This week was a short game as most of the time was taken up with shopping and research early in the session.
The episode opens with the Dutiful Vengeance coming out of the Warp near the Forge World Belacane. They they were able to witness the Fleet of Thule returned from one of it's ten year journeys to the farthest reaches of the Segmentum Pacificus. Everything from massive battleships down to troop carriers was parked all around the system. Slowly the ships were rotating in, to dock with that space station over the Forge World.
Once docked the acolytes went about shopping while the Tech Priest went to do research and catch up with an old colleague from his home Forge World of Turanshush. After so small talk his friend Zarkov presented him with a damaged servo arm from a deceased apprentice. Meanwhile the rest of the party ofter their ship for cargo transporting. Taking the new prize and meeting up with the rest of the party they were soon contacted to bring 40 tons of supplies to an outpost on the frontier world of Calistra.
The trip there was mostly uneventful till the Tech Priest set off a ammunition project in his workshop. Soon after the muffled WOMP! he emerged blacked from the waster up.
After landing on the devastated world of Calistra they loading up the vehicles lent with the cargo and slowly progressed into the ruined city. Within two blocks of the encampment a small gang of the Techno Barbarians charged out to attack. While battling out with them four strangely armored soldiers appeared out of bright blue flashes of light. The party, keeping an eye on the new arrivals, continued to battle the savages. Quickly the new warriors moved in and assisted the heroes in dispatching the villains. With all the blood spilled in combat soon giant sewer rats were draw to the offering of fresh meat. Finishing with the Techno Barbarians they moved on to dispatch the rodents.
Soon the battle was over. The new arrivals passed by the heroes and saluted offers a few words in a strangely foreign language. Quickly the strange left and the heros finished delivering their cargo to the Tech Priest camp.
Upon returning to their ship they spotted a strange ship lifting off and heading to orbit. Quickly the took off after it in pursuit. Quickly they caught up with the ship as it headed towards a space hulk slowly emerging from the warp. Before the Merc could tell the pilot to hold back, the Tech Priest order him to follow them in. From a crevasse in the mish-mash of asteroids, ships and space junk emerged a long column with a massive sphere on top. Sparking fingers of lightening arced out from the tower and surrounded the ship in a tractor beam.
Or scene closes as the acolyte ship is drawn into one of the gaping bays of the massive Space Hulk.
What will the heroes find on board? How do they defeat the tractor beam? Where is the Space Hulk going? Those any many more questions will be answered next time!
