Alright listen up, our inquisitorial overlords sent me a mission briefing through a form in a datapad: We are suppossed to board and divert the course of an ork spacehulk that is set to crash against the surface of a planet in the Calixis Sector... and to be in the lookout for suspicious activity, there's an inquisitor classified as rogue in this sector too apparently! ------------------------------------------------------------ 1d4Chan: 1d4chan.org/wiki/Campaign:Penal_regiment_designation_Veeky Forums Steam Group: steamcommunity.com/groups/40k_penal_regiment.
FAQ: >What the fuck is this? Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future. >When do you guys make these threads? Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day. >Can I join in? Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are. >Is there any requirement in character creation. Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun. >Is it allowed to have more than a single character? Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay. >So how you guys do the playan'? We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone. We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone. Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better. It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.
>After having read the form with the orders and the mission briefing he stays silent for a second.
Wow there's no actual directives here... just that "Board and divert the course of this Spacehulk." Order.
...
Am I the only one who gets the feeling we're always the ones sent first for the suicidal engagements? Not that I complain, just... an observation, it's like if they wanted to get rid of us.
Nolan Bell
>looks up from reading a book of course they want to get rid of us, just look at us.
Ayden Rodriguez
Well I understand why they'd want to get rid of you, you're a xeno! This is the Ordo Xenos!
Matthew Parker
The Inquisition always wants to get rid of 'the undesirables', shouldn't come as a surprise that they keep up the tradition.
Austin Wilson
keep your friends close and your enemies closer my good chap.
John Jackson
Should I take that as you identifying yourself as an enemy in public?
Kevin Scott
no, I'm simply pointing out a reason as to why I haven't been shot yet.
Lucas Walker
Alright so. Anyone has any plans on how to divert the course of a Space Hulk filled with Greenskins?
Jonathan Johnson
RAM IT! >the Ork is grinning madly.
Caleb Cox
Uhm... any ideas that don't involve us getting killed in the process?
Jayden Thompson
You could......like.......do what Bob said. We have a ship.....not sure the Captain would agree though....
Daniel Sanders
Wait, that's it. The captain, he's navy! He must have experience dealing with these things, right?
Evan Murphy
Guess so......I usually focus on Tanks. >continues to consume large amounts of Amasec and cheese.
Eli Sanders
I should really try to maintain a character to stay with the regiment in case we split up again.
Jaxson Myers
>Walks through the ship, humming to herself, her drone flying next to her.
Oh. Hi, Larrs. Did I miss anything?
Aiden Phillips
we're going to ram the space hulk apparently... >continues to flick through his book, on closer inspection it's a colouring book.
Noah Jones
That's not the plan until approved by the higher ups!
It would be a suicide and a waste of the Emperor's resources!
Hudson Wright
>swaps his book for a pop-up book and flicks through, giggling at spot the dogs adventure. Better than whatever plan you have, what will your plan be? burn it? or write an angry letter to the orks?
Connor Bennett
Really? Well... That´s the first course of action?
Sounds like the perfect job for us. That´s probably why we keep getting these assignments.
Levi Long
I was actually thinking of looking for the captain in hopes for a plan.
Thomas Long
>The Captain would be on the Bridge, should anyone go look for him.
Adrian Butler
>sighs no it isn't but it's the only plan we have come up with, you got any ideas? >puts the book down.
Levi Long
I'm pretty much going to go find the captain now...
>Leaves for the bridge
Robert James
>The Captain eventually sees Eisen, after he's screened by the Security Personnel. Yes, you have questions? Or are you just here to waste time. >The Captain looks tired, not to mention extremely stressed.
Mason Collins
Greetings, sir. I'm here to request aid in the next engagement. We've been ordered to divert the course of this space hulk without destroying it if at all possible.
>Eisen would show the captain the data gathered (and passed) on the hulk.
I'm afraid we have not been given any directives on how to do that though. And the men are just dumb enough to believe we're going to ram the ship against it.
I'm... smarter than that and thought you might have any past experience on dealing with Hulks that could not be allowed to be destroyed, sir.
Michael Lee
No, I don´t. >Stops to think for a moment. Wait, maybe we could trick them somehow into crashing onto the planet on their own without boarding the hulk.
But how?
Sebastian Cooper
Kaptin, da big gitfinda sez there be no humies on da planet we approachin´. Big ships dere, though. Think we shoulda find some other place ´ta go lootin?
>The freeboota captain turns around and growls Ya git don´t know what big ship means? Big gunz. We´ll just ram ´em an´ loot what´s left, as O.R.K. Hulky needz more dakka anywayz. Then we go see what da big ships be doing here. Ya think da humiez would protect da place if dere iz nothing to be looted?
Lucas Reed
Yes I'm aware that we were forced to divert course by the 'Inquisitive Individuals' that reside on this death trap. I happen to -command the ship-.
And nevermind that I am currently trying to do your damned job while you......oh I don't know......mope about.......whatever.
But yes, I'll throw some of the less trustworthy Armsmen at the ship. What they do to you once they get there is aaaaaaaaaaaal on you. I'll ready the Boarding Torpedoes.
Now are we done? I actually have work to do.
I am suddenly filled with a sudden sense of panic.
Cooper Hall
Uhm... yes sir, thank you sir. I'll leave you with your duties. The Emperor protects.
Josiah Perry
sounds like a cowerdly Tau tactic... I like it >winks at her. you know, we might die this evening.
Cameron Hall
That's the most stupid thing I ever heard, We are supposed NOT TO let it hit the planet, moron.
Wyatt Parker
>Over the radio.
Alright everyone! We have confirmation: We're boarding this Hulk with Boarding Torpedoes and stopping it from crashing into Mara at all costs! We should be exiting Warp Transit soon enough so get your gear ready.
Gabriel Morales
>his git finder pings. >sniffs around him. I KNOW THAT STENCH! BOYS GET YA CRAP READY, WE'RE GONNA MEET AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE!
John Ramirez
Err... thanks. >Blushes a bit.
Ah. Sorry, chief. I think of something better next time. If there is a next time...
>Nods and starts to check her equipment.
Logan Reed
More unnecessary drama. Great.
Tyler Gray
Rmph. I have enough trouble on my own without those silly ideas of yours messing up with the plans. >Her eyes flash of blue for a second And if I were you I wouldn't bring that pulse rifle today. Just saying.
Aaron Clark
Oh frak. >Looks around frantically Who's on point?
Henry Richardson
Okay. So I´ll go fetch my lasgun then? >Walks away towards her quarters as fast as possible. How do you know that anyway? A premonition?
Kevin Ward
We're going to board an ork-filled space hulk. Get your gear ready, trooper.
Ryder Cruz
I am the one who does question, girl. Speaking of which, how good are you at handling children?
Robert Gonzalez
>Meanwhile, in a different part of the Galaxy, Alice is standing on the Bridge of a Warship in Orbit, discussing operations with the Captain.
Callidon, LIX and Sternbridge are welcome to also be there if needed.
Nathan Sanchez
>Checks equipment Right, got my Shotgun and Hotshot Lasgun right here.
Isaac Roberts
>Is there in case she's needed.
Dominic Roberts
>looks at the newbie you do have snacks don't you? everybody knows to pack snacks.
Nicholas Jenkins
A couple of C-rations... Enough for 2 days combat. QM wouldn't give anymore than that.
Gavin Bennett
What is our next operation, Inquisitor?
Samuel Gutierrez
Fifteen boyz on a dead ork'z loot— WAAAGH!!! an´ a bottle o´ squig beer! Drink and Mork (or was it Gork?) had dun for da rest WAAAGH!!! an´ a bottle o´ squig beer!
But one ork o´ hiz boyz alive, Wut put to space was seventy-five.
See, ladz? freebootin´z always betta with a proppa song. Won´t be that long ´till we get to smash things if ya sing. See? Da big gitfinda sez dere iz a ship just a bit to da starboard.
>Um, boss. There ain´t no direction in space.
What? No directhunz? I´z da kaptin, an´ I sez dere be a ship to da starboard, so there be a ship to da starboard. Get it?
>But Kaptin, space- >Krump
Adam Brooks
Don't forget your armor, trooper, make sure it's in good condition.
Who am I kidding...
Make sure it allows you to have enough mobility on the field, it won't stop Ork bullets, so might as well make sure it isn't blocking your arms movement.
Connor Brooks
Depends on if they´re from a sept or not. I handle the sept ones sligthly less inept. >Almost adds an why to her answer before stoping herself. Allthough tau children never liked me that much, except that one earth sept nutcase...
Oliver Mitchell
Forgot to add name.
Brayden Smith
>Stands near the door
Sebastian Brown
>slaps the back of her head I didn't ask for the story of your life. I need to know if you can look after baby amelia here, since I wouldn't leave her with Mot and his attack dog again unless I was ordered by Verasii herself.
Evan Mitchell
>Checks armor Seals check. Mask check. Carapace check. Backpack check >Nods towards Corporal Ready to rock and roll, Corporal.
Nathaniel Cook
Oh. I can do that, yes. >Nods and looks a bit worried. Am I to stay with her on the ship?
>I AM HERE >where are you fuckers right now, cause Hank is in a cryopod waiting to be opened
Grayson Taylor
Good to hear, trooper, you might just survive one more day out there, you're free to do whathever until we exit warp space, just be close to your post for when that happens.
Ugh... still not acknowledging protocol over music and-? >He shuts up as the music goes on. ... >Sighs.
That actually does sound nice, I'll give you that.
Liam Morgan
What, during the fight? No, since I will have to remain on board. APPARENTLY, officials that can see into the future are not supposed to lead boarding actions because they are more useful directing actions. Bullshit. But when you are back you will definitely.
David Gray
Mid warp travel, towards an ork space hulk, with a mission to divert its course so it doesn't crash into the planet Mara, Calixis Sector.
Jayden Johnson
Just a few extra days of business on Praetoria then we'll be off to the Calixis Sector, to deal with our 'colleague'.
Oh and Adept Novus, my father agreed with my assessment, we'll be bringing extra troops to Tranch with us.
>At one of the sensor stations, a Technician quietly reports a minor disturbance in the Warp.
Which reads: Deal with the upcoming 'disturbance' -no combat this time- then 'jump forward' to leaving for Calixis Day
Henry Moore
>drops out off the vent with a big panel reading "Sorry" on it dangling from her neck
Isaac Parker
>Turns shotgun towards noise Throne-dammit, Miranda. I almost shot you.
Carson Carter
Excellent. That makes obliterating the opposition that much easier.
Jack Rivera
>ok well >fuck logic >SUDDENLY A CRYOPOD IS BY YOU >HOW? THE GALAXY MAY NEVER KNOW
This is not in any inventory form, does the Quartermaster know this thing is here? Also what's doing here and not in cargo?
Jayden Price
>waves the "sorry" panel toward him How w-was I supposed to know!?
John Morris
it's pretty heavily implied that you don't eat people! >he sighs and continues to play.
Jack Taylor
>Wipes panel Says here DO NOT OPEN UNLESS IN COMBAT. DO NOT OPEN THEN EITHER.
Ayden Jackson
>in the window panel, you can see- >hank's face. >why is he in there.
Eli Cox
Why do you even think I am here then...? I think we talked about m-my, ehm, eating habits. I w-was just trying to give you a gift...
Ethan Allen
>Cough Deathworlders do that. >Cough.
>Inspects the contents of the Cryopod.
Uh...
That's not right... Since when is Hank an Eversor?
Nathan Fisher
>Nods and walks towards her quarters. I´m going to prepare myself then, chief. >As she walks away, Sam starts to mutter something about downloading an imperial child raising guide and a sept version.
Grayson Nelson
>uh oh >it starts tipping over!
Nicholas Flores
>someone is tugging at your sleeve
Tyler Allen
>Still inspecting the pod, Eisen turns his head and points at Sam.
Trooper! If I ever learn that the kid starts speaking Tau or whathever language it is the blueberries have I'm making you clean the latrines from decks 10 to 17, that includes the one the Ogryns... and Bob... use.
Oliver Morgan
Frak,,,frakfrakfrak >Holds up tank Miranda! Mot! Lend a hand?
Ethan Reed
>Tries to hold it. Someone come lend me a hand -and an explanation- on this!
Eli Allen
Heavy Infantry, Artillery, Royal Engineers, some tanks and APCs, we'll have the works.
>The same Technician from before steps over to address both Alice and the Captain in hushed tones.
Well people......uh.....we might have to go exploring. Something just 'poofed' out of the Warp. No lifesigns and there's nothing with any 'bad voodoo' on board either, since the Astropath and Navigator haven't tried to devour the Crew while their skin explodes into Servoskulls. Uh......lets head to the Hanger and get kitted out?
Jordan Thomas
>sighs loudly I know that but... oh forget it. I know that now!
Grayson Jenkins
Rolled 1 (1d20)
>rolling for how heavy it is, 1d20
Liam Butler
Agreed. I´m interested myself in seeing what this... Anomaly is.
Joshua Rivera
>wow >it is not heavy at all >it feels ridiculously light >what the fuck
Christopher Bailey
Right Behind you, Ma'am
Xavier Thomas
... Am I forgiven? Because I went through all the "standard" punishment from Lady Anna already and t-that was quite hard... J-just blow it up.
Jace Campbell
>Puts it back into place Uh, Corporal. We really, really get them cogboys to look at it.
Cameron Hall
I forgive you... I just, I just need some time.
Thomas Anderson
Oh well that wasn't that bad... Trooper Boer, any idea why this man is in here... or if he is alive, even?
Angel Bennett
Dunno, Corporal. Best guess, something to throw at them Greenskins. Or our pointman.
Benjamin Young
Uh well that would be nice but you see...
We ran into some Warpsmith son of a Grox.
We have no cogboys... yet.
Christian Powell
How much time? How much? >she has a very sorry stare, mind you >you feel like you are kicking a puppy >a man eating puppy but nonetheless.
Liam Reed
Hey, Sam! Who's the kid?
Josiah Bell
after this mission, I'll think long and hard over the duration of this mission... >he's looking past her at the wall as he talks.
Joseph Foster
>a knife magically appears just before his eyes
Ian Gray
>It begins defrosting hank >and he starts coughing hard
Alexander Campbell
>he sighs can we not resort to this?
Evan Turner
>Points Shotgun at Hank's head If he starts REEEing, I'm turning his head into grokbait.
Wyatt Phillips
>Stops before noticing Amelia. Hello, Amelia. Is... everything allrigth? Ah, how about I show you my room first? Since I´m going to be the one taking care of you soon. >Sam is not really sure how to handle the situation.
So ork and eldar are fine? Not that I can speak them, but still... Wait, how many duties do I have to clean up now? Gary´s socks still need to be washed...
A girl someone picked up on the last planet. Her name is Amelia. >Sam proceeds to stand still in the hallway and looks at the girl holding her sleeve. Nah, there is probably no connection...
Jordan Cooper
>Nudges his arm and whispers through the gasmask.
You don't want to get involved with that child, boy, if she's who the rest of us believe she is, she's dangerous.
Anyhow. This Cryopod is a big leak in protocol. Someone should have been notified of this Cryopod being here! And someone should have left it here in the first place.
Look at the Cryopod's console, see what you can find of the poor bastard, I doubt he's storaged there in purpo-
Throne damn...
Forget the last order, just be ready to shoot if shit goes south.
