"The bounty hunter you killed? Sweetheart theyve been looking for the ones I killed for months, doesnt mean they found anything. Or is your clean up not as meticulous as mine? Regardless I agree, as much as I dont like the look of this ship and I am still unable to trust you. Im intrigued by this venture you suggest and will accompany you."

She walks calmly past him. He makes as if to touch her but she raises a finger to his mask and shakes it slowly.
"None of that you silly boy. I dont want to have to break someting you may need."

Theo laughed he liked this girl. "The kill was clean, but he was an imperial bounty Hunter, so we better move before my ship isnt allowed to leave", Theo said. He moved behind her and entered the ship. He moved through the crew quarters which was small, into the pilots box. He keyed the ignition and the ship roared to life. It lifted off the ground and blasted into the sky.

Lotus hated ships, it was the only reason she had stayed on this rock, she couldnt be bothered going through the mild frustration of space flight. She hated not being able to fly when she wanted and generally not being able to be free. Unfortunatley being cooped up in a ship just makes her cranky, Unfortunatley for everyone else that is.

sorry, the rakghouls are on taris couruscant has giant rats...and...things *cough*eventplace*cough*

Sorry bouft the name, haven't played in forever. But giant rats really. I hate rats. Anyhow

IC: Theo laughed he could feel the tension rising off of the girl. He knew her weakness, not being able to control her fate. He would use that if necessary. Theo watched as he passed an imperial star destroyer. Luckily it let him pass, and he activated the hyper drive. It thumped into life and shot them through space to courasant.

Lotus was concious of the mans awareness of her frustration. But that diddnt matter. He was still weaker and slower than her. And she was on his ship. Usually that would mean he was in control but they both knew that she could wait till they were near the surface before firing an EMP which owuld send the ship hurtling to the ground and even this Theo couldnt survive that. She however could simply escape the ships confines and activate her jump jets.

She smiled to herself, a cold smile that would send shivers down the spines of those who saw it, not that anyone did. Her hands drifted to her belt and she clasped a vial between her fingers and brought it up to the light. The measure of blood stored in the vial was a vaulable one. 37 years, a very good vintage. Quite rare to have a sample that Exact age. usually the marks were n their 20's or 40s, very rarely late thirties. IT was one she was saving for a special occaision. But not yet. She replaced the vial before moving lthely to the cockpit, unconcerned about the reentry bucking of the vessel.
"How long till were on the surface?"

Tarvan's World: Segmentum Obscurus: M42


With a great thudding, basalisk fired into the square, armed with deadly VOID rounds, that flung the victims into the emperyan itself, Scaveolea stood and raised his blade.
“This Hunt ends here,” he proclaimed “but it will continue, until the emperor is cast from his deathless throne”

Octavius raised his plasma pistol in a single hand. “Traitor.” Was the only word, before he sent a hail of plasma bolts into the Black legionary’s chest. The superheated gas tore through power armor, and would have vaporized Scaveolea.
It was not to be.
The rounds simply passed into the void, when they hit the armor, turning into nothing.
“Curse’ed by the Dark Gods am I” said Scaveola. “curse’ed by eternal life.”
With this, the traitor raised his weapon. The rest of the squad gathered to watch, and imperial fists tore through the Lost and Damned to get to them…a Void shell hit the earth between them…and all was night

Theo laughed as they neared the surface. A ship was blasted out of space, by a cruiser. Theo turned in response to the girl. "Well whenever I can get us there. I dont have an exact time", Theo said with a smile tempting her to activate the emp. Theo would just activate his life boat and the cockpit of the vessel would seal off and he'd be launched to the nearest ship, which he would commandeer.

(Idiot the lifeboat wont work because all its systems would be wiped, and dont worry i wont, cant be bothered tbh)

She shrugged. And decided to have some fun. She dragged her finger along his cheek, slowly, tantalizingly. She knew he wouldnt have... relieved himself in a long time. These men never knew when to attend to themselves. Her smile widened as she felt his traitorous body react to her touch. She took the finger away and walked to her quarters slowly swaying her hips a little extra for added effect. She laughs quietly to herself inside her mask. She loved controlling the sensations of those around her. Usually it was fear or if she was feeling especially "in the mood" Hope. Unfortunatley hope was always crushed and fears were never anything like the reality.

Its a simple switch system that you pull and the bolts are instantly vaporized and the cockpit disengages. Its a system that pirates have on most ships. Anyhow

IC: Theo cursed himself. He had let her get to him. He turned back around ignoring the added show. He would have to kill her for that, but when her usefulness was up, or if her worth was worth more than the credits.

(Yes youll be able to disengage it from the ship but the actual systems in the lifeboat wont work, youll just be plummetingto your death in a different craft.)

(IC) She ducked into the quarters assigned to her and fully decided to let the fool use her for a while. Let him work her like a superior. But she had other plans...

(A lifeboat would be like the SWTCW episode 'Malevolence' limited air supply.)

Its systems aren't needed. I have a full system in my suit. The pod itself lures other ships to it, and Theo then boards and commandeer it.

Theo sighed that girl was going to have to learn that he didnt care what she did. He could resist her and he certainly wasn't playing her games. He decided he was going to let her go. If she wanted to, but after he brought her to his employer for conformation. He wanted her gone. He didnt care what happened to her once she was quote and quote dead.

(You dont comprehend, engines umm anything and everything that has any form of electronics at all would be wiped out. The EMP would wipe the systems in your suit, anything the pod could use to darw other ships to it engines everything. You would be in a coffin falling towards the ground...)

Lotus waited patiently for the ship to land and when it was she disembarked onto the landing platform of her favorite city. This place was a girls dream. But for Lotus it was a dream for different reasons. Not for the shopping or the shows. But for the endless layers of buildings to fly around. It was like a thrill seekers hideaway.

She waited for Theo to get close and then she linked her arm with his. Her suit taking on the appearance of a light floaty dress and him in casual formal attire for customs. The benift of her suit doing this was that her weapons and Jumpjets would be concealed perfectly until she needed them. She smiled fakely at the men asking her questions which she answered with even falser cheeryness. Soon however they were out of the customs building and she gently disengaged herself from his arm her suit returnign to its normal form. Strangely noone could concentrate on her face if they tried even if you conciously made an effort to look her directly i the eye you couldt remember her face afterwards. A result of not actually being able to see it as the hologram projector also had a mild neuro altering subdermal flicker that prevented people from remembering what she looked like and her form would be difficult to distinguish on a camera.

After unlinking thier arms she fired her jets and gently hovered, enjoying the sensation.
"Where to now big boy?"

(boy is she ticking him off )

(its a skill that cant be taught XD)

Theo laughed, he was still in the formal disguise. "Girl we're going down to the underlevel. So put a stormtrooper disguise on. They wont let you pass without it. Oh and we're going to have you marked as dead so the price on your head is dropped. Compliments of myself, for you are making me a small fortune", Theo said. He walked over to the seaports exit elevator and keyed a switch. The elevator doors opened and two stormtroopers were waiting for them to enter and designate the level. The two had already disguised as stormtroopers, so they instantly were lowered to the underlevel.

Scaveola awoke to a snarling sound, behind him was the tearing of flesh, and a pitiful gurgling. Looking around, he identified the sound. It was ferrox. He had butchered some xenoform animal and was sucking out its organs. A stormy sky was above him, with thousands of airspeede4rs flying though the air.
“Larssus?” he called. His lieutenant groaned. The man had been dropped in between a pair of crackling power conduits, and had been badly fried. He seemed to be able to stand, but was wincing slightly, there were only three figures near them, one was Opus, the massive bull of a marine shouldering his autocannon. The second was a Lotaxl mercenary, famous for their skills in battle. A small band had accompanied the hunters on their crusade. And was pacing the area on all fours, its blaster vest humming slightly, the third was Surgit, who was unconscious after the fall.

Not sparing a moment, Scaveola marched to the base of one of the massive buildings, it showed an aesthetically pleasing xeno female, with some sort of fleshy tails on it’s head, Scaveola could not make heads or tails of the blocky writing.

Chaos Space Marines worked with xenos on a day-to-day basis, and had embraced the all-encompassing equality of chaos. Scaveola had fought alongside orks, dark eldar, lotaxl, jokaero, kroot and more. Scaveola’s warband was an oddity, he disliked war itself, and longed for peace and a rest, but when he had tried to end his curse, by allowing himself to be killed by the gene-ancestor of his Battle Brother Aleph, of the Imperial Fists, he was cursed to immortality, for the enjoyment of the gods he had so rashly embraced.

Perhaps this was a xenos city, where he would not have to slaughter beings for every waking moment. He would have to leave Ferrox in the undercity, but journey to the top to ascertain his bearings…quickly finding the door, he motioned for Opus and Larssus to bring the unconscious Surgit with them and the Lotaxl to cover the rear as they entered the elevator…





(This is actually a canon character.)

Lotus' favorite vibro sword was in her right hand. The weapon was about 2 feet long and was exceptionally light for what it was. The other was slung on her left hip waiting a hand to draw it. It was slightly shorter and her fighting style needed this difference in length as she led with her left shoulder often meaning that the weapon in her right hand needed to be longer for across body jabs. However that was academic as she often simply shot her victems or performed dizzing acrobatics that her marks, her games, couldnt hope to keep up with.

The weapon was incunspicuous and inline with what other storm troopers carried. The fall of the Empire and rise of the Jedi order had also led to a rise in apprentice siths, Serving some master deep in darkspace who seemed to be untrackable. The use of Vibro swords was extensive and was a common way to keep the streets and tiers of the galaxy safe from lightsaber wielding enemies.

As they desended down they saw a massive flash of light and she looked sideways at Theo, who looked at her. The two may not like each other much but they respected each other enough to be able to work side by side if need be.
The flash of light had been like nothign she had ever seen and she could have sworn she saw some kind of battle field in the light.

They reached the bottom and moved out side by side Lotus Vibroswords drawn and now in her normal appearance with Theo beside her, his strange wrist blades extended.

They rounded a corner and were confronted with the strangest sight they had ever seen. A group of massive humanoids wearing truly outlandish armour were getting to their feet. One was gnawing greedily at some kind of corpse.
Lotus tensed imperceptibly. She had never seen creatures like this before.

??? Canon characters? What that?

(Heroes of the space marines, short story 'honor among friends' the character is my favorite CSM)

Ah. Anyhoo

Theo watched as two lumbering behemoths entered the elevator. They had odd markings, and were covered in blood. The two true stormtroopers opened fired. Theo dropped and shot his smg into one of the lumbering figures face. It all deflected off the helmet it was wearing and hadnt even scratched it. Theo jumped out under one and got up. He then activated his camouflage and shot out his wrist blades.

Lotus decided to use slightly different tactics, jumping witha short burst of power from her jumjes she launched over the strange warriors and lopped of the extended intakes of thier backpacks before pirroueting in midair slicing through the wrists of one of the warriors. The moment she hit the ground she rolled backwards avoiding a salvo of potent small arms fire from what appeared to be a rapid fire rocket launcher.

Her body was buffeted but the ripple of explosions but she meerly flipped backwards again landing on her feet and bringing her rifle up firing a eries of quick powerful shots into the stumps of the mans arms which then explode gorily.

Theo had moved up behind the now handless giant and ran his hand blades through its eye pieces. It garbled and collapsed. The other one went to grab him, but Theo jumped off and landed, rolling. Suddenly a huge group of the same looking gaints materialized. Theo paled. This wasn't going to be fun.

The strange warriors opened fire. With a bellow of rage, Opus lifted his autocannon and hacked two of them down while one of them shot a bladelike weapon out of it’s gauntlets. The Lotaxl fired its fletchet blaster and the impacts sent the man stumbling he was then tackled by the enraged killer, and they both tumbled over the edge.
The man shot a wirelike weapon up the shaft and began to ascend back to the top. Howling in rage, the lotaxl leaped up after him, clawing it’s way up the shaft. The third stormtrooper jumped onto Larssus’s faceplate while he stared at his mangled arm, and kicked of with jetpacks, shooting up the shaft, while an enraged opus fired his fully automatic artillery after her.

Oops ninja'd you sorry. I'll rewrite my part in a SEC.

Lotus giggles as the enraged warrior trys furiously to shake her but she doesnt let go. The strange mans weapon had fallen down the shaft long ago and she was in complete control. The sensuality of the annoyanceroiling off of him was like sexual tension that could be cut with a knife. Of course she could cut something of his with a knife but she chose not to. And simply dropped him instead. The angry warrior feel 23 stories and Lotus was mildly dissapointed when he landed on his feet in a low crouch. She srugged and simply put a bullet though his head annoyed that he had denied her her fun.

She swooped back down avoiding the tracers of the massive weapon that one of the warriors was using and looped aorund him her blade caressing the barrels of the weapon and it abruptly stopped firing as the ammo feed clanked off. She laughed coldly as she accellerated back up the shaft. Seeing Theo being chased however she sighs and plucks him out of the shaft before the strang ecreature can get him. But rather than putting him down she throws him at the creatures back...

who was that that you shot? (scaveola can not be killed convetionally, opus has a solid adamantium plated skull ho he can headbutt landraiders...larsuss wears a helmet and Surgit is uncontious.)

well I will say that Larssus was nor wearing a helmet.

Theo laughs as he jumps on the back of the beast. Its outer shell was metal, but it couldn't hold up against his claws, which dug into its eyes. The thing started spamming and its grip released from the wall. Theo jumped off its back and propelled himself back to the top. He climbed up and saw that another group of the giants had appeared. He cursed and did a flip as one fired its weapon.

OOC: oh I'ma leaving so I wont be on for a while. Tyranic can RP for me as. Long as you dont get me killed.

(No sorry i dont feel comfortable RPing others when im not GM, this will have to lie dormant for a while. Speaking of dormant the rifle fires explosive rounds and she would have double tapped aiming for the skull and neck
