Out in the streets, I'lm going to try and find transport to an outlying AgriHarvest Storage location, and scope it out from a distance for a while

And old farmer stops next to you and asks you if you need a ride ?

He has a strange sparkle in his eyes as he looks at you...

Teagan will jog back to mansion.

Teagan will jog back to mansion.

That means an athletic-test +10 or you get 1 fatigue.

Well now I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Ok, I thank him, and jump in with the bundle on my lap. Hand on my las pistol inside.

I give him a nod. "Thank ye kindly. Saves me some pain on these legs"

"Yeah", he says with a warm smile, "we really wouldnt want these legs to hurt, would we ?".

He then mumbles something you dont really understand, but you guess it was rather towards himself.

"I am bringing some of this months tithes to the local storage facilities. What do you search out there ? Work ?"

He takes a look at your muscles.

"You look like someone who knows how to work hard."

Athletics Test + 10

S 40 [rolled 31] = success

Without the slightest hint of sweat you reach the palace just a moment after the motorbike.

You quickly drive back (with Teagan running behind you ?).

As you return, you find the governess guarded by Crouze and his men.

Angevin seems gone, but Reginald finds his message.

Reginald tells Crouze and his men to secure the rest of the building, that he and his men will guard the governess. He approaches the governess and says to her kindly, "I am here to serve and protect you, now." Reginald removes his helmet and moves close to the governess.

I shift in my seat and glance at the guy.

People on this world are weird.

I mostly ignore his questions, just grunting and looking forward.

I just wait till we arrive, pistol ready

She gets a little closer towards you.

"Thank you so much", she whispers, "You cannot imagine how scared and vulnerable I feel...I am about to lose everything". She seems to be close to the tears.

"Do you...do you have my...husbands...letters?"

"You are rather a quiet one, huh ?" - he chuckles.

"I also think, talking is overrated. Like some years ago, when I said to Rick...." - the drive to the next storage facility takes only 4h...but to you, it feels like 4 days...

On arrival I jump out before the vehicle fully stop.

"Thank you fort he ride sir. Harvest Emperor watch over you."

And I quickly walk out if sight.

It's still night, right?

I'm going to do a long reconnaissance walk around the facility, using magnoculars to survey every inch of it. If I need some high ground I'll use my grapnel to ascend some surrounding buildings. I want to get a map of the area, and figure out whether it's guarded, the guard time changes, and if there is anything weird going on.

Have Crouze and his men left the room?

Yes, it is still night, but the sun will rise in about 1h.

Your observation gives you the following information:

- the area around the store houses is guarded quite heavily - more than you thought, the area is patroled by 5 teams of 4 men each

- the storage houses are huge...they must store since decades here

- the man who brought you here, brings the goods of his truck to a checkpoint and drives back half an hour later

Yes, they did. But they are close.

Teagan & Camyll are with you though.

Teagan & Camyll are with you though.

"I found your letters. You will tell me what you know. You will tell me every detail. You will not lie to me. You have disgraced yourself. You have disgraced your family. You have disgraced this planet. Pray that what you tell me may earn you some forgiveness by the Emperor."

As Reginald brings his face close to her's, his servo skull silently drifts behind him, and with a motion behind his back, Reginald signal sit to begin recording.

Please roll an interrogate test +30 or an intimidate test +30

Is this Intimidate using Strength or Fellowship, and if so is it following the new Opposed Test rules from Update 4?

I rolled a 73, so that's:

3 DoF if Intimidate uses Fellowship (42-20 Untrained+30 Ease of Task= TN of 52)

4 DoF if Intimidate uses Strength (32-20 Untrained +30 Ease of Task)

I don't think Reginald could use Interrogate, since it's supposed to take at least an hour, although I guess he might try that if Intimidate doesn't work.

It depends how you try to intimidate her...the way you tried, I'd say Fellowship in this case, which means 3 DoF.

She suddenly gets cold and her face gets an angry expression.

"Sergeant Crouze ?" - she shouts in a much stronger voice than you expected her to have.

A few seconds later, Crouze comes into the room.

"I think our guest just decided to leave our palace. Please guide him and his companions outside."

Crouze nods, obviously being not very happy about this order.

"And take this documents they currently have from them. They belong to our house."

Teagan says, "Hold on there Sergeant." He turns to the Governess and says, "I think you owe us some explanations considering we were almost murdered in YOUR House." He says with a grimace and using Intimidation of his own [Fel 35 + 30=65 [rolled a 43].

[WP test rolled 77]

She makes a step back and starts to search for words.

"I didnt want it to turn out that way ! I...I...never thought about it becoming anything like that ! Not at all ! I never intended to be part of such a...mess..."

Toning his voice down ever so slightly he says, "You didn't want it to turn out what way? What exactly did you intend to happen?"

"She promised me a way out of this misery, a solution to get all I ever wanted instead of nothingness for decades. Wouldnt you also make some brave moves for love ? It was my only chance to be with him, and she just wanted us to ki..." - the zapping of a lasgun cuts the conversation like a knife.

One of Crouzes men stands at the door to the room, his lasgun pointing towards the governess, who has a smoking hole in her head.

Crouze eyes widen, he seems to be surprised.

My gaze turns toward Crouze with a determined look of *What the hell is going on here?* What does Crouze do?

*Crouze readies his lasgun*

Test for Scrutiny +20
