Personally I'm not 100% sure of how to approach this. If its an Inquisition ship, and it does feel like an =I= vessel, then I think they will feel suspicious about some loyalist Space Marines wanting to get to their ship.

Best to go quick while we can still get the jump on them.
Then obviously we should go for the enginarium and make a big boom of it, a worthy sacrifice to the Gods undivided. Maybe tampering with the gellar field would be enough, but I'd like to push the Big Red Button if necessary.

Tampering with the gellar field generators while the ship is not in the Warp won't do anything (because the field is just used while travelling in the Warp to keep all the horrible gribbles/deamons out). Though if you were to disable the field generators and trigger the Warp engines...
Then Fun Ensues? Sounds like a plan.
C. Land next to the damaged macro battery and take to the uncharted depths of the vessel.
From here, we can take stock of the reality of our situation. If it be an inquisition vessel, then we can adequately prepare ourselves. If not, we can still heal up and prepare.
From there we can gather intelligence about the ship, form small chaos cults, and sabotage areas as needed to draw attention away from ourselves. We can corrupt tech priests from the dogma of the Omnissiah and into heresy, thereby taking command of the vessel's machine spirit from a remote location, or injecting it with scrap code.
Even Khorne appreciates good tactics and planning.

well, it's not the type of fun you can easily survive, even if you're a Chaos Space Marine

Changing to C, Major Blackhart convinced me.

I don't think we have the manpower or the time frame for a long con.
The trio is led by a Dark Apostle. We can make the manpower my friend.

Then I amend my vote to A3>C baud
Right now the ship you're about to board is still in real space and you don't have any idea what it's going to do. But you'll be able to stay on board as long as you're not spotted or decide to leave for whatever reason. If C wins, once you're on the ship, instead of going with the usual flowchart CYOA schema, I intend to do something different, going for a more 'turn-based' system, where each turn (which would be one or two day long), you'll be able to send you and your pals on missions in the ship, for various results (if you've followed any of the dynasty/empire building quests on other boards, you might have an idea of how it'd look) the caveat that each turn you might get detected, especially if you do something not discreet; and playing turns like this until you're either detected, you've taken control of the ship or you leave for whatever reason
edit: adding what I intend to do
You're more wannabe Dark Apostle, so broadly the same skillset, but not the actual power level of an actual Dark Apostle; I'm basing the power level of a Dark Apostle on the depictions from the Word Bearers novel series and you're not there yet.
On to the tally:

Major_Blackhart, hello friend, The Brazilian Slaughter
Thanks for all the votes, bros.

If we stay in hiding until the ship enters the warp we could sabotage the Gellar field generator and reaaally get cooking
I'm locking the vote here, with C winning.
No idea for when I'll have time to actually work on the next update though. Maybe next week.

Frax deftly piloted the craft closer to your objective, until the viewport was filled with the damaged battery, the building sized rent in the middle presenting an obvious access. Turning from the pilot's seat and towards the interior of the craft you see that Zephus has dig up from the supply lockers bundles of cloth of neutral colours which seem to slowly shift to mimic their surroundings
"Camo cloaks. Used by loyalist scouts, will be useful when we'll try to sneak around on the ship."
"Good find, Zephus." You say as you take one, seeing how it's been torn on the side by some jagged weapon and blood-splattered. "On that matter, as I don’t think a direct approach is feasible, we’ll have to start by infiltrating the ship. And there the cloaks will be useful, in addition to leaving our power armour behind, makes it easier to sneak around and harder to detect by on-board auspex."
But as you are about to continue to discuss your infiltration plans, you are interrupted by a protestation from Frax:
"We are Space Marines, of the Word Bearer, scions of Lorgar! We shouldn't have to hide our colours and skulk around like frightened children. The honour of the Legion…”
Zephus cuts him before he can continue “There are situation where pragmatism has to win over pride. We don’t have the means for a direct confrontation right now, so more subtle means are in order. And leave honour for foolish imperials.”
"I know it is not how we usually work, but we must not be so blinded by dogmas as to neglect ways to bring glory to the Dark Gods. And do not worry, once we are ready, the lapdogs of the corpse emperor will know our colours! And they will learn to fear them, for the Legion!" you continue, thumping the (undamaged side) of your breastplate.
Then as the exchange dies down, Frax sets the craft down next to a ruined gun mounting, activating the mag clamps built in the landing gear, securely attaching the craft to the much bigger spaceship.
"There's another question. Do we leave the craft clamped to the ship or let it drop in the void?" asks Zephus
"Why would you want to deprive us of our hard-won prize and only way off the ship? " retorts Frax, turning from the pilot's seat.
"Currently only way, but I'd stake the Imperials have other void capable crafts on board, though likely not as advanced as this one. We are working towards a much bigger prize and if the crew finds our current vessel, it'd put our operation in jeopardy, as they'd immediately suspect boarders." you answer, seeing why Zephus is asking.
"Though if the ship translates into the Warp, they won't be able to find it, the skittish Imperials cower in their ships when travelling the domain of our Masters, as they should." adds Frax.
So do you
1a Disable the mag clamps, letting the craft tumble into the void
1b Leave it there, letting you leave the ship as long as you are in real space
AN: Well, it’s been quite some time. I had taken a break from the ‘dex that lasted much longer than planned… Also I wanted today’s update to be just part of a longer one, but before I finish the rest, I want to check there’s still some people following this. Next update should follow shortly.
