Finally still to do is the removal of Drakkon.
Personally I would recommend we send a squad of veterans along with undercover Arbitrators dressed as serfs over their armour. The story is that we have ostesibly been sent by Larion Ursus to deliver an important message regarding the recent troubles in the capital.
As we are still supposed Larion's vassals Drakkon shouldn't be surprised. Once we're inside his office the Arbitrators can deliver the order of his removal from Larion and the veterans can ensure there's no trouble as they escort him out of the office of Lord General Militant.

Thoughts?

Very unlikely to succeed, also smells of magical realm. I have no idea how you intend to keep Eversor immobilised for so long. I guess we'll have to continue the fight as it was proceeding last time.

>>2275994
+Removing Drakkon+
Once you discuss this with your men you get a few different opinions. Renard frowns, but speaks out his mind:
>That might be really dangerous for the men we will send, Chapter Master. If Drakkon is half as smart as I imagine him to be, he will be well guarded and simply arresting him might not be an easy option. On the other hand it would be a quick solution to a big problem. I am not opposing it, but I have a bad feeling.
Meanwhile Brethorius supports it:
>This would show the Sector that we have legitimate authority. We've managed to achieve so much with spilling so little blood. I hope we will manage to continue this way.
Harmantos cuts in:
>I don't believe in luck. This streak isn't going to last, we should just in case ensure that we have all of the possible allies covering our back. I don't want to even imagine how would a fight against the Sectorial Imperial Guard would look like.

>>2276051
>also smells of magical realm
-> >>2262081
Always worth asking

>>2276051
Hagen controls the Navy.
We should make sure all the Naval vessels in Steelhaven Anchorage are ready to start priming their weapons and serve as a show of force. Drakkon can't win against orbital supremacy.

What to people think of that?

>>2276072
>What to people think of that?
That ruins the surprise of the other plan, though.

>>2276051
Alternatively. Send Drakkon a request from Larion to come to the Sector Palace.

"Brother, I'm sure you may have heard rumours of conflict in the sector capital. Unfortunately the family has not emerged unscathed, and I request you return to the palace for an important dynasty gathering."

Yes/no?

>>2276083
Yes

>>2276083
Prepare a videomessage from Larion Ursus in which he publically removes him from office, which we can spread on all frequencies, should he choose to do something dumb.
Just in case.

>>2276083
Sounds better. We shouldn't be the ones going for him. I he refuses, we can take more from the dynasty, and could even arrest the guy.

+Belisarian Ascension+
[Thank you TripMarine for a great contribution.]
People in the streets rejoice (as they usually do, before the disillusionment comes) at the inauguration of their new rulers. Food rations are handed out, litanies are sung out loud, factory shifts are shortened, Tachion Primaris is celebrating the new era. Belisarian heirs are now on the throne, but you have to be blind not to see the dark shadow of a Space Marine standing behind their throne...

+1 Fate Point (successful coup)
+10 Chapter XP
+3 Chapter Master XP

Pages to be created:
+Gration+
Pick one out of two traits:
-Strategist/Administrator
-Power-Hungry/Cruel
-Intelligent/Charming

Gains: Jaded, Astartes training

+Donata+
Pick one out of two traits:
-Merciful/Zealous
-Aristocratic/Beloved
-Diplomatic/Dominant

Gains: Pious, Sororitas training


+Sector Governorship+
Adeptus Administratum in their catalogues will need to clarify who is the primary ruler of the new Sector. You, as the benefactors of Belisarian ascension, can influence this.
a) Gration
b) Donata
c) Diarchy (On paper: Gration)
d) Diarchy (On paper: Donata)
e) Eliam (in absentia, regents - Donata and Gration)

Diarchy will mean joint rule in practice, but official title can still be held only by a single person.

>>2276153
+Gration+
>Strategist
>Power-Hungry
>Intelligent

+Donata+
>Merciful
>Beloved
>Diplomatic

>c) Diarchy (On paper: Gration)
I envision Gration as the strong, calculating lord on the throne and Donata as a nice diplomatic face of the leadership.


My votes. Thoughts?

>>2276159
I completely agree

>>2276159
I agree, we need military competence for Gration, power-hungry is better than cruel and it's better to have a smart guy who's not charming than an idiot who likes to smile (especially when he already likes you)

Might want to consider zealous for Donata though due to the incoming crusade and since mercy can be quite a weakness.
Of course, mercy can also be useful since we're supposed to be listening to them and probably won't sooner or later...

HOWEVER
>>2276153
>a) Gration
Only one primary ruler, no diarchy

>>2276159
I'll change my vote to:

>>2276163
>>>2276153

>Only one primary ruler, no diarchy

To remove complications.
Though Gration should still have Donata be his public face.

She's pretty and charming, he's smart, I'm sure he'll know how to use her.

Well for flavour reasons I'm going with administrator, cruel and charming (think Nero in 40k) and zealous, aristocratic and diplomatic (think Lucrezia Borgia if she had been raised by nuns)

I realize this is probably a minority view though :^)

+Proteus 34 Research+
[Roll: 86, Anon]
While at first serfs where a bit confused about cyber eagle flying through the corridors of the battle barge, they already got used to it. You made sure that Proteus 34 has just enough freedom to fly wherever he wants within a very restricted area on your deck, without going anywhere near any vital systems or access ports. This time cyber eagle soars onto your shoulder with a hint of triumph.
>I've done it, warrior! Your code was merely a game for me. I have all of the answers. That barbarian, Simmer, was very uneasy about divulging starchart information which I required to track down the routes mentioned in the codes. I was able to decipher from the notes that Margon's men were picking up containers with spook from a merchant cruiser that always travels via route passing about 4 warp hours away from the warp anomaly known as the Grave. After checking the records it immediately became apparent that a ship of this size and class should have chosen a different route in order to optimise it's operations, but I strongly suspect these coordinates [cyber eagle takes out a scrap of pergament from his feathers, it has a sequence of numbers clearly written with a beak tipped in ink] are the place where the 'partners' are dropping off the spook shipments. Yes, that is correct, I suspect that these partners are of the 'heretic' classification, that your men are so fond of.

+Eversor Engagement+
Your men are very painfully learning a very hard lesson - fighting Eversors in closed spaces where you can't use neither numbers, nor tactics. Anarxio roars. His blood is boiling, almost literally, from the unstable mixture of powerful drugs that push him to the levels that challenge even Space Marines. Chop, rip, tear, throw grenade, duck, shoot the sniper, dive, rip again, kill the Sergeant, avoid the flamer, chop, chop, chop. More of them come. Another cycle, let's repeat.

On the other side of the battlefield appears Horatio, Leutenant of the mighty Fourth Company. He is not like many of the other Astartes, he lives for words and stories, admiring ancient epics and quoting old Terran plays from the heart. He often dreamt of glory such as that described in books, but not once before did he have to face an opponent so worthy as an Eversor Assassin.

They crossed blades just as Captain Dreidor appeared at the end of the corridor, leading his personal squad, some of the toughest, nastiest marines in the Chapter.

How was the fight concluded?
a) Dreidor charges directly into battle - Captain should be the one to strike down such a foe!
b) It seems that Horatio is powered by the power of the ancient stories themselves, he deserves his chance for glory - allow him to fight
c) Same as b, but intervene in case he starts losing
d) Open fire, drive Eversor back - reducing our casualties is more important than killing him (this will make Eversor flee the ship as he is getting exhausted)
e) Circle around and back stab Eversor

>>2276209
If you would pick this option, I would give you +1 XP.

no heroics
also the eversor fights us because he is told to. since both we and he are on the same side, killing him would weaken the Imperium. If it cant be avoided, it cant be avoided but i prefer not to

>>2276229
C) Eversor has was faster reflexes than us so i don't see the point in trying to sneak behind and trying to run him off is unlikely to buy more than a brief respite. So let Horatio fight if it looks like he's winning but the only thing that matters here is winning. Glory is for those who have already won.

Also that was a suspiciously good Proteus outcome for a bad roll

Dreidor calculates the chances and decides to pursue the path of least casualties for the moment. Those that are dead will not walk again, but there's no need to increase their numbers.
>CONCENTRATED FIRE! NOW!
Anarxio exchanges a few more blows with Horatio, who appears to be a much more formidable fighter than anyone could have previously guessed, but even he can't mach Eversors ferocity. Assassin assaults him with full force and only fire from Dreidor and the rest of the men forces him to retreat.

Gains WS 35+2d10

Wound [d3]:
1. Anarxio ripped off half of his helmet, taking out Horatio's eye and a bit of cheek
2. Anarxio cut off Horatio's right hand
3. Anarxio cut through Horatio's throat, damaging his vocal cords (also 30% chance of death, roll d100 if this option realises)

+Casualties+
Eversor managed to attack Dreidors men in conditions very well suited for him, inflicting 3d10 casualties. However Dreidor's wise decision to drive him away will reduce these casualties by 10 (to a minimum of 5).

+Escape+
Eversor, wounded and exhausted, will attempt to flee the ship... Do you:
a) Let him get away
b) Pursue
c) Wait for him to find a way off ship and then destroy his vessel

Rolling d100, on 94+ he will get lost or run into some other trouble that is bad enough to stop his escape.

+Eversor retreat+
[Roll: 10]
Space Marines are pursuing fleeing assassin, not giving him a moment's respite. However Anarxio was trained for this, he is fast and cunning. He manages to slip away and when you track him down about an hour later, it seems he already managed to get into one of the landing docks and highjack one of the Thunderhawks. He leaves the battle barge and seems to be heading for Tachion Primaris... His plan obviously has one huge flaw - Thunderhawk is easy to track and you keep him in your guns. While it could try to evade, you are quite sure that you could get it if you would wish to. Also, there's a transmission coming from the Thunderhawk. Do you open it or not?

b) The coup was a serious show of strength, we are now Dominant, this will help us when dealing with factions and consolidate our influence
c) While the coup was mostly bloodless, that isn't hard to change... Hang the bodies of the witches in the main streets of Tachion Primaris and let the word spread - no one who stands against the Ghosts survives... This will obviously make you Feared.

Both them and us have gained power lately and while they seem to have Donata on their side, we should probably make sure that Gration remembers what we've done for him and keep on doing for him.
Basically, befriend them, but make sure that if anything ever happens we have the more powerful twin on our side.

"High Lords of Terra,

It has come to my attention that the Forge World of Nestorium has been placed under scrutiny for their practices. I am writing to extend my own opinions on the Nestorians to you, as someone who has worked with them and operated in the same sector as them for several decades.
It is true that the Nestorians have shown a stronger interest in research than most of the more orthodox forge worlds, but we exist on the edge of the galaxy. But unlike the more established core regions we encounter ancient human technologies and archeotech that have not been rediscovered for millennia, do such marvels of humanity's past not warrant examination?
Furthermore I know for a fact that Fabricator-General Regon of Nestorium holds his techpriests to a high level of discipline, and has laid down harsh punishments on those who may be overstepping their bounds.
You can rest assured, High Lords of Terra, that my own chapter itself is also committed to opposing tech-heresy, and if we encountered any we would work to combat it, regardless of its source. I believe the Nestorians also know this, yet they have readily worked with us regardless.

It is also important to note how important Nestorium is to the security of the Sector. They provide a large proportion of the Sector's military hardware and out here on the edge of the Halo Zone we are practically surrounded by enemies, from orknoid hordes to local xenos races, and even the warpstorm known as The Grave. From a purely practical standpoint Nestorium's output is badly needed to prevent disaster, and if dark forces were to escape from the Grave en masse - Emperor forbid - they would threaten the entire surrounding demi-segmentum.

Thank you for your attention,
Chapter Master of the Ghosts of Retribution.

Please find attached a techna-lingua translation assembled by our Master of the Forge."

When you open the message that was received from the fleeing Thunderhawk, it appears to be a short video recording of Eversor controlling the ship and beneath his feet struggles a tied up and seemingly drugged up human form... It seems Anarxio took a hostage as precaution. [Roll d10]

The hostage is...

You will find much more positive reactions to you, but on the other hand making people comply with your demands will not be very easy - everyone knows that you deal with people using silk gloves.

As you enter the bridge of Aspera Dominus, Chapter serf sent by Nerial Derang steps in front of you, bows and extends a decoded soulword:
>It’s from Drey Kasting, milord.
You nod in approval, it’s about time Terra started appreciating your work. You open the parchment:
>Congratulations on your progress, Chapter Master. Your coup made it to the actual agenda of the High Lords and received full three minutes of discussion. This is no small feat, your name was mentioned. As previously agreed, High Lords will offer official recognition once most of the factions will bend their knee to the new Sector Governor. If there’s any trouble from the former regime, crush it. Terra doesn’t want to spare a single Regiment to mop up your mess, so make sure that repercussions of your actions don’t evolve into anything more serious. Official recognition will be granted to the Sector a year after the first Sectorial Tithe arrives. On the other hand if Terra doesn’t receive one within the next five years, expect Space Wolves coming to visit your neighbourhood. Also, I was made aware that one of your allies involved in the coup has been listed on the Death List, signed by The Grand Master of the Officio Assassinorum himself. I am not aware of the details of which of the other High Lords requested elimination, but apparently he’s a sorcerer, kill him before his transgressions against the Imperium are associated with you. If he is indeed indispensible to your operations in Deus, keeping him alive will take some political will and negotiation on my part, so you will owe me one.

Do you want to ask Kasting to find a way to exonerate Hagen? Kasting cannot promise a full pardon, but there's a very good chance that he could get one. He will also dig up files on why Hagen earned the ire of the High Lords. Please roll d100 if you want to pick this option.

+++

Xyptus approaches you with a concerned look on his face. You know that look way too well, so you take him to the side for an eye-to-eye conversation.
>My lord, I am here to discuss certain very important matter with you. Despite the parades and the flag waving and the oh-so idyllic return of long lost ancient dynasty to the throne, there's work to be done and not all of it is going to be pretty. We control the capital and quite a few planets have already realised where the wind is blowing and are pledging allegiance to the Belisarians, however victory is not ours until two of the big beasts are not under our complete control - aristocracy and the Imperial Guard. Drakkon is still out there, he hasn't yet officially acknowledged in any way that he is aware of the situation at the Capitolis, but my men tell me, that he has known about it for weeks now. He might not just roll over for us. During the transition period Larion Ursus can still go to him and depose him as the Sector Governor. While inauguration on Tachion Primaris has made Belisarians on paper the rulers of the Sector, according to the legal precedent of prima notitia autoritatis, Drakkon or any other lord doesn't have to recognise them until he has been made aware of the transition of power in an official manner. So in theory Larion Ursus still holds power over him until Drakkon recognises that he is aware of the situation. We can use this to our advantage as Larion is under our thumb now. The other complication could appear from Lucas Xerant. He is a combination of all our fears - respected by the nobility, in command of a huge chunk of Sector Deus military forces, ambitious and worst of all - he's actually competent, unlike many of our previous adversaries, such as Larion. We didn't invite him to the table when the cake was being cut up between the factions, he will be hungry for his share. While I don't see him as much of a threat as Drakkon, I could see him as a kingmaker in a potential confrontation between Gration and Drakkon over the succession to Larion. Now about the Belisarians.

Various factions are already circling them like vultures. We are at a prime position for the pickings, but I know of your reservations. Yes, yes, I know, Astartes fight, not govern. I am very well aware of the ideals, milord. But let's admit the reality of things. Things have not always been easy for us and Imperial authorities have gotten in our way almost as much as helped us. We could... Take a more involved approach to things. Preempt problems before they happen. Many of the Chapters around the Imperium do it. Ultramarines are a very good example. What do you think?

Chapter relationship with Belisarians:
a) We are warriors of the Imperium. Our souls will remain pure of the involvement in mortal affairs. We will continue to operate as we have before - another institution among numerous servants of the Emperor.
b) We are the guardians of this Sector and we need to have a clear line of communication with the Sector Lord and his sister. We will attach a permanent Astartes advisor to the court who will consult Gration.
c) We are the protectors of the Sector Lord, who is still young and has much to learn. Our advisor will sit on the meetings of the Sector Council as a voting member.
d) This Sector belongs to the Sector Lord and Sector Lord belongs to the Chapter. Initiate him as an honorary Ghost, after all he has to obey the commands of the Chapter Master.

Since nobody seems to have an opinion I'd say:
We were the guys who saved him from the slums, the lads who lifted him upon the throne and the men who took up his education in warfare.
We made a man out of him in literally every sense, I'm pretty sure some sergeant was smart enough to send a pretty female chapter serf to him as well throughout his time with us.
He may not officially be a ghost, but he probably comes the closest from all mortals.

>>2296253
If Lucas Xerant is a key to a major power in the sector, then we must win him.
Send a message through an astropath offering a negotiation. We would offer the tithe reuired to maintain their guardsmen plus some extra to ensure growth and prosperity.
In return, we ask that they support the Belisarian dynasty and put all their differences behind for the sake of their prosperity and profit.

>>2296253
>c) We are the protectors of the Sector Lord, who is still young and has much to learn. Our advisor will sit on the meetings of the Sector Council as a voting member.
This is most similar to what I think other chapters do (e.g. White Consuls) and I'd rather not get that bogged down in sector management as part of this quest. Go play something else like House and Dominion if you like it that much.

>>2296365
It's more about not being everybody's footstool anymore and for that we kinda need to be able to have a voice in things, we can just abstain on most issues if we really want to and refrain from casting our vote unless it's about things that matter to the sector's safety.

He's been pinged by the Inquisition counter-psychic detachment that was monitoring High Lord communications for psychic interference. We have no definitive proof, but it seems that he was dabbling in some sort of low level sorcery and by accident hit a gold mine that he wasn't supposed to. It seems that the elimination order came from someone managing High Lord's communications, not High Lord himself, but that is bad enough. You get to keep him and he gets to keep his title and powers, but you are responsible for his every single action. His death warrant hasn't been cancelled, only permanently suspended.

>4 captured Honour Guard marines
After Cagirates interrogates them (under the supervision of a Librarian, just in case), it appears that they are very confused and almost shell-shocked. You assume that they must be feeling withdrawal from the severance of their almost symbiotic relationship with their 'wives' in addition to the psychological trauma of at the same time fighting against their brothers and their fellow Honour Guards being killed. Cagirates suggests following options:
a) Full amnesty. It is time for the Chapter to heal the scars.
b) Penitence within the Chapter. It is not the first time that the brothers of the Chapter have transgressed. Maybe it's time to create a unit within the brotherhood that would allow our sinful brethren to pay for their sins? Other Chapters often use penitent brothers for hazardous duty or suicide missions, we could consider this.
c) Penitence outside the Chapter. With witches' hold on them destroyed, they have their own free will to pay for their sins. Send them to scout the Grave, hunt down Deidara or to infiltrate Styrian Triarchy, let them make themselves useful.

>How do the witches feel about what's happened?
From the few that you have managed to capture alive it seems that none of them were high ranking enough to known the greater plans that Deidara weaved, but they seem to have been true believers, rather than thralls. However now after this defeat their confidence is destroyed.

Emperor damn it yes. Larion sent a request to Drakkon to come visit to palace immediately following the coup. To draw Drakkon away from his forces before the ultimatum was given.

If that can no longer be done, the only option I can see is Larion going there with marines and arbites and delivering the message personally, and ensuring his will as the outgoing sector governor is enforced.
I assume it's a demotion yes? So Drakkon can still be an Athenian General.

Larion as to ensure that he's still the patriarch of his dynasty once he's officially removed.

"I believe that particular agreement was struck by the Belisarian Dynasty, Canoness Engel. The leadership we have just reinstalled who are descended from Saint Belisarius himself. I see no reason to go to war with a faction that causes us no trouble, when worshippers of the dark powers - the greatest enemy of all - fester both on our borders and within Subsector Tyranus itself. Not to mention the much more problematic ork hordes that dwell throughout the sector.

Look at the state of sector Deus. We have a renegade human empire, multiple orknoid worlds and empires, the Kruk Alliance, the Xo'nads, the Cygnoid Coalition, Pirates, Chaos Reavers, and an damned warp storm in our midst. Plenty of foes for your order to direct its righteous fury towards.

The eldar are a slumbering bee hive. With a strength we can only guess at. I do not believe it would be wide leadership to seek out conflict with them."

>yes, they should be dead, but kill the dozen other threats first
Objectively untrue though, Wuxide is not biel-tan. Having them around actually helps us against massive out-of-sector invaders since they fight them too.

>Objectively untrue though,
So? We'll never solve the other problems while Engels is still alive, so why would it matter?
She's human, she won't live forever.

Also might be a good time to give Engel the gift of 413 rubies on gold pendants.

+Merchant League+
Lord Brumm is very happy to hear from you:
>Well, well, well, of course the League would be more than happy to support the Astartes in your quest to protect the Imperium. As a matter of fact we are willing not only provide better rates of investment for the Chapter, but I convinced Merchant League to provide the Chapter with a decennial tribute. It will still have to be voted upon by our shareholders, but as long as it will be deemed that your actions defended the Imperium and helped our business, your Chapter will benefit greatly. We are talking... Greatly.
a) Thank you for the offer, but we don't do lobbying.
b) We accept the offer. [+100W (varies) every 10 years]
c) If you want to buy our favour, you will have to do better than that - we are interested in a fixed annual tribute. [+10W every year]

>>2296880
Garant helps you out:
>Space Marine Lord is right, we don't have the strength to deal with this issue at this point. Let us concentrate on the threats at hand.
Nonetheless it didn't look good that you defended the Eldar. [+2 Heresy]

+Alliance+
As the people who helped you to topple Ursus' regime leave the room, you realise that the alliance you built is now gone. It was too big and the competing interests are too different. However it worked well enough and long enough to get the job done and that's what matters. You will still have good relationships with all of the factions, but now it's back to business as normal with inter-factional politics taking over. However it was a valuable experience for the Chapter Master.

She is making sure that Astartes take the brunt of the dying during the upcoming war. That's what wise leadership is, after all.

+Sector Treasury+
When your men took over the palace, you received access to Sector Treasury. The vaults where liquid assets are kept contain a lot of Wealth. Did you loot any of it?
a) No, we are above it.
b) Just skim off the top, nobody will notice and our reputation should remain intact. [+100 W]
c) Chapter has the right to seek compensation for the blood spilled and equipment destroyed. We shall claim a quarter of this as ours. [+500W]
d) We deserve to be rewarded for the overthrow of the Ursus regime, let's claim half of the Treasury [+1000W]
e) Treasury was destroyed in a fire during the battle, because two Thunderhawks smashed into the towers where the valuables were located. [+2500W]

>c) If you want to buy our favour, you will have to do better than that - we are interested in a fixed annual tribute. [+10W every year]
Makes me feel bad, but I'm confident in our(read: not luigi's) ability to roll

>She is making sure that Astartes take the brunt of the dying during the upcoming war. That's what wise leadership is, after all.
Eh, understandable.

>>2296950
>b) We accept the offer. [+100W (varies) every 10 years]
"Thank you very much Lord Brumm. Sector stability and security is our primary concern after all.

>b) Just skim off the top, nobody will notice and our reputation should remain intact. [+100 W]
We took the brunt of the pain. Not a single sororitas or arbitrator paid their lives for this.
On the other hand we don't want to look greedy.

Either:

Or:
>c) Chapter has the right to seek compensation for the blood spilled and equipment destroyed. We shall claim a quarter of this as ours. [+500W]
But openly instead of making it a secret.
Of course, the wealth will only be used to profit the Imperium by strengthening our fighting force and making the sector safer.

Sorry, fell asleep. Thanks for running skarg.

It's always good to have money, but i they start doing some stupid shit we cut this tie immediately.

In case somebody starts asking where the missing wealth went and they start asking pointed questions, we can still tell them to fuck off since we were the ones who bled and didn't require any official recompensation.

Brothers! The Emperor is very disappointed in all of you. The correct answer is:

>a) No, we are above it.

I feel bad now.
I guess that money might be needed to help prop up infrastructure in the post-coup shake up. Taking even a little bit could hurt people.
