Cassia"Lord Captain, I hasten to report the disturbing news brought to me by the machine spirits of the ship. The matter is extremely delicate and concerns Lady Cassia. You see, since her first day aboard, her presence has been a disturbance to the crew's way of life. If you'll allow, I have prepared a detailed report."
YOU"Deliver your report."
Cassia"The first incident occurred immediately after our departure from Eurac V: the Lady Navigator chastised one of the ship's runners, after which he went to his living quarters, killed his family, and then shot himself. The second incident was noted while traversing the warp: the Lady Navigator gave the pilots the wrong instructions and the voidship was thrown off course — for a matter of minutes, but this was enough for the forces of the Immaterium to anger the machine spirits enough for them to start a fire in the service bay."
Cassia"After that, officers living near the Lady Navigator's quarters began to express extreme emotions — hysteria, apathy, euphoria, rage. This is quite detrimental to crew morale and performance. The last incident was recorded on Footfall. Around a hundred living birds were delivered on board during our stay on Footfall. Each bird cost a hefty sum, but I have failed to discover their purpose and subsequent fate."

Cassia"I was also told about a conflict between the Lady Navigator and the Seneschal. Alas, with no details. If you like, you can ask Master Werserian directly."

Cassia"Things are even worse with Jae Heydari — I intercepted a vox-cast in which she promised she would, and I quote, 'end that kaskha' if she ever saw her again."

Cassia"If I may, Lord Captain — the Lady Navigator's state of mind worries me. She is self-contained and does not mesh with the crew at all, which is why everyone avoids her — even senior officers can be superstitious. I fear that only you are in a position to talk to her on an equal footing and improve the situation. For the sake of the crew's safety — and that of Lady Cassia herself."

YOU"Cassia is an honoured guest on this voidship, and the voidsmen must come to terms with all her oddities and caprices. And for those who cannot — lashes to every one of them!"
Cassia"As the Lord Captain sees fit." Vigdis is silent for a while, but the crackle of the vox reveals she is still connected: "Concerning the report..."
YOU"Deliver your report."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Measures to pacify the crew have been taken, and I have no intention of troubling the Lady Navigator with this matter. That will be all."
Cassia"Of course, Lord Captain. I deeply apologise for the inconvenience."
end of branch
YOU"I am not interested in the problems of the Lady Navigator. If that is all, we are done here."
Cassia"Of course, Lord Captain. I will tell the officers not to respond to such reports again."
