Too many innocent people have died.
Vote: no lynch

**Lord-Loss**

Poor Mekboy, I'l pray for him.

'Highly Suspicous Personal'

Drk8_Oblit: Most of us agree, that he suspicous.

Thats all I got, the thing is, that nobody suspected MekBoy and no-one disliked him.

**Orkeosaurus**

Yeah, MekBoy was something of an odd choice. My guess is the Stealers are exploiting that.

Goddamn Wyrd. Who let one of them on the ship anyways? What if got possessed by a "Bloodkiller" or something while we were investigating the murders?

**Lord-Loss**

So, I still feel that Drk_Oblit is suspicous and I would have voted for him yesterday but I thought LOG was a Genestealer.

So Vote: Drk8_Oblit

Personally I think Drk8_Oblit is just a
scatter-brained fool who is drawing people's
attention away from the genestealers.

I agree that we hastily killed LotG (as I said before it was done), but we aren't responsible for Mekboy's death. At least I'm not. ::narrows eyes at Airman:: I don't see how letting the chance to try to find one of the genestealers slip past us today is going to help matters. Frankly, isn't it in the best interests of the xenos that we citizens not lynch anyone?

As I said yesterday, my Vote: Drk_Oblitr8r stands until new information arises.

**Orkeosaurus**

No way in hell am I voting for Drk_Oblit. We have way too many other suspects who are more of a threat.

Let's see if the ship's logs can tell us anything about this psyker...

**Lord-Loss**

Manchu has it right, into some more evidence comes around then my vote stands.

*Typing with a stump and a hook*

Alright, let's see here... on Order of the Emperor's Most Holy Orders of the Imperial Inquisition? What the feth?

*Type type type*

Alright... there seems to be a few sentences referencing a sanctioned psyker on board. Something about a representative of the Inquisition... it doesn't say they're on the ship though, it might be a false lead.

There's a small section regarding the Officio Assassinorum as well, and a note about some... "Night Lords"? They look like some sort of cult. I don't think they're related to Genestealers though, it says Ordo Malleus... and "Xenos" is aliens, right? I mean, I know xenos are aliens, but I don't remember the orders of the Inquisition anymore, and I never learned much High Gothic. It doesn't say either of these are in relation to this ship, it looks like they're part of a larger report. They might not mean anything.

**Manchu**

::full stop::

You know about the Inquisition?

How exactly did you come across that sort of information, guardsman?

**Gwar!**

Manchu wrote:::full stop::

He just said he looked up the ships logs!

**Orkeosaurus**

They were behind the battle with the Eldar I mentioned earlier; they didn't tell us much beyond that, and that the Inquisition was to be obeyed at all times (yeah, thanks for telling us that, we couldn't have figured that out ourselves), and that there were a bunch of orders of the Inquisition (they named a few of them, but I can't remember what they were now, except I think there was a "Xenos" one), and that both this mission and this meeting were of the utmost secrecy and that we were never supposed to mention them again (which reminds me, if there actually is an Inquisition guy on board I should probably stop telling this story).

**Orkeosaurus**

And yes, as Gwar pointed out, I looked through the ship's logs for all of the information specific to our.. uh.. conundrum?

**Manchu**

Yes, I am well aware that you just were looking into the logs as I was standing here watching you do it. But I didn't understand why you spoke of "not remembering all the orders" of the Inquisition, like it was some offhand trivia. I didn't think Inquisitors were as loose-lipped about their internal organization as the ones you claim to have met. In my own experience, the very mention of the Inquisition is enough to drive chemmers and worse scurrying into their dens for a fortnight as well as setting every mid-grade chastener to polishing his citations while slavering over the possibility of being taken up as an enforcer. It seems odd to me that your supposedly average quadriplegic guardsman is privy to facts about the Holy Orders that Adeptus Abites considers strictly need-to-know information. And to be blabbering about all of this in front of at least two mortal enemies of the Imperium after being vowed to secrecy . . . I wonder more and more at your willingness to voice any thought that pops into your mind.

**Orkeosaurus**

Uh... not to sound indignant, but as I said, I was a tank commander. Not regular crew, and certainly not frontline infantry.

Only officers were briefed. And like I said, we weren't briefed on much. Never even met any of the Inquisition's henchmen, much less an Inquisitor.

**Orkeosaurus**

And no matter what I say, the Genestealers aren't getting off this ship. Battlefleet Sol won't let them past the Asteroid belt without extensive testing on everyone in the ship; and if "everyone in the ship" is two suspicious looking guys, the navigator, and a pile of corpses, they'll probably shoot them on the spot and turn the ship into scrap.

Which makes me wonder: why are they here in the first place?

**Manchu**

That's a good question. To take out an important personage perhaps? If it was to kill a sanctioned psyker, mission accomplished--and some of you here are their unwitting accomplices. How about to kill one of the temple assassins? Or an Inquisitor?

**Orkeosaurus**

Maybe some other cargo? I would suspect a lot of interesting things make their way to the Sol System. But what would Tyranids be after?

**airman**

Space Marine geneseed, or DNA samples.

**Orkeosaurus**

So we might have Gene-Stealer Genestealers on our hands?

Gaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk.....

**Lord-Loss**

The Imperial Church teachs us that we should not attempt to think like the mutation, xenos or heritic. For this is The Most Divine Majesty's Will

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

I guess LoG was right, we're kicking ourselves now. But his loss means two things.

We've lost an important ally, who may have been able to help.
I'm now the most suspected of everyone.

But most of my suspicion came from my behaviour and my background story.

But if theres one thing we've learnt, it's that we shouldn't suspect someone because their different, we should suspect someone who's the same.

Unfortunately, what I say we should do and what I do are different things, so I'm going to have to VOTE:airman I know two many innocent people have died already, but if we don't try to find out who is doing all of this, then MORE will die. Now isn't the time for Pacifism.

**Demogerg**

I was slow to set my initial vote, I had believed LotG to be an infected agent of evil, and not an undercover agent of Our Beloved Emperor.

Dark Lord Seanron and Valhallan both changed their votes to LotG after I set my vote on him in error. could this have been the work of Xenos, to jump on the bandwagon of votes? I do not know.

edited for grammer

**Ultrafool**

I knew that voting LoG was a bad choose, we have lost a powerful ally, and now mekboy is dead. May they both rest in peace.

Many people are jumping on the vote bandwagons, we should make be making more educated votes or else someone innocent will die again.

**Lord-Loss**

People are jumping on the bandwagon because we dont know nothin', we got no clues and as soon as someone gives a theory about someone and votes, we all pile in.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

There are a few I expect more than others.

Manchu, you seemed offended when people stopped suspecting me at the end of yesterday, though I beleive you had good reasons for suspecting me.

Gwar!, you're always hiding, and sometimes we barely notice you at all. You're the most obscure target, and I beleive theres a reason for it.

and airman, (see previous post)

So for the moment.

UNVOTE: airman
VOTE: Manchu
