Bar Hoppers: Caius pays the man and takes his beer, then says "So, I just transferred to this rock. Besides punching a man in the face, what is there to do around here?"
Caius entered the Sucker Punch and strode right up to the bar.
Caius unbuckled his shield and sat it in the truck, followed shortly by his breastplate and shotgun; he then strapped his shock maul on his belt. Finally, he sat his revolver with the rest of his gear and said "let's go have a drink."
Congrats on your successful spawning!
"So like I said, which bar are we starting with?"
"So, which bar are we starting with?"
It happens to me more than I'm happy with.
Caius actually looks Ptah dead in the eyes and says "Would you repeat that please?" with his hand actually going to his pistol.
"I'm not that great at disguises, and I don't really know anything about mining or how a miner should look."
"I would suggest we bar the doors and set the buildings on fire. Once the burning stops, we can deal with any survivors and comb the wreckage at our leisure."
You guys would be lost without me, so I'll hang around =P
"Residential Facilities first."
"Sure. I believe it's the guard that say the worst ride beats the best walk."
"Very well." said Caius as he takes point and begins walking in that direction.
"This is why I did not have our ship stay at the dock." says Caius.
"It looks like they attempted to disble the lift, but it's machine spirit is strong."
Caius puts away his shock maul and draws his heavy stubber pistol as he moves into the lift. He picks the side that his gut tells him is the most troublesome and moves to the outermost edge of that side, doing his best to use his shield to block the others behind him.
"We move with the steady determination of the righteous. They will flee before us eventually, and gather in a single place, leading us directly to their leader. Heretics are rather simple-minded like that." "In short, Lady Othriad, we make them flee in a blind panic."
"Anyone else see an ambush here when we send forth our valliant techpriest to call down the lift?"
"I would conditionally agree, but only if there were more heretics than non-heretics. At any rate, let us head to the residences, and we should be prepared for a fight the entire way. Guide me and I will take point."
"I'm guessing the bulk of the heretics are below, however, but I will acceed to your judgements to go and arrest the supervisor."
"I believe we can either head further insto the mine or back up top. Did you talk to the machine spirit of that auspix Ptah? Did it happen to have a map on it by any chance?"
"Yes, it was basically a case of a bunch of drunk agriplanet kids taking a cow, and the cow's owner wanted the daughter to pay cause she was apparently the ringleader. Nothing too exciting, but it's hard to forget a weapon like that once it's been shoved in your face."
"No, it was just a simple issue of a stolen cow."
"I haven't see a side-by-side shotgun since some farmer shoved one in my face." Caius chuckled and added "He really didn't want me arresting his daughter."
Looking into the room with the others, Caius says "Anyone who does not now have at least a shotgun needs to secure one."
While the others search the bodies, Caius goes about making sure that none of the miners were still alive. He then reloads his revolver and asks "Did you find anything useful?"
"Let's go take a look at where the foreman was going to run to. I would imagine that he was trying to get backup from others in his heresy circle, or whatever they want to call it. We should hopefully get some sort of answer there."
"There is an active Heresy here. I do not believe that such a thing should go unpunished."
Pulling back the hammer in his heavy stub revolver and putting the barrel to the foreman's head, Caius begins to speak: "As you have turned away from the light of the Throne of Man; As you have sworn your allegiance to Humanity's enemy; and as you have spit in the face of the sacrifice of your ancestors and those who have come before you, I pronounce you heretic and traitor to both your people. I declare your sentence to be death, to be carried out immediately." Caius then pulled the trigger. Standing, he reloaded his revolver then said "So now what?"
"Would not a heretical man make a heretical servitor?"
"Clearly, you have strayed far from the light of the Emperor. Brother Balthazar?" Caius asked, clearly waiting for the priest to weigh in on the man's soul before executing him.
Caius removed his pistol and said "Answer the lady's question."
Caius swiftly snatches off the vox and hands it to Yelisaveta, saying "Convince him to come down here." Caius then forced open the foreman's mouth and shoved the barrel of his stubber into it. He then nods at Yelisaveta.
Caius put his shield on his back then reared up and stomped down on the man's exposed stomach with his full weight. "You were asked a question. Answer it."
As the hostilities finished, Caius sheathed his shock maul and moved back around the hauler, dragging the foreman to join the group by his hair, intentionally making sure to drag him through any pools of blood were on the ground. He then tossed his head to the ground and said "You are a traitor to the Golden Throne, ever may he reign. Your life is over, and your soul is set to burn. While you can't save the former, the latter is still up for debate. Tell us everything and your soul may yet be spared."
Caius moved to the Miner threatening Ptah and smashes his shock maul into the man.
Jesus. That's why I stopped working retail. The juxtaposition of good leaders having no power and the people in power being s#+! leaders.
Caius clambered over the newly-arrived loader towards the sound of melee.
Caius stands up and calls out "Is everyone okay?"
Caius does his best to act as a bulwark between his companions and the approaching vehicle.
Caius sheathes his pistol, tosses Naltos a set of Manacles, and then draws his Shock Maul. "Don't go running off. Let them get into range."
Caius readied his shield and moved towards the foreman.
He then called out "Surrender in the name of the Golden Throne. You are all under arrest."
"Yes, let him come back and we'll take him then."
Caius coughed once and nodded then drew his heavy stubber revolver quietly and said nothing.
