What do you think about adding:

-[ ] Are there any weak-minded Lackies? Get Magi, puppet them, send them to kill other Lackies. One of them should go for Annaelsa and whiff it. Get everyone paranoid about everyone else instead of wondering why Lot would go after Shexia.
 
[X] Try and frame Lot for being fallen to Chaos - pin the Maleovlent and the kidnapping on him
- [X] Lot is too closely connected to be easy to frame, but perhaps if the real Lot was killed days ago and replaced by an ally of the Chaos Marines under a sleeper protocol it could explain everything, with this being that cults backup plan. Infiltration may have gone further then just him, so security measures must be taken to safeguard the leadership and make sure no others have been replaced. These security measures of course will leave many open to a potential Kiss

There's always brainwashing/mind control. If we managed to do it to Shexia, I have to think that a sufficiently determined Chaos Cult could do something similar to Lot.

I do have an idea for how we can sell it. Shexia can use biomancy to fake some mutation on Lot's body. She's spent enough time with our biomancers to have picked up a thing or two. Sure, his head's been blown clean off, but I have to think that it will take a bit before cellular death is complete. Hard to argue with incontrovertible evidence like mutation.

Edit: It won't take much. A small patch of mutated skin that looks like a symbol of the Ruinous Powers should be enough to do the job.
In fact, @DragonCobolt, does this work as a write-in?

Mutation...works, actually. That's really good.

-[X] Shexia uses her skill at biomancy to create a small but clearly chaotic symbol on Lot's body before cellular death kicks in. At the same time the Cult kicks into action and plants evidence that Lot was responsible for the sabotage suffered by the Marines Malevolent and the kidnapping. Shouldn't be too hard, seeing as we know how those incidents occurred.
Feedback is again, always appreciated.

Come on, we're just a few actions away from the finish line. At the very least, I'd like to use the Inquisition's actions a bit more before we finally pull the trigger. Plus, I have to think Shexia will be a more effective and believable agent if her lackey's haven't taken serious casualties under mysterious circumstances.

I'm not exactly a fan of this method. A perfect duplicate managing to hide their deception for multiple days from everyone who he'd need to fool is just too hard to swallow imo. Plus, we don't even know that the Chaos Space Marines are even interested in this filthy planet.

I mean, the just attacked house Mark! Only defeated by a brave noblewoman and miscommunication with the PDF

Can we have Shexia's asset ability as one of the things we can get from slurping up the =][= section instead of a point? Unique abilities are nice and flavorful.

Sure!

Also, what's interesting is...resolving this (mark and inquisitor) leaves basically the Arbites, the PDF, and the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Once you have the entire planet under your control, the quest ends!

Wait what?

I thought this was the first scenario not the total of it.

Sequel ala what you did with the RT quests?

So don't scale them beyond a planet. The difficult nature of Warp travel means that any new infection vectors won't be getting much support from Thedias Prime, especially since the infiltrations will need to be covert. I have been imagining a quest where Shexia and company are sent to spread revolution to a much larger world (like a Subsector or Sector Capital), one that has more Imperial companies which need to be subverted before the planet is ours.

That's fair.

Though, hmm. It's not like we want to stick around, not with an Inquisitor in the Sector. I always felt like our win condition was growing our bioship so we can get off this piece of shittocky planet before the Imperium realizes it has something new on its hands.

Ah.

So do Sisterhood of the Leviathan Act 2 with another system or something improvised?

You used a system meant to play Mass Effect to play SupCom very effectively once...
