I'm going to bed for 4 hours, Anon. Don't let this thread die while I'm out.

>>12307862
This quest still has some ways to go

>>12307838

AAIGHT , lets settle down for a quick rest until the headache goes away , then we're off
also , take this time to examine our psykana knife

Can we name your bolter?

I suggest Wellingtonworth

Fuck this bullshit quest thread bullshit fuck it.

Tessa- I don't know what will happen from this point forward. But I know one thing- we cannot fail. Whatever happens to us, whatever we have to endure: well, if it is done in His name, then I must accept this sin to prevent future evil.
Tessa- I may not be around much longer....
Even if we both manage to survive- well, you know what the official stance is for sisters touched by the warp.
I just wanted to say, I love you Tessa. I always have, and I always will- no matter what may happen to us.

>>12307862
seconding this sentiment.

>>12307838
8 am here, I guess it's time to call it a night. Don't get us or Tessa killed. Good luck.

I second the notion for Esme to rest her head on Tessas shoulders

>>12307919
NO i dont know of the stance the sororitas has on same sex couples , but we need to realize , regardless, she was raped by slaaneshi cultists

anything even remotely related to sex or love will set off a flashback of her getting filled in orifices you dont wanna get filled , and this in turn will turn her into useless dead wieght mindlessly mumbling the litany of purity

>>12307898

What about Kensington? Can we name it Kensington?

>>12307963
Sorotias is okay with same sex couples
Just as long as you're thinking about the Emprah while you're doing it, it's alllright

We should make a mental note to get a mammogram done after this quest

Just in case we've contracted chaos breast cancer and we get a BAD END epilogue

>let's rest our head on her shoulder.
>>12307881
You rest for a bit longer, your head slumping down onto Tessa's shoulder. She doesn't seem to mind... or is just ignoring you. Either way, the cool ceramite and flexsteel of her power armor feels good on your aching head.

After several minutes you grudgingly pick your head back up, taking the knife off your belt. You turn the ornate weapon over in your hands. The hilt and guard is plated in gold and shaped like a fleur de lys... which is odd... Why would a force weapon...

You shake your head. Its not what your looking for right now. You examine the blade itself, other than its force properties there really isn't anything significant about it.

>>12307963

and if you recall she was missing her EYES... because of SLAANESHI CULTISTS...

>.> am i the only one who sees the HORROR in this?

>>12308066
Wait wait wait- go back
Why would the weapon have the symbol of the Sisters of Battle on it?

>>12308066

It's a daemon weapon in disguise! Destroy it!

>>12308087

I think Tzeentch had this all planned out. Either the sorcerer is toying with us or he be trollin teh sistahood and teh KAYOSS invasion.

>>12308109
no! its a gift from the emperor!
attach it to the end of our bolter and then git a move on

>>12308136
hey! stop using my name!

>>12307898

Wait wait.. what if we name our bolter 'Spleensplitter' ?

>>12308066
Well, whatever, even if it is a deamon weapon we can still use it to serve the good of the imperium.
But the second we don't need it anymore, we are going to have it checked and, if it doesn't smell right, destroyed

Inspect TESSA
what are her skills?
what weapons did she favor during training?
How is she feeling now?

>>12308158
ohfien your no fun OP

Hug Tom, er.. I mean Tessa

>>12308175

Tessa seems fine other than the fact she only has one eye and several scrapes and bruises.

You remember her favoring heavy weapons in training and she was especially fond of the evicerator. Physically she was very strong and could swing it with deadly accuracy.

>>12308158
I'd say tripfagging as a quest op is one of the few legitimate uses of the trip system.

>>12308233

actually that wasn't me tripfagging but i'll keep that in mind for the future.

>>12308210
>>12308252
Was this you too?

>>12308277

Yeah had to reset google chrome because it was being a bitch. forgot to type the name back in :/

So where were we? I forget...

I wish we could get a Salamander teammate

>>12308289
>>12308312
Right, check with Tessa, see if she's ready to move, then make with haste to the comm center.
Try to remain stealthy

>>12308328
Tessa stands slowly, drawing her evicerator. she smiles, running one hand over the monstrous chainsword before moving quietly out the door.

You fallow her just as silently, weapons at the ready. You encounter few guards on your way, the first two you manage to avoid. The last one you manage to kill before he sounds an alarm.

You make it to the control room. It almost seems too easy.

The radio is fitted into a console. All there is is adjust it to frequency 96.4, a universal channel, and tell the canoness your findings.

This will prompt an attack, however, seeing as everyone will hear it. Best prepare yourself before then.

>>12308397
Are there any exits or entrances?
Can we block some off, rig them a couple of grenades to act as trip traps?
Also, check to make sure that there isn't anything wrong with the equipment.
(damnit, why couldn't our cannoness choose a channel not open to the public)

>>12308397
Is there a way to set up a recording that'll give us a minute or two to get to safety before it is broadcast?

>>12308397

okay this is obviously a trap , so get ready for psychic battle with the sorcerer and tell tessa to keep any traitor gaurd or cultists off of us

>>12308397
>>12308397
Let's call 140.15.

I saw it on the back of a disc case, it must be legit.

>>12308434
I LIKE THIS IDEA
LET'S PAIR IT WITH TRIPWIRE GRENADES

>>12308434
>>12308427

There is only one entrance to the room. Its meant to be secure in case of a siege. The room was also located on the top floor of the structure, meaning that a hole in the roof might make an air rescue possible.

You begin preparing a barricade for the metal door, giving a silent prayer of thanks to the emperor for the terrible armor penetration of lasguns.

Unfortunately you don't have any recording equipment with you, but you'll have to make due with a trap. You use your hair to make a thread, wedging the grenades into vents outside the door and tying your hair to the pin and stretching it across the hall. You *hope* this will work... You've never tried it before.

Quickly you make your way back inside and barricade the door. Tessa stands at attention nearby, muttering blessings over her evicerator.

>>12308565
Our power amour really doesn't have any kind of removeable recording equipment? If we survive we should requisition one.
Okay, after we've sent off the message, which should include our request for airborne extraction, we should:
A. Keep Tessa alive.
B. Survive.

>>12308565
Can we make it out onto the roof?
How about we pile some stuff up, check it out and see if we can make an escape route from there.

Look around you, can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?

>>12308618

How does one escape from the roof?

>>12308618
>>12308610

once your done barracading the door, there really isn't anything left to build a tower to freedom with.

You take a deep breath and approach the radio, picking up the mic with trembling hands.

"Canoness Galatea. This is Sister Esme. Request immediate evac from the fortress at..." You glance at the map next to you, reading off your coordinates.

The Canoness's voice comes back over the radio. "Dammit Esme! What are you doing broadcasting from an unsecured radio? What is the situ-"

You cut her off. "Everyone is tainted! Everyone! The others are all dead! Only Sister Tessa and I made it!"

The canoness was silent for a moment. "We are coming to get you, and we will drop exterminatus when your clear. Where should we pick you up?"

"We're on the top floor. We'll blow a hole in the roof once we hear your engines...." And after a moment. "There is a small group of people who were untouched by the chaos. I'll point you to them when we are in the air.Hurry Canoness. Ave Imperator!"

"Ave Imperator Esme..." And the line went dead.

>>12308565
We might also want to save some weak explosives, or pray that our plasma pistol will be strong enough, to break through the floor and allow us to drop down a floor if we can't be extracted fast enough before being overrun.

>>12308764
Are the remaining loyalist Guardsmen tainted as well? I'd hate to have them killed if they might be saved for their service to the emperor.

>>12308772

you still have an inferno pistol

>>12308764

Get into a better position to fire on anyone coming through the door and tell Tessa to GET READY!

Also pray to the Emperor

>>12308789
I always forget, is an inferno pistal a flamer or a melta?

>>12308800
Melta. A flame pistol is a Hand Flamer.

>>12308800
Melta

Check your knife, what's it doing?

"You ready for this Tessa?"

>>12308823
>>12308829

Thank you, both of you.

>>12308836
>>12308834
>>12308795

Tessa slides into a fighting stance, revving her chainsword to life. None too soon as an explosion rocks the tiny room, smoke rising from the bottom of the door accompanied by the anguished cries of dying men. The first grenade was a succe-

A second explosion rocked the room, accompanied by more cursing. The heavy footfalls had stopped now, the idiot guard moving slowly now, checking for more traps.

Finding none they reach the door a metalic droning sound and the smell of burning metal fill the room as they begin using a welding tool or something similar to cut through the door's hinges. It was slow going though.

>>12308886

grenade in the face!!!

Was the old thread archived?

>>12308903
Try to disrupt the welding activities.
How do we do that?

>>12308905

link to archive in the first post of this thread

(also vote up plz :P)

>>12308886

Wait until they're just about to break through the door and then release the wrath of your inferno pistol at it, melting the bastards

For the Emperor!

>>12308921

And while we wait quickly check on your knife... is it glowing? Is the sorceror nearby?

Oh and what is Tessa doing?

>>12308932
>>12308921

You reach down and check the knife, it glows as soon as your hand wraps around the hilt, your newfound witch-sight expanding your senses.

You sense rather than see Tessa draw her plasma pistol in her free hand and aim it at the door. You do the same with your inferno pistol, sheathing the knife and holding the bolter in the other hand. You were close enough that accuracy was not going to be an issue.

Less than a minute later, the door gave partway, bending inward enough to let one or two guardsmen get in at once.

The gap slowly widened as the pressure from their bodies bent and moved the door further.

>>12308960

FIRE

See how they like having their flesh seared and fused into the door

Bitch

>>12308960
It's inferno time!

>>12308960

inb4 'Augh MAH SPLEEN!'

>>12308988
>>12308983

You both open fire at the door, the guardsmen's bodies quickly piling up, forcing them to clear the corpses before pressing on. Eventually they got smart and began pressing the door harder, getting more guard in there.

You are almost out of inferno pistol ammo. You still have plenty of bolter.

Tessa drops her plasma pistol as it gets hot, immediately resuming fire with her bolter.

You don't know how long you fought before the whine of a spaceship

>>12309014
Well, shit, get your ass in gear-
cover Tessa to make her escape and then pop a grenade (or anything that will explode, really) through the doorway before we leave for good measure

>>12309014

Backjog to the roof, dont stop firing on them

Also call for Tessa to follow

>>12309037

You were about to give an order to Tessa when she charged forward with her massive sword. "You take care of the roof! Emperor protect me!"

She screamed a battle cry cleaving three guardsmen in half with one swing. You aim your inferno pistol up, blasting a huge hole in the roof, revealing a hovering dropship.

Dropping the spent weapon you draw your powersword, fighting off the advancing guard that managed to get by Tessa.

The dropship extends a chain ladder through the hole.

>>12309086

Activate your rosarius, run down, grab Tessa by the damn Collar if you have to, grab onto that ladder, and GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

We wont leave her behind!

>>12309086
"DAMMIT TESSA I'M NOT LEAVING YOU BEHIND!"
Emperor damnit, we're both going to go for a "I'm impure, I must sacrifice myself for my beloved," schtick, aren't we?

>>12308078
Where she went she didn't need eyes to see.

>>12309113
>>12309112

You rush in and drag Tessa, still wildly swinging, to the ladder by the neck of her power armor, forcing her to grab the chain. The ship lifts you both away quickly, several lasgun shots glancing harmlessly off your powerarmor.

You chance one last look down and see a battle sister standing on the roof. Her armor is deep red, her sash black with gold trim. Its impossible to discern her features from such a distance, but her hair is black and thick.

The battle sisters on the ship reel you up. The Canoness herself is there and seems rather surprised at your condition!

Well. At Tessa's condition anyway.

A hospitaller was there in an instant, removing the soaked bandages and treating the empty socket.

The Canoness walks up to you. "You mentioned others..."

We must save Tessa so there can be hot Soritorias lesbo loving later

And if she turns out to be some tentacled daemon.. well... even better

>>12309181
"Those other then Tessa are either dead or lost- I'm afraid I had to administer the Emperors Mercy on sister Tarvil"

>>12309181
Did anyone else notice the sister standing on the rooftop?

>>12309181

Grab the Canoness and fire her at the heretics!

All is possible by the Emperor's will!

>>12309181
"Aye- surviving loyalists are hiding outside the city. I can't give you the exact coordinates, but I can lead you there."

>>12309207
Inform the Canoness about the sister standing on the rooftop in need of aid before we leave completely.

>>12309181

Quickly ask about the sister on the roof

If the canoness dodges the question we'll know to suspect her........ of SOMETHING!

Ask about the roof sister

Give directions to the survivors

Tell the Canoness that one of the survivors is a Psyker, and therefore suspicious (dont mention our own psyker abilities yet)

>>12309181

Miriael Sabathiel. May the Emperor have mercy on us all. She's a fomer Sister and a Chaos Lord.

If it's who I think it is.

>>12309196

Tessa shrugged off the hospitaller. "No she means the guardsmen."

Tessa ran to the cockpit, pointing down at the ground, the ship lisping heavily as it moved in near the cave.

The canoness looks at you. "Can you go in and get them Esme? They trust you. I'll cover your back." The canoness drew an elegant power mace and bolt pistol.

Guys should we confess our being a psyker bitch?

I dont think we should... this is a SURVIVAL quest after all

>>12309273
>>12309181
Not yet.
Be on guard for treachery.
From either our cannoness or the loyalist forces, I can't tell for certain yet.

>>12309289

You and the canoness drop down and rush into the cave. Argan and Boris rush to meet you.

"Emperor be praised! You're alive!"

Galatea stepped forward, speaking firmly. "Get everyone together. We have a dropship. We are going to exterminatus this planet.

Both men turned pale and rushed off motioning for you to follow.

>>12309343

Wait who's posting?

I am confused

And what happened to asking about the sister?

>>12309360

I reset google again. Sorry guys its 1:30 AM so if i screw up a little its just because my brain is partially shut down. No biggie.

And you didn't ask because the planet is about to explode and there are lives to save.

>>12309367

No way, that Sister is important

Grab that Canoness and scream 'Did you see her?'

From her reaction we can gauge whether she's trustworthy

>>12309367
RIGHT
SAVE DOSE LIVES
GET DE TRAUMATIZED GIRL
(discreetly inquire if Inquisitor friendly to psykers has any job openings)

>>12309388

You make a mental note to ask abut the inquisitor and the sister when your out of immediate danger.

You easily manage to gether everyone together, one of them had even taken the fleur de lys with their name on it from all the fallen sisters and presented them to the Canoness.

You enter the final room and find the psyker in the green cloak on the floor, foaming at the mouth. His eyes have rolled back into his head, babbling madly about Chaos.

>>12309499
Oh god he's gone all frothy; wait and see if he reacts toward anyone in particular.
If not, knock him out- he should be fine once we get off this goddamn rock

>>12309513

You attempt to approach him slowly but he rolls over, lashing out at your mind with his. You instinctively throw up a mental shield, the combination of witchkin abilities and your sororitas training deflecting his mental attack like a pellet gun off of power armor.

>>12309547
We're not going to have reveal our new found mental abilities are we?
Honestly- keep him busy long enough to knock him on the back of the heavy with something blunt and heavy

>>12309499

Cast Jaws of the World Wolf!

>>12309547

Kick him in the balls with your powered armoured foot

>>12309565

*The head
derp
So, yeah, keep combating him with our Sisterhood training and newfound skills (why aren't we affected by all this shit,anyways?)

The knife! Stab him with the knife!

>>12309588
>>12309565
(it will become clear in time little sororitas :P)

You pick up a rock and approach slowly, raising it to strike him on the head when a gunshot rings out through the mine, the psyker's head exploding.

You turn to see your Canoness there, bolt pistol in hand. "Suffer not the witch to live! Chaos was taking him. You should have shot him, but we will discuss this later."

She turned and walked away quickly, the Cloak of Saint Aspira fluttering behind her. "Hurry up Esme! We don't have time to waste!"

>>12309631

Grab onto the hem of her cloak and skip behind her like a flower girl singing praises to the Emperor!

Do it!

>>12309631
Oh goddamit- of course our chapter canonnes is a rightous, the god emperor will know his own, type.
Stare at the body for a few seconds, and then follow her, with a "Yes, mistress."

>>12309631

Apologise to the Cannoness for your moment of weakness

We dont want her suspicious of us

Give some lame excuse like 'I thought that if he'd fought the taint off before he could still be saved now'

>>12309652
The canoness boards the ship, standing just inside the doorway until you follow. She its a button hard, the hatch closing with a hiss.

She looked around and sighed, finding a large crate to sink down onto. "This is a disaster..." She gently massaged her temples, before reaching down and turning off the incense burner she kept around her waist.

She looked up at you. "Do you have any idea what happened?"

The dropship moved up, breaking through the atmosphere just as the first of the cyclonic torpedos were fired down at the planet.

>>12309707
"I would think the General would have more information then I- from what I learned apparently there was a minor warpstorm some time prior to our arrival, that led to extremely bizarre behavior but little actual daemonic phaenomena.
I don't know how the chaos worshipers were able to take out so many of our sisters so quickly, however."

>>12309707

Tell her about the ambush and how you were rescued... but leave out the bit about psyker powers for the moment

Ask about the roof bitch

Give her Tessa's story

And, again, ask for her forgiveness for earlier

Argh. I had to tend a social compromise for 6 hours and this shit advanced so much. It's not fair. Please, tell me it's archieved and that it's still going on.

Reading everything I missed. Please, tell me this has been archieved and it's still going on.

>>12309821
aye

TYPE FASTER OP

Bump

where the hell is OP?

OP has seriously got to post with a trip in future threads. That and say when he's leaving.

bump de bump

holy shit guys i'm sorry i was awake for a reeeealy long time and conked out. i cant believe this hasn't 404d

i love you all with a fiery passion! now LETS CONTINUE (if there is still anyone else here...)

>>12309821
its been archived and still going on.

This is gonna be pretty big you'll catch it again

>>12309734

"I'd have to speculate, Esme, that it was just the sheer number that overwhelmed our sisters..." She turned to you and claped you on the shoulder. "I'm glad though we didn't lose them all. And yes, I will talk to the general."

She seemed about to walk off, hesitating for a moment. "Do you know what happened to Sister Tessa? We are sending you both to medbay when we dock. We can treat her faster if we know what troubles her."

>>12313751

Waiting for your next update.

>>12313827
updated >.>

lo?

>>12313823
"I don't know what happened for sure, but I think it's obvious that cultists tortured her- badly. She lost an eye and has been scarred by their actions."

>>12313925
"she was kind of shaken up by the incident, but her faith remains pure,"

>>12313996
>>12313925
The canoness nodded, looking toward the door as the ship docked. The hull shuddered a bit as the planet below them finally gave out.

"It is not her faith that worries me. If her body has been tainted then we can't do much more than give her the emperor's peace... and i've seen enough dead sisters..."

She stood and walked to the door. "Report to medbay as soon as you can." and walked out of the room, leaving you alone.

>>12313996
Best answer we can give, I think.

>coneheads chaotic
Indeed captcha.

>>12314035
Could we use our warp-sight to check her for any corruption?

>>12314054

i'm not answering any more psykic power questions. you have to just try and find out what you do.

>>12314054

go try it. unless you want to go do something first.

>>12314151

Head to medbay, praying silently for our soul.

>>12314195

You walk slowly. Along the way the other sisters you encounter watch you out of the corner of their eye. You can hear their thoughts faintly, no where nearly as clear as the soldiers were.

Some thought you may be the next saint. Some thought you were a heretic. How could a mere novice come out of such an ordeal unscathed?

>>12314236

(posted too soon)

You arrive at medbay quickly. The hospitaller had just removed Tessa's armor, staring, eyes huge, at the mark of slaanesh carved into her torso, unsure of what to do.

>>12314251
It's the 41st millennium, don't tell me they can't replace that skin.

>>12314403

thats not what she's gasping about. its more the fact that a sister of battle has a mark of chaos carved into her >.>

>>12314251

(wat do?)

She ran to the com on the wall, calling for Galatea. In moments, the Canoness was there, accompanied by two Celestians wearing helmets.

The Canoness slowly approached Tessa, her hand straying instinctively to the bolt pistol on her waist. She watched the younger sister for a long moment, her eyes narrowing.

Tessa just sat there, her head hung, unspeaking, her lips drawn in a hard line.

>>12314454
Then we should remind her to thank the emperor for allowing her to tend for her sisters instead of being sent on the recon mission. Also, let's assure her that Tessa has proven her dedication to the throne beyond all doubt.

>>12314462
"Cannoness, there surely is a way to check if she has been tainted by the ruinous powers beyond their foul mark? She has served his will exemplary during my time of need on the planet."

>>12314514

The Canoness pursed her lips, glancing sidelong at you. "You knew she was marked, didn't you? She shouldn't have set foot on this ship before she was tested for corruption... It is a disease, Esme. It spreads like tainted fire through the hearts of weak men, women, and children. I want medbay locked down. I will see to her myself."

She ushered you and the hospitaller out of medbay. "Verity! Examine Esme while I take care of this."

She closed the door, hiding her and her celestians from view.

The hospitaller, still shaken, took you by the arm, leading you into another room in the medical wing.

>>12314403
they probably can replace the skin but it's usually not a good thing when someone is marked with the symbol of one of the dark gods. Of course neither is getting skull-fucked by the followers of said dark gods

>>12314650
Follow Hospitaller nurse Verity (That check-up is going to be horrible). Pray to the Emperor for Tessa, there's nothing else we can do right now.

>>12314696

(what makes you say that? :P)

Verity checks you for any signs of chaos and treats the bruises and scrapes you do have. She hooks you up to several monitors, frowning at the results.

"Your mental stress levels are extremely elevated. Would you like a sedative to calm down?"

>>12314750
"no thank you" now off to find our waifu!

>>12314750
"At the moment, I want to keep my head clear,"

>>12314750
>Sedative?

Decline.
"There is only the Emperor, and he shall grant me reprieve when he sees it fit. "

>>12314750
"I think I'll need to endure, for the emperors sake, at least until the debriefing is over."

>>12314845
>>12314826

She nods slowly, looking in the general direction of Tessa. "I understand... I'm sorry about Sister Tessa. It's probably best if you prepare for the worst, though I doubt the canoness will be done with her for a while. She'll surely call you in if she is to be executed. It may be best to find something to occupy yourself with until then."

She gently leads you out of the room and gives you a gentle nudge in the direction of... well the rest of the ship. You wander around for a short time before a chill runs down your spine, your extra senses setting off little alarms in your head.

You are out of melta ammo and you left your bolter somewhere else. You have a powersword.

>>12314939
OH GOD WAT DO
Is armory nearby? If so head to it, resupply.
If not- head towards where we sense the disturbance.
If we can't sense where the distrubance is coming from, head to tessa

>>12314939
>your extra senses setting off little alarms in your head.
Could you be more specific?

Anyway, we should probably make haste to the next armoury to resupply. And take a medkit this time.
Afterwards try to pinpoint whatever set off our alarms.

>>12314982 here.

>>12314966, please stop reading my thoughts.

>>12314966

You sense the disturbance coming from the corridor to the right. This path leads to the engine room and several maintenance areas. It's an ambush waiting to happen.

The walls are lined with a slight bit of rust and the distant clank of engineers working echos down the corridor. The engineers and mechanicus shouldn't be a problem for you. Many had never even seen the sisters of battle who ride the ship they keep in repair and as a result, the sisters cause them much fear.

>>12314939
I go look for and armory, inquiring (if I see anyone) Where the nearest would be. Also, do I still have the knife? If so, I subtly draw that and hide it against my forearm

>>12314966
>>12314982

you are NOWHERE near the armory.

Oh, and you have your knife.

>>12315018
Right, I draw the powersword, but keep it off, and hide the knife behind my forearm. Then i slowly advance into the Engine room, checking left and right.

>>12315018
Alright, cautiously approach the source of disturbance- use psykic powers to detect if anyone is sneaking up on us or lieing in wait for an ambush

>>12315032
Wouldn't it be rather hard to explain why we've slaughtered a bunch of crew members just after returning from a chaos infested world, probably suspected of bearing the taint of the ruinous powers inside us?

>>12315018
Are there any other sisters nearby?

>>12315053
Eh... we are, in principle, not going to kill any other crewmembers, are we? Just check out the disturbance, and if we are attacked... well... Fighting retreat I guess, then report. If we are attacked by crewmembers... hm... Videologs?

>>12315097
Or we might simply incapacitate them. We're a Sister of Battle, they're probably some crew hands looking to rob a few of their own. We should be able to handle the fight if it comes to one.

*making chart of what could happen so it ends up being more fun in the end. almost done. just another minute*

Strip naked and stick the powersword handle up our ass.
Then walk through the engine room door.

>>12315144
Oh gods, this should be good

>>12315035

You cautiously approach the door, clutching your powersword tightly. You open it, the door groaning loudly on its hinges from neglect to a huge room. Several dim lights barely illuminate faint shadows. Two power storage units dominate the room, towering over you so high you can't see their top. Between them is a dimly glowing console. There are boxes stacked to either side of the power units. To your right, several seem to have been smashed. You can barely see a hole in your floor to the left, sparks jumping out of it every so often. the far left wall has a pair of double doors. The far right wall has two doors. The floor is made of a metal grating that creaks when you walk on it.

>>12315403

don't forget to examine shit

>>12315403
Does our power armour have night vision, or at least some kind of flash light (non-weaponrised variety)?

>>12315403
I check the hole. Try prsages with my psychic powers. All the while, pray to the Emperor, pray to the Emperor.

>>12315431
We're sisters. We're lucky to have a helmet, which I think we don't so, yeah... no. And Auspexes are not built in into sister armor.

>>12315403
>>12315421
Examine the smashed boxes. Let's try to find out what was in them.

Call for backup. Fuck that shit.
Will help us get on the good side of the Canonness as well.

>scuffling flofned
Plus, if captcha is right, there is NO FUCKING WAY we should go up against a flofned alone...

>>12315471
Based on what? "Hey guys, there seems to be some damage to the ship, can I get a squad of troops here?" I think we'll be berrated for wasting resources.

>>12315471
Fool! SoBs eat Flofneds for breakfast, and that's just to work up an appetite!

>>12315488
It's a fucking flofned man, I'm sure of it!

>>12315462
>>12315439

You first check the hole. It leads down further than you can see. The wires looked chewed through and were sparking dangerously.

The boxes contain various types of equipment and replacement parts for the machinery. You find a flashlight, three extra batteries, and an engineer's walkie talkie.

You use a battery in the walkie talkie to get it working and turn the volume on low. You mostly get static but disturbing sounds play on several frequencies.

Your mental abilities are setting off more alarms in your brain, sharpening your senses and keeping you alert. They cannot pinpoint the source of your fear though.

Oh shit nids

>>12315550
Turn on the flashlight and shine it into the hole. Switch on comms "Cannones, it appears some... creature has damaged a section of the ship. A whole has beenm torn between decks. I'm in the Engine rooms. I will proceed to investigate. Request back up."

How big is this hole in the floor?

>>12315584

the floor panels are approximately 3ft by 3ft and there are a section of 4 missing. The floor panels look as if they had been removed, not torn out.

>>12315607
I toss one of the boxes into the hole, the heaviest, then follow it's descent with the torchlight.
Also >>12315575

>>12315622
>>12315575

Engineer walkie talkie. It only connects to other engineer walkie talkies.

Your flashlight cant quite reach the bottom, but you see something glinting back up at you from the dark. It vanishes after a moment.

You drop a box. It falls much further than where the glint was before landing with an echoing thud.

>>12315691
I still contact the cannones, then double back to try and find a staircase or elevator down. I'm not jumping. Also, keep looking out for an armory and tell any Navy provosts or sisters to come with me, giving them a resumed detailing of my finds.

>>12315691
Notify whoever is responsible in such situations. Volunteer to investigate (Maybe this will be a bit less combat heavy than our last mission? A bit of detective work amongst the crew perhaps?)

>>12315727
I mean, through my suits's comms. I should be in range for that now, shouldn't I? If not, I do the same, except without contacting the cannones.

>>12315727
Or report to someone at the very least that we think we saw something unnatural in the enginering spaces.

>>12315758
>>12315755
>>12315739
>>12315727

You speak into the com and get only static for a minute before a fuzzy voice replies. "Esme? Where are you? Can you repeat that?" It was sister Verity.

You do so. Several minutes later she and a helmeted sister with a bolter are standing in the doorway. Verety looks like she had ran the whole way, though the other sister seems unaffected. "Esme! What are you doing here? Leave the Engine to the Engineers. If something had gotten in it would have been radioed to the engine's control room and then reported from there..." She glanced back over her shoulder. "The canoness will probably be done soon." She took a few steps forward, the other sister following. "We should..."

The door slammed behind her.

>>12315832
Oh God
"Be wary sister- I suspect that things are not right here,"
Ask the helmted sister her name

>>12315832
Activate power sword. Circle the hole in the floor. Kick the remaining boxes into it. "It's a trap sister. Let's make a defensive formation. You and me will watch the whole, sister, you watch the door and any other points of entry"

Do I have any grenades?

>>12315832
Give Verity the best "This hasn't just happened" look we can muster.

>>12315865
>>12315863
>>12315851

Verity's horrified look mirrors your own. You swallow hard, trying to regain your composure and ask the helmeted sister her name.

"Anna..." She replies, her voice crackling a little over the mic and speaker built into her helmet.

You begin barking orders and you fall into a defensive formation, verity protected between you. She doesn't have any weapons on her, but she does have a surgical wrist mount with several knives and drug concoctions in it as well as a belt full of extra medicine and medical supplies.

You begin kicking boxes into the hole. It doesn't seem to do anything.

>>12315832
"Oh God Emperor, I hope I didnt just lead us all into a trap."

Okay, NOW we try to contact the canoness for sure.

>>12315922
Let's try to open any doors on this floor before thinking about descending.

>>12315922
I stop kicking in boxes, saving a few just in case. "Let's make a defensive formation near the door. Verity, try to wrench it open." I try the Engineers comm Ïf anyone can receive me, thi is sister Anna, I am trapped with two of my sisters in the engineering bay. Inform superiors or send a recovery team. Send them armed. Something is off around here..."

I take a few steps back towards the door "Anyone have a flashlight?"

>>12315957
>>12315950

The com on your suit is blocked by the thick, radiation-proof walls of the engine. Anyone somewhat nearby might hear your distress signal, but verity had been looking for you. Sisters very rarely wander these corridors.

The two doors on the right are unlocked but the doors on the left are shut tight. "This is the engineering control room." Verity's voice trailed off. "I... Wanted to be a Dialgous before I became a Hospitaller." She explained.

>>12315994
"which way is most likely to allow us to get away from this floor?" I throw all the remaining boxes into the pit, hoping it'll seal it off. "I saw something down there earlier... let's get out of here quick. I wonder where the team using this gear has gone..."

I head in front, the armed sister behind me, Verity in the back.

>>12315994
"Good- can you recognize anything here?
Maybe something will prove useful. "

>>12315994
Can she do anything with the console in this room?

Okay okay ... NOW we strip naked and stick the powersword handle up our ass.
Then jump down the hole. Ass first.

>>12316035
>>12316029

Sister Anna faltered, looking form side to side. "Thats... a good point... Where have the engineers gone? There were hundreds of them. There had to be to keep a ship of this size in a state of repair..."

You all shudder. Your Witchkin powers flare up momentarily, pulsing in your temples. You have to get out...

Verity shakes her head. "I don't know the blueprints of this ship in particular. The Engineer control room is just usually located near the entrance to the engine rooms."

She took a deep breath to calm herself. "I don't see anything particularly useful here. A welding torch and a mask could help us bypass some obstacles though. Maybe a toolbox with some basic tools..."

>>12316054
We must first best the Dark Eldar princess in combat, so that she might teach us the secret of the recto-blade, before we can do that.

>>12316081
"Grab what you can... and er... what I haven't thrown down the hole. You can use the welding torch as a weapon. Come, follow me. You sister, get behind me. I deal with close combat, you deal suppresive fire, but save your ammo... and ofcourse, I doubt there be any combat... but we best be prepaired" I aproach the door to the engine rooms.

>>12316083

that is amazing... that is amazing and win... win win win...

>>12316081
Good, take those- now, which way is the closest way to GET THE FUCK OUT

>>12316081

Check your knife

What's it doing?

Also dont go down the hole it's probably that blasted mirror again

Does anybody have a flare or something?

>>12316081
>Danger, Will Robinson!

Ok, time to get moving. I'd say we take our luck with the doors.

>>12316083
A fair point: I shall stop these unnecessary suggestions until we have done so.

>>12316123
only check our knife if it actually reacts to things
AND IF THEY OTHERS AREN'T LOOKING

>>12316126
>>12316123
>>12316119
>>12316111

You check the blade while Anna and Verity scavenge for the items. It glows softly, pulsing with the fluctuations of your mind like always. Nothing really seems to have changed, though you do feel a little more attuned to it now that you've carried it around for awhile.

You put it away as they come back with the items. "Alright. We're ready when you are."

Which door do you pick? The left door or the right door? (assuming your facing the right wall)

There'd better be Dark Eldar down that hole OP.

>>12316181

Left is surely the right course

>>12316181
The left door, into the engine room. Or actualy.., let's try that torch on the doors that closed behind us. Did any of the sisters have Krak or melta?

>>12316185

It's probably that mysterious sister from earlier who will SURPRISE US because, no matter what, OP refuses to let Esme ask the Canonness about her

>>12316198

That's a good idea open up an escape route if we can

Then we can get more sisters to help us investigate

>>12316232
Or, you know, ammo and guns.

>>12316198
>>12316194

None of you have grenades. All doors are several inches thick to prevent radiation leakage. There is no way you can weld through it.

You peek through the left door into another room. In front of you is a huge turbine with a furnace attached to the side. It is where garbage that could not be salvaged or recycled was burned for extra power. To your right is another stack of crates, these metal. There is a maintenance hatch to your left leading down into the darkness. There is a large pool of a dark liquid in front of you. There are footprints leading off into a dark corner of the room. Just beyond the dark corner you see an inactive conveyer belt and beyond that scrap. straight ahead, through the machinery connecting the turbine and the furnace you see a door.

You have the chills.

>>12316304

*His Divine Will

fucking google chrome

>>12316324

Clearly Google Chrome is the name of the Daemon King we will eventually vanquish/become

>>12316304
Use flashligh on darkness.
Inspect boxes.

>>12316304

If anything springs out ROSARIUS

Look around, is there anything we can use to illuminate some of this darkness?

Also investigate the dark liquid

>>12316304

Are the 'footprints' human looking?

Drink imaginary tea to regain morale!

>>12316392
>>12316368

you shine your flashlight about, powersword at the ready, and crouch near the dark liquid. It seems to be oil but it gives off a rotting, putrid scent that differed greatly from oil.

You shine your light at the darkness. There is an engineer standing there, resting his head against the wall, mumbling to himself. You can't see his face.

In his hand he loosely clutches a metal hammer.

>>12316429

Throw something at the Engineer to catch his attention and see if he responds

if he does anything odd, (odder) shoot him immediately

>>12316443
Try to get him to calm down.

>Throw something at the Engineer

yes... i'm sure that wont piss him off AT ALL!

>>12316429
>>12316429
"Sir- please, you are unwell. Please, come and tell us what has happened?"
Gesture the helmeted sister to take the guy out if he charges.

>>12316516
>>12316479

He doesn't react, merely continuing to gibber to the air. He raises his voice several times. You don't recognize the language he's speaking. The words make both Verity and Anna shiver and the back of your neck prickle.

>>12316555

Google Chrome WHAT THE FUCK?

i'm putting a sticky note on my screen to remind me to type it in. srry guys.

>>12316555
Try to get him to snap out of. If he does not, he's so weak minded that he has fallen to the predations of chaos. In that case we should deliver the Emperor's mercy and speak a prayer for his soul before continuing.

>>12316605
Giving him the Emperors mercy may result in drawing undo attention on ourselves.
Instead, why don't we just see if we can incapacitate him and then move on?

"Sisters, have you ever seen something like this?"

>>12316605

Yeah do that... at a safe distance (oh and is there anything else in the darkness? PLease dont pull a 'you shine the torch around but when you come back the Engineer is gone' on us or I'll hate you so much OP

>>12316635
>>12316634
>>12316605

Anna shakes her head when you ask her but Verity seems tense. "Once before when fighting against psykers. A local psyker was brought to me, his mind lost in the warp, but this man isn't a psyker. Psykers are never part of the crew of a sororitas ship. What abomination could have dragged a normal human's mind down..."

You shine your flashlight around once more, you see nothing. When you shine the flashlight back to the Engineer, he's still there, but he's silent now. His head is turned slightly and he appears to be looking at you, a gas mask covering his entire face.

>>12316625
We could always try to fix whatever's wrong with him... with our hands. But incapacitating him is fine too.

>>12316723

Fuck what do we do now?
Can we ask him to take off the gas mask?

What if there's something noxious in the air?

But that'd mean we have to call him towards us

Fuck fuck what do we do? Strip away our boob-plate and flash him to see if he has any humanity left?

>>12316723
I know I'm going to regret this, but let's take off the mask. Prepare the others for potential san loss beforehand.

>>12316771

Ask him first to remove his mask... or at least try calling out to him again now that he's realized we're here

Maybe he's a survivor... sole survivor (though I doubt it... tremendously)

I dunno why but I'm lovin reading this thread while playing the Normandy music from ME1

http://www.endlessyoutube.com/watch?v=MZ4KcSKUuh8

>>12316771
>>12316767

You cautiously approach him, Verity and Anna close behind. He doesn't move as you get closer, the green lenses of the mask reflecting softly in the light of your flashlight.

You reach him with no trouble and attempt to remove his mask and find that it wont come off. He lets out an angry groaning sound as you pull, his shoulders tensing a bit, turning more toward you.

>>12316823
it won't come off huh? that seems odd, pull harder

>>12316823

Everyone quickly get back and, I dunno, watch him or something

Tell Anna to ready her bolter

>>12316823
>>12316844

FFS, stop pulling. This reads like a textbook nurgle case.
If possible, burn him but do not rupture his body at all cost.

>>12316812

i've got to brb but yes this is a good music choice.

However, so is this http://www.endlessyoutube.com/watch?v=1wli58yAY1o

I gotta brb for a sec ok guys? heh... in the mean time try to figure out whats going on.

>>12316823
Alright, leave him alone
He's not doing anything right now
Just, get on our way.

>>12316867

>silent hill music

Well fuck that..., stand back, wait for him to start twitching and shuddering grotesquely, THEN shoot him

Is our radio emitting static?

>>12316884

No way, I dont want him prowling away if we dont know what's going on

How about we wait for him to FULLY turn around so we can see the inevitable twitching mass of warp touched flesh attached to his body?

>>12316857
>>12316884
>>12316912
>>12316844
>>12316847

Because there seems to be no consensus how about a compromise?

You tell Anna and Verity to stand back and prepare themselves. Cautiously, you tug harder at his mask over the incessant groaning of the Engineer

As it begins to come loose between your fingers he turns to face you fully, his other arm visible now, its features are indiscernable, his entire left arm is a bleeding red mess

The mask comes free

>>12316912
>>12316897
>>12316884
>>12316857
>>12316847

He turns around fully, watching you through the mask. He holds still for what feels like hours before his entire body spasms and he falls to his knees, screaming

Almost immediately he jerks up, looking around franticly. "Darel? Darel where the hell are..." He seemed to notice you. "B-Battle sisters?"

>>12317024

aha, nevermind then

>>12317024

Calmly tell him that yes, the sisters are here

Then ask him to remove his gas mask, and if he wont, ask him why not

Then ask about Darel

>>12317024
Smile at him and ask what has happened. Try to use our warp-sight on him to see if he's tainted. If not, have Verity attend his wounds.

>>12317093
Forgot to add that he has to remove his mask first.

>>12317125
>>12317093
>>12317071

You hold up a hand to keep Verity and Anna back, asking him to remove his mask focusing your witch sight.

Immedeately images of the warp dance around your vision. It is as if he had been wrapped in light, your sight gazing straight into his soul. At the core of his being a dark mass pulsed, its tendrils rapidly expanding and moving through his body.

He reaches up to remove his mask, hesitating for a moment before trying. "I... I cannot Sister... I... I do not under..."

He spasms again, screeching in fury and charging at you with the hammer.

shoot him so much

>>12317175

Power sword parry his hammer and kick him to the ground... then disembowel him... in the balls

Save our ammo

>>12317175
"May the Emperor have mercy on your soul."
Boltgun'd.

>>12317175
Knock him out and try to banish the warp's influence from him while chanting: The Power of the holy Godemperor of Mankind compels you!
Or simply kill him if we don't want to open that can of worms.

>>12317202
This but with powersword. No need to waste ammo on an untrained civvy.

>>12317257
We should also avoid contact with his tainted essence and keep him as far away from Verity and Anna as possible.

>>12317257
>>12317201
>>12317202
>>12317185


You step back, parying his strike and knocking him off balance. Your sword is through his chest before he can recover.

He looks down at the blade in his chest and then back up at you, taking another step forward. The blade pierces out his back as he advances, sliding up the blade.

Anna whispers a prayer, unloading several bolter shells into his head, blowing a good chunk of skull off. You can see that the mask is now a part of his face.

He somehow continues to advance. several black squirming tendrils extending out of the hole in his head.

>>12317317

Avoid getting too close, but do not show fear. Ask the name and purpose of the foul warpspawn.

>>12317317

Boot him off your sword and run back to the oil puddle

Lure him there and then have Anna fire on it, cleansing this warpspawn in purifying flame

Emperor protect us

>>12317317

>the gas mask is a part of his face

MUUUUUMMMMYYYYY!

Are you my mummy?

>>12317317
Let's remember our German ancestors and throw him into the furnace, if it's still on.

>>12317355
>>12317353

You kick him off your sword and make a tactical retreat, your companions following suit. You and Anna both ready your weapons as he approaches.

He stumbles a bit, black fluid gushing out of him in a torrent. He slows down, falling. He continues trying to crawl after you, his body slowly healing itself but it was too late. The warp spawn's tentacles spasmed, starting to shrivel and wilt. a few moments later he lay on the ground, dead.

>>12317379
...Well, it IS a ship full of strong woman figures...

>>12317399

Talk to Anna and Verity, make sure they're ok

>>12317379

Well at least its not... OHSHI-

>>12317438
YOU FOOL! ANYTHING THAT HOLDS THE IMAGE OF AN ANGEL WAEATIQGBAKBHGH

>>12317399

Check the area he was in for anything interesting, any loot/clues

avoid the body while doing so (can we burn it in any way?)

And I presume that black stuff wasnt oil but that... things... ichor

Avoid that too

>>12317445

THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT! I SWEAR!!!

>>12317379
I was actually thinking that too. I just happened to see a rerun of that not long ago and I almost never watch that show.

>>12317465
>>12317413

You confirm that your sisters are both alright before hesitantly dragging the body to the conveyer belt. You lug it onto the moving platform, watching it as it disappears into the roaring heat of the furnace, making damn well sure it burned.

You check the room for anything else useful. All you turn up is the hammer that the chaos spawn had been using before and a large metal wrench.

>>12317528
Pocket the wrench, we might be able to use it later. Then, I guess, search through the METAL BAWKSES.

>>12317528
Let's take the wrench. I'm sure we'll be able to throw it in somebody's plans.

>>12317438

No I actually used them in the last Quest I ran >.>

and yes this was the obligitory Dr. Who reference. :3

>>12317528

Check the hammer to see if it's tainted

It it isnt tainted and Anna or Verity is lacking a CCW, give it to them

>>12317538
>>12317539

You put the wrench in Verity's toolbox. Its too big to fit in your side pouch.

You go to the metal crates and cautiously open one, slamming it closed an instant later, your face pale as a ghost.

The box was full of black slithering worms.

>>12317528

Go and check the maintenence hatch... shining your flashlight inside

>>12317602

Ask Verity if she knows anything about the worms (being a medical professional)

Maybe they're leeches used for bloodletting?

If not, and if you can carry the boxes, upend the boxes into the furnace

Burn it, burn it all

>>12317602
Throw all the boxes into the furnace.

Dear god emperor, how would someone go about putting the entire ship on alert? because I think we're deffinitely at that point.

Wait. The incenerator is it working? If it is we can burn all of it.

>>12317638
>>12317641
>>12317652
>incineration mind

>>12317681
There are very few problems in 40k that can't be solved by flamethrower.

>>12317638

You turn to Verity to ask her about the worms. She isn't there. You panic, looking around before you spot her vomiting in the corner, a look of terror on her face. Sisters Hospitaller were only meant for the field of battle when they were trained for that role...

There is no way you could ever carry one of the boxes without some form of lift. You could barely wrap your arms halfway around it, much less carry it.

You make your way over to the maintenance tunnel, opening it and shining your flashlight down into it. It looks clear but you can hear a pulsing beat coming from the inside of the tunnel and an odd hissing sound.

>>12317708

What kind of 'pulse' is it?

Does it sound mechanical or organic?

If the latter.. run run RRUNNN!

to that doorway between the furnace and turbine!

>>12317708
>Pulsing hissing

I really hope that's the Gellar Field generator we're hearing.

Did we ever stop using our psyker vision? If not we should look into what is making that sound. It sounds like there is some sort of infestation going on here...

>>12317708

OP, if we encounter a surviving techpriest.. can you make him this guy?

Fuck this shit we need to find a plasma cutter

>>12317828

This is not Dead Space/Space Station 13

We just need FAITH IN THE EMPRAH!!!

... and a lot of luck...

"Stand fast sister Verity," Comfort her if need be "We'll root out the source of this corruption yet,"
Replace lid to box o' san loss.
Move foreward.

>>12317755
>>12317742
>>12317718

You focus your Witchsight harder. The floor under you appears to vanish and the network of tunnels becomes visible. It goes for a way undisturbed before the tunnels just vanish in a mass of writhing, slowly advancing black.

(Unrelated: My verification says "Aquila" in it)

>>12317908
Ok, we need to find a way to vent the lower decks. Fast. Use our warp-o-vision to find the nearest uncorrupted techpriest.

>>12317908

Looks like we were right, jumping downt hat hole would have been a Baaaaad idea

Ok guys let's make a mental note not to go down... ever

Head for the door

>>12317932

Steady on warp o vision guys... there's chaos about

We dont want to end up on any rails above any fans now do we?

>>12317936

You look to the door, focusing your witch sight. Your head is starting to hurt now but you see several life forms milling about. Your sight is not yet refined enough to see if they are corrupted or not.

You look to Anna and verity and motion for them to follow. They are staring at you and obey after a moment's hesitation. Verity wiping the mouth with the back of her wrist. "Emperor save us all..." She whimpers to the darkness.

>>12317995
Okay, let's switch off our 3d heresy view and be vigilant as we move down the corridors. We should also comfort Verity and squeeze her hand reassuringly while telling her that if the Emperor wills it we are going to survive.

>>12317995

Stop using warp sight, they're catching on

When you get to the door say something like 'I hear something' so they dont know you've already looked beyond

Then carefully open the door while Verity readies her weapon, ready to cover you

>>12318041

This, how about all three of view huddle together and mumble a short, group chant to the emperor (keep it quiet)

We must keep our spirits raised

>>12317995
"Stand fast Verity, we will root out the source of this corruption yet. Remember- as long as we have faith, nothing can stand before us."

>>12318084
>>12318041

It's Anna I'm worried about... she's the one with the gun (isnt she?)

>>12318046
>When you get to the door say something like 'I hear something' so they dont know you've already looked beyond

Good idea.

>>12318109

Anna has the gun. Verity is unarmed save for some medical instruments that could be used as weapons.

>>12318178
Check that Ana is okay too

>>12318230
Seconding.

>>12318063
>>12318046
>>12318041

You switch your witch sight off with slight difficulty, but your headache immediately starts to improve. Your companions are still staring at you.

You gather them both together and lead them in a word of quiet prayer, the action calming them both and raising their morale.

You make your way over to the door, pressing your ear against it. You mouth "I hear something" to the other two, Anna reading her bolter behind you.

You slam the door open, several engineers, jumping back in surprise. One was wearing a hardhat, another a welding mask. The one with the hardhat points a nail gun at you, his hands trembling.

"GET AWAY! OH EMPRAH! GET AWAY!!!" He was a rather poor shot and the nails that did hit you bounced harmlessly off your armor.

There were two other Engineers in the room who had frozen mid task when you entered. One had overalls on. The other was carrying a toolbox.

The room itself was what appeared to be some sort of rest or break room. They seemed to be in the process of barricading the door just right of where you were standing by welding and bolting plate steel over it..

>>12318344

Tell them 'the sisters are here'

Then see if Verity needs to get to work on any of them

>>12318344
"Get a hold of yourself man! *SLAP*"

>>12318344
Can't see it from your drawing, any other doors in that room except the one we just came from?

>>12318406

the barricaded one directly to your right. its not labeled.

>>12318344

Ask if they have any wounded, and see if they can update you on the situation

I assume the metal plates are sealing a floor hatch. If so let's leave them there

>>12318425
Ok, thanks. Ask them if they had luck using the console in that room in addition to what the other anons proposed to do.

>>12318344

Tell them about the gas mask dude, they've probably been trying to hide from him

Comfort them by telling them we killed him and burnt his taint ridden corpse

On that note, ask if there is a Darel among them. That's what that guy was screaming out wasnt it?

>>12318465
>>12318452
>>12318434

When they finally process who you are. the man with the nail gun goes chalk white. "S-sisters! Dear sweet emprah! Forgive me! I thought you were... There is an engineer, Darel, running around in a fire mask. We trapped him in the bathroom but..."

He trailed off. The man in the overalls and the man with the tool box picked up one of the metal sheets off the ground. carrying it to the door. The man with the welding torch began securing it in place.

"Excuse me..." The man with the nail gun made his way over to them, firing nails all along the plate's edges.

Verity glances around, stepping forward. "Does the console work?" The man with the Nail Gun nodded. "Its for monitering the integrity of different parts of the engine. We have sensors and cameras all over the lower levels.

You bring up the man in the gas mask.

The nailgun man is silent for a good moment. "Carson too?" He shook his head. "I don't understand what's going on here sisters..." He sounded on the edge of hysteria. "Everyone just went mad! no rhyme or reason!"

>>12318562

Ask about Carson and Darel. What were they doing before they went nuts

Were they reading anyting from that bookcase? Maybe somebody slipped some Chaos reading material in there

Search the bookcase. If nothing else maybe you can find a prayer book to recite

Lead everyone in prayer

>>12318562
"Calm yourself, technician, it is level heads and the emperor's grace that will see us through this."

Ask if they have any way to communicate with the bridge, if not, ask where they were when this clusterfuck started, and if they have any idea what started it.

>>12318562

>sensors and cameras all over the lower levels

Dare we look?

>>12318562
Ask them for a way to either contact the other decks or get to safety. A map of the area would be really nice as well.

The man with the welding mask looks up at you as he finishes his work. He lifts the mask to reveal a badly scarred face as if some wild beast had torn half of it off in his youth.

"'Vell sistahs.. I'v ad zis thot foh sum tiem..." The man in the overalls cut him off. "Don't trouble them with your absurd theories!"

Verity pipes in. "Anything you can tell us would be helpful.

The man in overalls huffs, backing off, Welding Mask continuing. "Eets ze radios. Everyvun vith a radio vent mad all at vonce..."

The toolbox man piped in. "But that doesn't explain why The heads went mad. They don't carry Engineering radios."

"Maybee zeet eez all radios. Not just ze vuns vee carry around."

>>12318726
Stephen King's "Cell"... in Space?

>>12318726

>their accents

Oh god they're all cultists aren't they?

>>12318726

Destroy our radio, with extreme prejudice

>>12318810

*the the welding mask guy was born on Krieg cough cough*

>>12318726

Use the monitor, see if you can see any of that 'advancing black' in the lower decks

>>12318827

You immediately take the engineering radio out from Verity's toolbox and drop it to the ground, crushing it under your power armored boot.

The man in the overalls laughs nervously. "b-better safe than sorry..."

>>12318859
Yes check the monitors. Warn the others that you're doing so and not to look.

>>12318909

No dont warn them

We dont want to give off any hints that we already know what's going on

Otherwise you can expect Anna to suddenly start acting like a follower in Fallout 1 &2 when equipped with an automatic weapon

>>12318859

You use the monitor, Verity going to examine the men for injuries.

3/4 of the cameras displayed either darkness or static, but you found one finally that displayed something odd. Drifting slowly down the hall was a long ribbon like thing... almost like a glowing translucent streamer. There were hundreds of them shifting through colors in a dazzling pryzm. They seemed gaseous in nature, seeping into every little crack in the walls and floor they encountered.

>>12318837
Jaegers?

>>12318982
Anyone more familiar with DH know what this is?

>>12319014

he has a german accent

also, OP is hungry. OP will eat dinner now.

>mfw all of this is happening because we brought Tessa on board with her chaos mark

So what do you guys think? Should we try to neutralise 'Darel', who's locked in the bathroom, right now? Or wait until we have backup/better weaponry and hope that the welded door holds?

>>12319066
Wouldn't the tain spread from her location in that case?

>>12319066
No that wouldn't make any sense- she's marked with slaanesh.
This sounds like either slaugth, nurgal, or those gaseous thingies that mind control people.

>>12319180
>or those gaseous thingies that mind control people

Yes those, what are those things? I've seen them mentioned on /tg/ at other times before.

>>12319180
>slaugth, nurgal, or those gaseous thingies that mind control people(rape gasses).


And all of them want to steal our precious bodily fluids!

>has just eaten delicious pork chops cooked in onion and spices, rice, and peppered corn on the cob and now sits with some ice cream.

>is in a really REALLY good mood

Tip: A ginormous hint that will change the entire outcome of this scene was given a ways back (but not before you entered the engine room) and none of you have pointed it out.

also: bacon was in my verification

>>12319325

>has never seen these until just now

Thanks Anon!

also: My verification is Genocide issued... wat...

I think we need a new thread, this one is auto-saging

>>12319371

in a moment im still looking at my plans and enjoying ice cream.

also, go figure out my hint to you. its pivitol

>>12319418
Where does the conveyor belt leading to the furnace come from? Could it be a way out (Is that the hint?)

Did we check out that console between the two power units in the other room?

>>12319476
>>12319441

you're cold anon... so cold...

>>12319491
Ok you've asked for this. I'm gonna do what I always do when I'm stuck in an adventure.
Inspect:
Bookshelp
Lockers
Icebox
Various conoles
Doors
Metal plates
No sanity draining boxes
Junk

Combine everything with everything.

See if all dialogue trees are exhausted.

Pray we're not in a Sierra adventure.

>>12319491
Something to do with 'em sparking cables?

>>12319589

Pt 3 is up. go now.

Ask the crew in the room with us to draw out a map of the surrounding sections in the ship. We need to find a way out of here to the forward sections or up to the bridge, there have go to be secondary access ways.
