SolomorneThe shrivelled, insect-like old woman greets you with a keen look. "Welcome back to the temple of law and order, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I have already been informed that you are here about Thassera." Prefect Vultur nods to herself and snaps her brittle fingers, prompting a servo-skull to flit closer, the creaking of its quill filling the air. "Begin entry 51/4-Alpha. In the matter of the world Thassera and its obligation to pay the Imperial Tithe, this audience with the prefect of the Adeptus Administratum is now in session. Now then, what were your findings, [Name] von Valancius?"
YOU"The audience is with the Master of Seals, not the prefect. It would appear you... misspoke?"
SolomorneThe old woman freezes in place, her eyes suddenly bulging behind her ocular lenses. The only sound amid the heavy silence is an annoying fly circling over your head. "That... is another matter, Your Lordship/Ladyship. In my current capacity, I am not directly involved with registry archives. I urge you to answer the aforementioned question."
YOU"The audience is with the Master of Seals, not the prefect. It would appear you... misspoke?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"My Seneschal will give you an account of it. Reporting to anyone in person would be beneath my station."
Solomorne"I am afraid I cannot accept another person's report." Her shrivelled fingers nimbly extract a piece of parchment from her stack of papers. It is covered in minuscule writing. "According to Koronus Expanse Statute 19/A-11, any decision pertaining to matters of the tithe shall solely be answered for by the person that directly made said decision. A report made by any other person shall be deemed legally null and void." The prefect puts the document back in its place. "As you can see, there is a sacred stipulation that you submit your report in person and that I accept it from no one else."

YOU"A heretic had seized power on Thassera. I had him executed."
Solomorne"I see." The old woman looks at you intently over her ocular lenses. "This is regrettable news. Even if your action was forced by circumstance, the loss of the governor means the loss of the very stability that any servant of the Administratum is immutably obligated to uphold and protect. Well, let us get to the record then..." The prefect turns to the servo-skull.
Solomorne"Rogue Trader [Name] von Valancius effected the execution of the governor of Thassera appointed by the Adeptus Administratum. Preliminary damage assessment and restoration forecast of the world's key structures: Class A, 'severe.' Noted and recorded."

YOU"How dare you reprimand me for a wicked man's death! It would have been the duty of any servant of the Emperor to cleanse the heretic with fire and plasteel — or are you going to brashly and blasphemously claim otherwise?"
SolomorneThe old woman shudders. "No! Of course not! If, as a former servant of the Ecclesiarchy, you saw heresy in the governor... I am only saying that your righteous decision is going to affect the Thassera tithe. That is a fact, and I am merely stating it."

YOU"An exceedingly hazardous warp-active mineral was discovered on Thassera. For the good of the Imperium, I ordered it be destroyed. I am giving you time to evacuate Administratum property, after which, the planet will be condemned to Exterminatus."
SolomorneThe prefect grimaces. "I can quite confidently deem that outcome to be adverse to the interests of the Imperium. Alas, Your Lordship/Ladyship, I am duty-bound to deliver an exact and impartial assessment of the events."
Solomorne"Rogue Trader [Name] von Valancius, upon learning about the existence of deposits of a natural psy-focus located on the world Thassera, destroyed said material in its entirety. Consequently, the Imperium was deprived of a highly prized resource. Noted and recorded."
SolomorneThe prefect chews on her lip in thought. "I will be frank with you, Your Lordship/Ladyship: the conclusions that were drawn regarding the Thassera inspection were far from satisfactory. Minor disturbances such as a mass execution of mutants or the rabble's plot disguised as a celebration are not nearly as dangerous as the — if you will permit my choice of words — coup that resulted from your intervention. I understand that consequences are something that those endowed with power are wont to leave to their servants to deal with... and therefore, something they find acceptable to ignore." Inscribia's ocular lenses flash as she looks up from her scrolls. "However, I hope my words may help you to revise your approach to executing the Imperium's will in the Koronus Expanse in future." With a tap of her nail, she dismisses the servo-skull.
YOU"What fantastic advice you gave me, Solomorne. I should not have listened to you."
SolomorneSolomorne turns to the prefect. "The Rogue Trader's testimony is the truth. It should be noted that I was the one who proposed the complete destruction of the thassertium."
SolomorneGlancing at Solomorne with indifference, the prefect says in a creaking voice, "The Proctor's statement has been added to the record. End entry."
YOU"What fantastic advice you gave me, Solomorne. I should not have listened to you."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"How did you obtain such detailed information about the events on Thassera?"
Solomorne"Duty dictates that Adeptus Administratum officials always be adequately informed — otherwise, our service to the Imperium's order would be of rather questionable use. Unfortunately, it is for this same reason that I cannot disclose my sources to you."
YOU"What fantastic advice you gave me, Solomorne. I should not have listened to you."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"How did you obtain such detailed information about the events on Thassera?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"If you think the Thasserian mineral is so important to the Imperium, make it part of the tithe. What is the problem?"
Solomorne"Of course you have the power to change your decision at the snap of your fingers, but its implementation will fall to thousands upon thousands of Administratum functionaries. They will have to first record the previous status of the tithe, and then begin an equally lengthy process of re-registering the payment. As servants of law and order, we cannot simply skip the cumbersome parts: procedure must be followed meticulously, lest we become mired in anarchy."

YOU"I took care of a problematic world of yours, and you are twisting the facts regarding my efforts!"
SolomorneThe prefect's ocular lenses flash as she replies in an offended tone, "I, His lowly and unworthy servant, have no right to twist any facts. My duty is to assess consequences and do everything I can to make sure the Imperium receives what it is owed. That is the purpose of my existence." Suddenly the old woman's voice becomes less stern and almost didactic. "Speaking from my wealth of experience, if I do say so myself, taking care of the Imperium's prosperity is a heavy burden, albeit an honourable one. The fact that even a Rogue Trader can run into difficulties while doing it only further confirms my many years of observations."

YOU"One way or the other, we can consider the matter of Thassera closed. Am I correct?"
Solomorne"Closed and recorded, yes." The old woman smacks her lips in satisfaction. "However, that was just the first item on the agenda. Now, on to the next matter."
SolomorneThe prefect beckons over another servo-skull, which obediently takes its place at her side. "Begin entry 52/1-Sigma. Competency assessment of Proctor Solomorne Anthar based on his performance during the mission on the world Thassera."
SolomorneYou hear a painful metallic creak as Solomorne's augmented hand clenches into a fist. "Competency... assessment? Very well, Prefect. I am listening."
YOU"What gives you the right to evaluate Solomorne?"
Solomorne"So as to avoid misunderstanding, allow me to clarify that I am not making any judgement, but rather gathering information at Marshal Strachs's request." The prefect turns to Solomorne. "Proctor Anthar, you will be evaluating your own conduct in this instance; for my part, I will merely state a few key points. Let us begin: how would you describe your performance, taking into account the following facts..." Vultur produces a parchment scroll.
Solomorne"You took part in the execution of an Administratum appointee without its appropriate permission. You also allowed yourself to be captured, thus endangering your mission and imperilling the valuable equipment issued to you by the Adeptus Arbites. What is more, you sanctioned a tithe-related decision that carries adverse consequences for the Imperium." The old woman pauses. "That is all. Proceed to your self-evaluation."
SolomorneSolomorne's heavy gaze is fixed upon the prefect as he slowly forces the first word out of his jaws, as if they have turned to stone. "I... took every effort and was acting solely in the name of the Lex Imperialis; however, the outcome of the mission speaks for itself. My verdict is thus that my performance in the Thassera case was inadequate."
Solomorne"Noted and recorded." The prefect's immaculately polished ocular lenses bore into you once more. "Now that the Thassera inspection report has been properly entered into the record, allow me, on behalf of the Adeptus Administratum, to officially extend our gratitude to you for the support you provided to us. May the von Valancius name be forever praised, and may the Emperor protect your dynasty for many generations to come. That said, I must now request your assistance in a different capacity: a number of highly important court cases have accumulated at the Palace of Justice — the kind that require formal resolutions by the Rogue Trader himself/herself."
YOU[Lean toward Solomorne and whisper] "You shouldn't have taken all the blame like that."
SolomorneSolomorne whispers back, "I told her the truth. I was there, and I let it happen." After a pause, he adds, even more quietly, "Besides, I owe you for acting like an oaf at the celebration."
YOU"What got into you back then, by the way? You were so aloof."
Solomorne"The people around us were getting on my nerves. I'm not used to putting my affections on display for all the world to see, especially in front of people I collect tithes from, or might end up bringing to justice. In that moment, being human, and not a living statue, was like going into battle without armour." He takes a deep breath. "Everything inside me twisted into a knot, screaming that I was doing it all wrong."
YOU"What got into you back then, by the way? You were so aloof."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Apology accepted. Let's not dwell on it."
Solomorne"Of course, [Name]." Solomorne smiles with only his eyes.
SolomorneThe prefect clears her throat in baldly obnoxious fashion. "Rogue Trader, are you and the Proctor quite done discussing your undoubtedly pressing concerns? If you are, let us return to the matter of court proceedings."
YOU[Lean toward Solomorne and whisper] "You shouldn't have taken all the blame like that."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"You are biased against Solomorne."
Solomorne"To which part of the assessment would you impute bias? Everything in it is based solely on facts, and Proctor Anthar himself presented the conclusion. Regardless, the final judgement will be passed by Marshal Strachs."
YOU[Lean toward Solomorne and whisper] "You shouldn't have taken all the blame like that."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"You are biased against Solomorne."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Are you not being a little harsh on yourself, Solomorne?"
Solomorne"Exactly as harsh as my duty demands that I be. An Arbitrator has no right to mistakes or weaknesses. Our mission is much too important." The Proctor's voice sounds firm but detached, as if his mind is wandering far away.

YOU"What is this Palace of Justice?"
Solomorne"It is a temple of the law erected by your ancestors. Some cases could only be settled by heads of the dynasty, but since their time was occupied by other important duties, a facility was built for storing especially complex cases. At a certain point, servants of the Administratum were permitted to use the Palace of Justice for hearing disputes; then, in Lady Theodora's time, the Arbites became part of the legal procedure as well."

YOU"That is the Administratum's responsibility — handle it yourselves."
Solomorne"Countless cases do indeed pass through the Administratum, but a very minute number of them are beyond our power to process. As stipulated by our centuries-long covenant with your dynasty, any disputes that are likely to have truly grave consequences regardless of the final decision made are to be reviewed without exception by the Rogue Trader. Only your sacred authority can force the parties to accept the verdict and not rise up in response. We have already delayed the proceedings for as long as we could, but now, we are obligated to pass these cases over to you."
Solomorne"This order of things was established by previous Rogue Traders, not the Administratum. I assure you that your participation in the court of law is not only an homage to an ancient tradition but also an urgent necessity."

YOU"How will the trial proceed?"
Solomorne"The defendants will speak first, whereupon you can ask me clarifying questions on the case, and then—" The old woman gives you a meaningful look over her ocular lenses. "—a death sentence must be passed. You are, of course, free to judge otherwise, but an execution is preferable, since in every case that will come before you, an outcome without highly unpleasant consequences is unlikely. Executions reduce the number of malcontents and motivate prospective defendants to solve their problems before they come under the purview of the Rogue Trader's court."

YOU"One of the Rogue Trader's many duties is to mete out justice. I agree."
Solomorne"There is one other thing, Rogue Trader: by the order of Marshal Strachs, Proctor Anthar has been assigned a short-term mission. He is to take his leave of your retinue at dawn. As this is a matter of extreme urgency, the Adeptus Arbites would appreciate your understanding."
YOU"What mission?"
Solomorne"Proctor Anthar is to lead an Arbitrator squad tasked with neutralising some dangerous criminals who are threatening the Administratum's interests. A rather mundane assignment, as you may have gathered."
YOU"What mission?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"That is unacceptable. Find yourselves another Arbitrator to deal with your problems."
Solomorne"Sadly, that is not an option. The Marshal believes that out of the entire Arbitrator force, only Proctor Anthar possesses the training required to successfully complete this mission. I cannot imagine that the brief absence of one individual — whose services, may I remind you, were temporarily lent to you by the Adeptus Arbites — will be in any way damaging to the dynasty's affairs."
Solomorne"I must follow the Marshal's orders, Rogue Trader. I will return to your ship as soon as my duty to the Adeptus Arbites permits."
Solomorne"I have relegated my current tasks in advance, and thus am ready to escort you to the Palace of Justice immediately. Please, follow me."
