NPCThe Master-at-Arms reports a disturbance in the foundry bay. A certain Nemesite, an avenging figure beloved by lower deck rabble, shot the commandant during a routine medical supply delivery and called on the vessel's serfs to fight for a better life. The rabble immediately plundered the medical storehouse and proceeded to smash other supply stations, slaughtering officers as they went.
NPC(sequence)
NPCThe instigator fuelled the mob's anger with outrageous but regrettably popular stories about the Rogue Trader's allegedly reprehensible character. As a result, a certain vile epithet has spread rapidly throughout the voidship: the Dynasty's Pustule.

NPCNemesite has escaped, and the situation on the deck is increasingly spinning out of control. The Master-at-Arms asks permission to employ the harshest possible treatment, not simply to restore order, but to avenge the dead commandant as well as the fallen enforcers.
YOUDiscover the details of the commandant's murder.
NPCNemesite's reason for the attack had to do with the widow of a respected foreman. She had delayed the queue by begging to be given medicine for her afflicted children, which the commandant refused because her request exceeded the expenditure quota. The widow persisted and was given ten lashes on the spot. That was when Nemesite fired the fatal shot that set off a mutiny in the compartment.

NPCThe Master-at-Arms reports that this is the fourth Nemesite to operate on the lower decks over the past few years. The previous three were captured by enforcers, and each openly identified themselves as Nemesite. The public executions evidently have no effect: people continue to rally around their hero as soon as one emerges and always believe in the invulnerability of their champion.

NPCThe Seneschal points out that all Nemesites act in the same fashion: whenever the rabble is feeling oppressed, they step forward, serving as the spark that ignites the fires of sedition. They target the officers most hated by the workers for their strictness and adherence to order, with every murder bringing cheers from the commoners.

NPCThe Vox Master shares the rumours about Nemesite that abound on the lower decks. Some say he arises from the blood of oppressed labourers, some, that he is the vessel's spirit of justice. Others still believe he is an immortal hero. Such veneration makes it very difficult to capture the riffraff's champion.

NPCIn light of the discovery of a Genestealer Cult cell on the ship, Heinrix van Calox recommends paying special attention to the Nemesite story. The Interrogator suspects that an escaped mutant is behind the incitement to revolt — it is too similar to one of the tactics employed by these enemies of Humanity.

YOURequest information about the foundry bay.
NPCIt is a place of unbearable heat and poisoned air, where scrap metal is melted down into plates that are later used to repair and refit the hull. There are no critical facilities here, and the bay is fairly easy to isolate. This opens up opportunities for quelling unrest with no casualties among the enforcers.

YOUComfort the exhausted people by giving them medicine and supplies.
NPCThe unrest has subsided. While the serfs praise the Rogue Trader's generosity, the enforcers gloomily predict that the rabble will simply shed blood even more quickly and willingly the next time they find themselves lacking for something.

YOUSow division among the rabble. Whoever gives up Nemesite will be moved to the middle decks and paid a year's allowance.
NPCMany people betray their relatives and neighbours in hopes for a better life, but there is no true Nemesite among them. The enforcers suppress the divided mob and restore order with ease.

YOURuthlessly crush the unrest by shutting down life support systems.
NPCThe people die gruesomely, suffocating in the pitch black and the icy cold. But the harsh lesson has been learned: the survivors bow their heads and return to work without complaint.

YOUAuthorise the Master-at-Arms to punish the foundry workers as she sees fit.
NPCThe punitive squads act with the utmost brutality, breaking the will of the workers. The disfigured corpses of entire families serve as a long-lasting reminder of the inevitability of punishment.
