Depends on the Favor of the Warp before they decided they had enough fun dicking with us then
At least we didn't start a war and then leave.

Details! The phrase holds true! I dunno where the phrase came from, but it holds true! This was a success for us personally on every level. Now we just need to survive this series of warp jumps!

Hey we did get something though:
What Mark of armor do the Templar normally use?
We do need a suit for our next Aspirant.
Mark VII.
More importantly, you've got some extra Gene Seed if you want to recruit some dudes for your Warband too.
This was an option opened up in this route, that you'd have a few exchanges with a Templar in melee, and assuming you killed him fast enough, you'd have taken his body and wargear. You just happened to wreck him in the first hit because loldice. Chaos Lord, you wouldn't care, March of the Battallion, Valioth would have claimed such things for his own use.

that is true.
Costs of aspirants:
Astartes Suit = 10,000 wealth
Ceramics & drugs in food for bone density and proper growth = 1,200 wealth
Astartes weapons (non power, standard grade) = ~500 wealth per weapon (need multiple, at min 1 melee and 1 ranged weapon).
About 3x the cost for power weapon, so 2 power weapons would be ~3000 wealth
The suit is the biggest expense and we just snagged one. although it would need to be refitted for a fem marine.
I agree, I was trying to be a funny guy

Who's the GM here?
I'm telling you as the omniscient writer of the story, that I'm not going to basically shit on all of the development you've already had. You're just going on a bit of an adventure before you get back home, to provide a timeskip so that you get back right when you have an actual Civilized World under your aegis, and the ability to work on your own.
These things would have happened no matter what route was picked.

Well, I think that we've found our real beneficiaries, as far as warp spirits go. If we believe in them hard enough, can they become actual luck gods?
why do we lose our planet? to my knowledge the imperials have no idea where the planet it

Did.... did we just re-enact the Morpheus rescue scene? With us as Morpheus? Does that mean Lilith is The One?
Sweet. Loot tally:
1 Retrofitted freighter
1 Guncutter
1 Suit of Mark VII Power Armour
1 Undamaged Geneseed
+ Whatever gear and minions came with the ship and how much loot Cobalt and Lilith were able to grab.
Fucking Score!

We didn't. Veekie misunderstood the situation.

Hmm. On the upside, we seem to have acquired another set of Power Armor (heavily used). And those are expensive.
On the downside, well, we're going on a little trip... Hopefully we'll find something awesome on the way back home.

I do not see this as a downside. Every would-be Evil Overlord requires the occasional vacation.
Even though we sort of left all of our books behind, dammit.

This reminds me of an idea I had for when we start conquering the rest of our planet.
We should have Cobalt attach a lasgun to out left forearm. Hooked to our suits reactor and coolant system, it would be a side arm with unlimited ammo. Great for dealing with large numbers of squishies. Saves wasting bolt ammo that's actually valuable.
Oh, and one for Lilith too.

QM said that the trip is an excuse to time skip basic development. we are going to come back to find that the demense finished uplifting to standard age.
Makes sense since we left behind mara with a force armed with and able to pruduce laz weapons and flakweave armor, we set up a self expanding system of roads via training road builders who can train more roadbuilders, we did a jumpstart package for uplift, and our heretek allies are experts in divining the future so they might have sent someone there to make sure our army builds up properly as a nice gift for us when we return.
probably the templar's weapons too, so astartes grade bolter and maybe a chain sword

We have Mara with us, but we did leave 3 Platoon of Tower Guard, Cobalts staff, the Clinic staff and all the industrial stuff we started.

Oh, that's a thing. The Black Templars have that Oath to never drop their weapons. They chain their weapons to themselves, so we defiantly have his gear.

What a minute. It's mentioned that the Gene-seed of a marine is only viable for harvest a short time after death....
Mara break out the surgery equipment and get the things harvested and safe ASAP! A second viable source of Gene-seed is not something we want to loose.

That is a remarkably good idea, like a storm bolter, but with functionally infinite ammo. And the power armor might not be too shot up, depends on if they thought their Battle Brother was injured or if they knew he was dead.

Even if it's shot up, repairing a Mark VII is a lot cheaper than buying/building a new one.
