t was the morning after the Governor's party.
You didn't get laid and you weren't hungover, but it was not entirely wasted trip. You did get into a fight after all and you procured yourself some serious hardware, along with some stuff you're probably never going to read, but might become valuable when you go to another planet where these books don't yet exist on.

The barracks were bustling with soldiers lining up for their morning recaf as you were arguing with some uppity corporal who had gotten high off his shitty little mosquito wings of a rank.
"THIS IS A MILITARY BARRACKS, NOT YOUR PERSONAL STORE ROOM! I DON'T CARE WHERE THE FUCK YOU GOT AN TWIN-LINKED AUTOCANNON-"
"A Storm Autocannon."
"SHUT UP! I OUTRANK YOU, DO YOU WANT TO BE WRITTEN DOWN FOR INSUBORDINATION?!?"
"Go ahead Corporal, see how that goes for you."
He then storms off, obviously going off to tattle to his superiors.
You of course neglected to mention to him that you're not exactly a specialist anymore. Your applications to the drop troopers and for officer training were accepted, along with the request for a week of personal leave.
You were now a sergeant in training, so you technically outranked him.

Still, the guy had a point. All the guns were taking a whole lot of room. Yes, you were an ace and everything, but this still was a military barracks. You had to give away some extra hats as well to your neighbors, just to smooth out the deal. You'll probably have to pay extra when you leave this planet just to transport your shit at this rate. You also need to work out something once you get transferred to the drop trooper barracks, hopefully they'll have more space, if not... Well, more bribes you reckon.

>(You have lost 1x Rebel Hat and 1x Aviator Hat in bribes due to lack of personal space.)

Hell, there's also thae hololithic database you recently got from the Governor, which fills up an entire backback. As you were pondering about your logistical circumstances and buildup of shit you have accumulated, a familiar face approached you.

"Want a Recaf?"
It was one of Klaus' new squaddies, Greg, approaching you with an extra mug.
"Well, since you went out of your way..."
"Gotta drink it while it lasts. If the warpstorm isn't gone by the end of the month, they'll start rationing it."
"Well, so long as we're not in stuck in the ass end of Imperium for a second age of strife."
He he gives a nervous nod
"Yea... I see you've gotten some stiff hardware in case that happens."
"Retains its value better than gold."
"Well, my leave is ending today. I'll tell Klaus you said hi."
"Work is work. Good luck with whatever you guys are doing out there."
"Same to you as well." He says as he destroys the contents of his mug with impressive speed.
"I'm gonna make sure my shit is together and do some last moment shopping before my time comes."
You nodded at him as he retreated to his own corner of the barracks.

For the coming week, you'd be spending your evenings on your studies within one of the many educational institutes on the city before embarking on a journey of self-study during your deployment, but for the time being, you had some time to kill.

All of the above.
1. Find a storage for all the junk,maybe the quartermasters storage can help.
2.Go see the Rodgers womenfolk and pay debts.
3. Ask them if they like to join you for a shopping trip. (We need to buy local trinkets,some common commemorative coins,computer chips,repair tools.)

>>4880707
>The womenfolk from Rodgers family supposedly came to the capital. Maybe you should settle that debt?

Debts are bad and unimperial.

>>4880707
>Do some shopping in the city. Shit, you've got money. Probably could purchase most things that are on sale in this city. (specify what sort of products you'd seek to )
CAMERA! A FUCKING VIDEO CAMERA!

>Try to figure out some sort of storage solution to keep low ranking anal goblins from throwing hissy fits.
Easy to have things go missing if we don't do this soon.

>The womenfolk from Rodgers family supposedly came to the capital. Maybe you should settle that debt?

We can bribe our fellows to allow us to keep our store of weapons. We can talk to the quartermaster or foodmaster or whatever, and ask what's foods stuffs we're low on.

>>4880919
You don't actually need to eat.

>>4880707
>The womenfolk from Rodgers family supposedly came to the capital. Maybe you should settle that debt?
A good Solar Auxilia never leaves a debt unpaid, probably. I don't fucking know. Hopefully we don't end up having to bring three maiden worlds into the Emperor's Fold while we're there, we have hero shit to do.

>>4880940
But it would be good to keep up appearances that we do, and food tastes yummy.

>>4880940
But other food do, and people will like the fact we got them extra supplies of recaf when we eventually run out.

>>4880707
>The womenfolk from Rodgers family supposedly came to the capital. Maybe you should settle that debt?
I am a good imperial subject that does its debts

>>4881081
We shall buy the favor and ever lasting loyalty of our fellow ODSTs through the most sacred and ancient of soldierly traditions, decent rations and amenities. I mean honestly if we can get ourselves eventually a frigate sized vessel which is meant as a mobile result and replenishment vessel with top of the line DOT facilities and food processing so we can have a unending supply of coffee and steak I would be happy

I've just the entirety of the quest and I have to say... How THE FUCK are we this much of a fucking chad holy shit?

>>4882224
Dice mostly. Plus the whole Perpetual thing. Those nat 1's at the start of the hive really pulled us through.

>>4882295
I'm a little bit sad we didn't go for the Mujahideen Guerilla path with the Colonel and his buddies, but the sheer badassery that carried us through the Hive was insane. Wouldn't surprise me if we become a legend that last for ten thousand years on this planet.

>>4882316
We'll create a cult following where worshippers will sacrifice hats to our name, via immolation. We'll hate it.

>>4882316
Nah not that big of a deal. Likely mostly forgotten in a few hundred years. Plus the HH has a *lot* of whacky shit going on that dwarfs our little stunt.

We'll start out from the ladies and go from there.

As an aside, how much (if anything) do we know about the Alpha Legion?
Do we know that they're kinda sketchy and confusing or is that something a Solar Auxilia grunt wouldn't know?

>>4882911
They appeared without mention or notice, sliced a station's control and gave it to us, then got escorted to our command.

And then suddenly, everyone is being searched b everything on suspicion of clones, shapeshifters and face stealers.

>>4882911
You personally don't even know the name of the legion, not that it's surprising, seeing that the less the legion cares about their public image, the less you'd actually hear about them because they're a military formation first and foremost.

However, what you in character know is the following.
- The dude sliced the station's control and handed it to you
- Went to have a meeting with your higher ups
- The station he hacked started going crazy, issuing an evacuation order and the tech-priests you saved were left to suffer death by radiation
- The station's own vox arrays were used to block the communications on the station according to the tech-priest
- The previous planetary governor got murdered (according to Sneeb)
- There's a good chance he also killed your marshal (according to Sneeb)
- They've started meticulous genetic testing for infiltrators
- Another ship, not bearing the colors of the space marine appeared in the system, presumed hostile until confirmed friendly

>>4883025
When is Sneeb gonna open up Sneeb's Sneed & Feed?

>>4883045
This is M31, so it's still owned by Chuck.

>Reunion with the village people

[1/3]

After finishing off your recaf and depositing the mug to the washer, you took your little permission slip and left the military compound, heading towards a hotel in the upper-middle hive, the address of which had been sent to you by the governor's lackeys, along with instructions reminding you to treat the existence of the refugees as classified matter until the it is formally publicized, and that the failure to do so may lead to severe repercussions.

The city was, as one would expect, bustling with people. You got some looks from people as you took public transport in your uniform, but overall, you're not the first soldier to be on leave. Hell, the year was bound to end soon, far as Imperial calendars could be trusted anyways. It's always hard to tell if the day is the same at the other end of the galaxy or not.

Were it a more peaceful time, perhaps this city would be draped in more decorations for the celebration to the end of the Age of Strife and the beginning of our two-hundred year Crusade. The Imperial banners flew from the windows of most houses, to such an extent as private citizens would bother to. Few embers of festivity glowed in the sea of dreary routine of a city at war.

Though despite all the troubles the world was facing, the governor at least manages to keep the public transport running crisp and on the clock. Leaving the tram behind, you stepped out on the high roads leading to a mid-section of a tall spire, built around one of the city's enormous support structures. The exterior of the building was not too discernible from a regular hotel you'd find on the hive, save for the armed policemen standing guard outside, attempting to look inconspicuous.

As you approached the door, they gave you a nod and spoke something on their commbeads, likely keeping an eye on whomever came and went.

Inside the lobby, there were plenty of people, wearing a fashion typical you'd see on the Freelander's Town, women chatting and going through some papers on the comfortable looking seating as the children were either playing, watching the big-screen, or sleeping next to their mothers.

Approaching the female receptionist at the counter, you stated your business.
"Hello, I'm here to look for a certain family whom I owe some money to. Might you be able to help me with that? They should by surname Rodgers."
"We'll see... What did you say your name was again?"
"Aren Seion!?"
You heard an elderly woman exclaim from behind you. Turning your head, you recognized her face, she was the spouse of the man who cut you open. Deborah Noko, the gravekeeper's wife.
"Oh, hello. Long time no see."
The receptionist types something on her terminal
"I'll let them know you've inquired to see them Mr.Seion."

"How is it that you're here? Of all the places?"
"Well, I got some time off thanks to some good work I did, so I reckoned I'd pay back the money I owed to the Rodgers family while I'm nearby."
"How did you know we were here?"
"Well, I have some friends in high places who tipped me off."
You say, giving a knowing smirk.
"So, can you help me out here? Kinda was looking for-"

"Mommy! It's the man on TV!"
Only now you noticed, the thing running on the TV were actually clips of the interview you gave, mishmashed with some video footage of you climbing out of the gun-cutter and authorities dragging the lord mayor away, kicking and screaming as the reporter narrated in a calm and collected manner over the footage which had it's audio cut off.

+ "...I saw a guncutter revving up its engines, had to move fast. There were guards shooting, but there was no time to deal with them, I was going full throttle with my jetpack and only barely hit the vessel with my grapnel as it started accelerating." +

"So that's why you went missing!"
"Yea... That does sound like something I might have done last week."
The crowd in the lobby all started looking at you, curiously as you chatted to the older woman.
"Look, I'm just here to pay my debts, you don't mind giving me a hand?"
"Of course, I know where their room is! Comecomecome!"
She then starts beckoning you towards the elevators as some people break off the crowd and start watch you leave.
"So, Jeremiah still around?"
"He... joined the war effort as an assistant chirurgeon, saying that the living needed him more than the dead. Freelander's town is mostly deserted now. The men grabbed what they needed and went to war, the women grabbed whatever we could and came here. We've been trying to send applications to arms manufacturers and organize some volunteers to help raise the morale."
"Well, I'm sure the lads at the front will appreciate that. So, uh... An awful lot of people here seem to recognize me. Anything I should do about that?"
"Oh, don't worry, most of the members of the book-club know about your circumstances, so you don't need to be nervous around them."
....not really what you were talking about
"I'd be more careful about those Rodgers ladies, they've a reputation, you know. Colonel's been loath to discipline them, so they've broken many hearts of the boys in the town."
"...Sure, I'll uh... keep that in mind."

The old woman guided you through the carpeted hallways, lit by bright glow-globes, stopping at a white door, numbered with a brass plate, identical to so many others in the hallway. After knocking, you were greeted by another familiar face. The Colonel's wife, not looking all too pleased at seeing the old woman.
"Hello Martha, I bring to you good news."

"Look Deborah, me and my girls are quite tired after the trip, so..."
She then takes one look at you with a tired face.
"Oh. Sorry, please, do come in."
"Not you." She bluntly tells to the older woman who was about to enter whom harrumphs in reply as she turns towards you.
"I see I'm not wanted here. Take care Mr. Seion."
The colonel's wife rolls her eyes at the old woman as she closes the door in front of her.
"That woman will take all your free time if you let her..."
As you entered, you took a look at the accommodations the governor had bestowed upon these people. Better than your barracks, that's for damn sure. Roomier and more tastefully furnished too, and far as hotel rooms went, this was actually a pretty damn good one.
At the living room, you saw three girls piled on the sofa on their pajamas in front of the screen, watching the clip where you wrestled down that roided up duelist back at the party. Unadulterated sweaty, shirtless man-on-man beefcake action, grunting, groaning and roaring testosterone at each other.

Their mother claps her hands.
"Girls! We have a guest."
As one, they all turned their heads to see your smug face.
"Oh, hi!" The horse girl Emily quipped. "You're on the news!"
"I'm aware." You replied smugly
"Wow, you've gotten bigger!" Joy exclaims, looking at your ripped physique
"I'm aware."
"That's crazy!" Sandy says pointing at the screen. "You're crazy!"
"Well, I did have a few drinks that night before wrestling that guy."
"Not what I was talking about!"
"Anyway, I understand that I owed you some money for the horse?"
"Ah. Yea, sorry about that, we kinda gave Kazakh away." Emily states from behind the couch.
"Pardon?"
"Well, all the men were going off to war, and we couldn't exactly bring him with us on the train, I asked, so he was taken by dad's Warhost. We did bring your bag though! And I can try and get you another one later if you want for the same price if you want!"
"I don't suppose you could get me a horses that can handle an orbital deep strike? I'm kinda in the drop troopers now."
"Hah!" She giggles "You'd need to get some ridiculous augments to pull that off. Horses don't handle falls too well."
"So you're saying it's possible?"
"Well, sure, if you can get the same sort of implants as the Tupelov Lancers have. They're the only ones I've heard to be crazy enough to try and pull off an orbital cavalry charge."
Hmmmm... That's an interesting idea
"That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard." Sandy replies
"So, in regards to the debt then?"
"Unless you want to press me to get you another horse, I'd call it settled."

Are you fine with this?

>Nah, I still want a pony, even if I can't drop it from orbit.

Regarding shopping, you motherfuckers have obviously never encountered the terrifying force of nature that is whimsical or spoilt girls given free reign over a bank card.

>Yea, it's fine... It's not like I wanted a pony anyways. *sob*

>>4883196
they can't exactly store it anywhere

>>4883211
Hidden caches, buried around their properties and their little village, around landmarks and locations they are very familiar with like a forest or river area that they spent a lot of time around.

>>4883131
>Nah, I still want a pony, even if I can't drop it from orbit.
I'll name it Buttercup!

>>4883219
Err... they're on this city as refugees, albeit secretly, so they're stuck here until the entire war thing blows over.

>>4883219
I indeed mean as the QM pointed out. >>4883245

They have a hotel room.

Basically, the Governor got them free indefinite stay on one of the hotels in his city to help keep the veterans and their families loyal to the cause.

>>4883196
There's no indication that the Capitol is going to be cut off for a long time though. Every hive on this planet is completely self-sufficient on food and power.

All the info on how things went after we left.

>>4883863
Well, I'm sure the Dictator heir of the entire planet whose main problems seem to be stemming from traitors would never be so callous as to utilize families of a militia organization he personally propped up at no small cost to himself, as hostages to, make sure he has an armed group with absolute loyalty and combat experience at his beck and call.

Now that just doesn't sound like something a dictator struggling to keep a hold on his power would do, you know?

I mean people say we won’t be able to keep it but the scouts also bought horses and will keep them so just use the same stables they get for their horses. Horse bros stick together

>>4883992
They're not using stables. They're roaming the wilderness, doing scout shit. If they need to keep the animals in one place, they either use rope or construct some sort of enclosure on site.

> Lots of things at same time.

"Guess the horse business is settled then. So, what happened in the town after I left?"
"It all happened very quickly. The... ahem. Book-club people organized most of it. Every man and boy able to hold a weapon enlisted on the war-effort, every vehicle and weapon was taken for the warhost, all supplies that could be carried were taken to war."
The Matron of the Rodgers family replied on a sad tone.
"Whatever valuable we could carry, we brought with us when the Governor's men smuggled us into the city. What we couldn't? We hid away or destroyed. There's nothing left there but abandoned houses. Freelander's town is now a town of ghosts."
"The trip seems to have gone well enough at least, you're all here and alive."
"Yes. Alive. The trip was frightening. Come dark, we slipped through on a route we were told was secure, not sure if we'd be chased or not until we finally made it to the train, cramming inside it fast as we could so we could be on our way that much sooner.

Not their responsibility plus storing a 2 meter double-barrel Storm autocannon in their living room seems a bit much.

We will see further down on the line to Heresy. Overall, you're pretty much ahead of the curve in terms of strength at the moment.

Granted, lot of that came from the high grade gear you were sporting.
Should point out that once you reach 60 on any individual characteristic, I'm going to be dropping the amount of skill-ups you get from that to +2 instead of +5.

After 80, I might drop it to just +1 depending on how fast you keep scoring those hundies.

>>4885867
We better keep training hard if we want to reach P E A K performance then.

>>4885867
Does that include bonuses from talents or tutors? Will they get diminishes too?

>>4885965
It’s hard to get tutors when you’ve reached the actual peak of what Humans can do.

>>4886020
Astartes and Magos as tutors.

>>4886020
We can and should focus on our weakpoints where we can. Our perception is shit and our willpower and fellowship are only mediocre, which is BAD. Even though we've basically been a gigachad caricature with how well we've ass-pulled ourselves this entire quest we can't rely on that to get ahead. Developing our skills would also be a good way to improve. Not everything is stats. Athletics or Dodge would make things a lot easier for us.

>>4886069
This. I would also appreciate it if anons considered actually taking bonuses to stealth or perception checks next time it comes up. We're not Astartes, and even if we can perform somewhat at their level in terms of strength we are still only human, with all the squishiness it entails. A true Warrior trains his mind just as much as his body.

Should probably tell you I am currently on an island south of Finnish coast in middle of a storm. Don't worry, this is intentional and I am not breaking any laws.

It just means access to electricity and internet is not guarantee for couple of days because technically its not legal to establish permanent habitation here.

> Let's start with the storage plan.

This will be done on the background at an unspecified point in time, but I think it's good idea to decide on doing this beforehand due to scheduling issues.

Like so many things on this planet, the hive's storage company is run by an almost total monopoly. The only company which turns up in the public data terminals when you search for storage space in the hive boasts of being the only official government sanctioned storage rental and sales business in the city.

Despite the monopoly status, the rates they offer their services however, are quite reasonable even forthe local budget, depending on where the storage space was located.

The rates by which they bought back unused storage sites however were quite outrageous, offering only 50% back on the base purchase value regardless of the level of city the property was purchased on, upper or lower hive.

The rates went up higher depending on which part of the hive you wished your storage container to be situated at. The lower the level, the cheaper the price and the poorer the neighborhood. All storage sites had remote surveillance in case of a break-in attempt, but the company took no responsibility for stolen goods beyond calling the authorities when trespassers were detected.

There would almost certainly be some unofficial storage rental services in the city somewhere, but you weren't exactly keen to look for a stranger offering you a shady deal on storing your expensive shit, so you had to deal with the monopoly prices.

>>4886649
> Medium Vehicle Storage - Base cost: 90 TG/month or 250 000 TG purchase price.
> #7th level Upper hive plan - ( 150% cost )

Rent.

my thinking is that we can rent or give it or use it for long term storage in the event of Warp time dilation and those we are allied with would have a secure place to store things and use in our absence. After all if we own it and get thrown 5 thousand or 10 thousand years into the future as long as the hive stands we should still have it and not had our bank account drained dry over the millennia. After all we also are going to need multiple storage places around the galaxy if we want to save shit from the grasp of Chaos, and cant really do that as a renter

if we rent this storage for 1,000 years we owe over a million gelts so if we get sent thousands of years into the future we will have no money or goodies left

>>4886719
But we would still have to pay for the more secure one, or pay a million thrones for it. That Hive Hiedt job was a once in a while kind of gig, and we're not going to be payed millions of throne belts again anytime soon. We need to invest smartly.

>>4886744
Why not just take our shit with us instead of leaving it on a planet?

>>4886687
You or someone once mentioned that we could bury some schematics then come back for it a thousand years later and claim its archeotech, but could would do the same if we went looting on a space hulk and showed everyone a schematic "we just found"? Due to warp fuckery, a hulk could be in the warp for who knows how long.

>>4886760
the problem with taking shit with us when we leave is that we are most likely limited in what we can take with us on the ship out. After all i highly doubt that quarter master would be cool with us taking personnel sentinels, Weapons and archeotech with us and take up storage room if only we can use them. After all space on ships is at a premium already and that isnt even getting into what happens if we have to abandon ship. everything we couldnt fit in our hands or shuttle gone. Having ground side storage places are critical. Plus we could charge the family say 20 Gelts a year to store stuff, much better rate than anyone else, to make a small but tidy profit when we are gone adn we could easily partition off our section before we leave. After all if we get thrown hundreds or thousands of years into the future then that adds up

>>4886774
That's a fair good point, but I'd hate to deal with storage management in the future, and having to travel all the way through the warp to this one planet for this one thing. What I'm sure of. Is that we will rank up enough in the SA where we could probably get away with taking a vast majority of our war gear with us.
Theres also the problem of things changing on planets we leave. Maybe everything is still there when we leave, maybe the management changes and someone breaks into our secure storage units. The latter is what I'm worries about.

>>4886649
Buy
> Medium Vehicle Storage
> #4th level Midhive plan
We want something that's not so far down that it gets robbed, but not so far up that we have to worry about busybodies. Also when we get rich enough we're not going to worry about one shed full of gear anyway.

>>4886789
I mean i feel that if this quest goes on long enough where we reach the point where we have our own ship then we could just do a time skip of a year in which we went around gathering all our hidden caches and while management might be a bit annoying we could also just keep it to one a Sector to keep it simple.

Also i dont think we are going to get our own ship command for a while yet, not at least till we are 3 years into the HH or something has gone real wrong

>>4886809
If we're so keen on buying a storage unit, why not wait a little longer to see how things play out first, to se if it's worth investing? Renting sounds like a much safer choice.

>>4886649
>Light
We dont have anything that needs bigger.

>4th, rent.
I don't want to keep this, after we leave, we leave.
Especially since these things probably have a "use it or lose it" law.

>>4886649
> Large Vehicle Storage - Base cost: 175 TG/month or 485 000 TG purchase price.
> Storage size: 10x30m ( Can barely park a Two Banebladee inside it. )
> #7th level Upper hive plan - ( 150% cost )

I'm not sure if I understood it but if we can just pay 175 TG a month for it instead of buying it right away it would be better, but if we have to buy it it doesn't matter, it's not even 1 million TG.

>>4886789
You can always pay for space on the transport ships when the time comes.

We should also equip the ventilator for off duty shinanigence.

>>4887588
Rent also increases in price. If you rent the storage for 175 and it has +150% cost increase, it's 437.5 TG a month.
Granted, if you tried to buy it, it would be 1,212,500 TG.

Also, fun fact had you actually asked the Governor for a base of operations, you would have gotten an apartment worth couple million in the upper hive.

The cost of the education materials and the books are actually less than 20 000 TG in total, and you never actually needed the governor to buy copies of library archives, because this is still M31, and you're not a serf to be crushed under the bootheel in order to extract value out of.

>>4887903
Oh well. It's not like the war's going to last for years, one way or another.

>>4887891
Oh yeah that's reasonable assumption that you carry the thing around as personal defense weapon.

>>4887905
Coulda still sold it for profit later. Anyway, monetarily speaking the two most expensive choices you could have requested were the apartment and a suit of power armor.

Granted, the added benefit of asking such meager things means he is also not expecting as much back from you in terms of a return investment.

Had he thrown few millions of worth of assets on you, he might have tried to rope you on another suicide mission, since you seem to be decent at those.

>>4887910
Even if you're not permitted to carry them around, you can still stick it in the back of your pants with your shirt over it, then act like you ain't got it.

Works a stupid amount IRL, especially when people are not searching for a weapon on you.

>>4887932
Nobody is going to care if a dude in Varangonian uniform carries around a gun so long as you submit to genetic screenings when asked and don't try to bring it to a place with VIPs.

It's kinda like how cops don't stop army guys carrying around guns. They might ask a few questions if they're just hanging around, but mostly out of curiosity.

+ you're a actually reputable enough to not get prosecuted on minor infractions even if some idiot pushed their luck.

Alright, so you're going for a 10x10m storage area.

This is going to cost either 625 000 TG to purchase the storage area permanently, or 225 TG a month to store your possessions in.

If you purchase a car or a motorcycle or something along those lines, you can also store it here. It is also legal to run a business from the storage, but there's no toilet and it's not exactly on a prime spot for opening a store.

Anyways choose which you want to do.

If I had good reason to believe we would be staying long term on this planet, I might've been inclined to buy a permanent storage area. However we're in Heresy era as a Solar Auxillia Mercenary, we are bound to get passed around like a town whore when shit really hits the fan.

The rates by which they bought back unused storage sites however were quite outrageous, offering only 50% back on the base purchase value regardless of the level of city the property was purchased on, upper or lower hive.

>>4888064
0less than half!

>>4888064
50% of the BASE price. Pretty fugged. Unless we plan to use the same storage for 250 years we might as well just rent. Probably off the rock in a decade anyway.

So when we get thrown through the warp a couple hundred or thousand years we won’t be a broke bitch

>>4888183
You keep saying that. Why do you keep saying that?

What possible idea gives you the notion that we are getting hurled through time while we are planet bound, or that we will not be cancelling this rent as soon as we are about to leave the planet.

>>4888201
Because warp time fuckery is only way I can see us going any meaningful length of time into the future. I mean besides a time skip warp time dilation is most obvious and likely way we end up in the future

>>4888206
So we'll timeskip.

And even if so, why would we not cancel the rent thing as we leave, so that it specifically doesn't drain our accounts.

>>4888213
Because we don’t have a ship of our own to take our stuff with us? I mean do you think that the quartermaster would be ok with us taking Sentinels, weapons, archeotech, etc and storing it on the ship for us. Space on ships is a premium and until we are much higher on the food chain we won’t get the privilege of having more storage space than a locked or 2. We need places to store shit that we can just come back to and ground side storage in the capital hive which we own in perpetuity is safest we could get.

"So, anyone feel like wanting to celebrate getting to live another day by finding someplace good to eat and doing some shopping? I've got a few things I need to buy, and seeing you just got settled in, I reckon you could do with a trip to the market."
"Yes, yes, yes a million times yes!" Emily replied eagerly full of excitement.
"Mom, we need so many things! Change clothes, feminine products, swimsuits, snacks..." Joy continued
"Come on mom! We're finally in the big city! Let's head out!" Sandy chimed in

The matron of the family gave a stern look to her children in response.
"...Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on our budget. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here, and I'll not have us go broke on buying overpriced stuff on from the markets."
"Yess!" The three girls celebrated in unison as they scattered to their rooms in order to get themselves ready for the bout of spontaneous outing.
"They've been wanting to visit the hives for a while now." The tired parent replied.
"Charles was never was too happy with the idea before, but seeing we're stuck here..."
"Ready to go!" The girls chirped impatiently as they poured out of their rooms on after another, ready to roam the greatest concentration of Imperial goods and culture in the entire starsystem.

After quick transit to the railway station, you took a trip to the main planetary hotspot, both for locals and travelers. That location was the Starport terminal area, more accurately, the market district near it, which boasted the planet's only dedicated market for Imperial imports.

Upon arriving the zone, you saw people wearing many different fashions from across the Imperium as well as a lot of off-duty soldiers, both from the Varangonians and from the local PDF, browsing the goods which could not be gotten anywhere else on the planet.

There were of course, goods of local manufacture also being sold and not everything was outrageously expensive. Many things were on sale fitting for different price brackets, including those of the lower income families, granted everyone always wanted to look at the fancy stuff.

Forge-world technology was after all desired by one and all, as were the unique products of various archeotech worlds. Vesser had lot of catching up to do in order to match Necromunda and the other hives made during the age of technology.

The girls were excitedly looking for all the exotic sights and sounds left and right, seemingly having something new catch their eye at nearly ever few dozen meters as you wandered about the markets.

"No fair, if she gets one, I want one as well!" Sandy pouted
"I've wanted one of those things for since way before you two even saw them on your soap operas." Joy stated, somewhat offended.
The Matron gave one look at the price. 1300TG for the cheapest model and around 2000TG for a intermediate models with Mars Pattern craftsmanship going for 5500TG.
Needless to say, it was a vain hope for the girls to each get one of these things at the snap of a finger.

You knew of these devices, not because you actually were tech-savvy, but because you had seen a pissed off Discipline Master whip the skin off the back of a dumbass recruit for causing a major security breach with one of those things and making sure everyone knew why the fuck the guy was being punished.

+++ Explaining Tech! +++
+ Civilian Communicators +

+ An Imperial Civilian Communicator is a relatively advanced vox-messaging device, which is capable of establishing a wireless datalink for audiovisual communication as well as operating as a miniature data-slate for images and text. Some are equipped with miniature pict recorders.
+ Unlike common phones, the device does not necessarily require a service provider. Instead, you simply need to share an encryption key to establish a datalink to another owner of a device capable of vox communications. The range isn't infinite however and varies greatly depending on planetary conditions. However, within a 200 kilometer range, they are reasonably reliable and the range can be boosted through a vox relay service when available.
+ The encryption on these devices is relatively weak, and can be broken by just about any cogitator savvy person, allowing conversationa to be spied upon by most every tech priest worth their salt, provided they cared to do so.
+ These devices are highly coveted by most civilians in the galaxy due to their usefulness and scarcity. They are a major source of revenue to the worlds advanced enough to manufacture them.
+ Though usually permissible, the Imperial Army has strict regulations relating to use of these devices due to the obvious security risk they might pose if not handled carefully. Breaking Vox-silence is punishable by a summary execution at the discretion of the Discipline Master, and every owner of such a device is expected to take full responsibility to not jeopardize military operations with them, sometimes with their lives.

It's basically a smartphone without internet.

"We'll get the cheapest one, and that's to share so we can call between the hotel and each other whenever we need to."
The girls look very disappointed at the notion of being unable to get their high tech gadgets.

Of course, if you wanted to, you could buy a hundred Mars-pattern communicators and you'd still have over 9 million Throne Gelt left, assuming they had that many at stock.

Though you didn't have an obligation to do so, you could buy each of them one as thanks for letting you remain as their guest for a while and for not selling you out to rebels.
Of course, you also had an ongoing fling with Sandy on the background...

As the girls tried to plead their mom to at least not get the cheapest one, you took a look of the selection.

You wondered whether or not you should get one for yourself. They were expensive, but at the same time they were reasonably useful in case you needed to establish civilian contacts.

Fucking post. I had meant to say "The ultramar models are a mark up due to the name association with the 500 worlds, as well as the spreadsheet calculation function, which the girls don't need due to being guests of the governor, not still on the farm. An extra 4k for functionality they don't need is just bad buying sense"

I would have gone for the Ultramar model for the Rodgers, but very thought of giving that xeno lover Roboute money make me queasy.

>>4890784
Why do you want to buy both the most expensive and wasteful option?

Ultramar is bad, mars pattern is worse.

>>4890793
My thought about why Ultramar was bad had nothing to do with price though.

>>4890799
Your protest of the Ultramarine's primarch over a phone, [which is silly, since it's manufactured FOR the realm of ultramar, not BY them] is not my concern. My concern is price vs fucntionality.

You don't get farmers a battleship or carpenters sports bicycles. So why would you give the refugee's in a hive city expensive calculators when they have a pen and paper or datapad.

You've then one upped it, and gone for mars pattern and given them personal computers. My question is why waste the money on features they don't need?

I'd say go for Economy models, but that's a byword for "cheap" in both quality and price.

>>4890806

These ones are probably more secure and safe, we won't really be able to upgrade them later. Get one for their mother too, but make sure they understand the potential security risks so they don't talk about sensitive things with them laying around the room like husband comes home and starts talking about insurgency stuff.

>>4890806
Hmm this post brought up the possibility that they might get stolen from them. Probably easy to track, but I bet they can be locked with passwords and biometric security features.

If we're buying them some tablets, do you guys think we should try and get some favors out of them, like tutoring? Maybe the horse sister could teach us how to ride mounts better, or maybe they could ask their vet uncles and friends to give us more free lessons. Granted they'd probably teach us things regardless but you guys know what I mean.

>>4891290
They've sold off their horses and close down and abandoned their estate. Sometimes its best to "purchase" social capital and good will without asking anything in return directly. We can probably ask for something down the line that is more situationally useful than an immediate favor right now.

>>4891273
Hmm, maybe this works better as to not spoil them but I think its already locked in to buy them all top of the line stuff.

>>4890793

While we're shopping, can we buy some Mars pattern sunglasses? Are there mars pattern servo skulls, auspexs, or power packs we could purchase?

>>4891516
Err... I don't think your physiology is very compatible with ocular implantation.

>>4891516
However, you might be able to find a cybernetic familiar, like a grapplehawk or a cybermastiff, albeit you'd need to roll some dice to actually find one since those are reasonably rare.

This world doesn't utilize servitors extensively, not as of yet anyway.

There will be a point when I ask you to list up some stuff you would like to get relatively soon, so feel free fo think of a list of things. Handheld Auspex is also one of those things that might be carried by specialist stores.

>>4891524

Admech sunglasses go directly into your retinas. That's what I was referring to, and yea, servo skulls, albeit in this case probably not skulls due to their symbolic significance, but rather simply a hovering cybernetic familiar with the same feature set is potentially achievable.

>>4891533
Wh40k does not have internet beyond planetary level and very rarely do they exist in a form where the average civilian is allowed to post stuff there. It's mostly read only and when you can interact with stuff, it's mostly through forms nobody else can read.

Closest thing to a functioning internet is within hands of the Mechanicus in regards to the Noosphere, which isn't actually a thing yet for most Mechanicus guys because it was discovered at end of great crusade.

Dont see a reason not to make friends. Plus the cost is trivial for us and recouped within a few weeks of active duty. Question though - any way we can beef up the security on our own communicator? Also, getting a not!Servo Skull is a great idea.

>>4891588
You would need someone tech-savvy to know that.

>>4891596
The Enginseer that's a part of our regiment. He must be around somewhere.

>>4891588
I can tell you this much though from what the sales agent can tell you.
The more powerful comms device you got, the more advanced encryption you can run (which is why military vox casters are often size of a backpack)

Theoretically, if you had a scholastic lore cryptography, you could probably make a non-standard signal encryption and with tech lore you could make signals harder to intercept.

Every vox signal that's been recorded can eventually be cracked though, issue is just time and processing power.

>>4891588
We can make friends using the cheapest line of communicators. While the Mars pattern is the best type around, the girls and their family don't need all the extra bells and whistles if they're not expected to use all the features, least any time soon in the foreseeable future. It's not a smart financial decision if we continue this habit of paying for the most expensive option present to us, not to mention they'd still be happy to have any sort of communicators, specifically the Economy Model. Buying that should gain the same levels of gratitude as the Mars pattern.

>>4891601
Do these communicators have functions like phones? Apps, cameras, adapters,etc.

We go out eating and I buy you a McD cheeseburger, then eat a filet mignon in front of you. I think you will find you value the two differently.

Common Lore: Tech roll for some basics on what would be needed to crack the Mars pattern devices? As in, can it be done with a military backpack Vox or do you need a facility with stationary cogitators type deal.

>It's basically a smartphone without internet.
>+ An Imperial Civilian Communicator is a relatively advanced vox-messaging device, which is capable of establishing a wireless datalink for audiovisual communication as well as operating as a miniature data-slate for images and text. Some are equipped with miniature pict recorders.

>>4891605
Yes, they're basically pocket computers and they come with lot of different software, which beyond factory standard stuff, is largery region specific.

If you wanted to access local datanet with one, you theoretically could do this, but you'd need a vox tower that offers that kind of service to do it wirelessly.

Data transfer speeds on all these are fairly slow wirelessly though, but video and images can be sent from phone to phone.

Yea, why not. Chump change for you anyways. You could make that much in a month doing active combat of moderate danger levels and you had more money than you knew what to do with.
"Listen, how about you let me handle this one? After all, you guys took care of me for a while with no small risk to yourselves when you didn't have to. Besides, I've recently gotten my paycheck anyways."
"Oh, we couldn't..."
The mother protests
"Nonsense. I insist, although I don't intend to make this a habit. Wait here, I'll get you some toys."
You said as you entered into the store, being practically humped by the personnel the moment you opened the door.
"Hi, welcome, what can we do for you?"
Wasting no time, you got to the meat of the business.
"Yea, I was wondering, how many of those Mars pattern communicators do you have on stock?"
"We're going through the last dozen, likely won't have anymore tomorrow unless you get some now."
"Perfect, I'll take five."
Giving a shiteating grin, happy as a clam, the greasy salesman clasps his hands.
"That will be 27 500 Throne Gelt, is that alright with you?"
"Wouldn't be asking if it wasn't."
"Of course sir! Very good, let me just get your order for you."
The Man disappeared on the back, bringing five VERY thoroughly sealed containers bearing the insignia of the Cult Mechanicus along with a hefty line of various certification and check markers on the thin plasteel boxes they were stored in.
"Now every single one of these comes with a warranty that covers certified techpriest repairs for the next ten years at any cult mechanicus temples, free of charge."
"Sounds good."
"Additionally, since you're making such a hefty purchase, we're giving you a 300 TG gift card for our store, and a box of complementary sweets. If you have any problems with our products, simply come here and let us know and we'll handle the rest."
"Alright, fair enough, ring me up. Can I have them in five separate bags?"
"Of course Sir, anything for a big spender like you."

After burning through enough money to purchase quite a good car, you came out of the store with plethora of bags containing the communication devices.
"Got em."
"Oh thank you so much! I always ALWAYS wanted a communicator!" Joy exclaimed as she dashed for a hug the moment you got out of the store.
The girls jumped all over you happy and excited like a puppies in a pantry
"Which ones did you got?!" Emily inquired, hyper as fuck
"Now now, settle down." You said, handing the mother her bag first (hierarhy is a thing, you know), whom then proceeded to peek inside, her eyes widening as she turned back to look at you.
"You're joking?"

The girls started squealing as they took a look at what was inside their bags.
"This is the most expensive model! How can you afford this?" Sandy asked with her eyes popping from her head as she took a look at her gift.
"Well I obviously got a bonus for the work I did at back at the hive."
"Oh, I just wanna go back home and tear into this package right now!" Joy giddily said as she hugged her package tight to her chest.
"Ohmygoshohmygosh!" Emily was being exceptionally giddy about her piece of high-end equipment.

"You didn't need to do this." The mother told you, being somewhat reluctant to receive such a gift.
"I know, but I wanted to. I repay my debts, in the good and in the bad."
"I don't think a few nights at the guest room is worth all this."
Well, that and you also fucked one of her daughters to oblivion and back, not sure how to put a price on that.
"Well, don't get used to it. I don't intend to buy everything you guys want, this was a one-time thing."

As you resumed walking on the big city, the girls kept peeking at the fancy toys they were carrying, each costing over three times more than the money they tried to sell a warhorse to you for, considering they're not exactly running on 100% profit margin, they're probably one of the most expensive things the girls ever owned personally.

As you drifted about the city you stopped on a grocery store for some mundane items four ladies living together needed in their daily lives.

You also had a few opportunities to look for various other things to spend your money on from military hardware stores to the simple recaf, all the way to vehicles. Seeing you had storage space to keep them for your deployment, you could always get yourself a car or a bike for the duration of your stay.

Of course, when you didn't need to use it, you could always let the Rodgers girls borrow it, not that there was issues with public transit.

Ah, Pysber familiars are animals which the cult mechanicus cyborgs and then connects to your mind through special technology so you share a mental connection, letting you see through them or command them without words for a range about. . [in mechanical terms a km per our willpower bonus, so about 3km].
The downside is they are fragile as shit, and if they die then we get the feedback, which can give us insanity or stun us in the middle of a firefight. It's just generally not worth it for us.

WOO, CYBER COMPANIONS.
While I'm not intimately familiar with that types exists in 30k, in 40k there are things like large cyber hunting dogs and several type of mechanical birds of prey. Since we fucking suck at stealth, I say we aim for something that gives us some long range tactical scouting ability like a Raven. If these Cyber Creatures don't function like that, we go for something more heavy, like a Falcon or something.

Also stock up on Recaf so we can trade it for hats when rationing starts.

>>4891821
Well, I mean they can just be programmed to follow you around. You won't get the psychic link, it's just basically a servitor in form of an animal or a drone.

>>4891827
They don't give us any benefits, mechancially because we are not a psyker.

But they can serve as attack beings [they shouldn't, they fucking suck for that] or long range scouts as you elaborated on like Corvids and hawks.

>>4891829
Ah, that's significantly worse then. Yeah no, I'd heavily recommend against this method. Immensely, completely against it.

>>4891827
A flying servo-creature with an auspex scanner is pretty common, albeit you probably could also requisition one from the army depending on mission requirements.

Granted, these creatures aren't particularly smart or durable, so it's not unexpected for them to get blasted to shit pretty quickly after spotting enemies.

Oh, and we will have to hide our supplies well. If the stash is found, we're fucked because they will plunder it and if the upper ranks catch wind of it, they may decide to hang us by price gouging laws and offer us the option of "donation" or punishment

>>4891833
>you probably could also requisition one from the army depending on mission requirements.
So we'd be paying out of pocket for something considered somewhat expendable by the army and that has a low chance of survival in an actual combat situation.

Not gonna lie, I still do want a birb companion and going looking for one never hurts, we don't need to buy one. I understand that the notion of 'Tech Heresy' is distinctly related to 40k, but this is the Great Crusade Era and the Cogboys ought to be more receptive here towards modifications to existing tech. We've got an in with the Martian Priesthood in the sector, maybe we could commission some upgrades for it if we decide to get one. Increased durability, enhanced sensors that sort of thing. Heck, if its to get it wholly/partly coated in Cameleoline it'd be pratically fucking invisible and an invaluable scouting tool.

This planet doesn't really manufacture servitors or maintain too many on stock die to the relatively low amount of active Mechanicum priests on the world.

Why buy one, when the army might provide one?
The Aloha Snackbar drone idea sounds good if the creature can stealth, which I very much doubt it can. Plus it would be a very expensive bomb, where would could instead Rambo people instead.

>>4892228
Depends on how expensive they are. Having a security drone able to do long-range scanning and record things from the top of a tree seems useful enough to warrant some expenditure even if we might get it for free 60% of the time.

>>4892232
When would they be useful outside of missions, and why?

>>4892247
"depending on mission requirements" as in we will not be able to rec a not!Servoskull every time, in which case the wallmart version would come in handy. Outside deployment, getting info on movement around us is still useful, as is auspex and scan functionality. Could have spotted the Malal worshippers sooner if we had had a Servoskull on patrol.

>>4892228
>Why buy one, when the army might provide one?
Because the Army probably won't let us use one while we're either off duty or stationed in a position where we can't argue we're in need of one. Having a foldable robot bird recon plan on our hip at all times has literally no downsides.

Besides we just bough so many fucking guns on a whim, more guns than we can possible carry at the same time, guns that are so big we needed a seperate fucking storage location for them. We bought these despite the fact we havn't fired a single bullet this whole quest. Why the fuck would we need to buy guns anyway, can't we just get our guns "provided by the Military" too?
That's right, we bought them because "they might be useful later". It's the same with this purchase.

>>4892255
I mean, a GC-era Eldar Blaster 3000 will only gain value over time. A commercial basic bitch auspex bot probably will not. Whether these are #worth depends on the price.

Though the shape and layout of wheels vary quite a lot, there's not much difference on the actual performance of the vehicles in this category.
Equipped with a fairly simple and durable prometheum engine and not a whole lot else as standard, it gets you and your family from point A to B reasonably quickly.
Hive Vector is capable of producing and maintaining these vehicles and they make up a substantial part of the civilian exports.

The company which trades in these vehicles, does so with quite generous terms. Cost of a basic four seater model is 10 000 brand new, and 9 000 for a refurbished used one.

Used Road Wheelers you can return for around 8000 Thrones, provided they're in pristine condition. If there's some repair work or cleaning up needed, they will substract the value from the price, or in extreme cases, just give you the price for salvaged spare parts.

It is generally seen as a sign of prestige for lower class families being able to own a road wheeler rather than a motorized rickshaw.

This five wheeled vehicle is essentially a bike with a four wheeled metal cart at the back. It is light, open topped and rough around the edges, equipped with an underpowered engine. It is cheap and favored by denizens of the underhives to whom budget is everything.

This vehicle doesn't have too many safety features, it simply exists as means of getting around to the very bottom of society, even if it's not very far or very fast. It's basically a motorized rickshaw with seats.

The Company selling these buys them back at 3000 TG on average, provided they're on good condition (usually they're not), and sells refurbished ones at 4000 TG and new ones for 5000 TG.

These kinds of vehicles are the most common form of private transportation in the Imperium due to them being affordable to even the poorest working class citizens of civilized worlds. Even on uncivilized worlds, the primitive peoples sometimes maintain such vehicles.


+ Royce Benz Salon Royale +
> 125 000 TG

This import vehicle is built for both luxury and security.
It is essentially an armored limousine and possesses a discreet pop-up turret mount at the back for mounting a heavy weapon on (sold separately).

There are no used variants of this model being sold, all of them are essentially brand new, albeit if you wished to sell the vehicle, provided it still runs and is intact, they'd probably offer a 100 000 for a used one, no questions asked.

This vehicle is mostly driven by wealthy people and retired officers. Seeing that the middle-class hive workers make around 12k a year on average, this vehicle is way out of the price range of most people.

>Are there other types of vehicles you would like to look at, or would you like to pick from this selection?

What kind of half-track? Are we talking about like half-track motorcycle, armored car? unarmored farmer truck size? a proper truck?

Help me out here, that's a pretty broad definition. Give me a pitch on the purpose you want it for.

>>4893269
Military vehicles like that would likely be taken by the PDF straight off the factory, presuming any were made, meaning best you could hope for is like farming equipment.

>>4893299
You mean like a Hummer or a Cybertruck? Probably somewhere on the 40-60k range depending on specifics.

I assume you just want like a big car that can stop like standard Autogun and pistol rounds.

Can we buy a big car, then just modify it later with a tech check? A limousine is a bit long.

+ Deltorado Armored Off-road transport +
>45 000 TG

Chugs through prometheum like nobody's business, has an angry engine capable of delivering enough power to move the vehicle through most difficult terrain.

This particular type of vehicle is often used by wealthy people who happen to like loud and powerful cars and aren't worried about the constant chugging of prometheum.

It is powerful enough to have seen service as snow clearing vehicle by Imperial settlers on hostile worlds.

This vehicle comes unarmed stock and doesn't possess a turret mount.

>>4893336
Can it be modified to be less loud, more promerheum efficient, and have a pop-up turret mount?

>>4893328
That's honestly medium tank frontal armor range to stop autocannon rounds.

Light tanks and sentinels can stop heavy stubber rounds fairly reliably, so long as said rounds are just standard.

>>4893340
Anything is possible with high enough skills. Granted, your wright skills are fairly low atm, so drafting up such designs may end up causing a lot of damage on the vehicle.

Why do we even need an armored truck? Not like we will be driving it into combat.

This better come with three axles and an Aquila flag. Also the resale value is moot since we will be sitting on the vehicle for centuries. Point is to get it into a historic/unique value item. Plus the gun turret seems neat. Throw in a minifridge for Amasec.

>>4893345
Could we just spend the time planning out the designs first until we create one that wont do more damage than goods, then apply the modifications?

>>4893359
Its disgustingly expensive though, and I dont know about resale value in a few millenia. I'd be down to buying it if QM can confirm this.

>>4893366
Firstly, its the kool-kids-klub car. Secondly we have people shilling Bix Buxx for old Ford models today. Now imagine how much people would pay for an Egyptian luxury car with a built-in mangonel from the 1200s.

>>4893366
Cars vary in value from world to world, albeit as an import car, it should have similar value so long as you find a buyer in most places of the galaxy.

Of course, not everything needs to be traded in Throne Gelt. They might just trade some equipment instead. Royce Benz is a relatively well known luxury car manufacturer in the Imperium as it shows up in some movies and parades.

Now if we are talking about just shit that's valuable because it's old? Yes, largely this remains true in the Imperium as well to an extent.

Imperial history is revered, at least the agreed upon narrative. Possessing anything dating to the time when Emperor walked along mortals is a sign of tremendous prestige and such objects are coveted more and more by collectors as millennia pass.

If we are talking about say, Rogue Traders given opportunity to bid on a Great Crusade Era luxury car in M41, you might end up with a feud between houses emerging over something like that.
