Entry point 2 of 16

NPCHeinrix is silent for a long time, his eyes distant. Then he meets your gaze. "No servant of the God-Emperor has closer dealings with corruption than the agents of the Golden Throne. In its quest to guard the Imperium against its foes' most devious and secret schemes, the Inquisition seeks to understand the essence of evil. It is not enough for us to burn or cut down a rotten seedling — we must study it. Understand it. Touch it. Every time any of us do our duty, we are risking our very souls. But when it comes to psykers... the soul of a psyker is especially enticing to the Archenemy."

NPC"I was operating the machine created by the servants of the Archenemy, and in doing so, I attracted the attention of the cult's master. Thank the Throne that it was only a glancing touch — if it hadn't been... we would not be speaking here today."

NPC"When I touched the cult's cogitator, I drew the thousand-eye gaze of evil upon myself — as any agent does when they interfere in the schemes of those who serve the Ruinous Powers. And that evil undoubtedly left an invisible mark upon me — as it does on any acolyte who fights against the Archenemy. And this will be the case every time I do my duty. I know a good deal about the fates of those who have served the Throne before me. Enough to know that my path leads to one place and one place only."

YOU"Touching the cogitator did... something... to you. I want to know what."

YOU"What are you going to do next?"

NPC"My visit to Kiava Gamma did not produce answers to all my questions, but we did succeed in dealing a blow to the cult by destroying the Fabricator-Censor's machine. I have directed my spies to track the sect's surviving leaders — I am certain that they will have useful information for us soon. Though small, this is a victory for the Golden Throne, and I have you to thank for it, [Name]!"

YOU"Touching the cogitator did... something... to you. I want to know what."

YOU"So now I can be rid of you?"

NPC"Are you so certain that the cult has not spread its roots elsewhere in your domain? I fear I will have to remain a while longer, Rogue Trader. Besides, I am in your retinue not solely for the sake of my own mission, but also to serve as..." Heinrix hesitates, reaching for the right word. "...an advisor sympathetic to your endeavours. I am under orders, I remind you, to 'provide escort and support in deeds great and small that serve to safeguard the territories of the Imperium against its enemies.'"

YOU"I think that will be all for now."

NPCHeinrix's eyes are fixed on you as if he is pondering something. At last, having made a decision, he says quietly, "Now that my mission is concluded, I can devote my time to other things. Such as that long-promised conversation with the Lord Captain."

YOU"It would be a pleasure. Why don't we go to my study?"

NPCHeinrix bows slightly. "After you, Lord Captain."

YOU"I am rather busy just now... but we shall certainly revisit this."

NPCHeinrix dips his head, smiling. "When you find the time, let me know."

YOU"I find myself with some free time, and I would like to spend it in private conversation with you."

NPCHeinrix bows slightly. "After you, Lord Captain."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"You wanted to discuss the nature of your mission."

NPC"Yes, but not here. I wouldn't want our conversation to be gossip fodder on the bridge and in the officers' mess."

YOU"Heinrix, what kind of gift do you think I could give Jae?"

NPC"Mistress Heydari is a dangerous person, and dangerous people like dangerous things. Jae is probably partial to good weapons — she even has a small but enviable collection. Such a gift would not only be practical, given her perilous trade, but it would also show that you have taken an interest in her as a person and her tastes. Such demonstrations are very important when dealing with infor— people with whom you would like to curry favour."

YOU"I know nothing about you, Heinrix. Could you tell me a little about yourself?"

NPCHeinrix's face is momentarily split by a sarcastic grin. "I'm usually the one interested in the pasts of those around me, not the reverse. I come from a Knight world — Guisorn III. I belonged to a branch of one of the noble houses... until my exceptional abilities were discovered. After that I was sent on a Black Ship to Holy Terra, where I was trained and I began my service for the glory of the Imperium."

YOU"Do you remember your home planet?"

NPC"I do, but I have no ties to my homeworld now, none except my first name." Heinrix's mouth turns down. "I left Guisorn III when I was still a child. My family disowned me, stripping me of my family name — I was given a new one by those who trained me. Even for a noble, being branded a psyker is a mark of eternal shame. I experienced that first-hand, before I was put on the Black Ship."

YOU"Do you remember your home planet?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"How did you discover your abilities?"

NPC"Like many psykers unaware of their curse, I found out when a strong emotional reaction triggered an involuntary response." Heinrix falls silent. Then he sighs and reluctantly continues, "My great-aunt had a pet grink. One day, it bit me, and I boiled it from inside out." The Interrogator looks away and adds more quietly, "And when my great-aunt slapped me for what I'd done, I boiled her too."

YOU"Sorcerous powers are truly dangerous. I hope you have mastered your abilities since then."

NPC"When I arrived on Holy Terra and was tested, I was found to be suitable material for becoming a sanctioned psyker, able to bend his curse to his own will. I can assure you that the adepts of the Astra Telepathica were right in their assessment."

YOU"Do you remember your home planet?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"How did you discover your abilities?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Tell me about the Black Ship."

NPCHeinrix is silent for so long, you begin to think that an answer will not be forthcoming. "Picture a vast prison ship filled with frightened, angry psykers who can't control their abilities and who have just lost their homes and their families. Some of them were children and adolescents like I was. Some were monstrous creatures who no longer had the right to be called human, or psychopaths who revelled in their impure powers."

NPC"Once, when one of the miscreants broke free, those in command simply depressurised the bay and got rid of the culprit, along with the prisoners and crew tainted by him. But even after that, I heard the echo of inhuman suffering and terror that filled that part of the ship. It grieves me to recall that episode to this day."

YOU"Tell me about the Black Ship."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"You were sent to the Inquisition straight after training?"

NPC"No. First, I was accorded the status of a psyker fit for service in the Imperial Guard, where I then spent several years. It was only afterward that I became an agent of the Golden Throne." Heinrix stops there, clearly not intending to elaborate further.

YOU"How long have you served in the Inquisition?"

NPC"Since the day of my initiation as an acolyte — so, decades." Heinrix shrugs. "How many real years it's been, it's hard to say. When I return from a journey through the warp, I often discover that much more or much less time has passed in realspace."

YOU"You've visited many worlds during your service, I'll wager..."

NPC"Indeed. I have visited many of the places brought to the Emperor's light... and those sullied by the filth of the Archenemy. In truth, even after all these years spent visiting the various corners of the Imperium and looking beyond its borders, I still consider the Segmentum Solar to be the greatest of all Humanity's bastions. Nothing compares to the majesty of Holy Terra, the might of Mars, the grandeur of the segment's other worlds."

YOU"You've visited many worlds during your service, I'll wager..."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What duties have you been carrying out for the Inquisitor?"

NPCThe Interrogator returns your look and smiles — but thanks to the expression in his ice-cold eyes, the effect is rather unnerving. "You can't really be expecting me to answer that question, can you?"

YOU"You've visited many worlds during your service, I'll wager..."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What duties have you been carrying out for the Inquisitor?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"For someone who's been in service for decades, you certainly look young."

NPC"The first step for biomancers such as myself is to take control of the processes of their own body — including ageing." Heinrix smiles crookedly. "I have endured innumerable hazards in my work — if I allowed every trace of them to remain, I would look completely different today."

YOU"How long have you served in the Inquisition?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"You're not the Inquisitor's only acolyte, correct?"

NPC"Of course not. The Lord Inquisitor's entourage comprises dozens of people — the best of the best, experts in various fields and disciplines. Some of them I know personally. Others I have never met."

NPCHeinrix's expression becomes pensive, and he seems to look through you to something beyond. "To be honest, I'm not even certain that the people I know are still alive. I used to work with other acolytes of the Lord Inquisitor, but in the Koronus Expanse, I have been working alone."

YOU"Wandering among the stars without family or friends... Don't you get lonely?"

NPCHeinrix blinks and looks at you almost as if in surprise. "I... had never even considered such a thing before you asked. Hmm. Perhaps I do. Sometimes."

YOU"I'm not a bad conversation partner, should you ever want company."

NPCHeinrix looks at you for a few seconds, then gives you an almost imperceptible smile. "Perhaps. When we both find a suitable time."

YOU"Wandering among the stars without family or friends... Don't you get lonely?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"If you're an Interrogator, does that mean you hold a special position in the retinue?"

NPC"We are not a retinue, [Name] — we are acolytes. As for your question, I am closer than anyone else to the one I call my personal teacher. The Lord Inquisitor deemed me worthy of undertaking the most important and sensitive tasks requiring the attention of agents of the Golden Throne."

YOU"Wandering among the stars without family or friends... Don't you get lonely?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"If you're an Interrogator, does that mean you hold a special position in the retinue?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Are there other acolytes in the Koronus Expanse?"

NPCThe Interrogator narrows his eyes at you and releases a disappointed sigh. After several seconds of silence, you realise that you will not be getting an answer.

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"You have decided to leave the Inquisition. What will happen to you now?"

NPC"I am a heretic, [Name]." Heinrix gives a slight shrug, smiling softly. "It is strange to say and even stranger to hear... but that is my decision. No more sacrifices in the name of the Imperium. I have paid my debt to the Golden Throne — now I serve you."

YOU"Will they come after you?"

NPC"Undoubtedly. And it is likely that my former colleagues will succeed in that purpose, sooner or later." Heinrix smiles crookedly. "Don't count on them losing interest in destroying a traitor — I know I wouldn't give up. But you have nothing to worry about — I will do everything I can to ensure that when they come for me, you will not be harmed."

YOU"Will they come after you?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Is your control over your psyker powers going to weaken still further?"

NPC"I understand your concern. You may no longer trust my judgement in this matter, but... since that breach, I have no longer felt the same tension or the same danger. My control over my sorcery seems to have recovered... at least partially."

NPC"But if you think my excommunication from the Inquisition will automatically strip me of all my psyker techniques and my will, leaving me utterly unable to resist the warp... then, no." He allows himself a chuckle. "That's not how it works. My self-control is solely mine."

YOU"Will they come after you?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Is your control over your psyker powers going to weaken still further?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU[Kiss Heinrix] "I promise you will not regret your decision."

NPCHeinrix responds passionately to your kiss, then laughs huskily. "I know."

YOU"You have decided to leave the Inquisition. What will happen to you now?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"I want to discuss the Cult of the Final Dawn. What can you tell me about it?"

NPC"The cult's ordinary members are humans who have been corrupted by the Archenemy, traitors to the Imperium, and accomplices of Chaos. Participation in the cult's rituals always entails brainwashing, literally and figuratively. The longer cult members spend among other cultists, the less critically they think and the more closely they resemble obedient livestock, stripped of their fear and instinct for self-preservation. The worst of them go to their deaths without an inkling of doubt, ready to take hundreds and thousands of souls with them."

NPC"As for those at the top of the cult's hierarchy... we have not yet managed to get a lead on all of the cult's leaders. I imagine that some of them are hiding in the depths of the Koronus Expanse, but those who are orchestrating the fanatics on nearby worlds are hiding very well indeed... or receiving protection from above."

YOU"Remind me, what is your mission regarding the cult?"

NPC"I need to confirm the reports from my agents. According to them, one of the cult's leaders is in the Kiava Gamma segment — an industrial world within the dominion of the von Valancius dynasty. I hope you won't impede my investigation."

YOU"Remind me, what is your mission regarding the cult?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What do you mean, 'protection from above'?"

NPC"Governors. Commanders. Rogue Traders. History is full of those who neglect their duty to the Golden Throne and seek allies in the wrong places."

YOU"Remind me, what is your mission regarding the cult?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What do you mean, 'protection from above'?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"You seem to have been investigating this cult for some time..."

NPC"We discovered the first traces of it as soon as we arrived in the Koronus Expanse. Since then, the more we learn, the better we see just how far the roots of this blight extend. Destroying individual cells is pointless — we must cut this beast off at its head."

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What can you do as a psyker?"

NPC"The Lord Inquisitor was most insistent that I master the discipline of Sanctic Daemonology. I use my faith and my power to crush the enemies of the Imperium — servants of Chaos tremble at the sound of the Emperor's name, uttered by my lips. I am also a skilled biomancer — I can manipulate bodily processes. Sometimes... sometimes I resort to those skills in the course of my work. When it is necessary to make the subject of an interrogation more cooperative."

NPC"More than. The data we retrieved is already in the hands of the Inquisition — in the custody of those who can extract the secrets of the future from the claws of Chaos. The sacrifices made to the cogitator will not have been for nothing."

NPCHeinrix permits himself the ghost of a smile. "We dealt a blow not only to the cultists, but to the Archenemy itself. I cannot help but be pleased."

YOU"Touching the cogitator did... something... to you. I want to know what."

NPC(sequence)

NPCThe smile fades from the Interrogator's face. "However, there is something I must tell you. Back there, at the cogitator... my decision to let it complete its operation allowed me to... I can't even find words... to perceive something of what is to come. You deserve to know this. The cult is threatening the worlds within your protectorate, after all, [Name]."

NPC"I could choose to think of it as an echo of the past or a spectre of the future, but that's not it. Warp sorcery joins stretches of time together, violating the accepted sequence and flow of events. I heard a resonance of the person behind the cult. I've faced daemons more than once before, [Name], but this? I couldn't have imagined such a concentration of evil and corruption. [Name]... I am convinced that one of the Greater Daemons is behind the Cult of the Final Dawn. Beware the day when that daemon finds a way to appear in this world."

end of branch

NPC"Of course. The Fabricator-Censor's machine was stopped. Not another soul will be sent into the mouth of the Archenemy. In time, we will succeed in uncovering and stopping other schemes of the cult."

YOU"I am bored of Yrliet. I would like to hand the xenos over to the Inquisition."

NPCA furrow forms between Heinrix's brows. "By this declaration, if I understand correctly, you are stripping the xenos of your protection as a Rogue Trader and delegating the fate of this enemy of Humanity to the Holy Inquisition?"

YOU"Just so. See to it that I never set eyes on that xenos again."

NPCThe Interrogator bows to you. "Thank you for facilitating this, Lord Captain. I will arrange and personally oversee the extraction of the xenos from your crew without any casualties or damage to your vessel."

YOU"We have crossed a line. I think we should return to how things were between us before."

NPCAn unreadable expression is frozen on Heinrix's face. "Is that... what you want, [Name]?"

YOU"It is, Heinrix. I've had enough of games."

NPC"Games, you say? Well, then, I totally agree — games truly are a waste of time." Heinrix's voice is tinged with bitterness, but his expression does not change.
