Current I do not "brainrot". I brainferment so my brain will become even smoother and even more potent than before in its smoothness.

Sorry for my absence! A Volunteering position suddenly turned into a Volunteer Leadership position I was not expecting at all so things have been hectic.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards

Warhammer 40,000
Brave New World




It came from the stars, falling to earth like a wounded dragon.

Having suffered critical damage in the Warp and several catastrophic system failures, the Fortune’s Dominion had finally come to a stop. Fragments and chunks of it that had been ripped out like entrails were scattered all around its final stop. The panic, the confusion, the chaos that gripped the ship finally gave way to an uncomfortable silence. There was no more wind rushing, no more adrenaline-filled hearts, no more terrified screams. Now there was only the sound of broken equipment mixed with cries of pain and anguish and a distant sound of alarms.

People were trapped under slabs of metal or barricaded behind doors. Dead bodies were everywhere, crumbled or disfigured in unnatural and nauseating ways. Slowly, survivors began to get up and try to dig one another out, first bringing them to whatever open areas where left intact and then on to the planet’s surface once they found out that there were few open areas left. Spaces who had spent generations aboard ships dropped to their feet, their bodies not used to true gravity or natural air.

There was a slow realization that of the ship’s nearly 200,000 passengers and crew, less than an 1/10th had survived, maybe 1/8th at the most optimistic. The burnt clearing the ship had made was being filled with the wounded, but the dead and the dying were piling up faster. Voidsmen, pilgrims, crewmen, guardsmen, officers, all were simply being thrown into a heap. The captain and the bridge crew were no where to be seen, the access lifts and shafts to the bridge itself destroyed or blocked off.

It didn't take a tech priest to realize that the state of the ship was beyond salvage, at least not without a fully equipped dockyard. A growing uneasiness took hold of the survivor's minds. Even in the best case scenario, they have be stranded on an uncharted planet for a long, long while.


>Put out an ad to the Evil talent agency to look for cheap minions to guard the place because budget cuts are a bitch.
@BigPapaBelial Skitarrii activation accepted. Welcome aboard!
I'm thinking of starting the IC in the coming day or so, so get those character RPs so you can hit the ground alive running!

If you are lurking around, don't worry the Discord has been more active but I will try to use the OOC more as well.
Yo, ClocktowerEchos. I figured out the formatting for the colony and stuff. Here is an example.


That last bit is a bit too much code for my tastes but I like the idea of using tables like in the first bit.





I feel like going with the one without lists. Still not fully convinced with using cells though. My biggest complaint with the tables right now is how everything inside is always bold. How did you manage to do it?
IC Testing

(Test on how to do GM posts, feedback appreciated.)


WELFARE
Survivors are content. Laws and work orders are being dutifully followed.
Survivors are crammed together in makeshift bunks and are hoping for more shelters to be built.
There is enough food to ration out. A recent discovery of a cache of booze was shared with all by the Captain, improving mood.
There is a growing rift between the various sects of the Imperial Creed. Rival prayer shrines have been set up and street preachers decry each other as sinful.

Character A's preaching abilities have helped to lessen the impact of the religious schism, reminding everyone that they are still fellow Imperials.


PRODUCTION
The Mechanicus reports nominal working output. Several servitors have recently gone missing, slowing production.
The workshops have managed to bring 10 lasguns back into working order.
The motor pool has repaired one Chimera to full capacity.
Plasma generators are still offline, cruder fuel-based generators continue to generate power.

Construction Crew Alpha is building a training range. Estimate 2 days remaining.

Construction Crew Beta is being put towards assisting production.

Character B's attempt to help repair a plasma gun has failed resulting in a destroyed weapon and several angry tech priests.


SECURITY
The remains of the Guard regiment and ship's Voidsmen patrol the perimeter of the camp. They are greatly aided by repaired Sentinels, allowing them to cover more ground at once.
Internal security is high with the Lord Commissar expanding the Deputy Commissar roster.
External defenses is adequate. During the night, a storm rolled in and caused damage to a section of the wall.

The 1st Expeditionary Force has scouted out ruins to investigate in more depth. They believe it might contain tech.

The 2nd Expeditionary Force has been out hunting and brought back a bounty of fresh meat and hides.

Character C joined the 1st EF, enhancing their scouting abilities with their own skills.

Character D manned the walls. With no activity, they engaged in gambling but unfortunately lost two ration bars and a pack of lho sticks.


CURRENT EVENTS

  • Holy Day - Today marks the start of the Festival of Imperial Light which begins with fasting. All survivors are forced to consume less food for the time being but aren't less happy for it.
  • Heavy Rain - Storm from last night is making travel difficult and has damage some of the more temporary structures.
  • The Haunting - Several servitors have disappeared and and last night a pair of night watchmen were found missing from their post. Worries of something stalking the camp are on the rise.
