"You have any idea what is in here?" You ask the Man of Iron

" From what information I have absorbed, and what I have learned from the General, This is a manufactorum of the implants that they use, or at least the baseline ones. There is also one small warp craft in here, but I am unsure of the location." It says to you.

"I feel we should look around a bit before my first mate gets here." You say.

" Is that the 'old man' we spoke with? They would make a fine officer." It says activating a small lift for some stairs.

"No. That would be Jerah. Speaking of." You activate the comms device.

"Jera head to the mountain, I picked up a new friend, they are going to be joining us." You say

"Well I hope it's more than just another fighter, because the fierce needs another engineer. Little Nasi got sick and honestly we can have you be doing the engineering all the time." Jerah says and UR-749-k's emotive feature on the helmet, actually works! It displays a sign of, what looks to be either confusion, snark, or disbelief.

" I am a capable engineer, though my body has been badly damaged so I have to use a specialized armor to maintain me. I am Pygmallius Technius Arturius" It says.

"And I thought Kolinasi's name was a mouthful! Well, welcome to the crew of the Something Fierce! We'll be happy to have you aboard once I get there." Jerah says.

"Something Fierce?" UR asks.

"You are supposed to name a ship like that something fierce." You say. And UR begins to laugh and his emotive is of actual amusement.

"I see that the old ways of ship naming are still alive. I was afraid I would awake to a world where every ship was named something overly dramatic like 'reasons litnay' or 'vengeful fury' or 'truth's razor'. What a boring galaxy that would be. My favorite flagship name was 'It's one of ours' that one was a classic. UR says and you chuckle.

"I wouldn't name a ship too seriously. I don't know what Jerah is gonna name his personal ship though." You say as the pair of you get to the top of the lift and find a catwalk that leads to a set of panels and controls, near an actual honest to goodness readout monitor, one of the first you seen in a long time.

"Your next ship, if it's bigger, name it something even more fierce. If it's smaller, tiny but fierce. If it's a weird test bed or unique, something different. It's important for a fleet of ships to stick to the pattern. It's also something that will annoy most void admirals. Hmm. This readout. I see. This is the STC for various implants, though, it looks like the data here is different then the result. This STC has been twisted somehow. Also there is the ship mentioned." UR points with one of it's other hands as it uses the rest to go over the 'STC' rapidly.

'The Ship' is bigger than a fighter, and around the size of your sub, but it looks weird. It has all sorts of strange weapons on it and it looks like it is not meant to carry much.

"I haven't seen many ships, but that one looks a bit different." You say.

"Something different it is. What have you not seen a Pocket Corvette before? That one is human, older one. Looks like it needs repairs. Small warp craft are incredibly hard to find, ones like that even more so. Micro Gellar fields and Micro Warp Drives were one of the crowning achievements of the ages past. Space travel accessible at warp speeds to anyone. Granted, the micro drives were often finicky and troublesome, but that's the price of innovation." UR Says as you approach it, and you begin singing, albeit a bit quietly, of the song you are making for your brother.

"Wait. What are you doing? Stop that!" UR says and you stop singing, it then looks directly at you, and it's emotive interface is indicating confusion.

"What was that?"

"I was singing, surely men of iron have heard that before?" You say.

"No, that is not singing, when humans sing it is grating, and an assault on auditory sensors. That was incredibly pleasant and haunting, and it stimulated the machine spirits, in fact they were working as if they were overclocked, but not harming them. It helped them work. Which is really good considering how these machines are worked. If you could continue it would be helpful for me to understand this STC a bit better." UR states

"I will, but we need to move quick, and I may try to capture this ship." You say

"Captain, it will take us about 5 minutes for us to be there, but we still need to make a supply run and will probably need medicines for some of the crew."

"Is the revolution looking good though?"

"So far. Angron was able to get through to the child soldiers, but Frank, Deliah, Your Uncle and Cousin, and your shoal stoat have been having quite the fight behind that wall." Jerah responds.

"What of lancer?" You ask

"He honestly could just break the wall and charge on in, but there seem to be some gun turrets that were not harmed by the lightning." Jerah says


"It will take but a few more moments for me to finish here.

What do you do now? You only have time for one.

Also I like UR already, joke and pun names are essentual for morale. Still think we should name at least one of our ships The Temerity when we meet our sons, if only to get Arnoyl to open up.

Same here

"Jera, instruct lancer to assist the fight." You say

"Tell him yourself Cap he is on the comms wide band." Jera responds.

"I'm on it." Lancer responds. As you look about you.

"I am going to do a bit more exploring around here friend." You say

"I am fine with that, if you think you are fast enough. So long as you keep these ones pleased with your singing I will be done here. And I will assist with other matters." UR says and you hum the pieces to your song for angron,

"Come out ya cowards and face me like a man, you think your safe now because you turned an ran" You hum as you look around at the various machinery near the catwalk you stand upon. Most of it, you can feel the pain of the machines.

Generations of misuse, and neglect.

"Oh brother dearest brother, whom I've never met, What adventures await us I know not yet."

You scale down the ladder to what is a giant machine rusting away and you spy an ancient power source that is all but glowing, and you already know it's probably radioactive.

" When I meet you brother I can guarantee, I will show you new worlds and my family." You say a little louder as you begin to study the machine closer and find, to your surprise, a data jack that matches with your tablet.

You study the machine for a few minutes and go over the data inside.

The machine, is not like the rest of the manufactorum, It's a large scale data bank, and it goes over most of the information. It seems like this is the primary databank for the planet.

"Umm, Pygmallius? I have found yet another object of interest." You let out loudly.

"Oh? What on earth could it be? As the generals didn't really know too much about the true purpose of here, only some sorry fat man who smell weird was in charge of it. To think, these fools thought that great warriors didn't need to also be intellectuals."

"From what my data slate is telling me, this is the planets primary databank."

"A data bank of that size for a planet like this? Quite odd. Then the level of technical advancement is incredibly niche and focused. To be fair, it looks like most of it was bartered. That was something I was afraid of." UR says

"What do you mean?" You ask.

>>4942350

"The decline of those whose origin was terran and the sol system. Think about it. Look at that ship there. With the technology here, that could solve much of the planets problems, just a little bit of minor adjustments. Yet here this planet is. Half the population lives in squalor, there are many more gladiators then scholars and scientists. May more pikeman than your armored lancer. And I haven't seen a single Automata." UR states and casually hops down to the ground floor.

"Do you feel that this planet can be salvaged." You ask

"Well, maybe. I sense many different challenges to it, but it is by no means impossible. Now this, you are perfectly correct. That is a very unusual database."

"Captain we are a minute out, is there anything you plan to bring aboard besides the your new friend?" Jera asks as you look at a little button that says hangar bay open and press it, causing what looks like part of the mountain to then shake.

You can pick one.

OR

The data bank can be acessed by us and the people of Nuceria through the mountain and the tunnels.
The ship on the other hand is only of use when flying around.

>>4942370
Also, was the fat man the one if the slaves? He said his family was the one dealing with implants, and this is the implant manufactury.
Can we check to see if there are any explosives or programs tied to a deadman switch on the databank before leaving? I don't trust the High Riders to not throw a tantrum when losing and destroy all this knowledge and technology.

"Jera, there is a huge databank. We may need some help loading it." You say.

"You saying those words, worries me. I seen you load a whole cannon cap." Jera says.

"Well, it isn't amount me loading it on with how strong I am or how equipped our new friend is. It's more about it being significantly taller than me and I am unable to see behind it. I would take the ship, but I feel that a unique space craft should be reserved for Angron and this planet. I haven't seen another, so it's important they have their own ship." You say.

[ "That is an interesting choice."

"I am not going to let a people yearning to be free lose their one shot at the stars." You say and URs emotive changes a bit, it looks, pleased.

"Captain, that's great an all, but we are going to be pushing for time here. In a big way. Anything you got that can help us I suggest you get it. Those ships on the edge of the system may have gotten a signal. They seem to be moving, and I cannot for the life of me tell were." Jera says. Damn it. The big issue would be the other ships and if they came to hunt, you could beat them in an unfair fight where you have the advantage, but if they were to seek you out- it would be over. You sigh.

"Frank how we looking?" You ask over the radio.

"Oh we should be fine here in a second the big ass knight lancer is mopping up the big monstrosities however we are still doing our business over here of dealing with things that can cause signals weapons that they have. Did you know they have Rak Gol?" Frank says in a tone implying a good deal of stress.

"Ya. They are nasty aint they."

"Just a little bit. Also they had it with nails and a collar. You have no idea how good with a rifle I am do you?" Frank asks

"Well if you can shoot one of those things, I imagine ya the best I know." At least that you know. You have been meaning to practice the rifle more. Mostly you work with your axe weapon and other more melee focused weapons.

"That, means a lot Kolinasi thank you." Frank says less stressed as you hear a shot. The doors of the mountain, a strange thing you never really considered, open up and reveal Rongo and Jera

"Well Jera I didn't expect you to come off the deck." You say

"Captain, I would be a sorry first mate and Quartermaster if I didn't help. Yikes! You gonna lift that?" Jera asks as you step over and lift the thing up. It is, without a doubt, the singular heaviest thing you have ever carried in your life.

"Pygmallius a bit o help mate?" You say

" Of course. UR says and assists you in lifting the heavy database. It doesn't take log to get it on to the ship.

"This is a very nice ship." UR states.

OK. So before we get back to story, I am just going to go over some background things that are going to be relevant and important background.

1. We have just gotten past page 250 in pages on my huge word document- and we are at a point story wise that would normally not be until the 750 page mark. So we are moving at quite the pace. This will be reflected in an upcoming chapter, but it won't be for a little while.

2. If you have noticed, and I assume many have- De'lormosa has a lot of technology, and we have encountered a lot of really advanced archeotech. This is partially due to the route taken, and the fact Hershk and De'lormosa were almost tied and I came with a compromise. As a result, you have a lot of the tech, and you are going to be dealing with some of the Hershk baddies - eventually.

3. Between Chapters 7 and 8 there will likely be a small break and gap, this will be for my 3 weeks of vacation which I will sorely need averaging about 69 hours a week with a 7 day work week.

4. Malal has brought up a holiday event, I am all for that, he and I would have to find a means to communicate, and a way to do the thread and plan some writing for it. So know that I want it- and if possible I will try to make it happen. This brings me to my last point.

5. My new job processing is going faster than I thought it might. I don't have a start date yet, but that is just the nature of the type of career path I have chosen, this process normally is glacially paced, but now- it is not. Things are going faster and I may start sooner than I thought. This is going to be very good for this because it will actually mean that my schedule will be more normalized and I will have better time posting. This is, if everything continues to go well, which I hope it does.

>>4945722
We are speedrunning the story, now we just need to BLJ to the Eye of Terror and kill Chaos.
In all seriously, yeah, I feel like after we return from Olynpia we need to do a lot of reestructuring and investigating De'Lormosa that we skipped over by getting distracted by shiny things, before it comes back and bite us on our ass because of it.
Mittens reminds me that I need to do Boots and Erihapet sometime, and that reminds me to rewrite the deldar kabal.

>>4945722
Thanks for notifying us Old Man

"That is some, pretty sweet armor you got there mate." Jera says to UR

"Thank you. It's really useful." As you go to the deck, you notice that UR is carefully studying the entirety of the deck and ships layout. As you get up to the bridge you see UR scrabble over, and most of the crew looks at this oddly.

"Bring us to the action, we need to be close for this. Can you bring up the scanner to see what the ships are doing?" You ask.

"Aye Cap." Jera says and the display shows the ships, coming to a formation at the edge of the system, like they are scrambling. They seem to be facing towards Nuceria, however there are other planets nearby. This could be tricky. You look at Jera

"How much do we need in the way of supplies?" You ask.

"Unchanged. We would need a good deal for food and fresh water because I know for a fact you do not want to dig into the canned rations before going to an unknown like Olypmia." Jera says. He's right. You snort a little air out angrily. If these ships come in, you are sunk.

"Can they detect us?" You ask and your astropath looks over and shakes her head.

"Our electronic set is better than theirs. I can sort of detect their astropaths, they seem to be a bit confused." She says.

"What would be the best course of action that you would recommend?" You ask, as this is a troubling scenario.

"We can either face them or honestly if we stay in atmosphere until we know what they are doing for sure." She says.

"Frank, we are going to probably park the ship in the docks. How are things down there?" You ask.

"Oh, you know. Rich people with monsters." Frank says and you hear gunfire.

"Your cousin is very skilled by the way. She would make one hell of an operator." Frank says.

"If you are flirting with my daughter Frank, just know that will be ten goats, unless she is insulted." Your uncle Kai says.

"I am insulted. I am a hell of an operator thank you." Arona says and you hear a very loud explosion over the radio.

"Then that is twenty goats frank. We only want dairy. We will also accept 15 big pedigree pigs." Your Uncle Kai says.

"Kolinasi, your the captain, tell your uncle I don't have goats." Frank says

"Well then you better find 15 big pedigree pigs frank you know how Moka works." You say.

"Well that shouldn't be too hard. However, we have a slightly bigger problem." Frank says as you manuver the ship as low as you can to keep it off interstellar scans.

"Oh?" You say, knowing frank is not easily scared.

"This area is clear, but there is definitely a secondary bunker somewhere. And some of this information I keep finding, It looks bad. There is something else going on here." Frank says.

"Send me the information. Anyone got eyes on Angron?" You ask.

"I do. And the gate is open. They are walking through." Lancer states

"Good keep on him. Meera have you found anything else?" You ask,

"Aye. There is more than I can go over on the radio. I got a whole trove of data." Meera says.

You get near the front, and now it's time to make some more serious decisions.

__

First your action. Pick one


>> Join up with Angron.
>> Land ahead, near Frank, help them clean up.
>> Park the ship up ahead and use it as a shield, send a clear message to these high riders.
>> Write in

Second pick your orders: Pick two

>> "Meera, get up to the ship. Off load your info."

>> "Gela, do some scouting around, see if you can keep eyes on what the ships may do and keep ready in case you need to do things."

>> "Deliah, Yana- meet up with me"

>> "Jera go scouting for resources, get us some fresh food and fresh water." (if you chose option three above this is not available.)

>> "Pygmallius, find yourself something helpful to do on the ship."

>> "Frank, start heading towards the ship, we got clean up."

>> Write in

>> Park the ship up ahead and use it as a shield, send a clear message to these high riders.

>> "Meera, get up to the ship. Off load your info."
>> "Gela, do some scouting around, see if you can keep eyes on what the ships may do and keep ready in case you need to do things."

>>4946132
>> Drop down briefly so you can join Frank, then send Jera ahead to land as a warning.
>> "Meera, get up to the ship. Off load your info."
>> "Deliah, Yana-stay with Angron and Cincinnatus. Back them up."

>>4946132
>> Land ahead, near Frank, help them clean up.
>> "Meera, get up to the ship. Off load your info."
>> "Gela, do some scouting around, see if you can keep eyes on what the ships may do and keep ready in case you need to do things."
Should cover all of our bases, going after the other bunker, this time probably for the actual High Riders instead of a military junta, making sure that any data Meera has is safe, and keeping an eye on the weird movement, just in case the Ganth are also fleeing like they did in De'Lormosa

>>4946515
Y'know what would be fucking amazing?
> Discovering Alpharius and Omegon before Emps or Horus.

At this point, Kolinasi will the saint of pathfinders, explorers and finders of lost treasures/kin, patron of Rogue Traders.

Do you remember when the MC’s name was spelled Kolinaisi Kaiko Whaitiri? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

>>4946615
KKW joined the SS and had to change his name.

>>4946615
It's more of an arabic style nomenclature where you can swap A and E in how it is pronounced after I digged deeper into the naming styles. Basically it would sound the same- but it would be spelled differently.

BUT

We can go back if you want my dude. And honestly I feel bad about it. Thanks for calling me out.

>>4946609
I go by the official Alpharius fluff. Emperor has already found 'Alpharius' but nobody has yet found Omegon. IF you guys continue down this path, I mean, it isn't impossible to find the other twin It is however, incredibly unlikely. But if you have been following along the Ganth Migration boundaries and read Alpharius it is doable. Highly unlikely. That being said the chances of getting to Angron BEFORE nails, were at a whopping .78125% or better as 1/128 odds to do, however you guys got the crazier variant of that one which was at a much more hilarious 1/256. None of this would have been possible without certain write ins, certain decisions made including one in the first chapter. I find it highly amusing.

>>4946649
Interesting

>>4946649
Good to know that SHENANIGANS pay off!

Unless we get another vote I am going to have to a compromise write in choice for one later tonight.

>>4946891

Seems so, only 3 anons so far.

>>4946132
>> Land ahead, near Frank, help them clean up.
>> "Meera, get up to the ship. Off load your info."
>> "Gela, do some scouting around, see if you can keep eyes on what the ships may do and keep ready in case you need to do things."

>>4947020
Not really. The compromise isn't that hard to write. I account for this stuff.

"Gela scout ahead! See what we are up against and do some light scanning and scout work, see what those ships are up to while we are down here. If anything looks off inform me as quick as you can. Meera, get ready to bring up all them books and info you found."

"Aye!" They both say simultaneously.

You begin to steer the ship and you think you have an incredibly good spot to land it to help out Frank, Your Uncle, Arona, Deliah, and your beloved shoal stoat.

You use the fierce as a bit of a shield, which is fairly massive considering the area while giving them some cover. As you begin to do the landing procedures you look to Jera

"When we are done here we will likely have to move on for supplies fast. If you can do some planet scans for a good supply run, it will make this a lot easier." You tell Jera

"UR... Pygmallius! You are with me, you are probably are best clue to dealing with some of the electric based issues on this planet, and why the other ships are mustering." You quickly cover your tracks and UR nods. You and him quickly get to the offloading area where you dive head first into the combat that Frank has been seeing.

Which is unsurprisingly, mutants and xenos. They seem to be swarming from small structures that raise up around a gate, however the something fierce has blocked off one route, which has funneled them all to the waiting lancer, who is probably having a much easier go.

You take a quick scan and see the biggest issue, which is the Rak Gol, or whatever it is called trying to scale the small building that is Frank's sniper nest. So you rush up and swipe it away with your axe.

"THANKS. I HAVE WORSE THINGS TO SHOOT AT, YOU HANDLE THAT." Frank says very loudly, which is barely able to get over the strange vocalizations of the Rak Gol. This one, is different. It's black and it's implants are, a bit more advanced. There are many weapons on it, and it looks like there is some sort of menacing fluid coming off what look like chain swords. It's mouth opens disgustingly wide to reveal its sharp teeth as it comes at you.

It's faster than the Drukhari.

It slashes at you with animistic instinct and killing hateful intent that gleams some level of intellect as you block a few of it's attacks, as it's body is in a constant motion. You kick it back and press back it's attack, which is a bit of work. The being moves angrily at you. You aren't able to get a solid hit, with its many cybernetic limbs made out of strong material, and it's movement being incredibly erratic to shoot at.

You wanted to learn more about combat, you just didn't imagine it would smell so terrible. The being smelled like rotting Durian and Death.

It's attacks, being constantly parried and knocked back have effectively flustered it, to the point you have discovered one of it's other implants as it's strange eye feature fires a laser beam missing you, but doing damage to Frank's sniper nest.

Another implant fires a baleful beam of green light at you, utterly destroying the a small wood pile next to the guard shack.

It has a disintegration weapon too. Fantastic.

Plan of attack?

>> Draw it in close. try to cut off more of it's limbs and those fancy implants. You have never seen a laser eye before.

>> Range it. Just draw it away from the structure, where it's reckless shooting can damage the other mutants and xenos that are fighting.

>> Out speed it. Lightning quick attacks, maybe even decapitation would be appropriate or just ramming it.

>> Overpower it. Use your strength to remove it's advantage, maybe even weaken it down.

>> Out smart it. Draw it away a bit so Jera can gun it down for you or UR can assist you in dealing with it.

>> Write in.

There is going to be a lot of fighting at this little part, but if you are familiar with 40k lore, something is going to be really interesting soon that you may want to pay attention to.

>> Range it. Just draw it away from the structure, where it's reckless shooting can damage the other mutants and xenos that are fighting.
Rakgol? Shit

>>4947065
>> Out smart it. Draw it away a bit so Jera can gun it down for you or UR can assist you in dealing with it.
If it's away, them we can use the melta grenades.
We been saving them for too long, the only time we used them was giving some to Meera while we scales the anouncer booth, and even them no-one used them, or atleast not that we saw.
I want to see the earth shattering, fiery BOOM.

And for a bonus because I have the time, and I keep meaning to put this portion in, but never find the time.

"Legion Master De'Saan! I bring good tidings and intelligence that is of great import!" Wing Commander Takahara, whom was one of the many Terra Watt clan members who had become members of the legion was as always terse, but polite.

"Wing Commander, the intelligence first."

"We have found a clear way towards Ultima Segmentum, one that our scouts could probably get in and pave a way for us. It is a risky path though, and it would require us to deploy certain elements oddly. Frankly it's better if I show you." He says and raises a galactic display disc and shows, the highly unorthodox route.

"That, would provide a very valuable staging area for us. We still have much to do here first brother." You say and he nods.

"This leads me to the good tidings! The Emperor has found his seventh primarch!" Takahara says and you are taken a bit back. You remember when Horus was discovered! There was a brief time period when you thought there would be no discoveries besides Horus Lupercal, and maybe that Leman Russ. Then the third primarch found was the leader of the second. And So far they have pushed hard and, while with questionable techniques and attitudes, the Golden Eyed giant had proven himself to your legions and others. Then Came Ferrus and Fulgrim, and then the outgoing Vulkan of the Salamanders. Now, the seventh primarch.

"Which legion does this primarch call his? I dare say it's not ours as while we tend to operate independently we do not operate that outside the sphere." You say.

"Oddly enough Rogal Dorn is the Primarch of the Seventh Legion. So the Seventh Son was the Seventh found." Takahara says.

"If only the Second were found second instead of leman russ, this would be a lot easier." You say and he laughs.

"I hope we find ours soon. Can you guess what they'll be like? With our legion I imagine that he would be at least be brave and good grasp of tactics." Takahara says.

"I honestly would like that too. So, this path, to Ultima, you think we could send some scouts ahead like how the Star Hunters do and we could potentially make for a good route in. It looks a bit dubious, yet, we are the eleventh." You say.

"Legion Master it is your call."

Pick one


>> Send a small detachment, nothing that would weaken your crusading strength by too much, maybe a company to clear the way until your legion arrives.

>> Send a squad first, then have them report back with what they find, then send an appropriate group in.

>>Ask for only volunteers, those that sign up can go. Have a detachment from those volunteers report back after they find a good foothold

Actually, I'm changing my vote to mix the outsmart and range it.

And your other vote? For Kolinasi's actions?

So how many nifty powers has Special K shown now?
> Electroreception
> Electrokinesis
> Generating electromagnetic fields
> Some kind of Navigation sense (terrestrial, stellar and warp)

This doesn't even take into account his keen mental acuity, affinity with machines or weird Primarch biology.

>>4947629
>Running fast as fuck.
>being good at swimming, fighting perfectly underwater
And don't forget
>Technopathy

>> Send a small detachment, nothing that would weaken your crusading strength by too much, maybe a company to clear the way until your legion arrives.

>>4947638
Speed actually isnt a power technically he is just one of the fastest primarchs. You gotta look at space marine and primarch biology. Kolinasi is within upper range of primarch speeds.

However, the rest are all connected, including the swimming, and there is a funny joke in it too if you realize it.

>>4947668
You understimate the power of SPEED old man.
I just wanted to reference this old meme https://youtu.be/o6Y7aCT9kis

>>4947672
>"The sad part about being faster than light is that your always in the darkness."

So, I don't anyone's asked this silly question yet, but I'll bite; Kolinasi vs. the other Primarchs. Who wins, loses, or stalemates?

>>4947745
Kolinasi wins everything In a surfing competition.
But it depends, do you mean in a straight up duel? Our boy has been way more of a leader and scientist than a grand warrior so far, he probably is a bit above guilliman in power level, since his combat abilities so far have been situational (a underwater fight and sky duel) or mainly cerimonial (probably fought a lot with the other islanders).
Although this trip to Nuceria and Olympia might make him stronger.

>>4947754
His Technopathy really tilts the scales in his favor unless it is a unarmed/unarmored fight

>>4947849
That's is also a bit situational, tgere is only so much you can do to ask your power armour and weapon to work harder and your opponent to work less, specially if they bother to properly mantain it.
I would say that Kolinasi is kinda of a specialist primarch, around average on a normal conflinct, but as you start stacking advantanges, he becomes unstopable.

>>4947754
Maybe once things are more settled and everyone's had a chance to get to know each other, the brothers can have a 1vs1vs1 match to practice and learn and bond.

These are going to be shorter because this segment is a bit different and more combat focused.
__

You decide to pull him away and range him. You move away rapidly and the being is able to keep up with you, but it is moving parallel to you. Your speed is still impressive, but it also moves, but it feels wrong. Something is off with this being. However, it stays on a line with you, firing wildly.

Good.

You fire at it, and you realize that you are not missing, but it has some sort of field, similar to the Knight, that is blocking your energy blasts from going through.

However, it's shooting at you, is laughable. It hits the beasts that are closeby that are attempting to cause damage to the nearby structures. It get's worse when it hits the beasts as it becomes angry.

It's firing is pathetic even. As you move around to create more distance you are starting to notice something.

You can anticipate it's movement through the electrical fields created by it's gear. You haven't really paid attention to it- but with all the implants on it, you are able to sense where it moves and move accordingly, before it does.

Which is good, because the freakish monster is able to move fast. Not as fast as you, but it is dangerous and it's movements are erratic, even though you know where it is moving.

So you mirror it's movements and try to phase it or freak it out, and while it is having even more trouble as you dance around it like Sword Sharks hunting, it still seems undeterred.

You hop past a rock and pick it up to test a theory, and throw the rock at the beast, and it hits.

The rock actually hits the beast, granted you threw it hard and fast, but it got through the shield. So you look for a kinetic pistol.

There are a few on the ground, and you are able to pick one up while still laying down suppressive fire.

You then fire with the kinetic pistol, and the projectile is deflected off.

So the factor is speed to it's shield. Unless you are up close within the barrier of the shield and fire, or you throw a grenade, you are going to do zero damage to this beast.

>> Get up closer to fire your weapon

Make sure it won't hurt UR. Then we can fire the axe, if the shield gets popped of course. No reason to drag this out or take undo risks.

Kolinasi is still developing, and he only has had his villages fighting training, which is really just kind of like Muay Thai with some weapons training for axes and he 'plinks' with various rifles. Sure he has naturally primarch combat skills, but he hasn't been focused on that. Yet.

How he fairs in combat as a primarch and his style in fighting is up to all of you.

>>4948048
>> Lob an EMP grenade
Grenade spam solves everything.

>>4948061
UR won't be hurt, Komxwvm
linasi is very aware.

>>4948209
Now that was a strange typo. Kolinasi is pretty good at, and understanding electricty. If you were to specify, which you could, you could control the EMP detention from the grenade to just the the area in and around the Rak Gol. It may have unintended consequences for the Rak Gols sweet gear though.

>>4948219
Unless tge EMP would hit am ally, than it's not nescessary.
Because I hunger for loot.

>> Lob an EMP grenade

Found this cool video

>>4948274
This video has a strong vibe chad, just like the one of a dude punching a tree down.

Going to take a while for Angron to fully unite his world and also uplift it sufficiently. Maybe Kolinasi will lend aid where he can? At first Angron may not like it though.

>>4948274
...
Ok I am writing that in. This is Canon now.

Also, have creepy fight music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlopkkVSKB8

You lob an EMP grenade on to the Rak Gol, and upon contact it goes off, causing various attachments to fall off the Rak Gol. There is briefest silence then a loud yet very grating roar coming from beyond the nearby final wall.

Then you realize something. It stops what it is doing, then stretches and tests it's weapons that were meant for stabbing and slashing.

It then starts making popping noises with it's bones then it pauses to crack it's hands and neck.

Then it makes a strange sound that can only be described as manic chittering.

It is right in front of you faster than you can draw on it.

Apparently the electronics had some limiting or control on it.

You block and parry, but it is able to easily keep up with you attacking at full speed. It looks like it is able to do so with difficulty, but it seems to be matching you.

Fortunately, it isn't as strong as you are able to push it back and knock it back.

Its cuts are vicious, and they graze you. Which is still going to leave nasty scares. Hopefully, whatever venom or poison isn't fatal, but from the look it could just be chain fluid.

This thing, became deadlier and angrier after you freed it, however at least it is eschewing the guns and is only trying to tear you limb from limb. You hear the loud grating roar again, coming from elsewhere behind the wall.

As it attacks you, you manage to cut off an arm, which doesn't bother it.

It does give you enough space to disintegrate it though.

"Great work! We are rallying from here, but there is one big nasty you have to work on yet." You hear Frank say.
__

>>4948314

"What could be worse than that?" You ask as you hear more of the loud and grating roaring.

"Well, that would be The bigger one naturally. Your friend in the advanced armor has one of those huge Orks tied up. Then there is whatever is left that is still in holding that is making all of that roaring noise." Frank says.

"Where did the Ganth get all these?" You ask stunned as you see the being that is a good 4 meters tall with two huge wicked chain weapons for arms, and two tinier arms holding what look like flamer weapons, and all the cybernetics of the last one.

"They have a far out trade region, where they supposedly get a lot of chattel, and I guess this may be it." Frank says.

It sees you and it licks it's lips as it barrels towards you in a quick yet almost drunken like motion. Throwing itself at you completely. You can sense this isn't going to be simple fighting, as it seems to be one with it's augments and shows a higher level of skill in it's motion.

>> Hellfire Grenade. Now. There is more important things to do than fight these Monsters.

>> Charge at it. Slice off the head or cleave off as much of it as you can.

>> Have frank lay down some cover fire, or Jera for that matter.

>> Lay down a few suppressive shots at it, force it to react to you, get it on the defensive.

>> Steal the electricity from it's machines, and turn it's own mana against it. This is hard, and seems wrong, but this thing could theoretically kill you.

>> Use your axe in combination with the chainsword off the fallen Rak Gol, try to utilize what you can to give UR time to finish off the Huge Ork.

___

>>4948287
That decision is up to all of you, and it is approaching rapidly.

>>4948317
Forgot to mention two options, as one didn't get pasted.

>> Try to sense electromagnetic fields, let your body react and respond to the attacks naturally.

And yes this is going faster, not just because it's a fight and people are posting, but it's meant to be that way.

Also

I beg of you gentle reader and humble quester, pay attention to some of the things that Kolinasi is able to notice as these next few combats are really formative for him.

>>4948330
and how did

>> WRITE IN

Get taken out again?

Guess I am taking all of Malals bad machine luck for the moment.

>>4948317
>> Hellfire Grenade. Now. There is more important things to do than fight these Monsters.
I want boom.

>>4948332
You can pick multiple for this. But I understand a love of high explosives. It was my favorite part of military service back in the day.

>>4948065
I can envision his evolving style making use of things like spear/taiaha to be aggressive and use a lot of deflections/redirections and swift punishing counters, and like those neato glaives we can have built-in firing mechanisms. A digi-beam, disintegrator, or maybe even Kolinasi's own channeled electricity cast out like lightning.

In the case of his axe though, it seems like a perfectly valid strategy would be use it in concert with a second weapon (like one of those archeo blasters we found, or maybe a power hammer/club) and systematically break down the enemies defenses before going in for the kill with blinding speed while they're trying to recover.

Definitely want to see him spar with Angron and Perturbo. Hell, I'm sure Oenamaus and the other veteran gladiators could be excellent instructors, with years of experience against a wide variety of foes both bestial and intelligent.

>> Try to sense electromagnetic fields, let your body react and respond to the attacks naturally.

>> Hellfire Grenade. Now. There is more important things to do than fight these Monsters.

>>4948317
It's worth remembering that the Rak'gol, for all that they're brutal and monstrous, are not stupid. Lobbing a grenade right into it's face is more likely to see it swat towards our allies. Or, y'know, just light the big angry monster on fire and make the fight even harder.
>> Use one or two of your grenades to throw up a smokescreen of dust. With that distraction and your sixth sense, you can press the advantage while the monster rages.
>> Aim for its leg joints with axe or disintegrator, literally bring it down to your level, and cut the damn fuel lines on those flamers. Destroy its limbs just like you would an especially ornery crustacean...that might also be radioactive.

Smoke screen it, use our electo sense to see it while it cant see us, then cripple it.

Things have just gotten really interesting, especially considering previous discussion.

"People don't give Kolinasi enough credit in a fight. Trying to hit em is like hitting air or a ghost. He's slippery as a kraken, fast as a thunderbolt, and he fights dirty. Then again you didn't really see Kolinasi goin around fightan other primarchs."

Leman Russ, Primarch of the VI Legion 'Space Wolves'

"They say, that when the lightning hit Kolinasi's Pod, it would never hurt Kolinasi. I honestly feel, that maybe there is some truth, as it feels like his sense and understanding of electricity are so potent it prevents him from getting hurt."

'A moment of reflection can change a man forever, yet hesitation can destroy the same man' you feel out the electrical currents around you. You can feel the air around you. You focus your mind as you witness the beast charge at you. You feel it's intent. It's motive. It's murderous glee and killing intent. And you feel it's heartbeat.

You Feel it.

You feel the slight changes in electrical pulses and streams in the mana around you.

In the air.

You can feel UR's many processes computing. You can feel franks tension.

You can Feel Arona taking joy in the hunt.

You feel Erihapti, being an excellent girl and dragging back a foe fighting your uncle.

You feel the elation in the killing strike that Deliah just made.

You feel as your body responds naturally to the professional and extremely accurate slice that would have decapitated you.

WOULD[

Your body barrels around the shoulder of the beast in a fantastical twist as you slice it's two hind legs with your axe were you feel nerves congregating and you slap a hellfire grenade on a very unusual point on the back where the beast will have difficulty getting it off as you slide away into a fighting stance.

You then feel something that you haven't felt in these beasts.

Fear.

Panic.

The beast tries to do a wild tail swipe to get it off, but too late as it catches part of it on fire with the ClF3 in a loud exlosion.

The beast lets out panicked shrieks as it scurries in fear, trying to smother the fire by rolling on the ground, only causing it more harm and spreading it to other parts in it's body.

You feel the fear grow and turn into another new feeling.

Desperation.

It begins to charge at you in a fairly sloppy painful way.

Your body readies itself

Pick your next move

>> Slice the heels of the front legs, causing the beast to be unable to move entirely.

>> Bifurcate the body after a careful sidestep

>> Blast the beast in the chest area with your weapon after a cleaving leap

>> Crack the beasts skull after a feinted strike.

The machine spirit is really having fun lately.

There will be another update later tonight depending on votes.

You also naturally have a write in, if popular enough.

Haha super-napalm went boom, me happy.
>> Crack the beasts skull after a feinted strike.
The ork isn't going to notice a feint while it's desperate, charging and on fire.

This is another rak gol mate, not the ork. Orks dont tend to go in for tiny side arms.

>>4948808
>>4948965
Technically, this guy is a Rak'gol Abomination, who're the equivalent of champions and warleaders among their kind. The other was a Marauder, a standard raider as far as I understand it.

The general rule of thumb is that size and cybernetics/weaponry will tell you who is in charge among the Rak'gol. Shit, even Astartes with centuries of warfare under their belt struggle against Rak'gol packs, especially if they're being led by their own elders (who basically qualify as siege weapons by that point).

>>4948991
I'm curious as well; they're supposed to be a highly advanced civilization that stood as a rival to the Imperium.

I take it that the vote will be around whether to stay in Nuceria and help Angron finish the Rebellion, fight against the coming fleet, get that ship working, going to Olympia to meet Pert and find out who is working with the Ganth there, or going back to De'Lormosa to tie up loose ends like confronting Dr. Thompson/Longorian and meeting the rest of the people of the planet?

>>4950249

You hate suffering. You hate seeing creatures suffer. There is no joy watching anything in this amount of pain, even as cruel as this beast is. It is swinging at you wildly, as the pain it must be in, seems to be causing it to not only lose it's sanity. It's swipes are frantic, and while your body dodges it instinctively, it shouldn't have to.

You make a quick feint so that the beast reveals it's head and you strike it in the skull quickly with your axe bringing the beast to the ground. The beast lets out a death rattle and it's body twitches then stops.

You look at the material, and it would make a fine material for a harness or collar for Erhapti, and the two skulls you see would make fine pauldrons.

But the roaring. It's louder now. Much louder.

You look over to UR who has killed the last ork, and the vox squawks.

"Cap I am takin off, Angron and his boys are right behind you. And you turn to see behind you as the ship rises a decent sized army of common folk, gladiators, some soldiers and many others as Lancer comes to line by the army and Angron walks up next to you to once again trade grips.

"Alright, this is the last estate in the city, when this is taken, the rest of the region will probably fall into line. The rest of the world will likely be on Angron and Cinncinatus though." You hear frank say as you see him scurry out of his tower.

You and Angron walk to the gate together, and as you look at him he nods, as the pair of you open the doors.

Then you see the roaring.

It's a Rak Gol the size of a house with great weapons. In Chains. On the ground a man, probably a high rider, maybe a servant, on the ground drowning in their own blood, as you can see it got too close to the chained beast. It tries to take a swing at you, and it misses as it is just out of range. Lancer comes in.

"Shall I kill it?" Lancer asks.

"You'd be the only thing that could." You say aloud, and then you hear slow applause as a man comes around an upper corner. The being is cloaked in white and grey. His hair is the same dark color as yours, his eyes a bright blue. A laurel crown is on his head.

"Oh what a fight that would be." he says.

"The perfect end to all this, the brave usurpers and their lone knight versus the evil tyrant and his enslaved Elder Rak Gol Behemoth! Not one, but two! TWO! Demigods to witness this event." The man says

"And for you? What do you get?" Angron asks.
===.

>>4950771

"Oh, me? I get to watch. And the blood. It is given freely to my patron! As he doesn't care where the blood comes from, but that it comes. Oh sure, many of his followers are stupid and blood thirsty creatures. As that is the territory! War. Blood. There will always be conflict in this galaxy until total peace is achieved, through the perfection of Martial Conflict! And yet even Gods may die from being so heavily sated! But not for a very long time. Eventually all things must pass, but I can end it all on his terms, my terms. But- his plan, the plan for Angron. Oh it's not going well." He says slowly coming down the stairs with what looks like a giant key. It's odd. The Rak Gol doesn't seem to want to attack him. Also, he doesn't seem afraid of either of you.

"You see, I knew you wouldn't kill Oenomaus. No, you and him were too close. That would be the perfect excuse to put the nails in you. Then you would slay him. Then, after that, well things would go as they were supposed to. Sure you'd rebel a few times, then eventually you'd kill me, I'd die a glorious death, then you would have an incredibly miserable fated existence slowly dying. BUT SOME OFF WORLDER CAME IN AND RUINED THE GRAND GAME. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS! DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE A RAK'GOL IS? YOU CAN BUY A VOID SHIP FOR THE SMALL AMOUNT I PURCHASED." He shouts at you in particular, pointing at you.

"But, you see, I have a chance to fix all this, and end this now. All I have to do, is get you to leave, right now. And I can do that." He says snapping his finger as two guards bring from the shadows Arona, your cousin.

"You see she wandered in too close and we were able to do the same tactic you used with us, and disable her communications as she did it. So basically I feel I have a- " And you see both guards heads turn into a red mist as Arona quickly wheels towards the neck of the man with her knife.

"You think that worked Frank?" She says as it comes through the comms secondary channel

"Oh it worked better than I thought." Frank says.

"Shall I kill him cousin? Or should he be tried with the rest of the scum?" Your cousin asks and you look at Angron.

"It's still your planet, while I got you into this mess rescuing you and trying to liberate it, it is up to you and Cinncinatus. You know were my opinions are." you say to Angron. Angron then looks at this man.

"How do you know all this?" He asks

>>4950773
"I have been gifted to see beyond sight, as all greats of my family have. Our family has shaped our society to offer tribute to the four, in secret, as it can't be too obvious. The gods that are celebrated in the arena, all hidden servants of the four. They told us of your arrival, and our eventual destruction! But they told us of our eventual triumph, but things changed! Two unseen interlopers, and one of them worked their way here, as if they could change the game this time as if history wouldn't repeat itself. Truly it hasn't, yet Angron, have you asked Kolinasi what is in his pack?" The man says and you shrug and turn out your bag. Out comes multiple of the implants, your data pad, some medicine, some grenades and weapons, your notes, treats for Erihapti and various tools. Angron looks at the implants.

"Brother, why do you have those?" He asks of the implants.

"I wanted to see, what makes them work. In case they were put in you, or if they can be fixed. The mana and machine spirit inside them, something is wrong and I feel it needs to be corrected." You say

"LIAR! HE WANTS THEIR POWER FOR HIMSELF!" The man says.

"HA!" Arona lets out

"Whenever Kolinasi fibs his left eye does this stupid twitchy thing." She says.

"What?" The man asks

"No I don't." You say, and your left eyelid and brow do not involuntarily do an odd discomforting twitch at all. Nope. Angron lets out a chuckle because the man looks clearly bested because it is clear he is the terrible liar.

"Well then. Brutus Pompey Crassius, because who else could it be, you shall face the same trials as everyone of your high rider kin. You will face the same justice. " Angron speaks and Arona makes a quick head nod and takes him down the stairwell.

And as Arona tries to take him down the stairs the Rak Gol quickly does a whip with an appendage, grabs him, and snaps him in half before eating him.

"Should we free this beast?" Angron asks.

"No that would be terrible and if you do that I don't care what kind of hero you are to the common man I will kill you myself." Frank says from behind as he walks up.

"That thing would kill all of us for fun. Have Lancer kill it before it figures out how to break out." Frank says.

"Lancer, can you kill that thing without risking yourself or is this gonna be a job for the Fierce?" You ask.

"I can take it out quick since it's restrained." Lancer says and makes a quick move which slays it.

"Kolinasi, Kaiko Wahtiri. My Brother. Thank you. You have done so much. I heard you need supplies, I am sure that Cinncinatus will be willing to provide them." Angron says as Cinncinatus walks up.

"That will be my pleasure." Cinncinatus says.

>>4950775
"Cap, I have some news about the ships. They are taking off somewhere different. Not here, and not Nuceria, and they aint headin towards home either." Gella says.

"That is fantastic news." You say.

"Good, it gives us a departure window." Jera says over the comms.

"Cap, what's your decision?" You hear Jera ask and you look at Angron.

Two unseen shadows? Is it the shard of the Emperor that changed our course, or is the golden eyes second more than just a nod?

>>4950963
Supporting this, Team Wildcard is forming up nicely.

>>4951086
Lieren is not in this quest. There isn't a Shangrala to go find him on.

It is different, yet similar.

>>4951136
Well, the mistery continues.
The Starchild could have nudged the second too, but unless it was an extreme coincidence and he was still found third in order, it's probably not true.

>>4950963
Support

>>4951152
So.

It's 'Not Lieren' TM. Malal is the man and he has done amazing things with his quest. And his description of the second primarch is amazing, and I am fairly certain he did research as I did into the other primarchs and what is lacking in order to make Lieren so effective.

So for the record, the second primarch is 'NOT LIEREN'. This is done intentionally, so that if we are fortunate enough to work out a holiday special, it makes it more special. A 'What If' scenario that is beautiful.

As for the dark shade on the table.

I wouldn't have eleventh primarch quest without Malal giving encouragement. So a tribute is in order.

Update is gonna be up later tonight.

Nice

"Angron" You say and your brother looks upon you.

"I have to go to Olympia." You say with a heavy heart and Angron looks at you and you put your hand on his shoulder.

"We are on the trail of powerful slavers, and there is much that must be attended to. They have to be brought to justice." You say and Angon nods.

"I will return here after my business with them is done- I will help you until my family at home needs me." You say and Angron looks at you oddly

"You are a lucky man." He says.

"You can come with, my ma would probably hit me with her shoe if I didn't invite you home for dinner. I beg you to in fact." You say and he laughs.

"When do you leave for Olympia?" He asks.

"We have some time here yet. I. Angron, I have so much to ask you. So much I want to teach you. I have these star charts that can help you navigate the stars, once you get an astropath and a navigator." You say

"I know what an Astropath is but what is a Navigator?" He asks

"Someone who has three eyes." You say.

"You mean like Blue Barra? She's a gladiator who was supposed to fight tomorrow." Angron says.

"I don't know, I'd have to ask my own." You say.

"Well, if her fighting is any indication she should be a good Navigator." Angron says with a chuckle.

"Truly, I wouldn't know. As I have had to navigate before, using a device." You say.

" Well, what good is either of those, if I don't have a ship to pilot?" Angron asks.

"Well, you have one. Ur- Ahem, Pygmallius and I found a decent void capable ship. It is yours." You say and Angron's eyes widen.

"I can go explore the stars?" He asks.

"I wouldn't go too far, the ship is very small, despite how it looks from ground, the fierce right yonder" You point to your ship in wonder of the statement that you are about to say

"The Something Fierce is a very small ship. It packs a punch, but it is a tiny ship." You say and Angron laughs.

"That thing is tiny? What passes for big?" He asks.

"They get ten times that." You say still shocked by the scope and Angron let's out a gulp.

"On my planet we are working on building some bigger ones." You say and Angron nods

"Bet that requires a lot of people." He says.

"We have it kind of automated and controlled. Not as many as you think. It does require a lot of material. My planet, De'lormosa, was used by a clan of people called the 'dumpers' and they put so much metal, trash and general garbage on our planet that it has a ring around the planet that is visible at day and night full of garbage." You say.

"And you are putting it to good use." He says. And you nod, you remember when your secret surfing spot was no more than terrible trash heaps.

"Angron, would you like to learn how to surf?" You ask.

"What is this Surfing you talk of? You asked me already, is it like sparring?" He asks.

>>4951861
"No. It's, well, have you seen the ocean?" You ask.

"Not up close." Angron says. It's a shame.

"Can you swim?" You ask.

"That I can do." He says.

"Alright. Then you get to learn to surf." You say.

"You still haven't explained anything!" Angron says as you run over to Yana who is talking with Cinncinatus and then finishes speaking.

"Yana. My newly discovered sister." You say and she looks at you a bit confused.

"Yes my newly discovered brother?" She says in a mock tone of yours.

"Wanna blow this joint and teach our new discovered brother to surf?" You ask and she starts laughing,

"Not sated with just conquest of the planet, but you must conquest it's waves as well?" She says

"If I don't someone else will." You say.

"Yeah I will! The weather here is great and I have one of these!" Meera says hoping out of the ship with a strange little floating vehicle, and her board.

"It goes faster than you Kolinasi!" She teases you.

"I highly doubt that." You respond.

"Well, this is the nicest weather I have ever experienced and all my duties and checks are done. Those waves over at the far cove look perfect." And Meera zooms off with a 'woohoo!'

"What havoc have you just unleashed brother?" Angron asks with a chuckle.

"A witch who likes surfing. Well, would you like to try?" You ask.

"I would make for a terrible leader and warrior if I can't try a new challenge." Angron says.

"Well, You will have a good teacher so it won't be too challenging." Yana says.

"Though you need a board!" Deliah says walking with the rest of chain breakers and your uncle.

"Kolinasi what would your father say?" Your uncle Kai says.

" My Son, you just helped your long lost brother unseat a tyrant and the first thing you wish to do is surf? Without eating?! Surely the volcano will go tomorrow!" You say almost perfectly copying your fathers voice causing both Uncle Kai and Arona to let out a belly laugh.

"Either that or why you haven't asked him to come along." Deliah says.

"Aye. That."

"Alright you provide me with a board, and I will join in this sort of victory celebration. It's not like any triumph I have ever seen." Angron says. Deliah looks up at angron, then and you and smiles.

"I'll go get your spare captain." She says.

>>4951864

--

"So those four witches, who are all, by any stretch of the imagination for most people that are stunning, are your honor guard." Angron says as you approach the beach with a skeptical look.

"Ya." You say in a calm tone, as you have with all of Angrons basic questions.

"And you also captain that ship?" He says pointing off in the distance to the now parked Something Fierce, which Jera is now filling with donated supplies.

"Ya" You say, which you really have grown into the roll. A few months ago you would have said captain in training.

"Which you captured, by yourself." He asks, which is odd, because you just went over your story with him.

"With the help of freed slaves and knowledge of the machine spirit." You remind him and he nods.

"And you are NOT a pirate." Which he has asked multiple times, it's starting to make you wonder about the planets education system.

"No, technically I am a war chief and privateer, it's only piracy if you do it indiscriminately and aren't contracted out by a government." You explain, again.

"You are part of that government though! You basically are a pirate king." He says

"What the spirits is a pirate king?" You let out in a bit of exasperation.

"It's a story that Oenomaus told me about." Angron says.

The pair of you finally come upon the beach, were a small crowd has come to admire Meera and a few others who have started surfing.

"She is literally riding the waves." Angron says

"Oh these are ok, but you should see De'lormosa! We got waves bigger than that Rak Gol that I rode. Granted we have sea monsters though." You say

"Like what?" Angron says with a smile

"Kerrakakaru The living Gail, An albatross so big it creates a shadow that covers an island in shadow when it passes over, Then there is King Shark, which is pretty simple. He's a massive shark." You say.

"That' sounds like it would be fun to hunt and fight." Angron says,

"I slayed one legendary beast. Big Boy. An Electric Eel Shark. Thing is still feeding my island home." You say and Angron looks at you.

"And you surf in water with all those things?" He says.

"Frequently, but you fight everyday. I wish I knew as much of combat as you! You live and fight. You have such great skill." You say and Angron nods

"I honestly could probably get much better if I trained much harder. But you are here to teach me to surf." He says.

__

As you teach Angron to surf, what do you talk about?

>> Ask him more about himself! You have just met him.

>> Ask him about his friends, his arena comrades.

>> Ask him what his plans are with the ship, once her learns to use it.

>> Small talk, foods, pets, life in general

>> Ask him of his ambitions.

>> Write in

>>4951866
>> Ask him more about himself! You have just met him.
>> Ask him about his friends, his arena comrades.
>> Do you have a pet? If ya don't, you should get one, life has gotten much better with Erihapti around, and even Gella is enjoying taking care of Boots

To your shock, and pleasant surprise, Angron is quite the fast study. It may be his control of his body, honed by years of combat, or maybe, all primarchs are like this. You show him the way around the basic board. The waves, thankfully, aint mush, but they aint so big that some of the more fun tricks are possible, the basics and fun of it are still there. The Overhead waves, they are way out, and you don't want to show him that just yet. Not to mention, your grav board, as your father and uncle lovingly point out, is cheating. The water is even as blue as back home, but the waves are only about as big as little island.

From paddling out, to riding his first wave, took Angron less time than any you have seen save islanders. He hangs five like your father and it's quite impressive. Though him surfing with you does remind you a little of home. Yet, you know not much of him.

"Angron, what else do you do besides fight, and learn to surf in a matter of minutes." You ask

"The arena gives very little in the way of free time. But I have friends, a few combatants. Oenomaus, Julian, Hadrian, I mentioned my blue friend Barra. I don't have a - whatever that giant beast you have is, but I have a dog named Kairberus, He would probably be worried sick if it werent for the bones that he has to snack on. I'm learning how to read, it isn't so hard. I- I try to comfort those around me. There is so much suffering in the arena, and so much fear. I am brave and strong for them. I don't have much free time when I am not helping those around me. I wish I could do more, but now, it looks like I finally am able to."

You continue to talk with him for a very long time.

His favorite food, is meat when he gets it. Though it sounds like he has the pick, so long as he is on top as gladiator.

He enjoys combat, revels in it even. He doesn't revel in the killing.

You talk to him about strategy, which he understands, but seems much more suited to tactics.

Then you learn about his early childhood.

"They, did- WHAT." You say almost falling off your board.

"They filled the arena with acid. I had to kill so many people that day, and so many died. That was the last time I cried." He says

"You have been a gladiator and warrior ever since." You say quietly and he nods. It's a long silence, but you listen to him talk about the experience, the horror of which worries you, and makes you glad you found him so soon. However, you realize there is still, as always so much to do.

"Let's go to shore brother, I am sure my crew has much to discuss, but we can host your gladiators aboard the fierce for dinner, the mess hall isn't much, but we have a really good chef." You say and Angron nods

"If you are serving up some sea monster, that would be something." Angron says

>>4953333

"Do you have any nearby?" You ask, curious if this planet has any mythical creatures.

"I'm a gladiator, not a Steveador. Ask the men at the dock about that." He says and you dive off your board into the ocean. You swim around for a little bit, not too far away. There are large fish, including one you have never seen. It looks like a sword shark, but it looks more like a fish. It has a large fin and some black stripes. You let out the smallest bit of mana to get a read, and it's heading directly towards you. You react quickly, and let the fish graze you with it's snout, and you hit it then explode out of the water with the fish.

"Does this look monstrous enough on a short notice?" You ask and Angron lets out an approving laugh.

"I think your the only monster here, able to take out a fish in it's own territory!" He says.

The pair of you swim to shore, and Uncle Kai, Arona, Frank and Erihapti come hoping up.

"The locals are preparing a feast for us on the ship, but I see you already decided to grab something?" Frank says

"It's for Angron, he hasn't had much in the way of seafood." You point out and Angron nods, as your honor guard slowly pulls up to shore too, done with surfing.

"Ah. Well, that is good. We have been offered a lot in the way of resupply, however, our Navigator and Astropath wish to talk to you personally Kolinasi. Then there is your new crew mate Pygmallius, who is- well he is taking heavy stock of all electronics including the database, he says there are issues to address. He's really weird and he smells weirder. Jera says he is gonna gather part of his Moka with your permission, however, the cargo bay can only hold so much with both Lancer and the Sub. Then there is the after action report, which there is some stuff we desperately need to go over." Frank says and then Arona does a playful punch to his shoulder.

"And we haven't been properly introduced to Angron, much of the crew would like to be introduced to Kolinasi's brother." Arona says, then Meera speaks up.

>>4953334

"Then there is the wounded that need our ships medical bay, and honestly Captain you should maybe attempt to make the scars look less gnarly. Though you and Angron both seem to have similar ways of handling scarification- oddly." Gella says causing Angron to look at your scars, and you also see his and nod.

"Also that intelligence trove has a lot of weird stuff. The leaders here on Nuceria keep the best records." Meera says, and Deliah raises her hand,

"I am also concerned about the religious practices of the planet, namely their gods upon further examination, and to be honest, there are a lot of troubling artifacts that I would throw in a volcano if I could." Deliah says.

"So you really aren't a king, but a captain." Angron says causing you to chuckle.

"And before we all forget, we need to collect intelligence from some of these people, getting Rak Gol is tough, and to be honest we need to start seeing what the next step in government is with Cinncinatus. Sure we won, but now we just have a weird power vacuum and a semi stable state." Frank says.

You have 5 hours before dinner, you have a lot to get done with. Divide the time and priority among what tasks you must undertake, you do not have to do everything, but you reasonably can.

As usual- you can delegate some honor guard to certain tasks, and will have each honor guard member that can be delegated to the task next to it.

>>4953384
im fine with the time allocation and choices.

inregards to the gov: we should hold off on that until we know all 3 places have made their own governing authorities which are accepted world wide on their worlds. After which going a trivumerate would work.

>>4953384
fine with me, supporting.

>>4953333
Primarchs hanging out and surfing, warms the heart. We should definitely start our own version of warrior lodges and call them surf clubs, and all the primarchs that surf would be our version of Guilliman's Dauntless Few

>>4953384

The wounded really need our help, our primarch precision, new knowledge of the implants and medical studies should be good.
If dedicating so much time is not a good idea, than we should to atleast send Gella to help.

>>4953749
They are going to di d the blue gorilla aren't they?
And they are going to hate him and his little rules.

>>4953846
That or they are going to find the ghoul stars and the planet that the Ganth are retreating to.
If that's case it's going to be hilarious, thet turn tail and run away from the Imperium, get routed by a giant techno-barbarian and go hide in a small corner of the galaxy, only for that giant's sons, working for said Imperium, to immediatly find them and kick their ass, or they fake surrender, fake being good little vassals, only for in a few years the crusade to find the 3 primarchs they fucked over.
I don't know which option would be funnier.

>>4953336
>> Talk to 'Pygmalius' about his issue.
Kinda sensitive and probably something we should keep under wraps until he's secure back on De'lormosa.

Hope we can help those poor kids. I can guarantee that this is the generation that'll make up the first aspirants to Angron's legion.

FUCK YOU KHORNE! YOU BIG RED CUNT! And also, it might be of vital importance that we share Noctolith with Angron and the burgeoning leadership. Can't risk the revolution poisoned by warp corruption.
>> Collect intelligence from some of the prisoners before trial
I think a good start will be learning all we can on the Black Judges.
>> Talk to some of the local leaders with Angron and Cincinnatus.
It's pretty damn important that De'shea can provide for it's people; not only a just and fair government to lead and represent them, but education and medical care and clean water and food and fair wages.

>>4953855
Preferably the one that ends with Kolinaisi teaching his brothers about the simple delight of s'mores over the burning rubble of their final stand.

Also, can you imagine if *The Temerity* are the ones to locate another Primarch, like Mortarion or Konrad?

>>4953892
The Temerity being the first contact of Guilliman with the Imperium is like a sitcom episode. He keeps thinking that this entire galatic superpower consists of only crazy undisciplined soldiers that barely have or follow a chain of command, until he gets to Terra to meet his legion and sees that it's only the 11th tht is like that.
Than he thinks they are only like that necause they didn't have a primarch to give order to them, and gets excited when there's news of the 11th primarch being found, and how he is tge warchief of a coalition with 2 other primarchs. Being a speace empire builder, he would think that the 11th is like him, and goes to meet him, only to find Kolinasi, Angron and Pertubaro. First he thinks that Pert is the 11th, after all he is the orderly on, than he believes it's Angron, since he is the charismatic, abd finally he accepts that KKW is the primarch, and that the Temerity and probably the entire naval side of the Imperium is only going to get crazier.

>>4953920
Oh God, I love it. Who knew the ingredient the Imperium's recipe for success was missing was some Special K?

So the order of rediscovery in canon is;
> Horus
> Leman Russ
> Ferrus Manus
> Fulgrim
> Vulkan
> Rogal Dorn
> Roboute Guilliman
> Magnus the Red
> Sanguinius
> Lion El'Jonson
> Perturbo
> Mortarion
> Lorgar
> Jaghatai Khan
> Konrad Curze
> Angron
> Corvus Corax

*But* since we're gunning for a coalition of worlds under brothers, and we've already found Angron, we might very well meet Horus and the others in the middle with our own established fleet and armed forces. It's fucking great.

Goddamn captcha keeps resetting before the pic is done uploading.

Anyway, who do you think we can find next? My best guess would be Konrad?

>>4954034
After Pert, I thibk we should focus on internal matters for a while, since wr kind of rushed things a bit. Angron only has one city for now and no goverment, Pert will be difficult wheter or not he still is a mercenary captain or have been vassalized by Dammekos, and De'Lormosa is still unexplored to us, we only have contact with two of it's people, we still have to deal with the Old Man, UR, probably will have to kill a few more of the great beasts to make travel and colonization safe. Also we have to prepare for Deldar sabotage, it's question of time until they start tryong to get their revenge.
Only after all that we should start expanding the coalition.

>>4954109
It's true; we kinda rushed to leave and get to Angron as soon as possible because of meta-shit (though I will argue that pissing in Khorne's flakes is still a fantastic decision).

Maybe we can get to Perturbo early enough that he'll be able able to make a decision on what kind of future he wants for himself, rather than catering to his overlord.

Personally, I think it would be wonderful if he chose to venture out to Nuceria and aid Angron in his revolution. A worthy war, for ideals he has rarely seen on Olympia, fighting alongside his true blood-brother, to establish a kinder world of peace and prosperity for every man.

Maybe we could give Perturbo the sub and assign Tera (the Navigator) and the Astropath (forgot their name) to assist him until a more long-term means of communication can be achieved. Later on, we could even bring both Perturbo and Angron to De'lormosa and build them their own vessels for war and exploration alike.

>>4954216
Giving Pert the reigns on how to design the artificial islands/star fortresses/orbital battery is going to make him extremily happy, he may be a siege expert, but his true love was building things.
That plus having two lovelable idiot brothers, and explaining to him what the Eye of Terror actually is and why you not staring at it is a good idea instead of just telling to not do it ahould ease most of his problems (seriously Demmekus and the Emperor had the same way to deal with people, no wonder Pert rebelled, it's Tyrants all the way down).

>>4954034
OK! Because missing primarchs are in themselves a zebra puzzle, I am going to let you figure this out, and also because I love how you guys dig into the fluff and lore.

So.. You can 'technically', and I mean 'technically' using two points and information that will be in this very chapter (And other chapter) to triangulate the approximate area where De'lormosa system is at once you find a specific mentioned waypoint.

When you are able to approximate, and find De'lormosa, if and when, if your timing is good, you could- and it is in the story tree but I put it as an almost impossibility, find a third primarch- or if you somehow magically Find Alpharius Among Emperors Cadre , a fifth primarch, upon Big E's arrival

I will not say which one. I will tell you that it is a race against time, even with this turning into the KKW Speedrun.

>>4954216
It wasn't meta. It was blind freaking luck. The ONLY WAY, you got to this path, was accidentally finding the knight hangar, on that SPECIFIC post. Thus finding Charon, who has been dragged all over and having a galactic reference. In addition to Charon,

You found Frank.
Frank is harder to find than Charon, because you had to meet multiple requirements, to allow KKW to find Frank, and also not let him leave.

None of these reasons were meta at the time.

It only got Meta After you met Frank, Frank whomst is an intelligence operative, so he allows for more meta stuff as he, well, knows things.

And, Yes, Meera has a 'Doozy' now. I try to add in a lot of the stuff you guys make when I can.


>>4953972
'NOT Lieren'TM is 3rd.

And

Kolinasi Kaiko Wahtiri he still has to add two names yet at least /spoiler] is the 18th.

HOWEVER-

Your real race is against the clock is that Perturabo. You see, when the emperor finds Olympia, if you have met Perturabo there is a really good chance he will be explain that he has met his other brothers, thus adjusting the order to as follows

>Perturabo
> Angron
> Kolinasi
> Mortarion
> Lorgar
> Jaghatai Khan
> Konrad Curze
> Corvus Corax
> Omegon


Currently the last Primarch discovered was

Rogal Dorne

So you have 4 primarchs until Perturabo is discovered.

Why Old Man, there is no Nuceria on the map!

That is correct. I however have Nuceria and De'lormosa on my map, but I am not showing it because it would be a bit too meta. But for our purposes using this lovely map, showing the order of primarch discovery (for the most part) assume Nuceria is right around Impetus.

>>4954365
Isn't Nuceria east from the realm of ultramar, I would say that little spot in the hexagon between Calth and Saran Luxor, so De'Lormosa should be somewhere in the eastern fringes.
If it is, the Storm Riders are fucked when the Tyranids appear.
>>4954345
And I don't kbow how wise it would be to giga speedrun meeting a 4rth or 5th primarch while overextending ourselves, Angron was tge only primarch that being saved from their homeworld was the only way to save them.
Anyone has any ideas for other 2 names? I imagine it's the warchief name and the one for routing the Ganth right?

>>4954408
That would really depend, nids are weakest in void combat (even though thats not saying much), and our legion is going to be navy focused.

It doesn't really change too much, and we are good. My map wasn't too accurate, which kind of disappoints me.

However, to make this transparent, and because it makes it easier, go north of Tyran a little bit and put it around bardic.

It's apparently from some guy on reddit name s3xyrandal, that seems to be continuously updating the map, here's the newest version I could find.
I feel dirty having to search through there, I prefer diving through the wikis, but the maps there are very barebones or scattered about.
Anyway, i'm going to try and edit in De'Lomorsa, I tried to do it but Photoshop decided to be a bitch and crash my PC.

And I droped the pic again.
Disclaimer, that one is from the 9th edition post Charadon, so it has the rift and shitaris, but it's also the one with the most planets, so fuck it.

Here we go, a map with our De'lormosa ready to go.
It's not perfectly blended, but I like it this way, also it may be a bit fuzzier because Photoshop likes to increase file size for no reason, so I had to decrease the quality.

> Kolinaisi the Purifier, Kolinaisi the Storm's Wrath, Kolinaisi the Great Shark
Future generations might be able to develop Noctolith into a weapon that can disrupt the Hive Mind. Aside from that, the fact that De'lormosa is destined to be the beating heart of the eastern fleets and is home to all manner of giant monsters, they'll be able to fight the invasive xenos with literal fang and plasma.

What ought to be interesting is whether or not Kolinaisi or one of his sons will be the one to discover the Necrons.

>>4954580
>>4954711
Sorry, but I just can't read any of that on mobile.

My assumption at least was that De'lormosa was somewhere in the Dominion of Storms, a roughly equal distance from Nuceria and Olympia.

>>4954775
Well, all we know is that Nuceria is closer and along the way to Olympia, so it can't be that way, even if we went by Old Man's old location of near Impetus (I can't find any information on that planet online, am i dumb?), if it was De'lormosa would be around Caeran.

Also a tip for a fellow phoneposter, open the image in a new tab, it should allow you to zoom in as much as you want that way.

> Also a tip for a fellow phoneposter, open the image in a new tab, it should allow you to zoom in as much as you want that way.
Alas, no change.

>>4954856
Well, that's odd. I have no other ideas on how to help.

"Frank, Arona, with me." You whistle to Erihapti and she perks up to be by your side. "Uncle Kai.. Find what the spirits is going on with Jerah and his Moka." You say

"Maybe I should take Frank with me?" Your uncle laughs.

"Nah, I need him for interrogations." You say and Your uncle nods.

"We will do the after action report before dinner. Deliah, go see what is up with this local religion, see if you can find any artifacts. Report to me what you find." You say and Deliah grins.

"Am I authorized to destroy any artifacts?" She asks.

"Use your best judgement, you know far more than I do about this." You say.

You and your smaller group go back to the ship.

When you arrive, you see the small group of prisoners is kept in the front.

Some of them, are those you actively captured. Others, look a bit worse. It takes you, roughly twenty minutes just finding who the important people to interrogate are, and you mark them for further interrogation before trial. So far, it's the two you captured, a very serious looking older man in armor, an swollen blob, and a woman whom honestly worries you quite a bit as you are afraid that she may escape due to physical appearance and psychic gifts, you think. Your minor interrogation of various ones at least give you a good idea of whom interrogate before the trials in the morning.

"Frank, can you meet up with me at the after action. Someone needs to interrogate them, and keep an eye on em." You say. Frank nods then whispers

"Do you have any of that black ink?" He asks

"Yeah" you pull out some.

"I can already tell what she is about. Let me have some of this." He says and puts a hefty amount around most of his head and in his hair.

"That's a bit extreme." You say.

"It's not my fault she's my type." Frank says and you look up and sigh

"Then why are you watching her?" You ask.

"Because I am the only one who has a clue of what she may be up to. You go talk to your new engineer, or whatever, I am gonna get intell." Frank says in a tone that would be scary, for most. For you, it honestly is almost funny. Arona looks at you.

"If that's Frank's type then he is weird in the head. I deserve at least 25 pigs." Arona says and you shake your head.

"It can't be helped cuz let's go." You say.

"Ya Ya." Arona says back as the pair of you enter the ship and it's primary corridor, where you find UR and Nasi, both looking at something with the databank.

"So you two, what is wrong." you say and UR looks at you.

"To be very clear this is between just you and I, these two cannot be here for this.

>>4954911

"What is it Kolinasi?" Your cousin asks and Nasi looks up.

"If Pygmallius says it's that way it's probably something awkward about his physical body that you two don't need to see, or somethin private." You say and UR nods and their emotive looks agreeable. After Arona and everyone else leaves save your shoal stoat, he confides in you.

"Your ships machine spirits, are very pleased. That is good. I am worried about this databank though." UR says.

"What, it seems fine to me." You say and UR gives an odd expression on his emotive, like that of disappointment. He hits the side of it, and a door opens, that was hidden. And out rolls two strange creatures that you have never seen before.

"These are Jokero. That's how much of this was going on. Though, most of their designs were useless, some of what they designed was useful and those were put on to the Rak Gol." UR says.

"Those. Invented all the weird cybernetics." You ask.

"These Jokero, invented quite a bit. This catalogs a lot of their inventions upon other things. They were getting these from the Ganth. How I do not know. Jokero are infamous to take care of, and even harder to capture." UR says.

"So what do we do with em? Let em go?" You ask

"Well, that's the problem. They don't have anywhere to go. And anytime they are found they are often enslaved. My suggestion is that we just take care of them until we find a place for them to be free." UR says.

"I have to agree. What about, uh, the manner of your actual innards?" You ask

"I am working on that." UR says.

"Alright. How, do we handle these two?" You say to UR as the two Jokero look at you, in a way that shows quite a level of intelligence.

"They like messing with technical things, but honestly, I am not skilled enough. I was going to ask to borrow the Comms to ask the Old Man." UR says.

"We'll do that together." And you contact the old man,

"You have been quite busy on the radio today Kolinasi! What is it you wish to talk about?" The Old Man asks

"What do you know of these weird orange haired lookin fellas, called Jokero?" You ask

"Are you certain they are Jokero?" The old man asks.

"I have checked. Yes." UR states.

"You have multiple ones?" The Old Man asks

"Two." You respond.

"They are not native to Nuceria. Take care of them for now, find a spot to release them when you get a chance, but be careful with them. They make wonderful things, and also wonderfully useless things. They can also rip off a humans arms with their strength. So keep an eye on em. Does the crew know?" The Old Man asks.

"Na." You respond.

"Talk to someone who has been to space before besides me. I have never actually done research on them." The Old Man asks.

>> Talk to your Chain Breakers

>> Talk to Nasi

_____


Sorry for the mini update. The rest will be posted tomorrow. I had to do trip planning with the Waifu. It took multiple hours. Longer than parts of the trip.

>>4954916
>> Talk to Frank

Yeah I know hes meant to be doing the interrogation, but the dudes been round long enough to know these critters.

Hmm we should probably offer them food. A steady supply of food and water is the easiest way to gain their trust.

>>4954916
> Talk to Frank, then introduce them to little Nasi and Eri.
Fucking amazing. Nuceria got all of it's tech from a literal barrel of space monkeys.

>>4954982
Definitely feed 'em. Maybe they'd like a little Yum Shark? We get 'em back home, we could let the two have their own little island. Nice and quiet.

>>4954916
>> Talk to Charon
Charon has been dragged around as a slave for a long time, and by the Ganth, which means he might have aeen the Jokaero.
Also give banana to monke. Orangutans are the best apes, and space orangutans are even better.

> Among the tales of the Primarchs, each is a figure of glory and power, attracting men and women of great talent to walk beside them. Kolinasi however is unusual in this regard, as he did not limit his friendship solely to humans.
> At the conclusion of The Day of Broken Chains, it is known that the Eleventh Primarch made the startling discovery of Jokaero kept as pet-savants by the dethroned High Riders. It is not known how exactly he charmed the pseudo-primates, but upon the arrival of the Imperium to De'lormosa, the two had founded a burgeoning clan upon one of the last 'trash isles', transforming it into a verdant garden.
> It is a poorly kept secret amongst the higher ranks of the Adepta and other Legions that many of the unusual and exotic tools, defenses, and weaponry used by the 11th Legion are the handiwork of these Jokaero. While some among the Adeptus Mechanicus were (and still are) rather sour about the Jokaero's continued presence, their peers are quick to remind them of the legion's many worthy actions supporting the Quest for Knowledge and their progenitor's sacred bond with the holy machine-spirits. Other detractors, such as the holy Ordos, are quietly placated with 'gifts' that can aid them in pursuing far more dangerous quarry than tinkering simians.

You and UR both go outside quickly, and make contact with Frank. Who is busy in the middle of interrogation, which seems incredibly tense. You flag him down and he follows you. UR then reveals the Jokareo again. Frank looks shocked.

"What are you doing with those?!" Frank says

"We discovered them in the the databank, apparently it had a small housing for them."

"So you just find two Jokareo. You are the most surreal person I have ever met Kolinasi. Great. Well I hope that the machine wasn't hiding them from their family, because their family bands move in space ships that, frankly are beyond even your comprehension. Furthermore, I am surprised they haven't tried to escape and destroy things to make some random device yet. These ones seem young. I guess feed them? Have someone take care of them? Put little Nasi on it? Have your shoal stoat keep an eye on them? Just don't let them near anything like, oh no." And you see Frank look at Lancer moving into the hanger and the eyes of the Jokaero go wide as they watch the knight move and follow it quickly.

"OH NO." UR says and you realize what may happen as you quickly intercept the two before they get any closer.

"So yeah. They may want to do that. I suggest against that. I'd say put em back in whatever barrel or crate they were in, but you probably don't want to. Just keep an eye on them otherwise they will cause trouble." Frank says.

You then walk up and talk to Lancer whom has recently gotten out of his knight.

"Would you like some assistance?" You ask lancer.

"Honestly, my knight doesn't need to much in the way of repairs, but- where did you get those?" Lancer asks about the two Jokaero that you are basically holding like children.

"They were in a database." You say.

"Oh. Well, I guess new things are just common on here. I have some fruit and bars in my gear locker." He says going nearby and pulling out some food and handing it to the two.

"I'd like to learn though." You say and Lancer nods.

He guides you through the rituals a proper sacrasant and mechanic would go through with fixing a knight. It isnt't that difficult, with the right tools, but with what you have, it is a bit more difficult. You are able to sense the knights, machine spirit, which is largely influenced by the 'throne mechanicum.' But the spirit and mana of the machine are incredibly strong. The repairs, are small, you do some minor work to the legs and some alterations to the feet. Once you help him after a little bit of work you go off to do the next task. But not after Nasi comes to take the two Jokaero, with Erihapti, after some bribing, follows with.


Which is, talking to the local leadership.

Which is confusing.

>>4956048
Angron, is present as one of the 'gladitorial represntatives.' which includes Oenomaus and a few others, including a blue skinned woman with a third eye.

Next is the 'free' representatives, which includes Cinncinatus, and a younger man named Titus

Finally there are the 'good' nobles, ones who were in the minority and did not treat their servants poorly, Regulus and Trajan, both of which were in charge of various tasks including defense of the city.

The negotiations are tense.

The gladitorial representatives, or basically the recently freed slaves, are exceptionally upset with Regulus and Trajan, whom, while having scores of people vouch for them, and even Angron himself vouching for Trajan, they still seem hyper defensive on who is going to rule what.

After much discussion for thirty minutes, you suggest trying to at least form a council, which was Angron, Cinncinatus, and Trajan backed. Then they agree that they will convene a council and begin to have representatives. This is magnified, when you mention the visible fact that troops are heading this way, which causes concern among Trajan and Cinncinatus.

After some more discussion they agree with this plan, and Trajan, Cinncinatus and Angron begin a secondary discussion of defenses.

You begin to head back into the ship and you are ambushed by both the Navigator and Astropath.

The discussion, which is hard to you to follow with your only base level of intelligence on the matter is simple.

There are A LOT of ships moving through the standard route to Olympia.

The astropath is getting insane chatter, and she can't tell if it is a good or bad chatter, but there are multiple xenos migrations- which leads to the astropath, and her giving you the same eyes Erihapti gives you when she wants a treat.

"We need to take a different route and your help navigating with your device" She pleads after about twenty minutes of beating around the bush.
__
>> Offer to help with route planning later once current affairs are cared for
>> Offer to help navigating, only with assistance
>> Offer with both.
>> Offer to help with navigating, but tell them you will need to consult charts and planning a new route will take a bit
>> Write in
__


You finally get back to the cargo hold.

Which finally has the submarine in it.

And Jerahs Moka.

>>4956049

And about 40 more pigs than normal, which each have a collar attached. Odd.

The cargo hold is a mess.

"RONGO!" You shout out and Rongo, the official quartermaster and cook steps out.

"I know Kolinasi! It's absurd in here, Jerah shoved most of his Mokka on to the sub unit, but there is more stuff that he went a forragin for, then there were the dairy goats we got for the milk and cheese for protein, then we got cows." Rongo says.

"Cows?" You ask, only having heard of the beasts.

"Yeah mate. They require so much food though, it's absurd. It's just easier to have goats pigs and chicken with how much they eat." Rongo says

"Well how do they taste?" You ask

"Mate, you won't believe that till you had it. Problem isn't even Jerahs Moka though. We also got more forraging, and got different game birds, and those fancy pigs over there, and multiple fish. I already have the weird fish you brought in on cooler. Problem is all these things eat. We got the grain for it. The problem is"

"The waste." You say

"Ya. We can try doing fertilizing like they do on the witches isle. But where the hell will we put it? Lancer said he would tear me in half if anything got in his knight. I can't blame him. If we had a second vessel this would be easier, but the problem is it's not like they have a bunch of stores of canned meat for us. Though there are tons of canning material. And I overheard ya talking to the navigator, you know any deviation is gonna take a while." Rongo says, which is accurate as he was one of the first ones who got you into start watching.

"I guess we are going to have to allow some of the creatures, to roam. And are the cows for part of this Moka?" You ask

"Jera said that he don't care if you big, he says ya aint takin the cows." Rongo says.

"I am going to have to work on sanitation. Or something. Or pull a second ship outta my ass, wait, where is the fighter?" You say.

"Way in the back. Both of them. We had to rearrange this a few times already." Rongo says.

"Well at least we have enough food for the whole trip and back." You point out

"Mate, we have four trips worth of things in here. I am half tempted to kick shit off in Olympia." Rongo says.

"Just tell me if you do." You say and Rongo sighs.

"It was a lot easier when we were just at home." He says

"Ya. But you are a good quartermaster. When we get back you probably will get a star ship of your own." You tell Rongo, who has actually put on a lot of muscle, and is in significantly stronger form.

"Thanks. Also what were those weird orange critters Nasi was haulin around?" Rongo asks

"Some Jokaero thingies, don't let em near anything electrical and don't eat em." You say and he scoffs and looks at you

>>4956051

"I know, Rongo wisdom rule 5: If aint from the sea and it got metal in it, don't eat it. If it is from the sea take out the metal, and clean the fish careful." You say and Rongo nods approvingly.

"I know they aint fish." Rongo says and you laugh.

"Just keep workin hard Rongo." You say and he nods.

You walk down to a small muster area where your usual after action report team is.

"So Frank I see you got Arona her Gift. I see ya aint a rubbish man afterall." You say and Frank shrugs his shoulders, which causes Arona to give an odd look, and Uncle Kai to give a greedy smile.

"Those are apparently fine truffle pigs. They only eat very fancy food and are used to find very specific snacks that the high lords munch on. I also took the snacks the high lords like and gave them to Rongo. As for Intelligence Gathered from interrogation, I have gotten some info on the Ganth, The Black Judges, and of all things apparently a crusade from Terra. That lady is some sort of refugee. She is a powerful lady from Luna or was. She is hiding out here. If anyone else wants to take a crack at getting more info, proceed with extreme caution." Frank says.

"On the siege, and our combat today?" You ask and Arona raises her hand.

"They learned about us. We did good, but they had prep time. Some of the beasts Cuz, you would have been absolutely upset about." Arona says

"Ya nephew. They were ready for an uprising, somebody saw something, or did something. We were able to deal with it, because we are good, but we are going to need armor. And maybe a better approach to this kind of combat. While our advance was good, and we took care of the hard targets, we could have changed things a little. We got this big ship, maybe we didn't have to get into so much danger." Uncle Kai says. He has a point.

"So next time use the teleportarium" You say and Uncle Kai retches.

"Maybe, if I don't vomit from it." He responds. And Deliah raises a hand.

"I did the scouting on their religion. It was mostly prevalent in the high rider houses. It kind of matches with the ones I told you off. So I checked the artifacts, they had a lot of stuff that looked curse, so I put the ones I found in a bag without touching it and hucked it into a blacksmith furnace and gave him" and she sighs " a kiss and, a few fancy wool goats and he disposed of them without touching." Deliah says causing Meera to laugh almost uncontrollably.

"Well, good. If the things are as bad as you say they are, I don't want them in the ship." You say

"Then there is books. The records I took, I was able to get us some pretty useful historical star chart data, and information on how they got the Rak Gol, which kind of leads to the direction which the Ganth are going, I'd have to confirm with what Gella saw but I think I know where they are going" Meera says and Gella nods, and 'Boots' is sleeping in her arms.

>>4956052

"Yeah, I got the same, saw the troop movement, wrote it down after drawing a map, and drew a general egress for the ships in the system." Gella says.

Yana shrugs

"I helped Cinncinatus gather up people, you already talked to the elders." Yana says and you nod.

"Gella and I will do some Medical assistance with the wounded on board then wash up and head for dinner. If you see Nasi haulin around- Frank just explain the Jokaero to them." You say and Frank nods as you and Meera walk to the med bay, where Garreth and Tybro two chain breakers, Some Gladiators and one of the friendly guards are lying on beds.

The two of you get to work.

"These wounds aren't bad Garreth." Gella says

"You should see the other guy." Garreth says and Tybro lets out a quiet Ha, which causes him to make a pained strain

"So you got your ribs broke mate?" You say, less than ask, as you can clearly tell that he has two broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.

"And I screwed up my arm" Tybro says

"I am gonna fix it up." You say handing him the strong medical whisky

"Gonna hurt that much?" He asks taking the whisky

"It's only gonna hurt my pride if it does because then it means I screwed up." You say and reset his shoulder and he lets out a yelp after drinking.

"Oh come on! Do you see Kolinasi? Did you know he didn't.."

"Flinch after getting stabbed by multiple spears whilst walking on burning coals like all big men? Ya I know. The yelp wasn't the shoulder. The whisky has gone south." He says. You give him a skeptical look and take a swig. It taste like the paint stripper engine cleaner and you spit it out.

"Ya." You say and Gella lets out a little chuckle.

"You wanna try?" You say and she tosses over a bottle of her palm wine. You swig it, and it actually taste incredible compared to most gotrut. You give a swig to Tybro who nods and lets out a whistle

"How strong is that?" Tybro asks

"Read the label." She says.

"180 proof?! Ya daft with something that taste that good being that strong!" Tybro lets out, which honestly, is a good point.

"I just prefer my pain killer to be tasty." Gella says walking over and taking it.

"We will try to fix up the ribs as best as we can, but it looks like you are light duty mate." You say to Tybro who sighs.

"So long as I get to try again next planet." He says and you nod.


You go get washed up same as Gella.

You have some time before the dinner for Angron.

>> See how Yana is doing, she is your sister afterall.

>> Write in.

Yeah sorry it took so long tonight guys! There was an awful lot to go over, and there were a few storms here so I had to do some fun things.

Hope everyone is doing well.

>>4955989
This is great.

>>4956053
>> Go talk to Nasi about the Jokaero
>> Gather Yana, Uncle and Cousin, we should properly celebrate finding our sister. Maybe there's hope for aunt too.

>>4956049
>> Offer to help with route planning later once current affairs are cared for
Have we tinkered any further with the cyber eye thing? I'm sure the Warp is gonna throw a doozy our way since we fucked up the big red shit's plan.

>>4956053
>> Call up the Old Man, you have a bit to talk about
>> Gather Yana, Uncle and Cousin, we should properly celebrate finding our sister. Maybe there's hope for aunt too.
We should write Yana a haka. Maybe something about every soul returning home to the place they belong?

>>4956402
If you get enough backing of course you can write a Haka. And yes you can tinker with the eye further.

>>4956536
I can't recall how exactly the Mechanicus plys the Warp without Navigators, but this navigation tech could be a huge game changer. Especially if we can outfit all of our ships to link together, allowing a single lead Navigator to guide dozens of craft with pin-point accuracy and safety.

Also, definitely want to write a song for dear sis. She told K on the Isle that she felt like she didn't belong, but now she has a place with K and her kin.

>>4956633
I'm pretty sure that the Mechanicus have Navigators too, the only exception could be some explorator fleets that use ancient tech.
>>4956536
I'm ok with a haka, but we should only perform it back home together with the entire family.

HEROES OF DE'LORMOSA
> The oceanic world is notable for several reasons: it is of course the home world of a Primarch and his Astartes sons; the plethora of technological treasures discovered beneath the sand and crashing waves; and the many natives who have become shining icons of the Imperial armed forces.
> Admiral Henri Tānerore encapsulated everything it means to be a Big Man and a Navy officer; fierce, clever, and determined, buoyed by the love of his subordinates and the fear of his foes. Leading from the fore, he served in the vanguard of over 3,000 engagements; a tally beaten by very few.
> With a mighty jade club passed down from his forefathers and the gleaming artifice saber of his office, he laid low Orks and treasonous vermin alike, but Tānerore' greatest feat was the defeat of the 'Crimson Fiend' Kabal.
> The stunning tactics he used against the Drukhari that day are still taught now. Outnumbered and outgunned, he and his stalwart sailors fought with every shred of their being to snatch victory from the jaws of oblivion and in the process saved over three billion souls from the talons of the xenos.
> A marvelous painting was rendered of the battle's conclusion, wherein the Admiral and his favored 'Sea Dragoons' stand triumphant over the enemy as the horrid Webway device thought sought to unleash burns in the background.
> Henri Tānerore, a man of little ambition but endless tenacity, passed in his sleep at 217 years old, on the same sunny morning that his great-granddaughter was born.

>>4956895
Nice writing as always anon.

>>4956895
beautiful work.

Running behind. Had a work out. It was a bit more difficult than normal.

>>4956090
>>4956402
You do something you have meant to done for a while.

Talk with family.

Which isn't hard, you gather them to your quarters individually. When they each arrive they realize whats going on.

"It's wild. A week ago, I didn't know I had a sister or brother living. Now I have Angron and Yana" You say.

"I mean, honestly, she has Ravi's eyes and temperament. She also kind of looks like ya ma. Though she is taller." Uncle Kai says.

"And she can handle herself in a fight, that's for sure. I've seen it." Arona says and Yana smiles.

"I am glad. I didn't know I had a family, I was raised by an elderly couple, but I always felt a bit out of place. This means a lot to me too Kolinasi." Yana says.

"Da is gonna be stoked." You say and Kai Barks a laugh.

"Ravi is gonna bout do a backflip when he see that he has not one, but two successful and intelligent children that are warriors." Kai says and Arona looks at her father then at you and she sits down next to you.

The four of you joke and laugh for a little bit, and you talk. Like a family would, with a bit more banter than usual because Yana needs to learn to banter. This goes on, and then Arona looks up to you.

"Koli, it's a lot, but you have always had us. Sure your different, but you neva have been alone. Ya, Angron he got your DNA, and whoever that man is and that woman who birthed ya, they may be ya father, but they aint your family." Arona says and you put your arm around her and hug her.

"Except Angron, he and you are a lot a like ya? Your both big an goofy an fight really good." Arona says quickly after your hugand you playfully nudge her.

"This goof is Captain. Speaking of, we are almost late for dinner! I gotta runna errand first" You say and Your family is fine, and lets you head off.

You walk down to Nasi's quarters, where Erhapti is vigilantly guarding the entrance.

"Good girl. Paw." You say holding out one of her treats and she smiles and gives you her paw.

"Good. Now, Leap for it!" You say tossing the treat in the air and she grabs it and you catch her and open the door.

To Nasi looking over the two napping Jokaero in Nasi's hammocks which are normally filled with parts, that are on the floor.

"This is the best sign I have seen in ages." You say and Nasi nods.

"They played with some of the stuff I gave them. Also, I am sorry captain." Nasi says giving you the eyes of sorrow he had once before

"What happened?" You ask Nasi

>>4957556

"They played with your A.T.E and made it look like this." Nasi says handing you the artificial third eye. You study it. And, for whatever strange reason, not only does it feel right, but the mana is right, hell the machine spirit is the most peaceful you have ever encountered.

"Well, Nasi, it doesn't feel broke and I am sure they got to it before you could stop it." You say

"Yeah, I have your gear out of the way, but they made like a sword shark and went straight for it. I hid away the rest of your stuff. I hope you can still navigate!" Nasi says.

"There is only one way to find out you say."

Have something I worked. A future champ of the Legion.

HEROES OF DE'LORMOSA
> Aperahama; the Red Dragon's Bane, the Devil's Anguish, the White Shark, Bearer of the Storm-Spear, the Kingly Son. He has earned a great many titles and names over the years. Some gifted by family and comrades, others the last cursed words spoken by his enemies with their death rattle.
> Not a true-born son of De'lormosa, he was rescued as a boy by the Eleventh Legion when they fought against the mad cyber cults on ||REDACTED||. Keen and great of will, he was found compatible with the gene-seed of Kolinasi and made a brother. The Librarians quietly thought this an omen of things to come, and a scant twenty years afterward they would be proven right when a breach in the Gellar Fields of a friendly Naval vessel brought him face to face once more with the slaves of the bloated Red Worm.
> One of only seventeen survivors aboard the ship, he was forever changed by the encounter; he would smile and sing with his kin and brothers-in-arms certainly, but there was always a dark cloud hanging over his soul. As if he could not truly rest while his abominable foe remained.
> It is known by Inquisition records and honestly given statements that Aperahama would go on to fight the bloodthirsty servants of the Raging Beast many times over his lengthy service, as if they were drawn to him, and it is theorized by sages on the occult that the World-Ender desired to enslave this brave son of the Eleventh as an insult against Kolinasi. And yet, no matter how many foes were sent, they would all be laid low by the Relentless One.
> It is often remarked that had Aperahama been of the mind to, he could have led as Chapter Master. He certainly was not without the compassion and wisdom of a Big Man, or the strategic acumen necessary of any worthy candidate. Rather, it seems he preferred to serve his home and kin as a wandering champion, going wherever needed most.
> His title 'White Shark' is known to have been both a jest and compliment on the part of his brothers, given his many Noctolith tattoos that spiraled and covered every inch of his body, and "That when he chased down the bloody bastards, the last thing they'd see was the whites of his eyes."
> Three portraits hang in the great memorial hall of the Legion depicting his likeness; the first rendered on the day of his initiation by his mentor, one by his adopted daughter, and one on the day of his final departure.

"Where do you mean to go Grandfather? If you only wish to travel again, the Navy would be happy to have you."

"Nay lad. Where I go, ya cannot follow. 'S too dangerous, even for a Big Man. Even for Astaryes."

"Sounds like some right foolishness then to go alone. 'Specially with so many that care for you."

"Because it is something that must be done, and I would never endanger another with such a task."

"And what is so terrible that you would leave all of us, your home and people behind?"

"I mean to kill a god."

>>4958633
Well, depending on the god he might be fine, some aspects of Khaine are made for jobbing after all.
is it some sort of Daemon Prince or Greater Daemon of Khorne, a lesaer warp being or fucking Hashut?

"This can wait till after dinner, ya?" You ask Nasi and he nods and gives a thumbs up. You hoist him on your shoulder and you walk to the main dining hall.

"You ready for dinner Nasi?" You ask him and he nods

"I eat a lot more now! And Rongo is a good cook." He says back.

"Don't tell him it too often or it gets to his head." You say and he nods.

"Captain what's Pygmallius? I know he's not a human, is he a xenos?" Nasi asks and you are shocked by not only his statement but how he could possibly come to that conclusion.

"Why do you say that?" You ask.

"Well, humans in armor have passing vital signs, and he doesn't. And he is too smart to be a robot or a servitor" He says.

"Nasi, can you do me a big favor?" You ask and he looks at you.

"I will promise I will tell you, but you have to keep it a secret. Pygmallius isn't a xenos. We'll go over it with the old man and he will explain it to you." You say and he nods

"Ok. I am good at secrets." He says and you tossle his hair. When you get to the main dining room you have found that most of the feast, and local delegates are present including Angron, who, is wearing something more formal. The Dining Deck, has multiple areas including a private officer mess, however, you have as a rule, kept it open to anyone who wanted to eat there. Also you kind of use it more as a meeting debriefing area.

"Kolinasi!" Angron says as you come in.

"Who might that be?" Angron asks pointing to the child.

"This is Nasi, one of the ships primary engineers. He's been with this ship longer than I have." You say and he puts out a hand and Angron gives it a shake, and you put Nasi down. Rongo looks up at you, and so does the apprentice cook, another chain breaker, and you nod. Rongo then begins to start signaling the food is ready.

"No need to stand on ceremony lads! We did good!" You shout and and there is a round of cheering. You bring Angron over to the serving table and introduce him to various foods he hasn't tried yet, which has caught his eye. And food you haven't seen yet.

"Rongo, what are these red things?" You ask.

"Tomatoes, or at least that's what the locals call em. I tried em. They seem to be good for a lot of things, but I fried em up in the normal batter over there, those ones are for adding to the food as a side. Also I am certain it helps prevent scurvy." Which is a life saver literally. A good source of vitamins is essential to all this travel. So long as you can continue to grow them.

"What do the locals use it for?" You ask angron who shrugs.

"I have only seen them used in big fancy dinners, they would go with greens or be used as some kind of sauce.." He says grabbing one of the fried ones.

"Though this is delicious, though- to be fair, probably not as healthy as it raw." Angron says.

"You know a lot about food." You say

>>4959790

Yeesh Dropped my trip.

___


"One of the other gladiators was a cook. He would go on, and on about it. He at least died with a full belly." Angron says.

"In the arena?" You ask.

"Oh not at all. He died when training near a cliff. Fell right off." Angron says and you are a bit shocked by that as you migrate to what has become your 'normal position' you find the usual suspects at the captains table. Your honor guard, uncle, arona, Jera, Nasi, but also Cinncinatus and Trajan. And oddly enough, your Navigator, whom is talking to the bluer tinted gladiator.

As you sit down a space is cleared for Angron, at the much larger table, which was made this way out of necessity.

The dinner goes well enough and Angron, and yourself, both like the strange sword fish, as it is called. Afterwards, many of the people begin to assemble, and have business to discuss with you, before you leave. But before you go many ask for a bit of shore leave to get some trinkets, food, and gear. You and Jerah both let them go, but before he goes he asks for a quick word. Which is exactly what Trajan and Cinncinatus want. At the same time as the Old Man calling.

First-

What time for Shore Leave to end?

> 24 hours, gives you and Angron more time, and the crew more time
> 20 hours, or basically around when it gets dark tomorrow
> 18 hours, there isn't too much time to spare
> 16 hours, you do have to get a move on.

Second
What order do you talk to them?
Rank the order of the four

>Jerah
>Cinncinatus
>Trajan
>Old Man

___

>>4959791
> 20 hours, or basically around when it gets dark tomorrow
> Trajan and Cincinnatus, then Jerah, then the Old Man
Aside from bringing little Nasi, I think we should have Angron along as well. That dumbass cult leader had a point about keeping secrets; we might have to debate with Angron over whether or not allying with a Man of Iron is worth the risk, but it's better having everything out in the open.

>>4959791
> 18 hours, there isn't too much time to spare
In case some don't return in time we would still have some daylight to search for them.
>Jerah
He said it was quick
>Trajan
He is one of the guards thar Angron gave the clear right? He probably wants to join the crew because the free man and the slaves don't trust him, so also should be quicker to deal with.
>Cincinnatus
>Old Man
I have no idea what they could want, just putting old man last because we have a time limit talking with Cincinnatus

HEROES OF DE'LORMOSA
> Kahurangi Atareta; Chief Techmarine of the Eleventh, Shield of Jherost IV, Thunder-Tongue, Heritor of the Terrowatt Mantle.
> With a legend 500 years long, Kahurangi's story is as fantastic as any champion of the legions. Born as the humble third child of lay-mechanics, he spent his formative years playing and toiling in the heart of a grand Crusade-Era vessel.
> Had it not been for a twist of fate and perhaps the mysterious will of the Omnissiah, the boy who would become most powerful Machine-Speaker since Kolinasi himself might have lived and died in peaceful obscurity; content in his work easing the hurts of the glorious battleship.
> Instead, he and his kin barely withstood a tremendous assault by Ork Freebooterz, saved in the final hour by the 11th Legion and its auxiliaries. Found clenching a broken, bloodied wrench over the corpses of his parents murderers, Kahurangi would bear a black hate for the Greenskin filth forever more.
> Aside from his life-long passion and the prodigious intellect that is his namesake, Kahurangi was a master of verse and poetry. His songs and words could calm even the most ferocious machine-spirits. A collection of his works is carefully maintained on De'lormosa, where his wisdom can be studied and revered by new generations.

After so long, they had found her. Stolen away by heartless fiends and avaricious waerloch of the vilest kind.

The Aurora. Secunda Mater. Hine-Raumati.

His fondest memories had long been clouded by darkness, knowing that she was chained by data djinn and daemon sorceries somewhere.

Now, vengeance would be had. The Moka of many dark years would be repaid. Friends and colleagues of many stripes had answered the summons. Navy. Mechanicus. Ordo Malleus. And bless them, two-hundred warriors of the War Hounds ready to bury their axes in the foe.

The Summer Maiden was in the Maelstrom, tortured and deformed into a shadow of herself. His twin hearts ached, but he knew what must be done. While the enemies main forces were distracted, he would teleport past their defenses with the device given to him by the strange masked dancers. To the heart of the Gloriana.

The bomb would do the rest.

He would die with her. She deserved better than to be alone in her final hours. A part of him prayed that there was some ember of her spirit remaining, beautiful and defiant , he would die with her.

Perhaps, he wondered, they might be born again. If the Sea of Souls was impossibly kind. If the Emperor and Omnissiah willed it so. A better life. A kinder life.

"I am coming, Hine-Raumati" he spoke with conviction. "And nothing will stand in my way."

>>4960367
Little typo in there, but I think it turned out well enough.

I've been trying to write these characters as existing in whatever window of time Old Man likes, and with an open-ended fate; so Aperahama might still be out there like the Kaldo Draigo of the Eleventh, and Kahurangi might've escaped the detonation of the Harlequin bomb with Hine-Raumati's spirit piggy-backing on the way out.

>>4960385
Who was the stick in the mud that named that Gloriana?
Whoever he is, he must be transfered to serve under one of the joke fleets in repentence.
Kolinasi wills it.

>>4960388
Probably some Administratum chump. It's why she has other names. Better names! Names that are beautiful and have meaning.

> inb4 sufficiently powerful Machine-Spirits/AI that aren't corrupted by Chaos can become 'Daemons' of Order.
> Kahurangi's spirit is guarding the Summer Maiden in the Noosphere as a great shark composed of iron-clad code and blazing blue light.

>>4960032
>>4960254

I am going to wait for more votes or consensus because while the last write in was a bit tiny the next one is going to be a bit more in depth.

>>4960254
Trajan was one of the 'Good Nobles' that Trajan vouched for.

>>4960367
this is beautiful.

>>4960671
Holy shit, I just noticed that I managed to skip half the text of an update.
No wonder I was confused why the talk o jokaeros started in the middle of a conversation.

>>4960677
I honestly need to make my stuff more clearly divided, and work a bit more on making it easily readable.

>>4960688
Not really your fault Old Man, my skeep deprived mind jumped the firstxpart for some reason, that's why I didn't vote for how to help the astropath and navigator.
Now that I have a better understanding, I'm swithcing my vote from 18 to 20, finding a new route and testing our upgraded eye is going to take some time, and warp travel ian't a joke.
Hope we still manage to get to Olympia before the Ganth or whoever else is going there.

>>4960696
If we're lucky, the A.T.E. will shave off some time and we can have arrive with a window to prepare for them.

>>4960712
Hopefully, the astronomican is dad's light after all, and with the starchild's blessing it should atleast like us.

So, I hate non interaction, but I cannot post tonight, I will be posting tomorrow. So that gives more time for deliberation, it's mainly due to the fact I have to be up earlier than normal by far, for a drug test and other things for final new job screening whilst they are running the background. Hopefully everything goes well, as while I am assured to pass the drug test the other screening is a bit different and I don't want to go into detail but just wish me luck.

That being said- as I want to keep interaction high, we will do a little thing which I was going to wait until later in this chapter for, but right now works too I guess.
____

Arnoul De'saan once again looked at his navigation charts, his hands going to his face.

He didn't want to know how some would handle this.

The situation was a quagmire.

He had to choose between two different fronts, and areas to push into, having successfully routed the recent migration. Iap, the last planet the legion went to fought for what will probably be a great agri world. Most of the Charadon sector, has been full of mineral rich and resource rich planets. And fierce fighting the whole way with multiple absurd enemies. The good news was, that bonds with the Mechanicus has increased especially after discovery of Metallica. The integration of several Terrawatt clan members has been, quite helpful in these cases.

However, the impending quagmire, were the multiple fronts that had multiple threats to deal with, and the fact that the eleventh had gotten another nickname besides "The Temerity" which was "The Phantom Legion" as they were so far ahead communication was almost impossible. Going further in any direction, would almost certainly bring trouble with how supply lines were developing. However, there were some options

>To the Direct East, the Main Crusade Fleet was pushing, and potential to meet up with the Emperor Himself.

>To the Direct North, the battle brothers of the War Hounds were directly campaigning, good allies to meet up with.

>To the Direct West, the Primarch Ferrus Mannus leading the Iron Hands in his offensive.

>To the Direct South, Incalpeta Terminus, the supposed rally point at the southern edge of the known galaxy and the legion is far ahead of schedule.

Then there were the rumors

>To the Far South East a planet that would have viable resources and be good for a future rally point

>To the Distant North East past a localized warp storm, the seventh legion wages war

>To the South west, as unbelievable as it sounds, human settlements supposedly dealing with Aeldari


Which do you choose to guide your legion to legion master?

>>4960985
North West is not an option because you just came from that way.

>To the Direct South, Incalpeta Terminus, the supposed rally point at the southern edge of the known galaxy and the legion is far ahead of schedule.
>To the South west, as unbelievable as it sounds, human settlements supposedly dealing with Aeldari
What happend to the elf called angel is ahe still with us?

>>4960985
Going by what you wrote it looks like
> Ferrus might be diving into Ork territory
> Emps is pushing into the Dominion of Storms
> The War Hounds are cutting a path toward the Ghoul Stars
> The direct south is the area bordering Macragge and its allies
The localized warp storm sounds like it might be near the Somnium Stars and Malfactus area. The other option I'm unsure of.

Personally, I think we should;
> Venture to the Direct North: the battle brothers of the War Hounds were directly campaigning, good allies to meet up with.
Aside from being super appropriate for the two brothers legions to be so closely tied, it's also tactically wise; it's always better to have an ally that compliments you, and whom can watch your back. The 12th can handle the ground game, the 11th will secure local void superiority.

> Send a detachment of reinforcements to the Direct West, where the Primarch Ferrus Mannus is leading the Iron Hands in his offensive.
Putting a uniquely talented force at his disposal could help build bridges between the Legions and of course gives him other options besides all-out assaults. Just because you're a Primarch doesn't mean you have to be a one-trick pony!

>>4961180
I think she might still be resting while the fat fuck is dealt with.

>>4960985
>To the South west, as unbelievable as it sounds, human settlements supposedly dealing with Aeldari
Let's deal with Caldera before Vulkan burns it to the ground.
Arnoul being from Luna, he should know the stigma of being called a traitor, so he is either going to be extra zealous, or atleast spare some of them.
If he somehow knows the Luna High Rider refugee in Nuceria, it's going to make meeting his genefather very awkward

>>4961180
You are going to find out very soon.

Also good news. It sounds like all my testing went well. I may need an additional thing, but it sounds like I did it. So now, I wait for a start date.

As Arnoul De'Saan charted his course towards far reaches that few have ever dreamed of, he wondered when he would meet with his Primarch.

__

"Spirits be mad Jera are you sure those kinda numbers are accurate?" You say looking at the outrageous mineral deposit charts and scopes that Jera taught you how to do, yet neglected to do on this planet. Largely because you were rescuing Angron. Not because you were busy and forgot. You were going to do them later.

"Kid, I have watched you grow before my eyes, but I have done used the junk scanner and mineral scanner for ages. This planet is rich with the ore we need for those reactors, and they are in locations where it won't be a big deal. This planet, with all that's in it, could get there own ships, if we brought the old mans flyin scaffold" Jera says

"Jero mate we need a better name than flyin scaffold or flyin printer." You say

"Agreed on that cap. I see that you saw my Moka." He says

"It's about right, it's the biggest Moka I have ever seen." You say

"Ya, you get part your cut a little early." He says and tosses you a bag. Inside is a ring that is intricately made of gold and, it feels like Palladium. It has a machine spirit inside it. What's odd is it looks like it was made for someone, or something, with a bigger finger than even you, or at least adjusts to that size.

"What is it?" You ask

"That is, according to the new lad you recruited Pygmallius, who needs a shower by the way he smells like he's dead, is a digitech plasma ring." He says pattin you on the shoulder and you are shocked by how awesome such a weapon can be in such a small size.

"I got enough for each big man, their wife, and three for each of my hand! Each one does a different thing." You then pause.

"Ya know Jero I aint a married man." You say and he looks at you

"The way I sees it you got three different brides with ya honor guard, but You didn't look in the bag careful enough. And besides the real girl you care about most doesn't need a ring." Jero says tapping on his temple before going off to take care of his rounds before going on leave. You look in the bag, and there is a smaller ring stitched in with a delicate shield pattern on it. You can feel the machine spirit humming, and you guess it's a shield. Then you see a very delicate wrapped object with a ribbon that says 'for Erihapti' that looks like some sort of treat.

"THATS HOW SHE GETS SPOILED!" You shout

"I ONLY DO THIS SO SHE DON'T THINK I AM A SNACK WHEN SHE GETS BIG!" Jera shouts back from the command deck.

"AND TELL THE CREW 20 HOURS. GIVES US TIME TO LOOK FOR EM IF THEY DO SOMETHIN STUPID." You shout

"AYE CAP" He shouts back

>>4962108
__

You walk down to meet with Cinncinatus and Trajan, as they each promised to be quick.

You talk to Trajan first, as he is the first one you spot.

"I hope I am saying this right, Captain Koli-Naasee Kayko Waterey?"

"It's Kolinasi Kaiko Wahtiri, and while each name is special, it's alright. Trayy-Jaan is weird for me." You say and he lets out a chuckle.

"I am one of the Commanders of the Defensive Guards, and Armies. I have been working to defend this city most of my life, and you take this, and thus the empire, in less than a full day. I have one question, what are you plans do you have for this planet when you are gone? You just intend for it to self rule? I understand the appeal. Most of the high nobility was inbred and, to be quite frank, corrupt. Many of them never left their region of the city. Most of them didn't leave the city. Only a few like myself in the military actually have been to the fronts or elsewhere."

"I appointed you, and the council as a whole, to find out a system that works. I came to rescue my brother, stop any ganth slavers, and find out where they are heading. So far I have an incomplete picture. But I am working on it. I will return shortly after I go investigate Olympia, I may need reinforcements, so those that wish to join can. I have no intention to press gang anyone." You state then you think on the report.

>> Make a copy of the report that you got from Jera give it to him
>> Let him know of the deposits
>> Tell him nothing yet. Wait till tomorrow after talking to Angron to confirm if this is a good idea.

--

After your brief chat you meet with Cinncinatus.

"I saw the Grand amount of supplies you have gotten." Cinncinatus says

"Indeed. What need do you have of me Cinncinatus?" You ask

"Kolinasi, I am a simple man. I have served military before, and worked as my current job, and farmed. I do not like the idea of ruling. I actually despise the idea. You asked of me to serve. I did. I have liberated my people from the high riders. If I must, and I mean must then I may consider the idea. However, I ask that you find someone else to take up this mantle from me, even if it's just consular rule." He says.

>> Let him resign, it takes a strong man to turn down rule
>> Ask him to stay on the consulship until you come back, it isn't too long- and it won't take too long to find a replacement.
>> Ask him to stay on until a new government is formed, then the people can choose someone else.

__

>>4962111
You walk back to a more intimate, at least for you, part of the ship. Here the machine spirit humms peacefully, and few disturb you here.

"Alright Old Man, we got a lot to talk about and you said this would be quick." You say over the comms

"Ya Kolinasi, I did. When you get back we will have a big talk, I promise. I did some work ups. We got our first knights for the knight house up an walkin." He says, which is good news!

"That's great Old Man, what else news wise?" You ask.

"We actually got people from all over comin to the islands. You may have taken mantle of war chief, but now people from all over the planet are comin to try to meet you. That bein said. This aint that. The important thing is simple. Gonna get it out of the way. " The Old Man clears his throat, and the pause is deafening.
_


In your Millenia of life, it's odd. You never thought you would find someone who you would have to treat like a son. Kolinasi, when he was much, much younger, had the kid name of Keiki Mokupuni. Everyones child. This didn't last long as nickname, as Kolinasi readily and readily proved himself.

He learned from everyone. Women, Men- even other older children. Sure, Ravi was clearly the father. But, Kolinasi, never treated you poorly and he actively sought you out.

Over a thousand years ago, when the first people started colonizing due to machinations of your colleagues, if you told them who you were, would they care? Would they even know? Would it mean anything?

These men on this island, if they heard that the reason they were tall and strong was due to your work would they believe it?

Kolinasi, he would listen. He has listened to you, talked, and collaborated. These works, you and him go over, make you feel like you are doing something great again. If he wasn't busy hunting down the ganth. If he wasn't trying to make everything right. Then he finds a Man of Iron of all things! Could a man of gold made Kolinasi? It seems logical. There are some who it could be. The one, one the screen. The woman. She looked familiar, and honestly, was not to be too trusted. You look at your battery. The Comms, run on quantum nano batteries, would last probably until the elements half life crapped out 20 million years from now. The batteries you were making now, on the new ships? If you found some Transuranic elements or something better- maybe a century before refuel. Then The real reason you called.

>>4962112

Your life extending battery. The reason for your immortality. The leak. It can be fixed. But the element needed, Stable Moscovium, is so incredibly rare. There is many last minute options you can do, but- after all this time you still feel like you have so much to do. You see Kolinasi on your chart. Olympia is near a source, but to your astonishment- Nuceria itself! has a slight reading, if the pings from the something fierce and the technical data readout you received upon the approach are true. You don't want to risk Kolinasi. But, he is the only one who can save your life. Otherwise, you have not seven years like you thought, which, with the recharge since Kolinasi's gift made closer to 70, but more like seven months.

PICK ONE
>> Get to the point. Tell him what you need, and why. If he can't get it on Nuceria, he can get it near olympia, come back and fix ya up.

>> Tell him the material you need. He doesn't need to know why.

>> Come clean on it all. You don't know if he's gonna succeed, he needs to know everything in case.

>>4962111
>> Tell him nothing yet. Wait till tomorrow after talking to Angron to confirm if this is a good idea.
>> Ask him to stay on the consulship until you come back, it isn't too long- and it won't take too long to find a replacement.
>Unless he has a replacement in mind already

>>4962114
>> Come clean on it all. You don't know if he's gonna succeed, he needs to know everything in case.

Considering the lengths kolinasi has gone to, i see him trusting his brother to manage his own world and wouldnt want to step on his toes. I see him wanting to help the old man even if it delays us.

As for leadership: theres nothing worse than a unfilled power vaccum, especially in a newly founded governing body.

Please remember all options from the posts.

>>4962114
>I have a proposal that could help Nuceria as a whole, and even connect it to my home through trade and effort, but I believe it's something that you Nucerians should decide for yourselves, so I'm going to ask my brother to discuss with the council in my place.
I want to give him a heads up so he doesn't think that we tought he was untrustworthy, but I want the decision to be Angron's.
>I can respect a man that is willing to give up glory for a simple life, but I must ask you to stay in the temporary council until a real goverment is organized. If a member leaves so quickly, the people are going to lose faith in it. Not only that, but I know that you are a good man, and wouldn't let a new corrupt system take root in the place of the old.
I guess he really takes after his namesake. The Nucerian Republic is going to make this man a legend.
>> Come clean on it all. You don't know if he's gonna succeed, he needs to know everything in case.
Gives your story, Dr. Longorian or Dr. Thompson, if those are even your real name.

>> Tell him nothing yet. Wait till tomorrow after talking to Angron to confirm if this is a good idea.
>> Ask him to stay on the consulship until you come back, it isn't too long- and it won't take too long to find a replacement.
>> Come clean on it all. You don't know if he's gonna succeed, he needs to know everything in case.
I say we make an offer to angel to come with use, cause she is obviously a strong psyker and I think it would be of interest to ask her if we can look at the her crystal and see when we get back home how our black stone back home can if at all produce a similar effect
