Warhammer 40k CYOA

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Threaten to do worse things, but no physical harm.

[Groddil]

"Tell me, Jane. Has a nice ring to it, no? Jane Doe. A nobody. Nobody cares about you. Nobody will be at your funeral, because unless you tell me what I need to know, you won't be getting one. Tell me, Jane, have you heard of the Nine Actions?"
The woman shakes her head.
"You see Jane, when people like me need to get information from people like you, we follow nine key steps. Step one: Verbal interrogation. Step two: Explaining the rest of the actions."
You pause briefly, but the woman's expression does not change.
"If that is not enough, step three: Light physical torture followed by verbal interrogation. Still refusing to talk? Step four: Light physical torture and psychological manipulation. Step five: Psychic interrogation with possible light torture and verbal interrogation. Now, Jane, I don't expect you to get to five, let alone past it, but we will continue anyway."
You replace the blindfold and gag.
"Step six: Sensory and physical deprivation. Feeling afraid of the dark? Claustrophobic? Trust me, Jane, this will be a lot easier for you if you talk now. Step seven, intensive psychic interrogation that would most likely fry your brain. Step eight, psycho-chemical drugs. I don't see any need to elaborate further, as if you make it to the drugs, the pain probably isn't an issue anymore, is it?"
Your remove the blindfold and gag once more, speaking in but a whisper.
"Do you want to hear the ninth action, Jane? Are you sure? What do you have to hide?"
The woman stares downward briefly, but soon regains eye contact.
"The ninth action. Brutal, unrelenting torture, both physical and mental. By this point, its safe to say you aren't going to talk, and the procedure is only continuing for my enjoyment. Verbal interrogation will only follow if you survive, and by that point, the bullet to the skull you'll receive after you open up will be a welcome relief."
You stand up and move the chair back to its original position.
"So, Jane. Will you talk now?"
"..."
"Have it your way, bitch."

What do you do?

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Apply light physical torture.

[Groddil]

You rip the bandage from the civilian's leg.
"You took a bullet well, Jane. But you have something I need to take."
You reach over to the nearby table. Several instruments have been laid out by the Arbites, including a thin blade that you take from the table. Your servoskull hovers expectantly, as you insert the blade into a socket. After a short period, the servsoskull ejects the instrument, which you tap to the woman's wound.
"You can avoid all of this, you know. What could possibly be worse?"
"..."
You shrug, inserting the electrified blade. The woman, to your surprise, barely flinches.
"You know, Jane, there's something... Wrong, here. Do you know what that is?"
The woman shakes her head.
"Talk, Jane. Or you'll find out."
"..."
You place the blade back on the table and pick up a small length of rope.
"You know, Jane, I was taught something very important before I met you. The best way to make a woman talk is to stop her from being able to talk."
You slip the rope around the woman's neck and hook it around a light fixture. You feed the end of the rope into your Servoskull's port, and instruct it to move away. The rope soon becomes taught, allowing you to haul on it twice, lifting the woman just above her seat.
"Feel that, Jane? Getting hard to breathe? Now think of this experience, and think this: How do I possibly make this worse? Want to know? The answer? It's called... Step six."
As the woman begins to slow her struggles, you cut the rope, sending her falling back into the chair.
"Jane, I don't really have the time to go through all nine actions. So why don't you tell me what I need to know?"
"..."

What do you do?

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Check the woman's eyes to see if she displays the signs of any drug use.

[Groddil]

"Something's wrong with you, Jane. Let me get a closer look at that eye of yours..."
You inspect the woman's eye, but see nothing unusual.
"Onto stage four, then. Get up."
You slash the bindings around the woman's legs. Before you can react, she kicks your leg, sending a stabbing pain throughout your foot as barbed chains wrap themselves around you.
"What. The. Fu-"
A strong blast blows you backwards, ripping the chains from the floor and smashing you into the far wall. The woman's hand lights up as she prepares to fling a ball of purple fire at you, when you suddenly black out. As you come too, you watch yourself leaping from the window. You stare down at your body, but are greeted with the rags of the woman. You, or rather, your body, has disappeared with all of your possessions. Well, almost all of them. Your autopistol is going to be missing a round when you finally retrieve it, if the bullethole in the head of the guardsman is anything to be believed. You notice the scalpel lying on the floor next to you, and quickly conceal it just before Tarrius dashed into the room, pointing his rifle at you.
"No sudden moves, lady. Where's the boss, and what just happened?"

[Lady Ashenwyte]

"Right, Tarrius, now I can't go out looking like this, can I? Be a good fellow and get me something that an agent of the Emperor's Inquisition would wear."

[Groddil]

"Right, Tarrius, now I can't go out looking like this, can I? Be a good fellow and get me something that an agent of the Emperor's Inquisition would wear."
"Hmm? Yeah, yeah, 'course, boss."
You settle into a chair, trying to ignore the seething pain in your leg, and wait for your lackey to return.



Before too long, the Guardsman returns with a large bag, which he places at your feet.
"Set of female Arbites Carapace armor. Should fit you. Best I can do, bit suspicious, but we should find something that'll let you blend in later on. For now, this'll do."
Having re-bandaged your leg to the best of your ability, you shrug on the armor and take a shock maul from the bag.
"Let's get you back topside. Patch up that leg."



Thankfully, the journey back is largely uneventful, and you are soon limping back into the treasurer's quarters. Benedict is studying several papers laid over the desk, when he eyes you.
"Tarrius... Where's the boss, and what's with the Arbiter?"
"Long story. This is the boss."
"really bad stuff."
You clear your throat.
"It's true, Benedict. We captured an Underhive [sable] for interrogation, but it turns out she was a Psyker. [toad]ed up one of her powers, and we ended up switching bodies. She got away before I could find a way to reverse it."
"[weasel]."
"Got a medkit? Boss is wounded."
"Yeah, somewhere around here..."
Tarrius goes to collect the medkit while Benedict points you to the planning wall.
"Oh yeah, boss. Did some research while you two were down there..."

Tasks to be completed

Phase #0

Get off this rock

- Need co-operation of local Arbites. To-do: Boss. The Arbites are pretty busy at the moment, but if you keep helping them out, it shouldn't be long before we can get their help in getting offworld.
- Find and commandeer a warp-capable ship. To-do: Tarrius/Boss. Still unsure as to this, boss. The docks are empty of anything warp-capable, considering that all incoming ships were ordered to drop off their cargo and go. We might be able to make sure that the next ship stays around, but who knows when that'll be?

Locate the Pillar of Eternity

- Need warp-capable ship. Could be anywhere.
- Last known signal in Korz system, before going Vox silent. Presumably still in this Sector somewhere.
- Search for debris or warp phenomena in nearby systems?
- Nothing to report on Sahrafin.

Phase #1 - Sahrafin

Investigate disappearances in the Underhive

- Chaos Cults? Connected to the Bloodthirster?
- Criminal gangs? Not the kind of thing gangs usually pull off. Considering the underhive's a warzone now, we're looking at something more powerful than street gangs.
- Connection to recent unrest?
- Connection to the "Singing?"

Find and neutralise the summoner of the Bloodthirster

- Chaos Cults? Most likely based in Underhive, away from Adeptus Arbites.
- How could Bloodthirster get to Upper Hive?
- Connections to/grudge against government or Inquisition?

Destroy Bloodthirster

- This is gonna suck.
- Ample firepower needed. Backup? Check with Arbites.
- Little to no new shipments to Sahrafin. Stuck with whatever we can find on the planet.
- Find ASAP, before we lose the trail.

Purge any Orks that survived the crash

- Ship's location unknown. Ask natives.
- Need to arrange transport to crash site.
- Secure Melta weaponry or equivalent.

Phase #2 - Arcanis

Eliminate heretics in the government

- Need ship to leave Sahrafin.
- Feudal world, segregation. Likely the average citizens will not know anything.
- Tread cautiously. Hard to leave Arcanis if trapped without a ship.
- Need files on government leaders. To-do: Tarrius. Dealt with already.

Destroy Webway gate

- Presume Heavy Eldar Guard. Will need backup or ship. Secure aid of government first?
- Anti-air? Eldar ships? Need to ensure area is safe to assault.

Phase #3 - Scylla System

Find Inquisitor Janus

- Investigating heresy on Vokk. Ordo Hereticus, senior Inquisitor. Not reported to have [toad]ed around.
- Info on Vokk needed. To-do: Tarrius. I did some research on Vokk while you two were gone.
- Heavy Xenos activity in the system. Tau? Orks? Eldar?
- Forge world, Adeptus Mechanicus are highly involved in all aspects of planetary life. Imperial Guard garrison smaller than usual, but higher level of Mechanicus enforcers. Higher than standard working conditions for a forge world, though not by much, and most workers are Servitors, not human. Outside the built-up areas of the planet, the planet is a toxic wasteland incapable of supporting life.

Organise Exterminatus of Shayl.

- Ork-infestation. Planet must be completely destroyed.
- Feral world prior to infestation. Little survivors, important personnel evacuated.
- Need heavy firepower. Find more ships. Imperial Navy? Space Marines?
- Tempest's Claws should be looked to for assistance. To-do: Boss.
- Imperial Navy? Unknown as to numbers in the Sector. Look into. To-do: Tarrius. Guess we're unlucky, boss. We're on the frontier, so good luck getting the Navy. They pretty much [toad]ed off back to where they were needed when the Space Marines took over the War with the Tau. Best bet is probably the space marines.

Phase #4 - War against the Tau

- Need more information. Contact Temptest's Claws.
- Chapter is stationed on Hakahto, a feral world in the Scylla system. Once we've got a ship, we should go see the Marines as soon as we can, boss.

"So. What now, boss? Presumably, we need to try and get your body back. Unless you like being a psyker."
"Wait, what?"
Tarrius looks up from where he is working on your leg.
"True. I've seen it happen, remember? You two switched souls, not powers. She might be in your body, but she can't melt our faces off when we go to get her back."
"Wait. So I can..."
"Probably not. You're not trained. You'd go to toss a fireball at her, and you'd probably shatter into a million pieces or some really bad stuff like that. Bad idea."
"How am I supposed to replicate this then?"
"We just need to get you two close together. The effect reverses on its own after a little while, but you two can't be on opposite ends of the Hive for that to happen."
"Anything else?"
Benedict reaches into a desk draw and spreads the three items you recovered from the Inquisition office onto the desk.
"I've been trying to see what I can learn from these, but I haven't found much. The gun is [toad]ed, obviously, crushed and snapped. That would be the Bloodthirster. Still, nothing of any interest I can gather from it, no relation to the other two whatsoever."
The Guardsman picks up the hastily-scrawled letter.
"Written by the High Inquisitor, just three words. The first, see it? \nderc. A diagonal line, nder, and a c. But here's the thing. The c isn't in line. It's above the rest of the letters.
"Meaning?"
"Meaning if we add a second diagonal line and add a backwards C to the end, underneath the other C, we get a name. Anders. Coincidence? Can't be. The Datapad belongs to an Acolyte named Anders. We don't know if he's alive or dead, and the corpses are too charred to know. If we find somebody good with technology, a Tech Priest maybe, then we might be in luck."
"Where do we find a tech priest?"
"Not here, that's for sure. Vokk's a Forge World, so that's our best bet. Unless you want to scour the Underhive, but that'll take forever."
"Fine."
"So, then. Who's going with you?"

Pick a lackey.

Take Benedict with you.
Take Tarrius with you.
Take both lackeys with you.

"Both of you, with me. Make a copy of our plans and destroy this one. We're going to pay the Adeptus Mechanicus a little visit, if the fething Orks don't shoot us down first."

[Groddil]

"Both of you, with me. Make a copy of our plans and destroy this one. We're going to pay the Adeptus Mechanicus a little visit, if the fething Orks don't shoot us down first."
Tarrius begins scribbling the plans down, but Benedict just looks confused.
"Err, boss? How exactly are we getting there? We don't have a ship."
"We fucking look for one, you fool! Tarrius, hurry up. Where am I going to find a ship?"
"If there is one, it'll be at the spaceport. Maybe you could ask the Chief Arbiter?"

Establish a vox link to the Chief Arbiter, tell him that I will be commandeering a ship by the authority of the Imperial Inquisition. If he asks why I sound like a woman, tell him I am Inquisitorial Adept Sara Tarken who has been sent discreetly to aid Adept Astilan.
