Idira"Master/Mistress Fidelio, are you leaving already? I'm afraid you'll have to wait... wait, yes... It's Footfall Station Services, see, they're carrying out a scheduled inspection of the life support systems. It won't take long! An hour, maybe two..."
YOU"You never introduced yourself..."
Idira"I'm Daggen Otheo, I was first mate on Denz's ship, I mean, Master Bellardo."
YOU"You never introduced yourself..."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Given the deceased's former occupation, I have a good idea what role you played under his command."
IdiraDaggen smirks. "They used to call me Torch. He's Jerrycan, I'm Torch... those were the days!"

YOU"How did Bellardo die?"
Idira"Badly. He went downhill real fast — just a year ago, he was still living it up, storming the slum asteroids to shoot riffraff and mutants, and then all of a sudden, he was done. His old wounds had caught up with him... And he had plenty of those, both from the old days and more recent ones, like when somebody tried to bump him off... twelve years back, I think it was."

YOU"Did Bellardo ever mention repentance to you?"
Idira"No, but I know what you're talking about. The scribbles in his home, right? Yeah, it happened, all right — that writing just appeared out of nowhere. On the walls, the mirrors — and always the same word: 'Repentance.' I told him to get a psyker to check his house for sorcery, but he said no. Too pricey, I guess — he said something about that, how he had already paid too much for repentance. Not a lot of psykers around, and a single one of them will cost you as much as a team of top-notch bruisers..."

YOU"What did you wish to speak about?"
Idira"Here's the thing, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I'll just give it to you straight — I'm sorry, I don't know how to talk to lofty folk..."
Idira"Well, Denz — that is, Bellardo — my old friend and boss, died. And he left all he had — and he had a lot, mind you — to this Fidelio. That was kind of rude of him, that's no way to treat your friends. I get it, he left his useless son high and dry, and a good thing too, but his old friend?"
Idira"So I'm thinking... maybe you can step in and set things right? Intervene in the matter of the inheritance... or I don't know..."
YOU"Why did Denz leave you out of his will?"
Idira"Old age, you know, his head wasn't the same anymore... Yeah, that's got to be it. It was just too unfair. To fly with him for ten years and then get nothing for it?"
YOU"Why did Denz leave you out of his will?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"And who is this Fidelio?"
IdiraDaggen winces like he has a toothache. "I wish I knew! I first heard the name when Denz kicked it. Maybe Fidelio's a whore who put a smile on his face in his golden years? And so Denz decided to give them the whole kit and caboodle."
YOU"Why did Denz leave you out of his will?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"And who is this Fidelio?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"What do you want from me?"
Idira"You're a distinguished sort, you can muscle in on this. You can talk to Chaplain — he's Denz's executor — and ask about the will. Or maybe you can find Fidelio and have a talk with them too? I mean, who'd want an inheritance that's not rightfully theirs? More trouble than it's worth, if you ask me. And trust me, old Daggen can be of service to you if you need anything. I know lots about Footfall and other things, I can help with information, get you some solid lads for a job... You can use a guy like me!"

Idira(sequence)
Idira"Hey, listen, friend — how long did that go on? The writing? Anything else strange happen in the household? Flying knickknacks, furniture growing tentacles, people dying for no reason?"
Idira"Oh, all kinds of things happened, my girl! Things going flying, people dying, too — servants, that is. Whenever we felt like remembering our glory days and got sloshed on half a jug of the good stuff... that's when it would happen. I remember one time we decided to see who could carve open servitors in the dark the quickest..." Daggen grins, then catches himself and glances at you. "All right, serious talk — nah, nothing like that in his house. Nothing sorcerous apart from the writing. As for when it began... xenos knows. Ten, twelve years ago?"
IdiraIdira turns to you and shakes her head. "It'd be good to take a look at that writing, but if I had to guess — it doesn't sound like warp influence to me. If something really did take up residence in that house, it would've made a bigger splash in ten years. Like a dozen corpses big."
