GammaArming themselves with codes of purity and sacred logis-hymns, the guardians of Kiava Gamma charged into battle, vanquishing both the data-angels and the schismaticals alike. While the attack code boiled the Noosphere, the warriors destroyed every afflicted cogitator in their path without mercy.
GammaThe hordes of data-spirits were tech-exorcised and exterminated, and the afflicted mechanisms purged and restored. The Tech-Priests gave praise to the Omnissiah for protecting the production algorithm from severe disruption.
GammaThe data-angels were slaughtered to the last, their remains dissipating into the world's Noosphere without a trace.
end of branch
GammaA fierce fight broke out in the Noosphere of Kiava Gamma. The data-spirits put up a furious resistance but eventually began to lose ground. The workshops and the manufactorums survived at the cost of severe damage. Now that the battle has subsided, Kiava Gamma can start its slow and painful healing process.

Gamma"The request to perform the sacrament is accepted and will be fulfilled immediately."
GammaHaving gained access to the cogitational reserves and after being infused with power, the data-angels charged at the schismaticals.

GammaAfter banishing the schismaticals, the data-angels withdrew into hiding inside the cogitational networks, leaving the servants of the Omnissiah to guess at who or what these beings were.

Gamma"A shame I will not able to witness this... vivisection."
GammaAfter luring one of the data-angels into a specially prepared cogitator, the Lord Captain's servants imprisoned it and gave the signal to destroy the rest of the uninvited guests. The Logis-Mechanics crushed both the data-angels and the schismaticals with comparable ruthlessness.
GammaThe hordes of data-spirits were tech-exorcised and exterminated, and the afflicted mechanisms purged and restored. The Tech-Priests gave praise to the Omnissiah for protecting the production algorithm from severe disruption.
GammaThe captured data-angel was interrogated, dissected into functions, and studied. Seals of creation were discovered inside its logis-chains, which may eventually reveal the mystery of these creatures' origins.

Gamma"Your will be done."
GammaAbandoning their fear, the defenders of Kiava Gamma began to destroy the cogitators afflicted by data-spirits, making no distinction between the data-angels and the schismaticals.

Gamma"Humanity will reclaim control of Kiava Gamma."
GammaEntire continents went dark on Kiava Gamma, forcing the cultists to lay siege to the Motive Force's distribution sancta. It was there that the world's defenders were lying in wait, armed and ready to destroy both schismaticals and "data-angels" alike.

Gamma"Your will be done."
GammaIn a cunning act of betrayal, the heretics who had sworn oaths to the Rogue Trader afflicted his/her enemies with a particularly devastating scrap-code that made even the blessed data-angels and the corrupted schismaticals wither to nothing.

Gamma"Lord Captain, there has been an act of sabotage on Kiava Gamma! The Cult of the Final Dawn has invaded the planet, cultivated a pack of schismaticals in the bowels of the manufactorums, and set them upon us! The attack was so sudden that we almost lost all the workshops, but... we had help. Some entities, already being called 'data-angels,' have invaded the cogitational network, seized the cogitators and servitors, and used them to repel the first onslaught of the schismaticals. Now there is a fierce struggle taking place all over the planet, the Noosphere of the world is boiling."
YOU"How did the cultists infiltrate my world?"
Gamma(sequence)
Gamma"This was a part of a coordinated attack that hit the entire Expanse. The heretics must have been preparing for a long time."
end of branch
Gamma"Thanks to the fact that the planet had been thoroughly purged of the corrupting influence of Cubis Delphim, the cult now has nowhere to hide and no collaborators on the planet. They have utterly failed to compromise our world's defences."
end of branch
Gamma"The cultists have contacted your secret artisans who toil in the forbidden workshops. The fools hope that they will betray Your Lordship/Ladyship and join in the attack. We could use their delusions to our advantage... If our enemy truly is mistaken, that is."
end of branch
YOU"What do we know about these 'data-angels'?"
Gamma(sequence)
Gamma"Not much. They are machine spirits, beings born from the art of datasmithing. They charge into battle chanting the same binharic mantra that the participants of Procedure 0-C chanted."
end of branch
Gamma"They act from within the cogitational nodes linked to the cells used in Procedure 0-C, successfully driving the schismaticals out of neighbouring sectors. If we can get their support, we can definitely pry the manufactorums from the corruption's grasp."
end of branch
Gamma"But there are not many nodes where they can reside — perhaps because we destroyed the cells used in Procedure 0-C. This is quite beneficial to us, should we choose to... refuse the aid of these strange creatures."
end of branch
Gamma"The Logis who have been observing them — the same Tech-Priests who previously investigated the cells used in Procedure 0-C — have deciphered traces of their activity and discovered patterns pointing to the possible creators of these data-angels. If they are right, then they bear the seal of the Explorator Cognisance Fleet."
Gamma"Accessing the Fleet's catalogue. No mentions of operations on Kiava Gamma detected. No information on data-angels detected. Hypothesis: either there has been a calculation error, or the information is locked behind a higher level of sacrament security clearance."
end of branch
YOU"I wish to hear the opinions of my officers and advisors."
Gamma(sequence)
Gamma"The manufactorums of Kiava Gamma are equipped with backup cogitators to ensure the continuity of production in an emergency. The severity of the situation authorises the disruption of the service algorithms, and I am prepared to sanction a ritual that will allow the data-angels of the Omnissiah to absorb the cogitators' computing power to combat these wicked spirits."
end of branch
Gamma"I wouldn't trust those uninvited 'allies' of yours — such magnanimity is wont to come with unsavoury intentions. Learn more about these creatures. Order your servants to hunt one of them down, torture it, and gain knowledge through the process... since they are incapable of finding pleasure in it."
end of branch
Gamma"The tactics playbook for putting down planet-wide revolts has just the thing for this: we begin by ordering a series of cascading power blackouts, thereby forcing the cultists to redeploy their troops away from any manufactorums that have gone offline. The 'data-angels' are sure to follow them. The schismaticals will respond by trying to gain control of the power distribution hubs — where the Tech-Priests will have set traps to eliminate all the intruders."
end of branch
YOU"Pasqal, sanction the ritual of bonding with the backup cogitators."
YOU"Let us join forces with the data-angels and get rid of the corruption together."
YOU"Marazhai is right. Capture one of the data-angels for me and use any means necessary to learn more about its nature. Destroy the rest along with the schismaticals."
YOU"Order my secret artisans to stab the cultists in the back."
YOU"Let the righteous warriors of Kiava Gamma exterminate all the data-spirits!"
YOU"The data-angels must be banished — just like the schismaticals. This is my world, and I will not have it endangered by uncontrollable elements."
YOU"We're following Solomorne's plan: lure the enemy into an ambush, then destroy them all in one fell swoop."
Gamma"Fortunately, we received information about the impending attack at the last moment. The signal was intercepted in the warp by Cubis Delphim's machine."
