The GM comes to clear some things up, because we are a little bit messed up here, from what I see.
First things first.
I asked you to write posts not describing any actions in THIS thread. So...
Darn, you awarded Klear 50 exp for something I thought about as well :/
And hey, why not? Computers exist around(and you cannot deny that - I know a bit more than nothing about WH40K world), so I thought that there muse be... well, not Internet but rather some kind of database network around to hack in and search there. I can of course bet that Inquisitors try to get rid of any information about them in theese kinds of databases, but hey, still worth a try.
Some tech that provides means of quick signal travel also exists most probably - if not, how'd you think a single commander would be able to somewhat quickly operate a large army of Space Marines on the battlefield? Radio? Most probably. But hey, it's possible to build a kind of internet using radio(lol).
And the fact that we are on a spaceship doesn't mean anything. Relays can exist here as well. Spaceships ARE able to communicate with each other in midflight. Somehow.
But honestly, that doesn't matter much, since I've failed my Int roll and turned to be not smart enough to be able to use Google.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what the hell is THIS?!
Second one coming up.
I think we are a little bit unclear on the game's universe. Let me explain.
The 41st millenium is when man is surrounded by technology - but this makes him feel lost and supressed. The Imperium is vast and overcrowded. No wonder that we took a great fall if it comes to education and common knowledge. We even got people to believe that machines have souls within them! The majority of Imperial citizens is illiterate. Simple farmers only know how to operate tractors - wrong! How to appease the iron bull's spirit and convince him to harvest! - but nothing more. There is no Internet, there is no global network - hell, people are so poor that only those at higher places can afford "thinking machines", and even those have no idea how things work!
There is no Pentagon. There is no Facebook - what do you expect, maybe the Old Man, The Emperor himself has his own Facebook page, with status reports like "still sittin' on tha damn golden throne" over and over?
To keep things short and simple - imagine Imperium of Man as a vast land of advanced technology and pure Dark Ages mindset. People are close-minded and afraid of anything that is new to them. Since most of them don't even leave their homeland till the day they die, everything is new to them.
Then there's a note to HexaDoken - your character is a feral worlder. What does that mean? Well, pretty much that you were born in some backwater jungle among tribal people, you might believe in ancestors, maybe wear bones of fallen enemies or believe that orange is the color of danger and disaster, or even bow only to the rule of the strongest. You are as prejudiced as man can be. They took you from your bushes and put you right in the world of metal birds and magic sticks spitting flame. You are tensed, afraid and unsure. Forget your internet-surfing thing, this just doesn't fit the mood. Thank you.
You might have that PDA of yours, of course - but it is nothing more than a strange decoration for you. I suppose it doesn't even work.
Third one - I have no feedback from Tavana for now, but my girlfriend is currently pondering on joining our crew. The thing is, she is kinda sceptic and unsure if her language skills are well enough.
That's all for now.
Ah, BTW. We had some mechanical issues there. Yeah, if you want to tinker with some shiny tech-gizmos, you need Tech-Use (Int), which is an Advanced Skill. This means you can't roll checks if you don't have it (Hive World people have it better because they count Tech-Use as basic, so they can roll it even being unskilled, with half their Int, rounded down.
