Field Kit Inspection: Meteorite Landings Edition

Hrrrm...I need something to bet on.
HEY! ANYONE FEEL LIKE DOING A STUPID CHALLENGE TO GET MONEY FROM!?

>Rias waves lightly from atop the bunker, the sunset behind her making her red hair look almost golden

*i just bet 30 thrones rawr*
*so what's the challenge rawr*

Your flesh, maybe. Xeno.. thing? Mine needs far more augmentation. And a recaf.

Please tell me someone has recaf.

An illusion by the Ruinous Powers, no doubt. I mean if it wasn't we'd be dead. Unless I'm already dead from the first explosion and this is the Warp.
Actually that might explain the insanity. And the xenos. And the.. I guess those were daemons.

*I HAVE IT RAWR*
*30 THRONES SAYS RAIS AND I CAN COMPLETE A THREE LEGGED ONE HUNDRED METRE RACE IN ONE MINUTE 30 SECONDS RAWR*

>Matthias would smile brightly, at the sight of Ria's ontop of the bunker. His body full of relief at seeing her.
>He'd make his way towards her, as fast as his freshly healed wounds would allow him.

Naw this isnt the warp
the warp is waaaaay worse than this
i guess it was probably alpharius trying to scare us as part of some long intricate and nonsensical scheme

fuck mobile...

EXCELLENT. EVERYONE PLACE YOUR BETS
WILL THEY MAKE IT OR NOT?
PLACE YOUR BETS NOOW!
*10 percent of the earnings go to the house, ie me*

>Nathaniel, would make his way up the knight, and towards Luciena, as sneakily as possible for a scout.
>Once he was right beside her. He would place a hand atop her head.

SCREEEECH
>Raises "hand"

That is still pretty awful but right now so long as I don't have to do any more walking I will take it.
... a question, esteemed Magos? What have I gotten myself into? I'm no skitarii, I have yet to even be assigned a specialisation let alone combat experience beyond simulations and now I'm travelling with some.. regiment with a large screeching xeno in authority. But the regiment is also a loyal Imperial one?

twenty thrones says no

I think the commissar i short sighted as he can't really tell xenos from abhuman from traitors
but the regiment is loyal
and tends to be extremely effective

*i am loyal*
*dont look at the sky*

>A bionic hand would roughly grab the Magos' shoulder.

...What's this about me being 'near sighted'... Hmm?

>He doesn't sound very happy...

SCREEECH

>she pushes his hand away, and puts a finger to her lips
She's tired. She worked so hard on Godfrey over there. She's so good. Let her nap a little longer.

i have a buritau if you want

Well you didn't see horus a minute ago and he was rather large and not dead and terrifying

.... I'll thank you for taking care of my charge for me.... But I must speak with her. Alone...

Amazing. I think I can actually feel parts of my brain fuse with that knowledge.
Still, better news than I had hoped.
Well, if that's the case then- Well I had best get back to my duties! Much to do! Inspect wargear!
>Rho hurriedly limps off away, he's not authorised of deal with the potential shit that may go down

>cyber optic automatically designates run-time to scan sky

*i begin tying your leg to one of mine with absolutely no warning while dragging you over to a hastily constructed starting line*

Uh-huh....

>His hand would tighten further around his shoulder.

What else have I not seen... Magos...?

SCREEEECH
>Pawn shows Commissar the postcards from the beach "mission"

Sleep is important for such a young one. But I'll give her to you for a bit if you tell me where a certain wounded Lt. is.

*if by any chance you see what appears to be a heavily damaged red bioship, ignore it rawr*

My thanks for the offer, but sustenance is actually something I have already
>Indicating a small blocky protrusion on his hip, Rho continues
Nutrient auto-dispenser permits me to work through conventional eating periods. My first major implant actually! Although I will need to refill it in a couple of days.

..What is inside those 'buritaus' anyway? It smells odd.

[distressed techpriest binary noises]

*pulls harder*
*c'mon rawr* *we have to get to the starting line rawr*
*any final bets anyone?*

>her powerfist erupts to life
Let go... or I'll make you let go...

basic nutriments and delicious sauce

SCREEEECH
>Points at the buritau
>Points at it's "mouth"
SCREECH

*no, I have thrones riding on this and I can complete the race better if you are dead or unconscious rawr* *the only way this ends well for you is if you help me beat that jackass alpharius rawr* *finishes tying legs together*

yes you can have on if you want !

SCREEECH
>Extends "hand"

Rolled 91 (1d100)

It has a sauce? That's fancy stuff! I usually just have nutriments.
... I'll pass though. I think the big guy for your wants it more.

I'm right here, Rias...
>He'd flash her a warm smile, as he makes his way towards her.

You miss me?

Ignore roll

*want to bet on the three legged race rawr?

here buddy, don't eat too fast
>toss the buritau at athe spawn
you can have one if you want , the sauce is here to prevent the nutriments from drying

Execute this fucker... please...
I get 60%

there was a daemon and a imperial knight and a scout marineEXECUTE HIM YOURSELF

Rolled 47 (1d100)

*fine I don't care I can't afford to lose this I don't even have 30 thrones rawr*
*race result is one d100 for each of us, divided by 2.* *50+ is success*

For a kiss I will.

Rolled 68 (1d100)

The Knight is there and was claimed by the Magos here.

ahah looks like your luck his runnning out

Rolled 58 (1d100)

I shall not deny it is tempting, even though I aspire to the purity of the machine, but it makes more sense to provide it to those without nutrient supplies of their own.
Purity be damned right now for a recaf. I don't have an auto-stim implant.

>settling down with the broken scrap from last time, Rho starts dismantling and going over his available tech
>and also muttering to himself
grav unit mostly fine.. stabilisation ring needs fixing.. where is th- there it is.. cogitator is Mars pattern? Surprising.. if I had an actual auto-lathe this would be much easier.. put the thingy in the whatchamacallit.. did a monkey put this grav ring together.. monkey would be better..

>eventually it becomes clear what the priest is doing when he fetches the last piece he took from the rubble, a human skull
>cobbled together servo skull time!
Dice rolling don't ignore for quality of construction

I AM THE MAGOS
WHAT OTHER MAGOS
POINT ME AT THIS MAGOS

>Points at the sleeping Luciena who the knight and dozen+ servitors are guarding

*is asleep on the foot of the Knight in a ball of red robes*

do you want to build a drone ?
i have a drone too !

>call his gun drone
> the drone is hovering softly behind me, scanning the horizon

Man I didnt get a knight when I became a magos
then again my forge world runs on a low level of anarchy

*we storm over the finish line in the nick of time, you somehow doing most of the work though I am a giant "guardsman"*
*FUCK YES RAWR*
*SUCK IT ALPHARIUS RAWR*

Wish I'd included the servo skull construction in last post but I hadn't finished typing it up then. Oh well.
>skull sparking and hovering in place, the young priest manages to get the thing hovering for a few seconds before the blue light blinking it's eye sockets dies and the cobbled together contraption falls to the soft earth
Honestly I shouldn't have expected any better. But I had hoped to salvage at least something from my home.

Hmm? Oh, well in a sense yes. They can be useful, though usually made of better materials than battlefield scrap and of sanctified remains. I.. had hoped I could make something serviceable at least.
>a little sadder, he clips the nonfunctional skull to his belt
>maybe he can fix it up another time
Yours looks.. peculiar however. What is the primary purpose of it? It looks to be a mobile auspex scanner, perhaps?

And what, no "Hello! I'm so happy to see you're alive!".

Not even a hug?

1... I'm tied to an oversized "guardsmen"
2. No

She's the one who repaired it so...

I earn 15 thrones.
The house earns 5 thrones
Rais inexplicably earns 30 thrones

it is a gun drone
in my freshly aquired stealthsuit i indicate the target and he calculate the best shooting angle
it has 2mini pulse rifle

he will guard this camp for tonight

*tell it to ignore any heavily damaged red bioships that may or may not be heading towards the planet rawr*

...What did you get then? I got my optics when I became a priest.

Impressive. More so than mine, at least.
I had hoped to at least arm it with my old laspistol, but I need more parts before it can function.

your hive fleet is dead and you might be soon if you don't shut up
if we make it out of this hell i can present you the enclave, we need a lot of people like you

I got a map of the forge world with the parts tainted with daemons and thus off limits marked
you don't get that until you hit magos because they want only the lucky and cautious to survive and hit magos

*lemme tell you something blue boy rawr*
*leviathan has no red bioships rawr*

>Rias walks around the Tau, looking him up and down
hmmm.... What world do you come from?

but hive fleet behemoth was destroyed years ago
hes from the enclaves

Rolled 94 (1d100)

*terra rawr*
*roll for persuasion*

I appreciate the offer, by I am a Mechanicus man from bone and wire to skin and plating.
Speaking of, should you really be trying to recruit me next to a Magos?

...I hesitate to say it, but I'm not sure your planet was the best planet. Honourable Magos.

Rolled 59 (1d100)

*fear the kraken for thou hast splintered*
*intimidate*

Eh you don't spend time in the big I without coming out pretty radical I see nothing
and yeah Cyclothrathe could probably rival
mars if we every actually got our act together as it the only rules is dont get caught not a great atmosphere for getting work done
leaving was the best decision i ever made

AHHHHH
naw Krakens more yellow
i guess it could be a new one
What should we name it
im thinking hive fleet calamari

>He'd let out a sigh.

How are people supposed to know, we're a couple, if you refuse to let us be seen as one?

Rolled 35 (1d100)

*calimari rawr?*
*like you in exactly 2 days rawr?*
*general bullying*

>The young Scout would cross his arms, and sigh. Before gently shaking her awake.

For all the trouble you cause. You sure know how to sleep...

*i thought she and the commissar had a thing going but I guess I can't tell you meatbags apart rawr*

Hive fleet ouroboros?

But how can you be Alpharius, if I'm Alpharius?

*hive fleet Tartarus, I christen thou*

That doesn't match the naming scheme at all! it has nothing to do with tentacles, cephalopod or snakes!
And now there is a primarch in this regmient Ok,not even phased anymore

>she raises her melts pistol and pulls the trigger
What? Why won't you fire... you're supposed to want blood. Piece of shit relic...

That sounds.. terrifying. This planet is just a simple research planet, though a a minor Mechanicus citizen settlement was established to grow in future years. My home city, i believe we are approaching it now, though I do not wish to see what had be one of it.

A hive fleet that keeps attacking and eating itself in wargames to optimise it's tactics and battle forms?

>Matthias would blink several times at this.

P-please tell me you were joking right now... Please?

its tzeentchian not khornite
yeah as much of a pain the martian orthodoxy is not having it can lead to full on anarchy

*but Tartarus is where I'll throw you if you don't shut the up and keep your eyes down robo-douche rawr*

>Nudge, nudge
SCREEEECH
>Points at a pillar of smoke in a distance

Wha... it's too early for insults...

that's mur's pistol it wants knowledge not blood also please don't kill the Lt. I know you legally can but please don't
as long as we can call it ouroboros ill shut up for now

*what is is boy rawr?*
*did little Timmy get stuck in the fire rawr?*

It wasn't an insult, Priestess. Merely a truthful observation.

>He'd then pat her head a few times.

At least you made it here safe. And somehow reunited two lovers along the way.

>Shugs
SCREEEECH
>Goes towards the pillar

*oh no rawr*
*i can't believe that she got cancer from that rawr*
