"Well at least I can tell immediately you are infact one of the smarter ones." Laughed the Eldar Lord

"I thought it was funny cause it's true... Mostly" pondered the Eldar Lord "But alas, we should put aside our petty differences if we are to capture the traitors. Unless you want me to help them?"

**Ultrafool**

Wulls, yous is nexos, but i tinks yous uses yours majical pewers to kill da nice coommanda, did yous?

**Owain**

Owain sighs and indicates the Eldar's restraints.

Now, look here. There's no sign of tampering here. I know you're loath to trust a xeno, but there's no way he committed this murder. Like it or not, there IS a traitor in our midst, or several. The sooner we root them out, the better.

**Owain**

OOC: Ratlings are not in any way mentally impaired. Just thought you should know that by making your character mentally impaired you're making him uncharacteristic of his race. If you meant to do that, carry on.

**Ultrafool**

OOC: he is not mentally impaired, he just has a bad at grammar. But whatever.

And who yous suppose to bes sir.

Because we know at least one traitor is amongst us. Statistically it's more likely that I'll vote for a traitor by picking someone I think is a traitor then by not picking anyone like the rest of you suntanned uphivers. Why does my vote on you seem to cause such unease? Do you have something you're hiding from us?

(OOC Drk_Oblitr8r - I'm somewhat lost on this part of the game. Are we obligated/supposed to interact with the Eldar prisoner, or are we playing a more conventional game of Genestealer? Or is part of the game the lack of being aware what's going on?)

**Arctik_Firangi**

:Unimpressed by the captive's enigmatic doublespeak, the robed figure sighs audibly and closes his book, once again carrying the weighty volume with his non-mechanised arm:

"If this alien wishes to be helpful, he will do so in his own time. I care not whether it dies on Terra or upon this ship... if the doomed creature has other priorities it will act with more than haughtiness... well, mayhaps we ought ignore its words until they begin to make sense..."

:Leering at Orkeo and Ultrafool:

"...There are, as it is, enough fools on this ship - let there be no further made. Companions, stay your salival glands for now. Would an Ogryn not make a prime target for an intelligent gene-snatcher that wishes to go unnoticed? Or what of this illiterate halfling abhuman? In any case, I do not know if I could tolerate the presence of either for much longer. Not on top of this schizophrenic Lord-Loss character, who claims to be either a Guardsman, or of the blood of the Twelve... What, precisely, is your business on Terra, Lord-Loss? Ultrafool?"

**Manchu**

A small woman with frail features and white hair shorn into a bob steps up among you. A fleur de lis tatoo under her right eye sets her apart as a Daughter of the Emperor. Noticing the Eldar and Smash's corpse at his bound feet, she grimaces.

"Gentlemen, I had not realized we might require the assistance of Ordo Xenos. The late commander here assured my superior that he had assembled a more than adequate team for this mission." She surveys the rest of the group with evident skepticism before crouching down to inspect Smash's corpse.

"Throne only knows how you managed this, alien witch," she mutters, never bothering to dignify the captive Eldar with so much as a glance. She stands up and turns to the rest. "Pardon my lack of manners. I am Sister Initiate Joan, Order of the Holy Seal."

*Edit: Spelling

(OOC: You don't have to, but if you do it right, it might actually be useful. Also, the Eldar is there to trigger some random events.)

**ghosty**

*looks at the adeptus mechanicus closely*
those are some fancy gadgets...... and that mechandarite seems to be one of the F-47 classes....i thought they were banned...
*seems to make a decision*
either way, i actualy believe the xenos. its not in its best interests to lie to us is it? and mechanicus? i wouldnt mock the ogryn and the ratling for their weaknesses in eh...speach. they may not forgive and forget....
*makes a clear sign of his decision, by walking over to the two subhumans*

What makes you so sure they're to be trusted? You might be standing next to a traitor there?

WHAT IS GENE SNATCHER?

**Lord-Loss**

So Thor, by trying to learn everyone's names, stories and job Im being suspicous?

What business do I have on Terra?

Bringing back this xenos filth and seeing him executed

::Kicks Eldar Lord::

**ghosty**

i trust them, because back where i came from i knew an ogryn. not as bright as orkeo, but he was a mate all the same. once you got past the manners (or lack of them) theyre not so much different from you or i. and the ratling...well its a well known fact that ratlings are loyal.

**lord of the ghosts**

I'M HUGRY!!!
and tired...
I shall retire to my bed, er, cot

Using past experience with an ogryn in order to judge a new ogryn is bigoted and shows incorrect logic. Just because the last human I met shook my hand doesn't mean the next one I meet will do the same. Also, wouldn't a supposedly loyal race also be the best option for a cover story for a traitor? I'd like to see the traitor(s) dead rather then sitting around waiting for them to come and pick us off one by one ::spits at the Eldar:: presuming of course we're not just in some strange mind hoo-ju of the skinny xenos here. In any case, I figure anything that could kill the commander isn't going to have much trouble with any of us if it catches us alone.

(OOC c'mon guys, I'm still the only vote out there. Unless you expect someone's back story to include "by the way, I'm a traitor" you might as well throw out some random votes to see if you can get any reactions from people - who tries to buddy up or protect someone, who seems a little too sure about their vote and why. That's about the only way to really find traitors/genestealers/scum. We don't want to lynch anyone right away at this stage, but generally speaking some early votes are what helps drive functional conversation.)

**lord of the ghosts**

I might vote thor!!
he dosen't care for the death of others!!

**Thor665**

::Takes a long slow chew, a bit of the stinky root juice dribbles out of his lip.::
The Hive doesn't look kindly upon those unable to stand up for or protect themselves against her many threats.

Are you actually going to man up enough to put that vote on me? Or are you just edging around the thought to see if someone will back you up? Why don't you want to just put a vote on me?

**Ultrafool**

mmm thor, yous seems a bitz hesatint words others dontcha, enquiung dat sir lard-lose is da keller, witch in trun wells put moar about otheas.

**Lord-Loss**

Thor, your are suspicous but not worthy of my vote yet.

You seem to be trying to create confusion, as votes flying everywhere does.

...eh?

(OOC - I appreciate your goal to be in character - but honestly I'm not even sure what you're saying to me here. Could you maybe add a translation or something at the bottom of posts? Here's what I'm translating;

"mmm, Thor, you seem a bit hesitant towards others, don't you? Inquiring that sir Lord-Loss is the killer, which in turn will put more about others."

I'm sure I'm wrong because that makes no sense to me. I'm hesitant for wanting votes? And the second sentence seems to make no sense.)

Lord-Loss wrote:You seem to be trying to create confusion, as votes flying everywhere does.

Confusion, eh? I thought that was the xeonos' game ::spits at the xenos::. If you think casting a vote will cause suspicion and confusion then how exactly do you feel we should go about starting the investigation?

(OOC - the random voting stage RVS, is the normal start for these style of games for reasons I've already stated.)

[Yeah, maybe you should make sure you're only altering spelling/grammar in a way that could be noticed in spoken language? For instance, spelling which as "witch" doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as the words sound exactly the same, and the difference could never be noticed in an oral conversation.]

**Ultrafool**

OOC: yeah will do.

I haz ment to sayz that yous makin people speaks moars so we has moars evidance to acuse dem, iz dat yours plans?

Translation

[I meant to say that you are you are making people speak more so that we have more verbal evidence to accuse them with, is that your plan?]

**Arctik_Firangi**

:The robed figure splays open his tome once more and begins to rifle through pages:

"Greetings Sister Joan, Initiate of the Seal... Lord-Loss, which of the Holy Twelve is your removed kin?"

Up until now, the robed figure spoke with an electronic tone from somewhere within his heavy shawl, but now, for the first time, he opens his mouth to speak with his own tongue.

"For the time being, this oversized brute is a great threat should he turn out to be the pawn of a hostile interloper in this rather... enclosed space. I am not comfortable in its presence, and I must lobby for it to be at least detained."

{Vote: Orkeosaurus}

**Orkeosaurus**

ORKEO NOT BE PAWN. ORKEO IS TOO SMART FOR ALIEN TRICKS.

MAYBE YOU ALIEN, WITH METAL PARTS COVERING UP THE ALIEN PARTS?
