces sent to liberate it as well as making the planet uninhabitable anyway.

Then we go shitkick (hopefully) the Triarchy with the IG and IN.

Opinions?

New to the quest. What is the most dangerous problem to Sector Deus at the moment? What can we buy for 176 million thrones?

Also moar investment options.

Also ask one of the Mormarkian mining conglomerates if they'd like to set up a Gold Mine on Varda, they can exploit our resources in return for a percentage of their profits.

>>26116254
Assign Void Squad a new training assessment with the best marksman we currently have. (I believe it's brother airon, but correct me if I'm wrong.)
Void squad is to be split up into groups of 2s, each pair should be able to match Brother Airon's (Or the better Tactical Marine's) score in training.
They're also to be kept under watch of their normal protector.

Unfortunately Alexander Kerr is about to leave Sector Deus for Corgus Sector, so he won't be able to help you out, but instead he suggested his friend - Kaynos Belladon, who is known for his daring attitude and talent for exploration beyond Imperial borders.

Dossier entry:
http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/Belladon_Dynasty

Triarchy is a stellar empire, and it is quite big, your strategic mind tells you, that if you are preparing for an open war against it, you should first make sure that you'll win it.

>>26116493
1 million thrones = 1 wealth, it is worth enough to prepare 1 scout marine.

regarding threats - they are many, but you can take a look at wiki.

>Triarchy is a stellar empire, and it is quite big, your strategic mind tells you, that if you are preparing for an open war against it, you should first make sure that you'll win it.

That's why we need the support of the IG and IN of the sector. I'm sure they have people far more experienced at waging total war than us.

>>26116493

Some little group of former imperial fringe worlds has been found to be instigating and supplying a rebellion upon an Imperial world (Kruun).

A faction of the Ministorum is planning some kind of massive move. Suspected to be against the Chapter.

Oh, and a possible nurgle cult upon an agri world was ignored years ago because the agri world is now the primary one of the sector. [after the chapter allowed the near-destruction of the formerly primary one, Prothera]

Do we have the numbers and the gumption to do it?
Further, I do not feel the Astartes should be spending time doing things that are the navy's job.
I personally feel that investigating the Dark Sister is a valued use of our time and resources. Securing the hulk itself is a boon all it's own, as is scrubbing out vile traitors to all that is Good and Holy.

I think both Kvei Lohar (or a representative of him if he wishes to remain on Varda) and Captain Macedon, the level-headed commander of the Space Marines garrisoning Varda, would be best.

It is indeed possible. However bear in mind that there is no open war between Styrian Triarchy and Imperium at the moment - neither is sure of who would bleed more if the fight would break out. Regarding Dark Sister - hulk appears in real space every couple of years, you should check whether it's there at the moment. Alternatively, you could try to 'fish' it out of the warp with a few powerful psykers.

A ship Captain was hired to deliver a decoy box to a station. Revenents infiltrated the ship, hoping to then infiltrate the target station.

The Captain was told nothing of the plan, other than 'deliver this box that isn't from this Chapter to Station X' by a representative of the Chapter. (instead of say, someone else)

Turns out the Captain chosen was a pirate, as well.

No word on the Revenants or the Captain for a while.

Lieutenant Kronos decides to take decisive actions and leads his brothers, indomitable Deathwishers, through the crowd, clubbing rioters with their bolters, roaring on them with his amplified voice and spreading fear of the Emperor left and right. By the end of the day riots in the Capital were over with less than 30 casualties and a few thousand wounded. When rioters in other cities heard that Space Marines supported planetary governor, gradually rioting ceased. Imperial beaurocrats are giving you thanks from Eliam Belisarius, planetary governor of Templos, who is too old and sick to thank you himself. You can either accept their gift of 10 wealth or better have their gratitude for a time when you'll need it.

Rolling for Copernicon's efforts.

Dark Sister Assault Plan, scan the hulk for a viabley undefended section, we board there with Brethorius, 4 Terminators and 20 Veterans via Thunderhawk, and once we establish a defend-able beachhead move in the rest of the 1st Company, along with the 7th company (their jump packs will help with moving around larger spaces (cargo bays and such-like), leave the 5th company in reserve aboard the Aspera, ready to deploy if needed.

As for special characters, I reckon we should move in both our Librarians (Trianon and Damokleon), Chaplain Tempestos, our forgemasster Seran for looking at shiny archeotech, and Master Apothecary Klementhos for shiny medical archeotech + specialist healing.

Once a nice open beachhead has been established, turn it into a basecamp, with available space for thunderhawks to shuttle reinforcements and supplies, good defensive barricades set up around all openings to it. We will move out in squads and search forth from the basecamp, sweeping the surrounding areas meticulously before moving furher on, I don't want any squad more than 5 minutes away from another at any point. Klementhos and Seran will remain at the basecamp, along with a defensive contingent of Veterans, tending to wounded and looking at archeotech we return respectively, or, if required, ready to go out and assist a squad who have discovered something of interest unable to be return to the basecamp.

+1 xp for this anon for good thinking. There has indeed been a change to Dark Sister since you last seen it.

It is good to feel the rumble of Thunderhawk under your feet after almost two years of inactivity again. Brethorius stands by your side as you open the vox channel:
>Terminators?
>Heavy and ready, milord. Ready to breach. Chaplain Tempestos out.
>Squad Alpha?
>Trianon here. Squad Alpha is prepared to show their best.
>Good. Squad Beta?
>Damokleon reporting in. Squad Beta is on standby.
>Ave Imperator then. Pilots, initiate boarding action.
One by one your craft birds fly past the hangar gates and approach massive pile of astro-trash and broken ships that have landed on it over the ages, carried by the mysterious winds of the warp. Dark Sister looks as intimidating as the last time you've seen it. That was a good day, you've met Adriel. But that was a bad day too - you've lost Wrath of Corax, relic blade that has been passed down from your Progenitors, Raven Guard, to you. You clench your teeth at the memory, but then pilot-servitor reports:
>Landing in 5, 4, 3, 2...
His last words are drowned by metalic clang when the landing gates open and your brothers spill out into the belly of the old space hulk.
>Alpha Squad here, our sector is clear.
>Beta Squad, nothing in our sights either. Damokleon is doing psychic scanning.
Brethorius turns to you:

How many marines do you want to land on the space hulk? There are four entrances/exits from the beach head which you have established in a millenia-old abandoned hangar.

Some details:
+Comms are poor/very poor
+Confined/urban environment
+Plenty of crawlspaces and maze-like corridors

Your first phase of exploration seems to be quiet and safe.
+Squad Beta found a cashe of holo-pictures from M37, they are worth 4 wealth.
+Trianon reports that there are living things on this ship, but further to the east.
+Seran claims that the part of the hulk in which you are at the moment once was an Imperial Cruiser. He thinks it was built sometime in M34, but will confirm once he has more details.
+Terminators have found frozen greenskin near the entrance to the void. He seems to have died from a boltshell to the chest. It is unclear when did he die. Klementhos is running tests.

You've spent 2 hours inside the hulk. 10% explored.

Are we in what would be an Imperial Cruiser's lighter bay or a broadside landing bay?

We should be able to instantly tell due to size/things in it, and it very much determines how we act from here.

It's hard to say, but you believe that rocky formation is all warped with tunnels and passages, so you'll probably be able to reach other ships without going through the void. If you would choose to go through the surface of the hulk, please bear in mind, that it's very dangerous because of the flying debris, unstable surfaces, etc.

Seran believes, that it is very likely that Dark Sister is jumping in and out of the warp because of something that holds it here, possibly an ancient malfunctioning warp drive.

As you delve deeper into the ancient formation of rock and metal, Aspera Dominus sends data from it's scanner to Seran's auspex, giving him best available maps and possible locations of energy sources.
>Emperor thrice-damned magnetic fields, these energy waves are bouncing around here like mad... Well, but I think I know where we are going. My data shows energy spikes from and area about 0.3km from here, we should be there within an hour if everything is alright.
You follow Seran, going with him through the ancient tunnels. As disturbing as it might seem to you, only a few of them seem to be of natural origin, the rest were either mined or caved in with explosives. Suddenly, your psychic senses come alive. As if through smoke, you feel dark presence somewhere nearby. But you know that you are safe, because you have not yet been detected. Maybe it's luck, or maybe Emperor truly watches over you. but it seems you'll have your chance for revenge. You turn to Seran and spit out an order:
>Warn all units. We have a sorcerer to deal with. Ashkenor the Wrathbringer is here.
