Arrested"Urgent report, Lord Captain! The barges carrying the tithe have been seized and are heading off in an unknown direction. Multiple sources are voxing the flagship at once. I detect the signatures of several noble houses and the Administratum."
YOU"Who dared seize the sacred tithe?"
Arrested"We are getting reports... of it being an order of the Adeptus Administratum. We have received several official forms to the effect that Dargonus's orbit is currently deemed unsafe for tithe storage due to an unspecified threat that has sprung up on the world in your absence."

YOU"What do the noble houses want?"
ArrestedThe vox is silent for several minutes. "The messages have no discernible structure or cause. Professions of loyalty. Audience requests. Even pleas for leniency... One thing is clear, Lord Captain: something has agitated the upper echelons of the nobility. In other words... they are scared."

YOU"What does the Administratum message say?"
Arrested"You are requested to come to the Palace of Justice in person. The prefect speaks of a terrible heresy that is threatening the von Valancius protectorate. While you were away, steps were taken to prevent the spread of the corruption; however, your presence is required to make the final decision. Prefect Vultur will meet you in person for a confidential conversation."

YOU"What do you say, Solomorne?"
Arrested"It seems the law faltered on Dargonus as soon as its master/mistress left it unattended. The disjointed reports from the ground sound strange, if not outright suspicious... but only you can put an end to any heresy on your own planet."
YOU"You are right. Vigdis, prepare a shuttle for me and my retinue."
Arrested"As you will, Lord Captain."
