Stepping through the Webway

The session began with the acolytes and Romelia in the plasma gun control room, watching as a massive cruiser rose from the palace, raining macro cannon and lance fire(large light based weapon like a scaled up laser) down upon the palace and the Juno’s capital, Vesuna Regis.

Genevieve rushed into action, and spent a few feverish minutes trying to jury rig the plasma gun controls. She managed to reroute some of the controls, and got off a shot at the cruiser, which by that point was moving too quickly to hit.

After that, the group spent 24 hours searching the ruins of the palace. They managed to avoid crumbling architechture, fire and surviving recidivists to find a number of pieces of crucial evidence. (An explanation of motivations for attempting to kill and replace the emperor to save humanity and the galaxy from an extragalactic scourge, mind mold’s critical weakness to alcohol, Connection between warp storms and the precursors to mind mold) While discussing possible methods of leaving the planet and chasing the surviving heretics.

Then, the group got a ride out of the crumbling palace, and rested. Following that, plans discussed while finding clues in the palace were executed.

Romelia had Churchill make use of the Black Orb in order to contact her ally, Farseer Halatha of the Eldar. Using the orb corrupted Churchill in invisible ways, and caused some disturbing side effects, most notably paranoia and a broken foot. (Churchill later had the foot and leg replaced with a common cybernetic replacement. )

It took the Eldar roughly a week to respond, and in the meantime, some members of the group worked to repair a warp capable ship in orbit, with the goal of sending it to a nearby system to get the news out about the fall of Juno.

The Eldar did eventually arrive, leading to a conversation in orbit aboard their vessel, and the decision to take the webway out to the Kuiper belt on the edge of our solar system.

Traveling through the webway to Sol was incredibly fast, nearly instant.

The group then encountered a system patrol vessel, interfaced with the fleet, and warned them of the coming danger before traveling to Mars to seek out a spy amongst the Arch-Magi. They managed to track down a spy code-named Renley, going by the name Terlin, and interrogated him to learn that the heretics plan on bringing a fleet.

The next session will commence as the heretic fleet enters the sol system, and handle that confrontation between Batlefleet Solar and the forces of the rogue inquisitor Faustus Gelam Irdnak (Romelia's Former Inquisitor and mentor).
