Deck Enforcer"Lord Captain! God-Emperor be with you... and with all of us too." The enforcer can barely suppress the tremors running throughout his body. "Only you can deal with this... this spawn!"
Deck Enforcer"Permission to report, Your Lordship/Ladyship! It started a few watches after the translation. Well, actually, they say this... associate of yours had been acting strangely even before that. It's as if he started hearing things: he was swivelling back and forth, barking something in his xenos tongue, then he grabbed his blade and sliced his hand open — his own hand! Then he suddenly howled and lunged at the people nearby."
YOU[Point at the Daemonette] "Can you see her?"
Deck EnforcerThe officer looks behind him, glances around the deck, then turns to you with an alarmed expression. "See w-who, Your Lordship/Ladyship?"

YOU"Where is Marazhai now?"
Deck Enforcer"Who? Oh, the xenos! He's holed up in there." He nods at the barricaded gate. "He corralled a number of crewmen in there like groxes to a slaughterhouse, all we could hear were screams... Well, we couldn't save them, so we locked him in there so he couldn't crawl back out. Unless he finds a crack to squeeze through..."

YOU"Who were the victims of this massacre?"
Deck Enforcer"Anyone he could get his hands on, Your Lordship/Ladyship... Officers, serfs... a technomat... He even attacked a servitor, although that didn't last long, he just tore its head off. The rest of them, though... the xenos scum tortured the life out of them." You can see the colour draining from the officer's face.

YOU"I have heard enough. I am heading inside."
Deck Enforcer"We'll unblock it right quick, Your Lordship/Ladyship... If only there was a way to flush that fiend out without going in..." He stops and pales even more. "Throne's mercy... I completely forgot... The late technomat, he... well, he turned on some security systems right before he bled out... We figured, if the xenos thinks about showing his face, those systems will get him..."
Deck Enforcer"The point is, we should go with Your Lordship/Ladyship, with your permission. It just wouldn't be right for the Lord Captain to go in there alone. God-Emperor help us all..." The officer tries his best to speak calmly, but his voice is quivering. The thought of going inside the compartment that has become a death trap fills him with dread bordering on panic.

Abelard"The prospect of having a rabid xenos crawling inside our bulkheads makes my heart sink... No, we ought to drag him out, then we either put him on a chain or — forgive my bluntness, Lord Captain — we swat him down and forget that he ever existed."

Heinrix"I cannot see anyone, [Name]... but I can certainly sense a warp presence nearby. You're saying you can perceive it? Then the entity itself has decided to reveal its form to you. The real question is... why?"

Idira"I can't see anyone, Lord Captain, but I sure can hear her just fine." Idira's voice is trembling slightly. She is looking at her feet and does not raise her head. "Must have come for your xenos. Personally. Maybe we shouldn't get in her way? Please?"

Solomorne"Glaito hasn't spotted anyone yet, but I can see his hair is bristling. I don't know what's going on, but we are prepared to attack even an invisible target — just relay its position to us."

Yrliet"The voice of She Who Thirsts." Yrliet turns pale. "He heard the call. Any of our kind who find themselves beyond the veil become tempting prey for Sai'lanthresh... and your technology that protects the ship from her baleful influence cannot drown out the sound of her maddening voice."
