No idea what that is but sure

After carefull consideration you decide to go with the Servo skull and the Auspex scanner.
The lord fabricator had this special issue servo skull and auspex made years ago for tracking down lifeforms in places where normal auspexs can, and the servo skull works as an amplifier, and makes it so that you can detect life forms even through solid ceremite.

After a few hours you and your crew are on the ship in orbit. You go towards the main console on the bridge and bles the machien spirit before opeing up the data banks. The computer shows 3 unexplored planets that had only been passed by a probe, right outside this sector
They are the following

Ok guys this is how Warp travel is going to work. I will let 3 people roll 1d100 each and if one of them gets over 90 the gellar fields fail or you leave the warp to early/too soon. Warp storms or damage to the warp core will result in a lower number, e.g if a system has mild warp storm then I will for example lower it by 15 so 90 becomes 75 etc

You order the navigator to find a safe route to Zim-Kepple IV. After tense few minutes he finds an opening in the warp and the ship is ready to jump

>Good luck on your rolls

Not bad, that's a good sign

If we do fail these rolls will it just be damage or will we be thrown off course to somewhere else or somewhen else?

Good news everyone! We're not going to die most horribly in an unspeakable manner as demons claw at our skin, render flesh from bone and rape our mind and feast on our most immoral mortalish soul as we literally pass through hell as a shortcut to our first humble mission of exploration! Praise be to the God Emperor for he truly watches over us all!

The ship passes through the warp with ease, and from the bridge of the ship you see a green and blue planet. You read the data from the probe that passed by this system many millenias ago. and there seems to be no dangers as far as this information goes.
But what will you do now

Not really picky on the team, other than the skull thing of course.

You decide to go down to the planet but no by yourself, you decide to bring Lexus and 2 groups of 10 Skitarii each.
After a flight down from the ship and into a low altitude you can see that the planet has very long dark green bamboo-ish plants along with bigger trees dotted around.

The pilot finds a small clearing and lands. You and your party steps out from the shuttle. The Skitarii are setting up a simple defencive line around the shuttle door/ramp, Lexus looks a big nervous with his laspistol held high.

What do you do?

190 skiitari sounds like a bit much, but whatever.

>>43334810
>>Split the party up to 2 groups (You & 10 skitarii, and Lexus and the rest of the skitarii)
And tell Lexus to keep it together

>Split the party up to 2 groups (You & 10 skitarii, and Lexus and the rest of the skitarii)

You got this Lexus, just make sure that we always have access to the ship, we might need to bug out quickly here

You decide to let Lexus take 10 of the 20 skitarii that went onto this team.
You tell him to go north while you go south. You also tell in binary to a Skitarii in order to keep Lexus from doing something stupid

After a few ours of walking in the dense bamboo forest your scanners picks up a faint energy signature up ahead.

What do you do?
>Walk towards the energy singature
>Send a couple of skitarii to investigate
>Walk back and/or around it
>Something else (write in)

>>43335054
>>Send a couple of skitarii to investigate

>>43335054

Stalk and track, see if we can see it before it sees us

You and your party choose to go around the energy signature. And as you walk around the signature doesn't change it is in the same place.

You walk towards it with your Skitarii behind you, and next to a tree inside this dense forest lies an old, overgrown and battered Adeptus Astarties power armour.
How did it end up here?
What chapter does it belong to?

You walk up and kneel beside the suit of armour, you manage to connect with the suits machien spirit, or atleast what is left of it. After a bit of praising to the spirit you manage to get a hold of the lens recoring software and the last minutes of this marines life.

++BOOTING UP++

++BLUE FIGHTERS++

"Contact up ahead! In the Emperors name, purge the Xenos!"
*sounds of bolters and grenades* A beam of green lighting hits the marine next to Jervus and disinigrates him

"You will pay for this Xenos scum"
The marine is blown away by a blast, tearing his legs of and the suit reads that many internal organs are either gone or damaged
The last thing he sees before he dies is many green eyes and siluetts in the dark forests, along with (pic realted) up front

What do you do?

Tomb worlds are no laughing matter. To even attempt to explore one requires certain contingencies that I'm not sure we have at the moment, like high explosives and teleportation beacons. We may have to put the planet on a watchlist at the moment.

>>43335986
and? fucking Necrons man, those are baaaaaaaaaaaaad news. literally the leading cause of Explorator deaths.

>>43335986
Well we'll need to scan the planet, on the surface and bellow, to make sure. Maybe the oceans too, if it has any.

Could be worse. We could've landed on a planet where everything is on a cob.

>>43335927

So Anons, what will your answer be

>>43336373
I think it's:
Take the armor.
Return to the ship with varying amount of haste.
Scan and double scan the planet before taking any risks whatsoever.

>>43336412
fine, rolling with this, does anyone object to this?

>>43336491
Just add contact the other team and tell them to get to da choppa

>>43336491
No, sounds good.

You order the Skitarii to pick up the power armour and leg it towards the shuttle. While you run you vox the other skitarii. They report that they have encountred hostile forces. You order them to fall back to the shuttle.

You cna see a grey sillute before you. You raise your gun and fire at it

Your fire your gun, and it hits the grey "thing" in the chest so that it falls over into the forest.

After what feels like forever you reach the shuttle with all of the Skitarii and yourself in one piece. But the other team isn't here yet.

What do you do?!

>>43336848
Stow the armour and then start flying the shuttle towards the other team, be prepared to make a landing site for speedy extraction.

You order the Skitarii to load the power armour into the shuttle and then make a basic defencive line around you and the shuttle.
And it doesn't take long before a skitarii is vaporized infront of you.
In the forest right ahead of you you can see 5 green humanoid silluets

Your skitarii starts to open fire and of the 5 silluets there are only 2 left

>>43337156
It would be nice to recover some of those sweet necrodermis bodies, but they have the bad habit of disappearing when they're too damaged to get back up, so that usually isn't an option.

Any-who, we still have a bit of a mystery. Like if there are necrons on this world, why is there still vegetation?

>>43337217
>if there are necrons on this world, why is there still vegetation
Pretty sure crons only care about stuff with souls

>>43337217
I dunno, it does not make sense for necrons to be out and about if there is still life on that planet.

>>43337262

Nah, it's the tyranids that strip a planet of all lifeforms via eating. Necrons just kill anything with a soul

>>43337252
Some of them take genocide to the illogical extreme though, like going as far as to wipe out bacteria. Particularly some of the first tomb worlds to awaken.

After you managed to shoot the last two silluets you hear on your vox that the other squad is almost at the clearing. But they had casulties, 5 of the 10 skitarii that followed Lexus is dead. Lexus himself is fine if not just a bit shaken up.

All of you board the shuttle and haul ass off world.

You mark it as a hostile planet and order the astropath on the ship to send an urgent message to the nearby forgeworld and warn them against these xenos.

Can servitors feel love?


But on a serious note; is there things a techpreist shouldn't do when he is out exploring? I only know a modorate amout of Admech lore

>>43337694
>Can servitors feel love?
I like to believe that they are indeed more human that most people believe and that strong emotional bonds can even break their internal protocols and make them act irrationally.

In my opinion they can feel love yes, but not as strongly and complexly as they could when they were fully human. Their love might make them work harder when they are in presence of their beloved ones or even get in front of incoming fire to protect the people they love, even if that means their destruction.

Think of the love they can feel as the something similar that a Dog can feel for its owner.

>is there things a techpreist shouldn't do when he is out exploring?
They might have more leeway with most things but Humans are delicate on the 40kverse. There are lines that nobody should cross.

Their status as Explorator crew doesn't makes them immune to being corrupted, be it by aliens, heresy or daemons.

Servo, don't forget to archive the thread. Do you know how to do it?

Of course they feel love! Strong love! And YES they work harder when they are in the presence of their beloved. Because they love their Emperor! They love their duty! They work harder because they have been given such a fantastic opportunity to toil for the Emperor! The reward for service to the Emperor is, of course, more service!
