Consortium plotline... because why not...

"And why is that?"

???: for multiple reasons. Dredd is currently unavailable. The others here are residents, not landlords, and as such, have little to no authority. And last but not least, i detect significant warp influence in you. As such, it would be unproductive, and dangerous to let you deeper inside.

"...Then may I request some form of audience with a resident?"

???: you are having one right now. /Gestures at one of the cruisers, which, what a coincidence, is a replica of the Andromeda Ascendant/

"Right...of what faction does this facility belong to?"

???: That, is an excellent question. Officially, Dredd is allied with the consortium. On the other hand, they have had little contact since that little civil war of theirs. Additionally, he constructed this station without their knowledge, approval, or aid, and no representative of theirs has set foot here, or even knows of it. So, is it a base of Dredd, or by extension, the Consortium...?

"Commander HighSkill Slayer of Undead or Shas'O Ar'Kais Korst'la'shi of the Consortium...I believe I have some Identification on my ship."

???: i know. Drones at the gateweay have already searched your ship. On the other hand, your alliance, or lack thereof, with the consortium was not among the list of reasons why i will not let you pass.

"Yes, the Chaos problem, search my mech, you will see a number of components to absorb warp energies, however it is incomplete, I was searching for any technologies I could use."

???: so that is the purpose of those components? They are rather... Unrefined...
/Another hologram pops up, this one male/
???2: enjoying the role of overseer...?
???: do you have any specific reason to appear here and now?
???2: do i need one?
???: it would be preferable.
???2: well, suprise news: i suspect that we're gonna get actual staff here soon.
(leaving Arkais time to react)

"Excuse me, what do you mean staff?"

???2: what do you mean what do i mean? I mean staff. Personell. For starters, an actual facilitator, i suspect. As little challange as running this base was, at least it provided some measure of occupation for us.
???: and what do you base these assumptions on?
???2: that messenger probe we got? I checked the file formats. That doesnt require authorisation. The contents of the probe are most likely Varden personell files.
???: why would they be sending personell?
???2: well, i didnt tell you yet, but on our little trip to return Six, Dredd got promoted to SuCoU,(they also dont want him dead anymore... I think) and should be assigned troops soon. That coupled with the probe contents means.... New personell for the base.... Most likely...

"Right, then I need to request something, I need to get this suit running, it is going to be a means of suppressing and redirecting the warp energies trying to force their way through my body...I need the components to do things like this...I'd be willing to let you examine my prototype."
He shrugs off the suits "cloak" revealing a 4 armed variant of the XV9 suit.

???: you assume that you have not been thoroughly scanned and rescanned since you arrived? And you also assume that we find your suit... Impressive, perhaps? You truly have no idea who you are dealing with. This is one of the few times when i truly find something entertaining.
???2: so youre not a heartless machine after all...?
/most of the turrets turn on the other cruiser/
???2: yeah, i get it...


Ooc. Dont know if you know it, but when i first introduced dredd, one of the first things he did, was to optimize his systems against warpy shit.... After collecting a shitload of data on warpy shits...
So this is kinda like offering a soldier a gun in exchange for help.
Also tbe Varden are pretty much all mechs of some sort.
Hence why she finds it entertsining.

"I would of course offer my services as a mercenary, if my consortium record is on here, you should see my confirmed kills and commendations on there...as well as some help from a certain benefactor of mine."

OOC: Sorry Barbeque

Ooc. Is that why you were away, or will be away? O.o
Ic.
???: theoretical question. I dont really have the authority to decide. You discovered the gateway, by accident, i suspect, so you wont leave without Dredds say so. You also pose a threat to the integrity of this base, so to fulfil my task of overseeing said base, you will not enter until i say so, which, again, is tied to his say so due to circumstances. Seems like you will be waiting here until he is done with what he is doing.

OOC: was away.

"first, it was by accident, seeing this sort of of technology does not make me want to destroy it, like the Imperium or Mechanicus and finally I see, however I must request that I be imprisoned somewhere with some form of warp dampening, as of late, I have been having very painful flashes of energy."

"I would rather not black out and possibly be beset upon."

Ooc. I think ill just sleep now.... Kinda running out of nothing to talk about... And IC time to waste...
Ic.
???2: imprison? Dredds just over there inside me(gestures at the other cruiser)... Id say he will be done in half an hour at most...

"...Very well."

OOC: I'll play a game of league.

Ooc. Try Robocraft. Free to play. Awesome. Its so awesome, that i dont even care if we win or lose...
Or Sunrider. Im laughing my ass off playing it.

Anyway, gnight

OOC:, im back, btw

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
DONT PLAY SUNRIDER! IT IS NOT FINIESHED YET!
oh, how i hate when a story is good but isnt finished and i reach the end of the completed part.....

I thought you were saying a disclaimer until I realized it was purely you

I feel such an emptiness inside now...
I have no idea when the next chapter will be released... it isnt even available in the harbor of independent tradesmen...

OOC:
Captains log. Day 134: Still waiting for gorath

OOC. how the fuck did i miss a 100% hit chance again?!

OOC. okay, the universe is just fucking with me now.... yet another 100% miss...

Edit: and a 95% one...

OOC: I am here!

OOC. well, we are still at the point as yesterday.... gorath hasnt been here all day... on the other hand, he has been online but AFK on steam all day...

OOC: MESSAGE THE FUCK OUTTA HIM!
LETS GO!

OOC. until then, some entertainment for my guest:

Spoiler:

OOC: HOHOHO.

"What is the matter, an overseer can't make a responsible decision of their own?"

OOC. i should note that ill go AFK in like 20 mins tops
IC:
???: oh, would you prefer if i followed protocol and either vaporised you, or lock you up in a brig somewhere to prevent warp incursions...?

"I do not doubt that fact your brig as some warp dampening devices, I simply wish to trade."

OOC: hes here. told him that ill be off real soon though
IC:
???: and in order to do that, you will need to talk to dredd, who is in Aesir. Might as well just wait here until he's done and comes down. i suspect you wouldnt even get to a brig before that happens, so theres no point taking you in.

OOC. right, back in 45 mins tops. most likely less

"Very well."

The suit seems to be crosses his arms.

Ooc. Fo Fuks Sake!
The cleaning department sabotaged my plans once more!
I would say something IC, but i got nothing...

Ooc. Okay, dinner has been delayed as well... Yaaay... So now im back... For now

OOC: Right, get gor.

Ooc. Ehm... Im not on my computer anymore...
Before i turnee it off, I told him that i would be back right about.... Now....

Ooc. Well... Im done... Only waiting for gorath...

BOOBS

Ooc. Yay... Continue where we left off...
And for the record, i wont be here friday and saturday evenings.

there weren't much to say where we left off

Dredd: establish link to probe.
Aesir: done
Dredd: /a burst of electric noise/
Aesir: message unlocked. Bringing it up on screen.
/On a screen, a rather short list of varden designations appear. 5, to be precise/

Tex:....huh

/The first one comes up. Looks like this-ish, just with big tools attached to his back and arms.: http://digital-art-gallery.com/picture/big/16269 . /
