Not long after, however, a steward arrives with the Astartes amasec bottle - its not full, but there has to be a good liter left. "The compliments of the Captain Sir." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2186 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 20:19:21 +0000 Haxtes on the bride hoping he will get a drink c2184@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ "Your efforts on behalf of my priest and my self warms my soul captain." Haxtes takes his leave and returns to his rooms with Venus and her guards. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2184 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:14:02 +0000 tancred c2183@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ "Thank you for your kind words. I'll have my First Officer go through the records and see what he can find. I would not get my hopes up though, there are very few operating pict-corders down below. And none of the men I sent down there seem to have made it back up alive. Alas." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2183 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:03:10 +0000 Haxtes on the bride hoping he will get a drink c2182@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Haxtes all beaming smiles "My dear captain, it was the least I could do for you. After all, sending my lazy and overpaid tugs to kill other thugs is no hardship for me, no hardship at all, I asure you. Well as for my dear priest I understand that he was found in poor shape down below. Poor shape, but stable. If it's not too mutch trouble my dear friend I'd like acces to the security tapes and/or persons that had eyes on the events, so that I can give my warm regards and heartfelt thanks to the kind persons that saved him from that mob." "If it's not too mutch trouble that is." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2182 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 18:33:43 +0000 tancred c2181@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Somewhat later. The ship is now under partial control and the storm as abated enough for the Captain to try to regain your bearing and resume the trip to the House. Parsifal is secured in your quarters and security measures are in place (read Maxi and his merry guards). Jeb is prowling about looking for interesting stuff - in particular any surviving members of the Abbott's cadre. Azhmut has fixed one of the engines, but is having no luck with the others - one is broken beyond his ability to repair and the other would require a trip on the outside, which isn't advisable under current conditions. Venus and Haxtes as on the bridge with the Captain. Venus has informed Haxtes that the source of the heretek communication protocols are Lady Octavia and her Adept. Captain Shadrack: "My thanks Rogue Trader Jax Guilliman, for your timely and selfless aid." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2181 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:46:38 +0000 tancred c2179@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ So now we have Haxtes going back topside. It will take a little time to clean up (envision Bond in Casino Royale - one moment all banged up, next scene spick and span). Venus at the drone is escorted down by two nameless (poor sods) guards to retrieve the comatose but stable Parsifal. It should no longer be a very dangerous trip - the maddened passengers are now just dazed and confused (except those that are already dead, they remain just dead). Azhmut leaves with another pair of guards and a couple of crew to attend one of the offended engines. Jeb picks through the corpses and makes snide remarks - while remaining extra alert. Maxi gives everyone the star and generally tries to secure your current position by parsing out your assets. Octavia excuses herself and - like Haxtes - returns to her rooms. She takes her servants with her. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2179 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:32:05 +0000 agenthaxtes c2178@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Haxtes sneaks back into his rooms and do the three S`s and gets back into his R-T persona. After that he walks to the bride to have a word with his friend the good captain. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2178 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:56:41 +0000 tancred c2177@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Azhmut: "I must inspect the offended engines locally - there is no systems integration. Each machine spirit labors alone, bereft of companionship and support. That is the main failing of this vessel." Venus: "Yes, I can hear their voices. Crying out for help." Azhmut: "You receptors would be truly a marvel to study - I cannot hear them from here." Venus: "Starboard four is the least damaged I think. Starboard two is a loss. The port one has suffered structural damage to its casing, but may be repaired by an external work party. I must leave now. The Rogue Trader awaits my coming." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/11/17/house-of-dust-and-ash-the-cygnan-martyr#c2177
