((Yeah I suppose so just kinda feels like overkill a bit))

[~Neri]

((There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to Akras.))

[KaineFisher]

((There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to Akras.))

(There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to the unknown in general).

[If you're willing to tank the cost, you could call request a ROG Strike from orbit.]

[Prophet]

I have 5 C I could contribute comrade.

[Kuma]

"So what's the plan for the mission?"

[Maegil]

I weren't sure that Akras already had a full satnav constellation in orbit, now you're telling me they already have a RoG satellite... anyway, we couldn't tank that kind of thing even if we sold the clothes off our backs.
Not that using one of those would be conductive to profiting from the village.

[Maegil]

"So what's the plan for the mission?"

"Show up at the village with the VTOL and land within sight but out of range/angle for the ballistas, get everybody to form up, ride the trike out of the VTOL as if in a parade.
Put a flag of Akras and a white flag on it, ride to near the gate and call a parley while the VTOL takes off and stays in sight.

Tell them we're the people who killed their Gods, that the Empire found the weapons of our early expeditions and holds them as sacred artefacts, but for us they're just grunt weapons like their militia's pikes and that we've got weapons that could destroy the whole village and surrounding area in a blink - we defeated Gods, and our "pikes" are for them as powerful as holy relics!
Show a MAG, throw a grenade, incinerate a bush, topple a tree with an AP round, and tell them that we're just the Akras spearhead, and that Akras will rather make an example of them than send more people if we're killed. Point at the plane and say that they'll drop things like the hand grenade but much larger on the village if they don't surrender.
Shoot the priest if he doesn't shut the fuck up after a single warning that we kill gods and will shoot their priests if they don't shut the fuck up. Have the kelpies taken out of the village and kill them with fire (or do they have any scientific value?). Treat everybody else well, mingle, speak of how wonderful Akras is. Take or scan all books, every single page.

Use the village as base of operations, use its militia to locate the vampire, call the plane and use the carrot and stick spiel. Loot the place for knowledge.

That's about it."

[vkiNm]

Solid plan. You're dismissed, your flight will fly out first thing in the morning, you'll be having an in-flight breakfast.

Unless you want to go today, then you can leave just after Dinner. It'll be dark when you get there.

Of course, they'll give you a ration enough for 3 days for everyone.

[KaineFisher]

"I'd advise killing the priest at the first opportunity and blaming it on blasphemy or something like that. People don't like when you cut into their market, and priests are the worst about it. Plus it will establish a precedent for the rest. Nobody wants to be the idiot who makes the same mistake as the last guy."

[Bill Chompski]

Danh speaks up. "So, uh, were we gonna get the flamer?"

[Maegil]

"I'm no murderer, but I don't expect him to heed the warning. It'll also serve to show that we mean business and keep our promises.

Yes, anyone else would mind contributing?"

[vkiNm]

Also? Their Relics are shit. They're barely working guns with ammo that's been sitting around gathering dust for centuries. A working 20mm underbarrel Cannon only broke a guy's rib through his armored plate.

While yours are brand new, right out of the printer last week.

[KaineFisher]

"I'm no murderer, but I don't expect him to heed the warning. It'll also serve to show that we mean business and keep our promises."

"Exactly. Why wait for him to do what we know he will do? Give him enough time to say something that we can use as evidence, martyrs are annoying."

[Maegil]

"I won't accuse him of heresy, that's something I expect him to do. On the contrary, I want to show that we don't give a fuck about heresy, we killed our gods back in the 19th century."
