A Heretek on the Quest for Knowledge [40k] [Complete]

Reader mode
Je... i do not think the shady inquisitor should lay a finger on our shinies. Especially given how insistant he is the sneaker.

[x] You are absolutely not letting him turn a mind control box on. Who does he think you are?Genetor?

-[x] I will be blunt. Err, blunter. You have aprofessional deformation. Decades of babysitting church officials will do that. I can relate. They think this box is dangerous. They may be right - a lot of things are dangerous to them. Like forks. Or rooms with hard walls. So you keep their forks in a locked box. I am not them. I am smart enough to deal with this thing, I will be discreet enough to keep it close to me and I will fight tooth and nail to keep it, just as I do now. Your concerns are invalid. You failed to persuade me, not surprisingly, given your negotiation position of "give me your shinies asap". And you are outgunned. So let's start this over with this question: what will make you be okay with me keeping this box?
-[x] Waiting for his reply, you send an order to take different route back to temple. There has to be an ambush if you just backtrack.

Since it's very close, I'm going to let it run for a bit longer. I'm probably going to call the vote in 2 or 3 hours.

Now that is just not happening. You tighten your grip around your precious archeotech. He's going to have to pry your cold, dead fingers off of it if he wants to take it from you. You order a change in the route back. Don't want to walk into an ambush. The Onager starts moving again. But you don't really want a fight, so you give talking another shot, even if your patience is running out.

"I will be blunt. You have a professional affliction. Decades of babysitting church officials will do that. I can relate. They think this box is dangerous. They may be right - a lot of things are dangerous to toddlers. Like forks. Or rooms with hard walls. So you keep the forks in a locked drawer, and pad the walls. But I wasn't born yesterday. Heh, I'm older than their little prayer party. I am wise enough to deal with this thing. I will be discreet enough to keep it close to me and I will fight tooth and nail to keep it, just as I do now. Your concerns are invalid. You failed to persuade me, not surprisingly, given your negotiation position of 'give me your shinies asap'. And you are outgunned. So let's start this over with this question: what will make you be okay with me keeping this box?"

He keeps smiling all through your little speech, even nodding along at times. When you're finished, he pauses for a moment, as if waiting for you to continue. Then he starts to speak.

"It saddens me that you hold the Ecclesiarchy in such low esteem. Your fighting spirit is admirable, but I feel a bit more respect for His other servants would aid you greatly. Without mutual respect there can be no true spirit of cooperation, and I feel cooperation between His servants is most important. That said, what can you do to make me 'okay' with granting you the guardianship of this artifact? Well, the first part would be the natural, obvious step of ascertaining you suitability"- out of the corner of your eye you see a flicker, and you just have time to make out the gun barrel pointing at you, hear the crack before…

Can you tell when he gave the order to kill everybody?

A few comments, since I didn't want to tack them on the end of the post. Would've somewhat ruined the impact, I think.

Lychinus is technically correct, he is older then the Ecclesiarchy, in the most pedantic way.

If your wondering: Yes, you were kinda screwed after he tracked you down. Bad luck that. A more diplomatic character could've handed the box over and then talked his way into the position of chief researcher. Anyway, you ran him down to about plan E, so I guess that's an accomplishment.

Also, attacking would've very quickly gone towards the official, actively hunted Heretek rout. The Inquisition does not like other people killing its members.

I kinda doubt the Inquisition will care if we killed him in self defence or aggression.
So Heresy or death now, unless something breaks up the fight.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Self-defence is iffy, but acceptable in principle. Attack first? Unless he was clearly completely nuts (as in raving about the dark gods nuts), that's a no-go. Three options: A) you're an Inquisitor, then there's a good chance they'll accept that (unless your blatantly wrong). B) You're not an Inquisitor, but probably acted in the interest of the Imperium: They'll recruit you, so you'll be Inquisition anyway. However, since your techpriest, that's troublesome. C) You die.

Because their reputation is one of their most cherished and effective weapons. Letting anybody attack an Inquisitor and get away with it would set a very bad precedent.
