The players arrived at Primus VII on the 'Blade of Fury' after being delayed by warp storms for three weeks. After helping themselves to the armoury, the intrepid quintet embarked via the medium of a Piranha Boarding Boat to Hive Primus, where they met the Starport Owner. Being a reasonable fellow, he loaned the team a limo and gave them access to the Starport hotels finest suite. Duke promptly wrote on his data slate "Quiet, there could be bugs" which sure enough was captured on the Adeptus Arbites video cameras in the hotel room. As was Thackleberrys response which was to shoot the bed, thus giving a convenient excuse for the party to get new rooms.
Unfortunately, the flaming bed set off the hotel fire alarms and fire retardent foam soon covered the Duke, Armandius and Thackleberry. The retarded team, now with bleached blotches on their clothing and specs of retardant foam swiftly exited via the fire escape whilst the arbites escorted them back to the Starport and proceeded to storm the hotel.
Meanwhile, using the Limo, Shanks went to the library to investigate the Joyous Choir and Mavis went to the gym to work out with her long, lady loving fingers. Shanks pulled up information on the deceased Arch Bishop Desmond and his successor Arch Bishop Gibson along with a brief history of the Joyous Choir; this was then shared with the rest of the team. He also discovered the contact address for the teams meeting with Old Man (Harold) McGinnis.
Whilst the team took the subway to go and meet them, Shanks and Mavis then proceeded to head to the Church and interview Deacon Ozymandius and ask for a letter of reference, which due to the sozzled state of the DM, he handed over without question. This letter was then put in a pocket and instantly forgotten.
The team then hopped in the Limo and headed off to the Starport to get the hell out of dodge. The Starport Owner, fearing that the Inquisition would think he had tried to assassinate them was as accommodating as he could possibly be. The team dialled up a Piranha and they hopped over to Hive Secundus.
Upon arriving, the team split once more, Thackleberry went to go and visit the Joyous Choir via the hideously delayed tube (with long delays due to the food riots), who were deep in service, seeing as it was Wednesday and they only open there doors on Sunday, he had a long cold wait ahead of him.
Soon after Thacks arrival Mavis and Shanks investigated Captain Ed's Vid Store to find Old Man McGinnis waiting for them. With a gun pointed at his head they managed to find out a bare minimum of information before a long las shot blasted apart the old heroes head. Shanks searched the body, finding out the chaps address, whilst Mavis managed to shoot out the tyres of the assassins car before engaging him in hand to hand combat. Hitting him once with the butt of her pistol, the chap managed to disarm her quite effectively, she then returned the favour sending his long las flying. After a brief flurry of blows with both sides taking numerous wounds from nasty strikes, Mavis ended the whole endeavour by managing to draw her sword and stab the fellow to death.
His ID card registered him as being Geoff Schlutz, but other than that carried very little information, he did however possess street clothes, 7 Gold Thrones and a Long Las with 28 rounds remaining in its charge pack. His ability in hand to hand demonstrated a basic level of unarmed combat training and his accuracy with the Long Las was without doubt.
Duke and Armandius proceeded to interview Deacon Red, learning background information about the Choir, the Arch Bishop’s Gibson and Desmond and about the recent disappearances of his parishioners. Eventually, they met up with Thackleberry to investigate the disappearance of Old Man McGinnis, the most recent disappearance. They were driven to the house by a squad of 7 Enforcers, led by an Adeptus Arbite. Old Man McGinnis hadn't been to church in three days, although after bursting into his home (courtesy of Armandius blasting the lock with his shotgun), they discovered he hadn't returned home for three weeks. The house was empty apart from an unopened can of silt ale and a small shrine to the Emperor.
Heading next door, they encountered Ethel, a lovable old lady with grey hair, brown eyes and wearing an adorable little woollen cardigan. She told them that McGinnis had warned her to get out, off world if possible and given her money to help her. She of course assumed he was drunk and put the money in a safe place to return to him when she next saw him. Thackleberry then shot her in the head and ran in, shooting George, her alarmed husband of 60 years right between the eyes. Before the party could take any more action, the Enforcers ran in and took them to the Arbite HQ where they met Judge Fredd. Judge Fredd had by now analysed the video tape evidence of the hotel and combining that with the murder of Ethel and George Blake, informed the Inquisition that he was recalling any support to your team as you are contributing to the insurrection and malcontent on the planet rather than solving it.
Duke then headed back to the 'Blade of Fury' to investigate the pirate raids. Thackleberry and Mavis went to the Underhive, where after consuming human flesh, Thackleberry was content and Mavis immediately ejected it from every available exit. Armandius and Shanks went up to the top spires to interview the siblings of Old Man McGinnis, who have managed to get jobs as respectively, Waste Reclamation, Spire Governor and ummm...
