The ork mostly. But there's probably a few breathing masks he can jury-rig. Or just hold his breath. Orks are sturdy that way and it isn't very far.
Same with Lucius. And here the masks probably fit better.

@Wraithblade6 That one actually has real-world science backing it up. Ork are, largely, fungus, i.e. plants. Studies into the topic have shown that plants can survive in a vacuum for upwards of thirty minutes without negative consequences. Now, being only mostly fungus, it still likely wouldn't agree with him. However, again going back to the ork thing, he'd shake off what damage was caused pretty quickly.

@Klomster It's less a matter of him not being able to figure it out, so much as he has no reason to. Remember, Urgrugg thinks largely like a human in many ways. Given time and motive, sure, he'd probably be able to figure out which of the available weapons are guns, and would pull their triggers until he found one that did as he needed.

However, keep in mind, he comes from a feral world. His experience with technology has been limited by what the rogue traders who hired him allowed him to see and interact with. Given what they were, most of them wouldn't have access to the kind of weaponry you'd see on a space marine ship. The few that did especially wouldn't be packing around the same model as a founding chapter from before the heresy.

Basically, what it comes down to is, he doesn't know what any of the guns do because he's never seen them before. He knows what a gun is, and has the basic understanding of how to operate it (point, pull trigger, etc.) but that's not the first solution he'd ever turn to. In this case, he's passively assuming that if any of the weapons on the ship Could help them, then one of the four people on the ship with experience with those weapons would have already picked it up and would be using it. That, or there's some reason why they haven't yet.

I'm not saying he wouldn't ever have the idea; I'm saying he'd dismiss it as not being a good one.

@Necroes Yeah, true. He's a snakebite after all.
Or was.... something along those lines.

@Wraithblade6 He's an ork :D
Logic and common sense at times take a backseat with these handsome gentlemen.
If it was a regular human... yeaaah.... no. But marine or ork for the short duration of getting from the lander to an open utility door? Should be fine.

Currently on a road trip to Las Vegas. Probably won't post much of anything till Tuesday at the earliest (probably should have mentioned this earlier)

Although Oskar doesn't --really-- exist yet so it probably won't matter.

So, would anyone whose character knows what a melta gun is care to make use of one?

I can probably still cut a door. Can't do it until tonight though.

Or just open it.
I mean, it's a pre heresy tech marine vs a pre heresy door.

I think a techmarine can handle a door without destroying it.

Okay, so if I have this straight... Both of our tech people are now either inside, or on their way to being inside, of the larger ship. Meanwhile, we're all still back on the anti-psyker ship.

See, the problem I see with this situation is that whatever door the two techies went through isn't just immediately outside our airlock. It's some distance, which the rest of us will have to somehow cover. Urgrugg will be able to magic himself over there, if need be, and everyone in space marine armor should be fine with their mag boots.

How is anyone else going to move around in space? More importantly for me, why is teleporting the group somehow less efficient if Urgrugg is going to use warp power to get himself onto the other ship anyway?

I guess I'm just missing the point here.

Lucius I think is the only one left who would have trouble coming over. I left my post open so that anyone could come along with Xeph if need be. BC, if you want me to say Xeph carried Lucius along, I will write that.

Sophyrus's character is probably going to encounter us inside right? Or was he supposed to be inside the anti-psyker ship with us?

@Wraithblade6 for purposes of the RP I am going to meet you all on the ship. The techies should enter next to a few prison cells holding Oskar and his band of miscreants. This will neccesitate changing his back story some but I just got home after driving for 12-13 hours. So I will worry about that tomorrow.

Basically they are condemned prisoners and you just need to convince them to join your jolly band of pirate psychopaths.

Must be one hell of a commissar, if an entire penal legion looks at a group containing xenos-, psyker-, chaos-, And tech-heresy and goes, 'welp, beats a cell.'

Although, as of yet, we don't have an out-right criminal in our group. With that added, we'll round out the complete heretic pie-chart.

Not a whole penal legion. Just a squad or so. My justification is they are condemned to death anyway but the imperium just haven't gotten around to it. And joining you all is marginally safer than certain execution.

@Wraithblade6 Bruh, Lucius can't breath in space. Survive longer than a normal human, but he'll be dead long before even Xeph is, with his damaged armour, that he for some reason felt would withstand a vacuum... I'm getting off topic; the point is, I feel like it might be my turn to post. Is there anything Lucius and other people can use to burrow through the two ship hulls and not get exposed to vacuum, @Jbcool? Or, like, is there a system on the ship that can handle forced entry into another ship, I guess?

@BCTheEntity I would expect a simple pressure suit would be around the air lock... not power armor or anything but still.

@Sophrus ...sized for humans, or Space Marines? Bearing in mind, of course, that a fully-functional suit of power armour negates the need for a pressure suit.

Also bear in mind that this is a pre-heresy ship, which would be much better outfitted. In addition, a pressure suit, while not strictly necessary for a properly equipped marine crew, would always be helpful for emergency situations and quick repairs to the outside of the ship. It is known that space marines do not, in fact, spend 24/7 in their armor. They take it off regularly for cleaning and maintenance.
As well, the lower-ranking members of a space marine chapter, while not full blown marines, would still not be stock-standard humans. Instead, especially before the heresy, they would be noviates, which are roughly marine-sized anyway. So, in all likelihood, there would be a spare pressure suit or two among the equipment of this pre-heresy space marine vessel.

@Necroes Well, those are fair points... I suppose Lucius could find a pressure suit of that sort near the airlock, then. In which case, I need to think of something to write to reflect that.

Do we want to just skip ahead? Nobody cares how we got onto the next ship.
