[Tiruin]

Ask about our destination.

[Sheb]

Accost a nearby attractive passenger and say.

"Aren't you an heretic? Because I really want to impale you."

[Zako]

Just have a look outside the ship from a window or something, then ask a noble what there is to do on board.

You are stuck with the Lord General. And are still traveling through the warp.


Hmm...Good idea.

[kaian-a-coel]

Accost a nearby attractive passenger and say.

"Aren't you an heretic? Because I really want to impale you."

This line will made you an heretic.

[Shade-o]

Feeling your internal monologue run wild, you turn to the panoramic view windows. They were shuttered while travelling in the warp due to the potential risks, but are now as clear as the soul of the faithful. Stars stretch to infinity, with the galactic plane splashed across at an impractical angle. You're somewhere in the second system of the voyage, but the local star must be on the other side of the ship, and apart from some faint nebula there aren't any other celestial bodies or starships visible. From the edges of the view you can spot various protrusions from the hull, antennas and weapons batteries and other vital systems. The bulk of the ship must stretch for kilometres in each direction.

Having examined the starfield to the fullest extent, you find the nearest noble who is not enraptured by one of the Lord General's stories. She appears to be dancing in a dreamy fashion to the orchestral music floating through the ship.



^{Commissar Halian}
"Sorry to bother you, my lady, but I have spent this voyage at the side of my Lord General, and though he is a gracious host I cannot abide by this interminable politicking and chatter surrounding him. Do you have any recommendations for shipboard entertainment outside of this hall?"


^{Party Attendee}
"Of course, I understand. Commissar, is it? I hardly know why I'm aboard myself... There are numerous luxury facilities aboard, of course. This section serves only the planetary nobility and is quite small. Few think to the countless poor souls below, they tend to be on a pilgrimage or some other journey, hoping the ship docks at a name they can recognise... I imagine they hope for Holy Terra, but I can't see that happening soon.

"Where was I? Oh, entertainment, distractions, so forth? There are many services that are sworn by, but I doubt a figure of your office would find pleasure or honour in them. On the more reputable side there are holovid showings, live theatre, relaxing baths and massages, gymnasiums, and the Emperor's chapels, most importantly. I think I heard mention of a live-fire display as we pass through this system, but I don't think it will be very interesting."

[kaian-a-coel]

^{Commissar Halian}
"Live fire display? what do you mean?"

[Tiruin]

Go to the lower section and preach on how Mighty the God-Emperor is on the Golden Throne to the pilgrims!

and cast one last glance outside the windows and admire the ship once more.


Also, contemplate on the deaths of the daily thousand psykers and how you can travel through the warp. 


If not,

^{Commissar Halian}
"Live fire display? what do you mean?"

follow kaian.

[Shade-o]

^{Commissar Halian}
"Live fire display? what do you mean?"

^{Party Hard Attendee}
"I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the shipboard lances will be used to destroy some large asteroids and ice formations in the debris belt. Apparently a few centuries ago a great mess of those awful xenos came through, and a good number of their vessels were actually hollowed-out rocks from this very system! Sounds ridiculous to me, but that's why the Spirit will be shooting at them as we pass through. It's good to know such precautions are being taken to minimise any future attacks, even if it seems a bit excessive. The firing will allegedly look fantastic, but I can't abide by such crude displays. Hmmph."


You contemplate this information while staring out at the void. Your thoughts drift to the God-Emperor. You feel pretty good about that.

[kaian-a-coel]

I bet 50 thrones (imperial credits) on an Ork attack.

also did you know that the Emperor (maybe) is the only one thing that prevent EVERYTHING to die?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If the Emperor were to die, the Astronomican will fail, and all imperial space travel will become impossible. Imperium will crumble within decades, and the TYRANIDS will eat right through it, consuming all human life, then easily destroy eldars and taus, then orks (wich cannot handle the tyranids without pillaging supply from imperium), then chaos people. Without living being to drain, dark eldar will go into civil war and go extinct in no time. Then, as there is no more sentient life, daemons and chaos gods themselves, wich are reflections of mortals' emotions, will wither away like bad dreams. Only necrons will stay (and only because they are not edible. Although their new codex say that they suffered heavy damage from tyranids. So if they oppose the Hive-fleets, they will be destroyed as well.)
Within three centuries at most, the whole galaxy will be DEAD.

Anyway, take a look at the chapel and preache something to the pilgrims.

He did create the Space Marines, and spread humanity as a whole. Also, he gets one thousand souls of those that can call on the warp so he could guide every darn ship that needs to travel in space safely.

Going with the preaching thing.

"Glory to the Emperor!"

[Jerick]

Pfft.
Such a foolish general.
He dallies here while his subordantes work in his name.
It's as if he belives that nothing can go wrong, that treachery spreading through his forces in his absence is impossible.
Such an attitude invites disaster.
There is no rest for a true Imperial servant only victory, only death.
His lack of attention to his own men will likely cost him and the Imperium dearly and I'm here vainly hoping that I can somehow fix things should they go wrong.
There are so many threats a leader of men must be eternaly vigilant for and here he sits far from his forces gossiping with some irrelevant nobles.

(damn it have to go more internal rant coming later, btw my money's on genestealers.)
Continued:

Why does he think he can escape from his responsiblities as general just because there are people to whom he can delegate tasks.
And these nobles, idlling in luxury while the good men of the imperial guard die for their safety.
Every day so much is sacrficed just so xenos and traitors are held back another day.
Yet these nobles prance around as if unaware, contributing nothing to the daily struggles of the Imperium.
Doing nothing but acting as fertile ground for corruption to grow.
By the throne I hate their complancy.

[Tiruin]

Edit: There seems to be something amiss though. (everyone seems so relaxed at this moment in time.)

[Sheb]

I say we'll experience a problem when warping and face Chaos!

MEANWHILE, IN SPACE
Part 4

^{Commissar Halian}
"I'm going to the pilgrim's chapel. I can't stand these snobs any more."


^{Lord General Verhoff}
"Try and get back in a few hours, will you? We'll be blasting some rocks to dust and the lance batteries should prove quite impressive."


You find a shipboard map, and locate a chapel. It's about half a kilometre straight down. Are you sure that you want to go?
