NPC"Lord Captain, I have an urgent report. Genetor Extremis Eogunn Februs has left the flagship after breaching all disembarkation protocols. Under the circumstances, his actions must be considered highly suspect. The Master-at-Arms has already opened an internal investigation into the matter."
YOU"What are the circumstances? Where exactly has he gone?"
NPC"By breach of protocols, we mean grossly tampering with the onboard cogitator of one of Your Lordship/Ladyship's passenger shuttles for unauthorised personal use. However, the onboard augurs continued to pick up the shuttle's navigation beacon signal for some time. The latest data indicate that it docked with one of the merchant ships bound for Footfall, after which the broadcast ceased."

YOU"And we have no idea why he resorted to such an act?"
NPCThe Vox Master's reply is preceded by a distinct pause. "I'm afraid not, Lord Captain. The enforcers, under the direction of the Master-at-Arms, have interrogated everyone associated with Genetor Februs over the past week. No useful information could be obtained, except for the mention of his highly unstable emotional state. An order was issued to force access to his personal servo-skull for inspection, but it was discovered that the esteemed Genetor had taken the unit with him."

YOU"The search for Eogunn cannot be delayed. Thank you for your vigilance, Vigdis."
NPC"Acknowledged. May the God-Emperor protect you, Lord Captain."

NPC"Given the 'esteemed Genetor's' heretical leanings, I see nothing surprising in such a stunt. My recommendations: conduct a thorough search of the fugitive's laboratory and private quarters, and set a course for Footfall. It is likely the ship can be intercepted if its Navigator takes long routes through the warp."

NPC"I so testify that the unit designated 'Eogunn Februs' has committed a sacrilegious breach of the defensive circuitry safeguarding the shuttle from intrusion. The evidence of his abhorrent deed have not escaped the vessel's machine spirit and are plainly recorded in the shipboard systems' logs. In the name of the Machine God, I hereby impose a techno-penance upon said unit, to be enacted upon his apprehension."
