AbelardA man in Adeptus Arbites armour raises the visor on his helmet and regards you with a harsh look. "Thank you for your cooperation. Proctor Garren. Now, state your name and the purpose of your stay on Rykad Minoris."
YOU"Abelard, what makes this man think he can demand anything of me?"
Abelard"His being a member of the Adeptus Arbites, I presume. One might say such a tone is... an attribute of their occupation, Your Lordship/Ladyship." Abelard furrows his brows. "Proctor, before you stands Rogue Trader [Name] von Valancius, the Emperor's anointed and bearer of the sacred Warrant. As for His Lordship/Her Ladyship's business on this planet, I'm afraid you do not have the authority to demand an answer. I would ask that you treat the Lord Captain with the same respect that you gave Lady Theodora... the late Lady Theodora."
Abelard"So, Theodora von Valancius is dead. I will deliver this tragic news to Marshal Strachs."
YOU"What are you and your people doing here?"
Abelard"Conducting an investigation, Rogue Trader, and removing any obstructions to the law along the way. I cannot share any details — this matter concerns the Adeptus Arbites only."

YOU"Are you not supposed to help the governor regain control over this world? I thought that maintaining order was the foremost duty of any Arbitrator."
Abelard"Not every uprising demands action by the Adeptus Arbites. For now, I am simply assessing the situation, and if our investigation requires that the rebellion be crushed, then we will intervene. Still, the governor had best put a stop to this bedlam. He is not here to just sit and look pretty."

YOU"What do you know about the situation on the planet?"
Abelard"This world is in the throes of rebellion and madness. Whatever the cause may be, we will not risk the success of our mission to address it. But if the governor does not re-establish a semblance of control by the time we are done, we will see to it ourselves."

YOU"I want you and your unit to escort me to the governor."
Abelard"I must refuse. Our mission and the Marshal's orders take priority, even over a request from an individual as empowered as you."
Abelard"We must keep moving. But first, allow me to thank you for your aid in battle." The man offers you a heavy shotgun. "This belonged to one of our veterans. He fell on these streets. May his weapon now serve you."

YOU"You are speaking to a Rogue Trader, and that is all the information you are entitled to at this moment. I will be asking the questions from now on."
Abelard"A Rogue Trader? Incendia Chorda has no heirs, and I know all of Calligos Winterscale's potential successors by name."
