For the emperor ! (IC thread - always recruiting )

[Shayuri]

"Then the less people who know, the better," Kestrel said, glancing at Brutis.

She nodded at the collared man and said, "Kestrel. It seems I'll be holding your control. Follow orders and there'll be no need for it." Her voice had no acrimony or ill will in it, but neither did he see pity or mercy in her stern eyes.

"but sir if those documents were so important why did you choose such a crowded path to take? Surely there could have been another route that was far less populated. Despite my need for violence i cant just harm innocents to get there....."

Kincade blinks and she is back in the carriage, once again taking in the smell of Blood. "why did you show me that inquisitor? what was the purpose?"

"But regarding the matter at hand how may i help in dealing with this particularly messy situation"

The bodyguard looks at rat. "There aren't many people who know we are with the Inquisition. In fact, we used none of our official ID codes, and I haven't shown my Rosette to anyone on this planet."

Rat coughs once, and his voice changes considerably. It has hardly recognizable, and sounds more...normal? "Did you hear about that Noble that got killed? What was his name again...Anyway, it was total bloodshed! ." He coughs again and returns to his original voice "Like thats is whats I meant"

With a nod from the noble, the bodyguard motions the last two members to the rest of the group.
"Good. It seems you have passed preliminary screening. I am sure my master will later wish to screen you himself later, but we'll deal with that when we get there."
"Thuon, one last job. See if you can find out something from that surviving job. Then we get out of here." He quietly says to the noble.

"Anyways, wellcome to the inquisition."

"Like I said, some group has figured out somehow that we both are inquisition operatives, and decided it was safer to terminate us than try to keep whatever they were doing from us."

"I want you to find out who and why. I do not care how you do this, but let me make one thing clear from the start. The Inquisitorial Rosette, with all it's powers and responsibilities, has to be earned. And you haven't earned it yet, not by far. Consider this a test."

"Any questions?"

 

[Shayuri]

Kestrel took a breath. Her fingertips itched. The magnitude of this opportunity was awestriking, matched only by the danger of the duty involved, and the penalty for failure.

"I assume you'll be going into hiding," she said. "How shall we communicate with you? Also, will we have access to any resources beyond what we currently carry with us?"

Brutis made a mental note of the arbiter’s name. kestrel. At least he knew one name. His new master, which he didn’t know her name, but he was afraid to ask, then turned towards him and gave her terms. Brutis only nodded then his gaze turned back towards the floor. He was a slave and an ex-solder. He would be more ashamed if he didn’t follow orders. When the inquisitor gave his welcome, bruits didn’t move, but he felt his chest swell with pride. He was then handed his first mission. He didn’t even flinch because like all things in his life up till this point, this wasn’t his choice. He simply glanced up and looked at his master and wondered if he was going to be coming along.

After recovering from his.. 'vision', McClane catches on to what's going on "Well I can think of worse people to be drafted by. I been living a mercs life cuz nothing better presented itself." he knocks on a nearby table "I can hear Opportunity when he comes around, and I don't plan to dissapoint."

He listens to Kestrels questions, also wanting to know the answers.. Resources and Communications would be nice.

 

[DrZombie]

“Communication? At the moment we do not have any idea about who or what the enemy is capable of. Communication is assumed to be compromised. I will visit you in person when I’m able. Resources?” He takes a small pouch from a pocket in his vest. “Here, catch. This should sort you for a good while. I’m going to be off-planet, report to my master. Make it last long enough.”

In the meanwhile the Noble walks to the unconscious heretic. He peels open his eyelids and starts to stare at him. The temperature in the carriage swiftly drops. Then, both the noble and the heretic start to bleed from their noses, ears and eyes. A trickle at first, then a veritable stream. The bodyguard rushes forwards, trying to intervene, but before he gets there both the heretic and the noble start to howl, a keening that bites through your soul. The blood flow seems to increase even more, then they both drop to the floor, lifeless.

[sblock=TheJoker] The controller to Brutis's explosive collar is held by KESTRELL, played by Shayuri. she is an Assassin, clearly and obviously so.
The arbitrator is KINCAID. She is played by RuikTheForgotten. You keep mixin' em up. Must be all those combat drugs [/sblock]

[sblock] The players that didn't get an extra fate point (McLane, Kincaid, Brutis) can add one now.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Kestrel swipes the bag out of the air with the same casual ease that she did the collar control. She's about to look inside when the noble's actions stop her cold. She can only stare in mute horror, skin crawling as the carriage turns frigid and the eerie dual scream rends the air.

Emperor's might, she thinks with a surreptitious glance at Zhent. Is that what guarding a psyker is like when they come into their power?

Unsure if the noble's condition is part of the ruse, or if something has gone wrong, she stands, tense and ready to act, and waits for instructions.
