ShipThe enforcers return with new information. The ship was transporting convicts to penal worlds, and the man who had contacted the bridge was one of the criminals. The convicts had broken free and massacred the Arbitrator squad guarding them; however, in the heat of battle, several crucial bridge officers and a Tech-Priest contingent were killed as well. The ship has been drifting helplessly ever since, and what little food remains has gone bad. The dying rioters would now agree to anything if it helped them get out of their flying crypt.

ShipThe enforcers look away. It seems everyone can guess what sustenance those desperate people have been living on, but none are ready to talk about it. Whispers of a monstrous heresy begin spreading through the decks.
