DoomedThe woman shoots you a crazed, inhuman look — and suddenly backs away with an agonising groan, clutching at her face.
DoomedWith an unnatural roar, the psyker rears up — her features are drooping, melting like candle wax. Her swollen lips part, revealing sharp teeth, and her bright orange pupils expand to fill her eyes completely. The psyker slumps to the ground — and the smell of ozone gives way to a disgusting sulphurous stench.

DoomedThe woman hesitates, looking at you warily. At last she sobs and replies meekly, "Stay away... In the Emperor's name, stay away from me..."
DoomedHer voice is barely audible, but you manage to make out the words: "I don't remember how I ended up here... don't remember what happened... there was a bright light, like from arc-welding... and then... the light reached out with its clutches..." She moans and holds her head.
Doomed"The light... is taking me over. It's everywhere already! Everywhere..." The woman turns her head toward you and blurts out in an unexpectedly low and gruff voice, "Save me! Give me the Emperor's Peace! Please!"
YOU"No! We will save you, get you away from here — just hold on!"
Doomed"No! Too late! The light! The light is devoooOOOOAAARGH!" The woman clutches at her face and recoils from you.

YOU[Kill the woman] "May the Emperor guard your soul."
DoomedA single blow is enough to end the psyker's pitiful existence. You examine the corpse and, with a start, realise the woman's facial features seem to have melted from extreme heat. Whoever or whatever had the poor creature in its thrall has now vanished without a trace.

DoomedThe woman snarls, but a moment later, her growl becomes a desperate moan: "I can't... resist... Emperor, protect..."

DoomedA shot rings out, and the woman sags to the floor without a sound. The ozone smell immediately starts to dissipate, giving way to the usual scents of an industrial world.

DoomedThe dirty, dishevelled woman pays you no heed, lowering her head and looking at the ground with genuine interest, at something that either does not exist or is invisible to your eyes.
DoomedEven at this distance you can detect the distinct smell of ozone — too fresh for this stuffy room reeking of soot and industrial lubricant. The woman raises a maimed hand and absent-mindedly runs its two remaining fingers through her matted hair.
YOU[Try to shoot the psyker from a distance]
YOU"Hey! Hey, can you hear me? I want to help!"
DoomedThe woman jerks her head and transfixes you with a delirious gaze. Only now do you notice a reddish black mark on her cheek — a many-pointed star, a symbol of Chaos. The prisoner bares her teeth, but you cannot tell whether she does so as a threat or simply out of fear.
YOU"Don't be afraid. Tell me, who are you?"
YOU"Pull yourself together, citizen! Shake off the compulsion and tell me who you are!"
YOU[Attack] "There is only one way to help you."

Doomed(sequence)
Heinrix"She is a psyker — I can feel warp emanations roiling around her. One of the cultists' prisoners. How did she manage to get out of the cage and survive? Be vigilant — creatures like her remain dangerous even when they mean to do no harm."
IdiraIdira looks at Heinrix with scorn but says nothing, just hisses venomously through her teeth.

KibellahKibellah closes her eyes as if listening to something. "This tormented soul is beyond help. Grant her the gift of the Undying One while she still can accept it with gratitude."
Idira"What an unexpected bit of advice. I can't believe it's coming out of your mouth!"
