lol, well it is at your discretion when you leave, if you'd like to take the next 'port out feel free. The Imperium routinely sacrifices planets with populations in the billions for petty reasons, no one will give you that hard of a time for abandoning some low ranking humans.
Feeling tired right now, I'll post in gameplay when I'm more awake=)
Sorry guys, my chronic illness has flared up, I'm having a hard time comprehending details right now, I think I need to take a short break, say til Saturday the 30th of May.
I should be back into shape by then, thanks for your patience =)

No worries bro, get yourself right first for your family. We'll still be here.
Hmmm alright, tomorrow is Saturday but it seems I am still not well and am having a hard time with details.
I purpose a solution: Would you guys mind if we went full story mode, no rules for the last part of this mission?
I will give you full narrative license with how you fight the Tyranids, how you kill them, how people respond etc.
I will give you all an additional story XP bump for it and the upside is your characters aren't at risk at all unless you want them to be, say if you want your marine's leg snipped off by a Carnifex so you can get a bionic after the mission=)
In addition I will give you the XP and rewards for this mission now so you can take your time leveling up before the next mission when the rules kick back in.
Everyone cool with this?
Sounds good, we had some good battles, we can still role for ourselves sometimes to randomize our narrative, but it'll be strictly for us. I'm down, if everyone agrees we can post after you start the invasion off
I can certainly work with this, but stop stealing the idea i had for my deed, hatred of tyranids and bionic, which i haven't even written in my background yet! :) (really must do that!)
I'm perfectly fine with this as well.
Alright, sounds good, Tyranid invasion post in gameplay and rewards post here coming soon.
Awards(before possible PC modifiers)
Total XP Award: 2,800
Renown Award: 7
1 Fate Point Awarded for the Inquisitor surviving and both the Limiter and Device being recovered!
You will receive an additional +100 to +300 XP depending on how awesome the invasion story goes.
Cool, gonna post something now.
Will post a bit of a Tyranid Bestiary for those unfamiliar with them.
Feel free to post what you like and even add creatures in like Morgan did. I'm guessing they'll be prolly like three waves before you guys leave.
After this wave some more storyline stuff will happen too which I'll narrate the set up for but feel free to trash this wave anyway you like.
I'm loving it so far.=)
Children's day, busy but I'll be on tonight, weekend killed me and now today, China has too many people... But I love it.
Sardus, Korbin, and some work on Yuugasas Inquisitor. I think I've got my fill on games for a while, not joining or making more. Quality over quantity.
Nice read so far fellas.
ugh, sorry it's been so long since I posted, will post in gameplay soon.
Yeah Othair if you guys want to post in turns that's cool but don't feel restricted to that. I like your Carnifex krak grenade kill, it reminded me of a short story about Ragnar Blackmane from a codex a long long time ago.
So sorry for the delay, ever have one of those times when you are sick and your like "I'm about to do this!" and instead you fall asleep for eight hours, then it happens multiple times and it's three days later?=)
How are we to know about the latest threat? No one knows, so can't react in character...
Any sensors, alarms, or others that might of been alerted? They might take our ride home, time to retreat/fallback? No winning really versus these odds..
I'm pretty sure that was rattling around my head and was the inspiration! But wanted it to be a little different.
How many rooms do we need to secure to protect teleporter and associated power supply?

Sorry I'm not actually done with the Chaos marine narration, should have said more to come in ooc... =)
For now we can continue with the Tyranid narration till I pop the next bit which should be soon, if you like, otherwise you can wait a bit it for it to come.
Oh, missed Aterro's post in gameplay, I guess that takes care of that.
I like how you are sending the two of them to check on some missing techs in the middle of a siege.
Almost reminds me of a Red Vs Blue-like moment;
"Don't worry guys, its prolly just a broken Vox link, but if it happens to be an almost full company of Traitor marines at least this is storyline mode so you can't die!" ^_^
I'm pretty sure that was rattling around my head and was the inspiration! But wanted it to be a little different.

That's cool, it brought me a moment of warm nostalgia, I liked it=)
Depends on what you guys want to do, you can save the teleporter from the marines or they can capture or destroy it, in which case you can either do a daring mission to recapture it and escape or you can be forced to find another way off the planet!
It's storyline mode, whatever you guys wanna do is cool, I'll add narration in myself to make it work.
Actually if this story goes on a while and gets more epic then just a cap to the mission I'm down with giving you guys even more bonus xp as a reward for your written work, we can just play it any way we like, short or long.
I'm just kind of going a long with the story and leaving lots of room for others to act, however it plays out is fine with me.
I'm going to be out of town for the next three days, prolly won't be able to post. The good news though is I am feeling better and better, maybe when I get back I'll be ready to pick things back up more properly=)
I'm back, sorry for the delay, going to bed soon but I'll catch up and post tomorrow.
Enjoying the posts fellas, everyone working well and playing off each other's posts. I'll try and post again today.
Sorry, no posts today, Orange is the New Black Season 3 just dropped and I'm binge watching with my girl=)
Echoing BayouSnowman that you guys write good stuff=)
Man this story is fun to read, you guys are doing a great job.
Well, my sickness has abated and my mind has return so I can do math and other fun stuff now =P So I can pick up at any time but I think what we should do is let you guys finish up the story until you teleport back to the Battle Barge where normal gameplay will resume.
I'm thinking of adding a special reward as well as bonus XP when you get back.=)
Sounds good, I'll try to wrap it up asap.
Gameplay stalled a bit, you guys need me to give it a jump start?
Maybe everyone makes one more storyline post then we complete the mission?
That seems like it would work. I'll have a post up sometime tonight or tomorrow.
Alright, seems things have lagged a bit too much. I'll wait til friday for the last final posts and if their not up wrap the story up myself. This is a good game and I don't want it losing momentum completely.=)
Yea, I've been busy with GM duties so I've lagged a bit here, apologies o my fellow players. Those games are off now and so hopefully my time will be more evenly spread. Great game, looking forward to the conclusion and whats next to come.
In regards to XP, Korbin has a pict-recorder and special chapter ability to roll a tactics tests after the mission and everyone gains +50xp per DOS. I'll wait til things warp up to roll that or whenever you tell me to.
Added a bit about Korbin enhancing the self destruct, seemed appropriate=).
I'm really happy with your guys story telling, an additional +500 Xp for each of you and an additional award will be coming in a bit as well.
Nice conclusion.
Nice conclusion.
Thank you=)
What's with the Inquisitors offer to join their forces??? He keeps offering, are we not able to return or something else up that I missed?
Maybe its nothing and I'm over analyzing.
Oh, it's because Othair, Luthar and Aterro aren't directly attached to this subsector's Inquisitorial force like Sardus, Korbin or Morgan, he is offering them a place here if they wish.
Ok, cool.
Each of you has a suite in the ship given over to you now that has everything a marine of your type needs, feel free to narrate a bit of downtime as you make yourselves comfortable, receive medical attention and equipment repairs and meditate on the last mission before Weyland summons you for the next part of the story.
If you guys need a boost I can narrate some things to paint a more vivid picture of the ship and your suites.
It's all good, I plan to post a few things for my guy, plans of his to reflect how I'll spend XP, kind of an outline of what he plans to do, but may not happen before we do whatever comes next.
We've all been freestyling it for a while, maybe people just waiting on a little more direction and hint/interaction from NPCs...maybe that's just me. Just caught up with my GM duties in other threads, now I'll try to post tonight for this game. I forgot to post here in this thread, but brother just moved to India and I've been chilling with him, then my wife's been ill the past few days, so I've been watching our daughter and taking care of her by myself, including taking off work and not having the time to post that I usually get. Anyways, I'm back and in full swing, need to sort out XP and stuff.
Also, I'll roll adn post Korbin's After action report and roll a tactics to see if we get an xp boost from his pict recorder/chapter ability.
Also, I'd inquire as to what's next IC, but I think we're still a little in the dark as to the larger picture, so I can't really think to anticipate on whats next and how to prepare or address the threats...Obviously a Tyranid invasion, but not one that we can stop with our current resources...I'm assuming we got some business with what we recovered, or maybe its independent of what is to follow. Either way, I'm happy and enjoying it, I'm sure once we resume regular role play it'll pick up again.
It's all good, take as much time as you need with your family.=)
Yeah the larger picture of what's happening in the campaign is still fuzzy to the PCs(on purpose at this point) but I will tell you all of the missions you are/will be doing are related and all the threads come together later for a big climax before the game becomes a very choose your own adventure style game with the previous campaign story informing what is happening.
This game is kinda set up like a Final Fantasy game if you've ever played one, where you have a decently long and kinda linear story set up before it branches out into a more free form adventure with lots of stuff to do or not as is your preference before some final show downs.
Anyway I'll wait till Monday for some downtime posts then Weyland will call you all back together for the next story bit.
I will do my advances tomorrow, nothing too extraodinary, better BS extra dodge, etc. Much though I don't normally like to be a complete meathead combat monster, sometimes you just have to go down that route and roleplay the dumbass!
Yea..I too wondered about Armor, was it lost on the shield maiden or did it get left elsewhere??
Could be just easier to say we got our armor from before, but may not really work out with current story..so? Korbin is fine, didn't take Terminator, Sardus though...he could keep it or lose it...Guess it depends on what you're throwing at us next and if we "choose" to keep the Term. Armor or select something else...
No bid deal, I wasn't gonna say much, but since Othair brought it up, guess its worth discussing.
EDIT:
What is our current renown? (with +7 from latest mission)
