Last night you worked on your Servoskull Wurgen late until you fell asleep. You treated such a piece of technology with a mix of respect, caution and mostly curiosity.

The first thing you did was inserting inside a cogitator that controlled its functions and recognized you as its owner. Since its cranial cavity was of a bigger size you were able to place more RAM and circuits inside before filling it all with sacred non-conducting and coolant oil. Its unusual cogitator didn’t necessarily mean that it was cleverer than the rest of servoskulls. It could just do more functions and do them faster. With everything installed sans the gravity engine you proceeded to awaken it.

While it is true that in most occasions the machine spirits are not manipulated some blank machines can be programmed with determined machine spirits. Most of them are animalistic in nature and are thus classified with the kind of creature they resembled most. There were rumors about some Datazoologist techpriests that searched for determined machine spirits around the Galaxy to fit their machines with or sell them for the biggest bidder.

Looking in the Database you saw basic stuff: Snake machine spirits for guns that need to be more silenced and easy to hide, Whale machine spirits for ships that need to be sturdy…It took you some long hours until you found a machine spirit that fitted what you wanted. It was a Lupine machine spirit used in some torpedoes; the spirits helped the torpedoes into tracking its objectives and were able to even turn in mid-path to some degree.

>>39934923
Placing such a potent machine spirit in this frame could turn dangerous. This Wolf spirit was really fierce and even vicious to some degree. With a shaky hand you grabbed the data transmission cable and placed it on the empty motherbase. A few moments later the download started and the skull’s cybernetic lenses begin to glow with a faint white-blue light. Since most Skitarii where outside of the ship and they were not using the different computers the net wasn’t congested and the download ended faster than expected. To make his presence aware from its vox caster a loud wolf howl sounded and soon expanded into the corridors and other areas. Wurgen was strong yes but it didn’t growl nor shut down after it, apparently it did accept you as its manipulator and owner.

It was interesting to see how most of the necessary machinery for creating a servoskull seemed to fits its frame or just needed small recalibrations for an optimal placement. The few things that didn’t correctly work were an incredibly challenge thought. One of them was the placement of the Grav Engine. Since this Skull was larger and more elongated a regular engine proved to problematic as it could barely lift it and its nose ended making it turning downsides and falling.

You could have placed two engines instead and twin link them but you were scared of the result. Its machine spirits might not be strong enough to work along with its cogitator and desync or even break completely. This would require a more radical solution; a strong servoskull needed an even stronger engine.

Once again you looked and rummaged around both the Cruiser’s and Station’s databases. Even if servoskulls were common and widely available across Imperial Space when it came to its engines most were pretty similar with nigh undetectable differences. This was a pretty logic thing, most skulls had the same shape and weight and the lesser the differences between its models the easier they would be to repair.

>>39934939
Without any possible option for what you seek you decided to take this issue personally and downloaded the blueprints for the best engine around. This time the speed was slower, there were some late birds wondering in the different chat rooms what that wolf howl was.

Since the speed was pretty slow you decided to distract yourself by looking thru those conversation, they made you desire to have kept your original eyes to be able to roll them, people were ignorant and most conversations wondered if there was a Zoo in the Space Station and the possibility of it sneaking inside was real. At the end most people started babbling nonsense and arguing saying that the wolves probably headed to the kitchen and if they should help the ratling cooks or just let them to die in there. Of course the second option was winning.

Once you had the blueprints on your mind you were able to increase its dimensions to fit it into your personal project. It also made it more energy draining but it wasn’t a problem in such an industrialized area.

Your clock marked about four ante meridian at this point and honestly, you were starting to feel tired. The last droplets of your energy were spent on forging and creating the bigger engine and installing it. As soon as you saw it floating into the air with its electric hissing and its glowing lights you couldn't avoid falling asleep.

>>39934952
The next morning you woke up with your back hurting and your spine metallically and painfully grinding as you finally stand up. Wurgen continues floating in front of you, growling lightly but still faithful it seems, on your feet lies the young Alaria, she probably came to you some hours before and ended falling asleep as she found waking you up an impossible task.

>Don’t wake her up. Continue working with the Wurgen Skull and regularly keep an eye on her.
>Wake her up, ask what she requires.
>Make your both servoskulls follow as you carry her on your arms and leave her resting on your bed. Then go to eat breakfast and check your inbox to see if there is something you have to do.
>Your body is in a bad shape, carry Alaria to your room and get yourself a good and plentiful breakfast, and then relax with a bath or napping the hours you have deprived yourself with.
>Carry Alaria into your room eat something and then privately look at the recording that Morti did yesterday and what all this “business” is about.
>Ask a Skitarii to carry her to your room and travel into the AdMech Spyre to check Nintar on the hospital.
>Juliannus seemed a little bit off after the Grave Exchange. Maybe now that you two have completed the ceremony and he respects you more he will be more open and tell you about it.
>Write in.

And then look at the recordings. Maybe while eating, actually.

>>39935118
I had planned mixing:
"Your body is in a bad shape..." with "Carry Alaria into your room eat something...." because they are pretty similar sans a few details.

It's gonna be this:

>Carry Alaria into your room eat something and then privately look at the recording that Morti did yesterday and what all this “business” is about while relaxing taking a bath.

>>39935149

Sounds good

>>39935149
Okay

>>39934972
>Carry Alaria into your room eat something and then privately look at the recording that Morti did yesterday and what all this “business” is about while relaxing taking a bath.

You grabbed the poor kid and slowly carried her all the way back from the Cruiser's Mechanicus Cathedral to your private room in the Inquisitress personal Mansion. It was a long walk but even if you were tired it ended being pretty nice. With your dendrites you managed to create some kind of seating for Alaria that securely held her against your back.

Your first servoskull Morti followed you close while your most recently created one stood waiting in your biometrically locked office.

Most corridors were empty and it looked kind of eerie. It's appearance wasn't abandoned nor decaying yet it looked empty and lifeless, as if a plague had suddenly killed most people on board...and that's what could have happened if you hadn't avoided it.

Honestly you didn't liked thinking on how many lives had you ended or saved so far, being a puppet was way easier than being a puppeteer.

Back in your room you still found a lot of the toys and dresses that the sister brought with their sleepovers. It was messy...in a wrong way. Most techpriests rooms are messy even to worrying levels but the idea of tools and screws mixed with fairytales and teddy bears looked odd and strange for you.

>>39935578

As you left and tucked her on your bed you streched and felt a shock of please crossing your spine and extending to your limbs. Next you slowly entered in the bathroom and kept it unlocked in case she got up and you were still bathing.

You filled the tube with warm water. It wasn't filled with electrolytes or was any kind of special water. Just clean and warm water. Even members of the Adeptus Mechanicus enjoyed the simplest pleasures from time to time. Still...you had to add an special galvanizing agent that tinted the water greenish and avoided it from rusting your bionics. Well, it was the closest thing to a normal bath that you could have access to after all.

Once the water level was high enough and its steam condensed into your lenses you proceeded to enter and relax while your servoskull floated over your head and played the movie in the wall as if it were a projector.

++MOVIE START++
The movie was grainy and had some dust specks that covered part of the recording, from time to time colors also looked to become more intense or become grayer from time to time. There even were sections that were completely black and white.

At the beginning of the movie the Mother and her two daughters are seen traveling inside a hovercar across a glass tunnel. Karelia is in the copilot seat and the two girls are on the back, pretty silent and serious. The driver is not seen with the exception of his silhouette.

Then there was a timejump and the trio appeared walking inside a great mansion, there was no sound, only a loud and repeating white noise.After another cut a woman in a pompous and noble looking dress appeared, she had a strange corset that had some machinery and lights on it, it was also notable that she had a really long grey hair that was kept out of the ground by three small servoskulls that were turned into hair brooches of some sort.

It was Karelia the one that started the conversation.

"We meet again, Nalasha."

>>39935593

"Yes we do. And once again we are four, not the same four as before thought..."

"I am here to speak about that. Rodan died."

"And thus...She is the only bond of blood that my dynasty keeps right? You have tainted this family Karelia."
When Nalasha said "She" she looked at Mellizune, she completely ignored Liwet at all times.

"I thought you were different, I tried to teach him that we aren't all monsters. He died defending her, she ended learning the lesson."

The tension was palpable to the point were Nalasha grabbed the handle of her sword and Karelia kept herself ready to get her mask on at any time.

"You have already seen your reflection Nalasha...do you want to see your true self again?"
She spitted on the ground and moved back.

"I know all the damage that I have caused you and your family. I was young and Naive, he and I were. I want to repay you with a Frigate, a personal army composed of fifty already trained warriors and the services of my daughter Liwet as your bodyguard...after she matriculates from the Schola and becomes a Sororitas."

This caught by surprise everybody except Karelia. Even you couldn't believe it. Did she really erased her mind and turned her into a warrior just to lend it as a present? If she ended turning into a Sororitas she would surely spend the rest of her life protecting a Planetary Governor that despises her...

>Continue watching until the end.
>Get out, clothe quickly and privately ask Karelia about this.
>Get out, clothe quickly and privately ask the Sisters about this.
>Write in

>>39935607
>Continue watching until the end.

>Continue watching until the end
OH my~

>>39935607
>Continue watching until the end.
You quickly grabbed your servoskull and moved it around until you reached your fridge and got something to eat, it was some kind of paste that you didn't even looked at, it might even been toothpaste for all you knew.

Once it was all gulped you returned to the now colder tub and continued looking at the recording.

++PLAY++

The next part of the footage was Liwet and her sister crying. It continued doing so for at least three minutes.

There was some conversation on the background and since recording a deal was her current mission the servoskull instinctively went towards there, after a while Karelia and Nalasha were visible again.

"She's already adopted as my own daughter and inscribed into the schola of Ecantor. I know she's a little bit older than the regular student but she will be a good asset...could you please...try to view her as your niece."

"Impossible...The Hermann family is tainted now. Rodan and I were the last pure descendants and with my womb barren and your taint this name will be contaminated from now on. Who knows what are the true origins of that girl, I will not risk further damaging this surname anymore. If she survives she will be my bodyguard but don't expect her to live anything but a live filled with sorrows and bullying from my part."

Karelia looked directly at the servoskull...she had made a mistake, her entire life seemed like a mistake to her now. After a regretful look she looked back at the Governor.

"What about the soldiers, will you accept them?"

>>39936074

"Well...I couldn't care less about your pitiful frigate or those lamentable warriors. As you already know each year the recruits that are about to graduate are taken to Heptium Cuatt to fight the xenos that live in there. If they manage to kill two Kroot barbarians they graduate.In some occasions private hunters or even external warriors like Skitarii or even Rogue Traders have been allowed to hunt too."

"I do yes, as well as I know that any person above twelve years of age and has a psyker attuned mind is taken too. How many of them do return?"

"In case of the about to be guardsman about one third...when it comes to the psyker children less than the five percent. What a shame your planet didn't had a similar culling...it helps controlling the population of your kind you know?"

In this occasion it was Nalasha the one that looked at the servoskull.

"I, Nalasha Herman declare a order that stipulates that this year the Heptium hunts will be anticipated and be started in one month instead of the usual date. This said, my word is law."

"What do you have in mind?"

"I don't trust you at all, not a bit. I will make my undergraduate warriors fight next to your newcomer soldiers. As you, your adepts, family and I watch and maybe even participate. I don't care if none of my guards graduate, as long as none of yours survives too then I am happy."

++FIN++

With this said the movie ended and the screen went black.

>Accept Liwet's departure and try to propose the governor if your army can participate too. It would be a great chance to train them.
>Accept Liwet's departure and accompany the Inquisitress and the Governor on seeing how the hunt goes.
>Accept Liwet's departure and don't go to the hunt. Spend the rest of the month working on your temple or your projects.
>Do not accept Liwet's departure. Try to propose the governor if your can participate too. Try to kill her, if she's dead Liwet won't have nobody to protect and she will return to all the family she knows.
>Do not accept Liwet's departure and accompany the Inquisitress and the Governor on seeing how the hunt goes. Try to kill her in the shadows.

>>39936097
Errrrm..... What are the results of a successful assassination of the governess? Who's next in line to take over? Karelia...?

>>39936097
>Talk to The inquisitor first before we make a decision

>>39936097
>Write in.
>Modify the records, only keep the soldier bit.

If that doesn't work, we could plant some of our heretek stuff in the office of ms. governor, then let the inquisitor promptly BLAM her

>>39936164
Actually, do
>>39936160
before attempting to erase evidence.

>>39936144
>What are the results of a successful assassination of the governess? Who's next in line to take over? Karelia...?
Karelia is too busy doing Inquisition's work and she's her sister-in-law so since there isn't any blood relationship there might be a problem with it. Mellizune is related to the Governor but she's way too young.There is also the chance of democracy but that could lead into civil war.

>>39936164
>Modify the records, only keep the soldier bit.
Can you please explain this a little bit more?

>We could plant some of our heretek stuff in the office of ms. governor, then let the inquisitor promptly BLAM her
And then we would have Karelia questioning us from where did we got the Heretech, besides she feels really guilty for Rodan's death, no matters how much does Karelia despise Nalasha, she doesn't wants to kill her.

>>39936097
>>Accept Liwet's de
>>39936160
Yeah, okay. Let's talk to her.

Should we go watch the hunt if only to have a chance to talk to the governess as well?

>>39936164
That's a bad idea.

>>39936245
Whoops, I accidentally left part of my first answer in.

>>39936242
I meant deleting the part where she offers up Liwet as bodyguard, while keeping the part where she promised men intact. But we should talk to Karelia before anyway.

And about planting heresy, I meant in secrecy obviously.

>>39936242
Well in that case...

I mean, the plan was always to have Liwet be taken in by the sisters somewhere so she'd have had to leave us for a while one way or another.

It's not implausible that we'd have an opportunity to evade her fate as the governess' bodyguard by the time she graduates.

Conversely, killing the governess just seems to make everything go to shit for everyone so that doesn't really seem to be a good option.

Thus
>Talk to The inquisitor first before we make a decision
And then probably
>Accept Liwet's departure and try to propose the governor if your army can participate too. It would be a great chance to train them.

>>39936308
Personally I'd work on that workshop in the meantime, but that's my opinion.

>>39936097
>Talk to The inquisitor first before we make a decision
>Accept Liwet's departure and try to propose the governor if your army can participate too. It would be a great chance to train them.

You clean yourself and after drying grab a clean robe and lock the doors with Alaria still sleeping inside before heading into Karelia's office.

As you are in the front door you feel scared, you barely understand human emotions and you had more than once heard that males felt the same way with women, to you an emotionally affected woman would be twofold strange and incomprehensible.

You are nothing but a warrior of the machine, why do you meddle with something you don't have control of? With only little more than a inch of distance between your knuckles and the heavily decorated door you felt a spike of panic and suddenly notice yourself as small as a mouse.

Shaking your head you brush it off as panic and without a thought end knocking on the door. Karelia lies on the other side and tries to act calmed, it is good that she has the mask, the other side surely shows a couple of almond shaped crying eyes.

"Greetings High Inquissitress...I have seen the recording..."

"Then you have to know that Liwet...that we surely wont see her in a long time, maybe forever."

Her hands were somewhat shaky, she noticed this and grabbed and sorted some papers that where on her desk to hide it.

>>39936524

"Yes. I want to propose something Inquisitress. I would grant the Skitarii temple of this Cruiser to participate. It would be an excellent opportunity for the Æterna Skitarii."

She seemed kind of apathetic and just answered with a weak shrug and a nod.

"The Governor hasn't still made public that this year the hunts will be sooner, go to the Admnisitratum Tower with your servoskull and show them the recording, they will immediately and secretly open the inscription procedures. Get this." She threw you her Inquisitorial Rosette. "This will speed up the times and the problems, besides it will also make all the procedures free. Thank me some other day, I'm tired now."

>Ask her something before leaving (Write in)
>Grab the Rosette, tell your Skitarii about the Hunt and go to inscribe them as soon as possible.
>Grab the Rosette, spend some hours scanning it to the last detail and secretly keep the data inside your brain in case you need to build one Rosette of your own in any time.
>Write in.

>>39936536
>Ask her something before leaving (Write in)
>"Inquisitress... From the recording I understand the governess to be a petty woman. It is possible that by the time Liwet has finished her training as a Sister the governess may no longer wish to detain her."

>>39936536
>"I hope the rest of your day fares better, inquisitress."
>Grab the Rosette, spend some hours scanning it to the last detail and secretly keep the data inside your brain in case you need to build one Rosette of your own in any time.

>>39936536
>Ask her something before leaving (Write in)
Ask how she feels about leaving Liwet with the governess.

>>39936624
>Ask how she feels about leaving Liwet with the governess.
I think that despite our inability to determine emotions we probably have an understanding of her feelings on the matter...

>>39936536
I'll back >>39936599 and >>39936624 and >>39936711

>>39936599
>>39936605

i want to suport both of these

>>39936536

You grabbed the Rosette and carefully kept it inside one of your pockets.

"May I ask how do you feel about leaving Liwet with the Governess?"

She grunted and surely rolled her eyes under her mask.

"I was a foolish woman. Nalasha always despised me because she tried to be mother so hard...she had three children, two sons and a daughter, they all died before being two years old. After that she stressed so much that her womb resented and became infertile after that she started becaming paranoid about having some psyker or mutant ancestor that was the cause of her disgrace. She is Rodan's only and older sister and he had always had her in great esteem, she was supposed to be the one that would carry the next generation of Hermanns on her belly after all."

Karelia ended removing her mask and revealing some red eyes that shinned against the light from all the tears that still covered them. She grabbed a bourbon bottle from a cabin of her desk and directly drank from the bottle, soon a heavy smell of cedar and alcohol filled my nostrils.

"Rodan grown up becoming extremely puritan because he faulted all her sister's problems to anybody that deviated from the typical perfect human, that included psykers, abhumans, people with bionics, voidfarers...Typical nobleblood stance, anything that happens is the pleb's fault."

Another gulp, this one was bigger.

"We meet in a case, and well...you also knew how intolerant he was. Thing is...that he was also cute, his rage against anything that wasn't loyal kind of turned me on...but how rude he was towards me, that was a real libidokiller. He didn't doubted insulting me time after time and even after saving his life his opinion towards me didn't flinched. After the problem was over and we had our last night together I decided to do one thing...for fun you know?~"

>>39937331

This time she looked at the expensive looking bottle and smashed it against a painting that looked even more expensive, then she grabbed another bottle from another cabin.

"As you might already know I forced him into my mental control and made him make love to me, he had no control but could still feel and see everything. Hell the universe is a big ass place I said to myself, I bet I will never see him ever again, lets say goodbye in the best way I can...By the Emperor how wrong was I."

She uncorked this second bottle, it seemed to be red wine of some sort.

"Guess who got pregnant? I did!"

She drank from the bottle, some of the content spilling from her lips and staining her clothing.

"I contacted him and of course he at first didn't wanted to take care of her. But he finally understood that the incoming baby was the rightful heiress of his family name. A few years later the young Melli started developing psyker powers like her Mommy. This was good because by the Warp, Rodan was a pretty neglecting father and I was the one that did everything. It seems that the experience were I ended...kind of raping him was pretty traumatizing for his psyche, maybe not for the sex itself but for being controlled by a psyker!"

She started guffawing and snorting.

"Aaaaaaaanyway. He was scared of her, can you believ it? Eh, I sometimes made him keep Melli and travel with him. She might maybe spend months of years without seeing one parent or the other but at least she still had two parents right?"

After drinking again from the bottle and almost choking she threw it infuriated and almost hit you.

"I thought that Nalasha would find some kind of family bond with Liwet as she isn't a psyker...As I said, I was foolish..."

>>39937342

You moved a step back, worrying that she might launch another bottle at you and have a better accuracy this time.

"Inquisitress... From the recording I understand the governess to be a petty woman. It is possible that by the time Liwet has finished her training as a Sister the governess may no longer wish to detain her." You said.

She gave a sigh that became so long that you for a second became worried if she had suddenly became asleep in her drunkenness situation.

"That's what I hope too...she might have a somewhat shady past but who doesn't?"

You couldn't agree more with her.

"I hope the rest of your day fares better, Inquisitress."

"I hope I don't have a hangover tomorrow." She snapped before resting on her chair and placing the mask on herself again, maybe to nap.

>>39937358

>Grab the Rosette, spend some hours scanning it to the last detail and secretly keep the data inside your brain in case you need to build one Rosette of your own in any time.

You return to your room and see a awakened Alaria questioning you what a Sister of Battle is. Apparently she also knows the fate of Liwet, probably told firsthand by her. You tried to cook her some easy to make meals but ended failing and at the end you ended calling one of the ratling cooks to bring to your room something tasty. After eating with her you told Alaria that you had to work and asked her to study for four hours and stay the rest of the time supporting the sisters, you had also granted her permission to have another sleepover on your room, her mother is drunkenly asleep after all.

The object proves to be a challenge to scan as it a symbol but has very specific measures and materials. It takes you almost the rest of the day to scan and transmit it into your database.

>>39937376

At late night you return to your room with the Wurgen Servoskull and find the three girls sleeping in your bed, there are a lot of tissues around, apparently the three of them had cried a lot. It will be another night for you in the bathtub...it was starting to feel comfy for you honestly.

In the morning you were woken up by the scream of Mellizune that had entered to pee and was scared after turning on the lights and seeing the flying Wolf Skull floating in the air, she ended peeing herself. She was a small child so there wasn't much you could do besides being sorry. As the other two girls were awakened you ended leaving your room to give them more liberty.

You had about a month before going to the planet and descending with your army to fight Kroot Xenos. THere was a lot of work to do.

I desperately want a metal cranium after that last incident. Our brain is our most important asset after all.

After that whilst we recooperate

seems like it has the potential to come in handy.

In general I think we should spend the next little while learning about the kroot and training our men to best counter them. We must do our inquisitress proud.

>>39937489
fick i meant amount

>>39937395

We'll inscribe them tomorrow.

If we do all this five days will pass. Some actions can be done more than once to get further effects, those are the Training and Investigation options.

So, should I go with those options in that order?

>>39937648
Yes looks fine to me

>>39937648
Sure. I'm good.
Except do we need a rosette copy right now? We'll be in a lot of trouble if we're found with it.

>>39937648
Sounds good. I wanna headbutt things with impunity.

>>39937765
I figure do it asap because we'll need to give it back once we're done with it.

>>39937782
But we have the knowledge to make one, we just don't need a copy right now. I figured we could do it when there's a need for it.

++29 DAYS LEFT++
>Modify your servoskull or yourself to become stronger.

The first thing you had to do was becoming stronger and deadlier, that for sure. You headed first into the Cathedral and logged into one of the empty terminals. The database of a space station like this one became linked with the ones in the ships that dock. The people on the ships can access their own database and the Station's Database, while the Station's servers could access to their own Data and the one stored in all the ships currently docked.

From this terminal the number of bionics available was pretty limited as it only showed the one of the Cruiser and the ones of the Station. If you wanted full access you would have to connect into the Station Servers and that with its Skitarii leader knocked out by your actions was something really improbable.

>Access to bionics.
>Access to servoskull upgrades.
>Access to weapon upgrades.

I gotta dash to the shops to buy sustenance but I really want to get that metal skull.

Just a warning. In have written so many bionics that It's going to be a massive wall of text. Fuck it I'm gonna upload it in a pastebin. Otherwise it would take about 12 messages or maybe more.

>>39937847
>Access to bionics.

>>39937927
Pastebin sounds good.

>>39937927
A pastebin is a good idea.

Have fun:

>Bionics
http://pastebin.com/44tLpKNW

Does any of you play Dark Heresy or any other 40k rpg? I am planning to collect all the bionics I have written so far and order them by the part of the body they occupy and maybe turn it all into a pdf that could work as a homebrew supplement.

Thoughts about it? I personally felt that the bionics section was pretty lacking in the Rogue Trader Core book.

>JAWFlamer
Nicknamed the Dragon for obvious reasons this flamer takes the place of your lower jaw and spits a load of chemical fire when you release it.It will take the place of the VOX Caster leaving you speechless by vocal means.

>Thermalaser Arms
Those arms don’t use cables and instead have laser beams that are calibrated with many lenses. These beams are able to transmit the power and movement information at the same time but they tend to overheat after a while. Two main models exist, one has a prism located in the palm and is able to release the heat in the form of a powerful laser beam when necessary, this quickly cools down the arms but paralyzes them for a couple of seconds while the lasers reset; releasing the laser isn’t always necessary, in situations where this would be harmful or dangerous there also exist the option of turning them down and losing control over them but making them get colder over time.

this is what i want

>>39938130
I think you've got a neat list of bionics (assuming it also includes items from previous bionics lists we've seen.)

>The kinetic Shotgun trigger,
> internal gyroscopes,
> mag hooks
all sound quite useful to me. The kinetic shotgun trigger would also allow us to have an ace in the hole that, if needed, would allow us to get the drop on someone, although we would be unable to ever bro fist someone else.

The internal gyroscopes would allow us to not lose balance as easily, which would be good in almost all circumstances.

The Mag Hooks are just flat out useful for either controlled descent (you'd be amazed how useful being able to abandon position can be, especially since it means we can pick a place of attack that can easily be overrun and then evac from it safely, or we can just use it to infiltrate somewhere.

>>39938130
If you're going to do that have some kind anon look over it first, you have quite a few typos in it, granted all of the fluff seems solid.

>>39938092
>Vox-Datacommand
>Vitalis Indicatio : all of them, we have enough eyes
>Metallic Alloy Cranium
>Internal Gyrostabilizers
>Mag-Hooks
>Vibrowrists
>Mag-Fingertips

these

>>39938267
Yeah, it would include all of them. I gotta admit that not every bionic is totally original tho. Hell the mag looks are based on Spiderman.

>>39938254
Why would you want us mute? We communicate more with normal people than with fellow techies.

>>39938327
text to speach device exist in 40k

>>39938379
Yes, but speech to speech is more useful, I agree with >>39938327 in that its a bad idea.

>>39938379
But that's for the emperor only, no?

Small summary of each option, if more options appear I will write short descriptions of them too:

>>39938254
>A
Firebreath and firefists. We going full dragon.

>>39938271
>B
A man able to reach almost any place with semi perfect balance and with shotgun punches.

Also sorry about the typos and such, remember English isn't my first language.

>>39938302
>C
Able to sling using his hooks, command machines by voice and see the healthpoints of machines, people and buildings.

A body with a semi perfect balance, a metallic skull, vibrating wrists that turn blade weapons thrice as deadly but render ranged weapons temporally useless and exchange its claws for magnetic fingertips that can be used to manipulate machinery delicately from some distance.

>>39938379
The MC already uses text to speech to some degree. He thinks what to say and then the speaker he has for mouth says it. That's why he has a mechanical voice.

>>39938435
No worries, I know english isn't your first language, but if you want to make used fluff pdfs for things it would be considered courteous to properly copy-edit it first for those minor mistakes. I'm perfectly willing to accept the ESL thing for your good writing.

>>39938450
I know I know. I wasn't trying to excuse myself or say that my fluff doesn't needs to be corrected. Thanks for your comprehension.

What's the ESL thing you mention?

>>39938435
>>B

>>39938499
ESL, english second language, it means you learned english after your native language and are thus not as fluent in it as a native english speaker.

>>39938435
>C

Ok seems like there are no more bionic proposals and people have started voting what option do they want. Five minutes of voting from now on.

>>39938435
>B
Gotta vote for my own idea

>>39938435
>C
I want that skull.

Didn't manage to read the list and compile my own suggestion in time so this'll have to do ('sides, it's mostly the same as what I'd pick)

>>39938435
>C

>>39938435
>C
Would prefer possibly using the mag hands instead to be able to keep our claws, they've served us well and shouldn't the vibrowrist affect them aswell?

By the way Axsisel, could we not mount a vox caster on the side of our head or somewhere else entirely and thus retain our ability to speak whilst gaining a new jaw?

The options you've provided are jawesome but I can't bear to lose our fleshtalk capabilities.

>>39938658
I back this suggested amendment. Might also be worth adding the servo arms if they don't get in the way so that we can use those to operate things whilst our maghands or vibrowrists are depowering.

>>39938658
Adding:
I think the shotgun wrist seems semi useful, nothing we can rely on but it's a emergency backup, maybe if we can have a second safety mechanism on it to avoid accidental shotgun-fist bumb.

I'm also kinda fond of the hidden servo arms, for grabbing equipment or maybe close combat melee weapon

>>39938675
Well I'm always open to propositions. I don't see why not. People might find odd to find a man with a flamer for mouth thought.

>>39938690
>>39938715

In the description it says that they have to be programmed to do a single kind of movement, they cannot work on their own as another pair of arms, sorry. They can be still programmed to grab a knife and make a swinging cut movement for example.

I also reckon we could take those eolus arms with option C. They seem to have no drawbacks in comparison to the basic arms and having that trick (or jet engine in this case) up our sleeve might save our ass.

I also feel that an eolus powered punch assisting vibrating claws should instagib any flesh targets we get a hit aimed at their head with.

>>39938730
Oh, I understood
>To function perfectly they have to be linked with the nervous system of the owner.
to mean that we'd be able to use them fairly freely. Perhaps they could require specific programming for high dexterity routines, but otherwise we could clunkily use them manually?

Jus caught up. What possessed the inquisitress to do this? SHe's an inquisitor she doesn't have to answer to some backwater planetary governor. Additionally she offered up everything she had gotten off of volcano plant except Julianus and us. What's her game? Mark my words this is her making a move.

>>39938435
>C I guess.

Also, is there a version of the holocomm that only displays the image of them internally rather than as a hologram? It feels like it could be really handy to spy on people, but by extension it would be best served as a discreet thing that is only visible to us rather than anyone nearby.

Would also remove the need for it to be arm mounted.

>>39938730
Yeah, when I said as a melee weapon I was thinking along the lines of some basic programs such as
Reach down grab object A at position B and bring to hand
Or grab knife at point C and thrust forward. No complex movements but if we get stuck in a grapple were our hands are tied up a simple stab might save our life

Rolled 21, 13, 23, 23, 23, 18, 23 = 144 (7d24)

I'll now roll 7d24 to see how many hours does each bionic take to install.

Eolus cannot have hidden weapons thought, we would lose our flamer and powerblade. I'll let them to be installed on dendrites thought.

About the hidden servoarms I might have explained myself wrong. What I had in mind were a couple of hidden arms placed in the sleeve that were connected to your nervous system and activated with a mental order, with that order they do their programmed movement and then return to their original position. This movement can be from sliding a poker card to grabbing a gun but nothing way more complex that that.

>>39938809
She's a human, a powerful human yes a human after all. She made Nalasha become miserable by reminding her that she is infertile and Karelia is not and by "contaminating" her dynasty with the "tainted" Mellizune. She's just full of regret from something that started many years ago and she's now desperately trying to fix it as soon as she can.

>>39938873
Wow that's a long time.

>>39938873
>how many hours
>nearly a full day for each of them
Holy hell those dice.

>>39938873
>Eolus cannot have hidden weapons though
Ah, nevermind then.

>servoarms
Hunh, fair then. I'm just a little surprised I guess that we have the technology for dendrites and yet these servoarms can't be freely controlled.

>>39938873
Damn that a lot of time.


I get she is regretful, but she literally offered Everything from that planet including stuff she needs. You've gone on and on about how calculating she is. If she were trying to fix this she wouldn't be throwing gifts at a woman she knows hates her guts, since Karelia is telepathic. This is her playing a game, and she let us in on the video for a reason. She could have easily gotten her own servoskull instead of ours. She's planning and gaming something. I'm just wondering what.

>>39938899
It is exactly six days. I'll recommend you all to also give a look to the servoskull upgrades, they can be done while Heracor is in the operation table after all.

>>39938906
>I'm just a little surprised I guess that we have the technology for dendrites and yet these servoarms can't be freely controlled.
Didn't saw it that way. Ok how about this:

+Complementary Cubitii Dendrites
Thin dendrites that coil around the forearm and are connected by the knee. They can work and manipulate light objects and even hold a pistol if both dendrites hold the gun. They are frail and more of a tool rather than a combat bionic.

It is too late to add it now but the next time we get the chance to get bionics I'll add it.

>Player gets paranoid.
>SUCCESS

>>39939000
>connected by the knee
Do you mean elbow? And thanks for the concession. I'd rather see them attached at the shoulder or something though to afford them a greater degree of freedom, at the elbow I fear our magnetic fists may still be too close to delicate circuitry, etc

So, any of you want to see the servoskull upgrades or we leave the work done for today?

>>39939038
Once again you seem to be right, I was trying to mean elbow and besides now that I think about it if they were coiled around the forearm the hidden weapons couldn't be used.

Maybe place them connected to the ribs and twisted around the chest like a harness would be a better idea.

>>39939108
Let's see those skull upgrades.

>>39939027
I'm more concerned why NO ONE ELSE has put together what I noticed.

>Karelia's Psychic and VERY good at reading people. SHe knows just how much the overnor hates her and what she'll do to Liwet.

>She could have easily gotten her own servoskull or deleted the footage, but she didn't and encouraged us to see what happened.

>She knows we have some level of affection for Liwet.

>She's offering the governess the frigate we cleared, the men we saved and Liwet herself. Only thing she didn't ad in was us and Julianus.

>She's an Inquistor and up til now could care less what the woman thought. In fact she took joy in Fucking the man up and breaking his convictions, as well as rubbing it in.

This doesn't add up.

>>39939108
Show me the skulls

>>39939145
Or maybe I am just a shit writer with an even shittier continuity.

>>39939176
My bad:

http://pastebin.com/W1dRTsNX

>>39939145
Oh my friend, don't worry, shes clearly playing us, she wants to see what we do under pressure, this is all part of her judging whether were an infiltrator, a possible inquisitor, or just another soldier.

>>39939145
She might want us to remove the governess, but that could be done easily, since she's an inquisitor.

So what is likely is that she is actually corrupted, and the men we saved weren't saved after all, and are all cultists that will summon daemons. Her excessive drinking points us towards her being a Slaneeshi.

>>39939208
They were all mind wiped, why would she do that if shes slaaneshi.

>>39939176
Your continuity has been pretty solid so far. Not buying it.

>>39939205
Which is why wee need to talk about it. several minds should be able to follow one's track with enough thought.

>>39939208
Or she was acting and has a high alcohol tolerance or bionic liver. If she was slaaneshi she'd kill us for being a blank and her ship would be a lot weirder.

Regardless, we should meet and attempt to negotiate with the governess, if we're going to play into her hand, we should do so in the most slow and deliberate way possible, we poke and probe and see exactly what scenerio shes set out for us.

>>39939232
They were khornates before. So a god-swap.

>>39939259
Not really just overly paranoid and really trigger happy. They were basically Volcanic Catachans.

>>39939197
>SMG for Wurgen

I think Morti is good with the taser, it's nonlethal, and can harm circuitry.

>>39939292
>>39939176
Agreed either an smg or a lasgun.

>>39939328
Agreed

Rolled 2 (1d2)

Ok then. I'll let le luck decide.

SMG:
1
Laser:
2

>>39939145
Fret not, I had also identified all of that. I just didn't think it was worth saying anything about it at this stage.

As for Wurgen's upgrades, can we equip it with a close combat and a ranged weapon, diverting power between the two as appropriate?

I'd like to give him a chain dagger so that it can keep its bite, but also a lasgun or smg.

>>39937847
After rummaging and exploring the different sections of the mess that the stations database is you end selecting some bionics that you think fit your needs and style.

Honestly you cannot get mad at the datalogist of the Station. Each day a new ship comes and dumps dozens of yotabytes of information into their servers. It isn't unheard of entire information purges were thousands of files are deleted at once to leave memory for the incoming information.

In most occasions those purges seek old information that has barely been accessed as they are surely the archives that are of least use. This has proven to be problematic in more than one occasion were rich merchants have left their fortune in the bank and after years of being untouched the document that proved their belonging has been systematically purged, leaving those merchants without a single throne and fating them to a life of impoverishment.

With your selection done and finished you order those bionics to be built and ready to be installed. They all will take six entire days of installation were you will be placed into a forced state of comma sleep. Since you are one of the leader and there isn't barely any scheduled operation for the following days you can move the date as much as you want. It should be at least a day or two before heading into the xeno infested moon thought to get yourself at least somewhat used to your new body.

>>39938948
ESPECIALLY considering she thinks we are a blank. She definitely has some shit planned for us as she can't tell if we're loyal by mind read/rape.

I just don't know what she doesn't know what we are after but she DOES have someone we care about in her possession.

>>39939145
One of the stuff she is up to is testing us but i am unable to tell what else. She can't determine our loyalty as she would prefer so she is forced to go about it differently.

>>39939898

With the clock marking approximately ten post meridian you send your lupine servoskull into the workshop to have part of its lower jaw removed and be granted a lasgun frame.

After two hours of work the skull is ready. Its cannon is placed under its teeth, one of its eyes has been turned into an optic for better aiming and from one of its nostrils a small laser guide crosses.

It's midnight, you better head to you room.

Once again the girls are on your bed, you are already getting used to it after all. Liwet better spend all the time that she can with her only friends before being departed.

This time you sleep filling the tub with water and once again using the agent to make it not rust your bionics. It gives an odd yet pleasant sensation on your skin, its strange, kind of feels familiar.

Alright, It is almost midnight for me and tomorrow I have to get up early for class and do stuff.

As always 30 minutes for questions, suggestions, critics and archive descriptions.

Thanks for playing!

>>39939915
>its strange, kind of feels familiar.
So we were tube born then after all? Speculation!

>>39939931
Thanks for running, it's always nice to grab new upgrades.

>>39939931
Thanks for running.

Did we copy these bionic schematics to our ship's database?

>>39939931
SO Liwet is gone no matter what we do now correct?

>>39939972
>So we were tube born then after all? Speculation!
The details of his birth are pretty vague, we would have to return all the way back to his planet and interrogate the logis and biologis that keep the data and worked on his birth...if he ever was birth.

>>39940005
Yeah, they are shared.

>>39940013
Not really. Karelia works for the Ordo Hereticus, Sisters are pretty much the military force of the Hereticus, if you guys manage to get rid of Nalasha or avoid the governor from keeping her as a bodyguard she still will study in the Schola for a few years but return with her adoptive mother once her scholarship is over.

>>39940064
>Years
>Implying with all the fighting Heracor has been through he'll last more than a few months.

>>39940094
Well time fluctuates in the warp. For all we know after a couple of more missions Liwet could appear full Milf mode because time has fluctuated differently for us.

>>39940134
Id rather Heracor Get a break than warp induced shenanigans. He's the head skiitari on Karelia's ship. He shouldn't have too much in the way of trouble unless Karelia has bad fucking luck. Usually it's the inquisitor's interrogators or underlings who get in trouble. Unless we walk into a major fight we shouldn't have too much to worry about.


Also provided Liwet aged normally at all, I don't think Heracor could take the warp paradox without fainting.

>>39940204
I promise that between this fucked up event and the next fucked up event nothing weird will happen on the ships while travelling. Two chaos infestations are enough for now, I don't want to look all repetitive.

>>39940236
Good If Heracor isn't driven off the deep end he can relax distress and regain some sanity points.

It is uploaded, vote if you enjoyed it!

Also, why does the last thread only have four votes, was it boring or something?

>>39940749
Just slow and people don't always vote. Also it had that sense of impending doom feel about it. Now players know why. Kind of wish Anons made Heracor ask about Karelia's real motivations but alas I was too late to thread..

>>39940749
thajnks for running man
Also Sorry, i mostly just lurk

>>39940794
>Kind of wish Anons made Heracor ask about Karelia's real motivations but alas I was too late to thread..
Nah, that's not going to earn her trust. It'd just force to attempt another, more subtle, way to determine our true loyalties.
It's far better to dance to her tune with a wary mind and see where we end up. At the end of the day we're a very useful asset that she wants to be able to use without doubts. We're not going to run afoul of her if we don't act out of line.

>>39940857
Thing i'd like to make a point we're not a DISPOSABLE asset. We're no super techie, we're just good. Us putting 2 and 2 together means we're smart too. Smart means we are even more useful.

She has gone through a lot of personnel after all.

hasn't this quest been filled with women lately? i mean right now the most prominent characters are the inquisitor, her two daughters alaria and now also the governor, they all are women.

not saying it is wrong tho but maybe axisel is trying to add little girls and milfs to increase popularity? idk

>>39940954
Doubt it. Liwet and Mellizune are holdovers, and the inquisitor's husband is dead. We spend more time with them cause they're our boss, and friends, and daughter(adoptive) We could hang out with Julianus but he's kinda anti-social. We could hang out with our generals who are mostly male.

>>39940954
The male characters have simply had a more active role most of the time and thus died or gone a separate way.

Also never forget that best girl has already died after nurgle popped out of her belly.

>>39941953
But we haven heard from the commissar sense the lava planet

>>39942301
Oihan? That's because she flew to some other godforsaken part of the galaxy for her next mission.

>>39940749
before liwet leaves we should give her a holy book containing the scripture of mars

Kinda wanna waifu Karelia and gain Liwet, Melli and that other girl who's name I forget as daughterus

>>39945769
i thought we were waifuing liwet not her "Mum"

>>39946315
Change of plans, Karelia seems in need of a good husbando and Liwet regards us as a father figure kinda.

>>39946340
did you forget the part where she was perfectly fine walking around almost naked in front of us. girl seems interested. also karelia will probably discover what we are and kill us

>>39946387
>also karelia will probably discover what we are and kill us
Nah, she'd see no reason to so long as she thought we wouldn't work against her.

And as for Liwet being comfortable naked in front of us, that would suggest she did NOT hold romantic feelings towards us, rather than the opposite.

>>39946417
what i meant was that she seemed to have done it intentionally i think liwet, was trying to fluster herecor.

Let's see the strong and weak points of every possible waifu so far.

>Oihan
-Cutiepie
-Strong as fuck
-Roboarms
-Loyal
-Probably into femdom

>Elyadien
-Lithe and pretty but off setting
-Eldar
-Seer powers
-Mischieving
-Surely she's vanilla when it comes to sex

>Liwet
-Eh I imagine her kind of cute but in a tomoboyish way
-Lankystrong
-Nice and sensible
-Daddy Kink with Heracor maybe?

>Mellizune
-We left her paralytic
-Disabled cute loli gf
-She has no eyes :(
-Can turn creepy
-She can be pretty vicious. I guess she likes mindbreaking sex.

>Karelia
-The only true milf so far
-She seems to be fit but not buffed
-She's asian?
-Has raped people at least once, true number unknown

>Nalasha
-Milf wannabee
-She is like 50 years old so so?
-Psycho bitch
-Probs a super dirty Mommy Kink

>Any other suggestion?

>>39947606

Wasn't there that one Imperial Guard girl we befriended at first then sort of abandoned?

>>39948438

Arwa, I think her name was

>>39947606
Pretty Sure Liwet isn't a tomboy, now that she actually has skin and hair.

>>39950753
>>39952004
Dead people shouldn't count. Necromancy is inefficient.

>>39952004
What sniper girl are you talking about?

>>39952112
How do you imagine Liwet? Most people are given vague descriptions or none at all.

>>39953994
Waifish to be be honest. She was malnourished for a long time, only reason she's kinda strong was her clone biology and the fact Karelia gave her good body healing drugs. I imagine she'd be lanky and rather thin.

>>39954049
I meant facewise. I imagine her like in pic related.

>>39954153
Since she's a clone likely no freckles, Her hair is likely shorter than that, although she'll likely grow it out until schola regs make her cut it. She's also probably very pale in her face since her no skin rarely sees UV light. other than that no clue.
