NPCThe formidable-looking man offers you a salute. His armour is immaculately polished, and a hulking cyber-mastiff sits at his feet. The Arbitrator's face reveals nothing but imperturbable equanimity, and his gaze is cold and weighty as befits an enforcer of the law. "Proctor-Exactant Solomorne Anthar. I greet you on behalf of the Adeptus Arbites."
NPC"Thank you for responding to my request, Rogue Trader. I am here on the orders of Marshal Strachs to ask for your help. We are in pursuit of a tithe thief. We must board the thief's ship, execute the heretic for his crimes, and return the sacred tribute to the protection of the Adeptus Arbites. The reward for your assistance in this matter will be the thief's frigate, the Heartless, which we will capture in the course of the mission."
YOU"It is a pleasure to see you, Solomorne. And you, Glaito."
NPCWithout so much as a flicker in his expression, Solomorne commands, "Glaito, speak! Not every cyber-mastiff receives a personal greeting from a Rogue Trader — such an honour warrants a response."
YOU"What was the nature of the arrangement between the Arbites and Theodora?"
NPC"Your predecessor made a formal alliance with us. She provided us with a headquarters on Dargonus and supported us in the collection and guarding of the Imperial Tithe on several occasions. We, in turn, assisted Lady Theodora in enforcing the law on the worlds under her control."

YOU"Was this tithe stolen from my domain?"
NPC"From Rykad Minoris. The tithe ship departed shortly before the world fell and has not been in contact since. Our investigation revealed that the ship was plundered and destroyed. I already know the name and approximate location of the culprit."

YOU"Why have you approached me and not Winterscale? Rykad Minoris was his world."
NPC"I did and I was rebuffed. As Rogue Trader Winterscale rightly pointed out, from the moment of the tithe's collection, responsibility for it transfers to the Adeptus Arbites. He also noted that the loss of a world is not an inconsiderable detriment to his protectorate, and he has no intention of expending resources to recover something that no longer belongs to him."
NPC"Under similar circumstances in the past, our arrangement would have obliged us to turn to Lady Theodora. She was a key figure in supporting the Lex Imperialis in the Koronus Expanse."

NPC"The ship was not lost — it was stolen. If breaking the law were an impossibility, there would be no Adeptus Arbites. In the Calixis Sector, our forces would have caught up with that heretic by now and brought him to justice, but the Arbitrators here do not have such resources."
NPC"However, we can still requisition vessels. But there is no ship on Footfall with augurs powerful enough to track down the heretic. Your flagship, on the other hand, boasts advanced technology and impressive firepower. I assure you, if there were a suitable vessel at the docks, I would not be troubling you with this matter."

NPC"Resources that every world is under obligation to relinquish for the good of the Imperium. In the case of Rykad Minoris, they include the ceramite and explosive reagents produced on Rykadi Philia, armaglass, medical supplies, and Guardsmen — a living tithe to be recruited into the regiments of the Astra Militarum. Cargo like that is particularly dangerous in the hands of heretics as it can be easily converted into wealth or used for military purposes."

YOU"I will help the Adeptus Arbites. What is the plan?"
NPC"I suggest we move to a more private location where we can provide you with the case files."
NPC"Captain Sargona and his flagship, the Heartless, are concealed in the Mundus Nullius. The exact location can only be determined with your ship's augurs when we enter the system."
NPC"The Heartless is escorted by a small flotilla — you'll need to neutralise it in order to capture the frigate. Arbites strike teams will land on the upper deck while your boarding party handles the remaining bays. My squad of Arbitrators will take on the most difficult and dangerous part of the operation. The ultimate goal is to capture the captain's bridge, and interrogate and execute Sargona."
YOU"Tell me more about the ship you are promising me."
NPC"The Heartless is the enemy flagship. It has been corrupted with inhuman technology, but you have the necessary resources to purge it of xenos filth and make it serve the Imperium once more. Even if you don't wish to own a ship previously crewed by pirates, you will have prospective buyers lining up to take it off your hands."
NPC"I'm no expert on ships, but when I questioned the captains on Footfall about the Heartless, they were almost salivating as they listed its virtues."
YOU"I don't want the ship — I want a cut of the tithe."
NPC"Out of the question. The tithe is inviolable and belongs to the Imperium. No faithful servant of the Emperor would dare take any part of the sacred tribute."
YOU"I don't want the ship — I want a cut of the tithe."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Hmm. So, you're offering me a ship that I have to capture myself? Hardly a profitable bargain, is it?"
NPC"What I am offering is the coordinates of your future trophy and a team of Arbitrators to help you take the vessel. You will be enriched and you will be continuing the alliance formed by Lady Theodora with the Adeptus Arbites. It is for you to judge the value of this opportunity."

NPC"I do not have the power to choose my assignments, Rogue Trader. However, if the mission is successful, the Marshal is unlikely to refuse to deploy me as your escort."

YOU"I need more information about the thief."
NPC"Stein — transfer the latest data. Bryce — hologram." Solomorne gives you a data-slate. "This one has the complete file."
YOU"Give me the rundown on Sargona."
NPC"He is a former privateer and a fugitive psyker. At one time he was involved in the Cold Trade and the supply of xenos mercenaries, but his pirate habits got the better of him and he started robbing his associates. Now even among the criminal rabble he is known as a nasty piece of work — something of an achievement, you will agree. Sargona is cunning, cruel, and unpredictable."
YOU"Give me the rundown on Sargona."continues where this line first appears above
YOU[Study the file]
NPCSentenced: Guido Sargona. Homeworld: unknown Psyker. Speciality: pyromancy. Formerly sanctioned. Abandoned his post on a privateer ship and joined the pirates. Confirmed links: Kasballica, xenos, alleg. heretical cults. Also implicated in at least 15 attacks on trading vessels. Status: Alive.

YOU"Any tactical recommendations for the assault?"
NPC"The task is relatively simple: kill all enemies we encounter and not let them kill us. Sargona must be taken alive for questioning, but I and my team will handle that. There is one other thing."
NPC"The following call signs will be used for vox-communication during the mission: you will be RT-1, and I will be DX-1. I also request you use Arbites sign language throughout. Non-verbal commands are faster than speaking and will allow us to catch our target unawares. Here is a short list." Solomorne holds out a data-slate to you.
YOU[Return the data-slate] "I remember all the commands perfectly well."
NPC"Indeed. One never truly leaves the Arbites." Solomorne gives you a deferential nod. "I meant no disrespect to your skills, but I prefer to err on the side of caution."
