Sorry about the disappearance but end-of-year stuff so I might struggle to post anything for a while still.

++The Empyrean seems particularly unruly towards this area of space, but by the grace of the Emperor we are whole.++

++It is little more than an exchange of pleasantries and an inquiry borne out of simple curiosity: are you aware just what is going on dirtside that's causing lights that can be seen from orbit? Or, more importantly and less specifically, just how perilous is the surface for resupply at the moment?++

Oh, I was assuming we'd be basing the plague stuff off Medicae and wait for the trip to resume.

Easy enough to represent mechanically (Ogryn from Only War with low int but high skill), but unless someone is making an Acquisition test NPCs of any stripe are going to be less competent then PCs for obvious reasons.

Also the Owlcat game released. Rejoice.

That's fair. IIRC, you just use the Crew Rating by default for crew tests, since any random crewman is as perfectly capable at anything as every other one. Somehow.

I'm gonna wait and see since there's always bugs and I've already seen some people say the game was released undercooked.

Not sure. Dark humor and horrible puns whenever they aren't being depressed by the realities of fighting a shipborne plague?

I forgot to ask but anything specific I should set up for us to move on? Since I doubt anyone has an actual Medicae skill I'll leave the plague-fighting to the ship's chief Medicae.

Then again I sorta assumed my talk with Spin was finished and I forgot to ask if that was the case.

"I turned away and left. Whatever it desires, it won't find here." Marco says with a frown. Being a Warp voyager from a family of Battlefleet lineage, Marco still knows more about daemons than the average Imperial citizen—whose knowledge about Warp terrors is likely none. Press-ganged crew usually already have troubles just with the occasional nightmares that have gotten ever more frequent with the clouding of the Astronomicon...

"Daemons are vile liars. I advise you to forget whatever it told you; even if it's spoken the truth it's only in the hope of bringing damnation in the future. Indaria listened and found her end through heresy."

"Yes, we have to keep collecting them and it is promised as a way to finally end Chaos. I was quite skeptic about the talk of ending the hidden source of heresies—and least non-xeno heresy—but by all accounts the order for the mission is legitimate."

"We have a representative, a jester-like eldar, aside from Kedia who is responsible for monitoring the results and supplying us with information, and the Dynasty's Warrant has been granted an amendment penned by the Regent himself that's been signed by an authority that stands high enough in the xeno hierarchy it has for the first time I have ever heard of made the eldar actually cooperative instead of elusive."
