IdiraIdira stills for a moment, and then she pleads in a piteous, almost childlike voice, "Lord Captain... Help me..."
Idira"Damn it!" "Theodora" shoves the psyker away with a low snarl. The Rogue Trader's body begins to change, losing its human shape. "Chaos will devour you! It will devour everyone responsible for my death! Die! Die for the delectation of my lord!"

Idira"Oh, that would have been a real gift to our little Idira... Except her life belongs to me, not you!"
Idira"Theodora's" hands swell before your eyes, a dull liquid pulsating under the skin. A moment later, it streaks toward her fingers, which are driven deep under Idira's scalp. Idira convulses and shrieks in agony. A sound wave hits you in the face, leaving behind the tang of blood and the smell of decaying flesh.

Idira"Lord Captain?" Idira turns her head to you, but her demented gaze only rests briefly on your face before sliding away. Up close you can see that the base of one of Idira's temple implants has blackened and melted. "No... Wait... Lord Captain... Lady von Valancius!" Idira raises her eyes to "Theodora," who stands before her. Tears stream down Idira's cheeks. "You... you came back..."
Idira"Theodora" clucks her tongue in sympathy, reaching out to tenderly stroke Idira's hair. "Poor little Idira... There, there... How could I not come? You were crying for me so desperately, your pleas carried to the very depths of the warp itself..."
IdiraThe smile suddenly drops from her mutilated face. "Why didn't you save me? Why didn't you warn me? Answer me, you insignificant wretch, or I'll drag the answer out of you myself!" "Theodora's" fingers dig into Idira's scalp, meeting no resistance.
IdiraIdira lets out a soul-chilling howl and tries to grab the hand tearing into her, but her fingers pass through the monster's flesh. "I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear anything that could have had anything to do with you... I'm sorry, Lord Captain, I failed... Aaaah!" Idira breaks into a strangled scream and you feel the air around you grow rapidly colder.
YOU[Attack "Theodora"] "Let her go, scum!"
IdiraYour blow passes through the illusion. "Theodora" does not react to your shout, but continues to deliberately force her fingers under the psyker's skin. Black rivulets of blood seep from the wounds, streaking down Idira's contorted, shrieking face.

YOU"Idira, snap out of it. For Vigdis. She is going out of her mind with worry about you."
IdiraIdira shudders and goes limp. Then she blinks, disoriented, and looks at you. "L-Lord Captain..."

YOU"Idira! Snap out of it, or I'll shoot you myself!"
YOU"Idira! I am your captain, not her! Listen to me and snap out of it!"
YOU[Kill Idira]
IdiraIdira's body slides from "Theodora's" claws and sags to the floor. Piercing and shrill laughter suddenly fills the air.
IdiraThe figure of the cackling Theodora von Valancius shudders and begins to change form. "At last you begin to understand how important it is to promptly dispose of trash! But you've learned your lesson too late. Too late."

ArgentaArgenta wordlessly swings her weapon up and aims it at Idira, who is struggling in the monster's hold. The Sister of Battle looks at her without an ounce of doubt or mercy.
YOU[Let Argenta act]
IdiraOne second — and Idira's body sags to the floor. At the same moment, you hear a terrifying sound — shrill and piercing laughter.

Abelard"Emperor grant her—" Abelard stops short, staring at the body unblinkingly for a few seconds, before turning away.

ArgentaArgenta wrinkles her nose at your shouted command and lowers the weapon by a few centimetres — but she does not put it away.
