Dark Heresy

[23:16] <@GoldenLlama> so in the democles gulf there is a imperial hive world, Neria. A tau research ship is shot down over it and crash lands in the city, you two are sent down to trank and deal with any survivors
[23:16] <Spiritcurse> "Do we have any intel on the area?"
[23:17] <@GoldenLlama> most of the ship burnt up on re entery, the largest part crashed into the underhive
[23:17] <Dark> "Any survivours?"
[23:18] <Dark> survivors*
[23:18] <@GoldenLlama> unkown, many tau dead, but citzens report seeing figures fleeing from the wreckage
[23:19] <Dark> "What were Tau doing in here anyway?"
[23:19] <@GoldenLlama> the part of the underhive it crashed in is under semi control of the arbitors
[23:19] <Spiritcurse> "He's got a point, this is very daring for them. Why come so far?"
[23:20] <@GoldenLlama> several tau worlds are just outside the democles gulf, they aprear to have been rturning to one of them, it is currently unknown why the where inside imperial space to begin with
[23:21] <Dark> "Someone shoot it down or did it just crash for us?"
[23:21] <Spiritcurse> "Very well. Who's going with me? I assume you're sending me."
[23:22] <@GoldenLlama> the vessel was shot down by a imperial partol. it was a reserch ship so it had only light armorments
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> "Then it's probably safe to assume it's a spy ship. We must move quickly."
[23:23] <@GoldenLlama> you two have been deployed by lander to the crashsite, a arbitor cordon has been place around what remains
[23:24] <Dark> "What exactly are you after us finding in a Xeno ship?"
[23:24] <Spiritcurse> "Do we have any scan data? Any hostiles?"
[23:26] <@GoldenLlama> 3 life signs detected within a sealed part of the wreakage, atempt to locate any information as to the mission of the ship and crew numbers ect
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "Okay. It's best we move now." I stand up, pick up my pistol from the table and ensure it's loaded.
[23:28] <Dark> I do the same with my weapon before moving to stand by the door
[23:28] <Spiritcurse> "Anyway recruit, who are you? Best we know if we're going to fight for each other."
[23:29] <Dark> "Just a guy who has lost his life before the army and now has nothing to do but fight for it
[23:29] <Dark> "
[23:30] <@GoldenLlama> pilot tell you 60seconds before landing
[23:30] <Spiritcurse> "Until you've been to Terra, you can't say anything about losing your life. But anyway, let's get ready."
[23:30] <Spiritcurse> Taking some dice out of my pocket, I begin to roll them nervously. They constantly come up 2s.
[23:31] <Dark> "Can if you fought death itself..." I say no more as I check weapon again
[23:32] <@GoldenLlama> the lander sets down and the hatch door opens, before you is a large crater with splinters of metal around a much larger chunck of
[23:32] <@GoldenLlama> *chuck of ship
[23:32] <@GoldenLlama> tau corpes lie here and there
[23:33] <Dark> I move to take cover behind a large chunk just in case, leaning over a nearby corpse and examening it
[23:33] <Spiritcurse> "Well, here we are. Let's go." Stepping out of the ship, I concentrate for a second and shimmer out of sight. However, I can still be seen though not as easily.
[23:34] <@GoldenLlama> the corpes is obviously tau, but behond that it is too badly burned to tell much else
[23:34] <Spiritcurse> I look around for some cover, and move up to a tau corpse, searching for anything that survived the crash, ideally badges or dataslates.
[23:35] <Dark> I move onto another corpse and do the same
[23:37] <@GoldenLlama> both are less damaged then then previous one, one is a fire warroir, his helmet is crushed
[23:37] <@GoldenLlama> his body is mainly intack due to his armor
[23:38] <Spiritcurse> "These xenos had guards. Look, this one is armoured and looks tougher than the others."
[23:38] <Dark> "But guarding what I wonder..."
[23:40] <@GoldenLlama> suddenly a hatch on the large chunk opens and blaster fire sprays forth
[23:40] <Spiritcurse> "I can only hope we don't have to retrieve it." I walk closer to the ship and my camoflauge flickers off, just as the rain of fire leaps forth.
[23:42] <Dark> I pull my gun out and attempt to spot the fire points
[23:43] <@GoldenLlama> 4 arbitors are hit, 3 dead, one is wounded
[23:44] <@GoldenLlama> three tau make a break for it
[23:45] <@GoldenLlama> two are armed, one is slower and thiner
[23:45] <Dark> I take aim and shoot at the slower and thiner one, attempting to only wound rather than kill
[23:49] <@GoldenLlama> the shot goes wide, hitting a inocent bystander in the leg
[23:49] <Dark> Cursing, I find the shot go wild as I am distracted by my companions scream of pain
[23:50] <@GoldenLlama> they are moving rapidly towards open sewer pipe
[23:52] <Dark> Taking better aim, i fire once more
[23:53] <Spiritcurse> Despite my cries for death, I collpase to the ground under a broken leg as the hiss of plasma evaporates my flesh.
[23:57] <@GoldenLlama> the shot clips the skinny tau but fails to ground him
[00:00] <Spiritcurse> I reach from the ground and call of the warp to guide my shot. The blast hits the weaker tau in the face, whose eyes melt from the heat. He falls to the ground, screaming as his flesh melts. However, he's still alive.
[00:01] <@GoldenLlama> the remaining arbiters fire at the retreating forms of the two standing tau, both are hit, both fall to the ground unmoving
[00:02] <Dark> Keeping my eye on the xenos, I move towards them, hugging as much cover as possible
[00:03] <Spiritcurse> I shout to a few bystanders "Don't just stand there! Two of you miserable bastards can pick me up!"
[00:04] <@GoldenLlama> they do so, you move towards the three tau
[00:04] <Dark> Standing over the unmoving Tau, i place a bullet in each of their heads just to be sure before moving towards the still living one
[00:04] <Spiritcurse> While being carried, I reload my pistol and mutter "If I never walk again I'm going to MASSACRE their whole species..."
[00:05] <Dark> "have fun with that" I grin before looking down at the living tau "tell me what you are doing here and I will make you passing much more plesent"
[00:05] <Spiritcurse> "And either way, I'll break you"
[00:05] <@GoldenLlama> one of the carriers stummbles and you fall face first into a pile of tau poop
[00:06] <@GoldenLlama> (tau hater)
[00:06] <Dark> I try and fail to stop myself laughing
[00:06] <Spiritcurse> I turn around in anger, shooting the foolish carrier square between the eyes.
[00:07] <Spiritcurse> "No, I did not appreciate that."
[00:07] <Dark> "Can we please stop killing each other long enough for me to question this miserable fragger?"
[00:07] <@GoldenLlama> anyways, the tau is screaming and writhing, blood poaring though the wounds in his face
[00:08] <Dark> "I'll ask again, what are you doing her xeno?"
[00:08] <@GoldenLlama> in the background more screaming comes from the wounded arbiter, a medi is apliing bio foam to the wounds
[00:09] <@GoldenLlama> the tau contiues to scream
[00:09] <Dark> I place my gun against the underside of his chin "I will make the pain go if you explain yourself"
[00:09] <Spiritcurse> "You're not that hurt. Answer his questions."
[00:10] <@GoldenLlama> doesn't seem to notice, continues to scream
[00:11] <Spiritcurse> "Look, can you look at me while we torture you? Oh, I'm sorry. Too soon?"
[00:11] <Dark> "You got anything to make him stop him complaining about that scratch?"
[00:12] <@GoldenLlama> the medic has finished dealing with the wounded arbiter
[00:13] <Spiritcurse> "I've got a lasgun, but I think you were looking for something less fun."
[00:13] <Dark> "indeed...ask that medic if hes got any medicine that gone...off"
[00:14] <Dark> "And I mean...fully off"
[00:14] <@GoldenLlama> the medic runs over and bows "how may I be of assistance? my lord"
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> I hobble towards the medic. "We've got an injured tau here. Got any gone off medicine? Or failing that, salt?"
[00:15] <Dark> "Give him somthing tempoery, just so he can talk and then return to whatever hell hes in now"
[00:15] <@GoldenLlama> the medic gives a lopsided grin "Aye M'lord"
[00:16] <Dark> I wait for the screaming to die down slightly before kneeling over the Tau again "Now lets try this again. Why are you here?"
[00:16] <@GoldenLlama> he pours somthing onto the wound, the tau screams louder but the bleeding stops and the c
[00:16] <@GoldenLlama> *screaming subsides
[00:17] <Dark> I kneel down before him "Now lets try this again. Why are you here?"
[00:17] <Spiritcurse> "Better. Now, answer us and you'll die quickly. Don't answer us and you'll live. And you don't want that."
[00:17] <@GoldenLlama> the tau babbles in it language
[00:17] <Spiritcurse> "I hadn't thought of that."
[00:18] <Dark> "Danm Xenos" I turn to the peopel behind me "Does anyone here speak Tau?"
[00:18] <@GoldenLlama> a faint noise comes from one of the dead fire warroirs
[00:19] <Dark> "Fragging hell...I even shot that thing in the head..." I gesture towards one of the gurads nearby "Bring him over here"
[00:19] <Spiritcurse> "Also, medic. Get me some form of not-having-my-leg-broken thing."
[00:20] <@GoldenLlama> the gaurd brings the tau over, it is quite dead, however, on its neck a small device is translating the tau babbling into low gothic
[00:20] <@GoldenLlama> the medic gives you somthing for the pain, but cannot fix the leg
[00:21] <Dark> "Interesting..." I use a knife to sever the Tau's head and hold it to the injured xeno
[00:21] <Dark> "Last time...why are you here. Fail to anserw and I'll let my freind here have his way with you"
[00:21] <Spiritcurse> "Better than nothing, thank you. No, cut the device off and staple it to what's left of the face."
[00:22] <@GoldenLlama> "...the greater good guide my steps, for where we walk there will be no darkness"
[00:22] <Dark> "Oh dont start that crap"
[00:22] <Spiritcurse> "THe only light here will be from this laspistol into what's left of your eyes."
[00:22] <Dark> "Why the frag are you here" I hold my knife its his throat
[00:23] <@GoldenLlama> the device translates the low gothic into tau
[00:24] <@GoldenLlama> the tau stops and looks (metephoricily) towards dark "they know we are here, they will come for us, you cannot stop the light"
[00:25] <Spiritcurse> "Who are they, how many are they, and why?"
[00:25] <Dark> "The light? whats that when its at home then?"
[00:26] <@GoldenLlama> the tau cackles weakly "foolish humans, why can you not ebrace the greater good"
[00:26] <Dark> "To boring for me...and I'm sure my companions agrees"
[00:26] <Spiritcurse> "Answer the questions, xenos" I spit at his feet as I say it.
[00:27] <Dark> "It would be a good idea. Why are you here?"
[00:27] <Dark> "I shall not ask again"
[00:28] <@GoldenLlama> "you will know them, they are the darkness and the swarm and the hellish tide, they will follow us onto this planet and you will all be used to feed its great hunger"
[00:29] <Dark> My eyes widen as I suddenly grab the Tau and lift into into the air "What have you lead here!?"
[00:29] <Spiritcurse> "We're getting nothing from him. He dies."
[00:29] <@GoldenLlama> "led here!" he shreiks
[00:29] <@GoldenLlama> "you led them here fools, with your corpes empeorer!"
[00:30] <Dark> "Hold it" I snarl "He is saying somthing now..." It isnt a comment but a promise as I pull my knife out and plunge it into the xeno's arm
[00:30] <Spiritcurse> "What. Are. They?" I ask, punctuating each word with a punch to the stomach.
[00:31] <@GoldenLlama> "the ravanius swarm! the great tide! Tyranids!"
[00:31] <@GoldenLlama> with that the tau dies
[00:31] <Dark> Roaring in rage, i hurl the body away
[00:31] <Dark> "Spirit. What do you feel in the warp? Anything?"
[00:32] <Spiritcurse> "Nothing new. He may have been lying."
[00:33] <Dark> "A few years ago I was part of a convoy following a Tau patrol. When we caught up with them every Tau was dead"
[00:33] <Spiritcurse> "Dead from what?"
[00:34] <Spiritcurse> "Also, we should search this wreckage. And by we, I mean you. I need to rest and heal this leg."
[00:34] <Dark> "We broke into their base and found they had captured a pack of Hormagaunts and were conducting some sort of experament on them"
[00:34] <Spiritcurse> "Xenos torturing xenos? Wonderful. The sort of fight where you don't care who wins."
[00:35] <Dark> I gesture to those gathered around "Split up into teams and seach over inch of that wreckage! I have to know if theirs anything inside!"
[00:35] <Spiritcurse> "And somebody heal my damn leg!"
[00:35] <Dark> Turing back to Spirt "If what I believe is right...then your leg will be the least of your worries..."
[00:36] <Dark> And with that I lead the group into the wreckage
[00:36] <@GoldenLlama> the search of the ship turns up a partialy damaged main ship computer
[00:36] <Spiritcurse> "Yes, but if I had my leg, I could run away!" with that, I grab a passer by and threaten then at gunpoint to carry me in.
[00:37] <Dark> I attempt to hacking into the computer
[00:38] <Dark> Sighing, I step back and gesture to Spirit to try it
[00:39] <Spiritcurse> I try for a few minutes, but fail. "Can we get a tech-priest in here?"
[00:39] <Dark> "You got any on speed dile?"
[00:40] <Spiritcurse> "Not as such. I was hoping shouting would work."
[00:40] <Dark> dial*
[00:40] <Dark> "I seen stranger things..."
[00:40] <@GoldenLlama> a tech arbiter steps forward
[00:41] <Spiritcurse> I have another go hacking the computer, to no avail. However, I can tell that I've made some difference for good or bad.
[00:41] <@GoldenLlama> but the computer explodes, the arbiter takes most of the vlast
[00:50] <Spiritcurse> I take a large portion of the blast, flying across the room and thudding into the wall. I slump to the floor, unconcious.
[00:51] <@GoldenLlama> you have learned all you can, you are taken into the lander
[00:51] <Dark> The arbatar takes most of the damage for me, leaving me unscreacthed
[00:51] <@GoldenLlama> Spirit is hooked into the med bay
[00:53] <@GoldenLlama> you are taken to the lower hive, to a inquisitor safehouse
[00:54] <@GoldenLlama> 6 hours later, spirit awakens fully healed
[00:55] <Spiritcurse> I mumble a little in my sleep, but all that can be made out is "...kin... xenos...."
[00:55] <Spiritcurse> When I awaken, I stand up, wondering what the hell just happened and how I got here.
[00:56] <Dark> I walk in "Ah good to see that your finally awake"
[00:56] <@GoldenLlama> a serf moves towards you and hands your things
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> "Excellent! And you've even managed to recharge my gun. Saves me the job of shouting at you until you do it."
[00:58] <Dark> "Just be sure to have it still fully charged by the time we get out of here. And by that I mean don tkill anyone
[00:59] <Spiritcurse> "I won't. Too full of plasma burns to do anything too violent."
[00:59] <Dark> every cloud has a silver lining"

Dark is ComingDarkness. The other two are obvious.
