[Bredtonia]

Eldar Monoblade: Sure
Eldar Chainsword: Sure
Eldar Powersword: Sure, but it's an Exotic Weapon
Eldar Witchblade: No, but useless anyway to a non-psycher
Strange ancient xeno (Necron) Blade: Sure
C'tan Phase Sword: No.

I think I will take the Necron blade.

As a member of the senior command staff, you may assume you have a nicely appointed private apartment with four to six reasonably sized rooms (not including WC). So yes, a study and/or small private library would be perfectly acceptable and quite logical.

Edit: Also not including servant's quarters, kitchens or the like. The Navigator and Lord Captain would likely have something closer to a 8 to 10 room mini-mansion.

Expecting Lothwyn's quarters wouldn't be as big?

[Aelosia]

I'll post later today

[Raktio]

I'll post later today

I'm hoping to do the same, otherwise I might not have time until school's out.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

ah, just read in battlefleet koronus that we should have about.. 12 small craft on board? I think. one for every 5 hull points, and 4 for the cargo bay if I understand it correctly.

[Morrdh]

OK, post up.

[Lunas Legion]

I'll get a post up tomorrow, along with a relations thingy.

[Hetland 2]

Look at that Magos, with her voice so full of character.

Also, Bred, I wanted to ask you, Can Hypos and Goliath be Myrmidon Secutors?

[Aelosia]

On Lucretia's own view:

Rogue Trader Viktor Vladimirovich Rasputin:

"For me, he's my employer, and by extension the boss. Someone to be fully loyal to, as long as he respects his end of the contract. I know I am an unique advisor to him, and plan to behave accordingly. After all, I still plan to get rewarded. I don't find myself particularly attached to him, however. He can count with my loyalty and my talent, unbounded. That should be enough".


High Factorum Bantosquar Keelers;

"A seemingly pleasurable companion, given his apparent refined tastes and interesting conversation. A useful contact to have as well. I wish he is what he promises to be"

Master of lighters Lothwyn Shaw;

"I have a soft heart for both skilled pilots and sophisticated xenos. It seems Lothwyn will become a personal protegé if nothing gets in the way. A close friendship might bloom given the right circumstances. I still need to know her better"

Vladko Morozov:

"Who? Oh, the hired muscle"

Chief Bosun Cassius Valer;

"He's an honorable show of what a man of the Imperial battlefleet should represent. For good or for evil. He carries a curse with him, so I should be wary of his shadow"

Master at Arms Bob Joe;

"Who? Oh, wasn't him the hired muscle?"

Arch-Confessor Felix Voss Paulus;

"Is he a truly pure man of the Imperial creed or something else? Either one, I don't want to stay close to zealots. There is something eerie about him".

Magos Explorator Annarette Ghodwinne;

"If only this kind of majestic minds could place idolatry aside and unveil the secrets of the universe...I hope she sides more with the radicals of her order. Otherwise...As I said before, I don't want to stay close to zealots"

Choir-Master Astropathica Melor Rasvüt;

"A brother in the sight, perhaps misguided. An interesting conversation and debate partner. A danger as well. Unleashed minds can bite too deep, or too much"

[Carcharhinidae primari]

aelosia, what of melor?

[Raktio]

Also wasn't sure how to make a check IC but I essentially made a logic check with Bantosquar to figure out what known (mostly rogue traders) posible threats there were on the trip, he did this during his half hour of thinking in his meditation (scheming & plotting) room, he didn't spend his whole time on it but at least a good portion.

[Hetland 2]

Seriously, why hasn't the Valhallan chosen his job?

Also, Aelosia, Lucretia would know at this point Annerette is pretty radical for a Magos, if not Magos Explorator,.

[Legital]

I think I might try and get a little thing up displaying Felix's views on the rest of the command staff as well.

What are his views on Viktor ?

[Bredtonia]

ah, just read in battlefleet koronus that we should have about.. 12 small craft on board? I think. one for every 5 hull points, and 4 for the cargo bay if I understand it correctly.

More or less. The ones from the Hull Points would be the Aquilia landers Aelosia bought. Because of the heavier needs of the cargo bay, I run it as 2 cargo cutters instead (a much larger flying brick used to move cargo.)

Look at that Magos, with her voice so full of character.

Also, Bred, I wanted to ask you, Can Hypos and Goliath be Myrmidon Secutors?

I don't see why not, as long as you remember they're not going to be particularly well equipped and are still 'minion' levels, as it were. There's nothing giving them that background that creates a problem however.

Also wasn't sure how to make a check IC but I essentially made a logic check with Bantosquar to figure out what known (mostly rogue traders) posible threats there were on the trip, he did this during his half hour of thinking in his meditation (scheming & plotting) room, he didn't spend his whole time on it but at least a good portion.

Actually, asking here is perfect.
Logic isn't quite the right skill for that, however. Knowledge Koronus Expanse or Knowledge (Rogue Traders) or similar would be better. Your trained in neither, but you managed to pass your Knowledge Koronus Expanse anyway, which would tell you that the situation of this vessel's discovery (that is was located by a Navy Patrol) makes it more awkward for any Rogue Trader to try and salvage it without a claim. As such your not likely to run into anyone from a large and reputable house. This doesn't preclude a more disreputable, desperate Rogue Trader from doing something. It would also do little to detour outright pirates. The last danger, of course, is what caused the Emperor's Bounty to be lost in the first place.

[Legital]

Arch-Confessor Felix Voss Paulus' view on the command staff in his own words:

Rogue Trader Viktor Vladimirovich Rasputin: "There is no dispute that the Rogue Trader and Captain's word is absolute law aboard his vessel. I will do as he commands, naturally, if it does not go against the very being of the Imperial Creed. Thankfully for him, I'm a bit more...flexible...in the way I see to it."

Navigator Lucretia D'Lorraine: "Despite what little information I could truly find, a background with the Inquisition (rather, on the receiving end of an apparent investigation) is enough to warrant some interest. What, exactly, did the Inquisition have to do with a Navigator? I do hope it has nothing to do with what I fear, but it is doubtful even for the most influential of Navigator Houses to escape the eye of the Ordos. Either way, I doubt I shall have much dealings with a rather arrogant navigator."

High Factorum Bantosquar Keelers: "A fellow survivor of a Geller Field malfunction. Usually such events draw survivors close, but I feel no connection with this man. I can sense his duplicity and his ambitious personality, but I know not what he seeks, or if it pertains to the ship or anything important at all. Some have relatively small desires, but it is rare. I will keep an eye on this man, but I may not be able to hide my displeasure."

Choir-Master Astropathica Melor Rasvüt: "Most psykers warrant my eye, but this man seems well enough. Though, perhaps I shall pay more attention to him because of such? The unassuming often have something to hide."

Master of Lighters Lothwyn Shaw: "Either a Xenos, a mutant, or a sub-race of humanity. I shall never ask as that would be a breach of proper etiquette and be entirely rude, but I still wonder. Not that it truly matters. I have no qualms with Xenos that work with humanity, be them Eldar, Tau, or other. Orks are a bit too crude for my liking, but one must respect their strength and determination. Mutants that are too far from the light of the Imperium are not amongst my favored, but Lothwyn is fine, that is of course if she is a mutant human after all."

Vladko Morozov: "An ex-Imperial Guardsman. I have nothing but respect for anyone who submits themselves to the horror of war. I once almost followed such a path myself as a chaplain, but my better judgement got ahold of me. However, Mister Morozov appears to be nothing more but muscle. Nothing is wrong with that, of course."

Chief Bosun Cassius Valer: "A hardy shipman, though with a troubled past, or so I believe. Information on this man is also rather difficult to come by, but Imperial Naval records state that this man's ship suffered from a mutiny before disappearing. Whether this man had anything to do with it is unseen, but a possible mutineer in the midst of the command staff is troublesome."

Master at Arms Bob Joe: "Another despicable individual. A Guardsman from a noble house who happened to buy his way into command. What filth."

Magos Explorator Annarette Ghodwinne: "I know little about the dealings of Mechanicus personnel, but I have a good feeling about Magos Ghodwinne. She appears to be quite motivated, but I expected nothing less for one of her station. However, she is curiously unmodified, or so it physically appears."

[Raktio]

someone going to post?

[Slorch]

Oh look most people on the ship don't like the other people on the ship.

[Bredtonia]

You don't have to like each other, you just have to work together
I mean really, some cold animosity is interesting, as long as it doesn't derail the game.

[Prusslandia]

Bred, most if not all of the main crew is from Krieg, correct ? And can my crusaders be from Krieg ?

[Hetland 2]

Annerette is quite fond of all of the crew, save the Vallhallan.

Also, Bred, how do you want me to do a Frobidden Lore(Pirates) check? I'd like to see if I can compile a list of possible pirate crews and the tactics that they might employ on us.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

I don't think I dislike anyone much. the missionary 'might' rub melor the wrong way, but he doesn't know him well enough for that. as for people disliking him, they're perfectly free to be uneasy around the sanctioned psyker on board.

What does Melor think of Viktor ?
