We lose an arm or an leg. A temmmate or two. Maybe we fail to save any of the prisoners. We get away and the berserker still lives. Cue rivalry. All of what I wrote. More along these lines, at least for me, since Sigismund is our main hero and while injuries are expected...at this rate we'll end up a dreadnought. Which to be fair, I love them, but I also love the idea of living up to the name we picked without knowing anything about who Sigismund was and is to our Chapter.
I didn't think we'd be the ones with such severe, crippling, wounds, but that we could get our squad severely wounded or killed and/or fail the objective.
The vote text specifically mentioned the possibility of death or injury. We were scouts who'd decided to kill a berserker, we weren't going to come out anywhere near intact.

It is not the fact that we nearly died and got a brother killed, it's the elements of the update that were not mentioned as being possibilities or risks in or during the vote.
Like, come on, even the GM admitted he made a mistake. Stop going "Everything is fine".

Sigismund still has more limbs than MAC Daddy Papa Smurf. Also, this was against a Blood Champion and not an oversized bug. Ergo, Dorn>Ultra Papa Smurf!

Brothers, do not fall into the thrall Xeno techno-heresy !!!

We'd be an outcast among the Black Templars if we accept this poisoned chalice. The Emperor Protects !! Have faith!!
We should only accept the Xeno bionics if we plan to go to Deathwatch or some other inquisitorial detail and plan to eventually become an inquisitor or something. A space marine inquisitor with Xeno bionics isn't that big of a deal.
But a Black Templar brother with Xeno filth in his body won't be tolerated by the Chapter for long. It would poison our relations with the whole chapter. We can kiss goodbye to dreams of leadership positions.

Shocked, shocked I say that rushing in when seriously disadvantaged would end poorly, though would agree the heavy bolter could been more useful.

We can't really do anything else without becoming a bigger pariah already thanks to our name, so saving the Rogue Trader's daughter was pointless or at least for the inmediate future.
No but Yarrick is one of the greatest Imperial heroes in the Imperium whom even Orks fear and Space Marines kneel to, we're a total nobody among a million.

[X] Write In: Refuse implantation for now, but ask her to keep them for when we may have need of them later.
Yarrick earned his Ork Claw after decades of war. So will Sigismund.

Ha! Figured that'd happen - I actually thought it'd be way worse, I expected at least three of our squad to die and the rest to be permanently mangled. But the power of excessive pessimism strikes once more - now I'm both right and pleasantly surprised!

Guys, this was what the vote was for (that and other reasons - foolhardiness, not quite grasping what would happen, guilt on my part over something completely different that I wasn't even there for - a whole plethora of Dornian reasons) - the favor of a rogue trader is a rare thing, and the fact that we get some form of reward for rescuing her ass is a pretty good recompense for sacrificing Bayard and most of our limbs. Plus she's said they're mostly indistinguishable from normal implants, or am I misreading there, @ManInACandyVan? Will our brothers (and more importantly, the apothecary) know if we get this alien tech implanted, or if we don't necessarily know, do we have reason to believe that it'll be hard for them to tell?

I am sorry, but have you reported to the Chaplain recently? Sounds like you need a visit for suggesting that the sacrifice of our brothers is equivalent to some war gear.

This feels like a real 40K story. Of course, Sigi's current status is a heavy handicap for the quest, but we reap what we sow.

Nah, even normal prosthetics are really good in 40k.
Well, not the crap-tier quality some mortals get, but with a Rogue Trader paying the bill that shouldn't be a risk.
They should be a minor handicap once we learned to use them.
