Royal Savis Empire Space - Dis, Daskar Princeps Mines – One Year Ago

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

#24601 could not remember a time in his life without the familiar drone of heavy machinery, the crack of the rocks splitting under the handheld drill, the ticking of the debris being swept aside. The harsh barks of the Masters, half his height but walking twice as tall on the metal railing above the pit.

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

There must have been a time when he was not in the mines. Must have been. It took a fully mature adult to wield the rocksplitters, but even when he was not assigned this role #24601 could only remember ferrying water and running errands like the other undermature humans found in the Daskar Princeps mines.

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

One of the older humans had spoken of such things, a grey man numbered #35993 who kept calling himself ‘Bronson’. Mine slaves weren’t supposed to have names, #24601 had seen others beaten for even using them within earshot of the Masters.

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

Bronson hadn’t cared. He’d told #24601 and the others about a magical land, a place before the Daskar Princeps Mines where there were no Masters, no slaves and no chains. A place called Erth. Some had called him mad, but others whispered they had heard similar stories. That slaves had not always been slaves, that something had been taken from them.

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

Bronson had died in a rockslide last month. But not before he had given #24601 a name. He had given them all names, though some of the slaves had laughed at him and the old man had even been beaten severely for it when one of the Masters overhead him. But #24601 did not laugh at his name. He cherished it. Held it close. Whispered it during the night time shift to himself in his bunk. To the Masters, he was merely a number. But, hidden in a place deep within where even the Masters could not reach and take it, he was more.

He was not #24601. He was Li Wei.

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

Li Wei.

He had a name. And the Masters could not take it from him. He would not let them!

KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.
KERCHINK. TAK. TAK.

No, that wasn’t right.

Li Wei had always been Li Wei. The name had always been his, not the Masters. He had taken it back. And if he could take his name, Li Wei began to think dangerous thoughts indeed. Like what else the Masters had taken from him that was rightfully his alone. And how he might take such things back…

Royal Savis Empire - Dis, Rebel Base – Three Days Ago

Li Wei Freeman stood in line with his comrades, sleeves rolled up and smuggled weapon gripped tightly at attention. The tattoo Death to the Masters emblazoned proudly in loud words on one forearm, Death to the Empire on the other.

Li Wei Freeman did not need to pose or look fierce for the camera while their leader Breaker spoke. Weeks of training had made him fierce enough. A year on the run in the wild had made him fierce enough. A lifetime spent in chains had made him fierce enough. He did not need to act hateful as he dragged the Savis Daskar Governor to the front, bound and gagged. His hate was real enough.

“I Am Called Breaker. I Am A Breaker Of Chains.” Their Auxl leader continued to speak pidgin Imperial as one of his enormous hands came to rest over the skull of the whimpering Governor. “A Breaker Of Masters.”

The sound of the Master’s skull crumbling to a pulp under Breaker’s iron grip was music to Li Wei Freeman’s ears. Music. Another thing the Masters had taken from them. One day, they would take it all back. Every last thing. Whatever it may be. They would take it back. Today was just the beginning.

“No Gods Will Deliver Us From Our Chains. The Burden Of The Revolution Falls To Us Alone. To Every Single One Of Us.” Breaker continued speaking in his avalanche voice, not even pausing the wipe the rubble of the ruined Governor’s head from his palms. “Join Us Brothers And Sisters, For That Is The World Which We Shall Build. A World Without Gods. A World Without Masters. No Gods. No Masters.”

“No Gods!” Li Wei Freeman and the others roared. “No Masters!”

red]“No Gods! No Masters!”

CPL ‘Sharky’ Van der Meer and TPR ‘Mafia’ Alessandra were born on different sides of the deathworld moon named Clayton’s Cradle. None of you originated from the same tribe, nor even had a remotely similar clan affiliation. Sharky spent a decade in the Legio Auxilliaries, and Mafia had spent as much time working in Perspiran bars as she did joining hunting parties on the Cradle before she joined the Company. It’s been a long time for all of you since you’ve seen the jungle, if one is willing to stretch the definition far enough to put the Green Hell of home in the same broad category of this comparatively paradisal tropical realm. But that doesn’t matter one bit. There are certain things inherent in a Cradler Pack, things that a Cradler never forgets.

The three of you move in absolute silence, not even leaves of the jungle floor are disturbed by the step of your boots as you pad closer towards your quarry through the undergrowth. You speak no word and make no signal, each of the fellow members of your pack taking up their positions at precisely the right distance and angle of approach. Better than you could ever have articulated, even to your own squad. When it comes to the Hunt, especially in a familiar landscape such as this, Cradlers are without equal.

[1/4]

It is a silent sensation that signals the attack, not even a motion let alone a spoken command. On instinct the three of you stalk closer, slipping in under the wary watch of the rebels. The foremost sentries are taken down without a sound, the foliage itself seeming to launch from the ground and envelop them before they can scream. As more rebels disappear from every corner of their position, someone finally realises something is wrong.

“武器に!” Your trusty Second Crane cries out, firing a burst of peacekeeper rounds into the foliage without effect. More to alert the others than hit a target, is your guess. “To arms! She is among us!”

The rebel position explodes into chaos, your pack leaps upon the prey like a Xenogheist on a warren of Rabbitohs. In seconds, moments, the rebel squad disintegrates into a panic as you and the other Cradlers take them down one by one. Soon it’s down to just the handful of survivors scattering. Crane, Bones and Terrier try to slip out of the killzone via a dried up creek bed. But they find you there, waiting.

“It’s over, Crane.” You grin from your position on a fall tree trunk over the creek, unable to resist the temptation to gloat in your kill. Your Second and his comrades stop in their tracks, dead in the sights of your rifle loaded with peacekeeper tags. “I have the high ground.”

“I would not be so sure, Snake Eyes.” The easy tone in Crane’s voice causes your grin to slip. “You never did learn to mind your surroundings…”

At that precise moment Alexander Hail emerges from the bushes on your flank, firing in your direction. You barely have to move so as to reposition yourself out of the line of fire, and Sharky tackles him to the ground a second later. The pack instinct of a Cradler, never to be underestimated.

“Really?” You laugh, sweeping back around to put a few rounds in your Corporal. “Crane, baby, that’s insulting. I’m insulted. You thought you could flank -me- in the jungle?”

But Crane isn’t there.

“No.” For a dreadful moment you can’t pinpoint where Crane’s voice is coming from. “But I made you look.”

You leap aside as Crane lunges around the other side of the tree, his knuckleblade knife scoring a mark against the trunk. He isn’t holding back, and neither are you for that matter. Where would the fun in that be?

“Go!” Crane roars over his shoulder as you set into a fighting stance.

Bones and Terrier don’t need to be told twice, sprinting off into the foliage in the precious few moments while Sharky tangles with the squad leader and Mafia tracks down other fleeing rebels. As for you, you have more pressing concerns. Ducking another swing and lunging forward, you balk as you read Crane’s feint and adjust your swing. He’s no pussycat, but you only need an opening to draw your mag pistol and sink a peacekeeper round in.

“It is not so easy, is it Natalya?” Crane hisses with the exertion of fending off your attack, stopping you from getting a proper grip. “When your opponent is facing you.”

“What in the Void is that supposed to mean?” Your eyes narrow as you try to build some distance, just enough to plug in. If you hadn’t been so focussed on the fight, if you hadn’t been so pumped full of adrenaline, maybe understanding would have come to you.

Instead you feint left and slink right, drawing your mag pistol to pop off a shot. But Crane doesn’t give you the opening, his knuckleblade slamming down on your firearm and fouling your aim. He follows up, closing the distance with some fancy footwork that a girl like you kind of envies. He is all water and flowing movement against your stone and raw strength. It’s a finely balanced distance the two of you struggle in, split-moments stretching into seconds. To give you too much distance will expose him to another shot, to get too close will put him at the mercy of your superior strength in a grapple. On an even playing field, with a blade that gave him some distance to work with, he might have had you.

But you are a daughter of the Green, and nowhere in the 'verse is there such a thing as an even playing field. You fake a misstep and this time it fools him, he launches forward point-first at your knee. Instead of faltering to the side you spring forward, gripping the fist of his wielding the knife in your left hand and slamming your right elbow down on his arm. To be perfectly honest you didn’t even think twice about it, taking the knife out of play was unrestrained instinct on your part. But you may have overdone it there. If you didn’t know better, you wouldn’t have thought you even made an impression. But you felt the bone break.

“Oh scud!” You leap back, bouncing on your heels with your mag pistol trained on him. “Um… look our resident cabbage will get that fixed right up in no time, I’m sure.”

Crane narrows his eyes at you, and despite the advantage you hold right now you have to make an effort not to flinch. You’ve seen groan men squeal at broken bones, but Crane barely lets out a muffled grunt. His faint grimace being the only outward sign of the immense pain he’d be in.

“Look I’m really sorry, honest. But you had a knife! It was pointy and everything!” You smile sheepishly behind the sights of your mag pistol. “…Do you want to keep going? Please say no.”

To your relief Crane sighs, clutching his broken arm and looking down at the forest floor.

“No… I yield.”

Well thank the Green’s Gooch for that. You think to yourself. You really didn’t want to have to go looking for a new Second. You like this one.

We need to talk to Crane after this. We also need to talk to Boy and make sure he knows that if he gives us another "special requirement" on another assignment, there might be a "problem" or "complication".

>>4907584
>We need to talk to Crane after this
Apologize for the arm and subtle third degree for that crack? Yeah.
But it's a bit late in the game to talk to Boy about being his hachetwoman. Best we can do is get enough of the Xenophobe voters to veto any attempt to get us to kill any Company Xenos. Hopefully.

>>4907611
I will agree, however if company xenos are dicks to us I can not guarantee not voting to kill

you've been pushing this for two threads now, and I've been telling you, it is a stupid idea to talk to your superior officer in a way that might be perceived as a threat or a challenge to his authority.

>>4907662
Reminder that Casket (probably) killed her previous superior and got away with it.
Casket was also very much into the idea of killing one of the rebels.
My theory is that her previous sergeant was uncooperative/unwilling to follow an order of that sort and got offed to keep him quiet as well as replacing him with someone less scrupulous.

I'm not saying do it with others around, and I am attempting to convey they impression we should convey, not the exact words. Boy knows we can get the job done and he knows to give assignments to the best suited squads. Casket is a cold bit hand would do something like that without hesitation. Heavenly literally thinks hes on a mission from God, so he wouldn't have an issue with it. We shouldn't be direct an say we wont do it, but we should say "gee willikers LT, that assignment sure bummed me out, I sure hope you wont give me another one like that." Saying an assignment would make us feel like shit wont make Boy blink unless there is some level of resistance or warning of resistance. Better to make our objections known before they are needed, otherwise he will not budge.
>>4907611
Its never too late for it. Too late would be before any mission where we are told to do something like that.
I wasn't talking about the arm. He almost certainly knows we shot the bug on our last op. I also believe his Void Nightmare involved getting betrayed, so seeing someone he fought alongside get shot by someone they thought they could trust would definitely put some ice in his gut.
>>4907863
Not an explicit challenge, merely stating that we arnt the best for such an objective and be implicit with the rest. If we are given another such order that is less palatable, such as killing human children, literal millions of xenos(probably of the plant or turtle variety), or, god help us, a member of our squad, we can try to disobey it in the best way possible. I mealy wish to find the best way of minimizing how much we anger our CO and maximizing our odds of getting written of from accomplishing such objectives.

>>4908053
>Its never too late for it
We already did it. We refuse the next one, he can just threaten to leak the info we did it to the Rebels, and then it's our word against the man who let them know. Sure hope the next one is nobody we like, because it's too late to be anyone but Eichmann
"Just following Orders."

>>4908059
Like hell it is. I was kind of annoyed with Forgotten that we were only given the option of talking to one person after the op on the way back to base. We should have been able to talk to Boy after debriefing.As I said, I don't want to flat out refuse to do it if told to. I want Boy to know that we are not the squad for such a job. And if we still get the order and its someone we care about. We do the rest of the op. we do it to perfection, better even. And we discreetly get the person marked for death out of there. Its unlikely that boy will kill, fire, or demote us, though if he finds out he will likely punish us. He is a practical man.He wont beat a squad that accomplishes 95% of objectives with flying colors for purposefully botched tertiary objectives, at least no more than once. that seems like a gamble worth taking.

>>4908059
>We refuse the next one, he can just threaten
Then wait until he threatens us instead of folding at just a thought of a possibility of a threat, you pussy.

I don't Crane really knows what Nat did but he pieced together a few details and has suspicions. Not exactly impossible given his past in the organized crime.

That said, I'll call bullshit if he tries to claim some high moral ground.

Critfail = Well, that was embarrassing. Hoisted by your own petard. Training exercise ends.
Double Fail = Poor counterweights. -1 Adverse Re-Roll to next Physical test.
0 = You fail to identify any likely paths of approach. The rebels avoid your traps by pure luck rather than alertness. Lesson ends.
1 = There’s too many variable pathways, you’re forced to spread your traps thin. The rebels won’t even wander near most of them.
2 = You mark out several likely spots, uncertain which exact path the rebels will take but narrowing it down enough that they will certainly encounter at least one trap.
3 = You identify an avenue where the rebels are almost certain to take and litter the area thick with traps. Their back-up path once they realise the danger is also very trappable.

Critfail = Well this is embarrassing. Turns out the trigger mechanism you set was a little -too- delicate. Exercise ends. Take an AV save.
Double Fail = Lethal edge. The trap you set is a tad more deadly than you intended.

1 = Flimsy trap. Your cunning craftsmanship is unlikely to trip up any rebels that do encounter them. +1 Adverse Re-Roll to Lesson Learnt.
2 = Sturdy traps. The traps you have set will do the trick, but they’re too thinly spread out to ensure the rebels encounter them. You will need to give them a bit of an incentive…

What is the rebel trainees mission during this exercise anyways?

If it is just 'survive' then it doesn't make too much sense for them to wander around the jungle in small squads, so they've got to be trying to achieve something, right?

By the way, something that has been bugging me for a while: what was the name of the Archmage in Prince's BCQ? Anton...

Antonius? Antonidas? Antonissimo? Was it ever something we could've just guessed or was it some really obscure nonsenical Anton* name?

I think you mean the employer? I'm sure I told you guys in the epilogue but I cannot for the life of me remember.

>rebel trainee mission
Well first it is 'survive' yes, but they are also expected to hunt you and patrol the designated zone between several agreed checkpoints.

I was thinking of some scoring system for how many times they reach a checkpoint to justify them always being on the move instead of hunkering down. But honestly hadn't elaborated on it more than that in my head.

==========================

Kerim’O’Kas was starting to hate the jungle. The humidity alone… Sure, it beat the arid highlands of Dis, but she constantly felt like that inbetween moment of getting out of a warm pool and starting to sunbake. By the Sunken Islands she missed home. But she had more important things to worry about more, and people needed her. She had to be an example to her comrades, anything less was unworthy of the cause.

But a fresh sea breeze would have been a fine thing indeed.

“Indigo?!” The rebel next to O’Kas called up in to forest ceiling in Imperial pidgin. “Are you alright?”

…yeah… yeah, I think I’m okay!” Came the somewhat hesitant response.

It was a pleasant surprise, given that one mintue ago the unfortunate rebel had been flung up in an explosion of leaves and was now suspended in a tangle of ropes several metres off the ground above them. This ‘Snake Eyes’ was reported to be an master of jungle warfare, and this daily torment was apparently her idea of training them. One day O’Kas would have to go back to her academy drill sergeants and thank them for being such a bunch of softies.

“Okay just hang in there, Indigo!”

“Are you trying to be funny right now, Werkal?” The Asandi rebel, and it was an odd thing indeed to see an armed Asandi anywhere, managed to sound appropriately indignant at his current situation.

“What? No, I mean it!” His Quexi comrade on the ground croaked. “We’ll cut you down in just a second.”

[1/3]

No sooner than had Werkal spoken when three peacekeeper rounds slammed into the net, and the rebel tangled in them. The rebel Indigo gave a piteous mewl of pain before falling silent, those electrifying tags could really mess the Avian species up.

“Contact! East flank!”

“Hssk. Oh boy, here we go again… Hssk.”

The remaining rebels flew into a flurry of actions, running and diving for cover. They nearly set off the half-dozen more traps that they had just spotted and marked out after Indigo’s mishap.

“Watch that ridge!” The voidborn raider ‘Terrier’ snarled at the nearest wide-eyed rebels in fluent Imperial Pigdin.

“What?” The nearest wide-eyed rebels stared at her in confusion. “The shots are coming from the east!”

“Did she fragging stutter? Eyes on that ridge!” Kerim’O’Kas warbled sharply. She liked Terrier, she might be one of the few off-worlders that actually believed in what they were doing. Few of the pirates seemed to share her devotion, although admittedly they weren’t as temperamental either. O’Kas trusted Terrier’s judgement for the most part too, but all the same she crawled, with some difficulty, through the undergrowth to voice her own uncertainty. “Why -are- we shoring up on the opposite flank?”

“Because She knows we know She’s on the east flank.” Terrier muttered, eyes warily scanning jungle ahead from her crouched position. “And if Snake Eyes knows we know, she knows we know we’ll try to backtrack, you know?”

“Yes…” O’Kas nods. Then she shakes her head. “No. I don’t comprehend.”

“I’m -saying-” Terrier bites out each word, breathing through her nose in what appeared to be a human sign of frustration. O’Kas liked her, but she could be quite prickly sometimes. “That if I was her and I had a couple of spare guys while we’re pinned down here, that ridge is where I’d put them to cut off our exit.”

“So we watch the ridge?”

“So we watch the ridge.”

“You’re sure it’s clear?”O’Kas cleared her throat, the human tongue was tricky. Especially given that her species didn’t have tongues so to speak.

It had been hours now, huddled in the undergrowth trying to avoid stepping on traps and the odd peacekeeper tags sent their way to keep their heads down. No sign of exactly where from, but it must be an elevated position and some distance away. Kerim’O’Kas had seen the effects of close-range peacekeeper shots on Perspira during the Troubles, this weren't that. Husk said She was just playing with them, and Terrier pointed out that if they had a proper assault in mind they’d have done it immediately before the squad dug in. But they couldn’t wait here forever before their next checkpoint and resupply, so they had covered as best they could Convict while he marked out a path through the trap littered zone.

“Yeah, it’s clear. It’d be kind of embarrassing if the bomb expert got taken out by a trap, huh?” Kerim’O’Kas didn’t like the raider Convict. For one thing, his very name implied he had a criminal record. “Relax, your highness. It’s perfectly safe, I defused it. Pretty simple contraption actually, easy to spot and easy to disarm.”

“Why do you keep calling me ‘highness’? I am not royalty.” O’Kas trilled, Her crest ruffling huffily.

“It’s a… nevermind.” Convict rolled his eyes, crinkling up his expression in a way that was particularly unappealing on his flesh human face. “You Drax really can’t take a joke, can you?”

“We can too take a joke!” That settled it. The convicted criminal was definitely here least favourite.

Sure, you people can take a joke and I can win a beauty cont-“ Whatever off-hand insult Convict was about to offer was abruptly cut off when a log twice his size suspended on vines as thick as arms swept down with a sharp crack and flung the squad’s bomb expert several feet in the air before gravity corrected his direction with her usual mercilessness.

Kerim’O’Kas ducked, as did everyone else, but nothing followed. After a few moment she peered over into the pit.

“You’re right. It is kind of embarrassing.”

Convict could only offer a pained groan in response.

If we've done our work well petal is going to have a bunch under medic and this stands as a good example of inflicting a demoralising blow when they are vulnerable.

I agree with this guy. It's an unknown type of alien for Nat, so she wants to throw down with it to find out it's place in the galactic pecking order.

Also we already did preying on the weak, it was our warm up lesson.

I think there's a reluctance in general to make any of the rebels look bad in front of the troops by beating them up and running off with them like some kind of old timey movie monster.

>>4910547
meh, I agree that we shouldn't publicly humiliate the guy we have pecked as leader, but everything else is fair game. And who knows, depending on our roles the little fella might even come out on top.

Leadership Test: The Finer the Bait, the Shorter the Wait – Selling the Bait

I know there would be more involved in deceiving a squad of rebels, but I think a leadership test is the best way to represent it in this instance.
Critfail = Well that was embarrassing. Take an AV save. Training exercise ends.
Double Fail = Taking the ‘fake’ out of faked injury. +1 Adverse Physical Re-Roll.
0 = The rebels don’t take the bait, but this is more due to obliviousness than an wisdom on their part. Lesson ends.
1 = The rebels don’t fall for your wounded act, but there is still a chance this could result in them learning. Lesson Learnt test -10DC, +2 Adverse Re-rolls.
2 = The rebels have bought your moment of weakness and give pursuit, now you need to lead them on a merry chase and give them the slip. Physical test.
3 = Hook, line and sinker. The rebels jump at the chance at turning the tables, completely unaware you’re running circles around them as they give chase. +1 Physical Re-Roll. +1 Wetwork Re-Roll. +1 Leadership Re-Roll to Lesson learnt.
Double Pass = Appear weak when you are strong. +1 Physical Re-Roll.
Critpass = Master of Deception. You’re great at this, you should have been an actor. +2DC Leadership (permanent). +1 Save to Wetwork.

3 rolls of 1d100. You have THREE re-rolls. Your opponents have ONE re-roll.

Critfail = Well, that was embarrassing. Reduce vitals by 1. Training exercise ends.
Double Fail = Wait, something’s not right… The negative modifier from the Squaddies is doubled for the next test.
0 = Intercepted. These rebels can run. You’re forced to make a difficult Close Encounter test to give them the slip. +1 Adverse Lesson Learnt Roll. Close Encounter test.
1 = A little close for comfort. The rebels are behind you, but they’re catching up fast. This will make slipping away difficult. +1 Adverse Wetwork Re-Roll.
2 = Lead them to the lair. You have the rebels where you want them, now to give them the slip… Wetwork test.
3 = Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me. I’m a Cradler, man. +1 Wetwork Re-Roll.
Double Pass = Breathless, spread out and lost their bearings. In addition, your usual squaddies are too scattered to warn the rebels this may be a trap.
Critpass = Cradleborn Olympian. +1 Re-Roll to Physical Tests (permanent).

SECOND VOTE (running concurrently with the this >>4910737

Narratively, it makes sense that the kudos goes to one of your squaddies given that it was an adverse squaddie re-roll that got the crit. I'll put it to a vote as to which of your squaddies got the jump on you.

I just don't see him being surprised by much or really caught off guard. He seems the type to just respond automatically and ruthlessly. I could see him analyzing all of our previous battles, seeing us vanish and then just pivot, aim, bang. We're stunned.

Oof. How do you deal with a killbot? Without something like IR goggles it's not like there are many ways to notice it. If it's got a quiet motor it may blend in with the sounds of the jungle. Never shifts its weight or adjusts. No bathroom breaks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o62y_I19UI&ab_channel=FilmicBoxOfficial – Nines go BRRRRT

“She’s wounded.” You can hear the harsh snap-click of Hassk’s tone, the Zaan ranger always was one to look out for any opportunity to shift the balance of odds in their favour. “And she’s close. If we can take her now…”

A thin cut on the leg is just the selling point called for, enough blood to convince them it’s serious but not anything that will actually hinder your performance. Just like that time back home with the Carnotaur that was infringing on your territory.

I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy

“I don’t know…” That must be Bones, you wandered where he had ran off to. “Petal may be right, it sure wasn’t us that wounded her. Could be a trap.”

“Maybe. Maybe not. We won’t get a better chance at coming out on top than right now. Let’s go.”

“++Acknowledgement. Revising possible scenarios with updated information.++”

"You're the boss..."

It isn’t long until the rebels find you. Or rather, you -let- them find you in the middle of bandaging your ‘wound’.

“There! She’s over there!”

“Go! Take her!”

You leap into the bush with what you feel is the appropriate amount of flustered panic and desperate determination. The trick isn’t outrunning the rebels, that’s easy. The real skill is hanging back enough so that they don’t lose sight of you, but not so close that they might actually bag you with a lucky shot.
