You look down at the violet fizzling liquid. Yeah... there's no way in hell you're drinking this.
What's taking those idiot Fire Warriors so long? With no way out all you can do is stall for time.
"What's in this drink?" You ask.
Maiya pipes up "A blend of hallucinogens and stimulants-"
The psyker interrupts "and a touch. Of the Warp! To enhance the ė̸͈̠͈̀̇́̿x̷̡͓̾̚p̷̜̤̙̖̯̓ȇ̵͖̳̪̦͌̀̊͘r̵̭͚͔̔̓̌ͅͅì̶͖͖̰̰ę̶͈͚̯͋̈́n̶̪͙͙̩̋c̷͎̗͊̈́̈́̌ȇ̵̩̂͒͘
"Don't worry Cas, you won't overdose." Maiya reassures you.
You continue your questions "Are you certain we can free this world from xenos?"
The Chaos witch glares at you: "You are STALLING. You want a purpose. I give you a purpose: To serve the dark god Slaanesh! He asks only two things! killing his enemies and indulging yourself in pleasure without restraint."
"Very well, but there are some things I need to know before I commit my life to this purpose." you lie.
"Two more questions." she snaps, "then you will drink, or you will leave and never return."

>>5074710
We should suggest to do that, but we need to ask the questions.

Okay, we need to think about what questions will A) make the Fire Warriors storm this place ASAP, and B) take the longest for these heretics to answer.
Logically, this means asking about things that pose an immediate danger. Weapons, slaves, sacrifices, spreading anti-Tau sentiments, that kind of thing.
I propose
>Do you even know how to use half of the weapons here? I know some people who used to be in the guard and aren’t too happy about the Tau occupation either. I’m sure they’d be happy to help out.
>Those people over there in chains. Tau supporters, I assume? Why haven’t we killed them yet? Assuming there are slaves visible, of course. There’s a cage in the background so there might be.

>>5074753

>remember we have a tau speaker on us,if we say we know other anti-tau aligned people,we would indirectly be ratting them out

>>5074756
I mean, we could be bullshitting for all the Tau know.
That said, you might be right. Maybe we could just say we think there are probably other guard survivors who wouldn’t mind sticking it to the Tau.

>>5074702
>Will we try to take this world for ourselves?
We need to tip the Tau listening in that these guys are planning an actual revolution, so a question like this should be good. Someone else pick other question.

>"Two more questions."

"You are just asking me to trade one god that never helped (lie) me for another! What proof do you have that this one isn't as fake as the first one? I was hoping to be free of blind obedience to a inactive god..."

I sense this cultist, like many others, is always looking to "prove" that the emperor is a false god and that their gods are real. They always shit on the faithful that the emperor is a false god while their gods are active and grant boons etc.

If she starts showing off shit it will give the fire warriors incentive to act, I feel like they probably don't care about our life and are waiting to see what they can get. If she shows us guns/ psychic abilities / etc we can just keep saying 'the imperial guard had that too' until she shows us something really big.

"You are just asking me to trade one god that never helped (lie) me for another! What proof do you have that this one isn't as fake as the first one? I was hoping to be free of blind obedience to a inactive god..."
The Psyker laughs "You doubt his power? Ha! Slaanesh rewards the faithful with supernatural boons. Most famously he grants preternatural senses and speed. Observe."
She calls over another cultist, he holds his fist to his chest in salute "Yes, mistress?"
"Close your eyes, marked one."
He does so.
A blade springs out from her bracer with a soft click, and without warning she throws it right at his throat.
In a blink he catches the flying blade. Then opens his eyes.
"Behold! Please the Dark god and receive his blessings. And that's only the beginning of his power!" The witch proclaims.
The cultist flips the blade and catches it by the handle. "Something is amiss... Who are you?"
He closes in on you, eagle eyes staring at your chest. He's on to you! Time to bail!

"A SPY!" he roars!
Your arm springs out to jab the cultist in the eyes but he blocks with the side of his hand. He slashes your belly with a shallow cut, the pain is sharp.
"Seize them!" The psyker screeches. Maiya stands paralysed with shock.
All the cultists in the room start running straight at you. You grab one of the nearby tables covered in chemicals and Chymistry glass and heave it over.
The glass noisly crashes onto the floor spilling every drug known to man into a single puddle. A vapour of hallucinogens, aphrodisiac and stimulants starts permeating the room.
You struggle to hold your breath.

Don’t the Inquisition have penitent witches? And I don’t just mean regular psykers who have been convinced of the Inquisition’s bullshit from day one, but actual former Chaos worshippers? Or is the Inquisition just getting some use out of those heretics before their souls go straight to the asshole of the Warp? It would be suitably grimdark, I suppose.

Penitent Engines are literal torture machines, and their souls are still bound to the dark gods. Unless she was somehow completely untouched by the warp, there'd be no hope, and seeing how her body is completely covered in tattoos, that's unlikely. In fact, some chaos gods go all the way as to fuck over people who try to kill themselves to repent and turn them into chaos spawn.

Of course, she's getting murdered by the fire caste anyway so it doesn't matter.

Exhaling reduces the amount of remaining air in one's lungs, thus making it harder to keep holding one's breath. Roaring something, in particular, is followed by a strong urge to inhale.

You hold your breath fast and are unaffected by the gas spreading throughout the room.
The cultists without gas masks start thrashing like crazy, when suddenly the front door is shot down with a pulse blast.
Fire Warriors start streaming in, "FIRE CASTE! THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS."
The crazed cultists in their drugged up haze screech and attack immediately, lasbeams and blades flying wildly. The shas return fire, and you narrowly escape the firing line.
More cultists are rushing out from deeper in the base to defend. Maiya, avoiding the gas opens up a secret hatch and crawls through.

We have zero chance of being able to take down a person who's able to blow up our head with just a thought. I'm not even going to say why stealing something from a chaos cult is bad.

Conversely, we cannot let anyone of those cultists get away. If maiya is able to flee, she'll just start another cult again. We'll have to find a way to get her, permanently.

Full agreement with >>5079234 . If we're able to quickly snatch up a weapon while chasing her, go for it, but focus on not letting her get away. A trained guardsman should be able to subdue an apparently unarmed female clerk in hand-to-hand combat anyway, plus we're still wearing the wire so the Tau can always reinforce us if we get in trouble.

>>5079229
> Chase after Maiya
Knowing them, the fishmen probably won't respect the time-honored traditions of battlefield salvage and demand we surrender whatever we loot into evidence or something. Though that might be for the best though given that this is a chaos facility, touching anything here is the equivalent of playing russian roulette with a pistol that shoots STDs (Spiritually Transmitted Diseases).
Attacking a psyker is straight up just a terrible idea and is only really viable if you happen to have an untouchable strapped to you, which we presently do not.
So by process of elimination, cutting off the recruiter's escape is our only real option out of the selection provided.

You grab a bit of lead pipe as a improvised weapon and chase after Maiya. Crawling through a narrow escape tunnel as the sound of pulserifle and lasfire continues behind you.
Clutching your shallow knife wound, you press on. The tunnel drops into another corridor, you land on the concrete with a soft thud turning around Maiya.
She points a combat knife at you with both trembling hands.

We should call her out on her hypocrisy. She has no right to call us an traitor when she's sided with the chaos cultists. How can she say we sided with them over our own kind when she's forfeitted her soul to a literal daemon god called "Prince of Excess"?

We did what we had to do to protect all those innocent humans from being dragged into hell by the things she worships. We didn't want to work with the Fire Caste, we didn't want to lie to her, we had to because she CHOSE to follow the chaos gods.

I mean, fucks sake, you'd think she would realize the people who worship a deity of excess and earthly pleasures, carry around torture devices (which they use on themselves) and sacrifice people were not good.

I reallly wish we could save her, i do, but she was all tattooed with slaanesh stuff. There's no way she's getting saved from her owner, not here in Tau space with no access to religious stuff.

She is clearly scared and has gotten in over her head with this cult. She probably just hates the tau more then she worships a chaos gods. As I said before she didn't stay and fight.

You guys are baseing your choices on meta knowledge our character wouldn't have about chaos, he would probably think big E could easily save her soul if she repents and does his work. The specifics of what happens to mortal souls is extremely vague anyway, 40k lore is always left to interruptation on purpose.

what are you talking about, most guardsmen are kept in the dark about chaos and have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes, same for normal citizens. Commissioners execute guardsmen that know about chaos. Slannish is probably a name we heard through gossip and hearsay, we know its BAD and heretical but we don't actually know SHIT. If we actually say a demon down here our minds would have been blown.

>she has tattoos
She is in the cult so she has tattoos yeah. If I went to prison and joined some skinheads because they are the ONLY GAME IN TOWN that doesn't mean I would identify with the prison tattoo swastikas I now have all over my body. Im just trying to survive prison.

It going to turn out that she lost a brother or something in the Tau attack and she got recruited by some cult who has the means for her to get revenge. Young + impressionable doesn't = irredeemable.

>>5080518

>Turn of wire
>Disarm her
First chaos's biggest threat is knowlegde itself. Just by knowing about it the dark gods can whisper to you (dreams, etc), And slowly deform your perspective of things.
A low level cultist is no more than a simple citizen of the empire a simple ... Pawn. If you look at it this way:
Aliens invaded our planet, our god Emperor could'nt protect us, and somebody forming undergound resistance and they say if you pray to them instead you will have the power to repell the enemy (and they can literary show their unnatural abilities).

I say turn of wire, disarm her and... Well just talk to her. Maybe she has usefull info. First we need info to their other bases. Second we can turn her in, let the fire caste deal with her (might get some merits).
If she resist we can still kill her.

>>5081008
>turning her over to the fire caste
Not a good idea, i feel. She still has knowledge of the chaos gods, she literally filled herself with chaos tattoos. She's a cultist.

That means sadly, we gotta put her down. She cannot be allowed to share her dark knowledge.

>>5080518
>Chaos is called the ARCHenemy for a reason, Maiya. All the demons' gifts are poisoned; to turn to them is the the greatest error one can make, no matter the circumstances. The cult does not serve mankind, and this small glimpse already showed me far worse than anything the Tau could come up with. Do not barter your soul to false saviours, for salvation can only come through the Emperor.
That should get through to her and reveal whether there is anything left to save. It should be fine with the Tau due to their views on religious freedom, so there's no reason to turn the wire off.

Remember that the local head of the Administratum is involved in the chaos worship, and there's almost certainly a whole bunch of cults and cells. She probably knows much more about them, and her support would be invaluable in rooting them out. We'd obviously have to keep her on a short leash anyway, but since the Tau themselves have told us that the serious chaos worshippers cannot be redeemed to the greater good, I don't worry much about them allowing her to get away or do chaos things.
I do not expect a miracle, but since we've got our bases covered, we can try anyway. Maybe we can turn her around, maybe we'll have to put her down.

>>5081088
That's the problem though, even if she felt sorry, the chaos gods would still find a way to fuck us all over. Even if she was redeemed, they'd do something solely to keep her from getting away.

I don't think there's anything that can save her, even if she gives up on chaos.

>>5081091
Only the Emperor can save her, that much is true. But even if her soul isn't saved, she can still be useful. A list of other cults would be invaluable. Like I said, we can still put her down, and the Tau will certainly keep her on a very short leash, so there's little risk.
Turning her into our waifu would obviously be an incredibly stupid idea. Anyone who wants that should fap before posting.

>>5080518
>Attack

>>5081105

>>5081091
> the chaos gods would still find a way to fuck us all over.
The gods don't care. If even a single cultist has the full backing of the chaos gods then it would already be over

You slowly advance towards her, as she retreats step by step into the darkness.
"You have no right to call me a traitor. Of all mankind's enemies, heretics are the worst of all. You are the traitor."
"Traitor to whom? He has given us NOTHING Vaede, can you not see it?"
"He has given us a place at his side in the next life. Your cult threatened that covenant for everyone! I had no choice but to side with them."
"Slaanesh offers an afterlife as well." she stammers.
"All lies, you know this Maiya. You have damned yourself. Let me give you the Emperor's peace and save your immortal soul."
"You're going to kill me?!" She steps back, bumping into a deadend behind her.
"It's the only way."
"N-NO! All I ever wanted was a life. Do you have any idea what it's like being an Imperial Clerk? Nothing but an endless mind numbing flood of papers and forms day after day. Nothing but tasteless Basedlens rations and water. The only stimulation was the drugged up recaf they fed me. My fondest memory was getting my first paper cut. I want to live Cas. To feel excitement, comradery, fear, hate and suffering. Like you."
"The Emperor grants life eternal. It's not too late. Return to him."
The traitor falls to her knees and drops her knife. "If I'm going to die here... I want to return to the Emperors side."

>>5082753
She knows too much, doesn't she? Even knowledge of the chaos gods can damn you. She fell once. What are the chances she might fall again? Her life is gone anyway - the Tau know she's an cultist, so she's either getting brainwashed, "Interrogated" or executed, possibly all three.

Give her the final rites and the emperor's peace, quickly.

>>5082753

>Turn off wire
>After that take her knife away
>Recruit her
She cannot be trusted! However we need an inside man to erradicate all cultist activity.
If she tries tries anything kill her!
(I wonder if her tattoes are real or can be washed of. Either way her soul is probably lost)

>>5082791
If her soul is lost, why would you trust her to be our inside man? Won't she just relapse?

>noooo we need to forgive the chaos cultist she said she was sowwy :.cccc

>>5082753
>Execute her
I see no reason to spare her. We have plenty of other associates, and they are neither Slaaneshi cultists, nor on the Tau's shitlist.
Speaking of the Tau, I see no mention of us turning the wire off, so they are gonna ask after her if we whisk her away. It's really not worth going through all the trouble for a fucking Chaos cultist of all things.
Giving her a quick death and sending her to the emperor is mercy enough.

>>5082753
>Execute her

We don't have universe meta knowledge, if our mc kills her then he is a murderer.

>>5082858

>heretics repent then die

>>5082753
>leave her
The most reasonable decision. Sink or swim.

>>5082863
If things actually worked that way you wouldn't need commisars or a chain of command. The imperial guard are just normal people from all sorts of backgrounds and worlds.

I would understand if the vote was to turn her over to the tau. But to kill this hapless woman in a dark corner is murder. If the mc is capable of beating her to death with a pipe then I'm out lol.

>>5082883
handing her over to the Tau is even more evil than a quick execution

>>5082831
>>5082834
Let's not forget that she probably knows a lot about the cults that almost certainly exist throughout the former Administratum. Even if we kill her, we should at least get that intel first.

I'm for recruiting her - repent through actions, not death. Doesn't mean we should trust her.

>>5082887
This.

>>5082753
>Execute her
DIE you servant of Slaanesh

>>5082887
I agree on asking her about the cult, but other than that, she should die here. Way too risky - and the Tau will do her in anyway, so it's a mercy.

>>5082885
In a not-meta way, how would we know that? Keep in mind we're a (former) enemy combatant that has been treated fairly well by a conquering force.

>>5082753

>>5082753
I'm gonna urge the lot of us here to think carefully and avoid shitflinging. Let's weigh the options and consider.

If we decide to offer her redemption, it ain't gonna be all hugs and forgiveness. The only way it would be tolerable is for her to remove those markings: A process which will be incredibly painful because the Tau won't do it, and it will leave her horribly scarred. Additionally, I don't think it's even remotely within our ability to ensure she is free from corruption. I'm not sure how possible that is even with the best equipment and knowledge available. We might be able to give her a more noble chance at redemption than merely Big E's mercy, but chaos might always have a hold on her. Additionally, if the other ex-guardsmen or those still loyal to the Emperor find out we spared a heretic, things are gonna be really bad for us. We might not be able to get any support from anyone else anymore, if they don't outright accuse us of heresy ourselves. The same goes for the Tau if they learn we spared one of the cultists. We run a big risk letting her live, as much as my morality leans me to that.

On the other hand, putting her down guarantees she cannot be fully consumed by chaos further down the line, thereby saving her soul from complete damnation. It means there is no possible vessel left for something from the warp to take advantage of—and if some kind of daemon can it will. It's a sure means of saving her from corruption, but the cost of it is obvious. We also have to consider that it might fuck Cas up a bit to do so. I don't know if it's ever been stated how much combat experience he has, but killing an unarmed young woman, even if it's still a mercy, is gonna weigh on him. I don't know what else there is to factor in, but I'd like to see what other anons have to say to this.

>>5083104
>We also have to consider that it might fuck Cas up a bit to do so
He's a guardsman. He knows about chaos, too. Way i see it, in this GREEMDARK universe, giving her the Emperor's Peace is the best mercy.

Again, i have to repeat it, if we let her go the Tau will most surely send her to brainwash camp.

>>5083104
The only way to get rid of tattoos is flames.

Moral compunctions aside, I thought players might consider recruiting her because of her insider knowledge and the fact she knows the locations of valuable weapon caches out in the ruins.
Anyway looks like execute won the vote ez, I'll write the update later.

"Emperor, forgive me."
You pick up the knife gripping it tightly.
"The Emperor protects the faithful."
You cut her throat. The end was swift.
You climb up the ladder nearby into the light...

"Have you finished writing your report, Gue'la?"
Shas'la Tash leans over the desk expectantly.
"Yes alien, I take these matters seriously. Now, are we finished here?"
The fire warrior gets out his holochron.
"It is my duty to inform you" he says reading off his device, "Feliciations Gue'Cas, your demerits have been removed and your social debt to Tau has been paid. 10 merits have been deposited in your account."
"Ten? Are you serious?"
"Do not interrupt! - Thank you for your service, loyal citizen. Stand tall and take pride in the your humble role in todays victory."
"Wait, what happened. Did you finish them all off? Did you find any leads on their co-conspirators?"
(The place Maiya took you wasn't even the main base the ratlings told you about. And their leader Gallius is probably still alive. Who knows how many more cultists are lurking under the city, and in plain sight.)
"That is the concern of the Fire Caste, human. You may now return to your habitation unit."

Trying to press him for info is just going to end badly, he's some dumb grunt. We can hand the info to an fire caste that isn't an brainwashed retard - we know those exist, with how often they defect to the Farsight Enclaves.

>>5083820

There's no need to play our cards right this second.
We can take some time to plan and observe how the situation develops - see what moves the Tau make and how the cult responds.

Whatever xenos nigger.

>>5083824
The Tau aren't stupid. Out of their depth, yes, but not stupid. They wouldn't have survived this long if they were. The problem is that we're stuck dealing with the low-level retards. It'd be like having to deal with manufactorum slavedrivers and low-level tech priests.

What we need is to find an tau who isn't retarded. I mean, there was an Human who managed to climb the Tau ranks enough to get a custom Crisis Suit.

You fucking morons, pressing him for info will just get us demerits. We just got them removed.

>>5083800
>leave
We are just some random human, there is no way they will share their info.
And giving them info will just get us in trouble.
We will just have to keep an eye on the cult ourselves.

For what it's worth, our newfound good standing with the Tau would probably be useful to a great deal of people, we could capitalise on that to make contacts.

We probably got less merits because they listened to our conversation with Maiya

>>5083912
If they cared about it, they wouldn't have given us any merits at all. What's happening here is that we're dealing with some low-level grunt who probably doesn't even know the importance of what we did.

His reply hurts our feelings. We just did a major service, 10 merit points worth, but it feels like he doesn't trust us at all. Honestly, what's the point of merits if Tau like him are still prejudiced against us.

If he shared info with us, like on other possible cultists, then we can maybe put some dots together for them.

But if they're still gonna treat us like this, we'll have to file a complaint to their Commissar equivalent.

>>5084093
