Psyker — Rogue Trader Dialogue Archive

Entry point 1 of 10

PsykerIdira sucks in a breath and coughs. Something pale and wriggling flies out of her mouth and hits the floor — white maggots that immediately melt and turn to smoke. "I... that wasn't me! I swear on everything that's holy! I don't know what the second 'road' is or who watches over it, but, I beg you, stay away from it!"

YOU"Idira, about your abilities..."

PsykerWith noticeable effort, Idira focuses her eyes on you. She lets out a nervous laugh. "What are you talking about, Lord Captain?"

YOU"You are a psyker. Psykers are only granted the right to live with the Emperor's blessing. Have you ever been to Terra?"

PsykerIdira says nothing for a few seconds, and then exaggeratedly rolls her eyes. "Look... Lady Theodora couldn't care less if some eggheads measured my brains or not. It's not about the seal on your forehead, get it? It's about what's in your gut — if it's rotten or not. My gut's stronger than the adamantine on this here ship. And my implants are better than the ones they put in you on your Terra. If they weren't, I wouldn't have lived as long as I have." Idira bares her teeth in a savage grin, a febrile gleam in her eye.

YOU"Idira, about your abilities..."

YOU"You seemed to have a very strong reaction to what Argenta said by the broken lens."

Psyker"It was just my nerves playing up!" Idira snorts. But then she frowns and continues more seriously, "Something about our little saint doesn't sit right with me, and I trust my gut. Oh sure, she seems straight as an arrow and as predictable as a hangover after drinking, but when I look at her — something about her makes my brain itch."

Psyker"After that conversation, I tried to listen to what was being said about her... beyond the door..." Idira adds in a murmur. "What I heard was... strange. Blood in her past, twilight in her present, and something like a star leading her? But where is it leading her? I saw several roads, and all of them frightened me."

YOU"And what does it all mean?"

Psyker"If I knew I would've told you. Hearing things clearly requires cooperation from the other person, you know, but that cobra just hisses and spits its venom at me. I don't trust her one bit..."

YOU"And what does it all mean?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Maybe we should warn Argenta?"

Psyker"Oh yeah, you go ahead and tell her the wicked psyker has divined something about her. She'll be so pleased and grateful, and of course she'll listen to what you have to say! No, that would be pointless. And anyway, I'm not even sure what it all means. Maybe the danger is to her... or maybe the danger's coming from her."

YOU"Epitaph, Incident N872-04, tech-blight — do these words mean anything to you? Perhaps your abilities can tell you something?"

Psyker"They mean nothing to me. They're just words." Suddenly, Idira breaks off and winces. She brings her hands to her temples. She winces again. "A whisper... so quiet I barely caught it... like a feather landing on a pile of down... Something about damned ambitions, antiquity, terrible antiquity... and chance. Chance through it all."

PsykerShe falls silent and looks at you in surprise. "Now I have a headache. And the stupid bloody whisper wasn't much help!"

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

PsykerIdira's face breaks into a crooked smile. "Well, it would have to be something that screams 'Look how much the Rogue Trader loves me' in the faces of everyone she meets. Like a fabulous gown beyond anything that even the noblewomen of Dargonus can acquire. Our 'princess of smugglers' would love the opportunity to rub the nobility's noses in her newfound privileges."

YOU"Got a new story for me, Idira?"

Psyker"You bet I do, Lord Captain!" Idira becomes much more animated and her expression turns slightly dreamy as she recalls one of her stories.

Psyker"Okay, so, we went to Footfall once... well, I mean, Lord Captain Theodora went to Footfall a lot, but on that occasion, she took me with her for some reason. My day had gotten off to a bad start, my head had been yammering since I woke up, but there was nothing else for it — I had to go. We arrive at the place — and what a place! All the gentlemen and ladies dressed to kill, showing off their encrusted implants, all clustered around little tables... Well, turned out it was a gaming den, and not just any gaming den, but one run by somebody with deep pockets for people with just as much cash to splash. You should have seen it — people gambling away planets in a game of regicide! Anyway, so the Lord Captain wanted me to help her beat some guy... So I tell her: the chips won't land in your favour, you'll get a bad hand, don't sit down at that table, Your Ladyship! But did she listen? Of course she didn't — if there's one thing she never lacked, it's stubbornness."

Psyker"So, they sat down, and the cards were dealt. I'm hovering around, like I'm not involved, but I'm keeping my eye on things. And everything in my head keeps getting louder and louder... anyway, it's a good thing I realised in time that my mind wasn't going haywire over a losing hand, but something else. I made some excuse to drag the Lord Captain up from the table and took her away from that place, and a few minutes later, the room where we'd been..." Idira can't help herself and bursts out laughing. "It turned out some wise guy had the same bright idea to bring a pet psyker along with him! One of those ones who just scuttle around in Footfall's underbelly. And the psyker just... freaked out, I guess! After all the commotion, people went to see what happened in the room — and they'd all gone for each others' throats! Literally! With teeth!" Weeping, Idira wipes away a tear. "Huh... and I think they completely detached that asteroid from Footfall and pushed it off into open space so it would head off toward the local star."

YOU"Got a new story for me, Idira?"

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Where do you come from?"

Psyker"Leira, an outlying world in the Heathen Stars region. In the Koronus Expanse, the deeper you go, the less visible the Astronomican gets and the less people know about the Imperium. The arrival of a Rogue Trader is the best thing that can happen to a world like that. The very best."

YOU"You never finished your story about your first time crossing the warp."

PsykerIdira rubs her nose. "It wasn't... it wasn't like it was a very fun trip, Lord Captain... but look: if you want to be entertained — I'm the woman for the job. I'll entertain you with one of the stories from my collection, no problem. But if you want to hear about the time I melted everyone in the bay next door... well, I just don't really want to go into the details on that one, all right?"

YOU"You never finished your story about your first time crossing the warp."

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Tell me about Leira."

Psyker"It's an out-of-the-way planetoid between two faint stars. On Leira, a dozen local tyrants fight over five measly continents, but they use everything they can to win — from poison to psykers." Idira begins wringing her shaking hands. "I haven't been there in many years, but there's nothing for me to miss, trust me."

YOU"You never finished your story about your first time crossing the warp."

continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Tell me about Leira."continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What did you do before you came to be on the ship?"

Psyker"I embroidered wall hangings in honour of our national heroes. Ha!" Idira cackles. "I did the same thing I do here, Lord Captain: divining. Our rulers prized the ability to see into the future — every psyker that could be found was worth a small fortune on Leira."

Psyker"There's no such thing as a peaceful life on Leira. People like me were especially sought after — they'd pick psykers up wherever they found them, buy kids off their parents, even just abduct them. Take me, for instance, I got taken from my street gang — the older kids sold me when they noticed there was something off about me. The ruling dynasties had schools where they trained us, and beat us black and blue. And then they packed us off to serve. Some of us held on for a long time, but others didn't last. Not everyone's as smart and talented as me, you know. Some people crossed the line and were out of commission before their time." Idira looks at you expectantly. Then, as though clarifying, she uses her hands to indicate a head exploding and laughs.

YOU"What did you do before you came to be on the ship?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"How did you end up in the Rogue Trader's service?"

Psyker"Theodora von Valancius paid a visit to the ruler I was serving at the time. I don't know what the visit was for — and it's no business of mine, anyway." Idira squints as though she's peering at something far away. "I can still remember the way the voices in my head changed when I looked at her — they were practically screaming. She had so much behind her... and plenty ahead of her, too."

Psyker"And as I gawped at her... all of a sudden I heard a whisper. A hint, a suggestion, nothing more. But I know the difference between idle chatter and a real threat. I seized my chance and approached Theodora. I managed to whisper a couple of words in her ear before the wardens dragged me away. They beat me and locked me up — no wonder, it wasn't my place to converse with outsiders... and then Theodora's people came for me. They broke down the wall, butchered the guards — all so I could tell them my warning in full. So, I said the rest, but I didn't want to go back to my old life — and so I entered the service of the von Valancius dynasty."

YOU"Have you ever been off the ship?"

Psyker"A few times. Not many. And if I think about it — why would I want to? I've got everything I need here. All the whispers I hear are familiar ones, they almost feel like family. And if I want to hear about the nightmares off the ship, I can, after some amasec." Idira winces and rubs her eyes. "But don't go getting the wrong idea — if I have to, I'll follow you to the edge of the galaxy."

YOU"I'd like to hear your augury, Idira. What awaits me in the future?"

Psyker"All right, let's hear what they're whispering about you, hmm?" Idira laughs, rubs her hands together — and suddenly freezes with a vacant smile on her face, her head slightly tilted. You feel goosebumps appear on your skin, and your collar begins to waver ever so slightly, as if moved by a breeze from a half-open door.

Psyker(sequence)

Psyker"Another road... the road begins at the threshold of the Expanse and leads to the bowels of the emerging wor... wor... world..." Idira turns grey and begins gasping for breath. A foreign voice tears its way out of her rasping throat — the deep, heavy rumbling of a distant avalanche. "Reading the threads of fate is not meant for you, slave of the enthroned corpse! Step into the embrace of doom, for thus was it preordained by the Architect of Fates!"

end of branch

Psyker(sequence)

Psyker"Seek not on firm ground but in a golden hall suspended in the void. There waits a child without kin, but with a name blind to truth. She draws the brush across the canvas and does not notice that her palette is full not of paint but of blood. And with each smear, this well does not deplete, but fills, and fills, up to the brim... One thing is clear — when this vessel overflows, none will remain unstained."

end of branch

Psyker"Among the blind men and false prophets, a red-robed sage seeks the answer to a question. He does not know that it is not the answer he must seek, but the question that will draw everything into focus. Will you help him, Rogue Trader? But mark that sometimes ignorance is sweeter than oblivion."

end of branch

Psyker"A chained hound chases after glimmers of the aurora, but sparks and the scent of oil confound his nose. A chain trails after him — what will happen if you pick it up? Will you become his master/mistress, or merely another beast in the pack of his true lord?"

end of branch

Psyker"The glow of dawn bursts forth from its prison — dungeon walls cannot contain the dark essence wallowing in the dust. A naive cub pushes his nose into a familiar hand, one that holds death in twisted glass. Cherish it or cast it off as a burden — the sword of change has already been raised, what is one more life to it?"

end of branch

PsykerIdira flinches, her mouth desperately gulping down air as if someone just punched her in the gut. "Darkness creeps into my throat, my nostrils, it wriggles under my skin... It slips into my lungs and fills them with despair, blocking up my eyes and ears. There is only it, around me and inside me." She suddenly straightens and cries out, looking around in confusion. "Forgive me, Lord Captain... It's strange, but the whispers just fell silent all at once. I have no clue what it means. My intuition tells me it's something dire."

end of branch

PsykerIdira's voice is sonorous and crystal-clear, almost theatrical. "An ancient world with a riven heart. Find the path to it — and its riches will be yours! But paths there are two, and both will cloak you in disgrace, and neither is what it seems... What will you choose, Rogue Trader? The fall of the Empyrean or the fall of the dead gods?"

end of branch

Psyker"In the cradle of your ancestors, a black dragon hungers, cunning and spitting venom. Many paths lead from home, but only one leads back to it, black and full of sorrow. When you start along the path, make haste! Make haste!"

end of branch

Psyker"An autoquill painstakingly lays out the plan, letter by letter, step by step. But only one fate awaits this note — another's hand will carelessly douse it with ink, drawing over someone else's design with your blood. The hand is directed by another hand, and it, in turn, by another... Who? Who stands behind the shadows of monstrous spires?"

end of branch

Psyker"The stone visage of the Emperor is fearsome, but it does not see the flames at His feet. The brow of the one who calls herself His retribution is crowned by an orbital halo of corpses. But they do not all burn the same — cold calculation can break even righteous anger. There is a canister of promethium at your feet, and where to pour it is your decision alone."

end of branch

Psyker"In the labyrinth of a strange world, vengeance is served in procession: an eye for an eye. The spilt blood of those who see leads to revenge against those who were blinded. And drawn by the scent, a sickened beast comes running, baring its teeth. Its taming is a sham and leads to a crossroads — wash out the poisoned blood, revel in it, or soak the earth in scarlet."

end of branch

Psyker"The clockwork heart of a forbidden relic beats out of rhythm, grating more with every throb. He who started on your path with you will make way for daybreak. In the foundry depths, a devastating blade is forged, one that you cannot hold. To unsheathe it is to call down doom and destruction."

end of branch

PsykerIdira's gaze is distant and her voice multiplies in an unnatural metallic echo. "Where it all began and where the paths reconverged — everything has come together. A step into eternity, where the silence of graves offends the beating of hearts. This step will be the last. Listen to the whisper inside your head, for my words have run dry, Rogue Trader."

end of branch

PsykerIdira strains to listen, then frowns and shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Lord Captain, the voices are going wild — I can't make out a thing. I'll try to rein them in somehow, but for now..." The psyker shrugs sheepishly and sniffs.

YOU"Did you know Theodora von Valancius well?"

PsykerIdira shakes her head. "None of the officers knew the Lord Captain well. Not even Abelard, and she was always closer to him than anyone else. She told me from the off if I ever listened to anything in the warp about her without her permission, I'd be going out through the airlock. I'm not an idiot, so I never stuck my nose where it didn't belong — only when I was asked."

PsykerIdira's eyes darken and a strange, otherworldly expression comes over her face. "It's... hard to wrap my head around the fact that she's gone. Lady von Valancius gave me everything I have. She opened the stars to me and the paths between them. I... I still think I can hear her voice." Idira lets out a sharp breath and shakes her head.

YOU"Have you recovered from your encounter with the false Theodora?"

PsykerIdira nods solemnly, her eyes filled with a feverish gleam. "I have, Lord Captain! I remember our pact and I have myself under control. The voices haven't quietened... but I'm managing. And if I'm ever tempted to slack off..." She looks over her shoulder at her guard. "...I have a constant reminder of what's at stake."

YOU"You know, Idira... Life is short. Why don't you talk to Vigdis? She is deeply concerned about you."

PsykerIdira looks at you in surprise. "How did you— wait, what am I saying? You said her name, when you were trying to..." She looks down and says in a thick voice, "You said she's worried? You think I should talk to her, yeah? We haven't talked in a long time... Good idea, [Name]. I'll do that."

Psyker"The little sister is afflicted with her own set of voices, ones that whisper to her about corruption and heresy." Idira falls silent, and then in a different voice adds, "The silly girl doesn't realise that if she wants to find the source, she needs to start by looking in her own head."

YOU"Idira, how are you? Not regretting your decision, are you?"

PsykerAn unintelligible clamour of whispers erupts from the psyker's throat, and it takes a few seconds for her to find her own voice among them and respond. "Lord Captain, I never had any other choice. You opened our— no, my! MY! Yes, you opened my eyes. I'm no longer scared of what's behind the door, because now I know for sure. I know nothing can threaten me when I'm with you. Thank you."

YOU"You speak with so many voices now. Which one is yours?"

Psyker"They're all mine. They've always been mine and always will be mine. Not a second goes by that I don't hear them now. So many... possibilities... So many destinies. We— I get lost in them, but only by losing myself completely was I able to find my own. It is terrible. No, beautiful! No... What is it like? I've lost it again. But I'll find it, I'll find it again, I'm just a little bit lost..."

YOU"You speak with so many voices now. Which one is yours?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"I will always help you, Idira. The Lord Captain will never guide you wrong."

Psyker"Won't guide me wrong, no, won't guide me! Why should you be the one guiding me when I can guide myself? Yes, my little whispers? We'll guide you however you want! Just tell us. No, don't tell us! No, you should think for a minute! Now? Or when? Maybe you already thought tomorrow? Let me look for it..." Idira descends into incoherent mumbling.

YOU"I have learned that there are caches left by Theodora somewhere on Dargonus and Kiava Gamma. Do you know anything about this?"

PsykerIdira snorts, suppressing a laugh. "Me? Not a clue, Lord Captain. I don't know who Lady Theodora would've told about a thing like that, but it definitely wasn't m—" She breaks off, appearing to listen to something. Grief passes over her face like a shadow. "Why would you whisper that to me now? Why?"

PsykerIdira speaks quietly, her voice trembling. "Lord Captain, I don't know anything about caches or Lady Theodora's secrets, but the voices... the voices have just reminded me about something. I was once given the chance to try some real wine — Lady Theodora gave me some... Not just any old synthetic booze, but her favourite plonk. She always drank it in her palace. It was golden in colour, and its name was Flame of Purity. A silly name, but the flavour was so intense and like nothing I'd ever tasted before or since..." Sniffing sadly, Idira shakes her head. "Apologies. It's probably not important, but I don't know anything more than that."

PsykerIdira freezes, her eyes beginning to fill with fear. "What?"

YOU"I repeat: the next habitable world we come to, you're off my ship."

PsykerIdira steps back like she's been struck. "But why?" She stares at your face and seems to find an answer there, because she lets out a trembling sigh and nods. "Y-yes, Lord Captain. I'll... start making arrangements. Farewell."

Psyker"And rightly so — not worrying is a good thing! I'm not worrying anymore — why make such a fuss? We'll be the first to hear and tell you about everything you should be worried about. But Idira won't be one of them — she won't be worrying you anymore. After all, I'm not alone, and I feel so good and so safe! Isn't that right, my little whisperers?"

PsykerIdira's eyes are empty and impassive. "Regretting it? What's to regret? I'm alive, and I'm in control. Nothing else matters. Now I can do my duty and serve you better than ever before — you don't need to worry."

YOU"You seem dispirited. Suspiciously so."

Psyker"This is just me, stripped of all the stuff that doesn't matter. I used to hide my fear behind stories, jokes, and sucking up to my superiors. Now my fear's gone, so I don't need to hide anything anymore. I won't give you any more reasons to call me a burden or a liability, Lord Captain. I am your tool, [Name] — use me as you will."

YOU"Excellent. I expected nothing less."

PsykerIdira smiles broadly. "Never been better, Lord Captain — no joke! As soon as I stopped fearing for my life, even the voices in my head quietened down. But don't get me wrong — they will come back, and one day I'll find myself in a situation I can't get out of... But for now I'm fine, and it's all thanks to you!"

Psyker"You know, I think it's pretty ironic that my gift lets me see the future, when thinking about the future is the thing I'll do anything to avoid. Substances of all kinds, jokes, stories about the good old days — I hide under them all like a blanket. As long as I don't poke my head out, everything will be okay. At least, that's what I thought."

Psyker"But I'm tired of living other people's stories. I want to tell my own. I don't know when or how mine will come to an end, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that somebody someday tells at least one decent story about Idira Tlass. And I can't think of a better way to do that than by standing shoulder to shoulder with you, [Name]."

YOU"One story? Don't sell yourself short. You and I have already had enough adventures to fill a tome!"

Psyker"Then what are we waiting for? Get a scribe in here, we need to get all this down before we forget! But we have to make me more heroic and powerful so that I come out looking the best next to your other companions. What do you reckon — how many wastrels have we slaughtered? A million?

PsykerIdira barks out a laugh. "I'm offended, Lord Captain! Your safety is my only concern. If the spawn of Chaos ever start crawling out of my nostrils, I promise to throw myself to the enemy hordes with your name on my lips. You just make sure that in the retelling you add whatever embellishment you need to make my heroic feat sound even more epic!"

PsykerIdira looks at you with derision. "You could ask yourself that question, eh, Lord Captain?"

Psyker"Every psyker feels their connection with the warp in their own way. One person might see spots and shadows out of the corner of their eye. Another feels fingers running down their spine. As for me, I've got a door in my head, one that's open just a crack. There's no way to close it, no matter how hard I try — I've just had to get used to the whispers from the other side. When I need to use it for work, I listen in more closely, but I usually just try not to notice it."

YOU"How do you live with this... 'whispering' in your head?"

Psyker"Training. Habit. And a little amasec and a couple other things you can get on the lower decks. If you put all those together, it makes things bearable." Idira shrugs and chuckles. "Sometimes I even wonder if I'm imagining half the voices I hear. You know, when life on board gets a little boring. Better than listening to the living, anyhow."

YOU"How do you live with this... 'whispering' in your head?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What would happen if your 'door' burst open?"

PsykerIdira tries to smile, but fear darts across her face. "The thing is... the less I think about it, the less chance someone from the other side has to sense my fear. Let's not talk about it."

YOU"How do you live with this... 'whispering' in your head?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"What would happen if your 'door' burst open?"continues where this line first appears above

YOU"Aren't you afraid of losing control?"

PsykerIdira's eyes focus on you again. Her smile fades and her expression softens. "You know... what happened to me... well, you remember... I thought I'd go crazy with fear. But now that I know you've got my back, it's like that cursed whispering in my head has grown quieter. It's easier not to think about the worst that could happen."

YOU"Can you see my future?"

PsykerIdira wrinkles her nose and looks around. Then she wipes her hands, gives her head a shake, and finally nods. "All right. That's what I'm here for, after all. So, I'm just going to... lean on that door in my head a little more, prick up my ears, and listen to what the warp's got to say about you." Idira grins like she's already heard some salacious detail. "If you'll allow it, I can listen right now?"

YOU"Sure!"

YOU"Let's leave it for another time."

Psyker"Sure, no problem... I'll be here whenever you need me."

If you don't know the limits of your abilities or you're always bouncing around in your own head, that's a recipe for disaster."

Psyker(sequence)

Psyker"But here on the ship is a different story altogether... I saw more wonders in my first year serving Lady von Valancius than I'd seen in my whole life on Leira. Like my first journey through the warp — I was in bed for three days, I felt like supernovas were exploding in my head! I only found out later that I'd gotten off easy — just through the bulkhead, in the bay next to mine, a whole team turned into—" Idira breaks off. "Look at me, rambling on, Lord Captain. Pay no attention."
