I certainly want to interrogate Ingron, though the valkyrie might be a good place for that. (What's the bonus to Interrogate tests from dangling a man out of an aircraft? And, more importantly, which one of us gets to kick him out when he's no longer useful? I vote Marcus or Kerberos.)
That was priceless.
Do not worry though, I have an exruciator waiting to be used to extract valuable information from any unwilling subject.

I've seen The Dark Knight Rises. That never ends well.

So. What next?
I think it depends a little on what time of day it is, IC. We probably want to start going about securing the long-term resources we need before sunset. A place to stay, a mode of transport, etc. If you think Noctis is our ticket to some free accommodation, then that sounds like a great starting-point. Otherwise, I'm still quite in favour of scouting out some abandoned industrial location if we can.
In the immediate future, we need to make sure the three beasts are securely removed from the premises and put in safe hands (or failing that, incinerate them). Same goes for our prisoners/witnesses. We don't want some rapid response from the bad guys stealing them away, or assassinating them before they can talk. In Ingron's case, we also need someone to stitch him back together before we start beating him up again.
Quote:
Next quest: Scoritza. [...] Perhaps chatting to him at/abducting him from the auction.
Sounds fun. Probably not a job for the whole team, though... some of us would look right out of place.
Hmm... checking over our character sheets, seems no-one has Medicae. That seems like something we should have, and Shryke is an Intelligence monkey - if I purchase it now, can he use it on Ingron?
EDIT: Also, to make sure I'm getting the right picture of what does what before I go buying new Trade skills or what have you - right now, I have Tech-Use and Trade(Technomat). Do I need any other crafting skills in order to make Skullsy the Flying Skull, or am I good?
I am stupid. After asking for Charm and Decieve it appears i never actually paid the XP for them.
As i've been enthusiastically Charming for half the game, I'm going to swap Tech-Use for Charm, and pretend i had that all along, and spend my extra XP on Deceive. (IIRC, i failed my only Deceive roll.) Is that fair enough?
<In baseball game vendor voice> Gas mask! Get your gas mask here!
Go for it, LCP. The suspensors would seem to me to be one of the trickier aspects of that job. If you would like to PM me your take on the methods/tests to create Skullsy, I'll look em over and we can go from there (once some materials and suitable tools are located etc).
@ Swordfish, that's fine by me. I've made a similar mistake myself, once upon a time.
If anybody is interested, The Fighting Fifth, a game of Only War, is looking for a few more reliable players. I'm sergeant: So far we've only taken, like, four casualties.
Regarding Medicae: If possible, definitely. Possibly even Aria should take Medicae as well.
But Ingron has (had?) an office. I know my first go of maps were a 'miss' so I wanted to toss that out there in case it was not discernible.
The arbites look to be planning to use the Cargo-Sentinel to lift the cage and it's contents out. Haul it up the ramp to the waiting half-track, and load it into there for transportation to wherever the cell wishes.
We should definitely search Ingron's office, which is probably what Marcus will do next (thanks Riddick for pointing this out, I didn't notice it on the map). Then we could get back to Tricorn indeed, since we have to deliver the beasts and perhaps begin Ingron's recuperation and interrogation.
Of course we also have the auction, in which you masterfully () gained access to, Gideon and Aria, but only 3 of us can go. One way to do this would be to split and 3 of us attend the auction while the other two go to Tricorn or even go to Tricorn then to the auction all together, so that 3 can go in and the rest wait outside in case things turn out bad.
By the way, and since I mentioned the auction I cannot shake the memories of the auction scene from the Eisenhorn trilogy as well as your own, masterfully narrated and played out LCP in your latest game.

I'm glad i'm not the only one reading LCP's games over his shoulder. (Or sitting on a character concept, waiting for a slot to open? That one is just me? Damn.)
My suggestion would be to finish the Tricorn or interrogation stuff quickly and then go into the auction together. Even if we can only get three of us in, having a few on the outside would be handy.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but i suspect the auction may be a place for an abduction. And even if two of us do need to wait in the car, that could come in handy.
I lol'ed. You've got some time on the auction should other matters want to be addressed.
Also, sorry for using the auction hook. I used to read LCP's stuff avidly but have fallen behind with the second job. I never intended to overuse a particular scene. I shall endeavor to make this unique!
I cannot shake the memories of [LCP's] latest game.
Riddick seems like a nice GM, I don't think he'd just up and drop a Lictor on us like some gits might.

I think we have a fairly stable bunch at the moment, I'm afraid . But, we're coming towards the close of the penultimate episode; after this campaign is wrapped there are some vague continuation plans for a new (connected) one, so who knows.

I don't see there's anything to apologise for! This has been a great game so far, I am looking forward to this auction with anticipation. I also anticipate that a high-class auction in Hive Sibellus is going to be a very different affair from a Beast House auction on a crumbling, crime-infested space station.
I can't really emphasise the first point enough - I almost never get to play as a PC and I am having a blast. Thank you, Riddick
Regarding actual game stuff
We have a couple of days before the auction, right? No need to split forces because we're going to the Tricorn, we have a plane. We can be there and back in a couple of hours if we want.
I personally think that once we've wrapped up our investigations here (including interrogating Ingron and any follow-up work with the creatures at the Tricorn), we should use whatever intervening time is left to start establishing our long-term resources in the Southlows. The idea of a backup team waiting outside the auction is a good idea, but it'd be even better if we had a getaway vehicle by then.
And although I would personally enjoy the chance to RP Shryke at some fancy nobleman's auction (++HELLO. I HAVE MANY FORMS OF SMALL-TALK. PLEASE SELECT ONE FROM THE FOLLOWING MENU++), I suspect he might be rather conspicuous standing there trying to sip champagne through his rebreather. He should probably be a member of Team Backup.
EDIT: I just read the IC thread. Now I can't help but imagine Gideon with Sean Connery's voice.
We have to ship the beasts over to the Tricorn, so we may as well take Ingron as well. We'll just have to be as discreet as we can... we don't want everyone recognising us as "those Inquisition goons who busted the circus".
Also...

"This job... was all I had." His voice trailed off along with his gaze. "How am I gonna to eat?"
I do! apologies, been slightly busy, coupled with irl stuff, and a lack of things to do besides *follows giddy*, was kinda hoping things would progress so i could glaze over the following and respond to new stuff. But we are just kinda wandering around for now.
To be fair, there's been several clues unaddressed from the cathedral and no theorizing by the cell on what's transpired. Some of those clues, Aria alone knew
also, i cannot take medicae D: the Adept career forks, you can take techy stuff, or medicy stuff. techy also had the Blather advances
Well, without elites, but trying to climb medicae through elites alone shocks my inner sense of efficiency . This said.... we have a lack of a medic, if i can be allowed to exchange some of my advances, and switch to the Chirurgeon tree, i can get medicae/+10/talented/master in one sweep.
*edit
Really? Oh bugger *goes back to try and figure out what i know that no one else does*
