IdiraIdira winks back at you slyly. "As you wish, Lord Captain! We'll reveal all his secrets in a jiff! Though I can't guarantee that his brains won't melt into mush in the process. But that's collateral, right?"
OfficerHe pales, his eyes darting between you and Idira. "N-no need, my lord/lady! I'd rather volunteer everything myself than let this one rummage around in my head — she might break something. But I beg of you, don't tell anyone, or the governor will turn my brains to mush for sure."
YOU"So why did they send you to the starport?"
Officer"I'm supposed to deliver updated vox-codes and, how should I put it... assess the situation. The planet is a real mess at the moment — the rebels have found their way into our vox-net and are now eavesdropping. This made proper communication impossible. The Hallowed Electrodynamic Cenobium had sent out a distress call before it went dark."
Officer"And who even knows what's happening in the system. There's been a riot on Rykadi Philia, the prison planetoid. Eurac V Station is silent, although, the Navigators there have always been a reclusive bunch. I was hoping I'd be lucky enough to run into a pilot or captain here who could give me an update, but... that's hardly a possibility right now — the rebels are blasting anything that tries to land out of the sky with their damn cannon."
YOU"So why did they send you to the starport?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Tell me about Eurac V."
Officer"There's not much anyone could tell you about it. That station belongs to the Navis Nobilite themselves. Emperor knows what they do up there or who even lives there. They scorn ordinary folk; the only person they're willing to grace with an audience is the esteemed Evayne Winterscale."
OfficerIt is beginning to sound like he is complaining. "That place is creepy. They say they order shuttles with servants from Rykad Minoris on a regular basis. I guess they're too important up there to change filters and clean compartments themselves, huh? Except, I've never met anyone who has served there. It's like no one ever comes back."
YOU"So why did they send you to the starport?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Tell me about Eurac V."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"There is something else you are hiding from me, isn't there? More classified secrets?"
OfficerJaspar looks away. "It's nothing classified, just... personal. There's another reason why I'm here. My betrothed is missing. Raquel Vekhari, the esteemed Evayne Winterscale's personal pilot. When the riot reports came from Rykadi Philia, Lord Evayne headed there personally. Then this rebellion started down here, and we lost communication. No one knows how they're doing up there."
Officer"You know what I'm afraid of? That they'll come back, and those rebel scumbags will shoot them out of the sky. I wanted to find a place that's high up, set up a vox-caster there, and send them a transmission: 'The sky is closed off, don't try to land.' But I didn't make it in time — those blind dogs chased after me, and as I was running, I tripped and broke the caster." He hangs his head sadly. "I worry for her. She's an excellent pilot, but I still worry."
YOU"Worry not, for your Raquel is alive. I met her on Rykadi Philia."
Officer"Really? That's marvellous! May the Emperor protect you for a thousand years and then a thousand more for bringing me such good news!" He beams in elation. "I'll name my firstborn after you, I swear! In fact, I'll name all my children after you!"

Officer"The esteemed and honourable scion of blessed Rogue Trader Calligos Winterscale, master of the Rykad System. At the behest of his illustrious father... or grandfather... or uncle... well, his illustrious relative, Lord Evayne took up residence on Rykad Minoris."
OfficerJaspar's face betrays a fierce inner struggle before he blurts out, "You know what I think? I find it curious that blessed Calligos didn't make him the ruler of our world. Lord Evayne is his blood, but it's the governor who rules us! Then why do you think he sent him here? I think he's been exiled!"

YOU[Brutally maim him] "You know, I think I will punish you for disclosing classified information after all."
OfficerHe falls to the ground with a cry. His once-handsome face has been disfigured by a deep laceration, he is missing half an ear, and his nose is crushed and twisted to one side. It is unlikely that Jaspar can afford a sawbones capable of restoring his good looks.
Officer"Your Lordship/Ladyship! Mercy! I... I confided in you and only you... It won't happen again, I swear! You were right to punish me, I won't tell anyone anything I'm not supposed to ever again! Please, spare my life!" He staggers back in terror without taking his eyes off you. The telltale brand you left on his face is crying blood, staining the rockcrete.

Officer"It was my pleasure to be of service to you, my lord/lady. It's been nice to chat to someone... normal." He glances warily at the body of the nearest blinded lunatic.
YOU"Who are you?"

YOU"Who are you?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Are you unharmed, soldier?"
Officer"All thanks to you, my lord/lady. Those blind lunatics are all over the city right now! These rebels, damn them to the void, go around maiming anyone they get their hands on and scorching their eyes. Then they leave the poor sods driven mad by the pain to wander the streets, babbling nonsense."
OfficerHe lowers his voice and adds with gravity, "The command doesn't want anyone to talk about it, but I've heard whispers that it's not just some nonsense — it's heresy, actual heresy. Because listening to it scrambles your brain. It made one patrolman freeze in his tracks while the blind mob got hold of him and carried him from his post off to who knows where."

YOU"I am a Rogue Trader. Why don't I simply order you to tell me everything? It is well within my rights."
YOU"What if what you know is priceless intelligence? And you were to die before you could relay it to anyone?"
YOU[Wink at Idira] "Mistress Tlass, would you kindly read all his thoughts for me?"
YOU"Whatever punishment you are afraid of, I can do worse things to you. You had better start talking."
YOU[Strike him] "Get out of my sight. You are a waste of my time!"
Officer"The fault is mine! I beg your forgiveness, Your Lordship/Ladyship! Orders are orders..." He shrinks, looking at you in terror, and departs with haste. It seems your anger scares him far more than the prospect of running into more rebels.
