"This is complete bullshit!" Tink's inherently whiny voice rang through the barracks, triggering exasperated groans from its other occupants. "It's the mindless, reactionary vilification of anything new by a bunch of narrow minded, overzealous, tech-illiterates who wouldn't recognize scientific progress if it bit them in their paranoid asses."


Nubby's head poked out of the large crate he was rummaging through. "I dunno, if dis Scientific Progress stuff is actually goin aroun' bitin' people, dey might 'ave a point..."


Across the room, Twitch leaned out from the behind the blast shield that separated his workshop from the rest of the room. "What if it's something that's supposed to bite people? Like a cyber-mastiff or a wallet?"


Nubby tilted his head to the side and scratched one of his boils as he pondered this. "I don' fink wallets are supposed ta bite people Twitch."


"Mine does, remember that one time when you tried to pick-"


"I wasn' tryin ta do nuffin! I was jus' lookin fer my keys-"


"In MY pockets?"


"Well I'd already checked all mine!"


The two troopers' argument was brought to halt as Tink, tired of being ignored, ran between them and started shouting. "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! This is serious! They're going to make us leave EVERYTHING! Look!" Tink shoved the data-slate he was holding under Nubby's nose.


Nubby, his face screwed up with effort, began running a finger along the line of text Tink indicated. "...team's gear not ta include any arm-a-men' or de-vices of a non-'deptus Mechamani-, err Mechacapus, err cogboy approved ori-gin…" Nubby looked up at Tink in confusion "Da 'ell does all dat mean?"


"It means," replied the techie "no pulse carbines, no plasma-gun, and NO SPOT!"

"WHAT! Let me see that!" the dataslate was abruptly ripped from Tink's hands by Twitch, who began scanning at a far faster pace. "Oh shit shit shit shit shit shit, there's more." All three troopers bent over the dataslate. "No more than twenty kilograms of Munitorum Grade-B explosives?"

"Do you even have any Munitorum-issue 'splosives left?" asked Nubby. Twitch just shook his head and held up the cluster of lasgun power packs he'd been taping together. "Oh well, don' worry, I'm sure I can work somefin out if we can get to a depot... " Nubby paused as Tink and Twitch both pointed at the last line on the dataslate. "No items considered contraband under Administratium edict G-somefin-somefin-stroke-17e, Commissarial decree number… Cogboys… Arbites... 'Quisition... ECCLESIARCHY? What does da 'clesiarchy gotta do wif what I can or can' bring on a mission? Dis is mental! Who's making these rules?"

Tink straightened up and tried to recapture his initial indignant tone. "These are direct orders from Inquisitor Sciscitat."

"Wasn' ee da one who got squished by da bug? Ee get better or somefin?"

"No, the other Inquisitor the one from the stasis cell. He's taking command."

"What? Dat pillock? Does Sarge know about this?"

"He's in on it! They're both down in one of the conference rooms with the diplomacy Adept planning some sort of suicide mission!"

There was a pause while this sank in, followed by Nubby swearing and Twitch abruptly shouting "IT'S HAPPENING! I KNEW IT!", and sprinting out of the room.

Nubby watched the demolitions trooper go, then turned to Tink and asked "So, uh, ou' of curiosity, 'ow exactly did you get dis 'ere list?"

Tink brushed the question aside. "That's not important, what is important is that we get together and make it clear to Sarge that we're not going to have any part in this. We've got to stand up and say NO, we're not going to go off on a mission without proper equipment." Nubby, his self preservation instincts kicking in, took a step backwards, Tink failed to notice. "We're not going to get ourselves killed on some horrible backwater just because of some Inquisitor's ridiculous prejudices.

"Uhhhh, we're not?" Nubby took another step backwards.

"No, we're going to march in there and tell Sarge that either he gets rid of these ridiculous rules, or he goes on his mission alo-URK!" Tink let out a strangled little yelp as a large hand landed on his collar and yanked him backwards.

Somewhere behind Tink, a very deep and angry voice growled, "Guardsman, a word please."

Nubby Sarge drag Tink out of room, and let out a sigh of relief as the door slid shut. After a few seconds of standing around, listening to muffled shouting and thumping sounds coming through the door, he decided it was probably a good idea to figure out where Twitch went, and possibly join him.

>Sarge's Rules About What You Can and Can't Bring on a "Stealth" Mission With Inquisitor Asshat

No Pulse Weapons
Because people notice when lasguns fire little blue balls of plasma, that's why
No Tink's techno-heretical plasma monstrosity
No Spot
Not even if you make him a REALLY GOOD DISGUISE
Nothing, no matter how small, easy to hide, or "awesome", which could be described with the prefix XENO
No, we are NOT bringing Fio. Why would you even ask that?
No more than 20 kg of Munitorum-issue explosives
No piles of ammunition for weapons we don't use
Nothing that is almost but not-quite an explosive
Nothing that came out of Sergeant Gravis
NO CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, OR WARP-BASED WEAPONS PERIOD
No contraband
If you have to ask, it's contraband
Your bags will be checked Nubby
No Fumbles or Aimy
Just because Fumbles can turn invisible sometimes does not mean he's stealthy
Medical patients regrowing their entire scalp are not stealthy either
No Jim, Hannah, or Sister Valerie
Because they're staying on the Occurrence Border
No Occurrence Border
BECAUSE A SPACE HULK IS THE OPPOSITE OF STEALTHY, THAT'S WHY
No detailed plans to kill the Inquisitor, desert, and enlist in the Kulthian Foreign Legion
Because the Emperor hates you, that's why

So it occurred to me after rereading the last thread, the AGP has to be developing a reputation among space marines by this point. There has been one (1) space marine they have encountered that didn't end up dead/maimed/stranded in the ass end of the galaxy for months on end, and that one went back to his Deathwatch fortress and told his brothers that they killed a chaos marine. Being assigned to assist Interrogator Sargent will soon be a form of punishment, I can feel it.

So, no shit, we'd finally delivered the requested Zoanthrope. It'd taken the crippling, marooning, and deaths of two squads of Space Marines, gratuitous use of heretical xenotech, an assault on a technically-friendly civilian space station, the second worst worst warp voyage in the history of the Imperium, our arrest on trumped up charges by a traitorous Inquisitor, yet another pitched battle when said Inquisitor tried to steal the Zoanthrope for his private collection, and the general maiming of yet another squad of Marines, but we'd FINALLY delivered it.

Admittedly the bug had suffered some wear and tear during transit; what with the theoretically-impossible Daemonic position, and the way it'd been beaten to the very edge of death by a tau drone and a humorously shaped piece of wraithbone wielded by enraged Space Marine. But nowhere in our orders did it say that the thing had to be in good condition. It was Zoanthrope, it was alive (if only barely), and only the most ungrateful, pedantic, asshole would dare complain about the quality of the package after the sheer hell we'd been through to deliver it…

Of course "ungrateful", "pedantic", and "asshole" were just about the perfect words to describe Inquisitor Scisicitat, and if you added "bat-shit insane" it'd cover the Magos that ran the research facility as well.

The first thing the two of them did after the Inquisitor had been released from stasis was hold a meeting with us, the Diplomacy Adept, and a few their own minions. Supposedly, it was to catch everyone up on the overall situation and plan the next move, but it was really just several hours of people yelling, lecturing, and just generally blaming us.

Seriously, EVERYTHING was our fault.

It was our fault that several members of Sciscitat's team had died during the battle in the evidence warehouse.

It was our fault that the traitorous Inquisitor had died before he could be questioned.

It was our fault that several extremely rare and valuable xenobiological specimens had escaped, died, or been turned into squigs.

It was even our fault that a several light-year wide shadow had fallen across the warp, disrupting Astropathic communication, causing sub-sector wide political turmoil, and prompting the redeployment of several Imperial fleets to protect against a supposed hive-fleet incursion. (Okay, in retrospect putting the Daemonthrope in an Astropathic Sanctum might not have been the best idea, but how the hell were we supposed to know that? The closest things we had to experts on psi were Fio and Fumbles.)

Oh, and finally, it had apparently been our "inexcusably reckless" actions which finally gave Oak's enemies the ammunition they needed to bring charges of treason against him. So the whole entire current mess: the arrest orders issued for all of Oak's teams, the attacks on his allies under the cover of official investigations, the seizure of the research facility and Sciscitat's own imprisonment, and even Oak being forced to take his battleship into hiding; it was all OUR fault.

Or at least that's what Inquisitor Sciscitat and his minions thought. Personally, we blamed a combination of bad luck, everyone else being stupid, Orks, and the perverse nature of universe itself for at least eighty percent of all that. As for the others, the Magos didn't seem to care about anything other than his specimens, and for all his complaining, he actually seemed very interested in the Daemonthrope. And the Diplomacy adept, who'd inexplicably wound up in charge of the discussion, claimed it didn't matter either way, and encouraged everyone to focus on the next stage of their respective missions.

>>50034843

Our role in these "missions" was that of hapless go-fers.

See, before the arrival of the traitorous Inquisitor and the Daemonthrope's astropathic jamming aura, Oak had sent orders which assigned us to Sciscitat's retinue for the duration of some vaguely-defined investigation. Since the Inquisitor thought of us as "a bunch of juvenile, tactless, indiscreet, and dangerously incompetent meatheads", and we considered him to be a socially inept cogitator weeny with delusions of genius, why we'd been paired up like this was a bit of a mystery, but the orders seemed genuine.

It belatedly occurred to us that our decision, back on our second-ever Inquisitorial assignment, to ever-so-slightly falsify then-Interrogator Scitatat's after-action report might have been a bad idea. Sure, before we'd edited it, the report had been full of accusations of incompetence and obstruction, and it had ended with a recommendation that we all be re-assigned to a penal legion… But maybe that was how all his reports were written, and the way we'd removed all mention of our antics and put our own performance down as "Nearly Adequate" had wound up looking like high praise in comparison. Or maybe, as Twitch now insisted, Oak had seen through the forgery on day one, and this was his punishment.

Anyway, whatever the reason we'd been assigned to the asshole, we had no choice but to stick to our orders. Well actually we could've told Sciscitat and Oak to stuff it and then went off to do our own thing, but there's nothing like knowing that the Inquisition has issued a warrant for your arrest to motivate a cooperative attitude.

So yeah, Inquisitor Sciscitat was our new boss, and his first orders were to "Stay out of my way, and Assist Magos Smith in any way possible." Which is why we spent the next few days fetching, carrying, and occasionally squig-wrangling for a tech-priest who, in a totally unexpected twist of fate, turned out to be completely nuts.

>>
>>50035058

Well, maybe not COMPLETELY nuts, but that was only because the Magos was so far around the bend that he was re-approaching sanity from the opposite direction.


First of all, it turned out that he wasn't actually the tech-priest that we'd seen walking around with the Inquisitor and Diplomacy Adept. It took a while, but after the third incredibly awkward conversation with the inexplicably unresponsive tech-priest, we finally figured out that it was actually the oversized servo-skull that was calling the shots. The tech-priest-looking body, as well as that giant man-beast we'd seen in the warehouse battle and a fair number of other freakish looking things, were something like a cross between a servitor and a full-body augmetic. He called them "Meat Puppets", which should tell you everything you need to know about the state of his mind.


At first some of us (mostly Tink) were rather curious about how a tech-priest winds up as a disembodied brain flying around controlling a horde of servitors and flesh-sculpted monstrosities. When Tink tried to press the Magos on the why and how of his servo-skulliness though, all he got was a vague comment about having done it to himself for political reasons and an assurance that: "Getting the brain out was the easy part. The hard part was getting the brain out." Then the Magos flew off cackling, only to return a few minutes later to scream at us (for about the fifteenth time) for killing his prize Eldar test-subject. Or maybe he'd been angry about the death of the lizard thing, or the group Bendies we let escape, or how his entire collection of genestealer cultists had been squigged. It all sort of ran together after a while.

One guy got up to Episode 5 but seems to have bogged down. Understandable as the eps keep getting longer, his last was an hour and a half. I've tried recording the series myself for my own interest and can't get through more than maybe fifteen minutes without cracking up and making some sort of obvious mistake.

Not just the characters, though, his style of writing has strong elements of that British wry understated humour thing. One military series that strongly inspired Pratchett (and Nobby, for that matter) is GM Fraser's McAuslan, and I've been reminded more than once of that by this series, though I don't think Shoggy's read it.

Putting the Magos' weirdness aside, the reason we were helping the crazy cogboy was that the brainy people had decided that the planet was no longer secure. The whole debatably-heretical research facility needed to be packed up and moved via the first available Imperial vessel. Which is to say, the Occurrence Border.

You can just imagine how thrilled the Captain and Ol' Bill were to find out their ship would be playing host to a xenobiological research lab, completed with an insane Magos Biologis, numerous psychically-gifted specimens, and the damned Daemonthrope they'd only just finally gotten rid of. The only reason they limited their complaints to bitter grumbling (as opposed to orbital strikes), was the Occurrence Border's supply situation and the awkward tactical problem which had resulted from it.

See, after such a long and hard journey without resupply, the Occurrence Border was out of just about everything. So when it finally used the last of its fuel (and the recoil from its macro-turret) to slow down enough to dock with the small refuelling station orbiting above the facility, its Captain was in a rather ruthless state of mind. The ex-naval officer, having had it up to here with politely asking, begging, and (Emperor forbid) paying for supplies that were rightfully his to requisition, had broadcast his ship's Inquisitorial credentials and announced his intention to commandeer EVERYTHING. Not everything as in "everything you can spare", literally everything, as in down to the crew, atmosphere, decks, and bulkheads. Waste not want not and all that...

The locals objected to this of course, complaining loudly that this sort of looting wasn't even remotely within the legal limits of the Captain's Inquisitorial charter, and called for aid from the only other ship in the system: the light cruiser which had brought the recently-squished Inquisitor and his arrest team.

The light-cruiser was a standard naval vessel that had been commandeered by the traitorous Inquisitor to provide transport and overwhelming fire support for his arrest team. After the initial excitement of its arrival the ship had just sat in orbit, serving as protection, Astropathic communication provider, and storage for items that were too large to fit in the evidence warehouse; such as the facility's shuttles and a small cogitator-filled normal-space vessel that had been in orbit when they'd arrived.

It'd been a nice boring assignment for them right up until their Astropaths lost contact with the rest of galaxy. Then, while they'd been off at the edge of the system, futilely attempting to outrange the Astropathic jamming we'd unknowingly been broadcasting ahead of us, the Occurrence Border had arrived. By the time they managed to get back to the facility their Inquisitor was very dead. Left to their own devices, they probably would have just destroyed the Occurrence Border and blockaded the research facility until the arrival of further orders. Fortunately for us though, the Deathwatch Apothecary had claimed command as the technically-ranking survivor of the dead Inquisitor's retinue, and told the ship to stand down.

The light-cruiser had sat in orbit, waiting for the Apothecary to finish his business on the planet, until the Occurrence Border started its looting spree and the Station requested their aid. The ship's captain, being mindful of all the Inquisitorial bullshit going on, voxed the Apothecary for orders, and the Space Marine kicked the problem over to Scicitat, who probably made some sort of smug "just as planned" comment before voxing the Occurrence Border. The Captain was basically asked whether he'd prefer to transport on the Magos and his lab, or go toe-to-toe with a ship ten times more combat-capable than his own. The Captain went with the former, but it was a close thing.

I'm interested in how Sciscitat (back when he was the team's Interrogator) rated his own apparently first-class cogitator ship. Did he have it before he was in the Inquisition? Granted, the AGP have one, but 1) they're just along for the ride and 2) it's the freakin' Occurrence Border.

>>
>>50035416

So, while shuttle after shuttle carried xenobiological specimens, techno-heretical research equipment, and bizarre servitors into orbit, the Occurrence Border's entire crew flooded into the little station, and under the guidance of Ol' Bill and his engineers, set about looting the place more thoroughly than even the most determined Freeboota could manage. Every scrap of fuel, supplies, and equipment aboard the station was commandeered. The entire crew, down to the dependents, servitors, and family pets, was rounded up by the press-gangs and given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to earn their passage out of the system as an indentured voidsman. Finally, the handful of backwater tech-priests and Administratum scribes that ran the place (and who were technically exempt from naval conscription) were given a choice between "voluntarily" joining the crew or staying behind as Ol' Bill and his engineers sucked out the atmosphere, cut the station into manageable chunks with lance-fire, and then strapped the pieces to the Occurrence Border's hull like hunting trophies.

Of course we weren't personally around to see the entirety of the looting spree: we actually only stayed in the system for a few days before our new boss decided it was time to go, and during that time we were all very busy helping the Magos move his lab. Well, I say "we", but honestly, certain members of the team didn't pull their weight during the whole packing process.

For instance, Aimy dodged her fair share of the work by collapsing in a heap about ten seconds after the Astartes-grade painkillers she'd been given for her MASSIVE scalp wound wore off. She wound up spending the rest of her time in the facility lying around alternately moaning and swearing at the rest of us, and rode up on the first shuttle back to the Occurrence Border.

The AGP hauled a daemonically possessed Zoanthrope to a secret Inquisitorial research station. The Inquisitor on site arrested them, accidentally woke up the Zoanthrope (which proceeded to stuff his head up his own ass and then crush him into a tiny ball) and the AGP, with Deathwatch assistance, managed to reconfine it. Then an onsite Magos showed up, and he, the Diplomacy Adept, and the asshat =][= from 'Dude, Where's My Psyker?' revealed that there's a conspiracy of heretical Inquisitors in the thrall of the Ruinous Powers trying to fuck Oak over, and by extension, them and the AGP.

Doc, no doubt encouraged by Aimy's bad example, announced that he was too busy with medical things to do an honest day's work. At first he insisted that keeping Aimy's head from getting infected and falling off took priority over carrying boxes and herding squigged genestealer cultists. Then he just had to help the Apothecary reattach his arm and get Heart and Grumpy Marine into stasis. And after that it was all "I've got to transfer my information on Sergeant Gravis' condition, and fix the scalpel wound in my face", the lazy bastard.

Sarge wasn't any help either: he kept running off to chat with the Diplomacy and Cogitator Adepts about "conspiracies" and "politics" and "how did you know the Xenology Adept was a traitor before you shot him". This newfound laziness was a perfect example of what promotion over the rank of sergeant does to a guardsman.

The worst of all were Tink and Jim: they were so desperate to avoid some honest work that they actually left the whole planet, taking our shuttle back up to the Occurrence Border before the ship had even finished decelerating. Jim claimed he had to go warn Hannah and the tech-acolytes that someone called "The Fleshsmith" was still alive and would be coming aboard, so he might've had an actual reason, but the only excuse Tink had was that he needed to go hide Fio before the annoying little xenos wound up in the Magos' specimen collection. Of course that turned out to be a load of bullshit. Firstly, the Magos found his super-secret hiding place all of ten minutes after arriving on the ship. Secondly, all the Magos did upon seeing the annoying little xenos was point out that Tau were genetically uninteresting, and ask whether the room was the xenotech garbage dump. He then tossed the battered remains of Spot (sans-wraithbone, he was apparently keeping that for himself) onto the floor and left without waiting for an answer. So yeah, time well spent.

Honestly staying behind on the station and dying of asphyxiation would probably have been a kinder fate than serving aboard the Occurrence Border. Especially now that it's going to be carrying even more psychic xeno fun stuff than ever before.

>>50035808

The point is that, despite it being our Inquisitorialy-assigned task, the only members of the team that actually did any real Magos-moving were Nubby, Twitch, and Fumbles. While everyone else made up excuses, the three of them slaved away, carrying boxes and recapturing escaped specimens while being screamed at by a crazy cogboy's disembodied head. They even used their own personal free time to collect desperately needed supplies for the team, and did they get thanked for their efforts? No! It was all:
>"We're not going to PAY you for returning our pulse weapons."
>"Deathwatch-issue hand weapons and wargear cannot be claimed as legitimate battlefield salvage."
>"That bolter wasn't 'gifted' to us. 'Gifting' is not, and never has been, an ancient Space Marine tradition. If you know where it landed, go get it and give it back to the Apothecary."
and
>"It doesn't matter if they're not going to need them anymore, we're not taking any of the facility's anti-orbital missiles with us. Even if, no, ESPECIALLY if Twitch says he can convert them to be man-portable."

Anyway, putting aside matters of laziness and ingratitude, after a few days almost everything was packed up and word came down Sciscitat had finished digging through the dead Inquisitor's underwear drawer, or whatever he'd been doing, and it was time to get ready for our mission. Not that we knew what the mission even was: the closest thing to a briefing we'd gotten was our initial meeting with the Inquisitor after we pulled him out of stasis and collected those of his retinue who'd survived the evidence-room battle.

That meeting had been singularly unpleasant. Aside from all the aforementioned yelling, realizing Scisitat was our new boss had come as a nasty shock; he'd been an Interrogator last we'd seen him, back when he'd led our second ever Inquisitorial mission. Back then he'd been a self-important data-analysis weenie, who sat around on a small normal-space corvette stuffed to the bulkheads with cogitators, while his team did the dirty work of gathering intel and executing the over-complex he cooked up. Picture the most arrogant, annoying intellectual you've ever met, then add a fondness for self-praise filled meetings and berating his minions, and finally top it off with just enough analytical genius for him to get away with all this. On our previous mission he'd done a decent enough job of unraveling the mystery we'd been sent to solve, but in our opinion he was a terrible Interrogator, and never should've been allowed to lead field ops.

Of course that had been a while ago, and time changes everyone. He wasn't an arrogant little shit of an Interrogator anymore. Now he was an arrogant moderately-overweight shit of an Inquisitor. Oh, and this time he was convinced that we were dangerously incompetent from the outset.

Along with his charming self, the Inquisitor had also brought some of our former teammates along. The psychic eavesdropper, Snitch, was just as weasel-like and eager to report our thoughts to his boss as we'd remembered, though he'd acquired a nasty skin affliction somewhere along the line, possibly due to way he constantly used his psychic powers. The other psyker to survive that mission, Face, seemed little buffer than we remembered and carried a force-sword now, and he'd added a prissy little mustache to his pretty-boy look. Finally, noble-born social infiltrator chick was just as posh and assassin-y as we'd remembered, but had also acquired a bunch of Cyber-Mastiffs and been promoted to Interrogator.

On top of the familiar faces, the Inquisitor's retinue included several combat specialists. Well, at least it had before the whole evidence-room battle, now it was down to just a Cleric with a brand-new augmetic arm and a Sororitas-style bolter instead of the usual flamer, and a wiry guy with far too many knives who literally had "Deathcult Assassin" tattooed on his forehead. The final member of the team was the Tech-Priest who maintained the Inquisitor's surveillance toys; his chief distinguishing feature was that he hated us.

Actually, hating us was pretty universal. Snitch, Face, and the Interrogator all shared the Inquisitor's theory that were completely unfit for Inquisitorial service, and the Assassin and Cleric bore a serious grudge over how those of us in the evidence room had just edged around the big battle instead of chipping in. We tried to explain about how important dealing with the Daemonthrope had been, and how we totally would've helped them if we'd known we'd have to actually work with them later, but they didn't seem interested in listening. Their hatred was more of a mix of disgust and resentment though; the Tech-Priest's was the real deal. See, he was one of those hardcore religious types, and our collection of xenotech weapons (especially Tink's Tau-hybrid plasma gun) did NOT go over well with him. He fervently believed that we should all be killed in horrifically violent ways for our blasphemy, and while he wasn't quite crazy enough to act on that belief, he did make sure to regularly remind us that we were all damned to cogboy-hell.

So yeah, these people who respectively thought we were dangerously incompetent, blamed us for the death of their comrades, and wanted to burn us at the stake (or whatever the cogboy equivalent is), were the guys we were supposed to "accompany and assist on their mission". Thanks Oak.

Okay, it's late and I've just hit one of the spots where there's all sorts of drunk-writing badness (not the fun kind, just incoherent).

Here's what I'm going to do, I'll grab some time during the day tomorrow, and if this thread is up I'll dump posts directly into it as I fix them and get back to the good stuff (There are like 26ish more before I hit the end of what I have typed and am back to super-slow speeds). If that works out, great, but I'm not going to start a new one when this dies.

Either way I'm intending to push through and post the entire front half of this chapter by Friday or Saturday. (I'll figure out then if I should repost these or whatever)

I don't really like doing this all piecemeal, but it's got me moving again, which was sort of the point of all this. Thanks for the turnout and support guys, see you in the morning if the thread's up.

Alternatively, Oak figured out that Sciscitat is an incompetent lunatic but can't simply get rid of him for no reason. So Oak sends the AGP to accidentally kill/maim/horribly disappear Sciscitat without raising any eyebrows.

Oh god... The AGP will become the secret assassination tool of Oak. He unleashes them on those Inquisitors unfit for duty, but can't be removed without a long and annoying trial. So he just "assigns" the AGP to bumblefuck everything up, and still somehow accomplish the task... in a sense.

Either that, or AGP actually forges them into very competent Inquisitors.
After all, if they survived AGP, they know what it's like to operate under duress and active antagonism.

>The AGP are great because they really skirt the line of radical ventures in 40k, which makes for interesting and diverse scenarios. But they never go full heretic, and that's important.
I dunno about that last part. I'm pretty sure they passed into the heretical line in Season 2 Episode 1 where Tink got an Earthcast Tau-fu and The Whole of the AGP ended up as the main characters of a pro-Tau propaganda Anime.

Hey that makes me wonder, do you think Tink's Tau-fu is part of that show? Cause that would be adorable.
>>
>>50040493
I mean like Chaos heretic. The Imperium's anti-xenos policy is overzealous. The AGP are extremely liberal by 40k standards but they never go the full way of falling to Chaos.
>>
>>50040626
Some of the character deaths, particularly Cutter and Crisp, have strongly came across to me like they have accumulated far too much corruption by that point, so they agreed to have them go out with a bang, before Cutter falls to Khorne or Crisp actually takes the offer.

The system is pretty lethal, after all. Shoggy had mentioned a shared fate points system that could prevent really unfortuante rolls, but you can't go around corruption points.
>>
>>50040689
And that's the way any good guardsman should go. If I'm too corrupted to stand by the Emperor's side in the afterlife, then I'll STILL take the Spooky Poker Room of the Damned over selling my soul to the Ruinous Powers. A guardsman has standards, damnit.

As far as what that mission was, all the Inquisitor was willing to tell us was that he had been sent to investigate an Imperial world that was believed to be a stronghold of The Conspiracy. This wasn't exactly a wealth of information, but it was enough to convince us that we wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Seriously, he was proposing going to a world that was under control of what had been described to us as cabal of traitorous Inquisitors, you know, those guys who can requisition everything up to and including an EXTERMINATUS? I mean, as nasty as Inquisitors (especially ones mucking around with daemonic powers) can be on their own, it's their massive, almost unquestionable authority that really makes them really scary. Having that on your side is great, not only not having it, but actually going up against it? Not so much. What Sciscitat was proposing wasn't a stealth mission, it was a "if someone even suspects you an entire planet will hunt you down" mission, and that was just the BACKDROP. Emperor knew what sort of crazy shit the actual investigation was supposed to be centered around… oh and let's not forget that our teammates, the only people on the whole planet we could trust to watch our backs, actively hated us.

Okay, maybe that's overselling things a bit, but it really was an unpleasant sounding mission, and we responded to it in the traditional guardsmanly fashion, which is to say that we desperately attempted to weasel our way out of our orders. Sadly, the entire situation turned out to be remarkably weasel-proof. Oak's orders attaching us to Scicitat they were far too simple and direct for us to get away with creatively misinterpreting them, and we didn't have any better luck trying to get Sciscitat to dismiss us: as distasteful as the man found working with us, he seemed to consider a "suggestion" from Oak roughly on par with a divine mandate.

Of course divine mandates tend to be open to a bit of interpretation; while Sciscitat was dead set on bringing us along, he made it clear that he wouldn't trust us to organize a piss-up in a brewery, much less perform an Inquisitorial investigation. This had led to our official designation as dumb muscle, which was just fine with us, but it had also led to The Rules, which were less so. Scicitat had described them to Sarge's face as an attempt to "idiot proof" our part of the mission, and almost gleefully put the tech-priest in charge of writing them. That of course led to a lot of arguing, Tink's little aborted attempt at mutiny, and a desperate scramble to find where all of our old weapons had gotten to, which ended in even more yelling.

All of us had known that our supply of non-rechargeable munitions had been running low for ages: the grenades and detpacks had lasted almost to the end thanks to Twitch's hoarding, but the existence of things like krak-missile launchers was just a vague memory, and Sarge's ammoless grenade launcher had been traded away to some tech-acolyte building a combat servitor long ago. What had been less well-known, was that the hotshot lasguns which had been shelved in favor of our pulse-weapons had been marked as "extra-knee-us" and left in the possession of a certain Ratling black marketeer in favor of more lucrative items. Nubby's justifications about how he'd been planning to just buy us new ones if we ever needed them didn't go over well with any us. Long story short, we wound up armed for our upcoming Inquisitorial mission with nothing but our sidearms and standard-issue lasguns from the Occurrence Border's armory, which sat especially poorly with Tink, who hadn't used one since basic.

Anyway, word came down that the Inquisitor had finished his pre-mission whatever and it was time to move out, so we packed up our measly armament, and for the first time since we'd left Tau space, said goodbye to the Occurrence Border.
>>
>>50046050

While we weren't going to miss the horrible pile of warp-tainted scrap we'd been riding around on, its crew was another matter, so on our way out we paid a few visits to say goodbye (and make sure all of Twitch's little "surprises" had been disarmed, or at least documented).


The Captain and Ol' Bill were too busy to do more than tell us not to get killed, Jim promised to look after our stuff and make sure nobody dissected Fio, and Hannah thanked us for not trying to bring Jim. The Diplomacy Adept, who'd somehow wound up in charge of everything, asked Sarge to at least TRY to work with Sciscitat, and said he'd take care of our official report to Oak, since the Occurrence Border would be proceeding directly to the Inquisitor's hiding place. As for the other Adepts: the Cogitator Adept wasn't in his room and we didn't actually care enough to try and find him, and the Xenologist was still dead.


When we all visited the medbay Aimy wasn't really coherent enough to say goodbye. Unlike her previous two head injuries, this time every scrap of skin above her nose needed to be regrown, so her head was pretty much this giant pile of bandages and (this being a Sororitas-developed procedure after all) prayer seals. Aimy was too doped up on painkillers to really understand anything, but Sarge tried to fill her in on the situation. The rest of us just stood around speculated on whether the markswoman would still obsess over her hair, since this time her entire scalp would be regrown Sororitas-white, and whether there was some sort of energy-attack-attracting magnet embedded in her skull somewhere (Sister Valerie said she'd check). As for Doc's girlfriend, the two of them had already said their disgustingly sappy goodbyes, and all she had for the rest of us was a promise that returning without our medic would just be a very slow and painful method of suicide.
>>
>>50046050
Didn't use lasgun variable setting rules?
>>
>>50046100

Our final stop was the poorly-hidden lab where Fio was setting all his gear back up with Fumbles' help. While Tink pulled Fio aside for a final go over of the plans for Spot's third rebuild (being used as a bludgeoning weapon by a Space Marine isn't as bad as a nuclear blast, but it's pretty close), the rest of us said goodbye to our favorite psyker. We'd really wanted to bring the little guy, but the Inquisitor had flatly refused, and we couldn't really argue. When you get down to it, a psyker who uncontrollably broadcasts his emotional state and has problems controlling his powers at even the best of times has no place on a stealth mission. Also, he didn't really get along with the Inquisitor's psykers, especially Snitch, who claimed that Fumbles was like a cross between a painfully-loud Vox unit and an unexploded artillery shell.

Anyway, it sucked leaving Fumbles behind, but at least he took the news better than we'd expected. There was some initial moping, but he actually seemed pretty relieved not to be going to a heavily populated Imperial world where he'd have to worry about religious fanatics lynching him for having oversized eyes or just being a psyker. Also, he said it would be nice to get a break from constant life-and-death struggles, or at least as close to one as you can get as a psyker on a warp-tainted scrapheap of a ship. We wished the little guy luck, Nubby tried to give him a list of not-quite-legal things to trade for if the ship made any stops, Sarge hit Nubby, and then we rounded up Tink and left the Occurrence Border.

It should've been a happy moment: there were few things we'd wanted more than to leave that horrible deathtrap… But honestly, given a real choice between whatever shit-show of a mission was waiting for us and a five year stint on the Occurrence Border, we probably would've taken the latter. It just goes to show that the Inquisition can, and probably will, ruin anything.

Have fun, boss.

Desperately hoping here that the OB doesn't disappear into the warp, never to be seen again (or gets blown up by antagonists). I'm not sure it's beyond the DM...

Nah, senpai. The OB causes the PCs too much suffering. He couldn't just make is disappear.
>>
>>50048138
>>50048195
Nah! This is just Heretic Purging, but with an asshole inquisitor and no awesome old ladies. They'll be fine!
>>
>>50048446
Their DM isn't that kind of killer DM. He'll put the characters in hard situations, yes. But he isn't the type to kill party associates offscreen for cheap drama. Hell, if he did it wouldn't even be dramatic. It would just be

>GM: You return to Oaks Ship and learn it's been lost in the warp forever.
>Players: You asshole

So gripping! Except not really.
>>
ooooh sheeznetB

about's postijg... on halloween??

dare i fear the worst?
>>
Dear sweet merciful Emperor, Shoggy is back!
>>
>>50048426

Nah, the DM would at LEAST let the group play a session with the entire team playing as Aimy and working with the honorary guardsmen of the ship (Fumbles, Jim, etc.) to prevent warp shit before he'd outright blow them up.

... Though he might have warp shit happen that leaves requires the team to undergo the NEW 2nd worst adventure on it just to get rid of the shit that made it's way there while the team was off doing something else.

Honestly, if every one of the specimen brought aboard the ship doesn't become daemonically possessed (maybe the damn shrooms as well) I'll be shocked how easy the DM is letting them off.
>>
>>50048457
Remember it was that particular asshole inquisitor's egocentric overly-complicates plans that got Heavy killed. And he wasn't even actively trying to kill them at that point.
>>
>>50048565
Nah, the only reason that the Zoanthrope got possessed is because of Frank, the Occurrence Border's resident demon who possessed the head tech priest. Aside from him, they don't really have any other demons that are capable of possessing people there.

You do realise that there is no need to bump it until it's at page 10? That way, you also save replies, meaning there's a larger chance of it surviving for longer.

Is this thread archived yet? I'm on s phone and too lazy to check.

Post yfw Shoggy and his group have been taken by the warp to provide entertainment for the Chaos Gods for all eternity and can only cross back into real space for one day on Halloween to continue the AGP among mortals.
>>
I have no idea what this is or who Shoggy is or what, but this is awesome writing.

I love it. Keep it up!
>>
>>50048726
It's the OB.
96% of it's crew are more or less human.
2% are Krootoids
2% are Demons gone native.

>>50053016
>2% are Demons gone native.
... I dont know why but this seems like an awesome idea.

>>50050711
Possessing a 'nid? Seems like a safe enough proclamation. Possessing a humie? Obv not.

>>50053112
I think he is counting the warp fungus on one of the abandoned hangars, as well as any spirits inhabiting it.
And possibly any random nurgling and minor daemon lurking in the hallways.

Also, what do the poker room denizens count as?
Ghosts or warp entities?
>>
>>50053156
warp entities until proven daemons. So far they have been nothing but helpful

It's kinda still on going, so you haven't missed much.
Also we are only down to first third if even that of the story.
>>
>>50053112
It stops being awesome around the time you have had to walk through the 7th hallway with blood rain and accidentally opened the third door that leads to a room full of fecal matter... DEMONIC FECAL MATTER.

You should record your games like critical role and then post it on youtube.

Say, the planet the All Guardsmen Party is going to doesn't happen to be the All Guardsmen Planet, by any chance?

It'd explain the sudden flashlight rules, and also give interesting oppertunites for Nubby to "aquire" better Guardsmen gear and detpacks for when things go to shit, and it'd also be pretty funny if Twitch encountered people who are actually gratefull for a bomb-fortified firebase to keep out suprise orks.

He's just archiving it for our amusement at this point.

Could be worse. You could have been that daemon who decided to aquire a "Genuine Space Hulk" for Abbadon, and it turned out to be possibly the most holy ship ever to exsist. Apparently, he had a unfortuante accident with the 20 Loyalist Primarchs Room.

In the end, popularity was the all guardsman party's biggest enemy.

That and gratuitous amounts of alcohol.

Anyways, hopefully we will see Shoggy again next weekend.
>>
>>50056192
Nobby provides snacks, for a fee.

Have to do something with those soul stones he picked up a few months back.

>>50056272
>>50056301
Quit bitching you lot.

Shoggy usually gets busy with shit and wanders off for weeks, story time has been over for about 18 hours now and there's an archive on his site.
>>
Okay I'm back, but this thread is about dead, and I think I'd rather get everything in order for an entire 1/2 chapter posting this weekened than start another just to drag to a halt before shit hits the fan.

Thank's for showing up and all the support guys, I'll keep an eye on this 'til it falls of the boards, and otherwise see you all this weekend. I think I'll be shooting for Saturday evening, but it might wind up being Sunday based on social obligations.

>>50054382
>>50054743
Well, not SEVERAL, just like, 2. It was fresh when I started...

>>50054690
As interesting as that would have been, no. Gener is insulated from all these shenanigans by the fact that nobody actually cares about it, or even remembers it exists.

Since I don't really see how it would be too spoilery, here's the actual planet's intro: Thankfully, it only took a single day of cramped normal-space travel to reach orbit over our destination, the hive-world Haarlock's Wager. Or, to use its full name, Joseph Haarlock Sucks At Cards. We were advised not to discuss the planet's name, or the names of its primary hives, with the locals. It was apparently a touchy subject.

>>50056272
>>50056301
Eh, it's for the best. Otherwise would've just ended with 5 posts of whining about our living conditions during transit to the mission.
>>
On one side, I have only found a live AGP thread as it's dying. On the other this also gives me time to catch up on what I've missed.

I'm conflicted.
>>
>>50056425
quick question shoggy, next thread you'll begin from the start or pick up where you left?
>>
>>50056583
I'll begin from the start, since I have all the images picked out and basic proofing done, I can just crank those all out in just a few minutes and save everyone from fucking about in the archives.
>>
>>50056610
thanks shoggy, btw I'll email you later on with a sample of the proofreading
>>
>>50056610
papa bless
>>
>>50056610
Could you also check through couple of typos on those posts?
They aren't so bad i couldn't understand the text, but i just figured, if you have a moment to read through the posts once more.
>>
>>50056639
Yeah, I'll see if I can't polish things up a bit now that I'm in less of a blind panic.
>>
>>50056665
Cheers.

Also, how was the halloween party?
>>
>>50056425
so, if AGPs done... have you and your friends been in new campaigns?
>>
>>50056718
Not yet, we were planning to this summer too much stuff piled up for all of us (me more than anyone else of course). Things are looking up for next spring though.
>>
>>50056783
Are there any specific plans on what sorta game you are going to play, or are ya gonna just go with whatever the GM throws at you?
>>
>>50056817
We're leaving it up to him since he's the one who does all the real work. Putting the various 1-off ideas he's mentioned aside (like a Dreadnaught deathwatch mission, or another one of his weird time-loop ideas) it feels like he's leaning towards either Shadowrun or something with pirates.
>>
>>50056935
Why not both?
>>
>>50053298
>So far they have been nothing but helpful
It's a Tzeentchian plot!

Oo, could be fun. I enjoyed reading about the drone heist, and it's what made me check out TwoDee's magnificent saga.

Could you repeat the question?

what were we talking about?

I'm not sure.
>>
>>50059554
are we here?

Is anything here?
