Argenta"Your Lordship/Ladyship, news from Zarkov. A passing Chartist ship has brought word that the planet has been attacked by unknown enemies of Humanity, and its inhabitants are requesting assistance from the Rogue Trader!"
YOU"I require more information. Tell me exactly what the message said."
Argenta"Of course, Lord Captain. It appears that Zarkov is not reporting a full-scale invasion, more like strikes by individual squads. And there are no reports of a void blockade. The Chartist also relayed odd reports of enemies of Humanity forged of metal and clad in rotting flesh... but I am not sure that that part of the message can be trusted at all."

Argenta"Soulless killers who forsook their very essence in the name of a great vengeance. My kin battled them among the stars while your ancestors yet lacked consciousness. A handful of mon-keigh cannot overcome them. If aid does not reach that world, it is doomed."

Argenta"Lord Captain, if I have your leave to speak — Zarkov has forged hardened, skilled fighters who are used to relying only on themselves. If they are asking for help, it means the situation is out of control."
