New Crewmate

Samuel slowly edged back from the admittedly disturbing figure of their new crewmate, a Psyker that they had brought aboard at the request of a Inquisitor, the individual's eyes and mouth sewn shut with golden thread and their hands were chained together with adamantium cuffs bearing several different types of locks.

He turns to Doc with a 'get this fucking thing out of my face' look, and Doc wanders over and leads the Psyker away, leaving Samuel holding the file that had been given to him by the Inquisitor...

Name: None (Mindcleansed)

Age: 30

Weight: 100 lbs

Height: 6'6

Gender: F

-

He shivers at the thought of a Mind Cleanse, the very idea of having someone that had been... emptied out on board sending a shiver down his spine.

Cargo Hold Tales

(Zeta is a Hoarder, he rarely gives up his tech)

I'll be revealing bits and pieces of technology that Zeta and Co. dug up or recovered on their hunts, from ancient and long damaged devices recovered from the personal effects of long dead Spacers to weapons and armor from the Heresy.

One section of the Cargo Hold being the Dangerous Section where they place anything that has some form of 'sentience' or appears to be a ancient weapon.

Example for the Dangerous Section: The DAOT Medicae Armor, it's system is reading all life signs as hostile so it constantly attempts to perform a field vivisection.

Example for the rest of the Hold: Ancient Word Bearer armor that still bears the Aquila and Purity seals, a long dead marine held within.

Samuel Facts

He has lots of stories to tell, though most of them are talking about how he and Zeta survived when a lot of their previous team members died.

Discovery: Medicae Power Armor (DAOT)

Samuel coughs, slowly pushing his intestines back into his stomach as Sasha helps him, the CQC expert having gotten his gut split open by one of the Abominable Intelligences that had been onboard the ancient vessel when the Team had boarded...

Doc was examining one of the corpses of the former crew, jumping back and falling onto the ground as rusted Mechadendrites and Servoarm's creaked to life, everyone else in the team aiming their weapons in his direction, even Samuel had his Plasma Pistol in one hand and aiming.

-

Zeta skitters over to the body and begins to examine it, a chant in Binary erupting from their voice box, as they begin to examine the corpse and call out "hmm... it seems to be a set of Power Armor... removing helmet..." their hands reach out and tug, breaking the seal that had long held out, and revealing the mummified face of a female "...Female operator, Eric and Sasha aid me in carrying the body back to our vessel. Nothing else onboard is useful to us." They see the two move towards the body, their eyes focusing on the wounded Samuel, quickly getting closer and setting to work with a machine like precision of stitching the wounds closed and gently lifting the man into their arms.

"The legs? Just helped that scrap for brains Techpriest I work under find a piece of tech he wanted during my time on a backwater world my Da' decided needed a 'Adviser from Cadia' after the orks tore em off... after that he got me some new legs and brought me into his service. Oldest member of the team besides this old guy we call Doc, frak if I know his real name and I doubt he knows it either... but that man has Forgotten more about the Imperium and humanity then anyone short of the Emperor."

Samuel shrugs before patting the doctor on the back, a pouch of Throne Gelt in his other hand which he offers to the Doctor "Here Doc, I have plenty stocked up and most aren't willing to deal with me after they hear I work for a Mechanicus member, frakking idiots all say 'oh why don't you go to your Boss for more metal in ya tin man?' Don't know who pissed in their rations..."

“I’m glad we shared a tender moment.” Cassius states sarcastically. (@ask-the-hive-doc ,for any team member(s) you feel like)

Samuel grunted as he stood up, checking that all of his equipment was still in the right places before responding "I was quite fond of it as well Doc, the scent of blood and bodily fluids... reminds me of the time I had a power fist buried in a Ork's skull as it tore my legs off." He laughs before continuing "Thanks for the help anyways, Zeta's idea of patching up any wound is to shove some bit of tech in to replace it... and the Hospitaller on board doesn't really have any good facilities beyond the very basic stuff we need on the less dangerous Explorations we go on."

Samuel

"Grew up on Cadia you know? Know more about how to take apart a Las-Weapon and put it back together then I know about anything else... never knew my Ma, she died before I could ever remember her, her chainsword having claimed the Traitor who killed her...

Da' raised me for most of my life, never really met anyone beyond him due to the fact that the last time I was around kids my own age... well let's just say we all had some pretty bad injuries, but I got away with some lashes while they got the majority of the punishment from the man in charge of the Whiteshield regiment... My Da' pulled some strings and moved me under his command, started teaching me the ways of being a general and ordering others around the field.

By the time I was about twenty was when I earned my first command, served my time there until I got moved back under my Da' for a few years... then I got sent to Armageddon, fucking shithole of a planet that was... lost both my fuckin' legs to a Ork that somehow made it's way into my damn command center, still managed to bury my power fist in it's skull and a blast from a Commissar's bolt pistol finished it off.

Got dropped from active service, my Da' deciding to move me to a out of the way planet in some backwater sector where I was to be the PDF 'Adviser'... got found by Zeta not long after, joined up with him after I helped him find some ancient piece of tech he wanted, he got me some new legs and gave me the chance to go out and kick some teeth in.

Now... Fuckin' Cadia is shards, the galaxy got ripped open harder then a Ogryn's rations, the fuckin' robot skeleton fuckers are on the move, and Zeta is extremely curious about the damn skeleton's tech.

Zeta is also curious about something he found in a letter from my Da', a mention of a 'cursed gene'... I told him off for even reading my mail, then told him that he'd just have to pay attention next time I fight a Psyker, Eldar, or Daemon..."

Exploration: Derelict Vessel Part 2

Zeta steps back as the door slowly falls free, his Power Axe having cut apart the long closed airlock, Samuel immediately moving forward with Rusty to secure the other side, only for Sam to pause as he spots the heaped up corpses of long dead humans that were postioned around the entranceway to the Airlock.

He turns and gestures the rest of the team forward, Zeta skittering forward into the room first before the others could enter, the Priest already beginning to examine the corpses for any technology or documents. Samuel keeps his attention down the corridor as the rest of the team filters in, only ending his watch when Sasha says "we are all in... by the Emperor... what could have done this?" Zeta speaking up before anyone else could, the Priest's voice audible even without using the Vox, "THEY WERE POISONED I BELIEVE, I CAN NOT FIND ANY INJURIES FROM WEAPONS FIRE, AND THE COMMON SIGNS OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION ARE NOT THERE... YET WHATEVER POISON WAS USED AGAINST THEM KILLED EVEN THE BACTERIA ONBOARD THIS VESSEL..."

Samuel turns as Rusty shouts in a heavily digitized voice "Unknown contacts coming this way!" The former Guardsman spotting the figures slowly growing nearer and ducking back into cover, Eric and Doc taking cover behind him as he, Sasha, and Rusty prepare to fire...

[explorator-team-zeta]

🚪- They hear someone knock on their door (for rusty)

Rusty just forces the door open, aiming their Sun Gun through it with a mechanical roar rising from their throat.

🐱 - A time they found a stray animal (for the hospitaller)

Sasha drops from her pullup bar as she says "hmm... I found a small pup on one of the Explorations, it was a former human world... little pup followed the team around for days with Sam trying to get us to leave it alone. I told him to go fuck himself, picked the pup up and carried it around with me the whole time I was on planet... turned out Sam was right, but he was just being a dick about it."

She shudders before saying "That little dog ate his way through nearly two days of our rations, puked all over the place, pissed all over, and crapped on my armor and my bedroll..."

[explorator-team-zeta]

Exploration: Derelict Vessel

Samuel slowly reads through the report that Zeta had given him before pushing him out of the bridge, only pausing when he reaches the final portion of the file that reads 'Unknown Era, Extreme Caution advised.'

He shakes his head before beginning to get into his gear, grabbing a nearby Vox and saying into it "Team Zeta members please report to the Briefing Room, I repeat Team Zeta members to the Briefing Room." As he finishes dressing in his Void suit he looks at his weapons and grabs his Volley Gun and Plasma Pistol, leaving his Missile Launcher in the locker.

-

Sasha wipes away the sweat as she walks down the corridors of the small ship, soon arriving at the Briefing Room and spotting Samuel typing away at a monitor and reading off a report quietly to himself. She grabs her chair and slides into it, leaning back as the rest of the team slowly filter in.

-

Doc slowly walks in with the aid of a Cane, the old man soon taking his chair as he turns towards Sam and says "Let me guess... another Derelict Ship?" The former Guardsman nodding to him as he finishes typing into the machine, the old man sighing as he says "Great... I'll pack some extra medical supplies."

-

Eric walks in with the same ever present grin, only raising a single eyebrow at Sam who says "Derelict Ship, another mystery... leave the missiles and pack another melee weapon."

-

Sam soon turns to his teammates and says "this exploration is of a Derelict Vessel, unknown Era so this could be anywhere from a Dark Age vessel to a vessel of the current time, having gotten lost thanks to the Warp again... anyways, pack up close range weapons and some weapons that won't punch a hole through the armor, I doubt any of you want to see what happens after that..."

He soon begins the briefing in earnest, going for several hours before finishing with a "stay alive, stay close."
