Now let's a get a grip. The last thing we want is to get panicked and start making irreversible decisions--which is to say, exactly what the enemy wants. The more of us we kill among ourselves, the less work for the nasties--and the closer our own souls to the warp. ::shudders:: Let's avail ourselves of the example of the Most Just Majesty and take the time to hear out each man among us. If some won't talk, then we'll put the screws in. If they still won't, no bother to string 'em up as a likely traitor. One way or another, the criminal mind shows itself so be watchful rather than hasty.

**Mekboy**

Manchu, you're right! If the God-Emperor and Savior of Mankind had not guided you so, we might have been aidig these... these... monstrosities!
(Once again clapses icon) Thank you, Emperor, for protecting your humble servants from aiding their foes.

**Manchu**

Well, Mekboy, I take it you volunteer. What's your story?

**Gornall**

I see no fault in accusing the suspicious and gauging their response rather than worrying about trying to be civil when heretics intend to kill us in our sleep. If this desire to be upfront in voicing my concerns makes me suspicious of being a traitor to the Emperor, than so be it. However, for all of my anger, my desire to dismantle the robot is only half-hearted... for now. I do not know whether he is a traitor or simply annoying, but I do know I could think clearer without his babbling in the background. In the interest of being thorough, I will rescind my vote until evidence presents itself... or my annoyance level rises.

OOC: Nothing personal, DarkLordSeanron... my character just took a dislike to your character for some reason and I decided to run with it.

**Mekboy**

I am simply a humble servant of the God-Emperor of Mankind. I used to be a hab worker on the planet of Edexus Prime. Then, one day, the Emperor himself came to me in a dream. "Mekboy" he said. "Come to most Holy Terra. Greater things are needed of you!" So I sold everything I owned apart from the clothes on my back and this icon I carry with me, and got myself a travel to Holy Terra on this ship. And now, here I am, amongst you, with nought but my faith to protect me from the evil xenos.

**Manchu**

Faith and reason, Mekboy. Gornall, what about you?

**Gornall**

I am a simple man from the agriworld Taconris. Every 100 years, our planet holds a lottery to pick one individual to travel to Terra and gain inspiration from the pilgrimage. Upon my return, I intend to uplift my people with the tales of the Emperor's magnificance and brilliance of His holy planet. Should I fail in my journey to reach Terra safely and return to home to my people, then at least I hope my efforts to uproot the heresy amongst these travelers will act as proof to my people of the Emperor's divine will for each of us and the need to be willing to sacrifice ourselves for the protection of mankind.

*Steps down off soapbox*

**Valhallan42nd**

I am fighting for the Rule of His Divine Majesty! How else do you think bullets, shells and tanks get to the front line of His Glorius Wars? My weapons are words and records, but I am no less a part of the Emperor's war effort!

Personally, since the scanners did not work to root out this heresy, I suspect our cogiter friend might not have checked the sensors quite as well as he should have.

**Valhallan42nd**

(OOC: and I'm off to play a game, so I'll be incommunicado until later today!)

**Gornall**

OOC: Time for me to be productive also. BBL

**Dark Lord Seanron**

[agreement] you prove to be most logical Manchu. The logical path is to reveal the seditious elements in our collective.

**Mekboy**

May the Emperor (may he be praised) guide our hand in finding these most heretical cultists.

**Dark Lord Seanron**

(OOC: me for tonight guys ^^ be back on tommorow, and don't panic Gornall, totally realistic relationship between the mechanicum and non-mechanicum ^^ totally cool)

**Lord-Loss**

Now for my story:

I was a mindless thug, a thief, a drunk. But then.....The Most Divine Majesty came to me in a dream.

He said to me "Lord-Loss you most travel to Holy Terra and enrole as a Priest in the The Imperial Church."

So the next day I packed my bags and went to Imperial docks to secure myself a place on a ship to Holy Terra. There I will enrole in the Imperial Church and spend my life, spreading the word of the Almighty.

**Mekboy**

Lord Loss, I see we are the same. Both of us lead unremarkable lives, untill The Most Glorious Emperor came to us. Now we seek to change our lives by this voyage. Is this not a sign?

**Orkeosaurus**

I was born with no arms or legs. I'm going to pray to the Emperor to grant me the wonderful gift of having limbs.

::regards the paraplegic with cool suspicions::
So how'd you wind up on this ship? One would think if you could afford an interstellar ride to the very center of all that is Holy, you might fix yourself up with some decent augmetics.

**Lord-Loss**

Im growing suspicous....Orkeo how do you pray with no arms?

**Orkeosaurus**

I don't need robotic limbs, because I have faith in the Emperor's beneficence. Robotic limbs are the coward's way out.

**Orkeosaurus**

I pray with my stubs and/or eyelids.

**Manchu**

There's no arguing with that, I suppose. (OOC: I can't wait to see how you and the tech-priest get along.)

**Gornall**

*Slightly taken aback by Orkeosaurus*

May the Emperor grant your prayers soon so that you can use your new limbs to smite His enemies.

**Orkeosaurus**

Thank you. Emperor Bless!

**Mekboy**

You are truly great in your faith, Orkeosaurus. May you be blessed indeed and may you not fall to the despicable, xenos loving heretics that are no doubt among us. However your story does strike me as somewhat wierd. How did you get by before you came aboard this most holy transport of His Will?

**airman**

*looks around*
Well I think I should tell you guys my story since were
going to be here for a long time.

I was born on the planet of Gavnid VII. when I was in
my teens I joined the Imperial Guard. I have fought
for our Emperor,

bless his name

, for 19 years. I was
sent back to my home planet after my right arm was
destroyed by a xeno grenade.
*looks around again*
Anybody want some food?

**Mekboy**

Airman, truly you are devout, as is shown by your work in the Guard. May the Emperor smile upon you for your slaying of the mutant, the heretic and the xenos. But how can I be sure you aren't a xenos yourself? Surely the Glorious Imperial Guard of the God-Emperor and Savior of mankind is a lifetime's work? Emperor forgive me if I do not know my place, but how can I trust that you are not a traitor out to poison us all?

**Demogerg**

As a natural born Volyan I joined the Illustrious 994th regiment at the age of 16. I fought for the Emperor in the Genestealer insurrection wars and survived against horrors beyond belief. After 40 years of combat against these genestealers my venerated squad of brothers was retired into honorable discharge.

Over these 40 years I have not had any time to spend my meager earnings, and now that my life is nearly spent I have decided to traverse the vast galaxy to the Seat of His most Holy, and visit Holy Terra.

From my experience with these creatures-most-foul I can tell you without a doubt that this murder was by hybrid genestealers, a disgusting mix of human and alien, most likely survivers from the war looking to flee and create a brood elsewhere. An utterly dispicable concept.

I'm right handed. I can write or shoot anymore.

**Mekboy**

Surely if you were devout in your faith, as every guardsmen should be, you would simply have asked for bionics, to continue in your service of the Almighty Go-Emperor?
