Hail, Children of Technololgy!
Tis I, Redbranch, Here to bring you my deeds of violence from the last two weeks here in the land of the young!
Well, it has been madness the last two weeks and especially last Sunday's Dark Heresy game; Oh god, it was absolute mayhem and not in the good way. Im not sure whether it was just one of those days but nothing went to plan. The acolytes were given a mission by their newly introduced Inquisitorial handler, Zane Lazerus, and were sent to the Hive World of Baraspine to try and uncover whether there was a terrorist plot against the Adeptus Administratum at hand. In the Party we have Sister Ophelia, a Sister of the Orders Millitant of the Adepta Sororitas. Secondly we have Darius Pierce (no pun intended i ashure you), a slightly simple minded yet compitent assassin and finally we have Randolf Tideman, a sarcastic ex Armageddon Steel Legion guardsman turned Mercenary. They were sent directly to Hive Primarius, the center of population of the planet and massive manufactorum hive city built up around great Cogitator Manufactorums. They were set three objectives. Firstly to investigate the Administratum Central building in the Upper Hive for evidence of corruption or reason for there to be a Terrorist organisation wanting to target them. Secondly, to investigate why the Chapel Ministorum of this hive had not made contact to the Ecclesiarchy in near to 5 years. and Finally to investigate recent reports of rising gang activity in the lower hives and Hive Bottom, Particularly around the area of a sump bar called Black Acid. A simple adventure with a structure that moves from the top to the bottom, Obviously the acolytes didn't realise this structure and after having their Arvus Lighter land at near to the Adeptus Administratum building at hive top, the group decided that it was a good idea to go straight to hive bottom and investigate the gang activity first. They found a public train and headed down hive as far as the train track would go, and after nearly 12 hours of travel, they reached their destination. Hive Bottom was not a pretty sight and the acolytes were not prepaired for the desolation that they found themselves in. All the buildings were little more than ruins and the people stared out from cracks in their plascreet hovels. They found a place to haul up amongst the ruins for a few hours to rest, so while Sister Ophelia and Darius slept, Tideman kept guard. the night passed not so quitely and after Tideman had had his rest the party headed out in search of the Black Acid. After walking for not a great deal of time, they came to their destination. The only complete building for miles around, the Black Acid seemed to be a hotspot for general louts and vagabonds to congregate and survive in the squaller of the underhive. the acolytes entered after eyeing up a group of youths outside to find the inside as welcoming as the out. on the inside sat the dregs of the underhive, deep in their drinks with a bunch of what can only be gangers all with snake tattoos on their faces in the corner. a few drinks and some gold were exchanged at the bar and the Acolytes found out that there was a great dislike for the upper hives here. the night seemed to thin out the patrons of the bar a great deal and after an hour the Acolytes were told to leave. Insults and harsh comments were thrown by the youths outside on the groups exit that nearly resulted in the death of a 13 year old boy at the end of a las pistol, never piss of an Ex steel legionnaire, its just not a good idea. the group then found a ministorum building that gave shelter to the down and out, by locking them in with each other so that they could do no harm to the people of the underhive, and thats where the group spent the rest of the night. in the morning, after Ophelia had done her prayers, the group headed out once more, this time to not just to scout the Black Acid but to break in and see what it was hiding. they managed to successfully break the locks on the back entrance and headed down to the cellar. after searching for a few minutes, Ophelia stumbled across a note that read "3 days from now, Garrets Rise. R" in a crate and upon the other side was a printing mark that told the acolytes that it came from the Adeptus Administratum building in the Upper Hive. On the way out, Darius found a secret compartment that lead to a shrine of sorts. the shrine was basic and contained a propeganda poster for a group called "The Violet Dawn" which displayed a snake upon it and a set of drawers containing a set of weapons and flyers with the same message as the poster. What could all this mean? who is R and what are the connections between the Violet Dawn and the Black Acid bar? well you'll have to wait til tomorrow to find out more as im too tired to continue writing.
Until Tomorrow atleast, Keep your Blades enriched with Deeds of Violence!
