Woo--ooh MAN! You would not BELIEVE

how bad my internet is.

Sorry for being so slow, but hey, It's back.

Understandable if you need to check the previous thread here: //suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/15190094/

I'll wait while you do it. No rush. This could be long one.

*

I mean, you'll be able to get a little bit from these un-spellchecked blue explanation screen thingies I guess, but given that this episode is plot based, and largely about uncovering what exactly is going on here (WORDSWORDSWORDS) background info may do you some good.

*

As long as this has been taking, I assume the chick we stuffed into the auto-doc is all done being patched up?

Heh. Not how it works sadly.
Let us see how things are going. though.

*

Pre emptive pause menu.
It's good to know how you're going.

Go RIGHT to go down the life and give Daneel a hand. I think that's what we were in the middle of doing last time.

You're already down the lift

*

poke him with a stick!

You poke the soldier with the butt of your gun, to make sure he's dead, as it wouldn't be the furst time someones survived a las shot to the head. You hear a familiar crinkle of foil and discover he is infact carrying a RATION BAR

*

Go into the Lounge and look for porn.

...No, seriously, do it, maybe we can pull a Metal Gear Solid-esque distraction with it at some point. There might also be some hint as to what's been going on in this place.

No porn. But it looks like more soldiers bought it.
And the soda machine too.

Leo mentions that SHE has some porn (the stuff you gave her), but doesn't think it'll work on the guards.

*

loot every thing. and look for the deathwound on the poor sappist. might clue us in on who exactly killed em.

You continue to loot the bodies, this one looks like he was holding a NIP OF HOOCH

According to Leokadia, the bodies weve found so far were killed by a lasgun shot to the head, being roasted by a melta and in this one's case, hit in the mouth with an concealed blade, which she identifies as Lock's weapon of choice.

*

Your dataslate begins to beep, and it turns out Vilmos has sent you a digimail.

*

have we seen a melta on anything other than that sentry?

No, all the security team were carrying shot guns.

lets check this map.

WOW...just WOW...is it shitty.

Vilmos, don't quit your day job.

*

stash collection: go! map viewing: activate!

forcibly ripping coins from soda machine: commence!

in that order.

You concider raiding the coins, but Leokadia gives you a reproachful look, and reminds you that all coins collected from Caine Cola machines go towards raising money for the Commissar Caine foundation for bigger pauldrons.

Well good, Daneel has been doing his job.
We got the sentry gun up and running, that had a Bolter, Plasma, AND Melta on it. There are 2 traitors still unaccounted for.
Also, CHECK BEHIND FRIDGE!

We should check on Nel, those bastards might have killed her in her tube!

Behind the fridge you find 9 stubber rounds, which you load into the pistol you found, and a pack of Imperial Guard Collector Cards (WITH GUM!)

You go to check on Nel and find Lock jury rigged to her tube. He seems pretty calm.

*

the fuck is she if he's plugged into her tube? demand explanations for this bullshit.

Ask him what happened. You know 5 guys went down to fuck shit up (we've now seen 4 corpses) but have no idea what happened then. Also, why is he wired to Nel's Tube?

Lock blinks and stirsand explains that while the guards were no real problem, one of them did damage the chrio tubes, including Nel's, then another left a demolition pak as a parting gift.

Lock gave up some of his parts and rigged the TRANSPONDER to be temporarily outgoing, allowing Daneel to jump through, with the demo-pak, hopefully to somewhere further away.

Daneel wanted Boone to know "Happy hunting old girl"

Lock explains that, the damage done to the tubes, combined with him giving up so many of his parts, now means that he and the tube need to be joined for both to keep functioning. He doesn't really mind, as he has tea.

*

Alright, how long until Nel is better?
She has the bit we need to fix the TRANSPONDER to work again. We can use that to get Daneel back. Also we'll need to fix Lock sometime.
Then we crack this shit WIDE OPEN!

Nels still going to be in there for at least another 8 hours of game time. Pretty serious De-Tox she has there.

When you talk about getting Daneel back by fixing the Transponder, Lock shakes his head.

'Doesn...work...tha way..'

Lock will need some pretty serious help to fix him. He shrugs.
'No rush. Daneel left his tea and tabs.'

*

Can we still use the Transponder AT ALL? Or Daneel back? We should check it out.
Also, loot the last traitor. Then find the final body. AND OPEN THE GUM TO GET THE CARD!

The transponder could be repaired if you find the right parts, but even then it could only bring someone in, the parts used to make it outgoing would have been fried, apparently. Still, it might bring Daneeel back. MIGHT.

WAIT WAIT! We're int he Med Bay, and our delicious brown killer needs her some healing. We can;t use the tube, but there must be some OTHER healing items here.

The medical supplies here are seem to have been damaged, it was just some saline, so it's of little consequences. Leokadia glances at you:

'Can you heal people? I've heard Psykers can do that'

You open the GUM and recieve a STICK OF GUM and COMMISSAR COLLCTER CARD.

JAES QUALLEN!

The body in the medbay had no loot. Let's find that last guy.

*

Also, didn't the Gum give us Psy Points? If so chew it and get the card.

Looks like this guy was staking out the transpoder room in case of this eventuality. He was lasgun'd through the eye for his trouble.

You chew the gum, the flavour last all of 13 seconds, but its great while it lasts.

*

lootlootlootloot

Loot him. We have 8 more hours before we can use this Transponder.
Hey, wait... should we take some Armor for us and the girls? I mean, sure they traitors had it, but they only defaced their shotguns, didn't they? The Torso Armor should still be good. Even then Leo can re sanctify it, right? And we know AT LEAST C-16 can wear it, even if she refuses to.

You loot the last guy and it looks like he was holding some kind of strange locket, it bares the inscription "nostrum caligo hora" and has an Aquilla on it, so it's on the level. You loop it around your neck.

You mention the armor idea to Leokadia, who looks absolutely revolted.
"You what people do once they're dead?! Besides, none of it would fit."

"You know what people do once they're dead"*

sorry.

*

We wouldn't have to take the PANTS, just the Torso armor. It's all standard issue one-size-fits-nobody armor anyway.
Also, do either of the girls know what the inscription is?

"One size fits all for THESE guys maybe. It doesn't take voidborns like me or women of your..."

Leokadia thinks carefully

"...carriage into account. Besides, these guy's are heretics."

You think back to your High Gothic lessons. The inscription means 'our darkest hour'

*

Where the hell is Vilmos anyway?

Somewhere hidden, having private time with a photo of his SSW.

Hmmm... rub the locket, see if it opens or something. And Look at C-19. She was a GI Jane, does she want Armor? Or is her "I wanna die to be with my Horsie" thing too strong?
Also... now what? We killed at the Security WE knew about. Should we just hurl all these bodies into the incinerator and be on our merry way up?

The locket does nothing when you rub it, but you are able to appreciate its quality. It feels damn near unbreakable despite sounding mostly hollow.
You do a mental checkback to the security guards and realise there is one more dead than was even part of the original turn out. You can be pretty confident you've cleaned out all the guards in this shaft.

(GM: You have)

Hey wait a tic. Do the RATION BARs heal? If they do give that one to C-19. Beef her up a bit. (If not, break it into three parts. We all haven't eaten in a while and this is better then nothing)

Ration Bars restore PSY to full, or 3 points if you eat it in halves.

Peelz give health (d100) you have one measure left

Nip of hooch is wicked strong, and would surely floor you if you drank even a little. It's some sort of Volstroyan brew.

*

>It's some sort of Volstroyan brew.
disinfectant, right.

well, everything seems dead or stable down here, shall we check the upstairs again, sans the imprisonment and heretics?

You go back up to the poorly spelled corridor.

Would the Nip of Hooch heal C-16? She's a strong girl, she probably wouldn't get drunk.
Otherwise, we should try to heal C-16, twice for maximum, then eat the ration bard.
NO NO! Eat Half, gain full psy points!

You give the flask to C-16, who sniffs it, nod approvingly then drains it in one swig. You eat half the chocolate and are restored to 5 psy points.

We should gather up ALL the shotgun shells we can from the dead traitors. Their GUNS may have been defaced, but the shells weren't. We have no means of firing them, YET, but there may be an Armory up ahead.
Also, DUMP BODIES IN INCINERATOR! BURN HERETICS!

You gather up some shotgun shells, it looks like they spent most ofthem, but you collect a modest handful. They seem sanctioned.

*

EXCELLENT! She has her World Breaker Attack back.
Now BURN THE BODIES IN THE INCINERATOR BURN HERETIC BURN! We should also check the traitors for Comm Beads before the burn.
Take the flask back from C-16 and get rid of the can. The flask is a superior container. Keep the Shells. Maybe we can improvise a trap or something with them, or get a shotgun ourselves. Keep a lookout for communications gear. It would be helpful to keep in contact with Lock and each other.

You set about disposing of the bodies, checking them for combeads (nope), and the can, while you're at it (C-16 does most of the lifting) as you go to collect Wellington's body. You remember there IS a comm station but it only seems rigged to one person, whos voice is garbled, and seems increasingly ill at ease.

*

Make static noises. No wait, get the TECHPRIEST to make static noises and make is sound like equipment failure. That should help... I hope.
After that, try to salvage parts from the Comm gear. For either Lock or the Transponder.

Leokadia does a masterful impersonation of static as she sets about trying to find useful parts in the machine. Sadly, there are no THENEZZ-AUGER parts like the ones used in Lock and the Transpoder, but it does use the same JQ-CROSS powersystem she does, which she uses to restour her internal battery.

This HAS fried the comms device though.

Boring conversation anyway.

In case you're wondering, C-16 is hefting away the last body, she'll be back soon.

So which room first?

W.C or Processing?

*

GOOD JOB LEO! Give her a hug if she'll allow it.
WAIT for C-16, then check out the other rooms, in order from closest to farthest. we'll need to take what loot we can.
And lets check our inventory, that way you have to update it and draw the shells and such.

You hug Leo again, which as last time, is awkward on account of your height differences, but pleasent, you suppose.

Also, silly anon, I had already drawn the shells.

The interrogation room. We MIGHT be able to harvest pieces from the torture equipment, or at least maybe some improvised weapons and tools.
Then the WC JUST to see what it is, then processing.

The intergogation room is empty. Okom was just punching Leo.

processing.

processing is closer, so so far it's gonna be processing.

*

Wouldn't punching someone with METAL IN THEIR GUTS just make your hand hurt? I suppose he could have punched her in the face, but again AGUMETICS would just make his hand hurt.
Speaking of which, can Leo recharge our Laspistol's power pack? it may not be a powerful weapon, but I'd feel a LITTLE safer with a full power pack.

Leo is not particularly heavily augmented, Okom made sure to find her soft spots first.
Leo know Luminen BLAST not Luminen CHARGE, so sadly, she can't recharge weapons.

Processing seems to mean data processing.

There is a dead techpriest in the corner, Leokadia recognizes him as her Senior in the med-bay who very suddenly went up the elevator yesterday.

*

OH DAMN! Well... Lets check him out. How he died, what we can tell from the body...
Anything useful on his person that might help us. BUT BE RESPECTFUL! Also, check out the computers. What can we learn from them?

It seems Godek here came down with a terminal case of multiple shotgn blasts to the midsection.

You check over his body:
He has clasped in his hand, an AQUILLA which Leo assures you you may take.

His innards reveal two things:
What seems to be a DATASCRIBER part way through printing, but with its power wire severed.

And a series of coloured switches surrounding some sort of chamber.

*

There's something whit eon top of the computer. There's that thing in the corner, and it LOOKS like a hatch in the ceiling. CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS WELL!

The white thing on the computer is just part of the computer, the hatch in the ceiling, connects all the other rooms. It seems a reduntant form of conveyance, now, but you do find yourself wishing you'd noticed it last episode.

Allies screen, because it's so facinating.

*

can we reconnect the power-wire with a coin or something? At very least we can go get a wire from the fried comm gear. Also, ask Leo about the chamber. She's the expert, but the printing needs to finish first.

The coin rpves to small to bridge the gap.
Leo bites her lip and apologises, she's pretty sure all the wires in the com station are fused now.

"Something..moist..or metal that can bridge the gap.I guess, I could just use my hand if I must..."

*

The Aquilla completes the circuit, and the page finishes printing, it reads (BACE FOR WORDS)

It will only take the ruffian outside a minute or so to break through the door, at which point I am quite sure they will gun me down, thus I have opted to commit my final thoughts to my internal memory banks, then sever my data output cable. it is my reasoning that anyone with enough brains to repair the cable, is someone I can entrust this information to. The jarheads here would never think to do this.
Anyway. I have long suspected this mining facility to be corrupt. Certainly the techpriests here were in order, but before long I was seeing the defacement of Holy symbols and the removal of blessed heraldry and it became apparent that the fools here worship another.
As a techpriest, I was too far removed from the inner workings of the hierachy here, but fortunately an Inquisitorial agent posing as one of the guards began corresponding with me. Through our combined investigation, we have begun to uncover some truly horrific revelations about this place.
Lamentably, he was discovered, and a vast majority of this data has been lost. The most damning of all evidence I have transferred to external disk drive and hidden on the premises, quite sure that the codes and syphers between me and the agent will be too complex for anyone dumb enough to follow a false god.
When I heard about what happened to the agent, I tried to flee to the surface, but was injured, and onl made it as far as this room. I sent an Imperial Coded distress signal, that I hope has made it.
I emplor you, loyalist. You must finish what I and the agent have begun. You must stop these people and their abominable false Empire. There are 3 final things you must know.
1. I will commit my parts to those of logical thought
2. The great mind behind this whole empire is quite literally beneth my shit
3. I'm sorry, Leo. I couldn't tell you why I was leaving. They'd've shot you too. Forgive me.

*

>2. The great mind behind this whole empire is quite literally beneth my shit
FUCKING NURGLE!
Ok Leo, what do you make of this, and whats that Chamber?

Leo shrugs.

"It's some sort of unbrakable internal safe. We can't use his parts without cracking this code. It's designed to ensure only loyalist sna those of logical thought may use such parts. But I'm too much of a novice to crack it."

Leokadia presses the blue switch, then the white switch, at which point the blueswitch jumps back up.
She sighs to herself.

*

Leo, you are a GOOD techpriest! You ARE logical and you CAN crack the code. You have a computer in your head more powerful then the dataslate in our pocket. (which she can totally use if it will help in any way) YOU ARE CREDIT TO TEAM! CRACK THAT CODE, FUCK YEAH!
And we'll get you more porn if you do, we promise.

I am giving you guys a PUZZLE for YOU to do.

Oh... well then the pep talks were for naught. I'm used to Boone being pretty worthless.
What's the puzzle? We'll need a list of switches, an a visual aide. Detailed visual aide.

Well, not for nothing, in this game you play as all the characters, you determine much of their actions. We can assume for this segment it is in fact Leokadia who is pressing the switches.

But it is YOU anon, as Leokadia who must crack the puzzle. So the pep talks are for you.

I believe in you anon.

Press the buttons in this order:
orange white blue red green yellow purple. Note what happens after each button press.

The last 4 button pressed stay down.

*

Boone and Cultist chan should get together.

Posting my fav boon image.

That image actually WAY pre-dates Boone, I was thinking of that image when I first tried to draw a female psyker (which became Boone) same as I was trying to remember circleA's cultist drawing when I drew Cultist (and missed the mark hugely)

I should probably buy circleA a beer if we meet. They don't look so much alike, but I owe a bit to his drawings.

back to the game?

*

... Push buttons at Random until we find out what sequence they need to be to stay down.
Not really, we know that blue followed by white is wrong. So, Starting with Orange, we press Orange, then white. If orange pops up, we press orange again and then blue. If it pops up again we try red. Once we've tried all the buttons starting with orange, (if we find that orange isn't the starting color) we move on and do the next button. Wash, rinse, repeat until we find out the right combination.
This MAY take awhile, but seeing as how we don't seem to have a limit on tires, we just keep doing this.

This method is acceptable, but it will have pretty severe time consequences if you do. I'd need a consensus.

Also, there is a BLACK button no one seems to have seen. Just thought you should know.

ARG. Where is the black button? below purple?
Try O W B R G Y P K. Note what happens after each push.

Orange..
White (orange clicks up)
Blue (white clicks up)
Red...
Green...
Yellow...
Purple...
Black...

Red green yellow purple and black are down.
Next?

BWORGYPK. Calling it.

Blue (all buttons except blue jump up)
White (Blue Jumps up)
Orange (white jumps up)
Red (orange jumps up)
Green
Yellow
Purple
Black

here we are again.

*

RGYPKWOB?

The chamber springs open dramatically revealing a THENEZZ-AUGER HYPERCONDUCTOR, this thing is crazy useful and rare as fuck. Use it wisely.

Congratulations!

Leo nod and smiles to herself "I remember now: 'it matters not where the pairs go, only that they remain pairs'"

Godek, you think, would be proud.

*

Come on C-16! Join in the celebration!
Also, Leo should hold onto this thing, as she is probably the only one who can use it.
Now, can any of his OTHER parts be used to help Lock, or upgrade Leo?
Then check out the machinery in the room and the computer.

With a few gestures you indicate to C-16 to say something nice to Leokadia, she struggles but remembers something she saw Daneel say to someone that made them smile in the past, so she assumes its a good thing to say.

Leokadia takes the part gratefully holding it aloft with admiration before storing it inside herself. She'll keep it safe.

None of Godeks other parts are much use, with his last rites fulfilled, his internal printer starts printing page after page of binary, as a form of burial.

You have 2 Cogitators here. One seems to be for controlling functions of the facility, the other for the storage of data.

Functions is left (CogA)
Data is right (CogB)

*

Very Good C-16. Though you may have to work on your vocabulary.
First get a Better map then what we have from CogA, See if you can find a Security Feed to get a better lay of the land, and find out what they DO here. Then check out CogB.

You go to access Cog A. Looks like its password protected.

We SHOULD also check the crawlspace above the room. You know, just in case there are some goodies hidden up there.
Oh ey, I know Leo has SOME offensive powers, but would she accept the stubber for added protection? Or the Laspistol and WE use the stubber.

You peer into the vent, there is nothing there.
Leokadia hefts the stubber, admires its quality, and holsters it.

Groovy, now shes armed better,
Hey Leo, any idea what the password would be?

Leo shrugs.

"It has to be something the programmers can all agree on. Something they have in common."

*

Try MARS

The cogitator does NOT like that password. Leokadia jolts it, giving it a hard reset, and encourages you to try again, but to be careful, as it drains her PP to do that.

*

pear?

P-E-A-R!

That did it!

*

FE, the BD if there's no xenos.

The scan detects low XENOS levels in MINE D it barely registers. The sfaft itself is clear.

You launch the emergency flares and hear a very faint launching noise above you.

You open the two closed bulkheads you're not sure what that will...
CLANG!
What the fuck was that?!

*

OH SHIT WE BROKE THE STATION!
Get Weapons ready, just in case. Then have Leo download the Data from CogB into either her head or our dataslate. QUICKLY

You order Leokadia to COG B, but she is unable to gain access.

Your COMMBEAD is ringing.

*

vilmos heke ?

did wellington have a first name ?

almost! Anyway you have time to remember (check) as you have opted to answer the commbead.

*

Unknown, but minor, Xeno infiltration, but mainly all the security personnel have turned Traitor. Also, one of our allies was sent through a transponder and we have no idea as to his location. We also have two critically wounded. One a techpriest wired to a (whatever) tube, and the second is the patient IN the tube. She won't be out for another few hours.

He sounds matter-of-fact but understanding.

*

he goes on to say that frm the surface, your signal is coming from a far larger facility, which is part of a large, hive like (thought not a hive) City.

The city is apparently on full alert, with gun batteries and small fighters, many carrying non Imperial weapons being launched against the imperial fleets, which Toullende admits, are pretty sparce.

The Imperium was not expecting this much defence.

He offers that, if you need an orbital laser strike, or possibly a small armored transport, he could offer one, but he'd need co-ordinates or at least a recommended drop zone.

As you close the pink and red doors, you'd swear you hear another, quieter CLANG and an enraged metallic roar from the surface.

(side note: The Callidus gave you her comm-code, you didn't give her yours)

*

Good thing we closed those doors! Now I hope we can LOCK them too.
Thank the good Captain. Ask him, if he could, to try and locate that other shuttle and extract the people from it. When we need extraction ourselves, or an air strike, we would be more then happy to give him co-ordinates. If we find any way to ease the heat of the defenses we will, but no promises.
Now, to the WC, then down the blue service shaft.

Toullemonde says he'll do what he can to track down any survivers of the second shuttle crash, and looks foward to hearing from you.

Now, as it is safe, as BOONE you explore the washroom, finding it to be pretty normal fare.

As LEO you can continue to try to access COG B, please make sure you specify.

*

BOONE: What the hell is that written on the floor? And open the shower curtain.
LEO: Does anyone remember the Warden's full name? I KNOW we know it from one of the earlier threads.

Boone: it looks as though its been carved into the tile..

Leo: You were close earlier, but you can't quite remember...

*

HAHA! Try in THIS thread.
LEO: try Vilmos Hake

LEO:
You gain access!

What's that mean? Aso check shower curtain and see if the carved tile is loose and can be pried up.

OH SHIT! You're right! the digimail you got earlier! YOU have Vilmos' dataslate!

It rings bells, but you can't quite remember...'only..something?'

You check the shower. It's just a shower. The towel is just a towel.

You try to budge the tile, but you can't get your fingers underneath it. It seem spretty tight.

LEO: Look at it all.
Boone: try pulling up the carved tile (what doe sit mean anyway) and then open the curtain.

Be a little more specific, please.

I'm gonna grab a bite, I'll try and check back often.

*

Ok ok, Recent Cam Data, then look at Employee Data, then Security Archives, then Load the Disk.
You can download all this to your brain, so if worst comes there's that.

BOONE: whip out your little locket and see if that does anything. If not try and pry it up with either a coin or get C-16 in here with her lance to pry it up. And ask Leo if she knows what the words mean.

Leo: you begin streaming the data while viewing all the archived foorage.

The most recent cam shows 3 figures, one of them immense, having a discussion, you can't make out their features....

EMPLOYEE DATA OF NOTE:

Torokvei, Nel. Technician.

Competent and polite, but apparently loyalist. Moreover, despite her dowdy appearence and fat dull countenance, some of the workers are concidering her 'attractive'. This distraction will NOT do. Knock her out, blame it on a cave in, and trial the latest batch of SLOW-RELEASE formula on her. That'll teach her.

*

LEO: As the footage continues, you see the door beneath the cannister open and drop into some kind of shaft with a thud. The first figure becomes enraged and yells at the other two.

EMPLOYEE DATA OF NOTE:

Kilmer, Ibram, Security Guard

This FILTH has been discovered to be an Inquisitorial Arbite and a SPY, by the name of Dreider Grell, who has been using his internal camera and cogitator to collect and send data.

he must be working with one of the techpriests also. FInd out who and destroy them.

As for Dreider, beat him, take him to the lower levels..destroy all his data and...yes... try out the latest batch of SPEED-RELEASE on him.

He'll serve as a nice little guard dog for anyone snooping around...

*

BOONE:
The Aquilla flides into the indent and the tile lifts on small pisons, inside you find a data disk and an another coin!

DOO-DEE-DOO!

*

BOONE: That must be the hidden data that Godek was mentioned in his last words. We NEED to get a copy of that data off the surface to the fleet. We should return to Leo with what we've found.

You hand the disk to LEO.
It presents you with the following options

Lets start with the Truth file.

You hear laboured breathing as a shaking hand pushes a door open, this seems to be Dreider's POV, with a nightvision filter.

The camera pans across to a large vat full of liquid, with something contained within it, its organs floating around it, dissected.

A loud thump is heard and the footage stops.

*

Oh, shit.
That's...
That's not good.

Failure file?

An image appears on the screen as the following audio file plays: (WOOOOORDS)

This is Inquisitorial arbite Dreider Grell...I hope someone is listening.
My internal Coginator is still just barely working, I don't know how far I can send this message, but I hope it reaches you, Godek. Keep it safe.
This is... I know my times running out. They found out who I am and I know why I'm not dead. They've made me into another test subject...
[shuddering exhalation]
I had always hoped I'd meet my end more stoically than this. I never gave any thought to dying for the Emperor but...well... I don't think I'll be able to face him...not with what's happening to me.
[shuddering inhalation]
I figured they've probably destroyed all of the data I collected so I'll tell you what I know while my vocal chords still work. The owner of this facility; 'Sapp' stopped paying their Imperial tithe a little over a year ago, citing a lack of resources. This was discovered to not be the case, and Sapp has in fact been hording resources and trading with pirates and xenos in exchange for technology.

I had always hoped I'd meet my end more stoically than this. I never gave any thought to dying for the Emperor but...well... I don't think I'll be able to face him...not with what's happening to me.
[shuddering inhalation]
I figured they've probably destroyed all of the data I collected so I'll tell you what I know while my vocal chords still work. The owner of this facility; 'Sapp' stopped paying their Imperial tithe a little over a year ago, citing a lack of resources. This was discovered to not be the case, and Sapp has in fact been hording resources and trading with pirates and xenos in exchange for technology.

I dunno how Sapp has managed to turn so many against the Imperium. Certainly not with generosity. This colony's a shithole and most employees (myself included) are still waiting on their Throne Gelt, which according to Wellington we will receive 'any time now'

AAAARGHHH!! GUHHHAA..!!
[vomiting]
It...haaahh..it's p-probably partially charisma...but I recently discovered...ngh...they're doing some kind of experiment...something to make...people stronger...but also unthinking...they...I dunno how far it goes...but I know they're harvesting cells from.....uch...from...NYAAARGH..
from t-traitor Astartes!
[vomiting]
They're playing Emperor! It's like Dantis all over again!
[Labored breathing, quiet sobs]
Not like this...not like this....
[Nine gunshots]
My hands...my hands are too useless...I can't...I..c....
AAAAARGH!!
T-tell my wife I love her and p-please tell her I died a human...I...

Well, that was quite a discovery, but I seem to have lost all of you.

Good job today! I'll try to be on earlier next time.

Awwwh, I just finished reading all of this, I still wanted to see the "howiwishtoberemembered" thing...

That was the image

Are we going to have to wait months for the next part as well?

No, there's only a little bit left of this episode before a proper close off, but it still needs to be done. I'll likely do it early tomorrow (later today, 4chan time)
