<strong>Lupercal IV</strong><br/><br/>Just as the battle limo arrived at the theater, Darius received a call on his micro-bead.  "Sir, this is the adeptus arbites.  We've just fnished going through the wreckage of the Sentinels that attacked your vehicle.  They were crewed by ecclesiastical servitors from the diocose of Archbishop Krozer.  We'd like you to take him into custody for questioning."  Unfortunately, Archbishop Krozer was already out of the limo, and walking through a crowd of remembrancers furiously sketching his picture with their autoquills<br/><br/>(Both Darius and Baromir should make an awareness test)<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Ares System</strong><br/><br/>"I apologize for the deception, Lord Captain.  Keeping you clear of condemnation from the Ordo Xenos is my priorty, as I need to keep your warrant clean."  Lord Tarsus explained, allowing Edogod to take over.  "I can see from your Kroot's reaction that my presence is unexpected.  Let me explain; among my fellows, I have taken a particularly strong strance on the belief that humanity and the Tau can work together for the greater good, and have come to believe that unity in our technological development will be the most effective way of acheiving our mutual greater good."  He said, gesturing to the machine.  "To that end, I have been studying your technology, and how it might be integrated with our own.  This is a mark V rail gun, in use on our state of the art warships.  It is my gift to you, and a promise of many future such gifts in the future.  Here are the technical specifications.  According to my calculations, the weapon could be installed on your flagship, though your field bracing would have to be deactivated when it was fired, or it could be easily intalled on this vessel."  Edogod said, delivering the data slate to Lord Tarsus, who displayed the readouts against the wall.<br/><br/>Tau Rail Gun (Mark V) Power 7, Space 1,  Strength 2, Damage 1d5-1, Crit *, Range 9   (lance weapon)<br/>Extreme Precision: Each railgun hit which penetrates void shields inflicts an automatic critcal hit (roll 1d5 on the critical hits table)<br/>Light Munitions: Rail guns may not be used in orbital bombardment.  Against vessels with an armor greater than 21, divide hits scored by this weapon in half.  (round down)
