Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

This is a race that is completely devoted to chaos, with a deep-rooted warp background, and worships chaos itself rather than a chaotic god.Their technology has a strong subspace color, and they are completely embraced by the subspace. Their shells can even travel through the subspace until they reach their target before appearing in the physical universe.

The god machines of the Titan Legion of the Empire must hold the mentality of dying together in order to fight against the subspace structure of Yuvas

Although this alien race was eventually exterminated by the Empire, their shadows have been lingering between the starry skies of the Calixis sector and the Kronos expansion, and countless ruins and wandering hulks have been lost in this area. hide.

The imperial authorities hid the relevant information of this alien from ordinary people, and their only remaining value was as the background or embellishment in the story of the Angwen expedition; strong proof.

But any in-depth study of this race's technology will be met with the wrath and endless attacks of the Inquisition and the Mechanicum.

And their creations are also popular commodities in the underground cold trade in the Calixis star area, with prices but no market. In order to prove that their power can override the laws of the empire, those crazy nobles will never tire of collecting these items .

Chaos worshipers and wizards also have a soft spot for the creations of this alien race.

With the end of the mural content, Siegel also stopped his footsteps.At this time, they had gone deep into the building a lot.

"Siegel?" Remulle looked at Siegel who had stopped, "Should we go in and take a look?"

"Of course." Siegel replied without hesitation.

Continuing to walk towards the depths of the building, the strange thing is that the inside of the building was severely damaged, a large number of crystal creations were destroyed, and the debris was scattered all over the place.

But there are still some well-preserved items, they are not rashly trying to recover those items, the battle is still going on outside, they are going to take this opportunity on more important items.

For example, the object protected by a certain position in front of me, a cube made of crystals is placed on a table.Its size is not large, and it can be easily held in the palm of the hand. The surface of the cube is constantly flashing with fluorescent energy charges.

The lightweight stand holds it inside a protective stand that glows yellowish fluorescent.

Siegel's patience paid off. Although he didn't know what it was or what it was for, it was here for Siegel to take it away.

But before that, Siegel still has some work to do.

He and Remulle used plasma pistols and grenades to smash the crystal machines fixed around them. Although the machines were motionless there, Siegel's experience told him that these things would definitely cause trouble in the end.

After asking the reason clearly, Igrein also got involved.

"Is this what Rogue Traders do when they're digging for treasure?" Igrain asked Siegel after destroying a crystal machine.

"It happens sometimes, what's wrong?"

"I just feel...no...it's nothing..." Igrain hesitated to speak.

"There is no technical content? There is no mysterious decryption, no exquisite props, relying on the firepower and armor of the empire to drive through the protection measures of the ruins, and cause a lot of damage while harvesting treasures." Siegel easily arrived at her What are you thinking.

"Expedition methods should be adapted to local conditions. What kind of actions to take during an expedition is also an important part of testing the ability of a rogue trader. Some methods cost money but save trouble, while others are the opposite. But the basic principle is that once conflicts are inevitable, then It must be done."

"This is the situation where conflict is inevitable."

"Then when will exploration be more technical?" Igrein watched as Remulle fired a shot at the edge of his protective position, and the warhead turned into a plume of smoke and dissipated in the air.

"This is often the case. We do have a huge force, but we are still merchants at heart. A stable business route is more meaningful than a successful robbery."

After everything was processed, Siegel stood in front of the half-person-high display stand, looking at the small cube placed in a protective stand.

Siegel took a deep breath, even through the respirator, he could feel the chill of the cold air here.Fortunately, this position is not too big, Siegel thought so.Then he slowly put his left hand deep into the protective stand, and the outer shell of the manipulator soon showed signs of corrosion, exposing the synthetic nerve synapses inside.

His manipulator is not Lars' alloy craft, it's just that the fine gold plating on it is strong enough.

This energy core-like thing has white electric charges on its surface. He believes that this thing has a very high value, but the specific situation has to wait for the team's professional treasure appraiser, Father Mel, to study it.

The effect of removing this core item was immediate, and the entire building became dim. Those crystal walls still had a little fluorescence, but there was no white light that could be illuminated.

This thing is indeed the energy core of this building. Siegel put it into the safe that Remulle took out, and then gave the order without hesitation.

"go!"

-

When they returned from the Egalia building with the help of the dim light and returned to the battlefield, Siegel watched the soldiers cautiously walk towards the paralyzed crystal machinery.

Except for the building behind it, whether it is the maze in the distance or the paralyzed crystal machinery, it seems that the energy source has not been cut off.

Those crystal machines just stopped moving, quietly stopping at their positions, the crystal ball became a ball again, and the crystal spiders also crossed their legs.

At least it looked like that was the end of the fight.

After repeated confirmation of safety, the armed sailors began to take time to rest and perform first aid on the battlefield one second earlier, so that those seriously injured sailors would not be made into machine servants.

The first aid kit carried by the armed sailors of the Foster family is not much different from the standard field medical kit of the Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Guard Manual is still very useful for setting up various equipment for a guard soldier.Rogue Traders don't have the time or thought to study what kind of medical kit is more suitable for the needs of their armed sailors. Most of them steal a standard answer from the guard manual, and then according to whether they regard the armed sailors as human beings, To make appropriate additions and deletions to the content of the list.

Those sailors who were hit by crystal ammunition but were still alive were being treated by their comrades. They used medical forceps to pull out the crystal ammunition that had penetrated the wounded's flesh.

Then use "holy water" to clean the wound to prevent infection, then take out the "skin" spray, spray a ball of foam on the wound, and then just use "gauze" to wrap the wound well, so that the emergency treatment of a wounded on the battlefield is as simple as finished.

"Skin" is a classic dressing in the Imperial Guard, it can stop bleeding and promote tissue regeneration, sounds like Yunnan Baiyao or something similar.

Wounds that hurt arteries still need the help of a tourniquet, and those wounded who have suffered such terrible injuries as severed limbs, of course, can't just deal with a bomb, another variant of skin spray, "casting" spray will come in handy use.

Siegel felt a bit like cement when he heard it for the first time, and the usage is indeed similar to cement, and this dressing is pasted on the huge wound of the severed limb.This plaster-like substance is mixed with blood coagulants and antibiotics, which can effectively fight against blood loss and infection. After it solidifies on the wound, these seriously wounded can be carried away from the battlefield.

Further healing services are handled by more specialized personnel, such as on Siegel's ship, where technical priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus are in charge of healing.

In addition to the more common medical soldiers, medical nuns are also a common medical force on the battlefield of the empire, but it is a pity that such non-combat nuns are not exclusive to the imperial nobles. They often devote themselves to various battlefields of the empire, and there are few rogues. There will be a medical nun on board to provide services.

As for the medical services of the main members of the Foster Dynasty, it was handled by Priest Remulle, but her medical skills could only be said to be barely good, and in many cases it was not as effective as the big E magic she released.

So Mel will also help in this regard.

"How about the casualties?" Siegel led the people back into the defense zone, looked at Laurentina who was inspecting the battlefield, and asked.

"Hydra and Chimera were only scratched slightly, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties. Our preliminary estimate is that about 200 people died and about 200 people were injured. If you count the personnel of Armengard, the number is even higher. Laurentina's thigh was also wrapped in a bandage. "The communicator has already contacted the responding team. They also established a defensive position on the cable car, but it seems that it is no longer needed."

"The casualties of the team of more than 1000 people are almost half that." Siegel roughly knew it in his mind, and there is no doubt that it was a small blow to the soldiers Siegel brought from Sintila.

The fight was muddled, and they didn't feel like they were repelling the alien creation at all.Siegel has already considered the next award ceremony, after all, maintaining the population on board is as important as maintaining morale.

"Prepare a Chimera, we have something to take away." Siegel said to Laurentina: "Call a few people, take a simple trailer, and follow me to the data center below. "

Carew and a group of armed sailors brought a rough patchwork trailer inside the data center.To be honest, without Karoo, Siegel felt that it would take some effort for them to move the several tons of Contempt Dreadnought.

When Karoo and a group of sailors rediscovered the Dreadnought buried in the data center, Mel's data download work also came to an end.

"How's the harvest?" Seeing Mel's expression, Siegel knew that the harvest might not be small.

"I can't wait to slap those old guys in the Rath Treaty in the face." Siegel could hear Mel's resentment towards the Rath Treaty.

The members of the Rath Agreement are all the sages in the Rath Forge World. You can imagine how complicated and bloated it is just by listening to the distribution of members.

Scholars of different factions argued endlessly in it. Mel once told Siegel that attending the meeting of the Lass Accord was like watching a pile of shit piled up in front of her.

"Very good, then we're going to get out of here." Siegel didn't find any clues about Karadeval here, or rather, slipped away at his fingertips.They need to go to another galaxy as soon as possible to find out more about the Faceless Lord.

And as for the specific harvest on this planet, it can only be confirmed on the starship.

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Dauntless and Gifts

subspace.

The fleet is heading towards Jupt along the flow of subspace, and the fleet has been delayed in Wilder for too long, and Siegel does not think that more critical clues can be found in Jupt.

But one thing is worth noting, there are no imperial colonies or other facilities placed in Jupter, the information on that galaxy is too shallow to fill a parchment, and everyone in the fleet has no idea what is there The galaxy of Jupiter awaited them.

There is still some time before arriving in Jupt. Siegel still has more important things to do during this period. Although Siegel would like to discuss with Mel what they have gained on Wilder, but make sure to dig The situation with the Space Marines, especially the Contempt Dreadnought, was more of a concern.

Siegel led Karoo and Skadi in Mel's workshop. The machine servant was cleaning up the Contempt Dreadnought belonging to the Emperor's Children. With the washing of the holy water, the dust covered the Dreadnought And the lumps also began to fall off gradually, revealing Dizi's iconic ornate decoration inside.

The Emperor's Children have the habit of installing various decorations on weapons and armor. Siegel watched Mel holding a small thinker panel, and the servo skull moved up and down to check the specific situation of the Contempt Dreadnought.

Siegel felt a bit like a family member outside the ward, and even he didn't know what he was nervous about.

Seeing Mel put down the thinker panel in his hand, he asked, "How is the condition of this thing?"

"This Dreadnought is in good condition, at least it looks good. Although the soul of the machine has fallen into a deep sleep, the life support system is still operating at a minimum..."

"That is to say..."

"Yes, that's right, it's exactly what you think." Mel explained to Siegel, "I really hope that the Astartes monk is dead, but unfortunately, his vital signs are already very weak, but To live is to live."

Mel's servo skull flew in front of Siegel, and instead of using her original vocal cords, she talked to Siegel through the mechanical generator of the servo skull.

The mechanical voice was cold and relentless.

"Now, Siegel, the life of this Astartes monk is in your hands." The servo skull handed a remote control to Siegel.

"Press the red button, and the maintenance pipeline will be injected with new life-support liquid; press the blue button, and the maintenance pipeline will be injected with strong acid solution. I don't know what you want, but I think it's not necessary to keep him. Not a good choice."

"It's too risky for us to keep him."

Siegel looked at the servo skull in front of him, then turned his head to look at Mel with a serious expression.

"What you said makes sense." Siegel nodded, agreeing with Mel's statement. He didn't think that the Contender Fearless would be a rebel, or that he was either a loyalist who was blown here by a subspace storm, or It was lost before the rebellion.

The reason why the Horus Rebellion caused so much scars to the empire was that, in addition to the mighty power of the four gods, the first-mover advantage of the rebel factions allowed them to gather heavy troops.

In the early days of the rebellion, before the minds of the various rebel primarchs were destroyed by the energy of the warp, they were still able to make correct judgments in their favor.

But that doesn't make it any less heretical to keep an Emperor's Children Dreadnought private.

Siegel nodded while pressing the red button, and the new life-sustaining medicine was injected from the pipe into the life-sustaining system inside the Despiser Dreadnought.

"I hope you really know what you're doing." Looking at the various readings on the pensive's screen that began to slowly rise, the servo skull flew back to the Despier Dreadnought for the next step of inspection.

"I will install a small melta bomb inside him, enough to destroy his coffin. But at that time, this Contempt Dreadnought will also be scrapped." Just like Siegel is going to give some heresy for Mel To pay for the behavior, Mel also has to help Siegel cover up some of his problems.

"I need to conscript a weapon bay, which must be filled with holy oil, and then throw all the power armor and Astartes weapons into it, and wait for a few years." Mel turned his head and glanced at the Dreadnought. , "Just put it here..."

"If you want to wake him up, please wait for me to prepare the relevant backup." Mel went on to say, "I have also finished researching the little object you brought back. There is good news and bad news. You want to Which one should I listen to first?"

"Listen to the bad ones first."

"That thing doesn't have the ability to control those Egalia crystal machines as you imagined. It's not a programmatic component like a control core, but an energy component."

"It should be supplying energy to the Egalia building, but she is not the one who actually controls the crystal machinery. You are equivalent to taking off the energy of the meditator, and the meditator will no longer function."

"Um... it was placed on that high platform and strictly protected." Siegel explained to Mel the reason why he took it down.

"Maybe it is a simple anti-theft method, maybe it is really meaningful to Egalia, but unfortunately, the added value of foreign culture is worthless in our eyes."

"So it's not precious."

"It's certainly precious, and if I hadn't had enough of the subject at hand, I might have looked into its material composition, which could lead to progress in the miniaturization of many energy systems."

"That's the good news?"

"No, give me your left hand." Mel stretched out his mechanical arm, just holding the fingers of Siegel's left hand, and Siegel's mechanical hand was disconnected from the excuse, revealing a complex artificial nerve. Keys and interfaces on the wrist.

A new mechanical hand was re-pressed on Siegel's broken wrist. It was no longer the rough metal color before. In addition to the fine gold plating, there was also a layer of platinum plating on it, making this mechanical hand look Much better looking.

"Did you use it here?" Siegel was a little surprised. He thought that the most he could do was to accept mechanical transformation. Are he going to use alien technology now?

"Of course not." Mel's tone was a little annoyed, and she said very fast: "For the next occasion, I just think it's more appropriate for you to use a new robot hand."

"I've been looking for a suitable energy core for this thing, God of Myriad Mechanisms blesses you, the little thing you found is just right."

A black weapon case was brought out, Mel's

With a light tap of the mechanical hand, the gear on the weapon box turned, and Siegel and the others opened their lids.

A saber lay there.

"This is a saber made of las alloy. I built it by myself. I also redesigned the mode of disassembling the stance. Since this weapon is so good that I made it, it needs a core that is good enough for it. The weapon's disintegrating stand is powered."

"This is a gift from me to you. Although I don't celebrate this kind of holiday, but...Happy Santa Andrews Day."

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Entropic Disintegrator

"This... really surprised me." Siegel looked at the saber, and he reached out to take the saber out of the weapon case.The saber is housed in a sheath made of light synthetic material, black in color, with platinum trim at both ends and in the middle, a fine gold hilt guard and bottom weight with a frost pattern on it, the hilt The exterior is made of haizu leather.

Siegel pulled out a section of the general knife from the scabbard. The slender body had flame patterns on it, and the blade shone with a faint light.Siegel pulled out the knife completely. The blade was about 45 inches. Siegel held the handle tightly and pressed the button. A pure white flash of decomposition appeared on the blade in his hand.

"A more powerful decomposition position, higher energy consumption, and general energy cores cannot support long-term operations."

Every nobleman in the Calixis sector yearns for swords and armor produced by Rath, because it means the best craftsmanship, and more destructive power than the common monomolecular swords of the Empire.

And the products of Russ casting sages are even more sought after.

Rath's casting limit is only single-digit swords and armor each year, and it is rumored that those swords and armor made by master craftsmanship can directly fight against the disintegration stand without losing the wind.

Of course, for the saber that Mel gave him, it would be too puzzling to judge it only from the perspective of the quality of the weapon.
