Takeshi sat down more relaxed again at Boris' (@DeranVendar ) reply and nodded in agreement, before turning to the Inquisitor (@Maleth ). "Alright alright. How about this then. We all go happily, fake smiles on our lips to the banquet, crouch as deep in their asses like an Eel, suck up to their stupidity. And theeeeen we go and roam the streets incognito. Would that be more feasible, Lady Inquisitor?" "As much as I hate to be straight up, but the only way we can reveal any treason at all properly without turning everyone into an enemy is by gathering evidence. And evidence cannot be gathered at the banquet, so I suggest we don't even attempt anything. Unless of course a certain former Enforcer would have to go the bathroom and by accident steps into the Governor's office, by accident knocks the two guards out and transfers by another tragic accident all the data of the local cogitator unit. Unless of course Master Mars (@High_Adept_Zeth ) here wants to do this instead." The Mercenary made it kind of clear that he does not like to waste time, but hey. In the end he would get paid either way, even if it's just for looking good and eating at the table. But being productive at work is how Takeshi became an Elite Merc, not just some random Ganger bodyguard.
"Cinders have no heresy. " Firebat knew terror and fire, he didn't get politics or being nice. He mostly was just waiting for order but was happy a master brother had ideas he understood.
Sedric eyes the "odd looking" tech priest with his bionic eye "that sounds rather helpful i forget you techy guys can do such things........ also i havnt seen many of your priests with that much skin left" Sedric laughs to himself trying to make a friendly joke and leans back in his chair and takes his cigar out of his mouth and rubs his chin and asks "perhaps i could find a few guards who arnt exactly keen on their job and would love to drink with a fellow guardsman and tell each other our tales of woe and maybe just maybe theyll let something slip?" Sedric raises a eye brow questioningly
"Meeting, with food. A feast?" K'tikathat says, processing the strange habits of humans and trying to figure counterpart from the Kroot culture. "Another tribe has called K'tikathat for a feast. Welcoming feast, celebration feast? In honor of human Gods?" He talks to himself as part of the thought progress. "Tainted flesh among the tribe members? A trap? A challenge? Inquisitor almighty leader, feast to honor her presence? K'tikathat not allowed in same table as boss, K'tikathat eats offal in cage." The muttering continues, Kroot ignoring others and their planning.
"Uh, I think they're just being nice. Inquisitors are very important people, after all!", the blank attempted to explain to this curious alien creature (@GoreWrencha ). Apparently it had ceased its aggressions, which was good, since Astra wasn't exactly keen on being killed and eaten. Truly, inquisitorial business made strange allies. "So do ruinous powers include psykers? Because that, I will certainly shut down. Just keep me close, m'lady, and nothing astral sea-related will happen to you. I promise." Talking of the mission and not of human culture or other matters overtly calmed the Reman, banishing her overexcitement for the moment, even if it did nothing for her chattiness. "But I really don't know how we would get aliens, or mercenaries, or gruff and ruff Vostroyans into a feast! Because they would stick out. Or are red greatcoats some kind of fashion statement? I'm not really sure. But on Remus, they would stick out. We did wear more tunics there, though. I assume that's local and not universal, right?"
"Inqusitor If we must attend this Dining, I would like to Suggest the possibility of Bringing our weapons concealed or bringing enough in case the governor or anyone else has Intentions that would prove harmful for yours or the Imperium. What are we allowed to bring on this mission." Pierce asked after stating a suggestion.
Firebat grimaced though it was almost impossible to tell. " I can take out my good coat. Don't expect me them not to be afraid though. " He was well aware 'normal' people we scared of the pyromantic biomechanical horror that he is.
"I'll have ye know a fine coat like this is the height of status back home! Though for such an occasion I think I will have to ask your advice Miss Astra on how to proceed, I've a handful of acquired disguises from my service under the late Inquisitor that might need a proper ironing and dusting but certainly could do the job. Either way..." Reaching into his great coat and whipping out a sharpened entrenching tool for several quick swipes at the air, dangerously near to several heads for that matter, Boris smirked. "I'm bringin' this along, digs a trench in flesh easily as dirt don't ya know? Oh also this! " Fumbling around with tool hand he snagged his las-pistol by its trigger guard with pinky finger and pulled it out. "Maybe a few hidden det packs too...yes? I can rig up a diversion or two under the punch bowl or in someones hat if need be. "
"The last rebellion that Verdan Prime had suffered was 60 years ago, Sedric. It's the fact that the whole planet is such a wretched hive of scum and villainy that would make a fanatical monodominant call for an Exterminatus that's more concerning to me." The Inquisitor replied to the Guardsman (@torque ). This was going to be a long after-briefing... With Takeshi's first bit of talking being lost in the heap of conversation that followed, the Inquisitor nodded her head when Boris suggested that he and the Silver Shroud could stir up the banquet to help see who needed further watching and further head nodding when Zoran suggested that he could check throughout the hive Vox-Net, and when Boris suggest having a vehicle nearby to store the team's heavier weaponry. and Firebat's information that he'd not be present, considering he was a weapon of terror. Then was another suggestion from Takeshi, and some words from K'tikathat, who she presumed was thinking aloud. And then, Astra talked to the Kroot about the feast, and finally Pierce suggested bring concealed weaponry, just on the off chance there was something that meant to cause her harm. With a plan having come together, Alicia announced "I have our plan for what we'll be doing planetside worked out. We'll all turn up for the initial meeting before the banquet begins at the Governor's Palace in Hive Vestera, but Firebat, Pierce, K'tikathat and Ogedei will conveniently be absent for the actual banquet. Sedric, Mira , Astra, the 'Silver Shroud', as Takeshi will be going in as his alter-ego, Boris and myself will be mingling with those present, to see how they react to whatever yarns that might be spin and if anyone merits a closer look, and if any of us get an opportunity, steal any documents that anyone there didn't want us to see. Meanwhile, Zoran will take a look at the technical parts of the Palace, such as the Palace's connection to the Hive Vox-Net and any Cogitator networks present in the palace, and see if he can allow us to intercept any communications from the Palace and generally, ensure that the Governor is not hiding anything via any technological medium. And for us present at the banquet, we can take any weapons that we can keep concealed. but we will have a van on stand by which has some heavier weaponry, should we need it. And Boris, you can take some explosives...... just not so much that you might accidentally level a Spire." She paused to take a breather then continued with " As for those not going to be present at the banquet once done with the preliminary meeting, you can go your separate ways. Ogedei, your power amour will allow you to survive in the wasteland outside of the Hives, and so, you can nab your bike and whatever wargear you see fit. Firebat, if there happens to be any mutant purges going on, you can take part considering your talents make you quite suited for that line of work. Pierce, I'd like you to remain in the shadows for now, and provide support for anyone in trouble, provided they're not in a place where you'd die in minutes. And K'tikathat, you can see if anyone would be in need of someone of your.... Natural skillset, regardless of the work is legal or not. Now that the plan's out of the way, you can all grab your gear, but just make sure that it's appropriate for the banquet if you're staying." With that done, the Inquisitor departed from the briefing room, turning off the Hololith and heading to the armoury, to take her power sword as a signifier of her office, and a cut-down autopistol which she could hide in her formal attire. OOC: You guys have both your standard gear (Inc. special grenades) and the following options. 2 Grenades(Can be Frag, Krak, Blind or Stun) 2 Special ammo magazines (For Bolt/Auto/Stub weapons only.
