You may decide on your own why you are here in detail (if I didnt write otherwise) - you do not know yet that this work is for the inquisition though.

You just know, that a high level imperial organization brought you together for an special operation. Details are to be told by a contact person who is going to meet you at the department soon.

Only thing you kmow is, that your abilities seem to be usefull for a very specific kind of job...

For now, you may get to know each other.

In general, I like to give players a lot of freedom, as long as they keep it reasonable.

I'm from the Eastern USA (GMT-5 hours, I believe).

Weasels,

Do you have an idea about how many years ago Dammek was arrested?

I am thinking about Asterius's story, and this will certainly come up.

One other thing: about my eye (you bastard). I was thinking about either one of your gang mates actually took it out or you did it by accident, as you were not very willing to fight at the time and I'm not sure you would have survived actually having purposefully shot out the eye of an Arbites.

Any thoughts?

Dammek was arrested about five years ago. He spent approximately a year being processed and assigned to a penal legion and traveling to a war zone, so he was in combat zones for slightly less than four years.

As for the bionic eye, I think it would leave more options open to GauntZero if Asterius already had the eye when Dammek was arrested. The sight of a fully-armored Arbites officer with one glowing red eye pointing a combat shotgun at Dammek is not one he will soon forget... Dammek doesn't seem like the type to resist arrest very heavily

I'm from the West Coast of Canada. so Pacific timezone for me. Presently 8:46am at the time of writing this.

Also, yes, it's totally fine to refer to me as Col, everyone does.

Five years is perfect.

Enough time for me to be a young man, but already an officer at the time. As Asterius is currently 34, he would have been 29 at the time of the bust.

I like the idea of him having lost an eye at the time for two reasons:

a) it becomes a very memorable time for him; a threshold in his life.

b) he could have received a medal at the time for his injury, being promoted from Arbitrator to Investigator.

I can see him loosing an eye from frag grenade shrapnel during the initial assault but, fething stubborn bastard that he is, refusing to stay behind, and actually being the one who apprehended Dammek. The actual fether who shot him escaped, and he never again heard of the xenotech smugglers.

Five years later, he found evidence that the gang was operating once more in the Lower Hive, and was designated to investigate.

After finding their safe house, he requested reinforcements but did not wait for them. During the bust, his partner died, but he survived and managed to arrest / kill some of the members of the cell and retrieve some sor of xeno device.

After recovering from the injuries of the incident, and under investigation by the Arbites Internal Affairs for his actions, he was approached by this high level Imperial whatshisname.

I don't mind having lost an eye before that, however. Whatever fits best.

Would it ok to make the case you worked on about the witches I mentioned instead of the xenos smugglers ?

Even better.

Honestly, I'd rather shoot heretics in the face then xenos, this idea was meant more to connect with Weasel's character.

Maybe one of Dammek's compatriots shot out Asterius's eye and was killed, but Dammek just got gun-butted in the head rather than shot; the Arbites were determined to take at least one of the xenotech smugglers alive to gain information about their clients. By the time Dammek was brought before a court for his (very brief) trial, Asterius had been fitted with his bionic eye and never stopped glaring at Dammek throughout the proceedings. That would be a memorable experience for both characters

Oh, I like this.

I like this a lot.

I apparently don't know how to quote it, but I still like it.

Guys, sorry it took me so long to answer, I didn't see the in game topic.

My thanks to dava for warning me!

A question for Gaunt; in your opening post you have said the PCs get a strange feeling about me. Now I do not have a problem with this with my fellow investigators as we have already traded some initial words and I am going to tell them I am from the telepathica, but will this strange feeling also extend to other npcs that we meet?

My thoughts on this are that I should appear and 'feel' like a normal person as I am not a null. At least until I open myself to the warp and invoke a power.

As you are wearing robes of the telepathica and having the one or other scar left from your sanctification, this is mainly what creates their indirect strange feeling - besides the hidden power that dwells in your eyes.

Its not your aura in general.

BTW, dava, have you perchance rolled for Sanctioning effects?

I know it's not on the beta, but I used to love that table!

Gaunt - I am happy to go with that. I will generally not be wearing my Telepathica robes though, but am ok with wearing them to the meeting (unless there is a reason I should wear them most of the time?).

svsrauser - Yeah it is a shame they weren't included in the Beta rules. I will roll when I am home later and update my character sheet.

They are not official, so we handle it fluff-only without rule impact.

Regarding who wears what: as a standard rule: everybody wears the typical clothes for his background if not stated otherwise.

So be careful for future undercocer work

Fine by me, I think most if not all of the sanctioning table is flavour anyway.

I assume we do have some basic changes of clothes though that don't have Telepathica or Arbites stamped upon them?

I don't believe those are standard issue, but basic clothing should be fairly easy to requisition in the future. My explosive collar will have to be incorporated into my disguise though

Random (and slightly off-topic) aside: if Dral is Brain, Dammek is almost certainly Pinky

I understand it is not covered in character generation, but surely we have some changes of clothes (I am not talking disguises, just run of the mill clothes)? Arbites are not always on duty and must have R&R time not marked out as an Arbite?

Well, I did put civilian clothes in my equipment tab just for the purpose of undercover investigation, but I live in the planet, so I'm assuming I have a (very small) hab-space with clothes and an assortment of personal paraphernalia, correct?

But don't worry, we will inform you when we change to normal clothes!

I got to say, however, that I got the I with the scales stamped in all my underwear.

Weasels: the pinky and the brain, the pinky and the brain, one is a heretic in potential, the other insane!

Still on the matter, brain is usual imperium slang for psykers, hence the nickname.

Don't worry, you'll get one too!

Dava: R&R? I know not this strangeness you speak of, citizen.

Is this legal?

(the original question was a joke, BTW ^^. Though not a very good one, apparently...)

Ah I see! It has been a long day at work forgive me.

Idleness is heresy!
