Cinder’s Character Sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10H9COxlc2Qaqkx5DTaihQJHazhc-_KKIS-Aon-VxluA/edit?usp=sharing

If you’re a die-hard lover of canon, I suggest you turn away now. Like all things 40k, the gauntlet runs from “worshipping the printed word” to “over the top silliness.” Most of the time it’s somewhere in between. You’ve been warned in advance.

All rolls go against a specified characteristic in the style of Black Crusade. You’ll want to roll under the characteristic value in order to pass the check. The more degrees of success (every multiple of 10 counts as 1), the more awesome of a result. A 1 is a guaranteed success, and a 100 is a guaranteed failure.

Best of three rolls when it’s called for, with a 1 or a 100 instantly taking precedence. If multiple characteristics are being rolled for, each 1d100 counts for its respective test. Any rolls prior to the call for one and those not linking said post will be ignored.

You may burn (i.e. gone forever) 10 infamy to completely reroll a check (i.e. three new 1d100). If you have above 10 infamy, you are allowed a single additional 1d100 roll for any check during a session.

If you have any questions/etc, now’s the time.I’ll push the first update in about 10 minutes. We’ll probably be rather combat heavy tonight, just so you know.

Excessive meta/whining/waifu’ing/etc goes to QTG. Blatant Samefaggotry will be ignored.

Tonight's drinking game: One shot each time I accidentally drop the trip.

>>35413635
Why're we on a space hulk again anyway? Haven't been around for a few sessions I think, last time I was around we were thinking about pissing off some chaos Eldar

>>35413778
A certain Slaaneshi whore made us change our way.

Is this this the Khorne quest that is somehow ignoring Slaanesh?

>>35413778

It's something to interrupt the monotony of Warp Travel. We had a one-shot of sorts that was really more a continuation of the normal quest just from Ignitrix's POV

“So uh… how do we deal with that?”

The words are out of your mouth before you can really get a hold on your thoughts. Not much surprises a daemon much less impresses them. Even with your limited knowledge in the matters of the technological and of the Warp, you can tell by sight alone the value of what floats before you. It’s not a question of whether or not you’ll be claiming it as your own but how exactly you’ll be doing it.

Your first problem to deal with is the gap between you and the ship itself. The balcony Ignitrix, Acerea, and you are currently standing on is a few kilometers away from the Engine itself. Several umbilical-type pipes are attached to the exterior of the vessel like mosquitos trying to suck out its light. Some are probably a part of the Hulk itself but others are clearly Rak’gol in design. Or so Ignitrix has informed you anyways. You’ve only half-paid attention to her since first speaking yourself.

“And if you look carefully… there.” Your feathered companion points at an assemblage of scrap that’s circling the Engine. “You can see some of their skiffs. Hard to tell from here where they are originating from though. My guess knowing the Rak’gol? They blasted a hole large enough for one of their ships to worm through. That or there’s something on the other side of that ship we’re just not seeing.”

The xenos would be your second problem. You’re excited to see how the “multi-limbed, Ork-like terrors” fare in combat. Still, even from here, you’re able to tell that there’s a great deal of them swarming over the Engine. Charging in blindly will just lead to the three of you getting cornered and killed. You have no shame in admitting that much. Even a thousand flies can topple an elephant after all. And unlike the Tyranids from before these foes have actual weapons.

>>35413879
That makes sense I suppose.
Now back to complaining about not having a Nemesis sword I guess.

>>35413855
Yup! Hope you have fun!

>>35413778
iirc, we're on our way to raid a craftworld for the coordinates to crone worlds to get pre-fall Eldar weaponry, and there's a Hulk in our way blocking Warp travel.
>>35413855
Yes. And if people feel the need to bitch about it every thread, then it will never change. Worry about it in QTG; we have questing to do here.

>>35413920

It takes you a bit to realize your daemon comrades are waiting in silence for you to decide on a course of action.

That's more retarded than raiding a goddamn Tyranid hive fleet.

>>35413993
Khorne's greatest enemy isn't Slaanesh, Khorne just really hates Slaanesh. Khornate people won't be too bothered with those fags out of their spheres of influence.

>>35414004

The QM basically realized that and changed the destination. We're not sure where we're going after this Hulk but let's worry about that later. We have a shiny ship to steal!

Let's throw a Craftworld at a Hive Fleet one day.

>>35414004

That's on our to-do list too, but they don't have as much loot, so they're a lesser priority.

Those all sound like great plans, so let's take a sec and think. It's never failed us before.

>>35414057
The rivalries in the chaos gods go like this, faggot.
Nurgle VS Tzeentch
Slaanesh VS Khorne.

They all hate each other for differing reasons but those hatreds are most prevalent.

>>35413948
>2
Killing all of these things seems inadvisable, considering even Cinder thinks it's a suicide mission, but if you can steal aboard the Engine (ship thing?) You can fight a bunch of them, perhaps elites, AND steal the highly valuable thing! Win-win

>>35414097
They are rivals, but they are not enemies.

Anon, I know you're not retarded. Why are you acting like it?

>>35414273
Slaanesh is like a gnat on Khorne's nose.

>>35414144
They are enemies. Khorne hates Slaanesh. Loathes Slaanesh. Utterly despises Slaanesh. It's not a rivalry, it is HATE.

>>35414273
It pisses Khorne off, but he wouldn't be caught dead calling it 'great.'

>>35414370
Khorne acknowledges his greatest foe. Martial honor and all that.

>>35414426

Which is the Imperium of Man.

>>35413948
Is there any reason not to do all of those?

Aside from that it would let the Gol fuck with our new ship for longer, I mean. I'm perfectly happy with what we're already doing.

>>35414468
Agreed, Ignitrix should clone Cinder real quick.

>>35413948

The quickest way to get to the Engine and through those Rak’gol (in your mind) is to commandeer one of those skiffs. It does mean relying on a questionable amount of speed and maneuverability. Or maybe razor-shells won’t hurt that much.

“Did either of you bring a weapon that’ll cross the gap? A launcher perhaps?” You’re not hopeful but it couldn’t hurt to ask. “I certainly didn’t.”

Both shake their heads in the negative. Ignitrix is the first to reply.

“I’m not so sure I could get a fireball all the way out there either. In normal circumstances that’d be rather difficult as it is. With that ship in its current state? I’m liable to tear a hole in reality.”

You’re no empath but you’re pretty sure that she’s equal parts embarrassed and annoyed. Her feathering isn’t quite flared out and she’s sporting a small scowl.

“Well we could try and throw this plant…” Acerea offers jokingly. Ignitrix’s mouth twitches upwards for a second.

“Hrm…” You muse on the problem while taking in more of the balcony. There’s a few idle crates that you could move around for cover but not much else. You could probably strip some scrap metal from the previous corridor if you wanted to. Still, not a whole lot of options.

>>35414566

Let's scout the corridors and sneak up on them that way. If we can't get close enough to the Engine, we could still try boarding a skiff to speed there.

>>35414566
> [4] Rip out a door, use it as a shield, then have Ignitrix blast you with a big and explosive fireball, launching you towards one of the skiffs.

I think there's gravity here anon. Otherwise jumping would be a good idea, albeit a slow and vulnerable one.

>>35414566

Can she make a zombie plant monster out of it? That we could throw over to the ship?

Exactly.

I uh... [4] means revisiting the prior choices rather than an actual write in. But I won't write off any of the ones put forth so far.

>>35414660

She could turn it sure. But then you'd just have a zombie-thing following you around.

>>35414660
Fear the Fern!

Phear the Phern?[/spoiler}

Ah the dangers of open-ended pre-combat. I'll write you all a bit more here that'll move you forward one way or the other. After all, indecision is a decision itself.

>>35414468
I forgot to tag this earlier. Timing mostly as you pointed out. More chance they might get in or damage it, that sort of thing.

>>35414566

“You know… it’s funny how a battlefield becomes a maze when you have no real way of traversing it.”

Ignitrix raises an eyebrow and looks at you as if you’d praised the Corpse God. “Who are you and what have you done with Cinder?”

You shrug with a hint of a smile on your face. “I’m allowed to make witty observations from time to time, aren’t I?”

“Eh, you’re not wrong. Just unexpected.”

“And we all know how much you hate that.”

She huffs and turns back to look at the Engine. “Every maze has a solution. I would know. Honestly? I think I can probably cause enough of a lightshow to get their attention. It wouldn’t just be one skiff though. We might end up with two or three or even more. If you think we can handle that… well it’s not the craziest thing we’ve done.”

Acerea waits to make sure Ignitrix is finished, then offers, “I know it’ll take longer but we should get our new friend to help. I don’t think time’s a very big factor here. Who knows how long this Hulk’s been here or how long those Rak’gol have been trying to get in.”

“Except you forget we’re also falling towards a Black Hole,” adds Ignitrix. “Though granted that could mean days, weeks, or even years.”

You tap your chin in thought. “If we do go back to check on this Zoanthrope, we might as well have the Raptor send over some weapons. Either way, sitting here thinking is accomplishing nothing.”

“Agreed.”

“Mhm~”

>>35415250
>>35415281

I normally don't mind crazy write ins, but you don't really have the means to "rocket jump" that far. You should totally keep that sort of idea for when it's more feasible though.

>>35415363
Okay, so: Khorne is the god of blood, so his subjects would have some sort of blood powers.
Blood has air in it. So we just get a whole bunch of blood, then expel the air out of it, providing us with a means propulsion.

>>35415533
Hey, do y'all think there's a White Khornette out there?

>>35415161

Cracking your neck, you walk over to the nearest crate and easily heft it aloft with your daemonic strength. Whatever’s inside clangs loudly as you move the box over to some its fellows. In all, you end up with three “barriers:” two forming a sort of funnel at the front of the balcony and one right in the middle towards the corridor behind. You’re fairly confident the containers will take a few hits at least but you’d rather not push your luck.

Acerea takes up a position in the back. Ignitrix moves behind cover across from you at the fore, sword at the ready. You know she had used it prior during the brief skirmish with the Tyranids, but seeing her with it is odd in a way. A good kind of odd that makes you appreciate the fact she’s not wholly reliant on sorcery.

When she notices you staring, Ignitrix rolls her eyes. “I take it we’re ready then?”

“When are we EVER ready, Iggy?”

“...I’m not even going to answer that.”

Holding her sword aloft, the Lady of Change’s eyes flare with blue Warp fire. A second later a bright blue bird-shape erupts from the weapon’s tip and soars into the air above you. It’s easily the size of the shuttle you rode in on and definitely bright enough to be seen by the Rak’gol. The fire-being unleashes a caw’ing sound and explodes in a blinding roar harmlessly after a few moments.

“Well I think that worked,” says Ignitrix as she uses her sword to point out the three skiffs that have veered off from the rest of the circling mass. “And I’m rather glad I didn’t cause any disturbance…”

“MY PLANT!” cries Acerea. Looking back, you see that it’s withered and died.

“...Fuck.”

>>35415661

As much as she probably could use a headpat now, it’s probably not smart for you to move from cover to comfort Ignitrix. Instead, you settle for a few choice words.

“Hey you said it yourself - that ship’s messing with your powers. Not your fault. Just focus on the angry eight-limb monsters that are coming towards us. Then when they’re all dead I’ll give you a headpat.”

She perks up slightly from her brooding state at that. “I want three.”

“You’ll get two.”

“Deal.”

Now that that’s been handled, you’re able to focus on the three skiffs that are growing ever closer. You’re able to now tell that each has four Rak’gol. Eight of them have glowing axes, three have rifles being chain-fed by massive ammo packs, and one has a cannon that's more a glorified spike. The skiffs bearing the ax-wielders seem to be making a beeline for the balcony while the one with the others is hanging back.

Ah, then we could pull one of the skiffs into another skiff, and then pull the remaining skiff towards us for hijacking.

The number to beat is 31, unless you want to use the Ignitrix-connection now. Then it'd be versus 71.

You haven’t had much practice with the new function of your claws but now seems like as good a time as any. By focusing on them with your mind and giving them a quick flick, long chains of pure Warp energy flail out from the tips. They crackle and cast a red-ish glow over the immediate area before you step out from behind the boxes and swipe upwards across your body. The chains fly outwards towards the nearest skiff and almost immediately wrap themselves around the upper four limbs of a Rak’gol.

It screeches in alarm and begins flailing around in pain as the chains start to tighten and try to latch onto its fellows. You could easily pull it over to you, or you might be able to use it as an anchor to board the skiff.

Tactical Warp Chain Combat it is.

You'll be rolling 2d100 this time.

The first roll (versus a 42) will determine how much damage reduction you get while basically being a sitting duck.

The second (versus a 45) will determine how many shots (if any) will even hit you in the first place.

(I figured I'd start explaining the rolls more for transparency's sake)

Rolled 70, 94 = 164 (2d100)

So you're able to shrug off most of what hits you, but you're only able to dodge so much.
Writing...

>>35416708
The shots scrape us slightly a couple times. Works for me.

>>35416465

As you pour more concentration into your claws the insidious chains continue to fester outwards from the snared Rak’Gol. Given enough time, they’ll gain enough purchase on the skiff for you to hurl it into another. But that’s something you don’t have - time.

Those Rak’gol with the rifles immediately rasp in delight at having a target before them. Three barrels are leveled at you, followed by a torrent of wailing fire. You’re able to avoid one of the streams of lead but the other two fly true. Between your armor (natural and otherwise) and your daemonic toughness, it’s like enduring a thousand beestings at once. Said beestings still hurt, however (-4 wounds).

While you act as a bullet sponge, your allies also act. Ignitrix fires off a fireball towards one of the Rak’gol who’s trying to slice open its trapped fellow. He catches alight in blue flames and starts rolling about on top of the skiff.

Acerea though? She stands and roars a challenge as she throws the now-dead fern. “THIS IS FOR VERN!”

The plant flies remarkably well, either due to good aerodynamics or pure fury from the plaguebearer. It smashes squarely into the Rak’gol bearing the cannon, sending him off balance and causing the weapon to discharge. The Rad-beam fills the immediate air above the xenos but otherwise fails to hit anything.

With another tick of the clock, your improvised weapon is ready.

Then we pull ourselves onto the Ranged skiff.

>>35417146

It's a trap option though. It'd leave us without a skiff to use.

It's not very logical though. We need one of those skiffs!

I think we'll have an easier time of taking the remaining skiff if we're hijacking it from beings who would be a lot more comfortable with us still on the balcony, instead of in their face.

We have the chains wrapped around another ship, and any action we take will involve us getting shot at unless we take them out. Once their ranged is dead, or ranged can overcome their melee.

Removal of ranged problems it is. Writing...

Hmph, that's also a good plan. But if we do take out a lot of melee people with our range, what's stopping that skiff from hovering away? We're not THAT good with the chains.

>>35416314

We are making a god damn tiny golden throne for that fern.

He may not be a god-like entity, but he deserves it more than that bag of bones does.

We'll even have it looking over the blood bath, three sexy daemons playing in a pool of blood and rubber accessories for the Fern God!

>>35417316
I like this idea. We can set up a little golden throne in our blood sauna. A little iconoclasm to add to the decor.

>>35417058

For a moment, your muscles strain against the hovercraft’s engines. Then it shudders violently and sends the Rak’gol on top of it reeling. Like one would swing a bat, you take a step to the side, whirl your arms, and release your concentration. This sends the skiff careening towards the craft with the rifle and cannon bearers, much to both occupants’ dismay. The two vehicles collide violently, instantly killing three of the aliens as the entangled mass begins to spiral downwards.

By now the other skiff has reached the balcony proper. It doesn’t show any signs of slowing down whatsoever. Worse: it’s going to crash right into the side Ignitrix is on.

I'm glad you asked, I was looking for an excuse to post this. (Picked it up in a succubus thread, of all places, a couple days ago.) Needs one less pair of horns, but still!
I liked most stuff that was posted when we talked about that. In the postgames or when we get enough infamy, let's hash out the best middle ground of the good ones.

>>35417452

Moving with purpose you step into the oncoming vehicle’s path. You squarely plant your feet shoulder-width apart and squat slightly before putting your hands out in front of you. Mere milliseconds later the skiff impacts. Not only does it stop dead in your grasp, the Rak’gol on it are sent flying over your head to land in a tangled mass somewhere behind Acerea. They screech and immediately begin rising, but not before you and Ignitrix share a few words.

“I would have been fine!” she shouts, hopping onto the skiff to mess with the controls. The engine shortly thereafter stops trying to push the craft into you. “But at least you got us this! Now go help Acerea!”

“Was that a ‘thank you’? I think it was...”

“GO.”

You release your hold on the front of the skiff and whirl on your heels. Acerea’s already dodging three glowing axes. The other Rak’gol is still trying to pick itself up off the floor.

Well let's see how well your claws fare at parrying Rad Axes.

Each success is one less hit Acerea (or you) will take. Enough degrees of success may destroy the axes outright.

>>35418307
The answer is always "Not enough."

>>35417851

You close the distance between the aliens and yourself with three powerful strides. Between the swings of the blades mounted on polearms you step into the fray. Acerea flows with your motions and those of the Rak’gol, but you do notice she’s already sporting some wounds.

The first Rak’gol tries to cleave your skull open with a downward swing. You easily catch the radioactive bit of metal and shatter it betwixt your claws before delivering powerful kick to the creatures abdomen. It’s sent backwards a few feet with the remnants of its axe still in hand.

The second is a tad more cautious. It feints with a horizontal slice on the right before jabbing at your left. You push away the actual attack with your palms, the scraping of metal on metal only barely louder than the Rak’gol’s screeches. Thinking that this has left you vulnerable, the third xenos lunges at your back. Dropping low, you catch the axe on your horns. A quick twist of your head snaps the metal in twain and sends the creature off-balance into his fellow.

As for the remaining Rak’gol, it’s now upright and charging at you.

>>35418496

Much to your surprise, Acerea steps in front of the charging alien. For a moment you’re worried that she’s gone insane from the loss of the fern. Then you remember that, unlike you, her wounds heal extremely quickly. Plus that her hide is thicker than yours. As such, when the Rak’gol’s weapon gets stuck in her shoulder, you take the opportunity to leap forward and slice the alien to ribbons. Acerea grunts and pulls out the Rad Axe from herself, the wound already stitching itself back together.

“Together?” she asks. There’s a force hiding behind her eyes that makes you wonder if you should carry around more plants for Ignitrix to slay in the future.

“Together.” You reply, turning to the remaining three Rak’gol. They, of course, howl and leap at you without pause.

Even those without weapons are still a challenge to deal with. Like the Grey Knights you fought earlier, they’re more than capable of fending off your blows with their natural weapons. Though they obviously aren’t as effective as a Rad Axe, they’re still enough to leave you with a few new marks (-3 wounds).

In taking those marks, however, you’re able to behead or gore each in turn. A jab at your chest sees that same arm wrenched back to impale its owner in through the skull. A swipe at your feet is blocked by Acerea and gives you a chance to disbowel the alien in question. The final Rak’gol falls after nicking your right cheek. For him, you take great pleasure in clutching two arms in each claw, ripping them off, and then beating it to death with them.

Silence falls momentarily before being broken by the sound of a muffled explosion from somewhere down below.

“If you’re done playing around…” shouts Ignitrix, already turning the skiff around to face away from the balcony.

Acerea and you deftly hop up onto the flat surface of the craft without pause. Before you can do so much as brace yourself, Ignitrix has the skiff rocketing out into open air. You might be imagining things but you seem to be going faster than the Rak’gol were capable of. Of course, when there’s no real point of reference other than the massive vessel ahead of you, it’s hard to tell. Either way, you’re making good progress.

Progress that’s about to be cut off by more of the xenos. Quite a few of the flying scrapheaps are making a beeline for you, all laiden with Rak’gol wielding guns.

“Hang on!” shouts Ignitrix.

“TO WHAT?!” you reply, slamming your claws into the deck and grabbing onto Acerea just as she sends the skiff into an aileron roll. A hail of bullets tears through the air below you, along with a few skiffs. Ignitrix, without missing a beat, fires three fireballs in your wake. Each impacts a Rak’gol and sends their Razor Guns flying. By the time you’re upright you’ve got two of the twisted devices to work with.

You’re hoping between them, your chains, and Iggy’s driving that you’ll make it through that “cloud” of aliens ahead of you.

>>35419926

“Here, cover me.” You pass off both Razor guns to Acerea and flick your wrists. Warp chains flicker into existence just as two skiffs, one to either side, pull up alongside you. The high pitched whine of their engines tells you that they’re close to overloading, but you’re more concerned with the fact the Rak’gol on them are holding Rad-Beam Cannons.

As they start to bring the weapons to bear, you cast out your arms wide. Your chains quickly wrap around the skiffs themselves but aren’t quite ready for you to pull on. Acerea’s ready to provide you assistance though. Her guns spit barbed slugs which tear through the Rak’gol and prevent them from getting a clean shot on you. None of the Rak’gol seem to die outright, despite several sporting wounds gushing with blood.

In all, it’s enough of a distraction for you to remain unscathed until your chains are firmly secured. Jerking your arms across your body sends the two skiffs spinning and slamming into each other right above you. The Rak’gol aboard are sent hurtling into empty space with loud screeches and cries. As for the twisted remains of the skiffs, you lasso it back towards you. Using it, you’re able to smack away a few more assailants and punch through the outer barrier of the Rak’gol swarm.

Now very much within touching-distance of The Obscenity Engine, you have only a few seconds worth of decision time to decide where to try and enter.

Portal goes fine. And you've rolled a rather interesting Phenomena with the modifier.

tribbles for the blood god?

I get the feeling khorne would somehow enjoy it. He may be a god of waton destruction and blood, but he's gotta have some sort of a soft side to him.

dear god.... it would be like khorne and slaanesh got really drunk one night and had wild and kinky sex, only for khorne to leave right before slaanesh wakes up and slaany calls him up 9 months later to let him know about his and it's lovechild!

Oh please oh please oh please let it be like this

>>35420432

These Rak’gol have been fairly interesting and worthy opponents thus far. But now that you’re in the middle of what’s easily a thousand of them, you’re eager to no longer be on this vulnerable little barge.

“Ignitrix, what would happen if you tried to portal us into the ship?”

She opens and closes her mouth twice before replying, her eyebrows furrowed. “I can get us into one of the cargobays or airlocks but something WILL happen. Possibly a very bad thing.”

A Rad-beam slices your skiff-shield in two and makes your decision for you. “Do it.”

Moving away from the controls, Ignitrix begins weaving a controlled tear in reality. The moment it’s finished two things happen. First, every single bit of technology, including the skiff you’re on, overloads within 50 meters of Ignitrix. This causes the ‘ground” to drop out beneath both you and the Rak’gol as sparks shoot out from gun and vehicle alike. Luckily for you, you have a Lady of Change who can fly with you. She quickly dives and catches both you and Acerea before heading towards the stationary portal.

The second thing that happens? Ignitrix begins sparking with electricity. By the time the three of you are through the portal all of her feathers are stuck flared out. Even her hair’s standing on end. Of course, so is yours and Acerea’s.

“Well at least it was just that,” Ignitrix spits as she waves close the portal. “It’s going to take forever to preen my plumage though.”

You chuckle and take a look at your surroundings. Wherever you are on the Engine, it’s a square room lined with a grid pattern. Perhaps large enough to fit five blood dragons in if you packed them in tightly. There’s a single door leading from the room, though it’s only just big enough for someone of your size. Beside it lies what you assume is a data shrine or console of sorts.

Can't you just shapeshift away your ruffled feathers, birdy?

>>35421239

Not when it's the Warp that caused the problem in the first place. I have to fix it myself and it takes hours.

Letting Ignitrix play with computers it is.

Nope, sorry Iggy. You suddenly can't into computers. Writing...

Now imagine that face, with all her feathers ruffled.

Rolled 55 (1d100)

>>35421338

>>35421454
Yeah, too much to hope to roll a 1

Don't we owe Iggy 2 headpats for earlier?

>>35421357

Can we use a reroll on this or something?

Can Ignitrix burn her own infamy to reroll it?

>>35421475

Sadly no. A 100 instantly seals the deal much like a 1.

>>35421475
Nah, let's just jack in the Machine Spirit after this. Unless Iggy somehow breaks the computer...

>>35421494

She doesn't track infamy, only headpats. This is just one of those rolls where you're stuck with the result. Luckily for you it's just a tech use check.

>>35421390

Oh wait, let me guess for a decent fluff-based reason for why Ignitrix horribly fails --

She's still slightly electrified from the Warp portal earlier.

>This kills the computer.jpg

Oops?

>>35421517
>only tech use
>the computer explodes and the machine spirit from before escapes

>>35421106

“You can preen yourself all you like once we’ve got this boat out from the Hulk. You think you can get anything from the terminal over there?” You motion towards the door while trying rather hard not to laugh at how silly Ignitrix looks at the moment.

“I don’t see why not. It’s not like it’ll be some Rak’gol interface or AI or…” she trails off to a low mutter before walking over and doing her thing. After a few minutes, you hear a small sniff. “I was kidding you know. Why couldn’t you be some stupid machine spirit instead?”

“Uhhh… problem?” you ask, looking over Ignitrix’s back as her wings droop.

A sudden shower of sparks rains over her as the console explodes in her face. She’s not really harmed by it unless you count her pride. So maybe a little actually. “Yes. Yes there’s a problem. I’m apparently so offensive right now to the machine spirit or AI or whatever it is that it just burnt out this console to prevent me from using it. And I think it’s an actual AI too. No machine spirit I know is that quick or touchy.”

She turns and falls against the remnants of the terminal. You might be imagining it but her eyes seem slightly wetter than usual.

Apply headpats on the move. Pick her up if that's what it takes (it's not like she can get more ruffled)

>>35421632
>[3] "Listen up! This ship has just fired the first shot. Does this mean you just roll over and die? NO! You charge over there and shoot that damn ship with his own gun! There can be no surrender on a battlefield, and Ignitrix, this is YOUR battlefield. Make this ship regret the day it decided to cross you!"

So generally stopping to deal with Best Bird while trying to be motivating in Cinder fashion. I can write that.

>>35421632

Were it anyone else you’d simply tell them to suck it up and to focus on the task at hand. Acerea and Ignitrix though? They’re basically the only two beings in the Universe you can actually rely on. At this point, you’re actually ready to call them friends. That in and of itself is a big step forward for you.

Doing your best not to seem like you’re storming over, you move to sit next to the upset bird while Acerea looks on. Her head droops into her knees before you can say anything though. “I’m fine. You don’t need to coddle me. Just rip open the door or something,” she grumbles.

“Nope. I’m going to sit here until you’re ready. We both are.” Acerea takes that cue to sit opposite you.

“But you’re a Khornate. You don’t do feelings and friends and shit like…”

You interrupt Ignitrix’s self-depreciating monologue before it can start by patting the top of her head. She immediately shudders and goes quiet. “Just because I like tearing things apart in the name of the Blood God doesn’t mean I can’t also stop to listen every once and awhile. I’d rather not make it a habit, though.”

“That’s her way of saying she likes us, Iggy.”

“I got that, thanks.”

A couple of minutes pass in silence. Ignitrix emits a couple more sniffs before finally saying, “It’s been awhile since I was reminded of my days on the run from the Inquisition. This is just like back then when I didn’t even want to breathe for fear of blowing myself up. And I’m a daemon now so it’s infinitely worse. This shouldn’t happen.”

Acerea is the first to reply. “Dear, we all know it’s this ship that’s causing your powers to go haywire. We knew that coming in. You shouldn’t beat yourself up like this because you’re right, you are a daemon.”

>>35422041

“She has a point,” you add. “I mean don’t get me wrong, if I suddenly started being as horrible at combat as that failure No-Horn, I’d be pretty upset too. But moping about wouldn’t make that problem go away. Only realizing my weakness and trying to fix it would.”

“W-Who are you and what have you done with…”

“Oh shush.” You pat her head again. “I’m just in a really good mood from actually getting a fight after so long. Like I said, I’d rather not make it a habit.”

“Sure…”

Another minute of silence, then, “I… I think that machine spirit from earlier on my data slate is still intact. I could try and use that on future terminals.”

“See? There you go. And you know what? I’ll bet there’s one on the other side of the door knowing our luck today.”

You nod at Acerea, who stands and moves to try and open the door. It automatically opens before her to a corridor running both to the left and right. The walls are just as pristine as the room you’re in, if not somehow shinier. The plaguebearer steps out and glances around, then says, “Yep! There’s one right here!”

Ignitrix sighs and pushes herself to her feet. You follow suit and trail behind her as she walks to the new terminal. She produces her data slate and begins interfacing with it. As she does, an interior map of the ship appears on the screen.
