Odette:
The Data slates give you trouble and you are unable to sooth the machine spirits at this time. "I will leave the rest up to you. I have fulfilled my obligation. I need to attend to other manners. You may come and go as you wish." Red leaves a piece of parchment on the desk with the code to the door to this bunker on it.
The Red haired woman looks impressed at Odette. Yes, these data slates here. I can not access them. The spirits are very angry when I invoke them She hands Odette two Data Slates that have a bit of blood on them.
Red looks at Volc and says I have not been able to discern a way up the lifts without violence. There are sophisticate machine spirits that are able to see through deception and my skin suit. Some nobles are so secluded and rich they have their own private Skimmers and that is the only way to reach them. Volc: You see the Screaming Wheel on the map, and there is a secluded villa very near it. You think its reasonable that if Lans has something to do with the Babyfaces, he would be there. Fort Desoleum is easily found on the map and you are sure that should the need arise and you need to out yourself as acolytes you could seek refuge there. The Sanctioned Oathsbondsmen have a precinct in the Gallowsway not far from the Screaming Wheel. There is also a Bazaar on the Map that is near the Great Gate that leads to the Wastelands, you believe you can aquire gear there though what kind of currency they might accept you are not sure.
Cloudboys often crave recognition, but they use aliases. One such fellow that has made a name for himself is a babyface called Skinner. The babyfaces hangout at the Screaming Wheel, a jet bike bar in the Gallowsway.
No, and I would remember. It wouldn't surprise me to find he has become a cloudboy. There has been a rise in them recently. Noble born that want a taste of excitement that come down to play hive ganger. Some of them are quite effective though.
Red nods to Sister Ciaran I know who you are noble sister.When I was tasked to assist you, all I was told was to help you find some noble named Lans Guilijan and to give you access to this safe house. The apex is not going to be easy to access. Nor is it really a place to be wondering around without a destination. Most lifts are to a specific house, and some require special transport. There are auto-defenses with advanced targeting spirits. I was told you have a member of the mechanicus among you. I have collected some data slates from my...other assignments that I have been unable to access. Perhaps she can sooth the angry spirits? She says looking at Odette again.
The stealthy woman leads you through a series of back alleys and into a opening of a ruined building that looks to be very old. There are mutants and vagrants that scatter as you enter, except for one. A large mutant stand up and lifts the blanket he was sitting on revealing a hatch. The red haired woman glances around before entering a code on the door. It opens to a stairway leading down. She motions you to follow her as she walks down. Inside is what appears to be the remnants of an abandoned bunker that possibly dates back to the great crusade. There are old imperial symbols painted on the walls. Adeptas Sororitas Background/Scholastic Lore History-20:
This belonged to the Sisters of Silence during the great crusade. An ancient order of warrior women dedicated to combating enemy witches. This sisterhood predates the Adepta Sororitas, but has many similarities. There is a floating Cherub repeating a portion of a prayer to the emperor. Don't mind that, it is broken. Unless you think you can fix it? The red haired woman speaks for the first time looking at Odette. Tech Use +30:
You are able to bypass the repeating message and it offers you a code. It seems to be coordinates to some location in the Gallowsway, the lower hive. Common Lore Ecclesiarchy +10:
You recite the prayer out of reflex and it begins to give you coordinates to a location in the Gallowsway, deep in the lower hive. There is a desk with a map of Desoleum on it. You may refer to me as Red by the way. The woman bows briefly. I was tasked with another mission, but that is over now. I have been reassigned to assist you. I have made this map, but I am unable to find Lan's mansion on it. Navigation Surface +30: You are able to locate several lifts that lead to the apex, but she has them marked in red. There are a few estates that seem to have private access only by way of skimmer.
A sound of electricity and a loud buzz comes from the floating Servo Skull. It spins and crashes. Sliding down the pipes with the grace of a gazelle is a woman in short red hair and obvious cybernetic augmentations. Feliks/Odette:
The woman is a Pariah. She has no presence in the warp and she makes you very uncomfortable. Any attempt to manifest psychic powers around her will be very difficult and potentially have unexpected results. Pysniscience tests will be -30 around her. Forbidden Knowledge Officio Assassinorum-10:
She bares the marks of the Shrouded Eye, a Death Cult dedicated to hunting witches in the Askellion Sector. They are known to have Pariah among them. The woman does not speak when she lands. She puts a finger to her lips and gives a series of hand gestures. Linguistics Low Gothic -10: Follow me, move quietly, but quickly. |
