Ravener finishes disassembling the Drone, successfully rewiring to function as a second Gunskull. Opening his satchel, he begins to modify the drone's weapon systems.

Veylis is woken by the sound of the engines, he slowly rises up, then exits his small cabin leaving his spear behind. " Damn I'm Hungry"

OCC: Nah, I wanna fight pirates
Ravener continues to rummage in his sack, bypassing the rations he has there for later. Locating the tool he was after, he turns back to the drone and continues his work.

HOurs turn into days and days turn into weeks, one by one you get used to the daily goings on about the ship. Nothing much happens, and boredom sets in.
On the second week of the journey you all hear the engines stop in thier tracks and the ship deaacelerates, an hour later the sound of metal on metal can be heard then a loud bang as something explodes...

Yr’Kron is awakened by a large explosion and falls from the ceiling onto the floor,he is still picking himself up when the alarms blurt out and is unsure of wot is happening until he hears gun fire coming from the deck above. Grabbing his weapons he rushes eagerly to the sound of the fight.
"whoever woke me is gonna be sorry" he thinks as he goes though the door flamer primed only to walk into a bloodbath.......

Veylis is in the middle of sharpening, his blade, on his cabin wall thousands of slice marks are present. He hears the gunfire and peers out of his door, grabbing his spear he walks calmly down the corridor to a lift, he presses the button, nothing, he presses again, nothing. He drives his spear deep into the control panel and twists, Veylis recievs a huge shock of electricity and flys crear across the corridor into the wall, breaking some pipes, many of them now spewing smoke and steam. Veylis gets up and walks forward, but stops suddenly, lookng about himself he feels a sharp pain in his right arm. He looks round to see it has been melded to a steam spewing pipe, pulls sharply but he does not move he yells in anger and continues to pull, but he still does not move, stopping for a moment he leans against the pipe. " Damn" Veylis closes his eyes, yells and gives one almighty pull, pulling the pipe clean off the wall, the pipe section however is still attached attached to his arm, he repaetedly pounds it against the wall desperatley trying to get it off, each time dents appear. He realises this is useless and slumps against the wall. Looking again down at the pipe, it is getting pointy towards the end, he gets back up and continues to pound the pipe at the wall, each time it looks more vicious, more deadly, more to Veylis's liking. He continues until he is happy with its shape and sharpness, looking once more at it he realises that through pain he got gain, a new weapon. A solid, sharp undroppable weapon. He looks over at the console which delivered the shock and see's his spear crackling with energy, he puts a hand over it, he pauses, hears the gunfire getting closer and steps back. He begins to move towards the door at the end of the corridor hoping to test his new toy against whatever gets in his way. ^ is that ok? I did leave his spear behind  |

Ravener finishes his modifications, snapping the drones panels shut. He shakes his head, "I never thought that hardwiring a Necron Gauss Blaster into that thing would work." He powers up the drone which unsteadidly rises into the air. It bobs and jerks while it reaffrims its motor function, then leaves a smoking crater in the wall. Ravener grins, finally glad that he had smuggled the Pirah's Warscythe all those years ago. He looks in his satchel at the broken pieces still sitting in the bottom.
The deck shook and Ravener dropped to a crouch. Hearing a gunfire from behind the door, he opened it a crack and let his gunskull go explore the ship come battlefield.

*Isn't it up to The Custodian to decide and explain what is happening, and not just have everyone assume that there is a fire fight going on? Slowing Engines, grating metal and an explosion could just be an engine failure... or Genestealers (y'know... those things that don't use weapons)  * Blaise jumped to alertness. A quick peek out of his room's door saw nothing untoward... but metal tearing and an explosion usually means no good. "At least this is physical and not a tear in the Empyrrean..." he thought. He donned his wings, the micro gravitic lifters shimmering pale azure, and strapped the grenade packs and long knife to his legs. (OOC: i am assuming that the Wings can be "swept back" so as to not hinder movement within corridors by providing unnecessary width, and that wingspan generally has little impact on technologically advanced flight... just impressiveness ) As he reached for the Sunrifle, a well crafted laser disperser designed for blinding and mass incapacitation, he looked at the Scorpion Warrior's helmet that he looted from his craftworld. Even with its tassels torn off it looked resplendent with the dark green off setting the dimly glowing orange Eldar runes. Blaise thought carefully... If he got startled whilst wearing it, he may accidentally set the Mandiblasters off in one of his accompanying mercenary's face... But if it stayed here and there was something bad going on, then it would be useless to him. "Better safe than sorry..." he thought, as he picked it up with his free hand. Visyuran cautiously walked to the door, gun pointed, and took another peek out... |

Your all seperated to an extent. Yet are all aware that you probably should make your way to the bridge, which happens to be at the front of the ship so you only need head forwards.
Ygnir: The lights are dim and flickering in your area. Possibly due to power malfunctions, unfotuanatly the only way to the bridge is through the lifts and access tunnels... Ahead you see a wall, to your left a dead end and to the right an intersection. YOu can see plasma fire arching its way down that hallway going in both directions...
zzaper: the gunskull wobles its way through the empty hallway, unlike Ygnir the lights are bright and working on your level after traveling for a few moments down to the left of your room it comes across the bloodied remains of a couple air caste members, thier bodies mutilated and burned, upon closer examination they appear to have been unarmed.Moments later contact is lost with the Gunskull.
Assimilator:You exit the room to find a pair of human servants cowering behind a makeshift barrier. Thier faces washed with fear at the situation grows even moreso at the sight of the Kroot Warrior. On the other side a trio of firearriors, the sigil of the farsight enclaves is firing. Moments later a pair of automated drones, belonging to the loyalist tau, covered in blood from a recent engagement arrive behind the humans and turn thier guns on you, seeming to take more interest in you than the firewarriors down the hall. Seconds later they open fire.
Kinetic: You exit the room and find all to be quiet, relaly quiet. YOu walk down the hall only to be thrown back as an explosion rips the wall ahead of you apart. As the dust clears you see the hole extending to another portion of the ship you recognizse as the mess. Strangely the cause of the explosion cannot be seen but you get a quick glimpse of a shimmering object beyond the wall that quickly disappears.

Veylis quickly dives back through the door way where he came from, and stands just behind the door waiting for the drones to come closer.

OCC: Tau pirates? And I'd like to note that since the gunskull was disabled, its plasma containment system would fail, most probably destroying whatever was attempting to disable it...
Note: Ravener will continue to capture and modify drones and the like, kinda of an OCD
Ravener slips on his helmet and seals it with a slight hiss. Pushing the door open, he checks down both directions and proceeds after the gun skull, his new drone covering the rear.

*OOC, How high are the ceilings and how cramped are the hallways? I'd like to know my manoeuvrability limits because, as an Eldar, i have little else Further Question: How silent would the Sun Rifle be? I'd assume that there would only be a small sound as it discharges and recharges... it is a laser after all.* This can only be bad... Blaise thought. He picked up the Scorpion's helmet he dropped and placed it over his head, ready now for any potential invaders. He floated to the ceiling and against a wall, ready to get the drop (quite literally) on any potential threat that did not look up. He flitted into the newly opened entrance to the Mess Hall and waved the gun in all directions, looking for anything that looked even vaguely unfriendly. |

Yr’Kron unbothered by the flickering lights (Vespid can see in the dark) heads toward the fire fight in the hallway.He looks round the corner quickly only to have his head almost shot off from the crossfire. There were two loyalist greyskins pinned behind a make shift barricade of furniture down the opposite end was several Traitor greyskins with a pair of small floaty thing (drones) as much as Yr’Kron would have liked to leave the greyskins to blow the hell out of each other the only route to the elevator shafts was blocked by the traitor greyskins.
Looking at the vents above him Yr’Kron had an idea!

OOC: Ygnir please dont GM like you just did, While what you did see is what is almost what you were supposed to see Id rather you didnt dictate what was occuring to you. Also the the pirates are not supposed to have drones, the ones attacking Assimilator are loyalist drones.
Ygnir: So far they havnt noticed you, the vents above are human made and porrly contructed, the recent activity has only made them weaker, from what you know they go through the entire ceiling of your floor, including to a vent that is situated behind the Farsight Tau...
Assimilator: The drones continue thier methodical firing before stopping as they are picked of by the pirate tau. As they explode they kill the other two humans hiding behind the barricade. Minutes pass, the renegade tau are unaware of your presence and begin to knock on your door...
zzaper:AS you approach the area where the gunskull had been located you notice a new pair of bodies added to the pile. ONe is indistinguishable the other obviously a tau warrior. Thier bodies have been picked clen of any usable euquipment. You are obviously not alone. Moments later the gunskull behind you registers movement around the next corner. You can also hear strange sounds coming from there. Peering around the corner you see a 5 kroot warriors, each one tattoed with the mark of the Farsight Enclaves and in the process of consuming a pair of Human corpses. While in the past the Enclaves made little to no use of Xenos recently they have been opening thier arms more and more towards xenos fleeing the Tau Empire. Seems that some kroot decided to join aswell...
Hyper Kinetic: YOu enter the mess. Inside the cieling in high enough for you to use your wings freely. On the farside you notice the door swing open and closed over and over again, obviously broken with about a 10 second interval between status. Then once again you nitce a hazy moving flicker , a couple of them, someone is using stealth tech around you because with your hearing you sense thier breathing and steps... And they are coming closer.
