AstropathA slender young man, his eyes hidden behind sacred manuscripts, adjusts the augmetic on his temple. He notices you and starts. "L-Lord Captain! How can I be of service?"
YOU"Who are you?"
Astropath"Monalic Qadd, acting Choirmaster of the Astropathic Choir, elected following Master Weisz's death until such time as a new Choirmaster is assigned to the flagship by decree of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica."
YOU"Who are you?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Is the Choir managing to fulfil its duties without Weisz?"
Astropath"Despite all the difficulties — yes, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Master Weisz was the strongest voice in the Choir, and it is not easy for us without him. Sending and deciphering messages is harder now, but every Astropath is doing their utmost not to let the dynasty down."

YOU"Have you made a confession lately?"
Astropath"To tell the truth, I have simply been too short on time lately. Running the Choir consumes all of my attention."
YOU"The orphans on the ship have already been provided with the bare essentials, have they not?"
Astropath"I fear I am not in any way familiar with the ship's supply procedures or the lives of its children, so I cannot give you an answer, Lord Captain."

YOU"Why are some destined to perish in the warp while others must go on living?"
Astropath"Your words... They so remind me of what the late Master Weisz used to say. For reasons I will never know, this thought always troubled him." The Choirmaster's brow furrows. "After some reflection of my own, I concluded that tormenting myself with such questions would only make said death in the warp arrive that much sooner."

YOU"Can you put me in a trance with Kibellah? I need to get inside her mind."
Astropath"A synchronised trance is a complex telepathic practice. Things can go awry unless both participants trust each other and have a... strong spiritual connection. However, I can sense that you do. I would be honoured to be your guide during the ritual, Lord Captain. But remember: it is easy to get lost in another person's thoughts. And the fears of others... house monsters."
YOU"I am prepared for the risk. Put us in a trance."

Zacchary Weisz"Your Lord/Ladyship. Did you... ask for help? My apologies. I have only a vague recollection of what I was doing and whom I was talking to when Adeline appeared." Weisz's face is sunken, but the undying spark behind the time-worn scrolls is still there.
YOU"How are your ghosts, Weisz?"
Zacchary WeiszThe Choirmaster looks away, embarrassed. "The mistakes of the past no longer haunt me, not in my dreams or in reality. But I still remember. I remember every single one of them."

Zacchary WeiszAs you approach, the Choirmaster's blindfold lights up with a bluish glow. "Your Lord/Ladyship seldom comes here without a reason. How can I be of service to you today?"
