Sergeant En looked down at the floor, clutching his head in his hands and breathing hard.  He looked back up with a certain amount of clarity.  "Some Rogue Trader had piloted himself into the screaming vortex, and sent out a distress signal.  The dynasty pulled strings with my regiment, and had us sent in after him to rescue his ship or confirm his death.  We ended up on a daemonworld where the laws of reality were just playthings for the entities there, and we fought like beasts against the hordes of the abyss."  The sergeant said, as his troops nodded, some of them looking down as the painful memories came flooding back.  "Another company found the Rogue Trader, and he took command of the operation.  He ordered an immediate withdrawal, and we didn't make it to the return line in time.  We were trapped on a daemonworld in the warp for an indefinite period."  Sergeant En reported, a strange lack of venom in his voice.<br/><br/>"So I made a deal with one of the horrors that lurked in the shadows.  I sold my soul so that my platoon would survive.  For the sake of their lives I have become something...  unwholesome."  Sergeant En said, speaking with an unusual amount of clarity.  "Make no mistake, I am damned, and the Emperor's light will never again shine on me.  When I am dead, which will happen soon, the only thing waiting for me will be oblivion.  I have given myself to be devoured by the ruinous powers, and my only regret is that I didn't get to be a father to my daughter, and that my soul will fuel their war machine."  The sergeant said, smiling as he confessed his mortal sins.  "Now that we are back in the true universe, my pacts will be coming due soon.  I will go out in a blaze of glory, whether I wish to or not.  I would rather do it alone, in the presence of the fiends and heretics that I have joined the ranks of, than in front of untainted souls who will spread the evil of the warp."  He said, begging Cortez to be permitted to martyr himself, rather than have to live long enough to become an enemy of the Imperium.
