AnnisThe Vox Master's puzzled voice distracts you from your duties. "My apologies, Lord Captain, but I have just been delivered an urgent report. Cargo Bay 73-G has received some unusual... cargo, if one can call it that. The crew considered disposing of it, but did not dare to do so without your direct order."
Annis"The cargo itself is weaponry — intricate blades made of bones and living flesh. Those weapons... they keep repeating your name, Lord Captain, and claim in their moans that you saved them from Commorragh. Next to them, the crew found a strange horned mask of xenos origin."
Annis"What are your orders, Your Lordship/Ladyship?"
YOU"Was there a xenos in flashy clothes speaking in rhymes, by any chance?"
AnnisVigdis falls quiet for a moment, either processing what she just heard or making enquiries through other vox-channels. Eventually, the vox comes to life again. "No, Your Lordship/Ladyship, and I doubt that such a conspicuous character could have slipped by unnoticed. I will inform you if the crew reports seeing anyone like that."

YOU"Store the weapons into crates, seal them, and hide out of sight. There is demand even for such goods."
Annis"I will see to it, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I dare not disturb you any longer."

YOU"Process the bodies into corpse starch. We could always use more provisions."

YOU"Provide them with cabins and put them to work. They are part of the crew from now on."

YOU"That damned xenos deceived me. Throw this 'cargo' out of an airlock."
Annis"I will see to it, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I dare not disturb you any longer."
end of branch
YOU"Out the airlock with the lot of them. We have no use for unwanted passengers."

Annis"The cargo itself is a pile of corpses. None of the people were on the crew manifest. Judging by the injuries, they were killed instantly and painlessly, before somehow being delivered to the ship. Next to them, the crew found a strange horned mask of xenos origin."
Annis"What are your orders, Your Lordship/Ladyship?"continues where this line first appears above
Annis"I suppose 'cargo' is not quite the correct term. It is a crowd of people in worn military uniforms of the Imperium. They insist that you are their commander who saved them from Commorragh. If their account is to be believed, some masked xenos who spoke in riddles somehow managed to transport them on board."

Annis"They are led by an Imperial Guard Commissar by the name of Iako Sotniy, a rather spirited man with a booming voice. He claims to have played a key part in your escape from Commorragh and that he is ready to serve faithfully in the name of the Imperium."

Annis"There is one notable figure among them — a certain Sergeant Vigastes, a severely injured man armed with a worn lasgun. He has asked to send you his gratitude for saving him from the Dark City and declared his willingness to serve under your command."

Annis"I suppose 'cargo' is not quite the correct term. It is a disorderly crowd of heavily scarred people demanding to see you. They call themselves 'Shriekers' and consider you their leader who initiated them into the Imperial Creed and saved them from Commorragh.
