The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(And others)

Silvine: ....she is not a morning person?

[That is terrible in her like of work. She could be attacked at any time.]

Silvine: ........except during those 3 days she was awake before going to sleep?

[That is just a stupid routine.]

Silvine: Maybe.... but i assume you would prefer to not get murderbanished by the first inquisitorial agent we come across?

*rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. the heavy weapon upon his shoulder rotates into a firing position.*

Silvine: .......what is it now?

[It is a plasma cannonade. I have also upgraded the plating, added six additional balistic weapons, and replaced the claws with mono molecular edges.]

Silvine: ....exterminatus... 'nuff said?

[You think someone would destroy a planet to kill me?]

Silvine: If you think otherwise, you are underestimating the tenacity of the inquisition...

[I am reconsidering working for you...]

Silvine: Good thing that you dont have a choice... Since Lady Elise spent 3 days negotiating with inquisition higher-ups so that that wont happen until you are working for her....

[Hm... still considering.]

Silvine: ....you realize that youre not getting a better deal, right? Theres not much higher than inquisitor in the imperium, and you are in the retinue of one.... By the throne, you should actually be thanking her... she could have just handed you and that casket over to whoever and gotten a planet of her own for it, most likely...

[Live and work for the institution you despise, or die and remain by your principles... Hard choice]

Silvine: ....not in your case. you have sworn an oath, remember?

[Oaths are breakable.]

Silvine: .......if it was that easy, she would not have bothered with a ritual...... Wether in desperation and ignorance or not, you made an oath.. now suck it up and keep yourself to it...

*he laughs, low and booming* [To break an oath you must make another, stronger oath that overrides it.]

Silvine: Yeah, I included clauses for that in the ritual... and just general oath breaking...

[I would have to resort to the gods. but it could be done.]

Silvine: I dont think that Assessors of the Black Tontine are bound to obey the gods...

[All daemons obey the gods.]

OOC. no they dont
IC:
Silvine: Who knows... then again, why would they set up a system if they just let you squiggle out at will?

[Why would a god allow a mortal to overrule them?]

ooc: The vast majority do

Silvine: Its their own rules

[It was a thought experiment only. im not dying today.]

Silvine: So, do you want anything else? I have been aware of our arrival for several hours now...

[I was under the impression this was urgent.]

Silvine: If it was urgent, they would have sent for us and assigned the mission... She just got some random old crap off a list to get us something to do... You cant have doomsday averting missions every time

*Vox modulated sigh.* [I am recovered from solitude to do busywork.]

Silvine: What were you expecting, a cult trying to summon the dark gods into realspace every wednesday? ....that only happens like once every month...

[I was expecting more.]

Silvine: And if you keep expecting it, it might just happen, based on your logic, so stop doing it

*Shrugs his gigantic shoulders* [How long will she take to be ready?]

Elise: *from behind him, very grumpy* Well since someone decided to tear my bloody door open, exactly zero!

[I didn't tear anything, just open it enough for you to hear.]

Elise: Tell that to the cogboys currently reblessing all my hydraulics...

[Those are techpriests, they probably do that weekly anyway.]

Elise: yes, but it was not due until sunday...

[Well i'm keeping them on their toes.]

Elise: well, pack your stuff... we have chaos to kill...

Tempus: [I am my stuff.]

Elise: Good, to the hangar you go then

*STOMP STOMP STOMP*

Elise: ...Youre ready, I presume?
Silvine: Pretty much...
--------------------
*one skip later, they are heading planetside in a shuttle, if there are no objections or things to do?*

*none*

Elise: Right, so the plan is, locate cultists, locate artifact, kill cultists, get artifact, get back. Not necessarily in that order... Questions?

[Civilians?]

Elise: Eh, maybe a few. Its a dead hive though... Turns out, people REALLY do not like being bombarded into oblivion and then having a plague around...
