A slightly smaller Mess

Hera: "Its fine charles. I can deal with it."

Serah: "With the inquisitor here, we wont be killing them,"

Charles: I know...sorry. 

Chard: you're pretty much untouchable now though, eh?

Serah: "Practically. besides another inquisitor."

Hera: "oh shut up you." *kiss*

Chard: even then, the boss has a lot of friends, us included. Our whole damn planet owes him their lives.

Charles: *kiss* *jokingly* Yes ma'am

Hera: "And now, i'm going to go sleep. like a log."

Serah: "We've managed to deal with the inquisition alone for a long time. we have a lot of friends."

Charles: think the others will be okay?

Chard: so between us, we could probably deal with anyone who came after you.

Serah: "We have any enemies who would be a problem?"

Jax: "Uhh... yeah... yeah we do."

Hera: "They're all tough as nails, the survived the spinward front, they can survive anything."

Chard: oh?

Charles: alright. If you say so. You know hera...sorry if this seems...a bit forward but...if you ever need company, there's room in my room for two.

Jax: "The dark eldar, a necron dynasty, *coughs* Some specific chaos.. andddd a few planetary governors"

Serah: "Oh at least three different warbands."

Hera: "I'll definitely keep that in mind." *kiss*

Chard: *eyebrow raise* that's a lot of damn enemies.

Charles: *kiss* alright. See you later.

Jax: "We get around. At least we've knocked 'The entire imperium' off that list."

Hera: "Goodnight."

Chard laughs "aye, true enough. You should see some of the enemies we've made around here."

Charles: night. *he watches her go with a sigh before heading to the bridge and contacting laurence*

Laurence: +What is it charles?+

Jax: "Great, we can keep extending the list."

+We have the artifact. Get ready to bug out as soon as we know where we're going next.+

Chard: don't worry. Aint no one gonna get to anyone under the inquisitor's protection.

Laurence: +Pulling out of the debris field.+

Jax: "No, the 'crons'll just go through it."

Charles: +Roger that. Transmitting second set of coordinates now.+

Chard: Ha! Necrons aren't so tough.

Jax: "Tell that to them. Fuckers don't know when to stay dead."

Laurence: +Any casualties on the ground op?+

Charles: +Zero, luckily.+
*warp signature detected*

Chard: Oh I know. And I know damn well how to put em down.

Byrne: +Incoming warp signature, battle stations!+

Serah: "Blow them to fuck tends to work."

jax: "There was that one time they got back up after a vindicator cannon hit them."

*at which point a chaos battlefleet arrives, headed by a battle barge, this symbol on its hull*

Spoiler:

Chard: sounds like them. But they don't get up from everything.

Byrne: +HARD TO PORT DAMN IT, BRING THOSE LANCE BATTERIES AROUND!+

Jax: "No, they just teleport out to get fixed back home."

a loud, gruff, fenrisian voice crackles over the vox
+Greetings, dogs of the emperor! I'm afraid we're here to be takin those artifacts off ye in the warsmith's name!+
Charles: +Laurence, Do not engage, I've transmitted coordinates, we need to get the hell out of here!+

OOC: Just gonna add, Lance batteries are always depicted as being turreted. So by turning you're actually brining the Macro-Cannons to bear.

Laurence: +We won't make it out of the debris field before they're on top of us! You have the artefact, get your arse out!+

OOC: All the dauntless's lances are fixed forward mounted

+Negative, The eldar are already moving to engage, get your arse out too!+

Laurence: +We're going to take some hits if they focus us. Byrne, move us out!+

Byrne: "We're going to get hit!"

Laurence: "I KNOW."

the eldar and wolf ships begin to engage
Charles: +ALL HANDS PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY WARP JUMP+

*byrne wrestles with the ships controls, hauling it around, slamming the thrust to all ahead. The old ship groaning from the stress* "ALL HANDS! WARP JUMP IN..."

OOC: and now we roll for how good a pilot byrne is, since he's trying to pull a ship out of a debris field and slam it into the warp.

The member 'Captain Raeven' has done the following action : Challange Fate

---

'd20' : 17

*Byrne handles his ship like a true professional, making a high energy turn around a large piece of debris, smaller material rebounding off the armour plating.* "THREE, TWO, ONE!" *with a quick prayer, he takes ahold of the lever that engages the warp engines, and heaves.*

Charles ship follows suit, entering warpspace towards the new coordinates

Jax: *arrives on the bridge with serah.* "The hell happened?"

Charles: On the planet or in space?

Jax: "I was thinking the emergency warp jump?"

Charles: the iron warriors caught up with us, that's what. After the artifact.

Jax: "How did the know where?"

Charles: don't know.

Jax: "Oh god... That aint good."

Charles: agreed.

Jax: "They could have a tracker on us... or an informant."

Charles: doubtful, they never had such a chance. More likely that they already know where the artifacts are.

Jax: "And you trust your staff entirely?"

Charles: I can enter the mind of anyone on this ship in a heartbeat. If we had a mole, I'd know.

Jax: "...What about the other ship?"

Charles: I trust laurence. But I'll contact him, to make sure.

Jax: "Wait... who?"

Charles:...speak your mind.

Jax: "I knew an inquisitorial accolyte named laurence once. Chased us halfway across the galaxy."

Charles: *eyebrow raise* I'll mention it. Subtly do he doesn't know you're here. Just to be sure.

Jax: "It would be a shame to have to kill him."

Charles: if he is the one, you're safe. He's powerful. I'm stronger.
