The Autolibrarium HIMS Saint Casimir The Warp Camilla was lead to the autolibrarium by two guardsmen. As with most of the Fornosans she had met so far, they were talkative, pleasant sorts- but they kept her under close guard every step of the way, and all she saw were more dark and quiet corridors....

HIMS Saint Casimir The Warp Secondshift was a "night" shift on the passenger deck. The lights ran at half strength, when they ran at all. The handful of civilian passengers, barely sated by their short dinner of corpse starch and military rations, tried to find what sleep they could. The recycled a...

HIMS Saint Casimir Deep Space Subsector Balchia Calixis Sector Once the small crowd of civilians has dispersed somewhat to their respective bunks and accommodations, the subaltern saunters over to the lanky Metallican.

The Manor of the Winds Bevrian Station Subsector Balchia Calixis Sector Inquisitor Falkenberg stands silently for a moment; as if in thought. When she speaks, it is quietly- you are all forced to lean in slightly to hear her words. "Authority and responsibility I hold in my hand. What is a responsi...

Nice job so far everyone; I shall update the main thrust of the plot at 2:00 pm EST. My system is pretty basic; I'll post a major response once either everyone has weighed in, or once 24 hours have passed from the last major post.

The Manor of the Winds Bevrian Station Subsector Balchia Calixis Sector Inquisitor Falkenberg's face contorted slightly.

Certainly. You won't have time on Bevrian for shopping, though! We'll just retcon it into your possessions.

Sigh, sorry about the delay- just as I was hitting the "submit" button, my wireless cut out. I have since then had to run all over looking for a fucking signal; finally I am in luck. The game has begun!

Jarsus Vrax and Trask; may your service to the Emperor cleanse your souls of all sins! Welcome to the personal confidences of the Lady Falkenberg.

On that note, all the players are ready. The game begins as soon as I post the main thread in the other forum. I wish you all good luck!

I get to do it; in part because I have a few custom perils associated with the setting.

That's up to Thridfain. The failure modes in this game are not the kind you can avoid with high dice rolls; you will have to make up for your natural disabilities with grit, cleverness, and a capacity for flexibility and teamwork. No rerolls for you beyond your one! Otherwise, why bother rolling at...

OK, especially considering the nature of your character, getting dragged along by more "social" members of the party is almost to be expected. So that shouldn't present much of a problem.

Thank you for being timely with that information!
