"Shadows of the Past", a Warcraft Roleplay

Chaos ensued as the group of Night Elves with Kathlin fled the explosion, before the shockwave threw them forward!

Aleena felt her feet levitate from the ground as she was soon flying through the air instead. She was completely unaware of the little Bella who was in the path of her and her sisters, at least until she landed with her butt perfectly on top of the little human, who was immediately and firmly shoved up into her rear!

"I... think I landed on something, or someone... " Aleena would groan where she sat, experimentally wriggling her butt around on the ground beneath her as she sensed the new presence in it.

"Speak for yourself!" Another one of her sisters commented, who herself was trapped under two other sentinels and trying to tear her way free!

"Who... " Aleena was about to ask, until she noticed the look that she was receiving from Liaena; the black haired girl's eyes shifting between her face and her butt.

"Ohhh... I guess that explains it."

"Girls, get off your butts and get moving! We're escaping TODAY, please!" Would Rithrynn's voice suddenly sound as she came running up to the sprawled mess of Night Elves as they were recovering from the knockdown of the blast, clapping her hands as she urged her sisters to hurry!

She did at least succeed in inspiring action, as her sisters, most still shell-shocked, began to somewhat chaotically rise all at the same time, which lead to a lot of elbowing and unnecessary knockdowns. Aleena would slowly stagger to her feet, using one of her sisters as support as she stood up. But just as she did so, Vashi, whom she had been using as support, would suddenly rise up herself, throwing her off balance!

"You shiii,-!" Aleena would exclaim in a curse, flailing with her arms as she fell to the side!

Unfortunately for the hidden Sathrielle, it was exactly towards her hiding spot that the big Night Elf was tilting! The tiny battlemage might extend her head to look up to see what was causing the expanding shadows around her, only in time to see Aleena's two big, purple buttocks before she crashed down on her with a thud; with Sathrielle immediately vanishing again, but this time, straight up Aleena's butt!

"Elune!" Aleena would gasp as she felt the tiny thing as it was forcefully shoved up into her rear, before looking down. Just sitting there for a moment, sensing the wriggling and commotion that was now coming from inside her, Aleena would close her eyes.

"Patience, patience... "

Standing up, this time without being knocked down, Aleena would bend herself forward as she rested her hands on her knees. After a short pause, she would suddenly clench her butt before immediately straightened herself back up! The ensuing motion caused both Sathriella and Bella to both be pushed deeper up into her ass, and a satisfied smile appeared on Aleena's face.

"Much better... " She muttered to herself, before happily following her sisters who were already on their way up on board their newly commissioned ship, all the while happily swinging her hips side to side!

"Ready the sails, cut the ropes! We have long since exceeded our welcome in this place!" Rithrynn kept shouting to her sisters, content with merely watching and doing 'officer-thingies' all the while leaving the real physical work to her sisters! The 'commissioned' captain was at the wheel, whilst enjoying the company of two Night Elves both aiming their bows at his neck!

"Get us out of her." Rithrynn would shout angrily as she walked up to the Captain, who cowered before her as she angrily waved her elven sword about dangerously close to the man!

"N-no one's in the steam engine room, ma'am! We can't move without steam!" The terrified man whimpered as he tried to put as much distance between him and Rithrynn's blade, all the while trying to not get shot by the other two Night Elves surrounding him!

"Vashi, you do... whatever, with the engine." Rithrynn turned to Vashi, ordering her to go down below. As the ever loyal magi nodded and ran off, Rithrynn was left looking after the wind of cloth strips that marked Vashi's departure down into the bowels of the ship, before turning to Liaena.

While no one was looking, Rithrynn would carefully lean down towards Liaena, to whisper into her ear.

"What's an 'engine'?"

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

Hmm... I suppose so, move Zachery Silver to the character tab.

As for everyone else, get on the civilian ship in the hanger.
No idea what it looks like, since I couldnt find any good references. I guess we could use a civilian version of the Aquila Lander? Whoever gets in the ship first can describe it.

@Skyrte

i suppose since Adrianne already is in the hangar, I should have been the one to describe it then, but since I didn't; I'll wait to see if anyone else steps in soon, or if I'll make another post where I'll describe it myself ^^

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

"And to answer your question, Psyker Valenthin, I am headless."

Adrianna would raise an eyebrow at the Inquisitor's reply, her face taking on a quizzical shape as if the psyker was ever so slightly dazzled and befuddled by Zhevon's comment. She maintained the odd gaze until Zhevon together with Stukov had stepped into the Captain's quarters, and the door slid shut behind the two.

"What a strange man."

If anything, the role of inquisitor seemed to attract the type of eccentric personalities, to say the least.

But regardless of what she had heard, she would soon return her mind to the task at hand. They had yet to make planetfall, and it would be prudent for her to be present at the hangar before the inquisitor ever made it there.

Thus, with her servo-skull following closely behind her, Adrianne began to make her way down from the bridge and towards the hangar B-12. But not without first visiting one of the ship's lonely kiosks that sat alone in the maze of corridors that was the ship's interior, where she requisitioned a bottle of sparkly vanilla and licorice flavored soda that she brought with her.

After even more walking, including some elevator rides, she would finally appear in hangar b-12.

It was a hangar further in the back of the ship that consisted mostly of transport vessels. The room was wide and open, with a massive inquisitorial banner hanging from the main wall in the room. But despite the room's grandeur, it was rather empty of people; with only the occasional tired, overworked engineer walking about and trying to direct the literally brainless servitors.

Stepping into the hangar, Adrianne's eyes scanned her surroundings for a place to sit. But after having observed no clean place to sit, the ground being covered by grime and dirt, and any nearby crate being oily and dirty; she decided to improvise. Leaning back, she suddenly sat down cross-legged in the middle of the air, mystically hovering over the ground with the help of her telekinetic powers in a rather leisurely fashion. She had no idea how long she might have to wait, so she might as well get as comfortable as she could!

Leaning back, she uncorked her soda bottle and began to drink from it, all the while watching the handlful of workers scurry about in the hangar. Her servo skull floated besides her, and began scanning for any news or radio channels from the planet below, shuffling through everything from advertisements, voice-novels, podcasts and music channels.

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

Adrianne would take a moment to gaze at the holographic display of the planet as the image hovered in the air in front of her, the psyker spending a couple of moments simply gazing at the image.

"I only saw fragments from a ground point of view," She said, unable to really identify the city from the holographic representation of the entire planet.
"3-EX; bring me some advertisement pictures of the city."

She would suddenly instruct, as her servo-skull floated past her and up to the control panel. A small, metal digital connection rod would appear out from under the servo-skull's teeth to jut out into the air in front of it, before inserting it into the nearby applicable slot on the machine. As it connected with the machine, it would carry out the the bidding of its mistress, as soon, images of the hive city in question would appear around the holographic representation of the planet. The pictures were taken in quite a professional manner, containing everything from a picturesque view of the city's horizon to individual streets, resorts and pristine streets taken by the cameramen of various vacation companies.

"Yes, it definitely looks familiar." Adrianne would finally respond, after having taken a moment to study the pictures in silence as they appeared before her, the servo-skull giving her a couple of seconds to gaze at each one before shifting them about and bringing up a new set of pictures.

"That's enough."

With a single motion of her hand, the servo-skull would close down the additional windows and tabs it had generated on the holodeck, before retreating it's digital connector back into it's 'mouth' and moving away from the holo-terminal.

"I believe we have found our city. Once we are on the ground and closer to the source, I should be better able to scry its exact location." Adrianne would then explain as she turned to Inquisitor Zhevon who was standing next to her.

Taking a moment to merely look at him, she would eventually tilt her head slightly to the side as she'd give him a curious glance.

"If I may ask, Inquisitor... why the mask?" She'd inquire as her eyes focused on Zhevon's mask.

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

We're setting off to the planet today or tomorrow.

@Skyrte

s'pose that'll also be determined by the PPM of this RP ^_^ (posts-per-minute)

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

anyone wanna make any bets on what our first enemy in this RP will be like? :P (GM not being allowed to bet, of course ^^)

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

Adrianne would wait patiently in the hall for the arrival of the inquisitor, standing in the center of the dimply lit hall with her staff at her side.

The fact that the inquisitor choose to come alone, rather than bring someone with him or call her to one of his briefing or command rooms did leave an impression on Adrianne. The fact that he agreed to be alone with a psyker in the empty halls of the ship without any kind of additional security detail meant either he had a lot of trust for her, or that he simply didn't care much about his own safety.

"So... How bad is it down there?"

"Subtract the great level of lavishness, shameless debauchery, extravagant vanity and large collection of colossal egos and self-centrism of the population, it would actually make a decent holiday vacation; with only a minor chance of warp storms." Adrianne would remark as the Inquisior approached her.

"Aside from the quite obvious traces of Slaaneshi worship, whether intentionally or inadvertently created by the population, I also detected the Orkish footprints on the planet. Judging by the strong pulses, I would say that the greenskin are mustering for something big. But if the reports are to be believed and these are indeed just mere, primitive feral Orks, I doubt they would be able to overcome the garrison."

Adrianne would report, before she would step by Zhevon and motion for the inquisitor to follow her as she began to journey towards the bridge, where she had last seen a holodock that could be used to analyse the planet.

"But there was one part of the planet that did take my interest, a lesser, more luxurious hive city of some kind." She would continue as they walked through the empty corridors of the ship.
"I am not familiar with the planet, and so was unable to recognize it from the few fragments that I saw. Do you know how many Hive Cities there are on Friere II?"

She would ask, turning her attentive gaze over to Zhevon walking besides her.

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

Having left behind the briefing room in the trail and maze that was the confusing corridors of the inquisitorial ship, Adrianne would finally return to her own, more quiet compartment of the ship.

The ship was as large as it was ancient, and understaffed enough to leave a number of its areas mostly devoid of people. Something that suited her taste.

Entering a larger hallroom with large windows facing out into the empty space outside, surrounded by blastshields that would close in case of an attack; Adrianna would step across the metal floor to stand in the center of the room.

She would stand still for a moment, gazing out of the window and at the planet below, stretching out across the lower right corner of the window.

Friere II...

"What secrets do you hold from me?" Adrianne would mutter to herself as she gazed down across the blue planet, eyeing the expanding body of water only filled by the occasional continent. Even from up in orbit, it already looked beautiful.

Holding her staff out horizontally in front of her; she let go. As her fingers loosened from the shaft, the staff would not fall, but remained floating in the air in front of her, as if suspended by invisible threads. Sitting down on her knees, she would close her eyes, and take a deep breathe, before slowly exhaling.

Peace and tranquility filled her mind, pushing any thought of worry or mission away. Instead, she left her mind bare, open to any outside stimuli.

Minutes passed of complete serenity, until she could feel it; the tendrils of warp energy that emanated from the planet below, unveiling the communal, beating heart of the planet that was kept alive and powered by all its inhabitants, human or otherwise. The emotions that began to fill her mind were diverse. Most of them were that of delight, of satisfaction, of strong desires and jealousy that seemed to emanate from every populated part of the planet. But in a different point, she could also feel an unrestrained rage, anger and a strong sense of anticipation, as if a gathering of wild, unruly and feral warriors were making ready for war!

But on the planet, amidst all the sensual delights and occasional thought of primal fury, it was one beating impulse that stood out among all the other emotions.

As she focused her mind and went deeper, she could see incomplete fragments of what seemed to be a hive city of some sort. But rather than seeing the massive castle monasteries and gothic spires covered in ash and sot that were so common of the other hive cities she had seen, this one seemed pristine. Clean. Beyond the majestic and grand lights of the city below was a clear night sky, not covered by any industrial cloud or smoke. The buildings were in pristine condition, lavishly decorated by cleanly polished imperial symbolism, and the citizens; either daringly or flamboyantly dressed in luxurious garbs and exquisite raiments. Though she could only see glimpses of it, she soon realized that this was no ordinary hive city. It was reserved to the higher classes and richer tradesmen, unsullied by the poverty, overcrowding and industry that haunted so many other, larger imperial hive worlds.

And she felt the special pulse coming from somewhere on the planet, located on a particular island.

"It's a start."

Suddenly her eyes opened in an instant, her purple irises moving about as she looked at the darkened, metallic hall around her.

She had no idea for how long she had remained in her meditation. Whenever she closed her eyes and opened her mind to the vast tendrils of warp energy that seeped through the universe, time moved at an erratic pace. However long it may have taken her, it was time to inform the others.

Turning to her servo-skull which was lying on the ground next to her; in power saving mode; having followed her all the way, she would finally speak.

"Contact Inquisitor Zhevon. Inform him that I need to talk to him." Adrianne instructed the servo-skull, which suddenly sprang to life, with lights flickering on and off around the circuits in the skull and eye sockets. A light double beep indicated that the message had been sent, which traveled directly to Zhevon's communicator.

(( if zhevon has any communication equipment on him, imagine he just got the grim, dark, Warhammer 40K equivalent of an SMS xD ))
