Entry point 3 of 3
NPC"Lord Cap'n, the ne'er-do-wells from the augur crew are reporting we've reached the Nolla Septum System where a promethium-refining hive, Santiel's Pride, is loca— Bend my mother over the Golden Throne!" The transmission ends abruptly and resumes with a loud click several moments later. "Emperor preserve us, Lord Cap'n, the entire system's darker than the inside of a grox's arse! The local star, it's... it's not there!"
NPC(sequence)
NPC"Stars do not vanish from the sky without a reason — the same villains may be at work here as in the Rykad System... Lord Captain, Santiel's Pride is an object of strategic importance to the Chorda dynasty. It alone covers the promethium needs of their entire protectorate. It is not difficult to figure out what happened — the damned xenos had their work cut out for them, but, by the Throne, they succeeded! This does not mean we can leave the important strategic assets for them to plunder. I suggest we do House Chorda a favour and salvage the remains of their promethium."

NPC"Another system is missing its star?" You hear a quiver of outrage in Heinrix's voice, followed by a deep exhale. "We need to see if there are xenos on that frozen world and, should our suspicions be confirmed, exterminate them. If you disagree, let me remind you that the protectorate of one of the Rogue Traders of the Koronus Expanse has lost several billions of its subjects. Can you be certain that the same won't happen to Dargonus? Or another of your worlds?"
end of branch
NPC"Forgive me, shereen, but I refuse to believe that among the billions of Chorda's subjects, there wasn't at least a handful of desperate souls still trusting in the Exalted One's providence, clinging to life. Who will become their salvation if not you?"
end of branch
NPC"Spare yourself the trouble of hoping that there is anyone left to save down on that doomed little planet. All the mon-keigh were either taken to Commorragh or disembowelled on the spot." Marazhai's voice trembles with sudden excitement. "However, the lackeys of the pathetic Archon who sent their Kabal here... Who could it be, I wonder... Oh, I eagerly await a chance to meet them personally."
end of branch
NPC"Thank you for your comprehensive report, Ravor." Vigdis takes over the channel, her vexation showing only in the force with which she clicks her vox. "Apologies, Lord Captain. As the esteemed Master Helmsman just stated, the augur crew is troubled by the anomalous absence of a star at the heart of the system. As for the hive world... I'm afraid it is forever lost to the Imperium, as are the lives of billions of its children."
