Instead, there stands a man made of metal. The figure looks about 10 feet tall, and is sculpted in the fashion of a Chinese warrior. It assumes a fighting position. Olympian cracks his knuckles, a 10 foot tall metal man is right up his alley, "I, for one, am comforted by the fact that despite his apparent hatred of the modern day, Dr. Wu is a Black Sabbath fan."

Drhoz Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Slightly short on quotable quotes this week, since four of the six players couldn't make it. That said, I'm quite pleased with the session, since Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu lead a fleet of seven cruisers into the Logician-occupied C-6751246 Ji Xiu system, and barely escaped with his life. In the months it took the Rose Tattoo to catch up with the Explorator Fleet - their borrowed Navigator proceeding very cautiously through uncharted space, after all - Marzu had plenty of time to research possible weapons against the Logicians, and interrogate the deadly X-I Cogitator Unit that got them in so much trouble originally. Some of the weapons are rather heretical, but then Marzu has an alarming amount of sympathy for the Logician cause - the Adeptus Mechanicus' abhorrence of progress really is holding humanity back. Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : When I'm in charge of the Cult of Mars, things will be different! Very careful questioning and data-mining of the X-1 reveals secrets that are almost as alarming. Not only do time-stamps suggest is it dates from the time of the Horus Heresy or earlier, he confirms that it was once the core cogitator of a Man of Iron - and one specially commissioned from the Cult of Mars for an unidentified Primarch of the Space Marines. It's also almost completely full of image files of alien texts and documents. Psyker Xanthis Raytheon OOC : Somebody downloaded a lot of porn then. This is extremely worrying - not only can they not tell whether the robot was made for the Loyalist or Traitor factions during that apocalyptic war, they have no idea what these alien books are, why they are so important, or how it ended up on Zayth, or in the hands of the presumably late Rogue Trader Bel Ingeneri. Further reflection leads Marzu to wonder just what horrible surprises the Logicians will have in store for them, even assuming the Space Marines don't come down on him with both feet for stealing their most ancient of secrets. Psyker Xanthis Raytheon OOC : What's that sound? Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu OOC : Could be impending doom. Now properly paranoid, Marzu sets new orders for his erstwhile crew - open entering real space they are to immediately ready weapons and scan the surrounding void with a fine tooth comb. For one thing he doesn't trust the Stryxis not to have immediately run off to the Logicians to sell them the Rose Tattoo's destination. Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : Anybody who fails to carry out these orders will be fired. From the starboard cannon. During one of the more difficult warp jumps, Marzu takes Xanthis to one side to enquire exactly how a psyker manages to get this far into the Expanse without a chaperone. Xanthis claimed that the Orks killed them all the Whyteman's Burden. Certain doubts are raised about this story, by the three ghosts in Scholastica Psykana uniforms that stare and point accusingly at Xanthis from behind his back. Marzu has certain problems with similar warp phenomena, suffering flashbacks to his first encounter with the Logicians, and ends up shooting the hell out of one of the Rose Tattoo's corridors. All aboard are highly relieved when the warp storm clear enough for them to safely re-enter real space. Psyker Xanthis Raytheon : At least we didn't have any more possessed ten-year-old girls to worry about. Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : Yeah, I'm still picking off bits of the last one. The Magos in charge of Explorator Fleet X-120-Rho welcomes Marzu aboard, and the two exchange pleasantries and congratulations. Magos Vilchis : 11001010010010011100010010010 Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : 00010010100100100001010 Magos Vilchis : 10001000101110010? Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : 11000C:// Magos Vilchis : LOL Acting Captain/Tech-Priest Marzu : ROFL Things get markedly less pleasant when Marzu hands over the co-ordinates of the C-6751246 Ji Xiu system, because according to the AdMech charts, that star has no planets. This implies that somebody high up in the Explorator Corps deleted the planet from the charts with nobody noticing, to ensure nobody had any excuse to visit the star. GM : Much more believable than deleting an entire star system, but leaving all its gravitational effects in the chart. I mean, a five-year-old could see through that. Meanwhile, Xanthis is making friends with some of the other people in the room - a bald and elderly man with kindly eyes and dull black outfit, accompanied by a small horde of scribes and bored-looking stormtroopers. Man in Black : First time aboard an AdMech vessel? Xanthis : Yes, I'm afraid so. Man in Black : Would you like me to arrange some refreshments? I suspect our hosts will be at this for some time. Xanthis : Yes, thank you, that would be nice. I'm Xanthis Raytheon, by the way. Pleased to meet you. Man in Black : Where are my manners, I should have introduced myself first - Konstantin Lammergeier of the God-Emperor's Most Holy Inquisition. Xanthis : F*** Inquisitor Lammergeier takes Xanthis aside for a polite conversation about how he got involved in all this, what he knows and thinks about all the officers of the Rose Tattoo, and what exactly happened to Lord-Captain van Baroque to leave Marzu in charge. Xanthis makes the fatal error of lying about some of it, to an Inquisitor's face. If you think he'll get away with this, you're as naive as he was. Marzu distracts Vilchis from his new-found paranoia by bringing up the matter of van Baroque's medical condition. Vilchis agrees that rebuilding him as a servitor would be a good use of human resources, and suggests a few improvements to Marzu's design. Magos Vilchis : The boltgun you intend to attach to his skull would cause unacceptable recoil - we should install two supplementary spines. Marzu also makes his choice from the various surveyed worlds on offer for destroying the Reclaimator. He selects one with a primitive atmosphere, native algae, and highly radioactive natural nuclear reactors in every estuary. Such Oklo pools suggest valuable mineral resources. GM : This other one is promising for colonisation, apart from being a waterworld. Marzu : Does Kevin Costner live there? Xanthis : We could film a terrible movie! Lammergeier transfers himself and his acolytes to the Rose Tattoo. Given what happens to the AdMech fleet later, this is just as well. Upon entering the C-6751246 Ji Xiu system, Marzu surveillance spots two enemy cruisers matching velocities with the Reclaimator's hulk, now halfway across the system, and four raiders escorting a lumbering mass hauler trying to reach the breakout point on the far side of the sun. Unfortunately, they also spot the Rose Tattoo and the six AdMech cruisers, and the cruisers and raiders soon turn to fight. To the horror of the Imperials, the heretek cruisers blow two of the AdMech cruisers to fragments in the first exchange of fire, and the survivors are soon fleeing for the edge of the system before the cruisers can turn around and catch up. Xanthis : Jesus Christ! GM : That should be 'God-Emperor!' or 'Throne!' Xanthis : Whoops, sorry. GM : Yes, you're already in enough trouble with that Inquisitor. Rescuing the utterly traumatised Magos from the wreck of his cruiser, and after consultation with the Inquisitor, the surviving ships jump back into Warp Space, circle around the system, and re-emerge to target that lumbering Mass Hauler - clearly the most important personnel are trying to evacuate the system. But shortly after re-emergence Xanthis, Adrik, and the Inquisitor's pet psyker all clutch at their temples, suffering a sudden psychic pain. Xanthis : There's no content to the pulse... Inquisitor : But that doesn't mean it isn't a signal... Marzu : Orders? Inquisitor: It's a trap. Get us out of here. Helmsman : Captain? I'm getting a warp breakout signal.. make that two.. four! The Imperial ships scatter, because a squadron of four Meritech raiders was in warp space just outside the star system, waiting for anybody who thought the mass hauler was easy meat. One of the Admech Cruisers, damaged in the fight earlier, is too slow, and is blown apart by volleys of vortex missiles. The Rose Tattoo manages to destroy two of the raiders in turn, before fleeing for the break-out point just ahead of the vengeful Logicians. But despite some damage to the Rose Tattoo, Marzu and the rest get away, having learned they're going to need some heavy reinforcement before they dare attempt a second foray into C-6751246 Ji Xiu...
