YOU"Do not forget yourself, Interrogator. One more objection from you and I shall forget all about the need to deliver you to Footfall alive."

HeinrixYou detect a flicker of something beneath Heinrix's sanguine mask. Anger? Bitterness? Whatever it may be, it does not seep into the Interrogator's dispassionate voice. "In that case, I consider it necessary to point out that the mark of the Archenemy could infiltrate the ship along with any rescued people. Keep that in mind for the future."

NPC"Consider it done. It is likely our shuttles will have capacity to evacuate more people."

YOU"Nobles deserve to be saved above all others."

NPC"There is no need, Your Lordship/Ladyship. During the recent battle, our augurs recorded the emergence of a vessel from the asteroid field. It approached Rykadi Philia, sent down several shuttles, and then retreated. It seems the prisoners decided to capitalise on the fact that all eyes were decidedly not fixed on them for a time."

Entry point 2 of 2

NPC"Thanks be to the Emperor, you are alive, Your Lordship/Ladyship! We are most gratified by your return, and the crew is full of zeal to carry out any orders you may have."

YOU"Before anything else, I will hear an account of what happened to the system's sun!"

NPCThe Vox Master falters. "Lord Captain... we saw a number of ships approach the sun. Black creations of inhuman make, amalgams of sharp angles and edges... They surrounded the star, and then... My apologies, but I struggle to find words that could describe that terrible sight. The xenos made the sun vanish into the void!"

HeinrixThe Interrogator closes his eyes and grimaces. "Drukhari."

YOU"Would you care to elaborate, Heinrix?"

HeinrixHeinrix gives you a keen look. "I am talking about xenos, Rogue Trader. The Aeldari, one of Humanity's most ancient enemies. More specifically, I am referring to the most cruel and devious of their kind. The design of their ships matches the description provided by the Vox Master."

Heinrix"Like all xenos, the Drukhari are a blight on the face of the galaxy, but their technological superiority is indisputable. They abhor and fear warp sorcery, which is why they rely on creations of their twisted intellect — and many of those creations are capable of things that may seem akin to sorcery to the unenlightened eye. The theft of a sun is one example of what they are capable of."

YOU"Are the xenos in league with Aurora's cultists?"

Heinrix"We can rule out that possibility. The Drukhari would never ally themselves with the Archenemy's worshippers. If I had to name one thing that Humanity and these xenos have in common, it would be a shared loathing for warp corruption."

HeinrixHeinrix glances around. "The situation calls for immediate action, [Name]. We can continue this conversation later if you so wish, but right now..." He gestures at the deck teeming with tumultuous activity. "I believe you should assume command."

YOU"Before anything else, I will hear an account of what happened to the system's sun!"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What is the current situation on board?"

NPC"The Navigator's Sanctum is no longer empty, but the warp engine is still refusing to obey the Enginseers. Without it, we cannot perform a warp jump."

PasqalPasqal's voice buzzes anxiously from his vox. "It may be angry, or perhaps it is lamenting the injuries it has suffered. I will immediately initiate preparations for a prayer service. If the Omnissiah grants me comprehension, I will appease the machine spirit of this vessel."

YOU"Before anything else, I will hear an account of what happened to the system's sun!"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What is the current situation on board?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Why did you not send a shuttle to the planet for me?"

NPC"I do apologise, Your Lordship/Ladyship, but we were unable to receive your request for evacuation. The vox-link was overrun with vile interference — screams, blasphemous hymns, and other equally sinister noises. Any who listened to the interference for a protracted period lost their sanity. Several dozen operators went mad monitoring the vox-caster in the hope of hearing your voice. Each one of them waited in vain."

YOU"What is happening on the planet now?"

NPC"Our augur operators are reporting numerous uprisings and other manifestations of the Archenemy's powers at various locations on the planet. Based on the fragments of communications picked up by our vox operators, there is practically no resistance being offered by the governor's forces. Millions of people are converting to the blasphemous Final Dawn cult en masse and assembling in prayer circles."

YOU"Do we have any hope of retaking the planet?"

NPC"I fear that Rykad Minoris is lost. The situation is deteriorating by the minute — we must leave this system as soon as possible."

NPC"However, there are still people on the planet who have not succumbed to heresy and who are worthy of rescue. Besides the small number of our own shuttles, we also have the shuttles salvaged from the starport."

YOU"Why can we not try to evacuate at least some of the people?"

Heinrix"For the simple reason that the transformation process will soon become irreversible and our sole weapon against it useless. The energy released by the bombardment could stoke the warp energies. I have never witnessed the aftermath of bombing a daemon world before... but there is enough evidence of such attempts for me to say with confidence that you do not want to see it."

YOU"Why can we not try to evacuate at least some of the people?"

YOU"Which of the planet's inhabitants can we evacuate?"

NPC(sequence)

NPC"The nobles you rescued at the starport have given the coordinates of shelters where we can find surviving aristocrats and their families. As for the common people, saving them will not be possible — we cannot control the crowds, they will rush onto the shuttles and overload them, making it impossible to take off."

end of branch

NPC"Thanks to Sergeant Malgar's troops, we can manage the crowds of frightened commoners and prevent them from overloading our shuttles. However, I doubt we will find even one highborn citizen among them."

YOU"Nobles deserve to be saved above all others."

Heinrix"Any delay caused by loading and transporting to the ship will cost us precious time. Do not deceive yourself, [Name] — if you indulge your vanity, you will doom billions to eternal torment at the hands of the Archenemy."

YOU"Do not forget yourself, Interrogator. One more objection from you and I shall forget all about the need to deliver you to Footfall alive."

HeinrixHis face becomes impenetrable, but his voice burns cold. "I understand, [Name]. With your decision, you are handing an entire planet over to the Archenemy, and I will be obliged to notify the Lord Inquisitor of what has happened."

NPC(sequence)

ArgentaThe dark eyes of the Sister of Battle flash. "We must save as many as we can! This has all happened for a reason. Saint Argenta, whose name I carry with reverence and trepidation, is famed for saving the people of a dying world through the power of prayer. The God-Emperor Himself sent a star from the heavens that lifted the saint and her followers up to the sky, away from corruption and death. We must do as she did — direct all our efforts to saving those people who at this moment look to the heavens in hope of salvation!"

end of branch

Pasqal"The lives of peasants are of little value. Our prime objective is to save the holy relic — the Miraculous Fusion Reactor — and the Electro-Priests who guard and tend to it."

end of branch

AbelardAbelard furrows his brows. "Every moment we spend in proximity to a dying world, we are putting ourselves at risk. Your life, Lord Captain, is far more valuable than all of Rykad Minoris. The von Valancius dynasty cannot be allowed to perish! And so, lamentable though it is, we must rule out the idea of any evacuation."

end of branch

HeinrixHeinrix's eyes, like two deep, dark pools, are resolutely fixed on you. "The world is doomed — and its inhabitants along with it. The disappearance of the star was the final nudge toward death, the finale of the Cult of the Final Dawn's plans. I once witnessed a similar event — a world that had surrendered to the servants of the Archenemy and permitted corruption to enter too deep. At this moment, millions of people are bowing down before those who promised them salvation, and they are willingly giving over their souls to Chaos. A sacrifice great enough to bring forth a daemon world."

Heinrix"Our only hope of stopping this process is to retreat to a safe distance from the planet and conduct targeted bombing of the Electro-Priests' monastery. If we blow up the reactor, a thermonuclear reaction will follow... the world's oxygen will evaporate... killing off the entire biosphere. In doing this we will save millions of souls from a fate far worse than death, and we will save Rykad Minoris from becoming an outpost of the Archenemy."

end of branch

Kibellah"Only death can rescue these people. The Undying One has reached out His hand to this world. It is time for Him to reap His harvest. We must not reject His design lest millions of names never reach Him and instead perish in the depths of the Empyrean. Death is a mercy, Domin'[Name]."

end of branch

Cassia"Whatever fate you choose for this world... I urge you to make haste, Lord Captain! The planet is burning in raging flashes of crimson and purple, I can see it even from orbit. As do I see that the storm is already upon us. With every moment that we waste, it grows ever more difficult and perilous to steer the ship through the warp's turbulent currents."

Idira"I'm with the lady on this! Enough talking, we need to get out of here while we still can!"

end of branch

NPCSomething lurking in the depths of your consciousness bristles at the passing thought of saving people. The spike of horror you feel takes your breath away — it is as if you are planning to steal the prey of a mighty predator. The planet is already wrapped in a thread stretching out from the warp — it deserves to have a new master.

end of branch

NPC"There are still people on the planet who have not succumbed to heresy and who are worthy of rescue. However, we do not have enough shuttles for a large-scale evacuation, and too few shuttles escaped the starport to change the situation."

YOU"Set an optimal course and carry out an orbital strike on the Electro-Priest monastery. Rykad Minoris must fall."

NPC"Yes, Lord Captain. I will immediately inform the navigation and artillery decks of the impending manoeuvre."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"If we cannot stage a mass evacuation, dispatch shuttles to save whomever we can."

NPC"I stand ready to fulfil the order, Lord Captain, but I must inform you that this course of action places the shuttles at great risk, and even if it is successful, the number of evacuees will be negligible. Do you still wish to begin the rescue operation?"

YOU"If we save even one person, it will be worth the risk."

HeinrixHeinrix clenches his fists for a moment. "This is complete madness — bestial, primitive cannibalism. By His light, [Name] — Lord Captain, stop this! Order the strike on the reactor while we still can!"

YOU"Do not forget yourself, Interrogator. One more objection from you and I shall forget all about the need to deliver you to Footfall alive."

NPC"Consider it done."

YOU"And how were they able to carry out their plan? Why were they not spotted ahead of time? Explain yourselves!"

HeinrixHeinrix responds in Vigdis's stead: "Hold your temper, Rogue Trader. Judging by the Vox Master's description, the system was infiltrated by the most elusive breed of the Aeldari, one of Humanity's ancient enemies. Your augurs are no match for the kind of technology they have at their disposal."
