In the Darkness of the Void: A online rogue trader game

By Timeless12, in Rogue Trader

Hi guys I am just posting what I sent to Crisaron, I have not written a backstory for him but this is the projected plan for the character The idea is of an extremely well connected individual with a shady past that can acquire anything from anyone.

Relative Character advancement:
Rank 1: Drusian Adherent (Into the Storm)
Rank 2: Drusian Charlatan (Hostile Acquisitions)
Rank 3: Acquisitionist (Into the Storm)
Rank 4: Xenographer (Into the Storm)
Rank 5: Cold Trade Broker (Hostile Acquisitions)
Rank 6: House Operative (Hostile Acquisitions)
Rank 7: Manhunter (Hostile Acquisitions)
Rank 8: Legend of the Expanse (Into the Storm)

Home World: Penal World
Birthright: Scapegrace
Lure of the Void: Hunter (Hunted) [100]
Trials and Travails: A Product of Upbringing (Rivals) [100]
Motivation: Prestige
Linage: Of Extensive Means (Far-Reaching Connections) [300]

I am interested if I am not too late to the party, what slots are still open? I think i'm most interested in Explorator, Void Master, or Missionary although I could play something else if there's need.

I like what I see up to now!

As a heads up, generaly remember only one or two things:

1 - You must be loyal to the Empire

2 - You must be loyal to House Horalis

3 - You must always upold the honor and the name of House Horalis.

Any straying from this path is a sommary execution by no one else then me. I shall cleansen personnaly any affront done to my house in the ship...

Mmmmm so what yoru saying is you don't want any Explorators, Missionary, or Navigators. Three classes of PC who won't strictly be loyal to yoru house but on your peer level. Kind limits the play options a smidge.

I'm pretty sure that's not what Crisaron is saying. My Explorator Vaatzes is certainly a member of the mechanicus yet his loyalty is primarily to House Horalius for giving him a chance to work on such a wonderous vessel. Loyalty needn't be absolute in order to be sincere. I'm fairly sure that Crisaron just means that their shouldn't be pre-planned inter-party plots and backstabbing, a sentiment to which I wholeheartedly agree.

Greetings everyone,

All characters for this week's game will need to be given to and approved by crisaron by the end of Tuesday. Compete backstory is not need for now, but atleast a overview of who you are, and your personality would be good. In addition, I will be posting some additional information about the upcoming game session later today.

Current list of Approved Players for Thursday;

Uncle Screwtape, Explorator

Kywendle, Arch Militant

Getit199

Maybe i'm being obtuse but wheres crisaron email and such? I'll have to think on a concept though as the borderline heretek explorator concept I wanted to go with wouldn't be the one to offer his loyalty lightly, and I'm not real comfortable with being threatened with death before the game's even going to start. Best of luck though.

I just don't want conflict, RP little conflits all right! But I would love to have a familly relationship, I mean we don't always agree but it would never come to arms.

Thats is something I would like. Now it's you char... I can't force you but at least for a while stay clean. There is a Space Marine Librarian on board and I did make my char and the house as having a bad rep and me wanting to clean the image and bring the house back to the top.

Stay clear of IA, deamon stuff, corrupted magos stuff, please... Xenos well we can dable a bit by the warrant's nature and that we are far out. Anyway we will all be curious, just try to stay away from the big bad things that will make US ALL go like: "Well, we kill him or not?"

p.s. I already play for too many of those games.

Thank you for the good luck wishes! The team is going to be way more syncrhonised this time around anyway. If not then i'll do my job as a RT.

Cheers bang

Hey guys!

-------------- Command Bridge of The Light of Ambition ----------------

5-934-826.M41

"All crew and passengers, Brace for Warp transit and secure all heavy cargo" came the drone voice of the Explorator Magos Vaatze, as he monitored the various dials, screen or monitoring servitors around the him. Is voice was broadcasted through all the ship which was already bustling with activity. Alto the ship did not expect to exit close the the target planet, the crew and passengers knew that the window of deployment would be very tight, preparations where underway. No one wanted to be the one found wanting or even worst incompetent after years of dock stay. "Transit in T minus 5 minute, ... transit in 30 seconds"

"5, 4, 3, 2, Transit .... "

"All command staff on bridge, we have made transition" blared the voice of the Rogue Trader Maximus Horalis. All around the ship, most crew could not but hide a little smile, in the voice of the captain you could ear the travel sickness as he was fighting to keep is lunch in. "To all crew, we made transit without any incident, please resume your duty." Not that the crew was doing much better off, their : "We re naval fleet stuff..." attitude the only reason why so many white grim face did not too loose a few lunch on the shined floors. If the Rogue Trader did not display any weakness the crew would not either, they where made of stronger stuff then planet bound "know-it-all" [knitall].

The incisive voice of the Seneshal a very new member of the crew having boarded the ship at Port Wander, he had managed is own escape to the Expense form the Calidix sector "Status report of our surroundings? Is there anything of interest?" as all crew turned around towards the sensors day, the seneshal and Explorator magos stared fiddling. "our intelligence of the system seams accurate, we can confirm the various stellar object, no reported anomalies, we have contact with an automated beacon form the planet Lord".

"Send out the usual platitude on the Vox repeat in a loop comm officers, don't forget to add we have come to save them and claim what was ours.

- Aye Lord"

- Deploy escort fighters and keep running full sensor sweep, inform me of any deviations or anomalies

- Aye Lord"

- Lord, we report contact from our convoy, one of the Jericho transport-class as entered the materium Lord."

- Good, establish com with the ship, insure everything went well then deploy two third of our escort fighters and have them establish patrols until she is within our gun protection."

- Aye Lord."

- I will retire to the C&C room with the command staff, steady as she goes, bring us in orbit of the planet, insure we keep scanning for hidden ships or ground to space weapons and remind the captain of the transport ship to stay being us, I want The Light of Ambition to shield them from the planet.

- Lord we report no contact from the transport sister ship, she is overdue.

- Have all free hands report to the chapels of the ship, they are to pray the Imperator for 36 hours to help guide the ship to us, Praise the Imperator, he protects and shows the way! Contact the 1st eclisarch on board I want him to sanctify our arrival in system" barked Lord Horalis as he walked of the command throne and towards the C&C room.

"Master seneshal if you would do a full report of our status and the system please?"

----- To be continued ----

==== Chronicle Report of House Horalis ====

From: High Factotum Torus Glennorth, Chief Seneschal of House Horalis
To: Lord-Captain Maxiumus Horalis
BCC: Arbitrator Primus Naxander Durantis, Magos Juris Konstantyn Ambolic, Ordinate-Majore Mordechai Lorik, Commodore Teodor Naremmus

==== Report from Mnemosyne ====

My Lord,

This is a record of the events at the Horalis Colony site to the best of my resources. In it you will find the recorded transmit ions and additional supplemental resources you need to evaluate the chain of events that developed in your absence.

\ Horalis Colony Site, High Orbit - Light of Ambition\
It truly was a depressing looking planet. I do not know what the dynasties ancestors found of value here. The reports that are coming in display that the planets hydrosphere is extremely active with a near permanent storm covering most of the planet and rolling mists clinging to the surface of the land masses. Historical records report that besides the odd weather patterns the planet is host to some xenon spires made of a dark basalt like rock. The other strange report of the planet is that it has no geological activity and no tidal force to speak of even though it is host to three natural satellites in the form of moons.

As it is stated in the records of the ship the Lord-Captain along with his command staff and a small detachment of Housecarls deployed to the surface after my evaluation that the colony site a massive prefabricated hive substructure was running on emergency power and no communication of any kind was being received from the planet surface. Of note is that the only real signal that could be perceived was that of a low frequency psionic 'noise' would be the best interpretation.

The Lord-Captain and his command staff that made planet fall reported upon return that some strange phenomena was occurring planet side and the Engineseer Primus had taken a sample of a human like blood substance but in haste the Lord-Captain ordered the elimination of the sample. I feel much understanding could have come from review of that sample.

The next couple of days were busy I had made planet fall with the rest of the command staff and we established a field base at one of the secondary space ports that the hive substructure hosted. Our goals were simple get as much of the structure up to functional parameters before night fall. In this world it seems that the day and night cycles are that of 3 standard Holy Terra's months each. We were in the dusk period with approximately one standard week to complete the objectives. At the same time the Jericho Transports that were carrying the new colonists were due to arrive any time.

I will update you with further details as I compile the information.

==== Encrypted Subtext ====
I would also like to inform you my Lord that it is my theory that the souls of the departed wish to communicate with us as the attached details of Sub-Rector incident report that the dolls attempted to communicate with me when I asked a question. This needs greater evaluation by a higher order and I would submit that this be handed to the authorities that need to see this.

The proragaus system is located deep within the heathen stars. The colony you visited on on the fifth planet of the system.the 2nd, fifth, and seven plant actually have a surface. All the others are gases bodies.

Proragaus Five
Roughly 2/3s the size of earth, Proragaus is covered mostly with water with all the land concentrated to a central super-continent. The land itself is mostly flat and covered with a swampish forest that stay damp and moist year round due to near constant rain fail. In addition, during most of the time, the planet is covered in a heavy mist. This forms a near static weather condition with a complete lack of volcanic, seismic, and tidal activity. This is despite have three moons orbiting the planet. The speed of the rotation of the plant is also slow for planets of any size with it only complete one rotation on it's axis every cycle around it's sun(which takes six months earth time). This results in three constant months of night, and three of day. The surface of the planet itself is covered with tall black spires that protrude form the surface of the planet for exactly 3.14 kilometers, and are also 3.14 kilometers from each other. Although only barely explored these spires also seem to protrude form the ocean's floor at the same measures. Despite all these oddities, the planet still offers value. The rainfall from the planet is saturated with rare and valuable materials that have proven to be easy to harvest due to the constant nature of the rainfall. However, the minerals are not present in the large bodies of ocean water, and it is still unexplained how they get into the rainfall.

---------------------------------- The Longest night begins -------------------------

Location : Command center Zeta, at the foot of the Hive Spire

" My Lord, we are expecting the Engineer Chimera to be here in 20 min. Platoon 2 and 3 will also send out there engineers chimera as soon as fortification around the civilians habitats are ready. The colony deployment coordinator reports mostly everything is on track my Lord...

- Mostly, explain you self?

- Well my Lord, there is complain about fatigue, people have issue sleeping and...

- Must be due to the planet day and night cycle and the resent long warp voyage" waved the Captain.

"If I may my Lord many believe it could be related to the black spir...

- None sense! There as been no Xeno activity on this planet for eons.

- But my Lord the signs of battle all over the abandoned colony?

- Probably the local governor went to far from the Imperator's view and the people revolted", dismissed the Captain. " Very well, extra grox ration for all and insure the weapons lock are doubled and post guards around them. I don't want unrest." At that, the the clerk eyes widened in anticipation "Not that I expect any" added the Rogue trader in an icy voice which made the clerk squirm a bit.

"Of course my Lord who would dare arise your ire!" said the clerk as he baked out quickly.

After the clerk left the Rogue Trader left under a breath, "well a whole sector for starters..."

The longest night had just started as the colonist now called it, there 1st night here. The next one would be better, the lights would be back up and the city would be beautiful but now living in those pre-fab plasti-crete mini houses at 3 family and sometimes 4 packed in those, surrounded by a lake of knee deep mud, the engineers had installed the camp on the best spot but on this planet, water as a norm and it filled any little hole, the heavy machinery used to install the site had pretty much made a mess of the entire area, it would take a while for the mud to settle down.

Everything is covered in mud and dirt as passing vehicles throw the mud ever higher, the mist is thick once sometimes can't see is own foots. Those ours are the most grudging as the entire complex slows down to a crawl to avoid accidents.

The Rogue Trader is still concentrated on the colony deployment papers with the senechal when the remaining members of the command crew entered the room.

"Greeting Lord Maximus" opened the massive Librarian, having removed is helmet. Is deep rich voice echoing an understandable boredom, such mighty warriors where not designed and bread to protect a bulging colony but to dominate war fields. " My Battle brother have establish a few deep patrols and have found nothing of interest. We report no new movement form the black spires.

- All activated secondary power station are working to optimum power as are all vehicles and systems" added the Explorator Magos, which triggered in turn a response from every command crew member as all where still a bit eager to please the Lord Rogue Trader and show as much efficiency as the Space Marines.

"On my part, I have top report a very slow advance. All the doors of the Hive Spire are sealed, I have ordered all free engineering corps to be assigned to the Hive Spire taking column. Right now they are parked in front of the main access boulevard gates. We estimated 5 hours per doors and there is a Holy Imperator's dung load of them", we should be able to reach the central power core and the command center within the next few days. Hopefully, we will reach both in time for the longest night but I doubt it right now.

- Will this impact the colony deployment my Lord?

- A Bit but nothing too bad right now, the work not spent on the rain collectors can be spent on reinforcing the defences and and drain the hab complex, we would not want to have a sanitary issue at also.

- You seam irate my Lord if my may inquire?", said the Senechal.

" It's nothing really some bad sleep, nothing a few glasses of amesac won't fix. Arch-Militant Eva and my dear Space marine Lord, have your investigations revealed anything new on the previous colonist demise?

- No, my Lord, besides the all ready curious claw marks, we haven't found anything new. Besides, anything exposed to the elements as been washed away a long time ago, we can only rely on places where the elements aren't exposed and those area are full of molds and rot, so any remains could have either rotten away or been dragged of by some local scavengers or even a introduced one, like your good old raat-Dag, that follow any Imperial colony...

- Reports we gathered from the governor mention hint at a global rebellion, anyway, we should not be jumping at corners I say," says the Rogue trader in a flat but decided voice. "Our current modus operandi is still to establish the colony."

- My Lord I must add that we all feel a bit insecure, there is something amiss on this planet. There are reports of more candles appearing all over the compound...

- Which we still haven't found the source my Lord" added the Librarian.

-"Indeed..., the priest are able to dispel those but there are more and more and the priest are getting tired of constantly blessing every nook and crany we find one of those. The worst part is sometimes they have to redo the same place every other hour as the candles and dolls keep reappearing...

- Keep burning those site or doing the exorsion rituals we will win over those by praying to the God Imperor." All bowed their heads in respect to the Lord of mankind but all where uncertain about the upcoming events.

----- Part 3of session1 Incoming The night falls and the Hive is opened to us at last ---------------

My computer went poopoo on me yesterday. I will try to bring everything back tonight. Leaves me two days to bring back the vent server, it should be okay.

Thanks for the invite Timeless, but i'm just not sure if i'm interested int he themes expressed. I'm still a bit concerned about the whole "You do as i say our I shoot you in the head attitude. That and I i share someone elses concern about starting RT characters in a game with space marines. Plus it's my first week at a new job and that and hosting my home game is cutting into my time. Thanks any way.

I'm still too stupid to figure how to send private messages.

----------------- The night falls and the Hive is opened to us at last, AKA Mid summer dreams ---------------

A night so dark that you could believe the starts where gone, the fog so thick you could barely see you own feet. The light of the projectors, cooking fires or the welding torches created eery effect over the motor column. Little could be seen of the space port here too, except maybe for a glimpse of light when one of the orbital reentry shuttle would power it's engine to the max to acquire an escape velocity to leave this Emperor forsaken planet. The spell of bad dream had not receded if anything it had amplified with the coming of the night. The soldiers where on the edge, the engineers restless and tired from the constant wielding. How long at it been now? 2 days? Every single door of the spire was welded shut, it at considerably slowed the colony deployment, the main power generator was located at it's base and the colony command and control center was located within the central area like the power generator but a few kilometers above.

"I KNOW we are late on deployment schedules,... , NO, civilians are still confined to the temporary habitat, ... a reason? Tell them, the sentry will shoot at any moving shadows outside the perimeter it as to do for now. ... listen we are dealing with the spire right now, we have breached the outer doors, probably half way to the commander center and the main generatorium... No, I don't want the civilian to block the supply lines, they are to remain on the tempo..., listen you incompetent fool, if you cut me again I'll have shot then replaced. As I said, the spire is still of limits for security reasons, we would not want our troops shooting on civilian while we clear it corridor per corridor. This is the official story, any deviation from it means you make the carrier of the rumor a forgotten one. The real story? It for those in need only and you have don't need to know. Above all, KEEP 'HEM QUIET N REASSURED and indoors as much as possible. Okay, as soon as we are done, I'll try to pass by and pretend I enjoy their company.. YES of course it's a joke...

- My Lord, I have just been informed by the 2nd Engineer crew, they are about ready to break the seal for the Command and Control Center." said the Senechal from is own day a bit further off, both had been elbow deep in coordination and paperwork, since there was little else to do while the engineering crew where at work " The Blood Ravens are assembling bu the door.

- Good, have a word sent to wait for me, I'll head there right away.

- The 2nd engineering crew reports it should breach the main power generatorium in the next hour or so my Lord.

- Are you going to accompany me?

- If my Lord does not mind, I would rather...

- Maybe I said it wrong, you are going to accompany me...

-... As you wish my Lord." The senechal eyes rolled again, can this man do anything without me?

- Ev... My dear Arch Militant, if you could please ensure that our most effective CC team is ready with the engineering crew." Without hesitation Maximus strolled out of the room not looking at is personal body guard and alto he was the overall house control, she held the true power over the military elements of the house. here icy stare followed him and she stepped out after him. Only the senechal was able to see the desire to kill in her eyes... what had triggered that feeling he thought? He could see a few actually, the Rogue Trader had a bad tendency to macro manage, probably Eva just did not like to be second guessed...

------ Deep within the Hive a little while latter -----

"Lord Rogue Trader Maximus, how gracious of you to be here... finally" The booming and clearly annoyed voice and impatient of the Librarian covered all the noise around the site, the supply line created by the deployed man power to keep a retreating path in the hive had helped to navigate the hive but it was still an impressive structure and traveling it could be long.

"I have no doubt your team could have managed anything we will find on the other side my dear friend" at that the Space Marine eyebrow raised had he not just jested the Rogue Trader? Yet is words where not supplicating or asking for forgiveness for ordering the Space marines to wait. The Librarian gaze concentrated deeper on the Rogue Trader brushing the contour of is soul, trying to reading is upper thought. Then the librarian understood the mornings exchange of words clearly...

"I am sorry Lord Space Marine" said the Rogue Trader and after a pose," you may find this planet uninteresting, next time I will try harder to find a stop where your skills are more challenged.

- There is no smaller task, only the eternal vigil.

- yes... then I assume as you are always vigilant there is no need to worry..."

The Librarian eyes crossed those of the Rogue Trader, the same state was there as this morning... then the image sunk in, this man was ready for a fight to the death, he was looking to avenge someone or something... around the Rogue Traders left hands was wrapped a prayer bead, caked in blood. He had seen those before, the maiden of the house ***** that same prayer bead, so did all the young women of the crew... That one was quick to anger, he would have to insure this would not jeopardize the greater mission or is battle brothers.

"Do it" simply said the Lord Rogue Trader. As one the Space Marines caught each an handle on the door and started to pull them apart with a great grinding noise. The Rogue Trader did not move, standing strait in front of the great doors not moving, defiant. Then is shoulder sank, nothing rushed out, no answer yet, no enemy to come to grasp with, still no answer on what had happened to the original colony.

The room was empty, completely empty. As had been the Hive up to know, not a single trace of blood either, the carnage had been limited to the area surrounding the hive spire, well every where else then the spire. The Only sign had been this "Do not Open" painted in great letters on the 1st door then nothing at all. Only the mansion of the governor had revealed a bit more "Death" had been written in blood on the walls, nothing much there either.

As they explored the room, nothing obvious came, except when the Navigator and the Librarian opened their sense to the effect of the Warp. There on the command chair was a shade, an echo of the past or a psykic impression. As the Librarian and the Navigator spoke about it's origin, the crew listening to the discussion of ethereal matter, the Rogue Trader moved towards the chair en surprisingly sat in it at once and yelled: "I reclaim this Colony in the glorious name of the Emperator of Man and Horalis!"

As had happened previously, the power went out at once over the entire colony, with a scornful reply the Rogue trader said : "Bring back the power now! I command you!", and just as he finished the power did come back...

All the remaining of the command staff looked at him with stare of confusion.... "What are you doing, Senechal call the colony manager tell them we finished cycling the power cells again...

- But my Lord what power cell", inquired the Magos.

- Just mind your business Magos.

- But I believe the Power cell should be my business, I demand to know what power cell...

- You demand NOTHING!!!" yelled back the Rogue Trader, after a few seconds the Rogue trader said "All none command crew clear the room", as all followed with side way glance to each other expecting hell to break loose as soon as the door would close. " Now we are alone, please excuse the charade my good Magos, we are telling the colony those power outage are due to power cell cycling to prevent unrest, I don;t know if it really works but it's better then general panic when the population realizes we are under threat.

- But clearly you have no signs of this", stated the Magos, "Like you had none to force me to destroy the blood sample, which could have wielded valuable information...

- Well not until a few seconds ago", the Rogue Trader slipped a data pad on the desk, the 1st note said:

---------------------- Engineering Report -------------------------

TO: Governor Alicia Horalis

FROM: 1st shift assistant to main Power Hub, Frackles MeGood

Reason : Crack on the floor

My dear Governor, no we cannot simply patch the "crack" in the floor as you said it, it goes very deep, it could destabilize the entire Hive Spire super structure, We must send out a investigation and assessment party to quantify the amount of damage to the structure and t#&%^@%^$@^&%$@

---- Message terminated for unknown reason ------

- The next message talks about unrest while the last one is unreadable."

The booming voice of the marine added:" We now know wher...

- Stop, don't open the doors", yelled the Rogue Trader in is comm-bead, already running down the corridor, "To all teams relay the message do not open...

- .......bbzzzzzzz... ggrssshh....Eeelllppp, they are everywhere.... by the Imperor mercy... ", staccato of gunfire and the zapping sound of lazers carbine being fire.

- Pull back, pull back" yelled the Rogue Trader, pushing is speed to the limit, only the astartes had been able to catch and double him.

As they made for the main Spire crossing, they found the column of vehicles abandoned, candles, those damned candles where every where again. Not stopping for long, they kept bolting for the main generatorium hopping to be able to catch the crew before they had broken loose wha...

Just as the thought formed in is mind about what he was really going to do, he but headed a guard on duty who had taken the opportunity to try and cook some recaf.

"SORRY my Lord, please I beg of you excuse me.

- it's okay, you don't use milk.

-... euuhh, yes my Lord...

- What is the report of the missing teams? What have you seen?

-...euuuhh...", the soldier looked at is cup, then the Rogue trader, unsure: " Missing team sir?

- Didn't you ear their screams on the comm?

- Euuhhh... Screams my Lord?

- Never mind resume you duty and next time, the thing running down the corridor might be a monster soldier be on your guard, I could have killed you...

- Yes my Lord Trader.

- maybe you should still Lord Captain for incompetence and dereliction of duty my Lord", added the towering and imposing presence of the Librarian. At that the soldier took is guard post white like a flag...

----- part 4 coming up, into the rabbit hole! ----------------

DISCLAIMER :

  1. the Original story may have been modified for the production of this movie, the producer, writers and executors of this movie would like to provide their most sincere apologies.
  2. Thoughts and idealogie of the different personage may vary from reality and or not necessarily endorsed by this studio.
  3. The Rogue trader and the Space Marine are actually quite friendly and very open to suggestions.
  4. I am sorry you feel constrained by the parameters of the mission but should you decide to proceed anyway, don't break the glass, it's your computer screen.

I suspect that you might just be shy of crossing the line of being a bit sarcastic I would tone it down. I understand the others point of view and no player likes being rail roared by the actions of a single player. In Rogue Trader all players wield great power and are very high ranking individuals. Even a Rogue Trader would be hard pressed to protect themselves from the ire of the other factions after all you may be the captain but we make the thing work and powerful organizations don't take kindly to threats. Just my two Thrones on this and letting you know I will not be in the game today since I will be traveling.
