Okay, but why did you leave it in a vault?

So we're in a stairwell, and we're facing some nasty options.

I wish Reese were here.

I also wish So'Zen were completely here!

 
We sent Dr. Zack and Bishop up to the surface, to occupy a vehicle and get out of here. He has both palatreums. We need those artifacts moved away from the villains whether that is Almon d'Joy or Sargon Whatever.

We need to go down to the vault level, where we heard d'Joy shouting complaints to unknown trooper types. We need to extract the "Mind's Eye" from any chance of d'Joy's custody because it is a Force vergence. We need Sargon Take Me Away to not have a Force vergence either.

Nor are we inclined to put up with him demanding General Vance Kerplocken.

 
Aerena clearly has advanced experience at doing the "forward scout" thing for a raiding team. I appreciate her spot report of the crossfire in the tunnel ahead.

We need a great distraction to get past them.

Spook has an old holoprojection commercial in stock.

Spook might be able to offload it into the Techauger temple's ambient systems?

 

 
That was great!

 
Now to do the Chaplain Sweetness-and-Compassion routine on Almon d'Joy and his two Raven Guard escorters.

 
(Man, I sure hope Ghostie al Saba is doing okay upstairs. It's awful noisy up there.

 

 

Vanya to Almon d'Joy: "You have asked me to rescue you over and over. I'm here."


GM to Vanya: "Do you want to roll your Con?"


Vanya to GM: "Nah! I'm just annoying him."



— Vanya uses the sweetness-and-kindness voice to tell the twisted Mentat and his bodyguards that he has been trying to betray Sargon for months

 

 
Ohhh kay.

 
Here I am, inside the Choni Techauger Vault.

Standing between a tweeked-out Almon d'Joy and a deep pit, at the bottom of which (I think?) might be a Force vergence.

Drawing on everything any Mentat ever told me about the soul of the Mentat order.

Trying to boost Almon away from a nonconsensual psychic tie to the Tenocron Codex ... which is outside the vault, with the rest of my team.

 
Why oh why isn't it So'Zen doing this? He's gifted at diplomacy!

If I can talk Almon into letting the fear pass through him and away, letting the Dark Side's controlling tendrils follow after it, so that the Tenocron Codex cannot grasp onto his mind, then it should weaken the current instance of the Codex enough for the rest of the team to defeat it.

Dear Reese,

You were right. Your bestest frenemy has been shouting for a rescue for months now. He's terrified of the people he works for. He sees no way out. He wants someone to come protect him and wrap him in a blankie and say "there there".

Also he has got the entire kriffing Tenocron Codex.

If you have this email, it means someone on our team managed to disrupt the Almon-designed machine that is taking out planetary Holonet connections.

It might also mean that Almon d'Joy died in the process of taking us all out, plus something called a "Raven Guard" on a "crusade".

Do your thing, man!

VNY


 

 

Trust in The Force

Davish will find me.

So'Zen and Aerena will figure out how to get to me.

Danar will find the resources for it.
