				(http://animeonly.org/albums/FEDOROS_RULES/3D-FANTASY-ARTv5/Illustrations/Sparth/Illustration/corrino-final-a-small.jpg)<br><br>Shaddam’s throne room, the seat of Imperial power on the planet, it is both opulent and functional. The walls are covered with jewels, trophies, banners proclaiming the Doctorai family legacy, as well as the glory of Miranda IV. His throne is placed in the center of the large room, raised above all other areas so that the average man’s waist is at the same height as his feet. The floor from the waist down is shrouded in a layer of mist. To the right of Shaddam’s throne there are several strategic planning tables, constantly covered with information about the planet’s status, each one representing a different hive city.

				The doors to the Throne room Slides open and a tall figure cloaked in a cape and hood walks in unannounced. His face can't be seen in the shadows of the hood except for one red glowing eye. He strides up till he's 50 paces from the throne and stops. "Govorner Shaddam I presume." the voice is low and seems to roll throught the room.

				Shaddam was seated on his throne when the man walked in, he’d been contemplating the news that an inquisitor would be arriving, and how best to deal with him. As the man walked in he tried to figure out who he was, his mind going over the possibilities as quickly as he could. The man had made it into the throne room, unannounced, and unopposed he had to have power…more power than Shaddam himself, therefore he was an agent of the Emperor, “You presume correctly Inquisitor” he said calmly “I trust your trip to Miranda IV was without problem?”

				The man pushes back his hood. "It was fine. nothing I couldn't handel.* He replies striding closer to the throne. "Please fill me in on any situations that may have happened in the months while I was traveling in warp."

				Shaddam frowned for a moment, searching his memory for anything that might have been worth mentioning. “We have had a few minor industrial accidents” he said, “though we are currently investigating some of them to see if there is more behind them.” He kept his voice level and calm “In addition to this there has been a slight drop in the levels of street preachers, and other non-mandatory worshiping of The Emperor in the lower hive levels, but this is something that has happened before and tends to flow in cycles, we are currently in the downward portion of the cycle so it isn’t anything to raise suspicion at yet.”&nbsp; &nbsp;It was obvious by both Shaddam's words and his tone that he was doing his best to be guarded, and not give away information needlessly, lest he lose any influence in the political maneuvering that was sure to come.

				The adept had chosen to remain nondescript as he walked in with his master.&nbsp; He had learned that it was best to let the Inquisitor swing his weight around in the presence of such high officials.&nbsp; That was fine with him.&nbsp; It gave him time to analyze their speech and body language while deciding on the next course of action.&nbsp; His analysis quickly arrived at the conclusion that Governor Shaddam was acting the way most nobles do when the eye of the God-Emperor is upon them: guarded yet utterly clueless.&nbsp; Far too many Imperial Planetary Governors were pompous and corrupt windbags, looking to exploit their position rather than do any real work.&nbsp; This one did not appear to be any different.&nbsp; <br><br>"My Lord, I will begin investigating the truth of his statements.&nbsp; You need only give the order to have him open his records to me," Theophilus whispered to Whitefire.&nbsp; <br><br><br>

				Shaddam’s eyes narrowed as he watched the adept speak to his master, choosing not to interrupt he simply read the man’s lips, a skill that years of palace subterfuge had taught him. Once the adept was finished he stood, up moving at his own pace he descended the stairs and nodded towards the situation tables. “If it will help any I will show you our situation reports” he told the inquisitor. “We use a table for each hive on Miranda IV, and anything out of the ordinary is logged and examined, the display tables contain everything from hourly production rates to PDF distribution”<br><br>As he said this he waved his hand towards the tables.

				The Inquisitor look back at the govoner. "Not only that but you will give my man full access to all of your files by order of the Imperial Inquisition. Is that clear?" He asks, but it was less of a question and more of an order. He didn't use his will on the man, but he would if he had to.

				“Crystal” Shaddam said, keeping his poise, the Inquisitor was flexing his muscle, no matter, he had muscle of his own, and when the time came he would use it. “Now if you please” he said calmly “We have done our best to prepare a true situation report for you over at the tables, I don’t presume to tell you how to do your job, but I guarantee you that the information we have is the most up to date and accurate on the planet.” <br><br>Shaddam then walked over towards the tables, whether the Inquisitor joined him or not he needed to review the material, in truth patterns and discrepancies had already been spotted several months earlier and Shaddam had been in the process of righting everything when the Inquisition informed him of the Inquisitor’s impending arrival, all information to implicate that the events had not been reported as soon as possible had been destroyed down to letter, many books, records, computers, and adepts had to be liquidated but there was no way to recovery an incriminating information. Because all of it no longer existed, even so Shaddam needed to review the information on the tables in order to plan his next moves.&nbsp; <br>

				Octavian took note of the entire situation as he appeared to be going over reports on the tables before him. As the PDF Commander, he knew what they all said already though. He had personally written or submitted many of the reports after all. The events that were taking place may have seemed trivial and nothing to worry about at first, but that is how Chaos liked to work. Within the shadows...almost not there at first, and then, before you knew it, you had a full scale rebellion and the need to viral bomb the planet into a death world came into play. He had seen it happen before, and he wasn't about to allow it to happen again. That is why he sent the encoded message to his Inquisition contacts a month ago requesting them to investigate the situation, but to keep his involvement still secret as to not betray the Planetary Governor's trust in him. <br><br>Over the years, Octavian had grown to grudgingly enjoy his status as the PDF Commander of Miranda IV. His body sure thanked him for the less punishing years that is for sure, though he still did long to be out and bringing the fight to Chaos. It seems he was correct in his assumption though...Chaos is everywhere. Even Miranda IV. Shaddam didn't wish to see the real threat that was facing his planet and assumed that he could take care of it on his own, but his efforts had been futile so far. Octavian gave him a bit of time out of loyalty and not wishing to cause too much havoc amongst the citizens of Miranda IV, but there was only so much he was willing to give. Shaddam was a good man as far as politicians go, shrewd and cunning as the rest of them, but still fair in Octavian's mind. Most of all though, he was aware of his Duty to the Throne. As Shaddam approached, he bowed his head and stepped to the side, continuing to 'read' a data slate, pausing for a moment only to glance at the Inquisitor before taking out his flask and having a swig. He had made it perfectly clear to Shaddam before the arrival of the Inquisition that he would have no part in lying to them, so that it would be best if he relayed the reports himself. He would not betray the attempts that Shaddam had made to keep the situation in-house, instead remaining tight-lipped about it. The man had earned his respect enough to deserve that and he understood the reasoning behind it, but he would only go so far before he saw his actions as being counter to the Emperor's Will.

				A large figure, even larger than the Inquisitor that stood before him, in black and white power armor stood back a bit from the rest of the party, taking note of the situation around the room. *Armed guards, likely standard issue Guard gear. I could kill them before they even moved if my lord commanded it. But as long as the Inquisitor is safe, they can live.* He thought to himself, his face invisible behind his helmet. He rand the palm of one of his gauntlets along the spurs running along his arms. Sharpened and coated in metal, he wouldn't even need to draw a weapon.<br><br>He listened in has his lord the the Governor spoke. Even at this distance. Alexander could hear everything going on. "My lord. I have dealt with scum like this before. Chaos rarely pops up in force this fast. They corrupt, infest, and then they erupt, like a boil on the planet. Just give the word and my spines will be coated in the blood of our foe."

				The Inquisitor nods. "Good." His gaze flikers over to his adept. "Rourke, you may proceed." So far he had been ignoring the commander but now he strides over to the man. "Commander, what can you tell me in your words has been happening here?" He had already heard the govenor speak, but the more people you talked to, the more likely you were to pickup minor changes in stories, and with that you could find out who was honest, and who was lying and needed to be investigated further. When the big marine speaks he looks back at him and offer a wry smile. "Soon Brother Prescott.... Soon. Chaos is also unpredictable and we have seen changes from their usual tactics before."

				Octavian looked up, unlike others though, he was not afraid to meet the Inquisitor's eyes. Last thing he needed was his loyalty being questioned. He was as loyal and devout to the Throne as anyone could ask and he had no reason to hide or fear. He had long since forgotten what fear was like. <br><br>"What the Governor speaks is the truth...though I must admit that I have raised my suspicions of there being more to this then just a few 'minor' accidents. They appear to be more patterned then to just be random as well. Some of my pyskers have reported feeling an increase of warp activities in the area as well...a stronger presence if you will. With the decrease in the amount of street preachers, I believe it to be the work of a cult. As I am sure that you know, my previous work has put me in a position which I have seen the signs of cult infestation and I informed the Governor of my suspicions. He has been investigating the matter to the best of his abilities and has been trying to root out the cause, but as of yet there have been no leads to suggest who...or what, is behind the incidents," Octavian rattled off to the Inquisitor, as if reading a report. He didn't wish to cause tension or suspicion with Governor Doctoari though and decided that it was best for him to explain what he thought Shaddam's motives were for not speaking out earlier. "I believe he did not wish to make a mistake in asking for assistance too soon from the Inquisition, especially not until the threat was deemed worthy of the Inquisitorial eye. He did what he was able to the best of his abilities and should not be faulted for being optimistic about the incidents being the work of some locals upset with their wages."

				Shaddam listed to the Inquisitor and Octavian speak, Octavian was obviously doing his best to skirt the line between his loyalty to the Inquisition and his loyalty to Shaddam and Miranda IV itself, it was equally obvious that very soon the man would be forced to pick a side. Shaddam had chosen not to voice this conclusion, but he feared the time for it may be soon approaching. He waited for Octavian to finish his brief, his eyes running over the table spotting out the different incidents that had caught his eye.<br><br><br>Octavian thought that Shaddam hadn’t noticed it as quickly as he had, which was alright. He would accept his position as a lower power….for now. He would plan, and when the time came he would make his move, and save Miranda IV if it was the last thing he did before death. None of these men were Mirandan, none of them would share his love for his home...possibly Octavian, but that could not be know for sure just yet.<br>

				Alaxender Nodded over to his Lord, slowly removing his helmet so that his eyes could get a better view of the guards surround them. "Very well my Lord." He tucked his helmet under his arm, his storm gray eyes scanning around the room and to the rest of the group. His free hand hovered over the handle of his bold pistol. Chaos wasn't a new foe to him, but this didn't sit well with him. What did this planed hold that would cause something like this?

				"As you will, Inquistor," Rourke bowed slightly and began his work.&nbsp; He set to work at once.&nbsp; He pulled out his auto-quill and set it to his tome.&nbsp; He went to each table and read the information he saw, muttering under his breath as the auto-quill scratched into the tome.&nbsp; He walked from one table to another, often doubling back to the a table he had been at before and reading over the same information.&nbsp; <br><br>He was able to overhear the conversation between Whitefire and Octavian and walked over.&nbsp; "General Octavian's suspicions are very astute, Inquisitor.&nbsp; Although there is still much work to be done, I can say with certainty that we have the beginnings of a cult uprising here.&nbsp; However, this is just one part of the picture." He pointed to one of the Servitors at the data table and ordered, "Bring up a full halo schematic of the hive." <br><br>"As you will," it droned in a metallic monotone.&nbsp; <br><br>As the diagram came up, he took up a pointer and began to use it to highlight trouble points.&nbsp; <br><br>"The first few deaths were here, here, and here.&nbsp; Linked? Maybe, maybe not.&nbsp; However, here is where it gets interesting.&nbsp; Within 4 standard Terran months, manufactories were attacked here, here, here, and here.&nbsp; Murders of the priests and sisters started jumping in frequency at the same time and started appearing here and here.&nbsp; AND in that same period of time, massive power and communication failure began...here, here, here, here, here, and here.&nbsp; Hives are ancient structures, but the odds of all of these breakdowns happening at the same time are astronomical.&nbsp; The Priests of Mars were perceptive enough to place redundant systems in every hive.&nbsp; These all in turn caused the riot situations here, here and here that has already drawn heavily on the Adeptus Arbites stationed in the underhive.&nbsp; The God-Emperor once said that there is no such thing as coincidence.&nbsp; There is a malign intelligence pulling strings in the underhive,&nbsp; trying to destroy Imperial power on this planet by rotting the foundation of power both figuratively and literally."&nbsp; <br><br>"This foe is very skilled in the arts of guerrilla warfare.&nbsp; He has been hitting targets meant to cut down on the Emperor's reach as well as agitate the people.&nbsp; It is my theory that he will soon move on to bigger targets.&nbsp; General, can you show me where the PDF and Arbite strongholds are and in what strength? I also need to know which outposts have been responding to the riots."

				The adept had made the correct conclusion, it had taken Shaddam a few hours of over viewing information to come to the same conclusion, in response to this he had begun to slowly, and quietly build up the PDF’s strength, extending tours of service, pushing back leave and retirement ceremonies, increasing recruitment quotas. He had been amassing a force to eventually sweep out the under hive, but it was nowhere near complete, not even Octavian knew of his plan…yet…

				"Very astute in your observations as well Adept. Seems there are a few points that even I missed. Possibly that ork's fist messed me up more then I had originally thought," Octavian said rubbing his fingers against the right side of his face where the flesh was still misshapen from a 'lucky blow' that an ork had landed on him. "We don't have a large force due to the nature of our industrial production, but you can rest assured they are one of the best damn forces you will ever encounter. Each of the main hives have their own local hive force, with the more populated areas having barracks where the PDF are housed and trained here, here, here," Octavian said as he pointed out the major PDF locations on a holo-map of the planet located on a central holo-table. "From there, we have various Adeptus Arbites locations as well, though those are mostly maintained by Judge Parlow who is off-world on official Administratum business. I can give you the comm channels to contact him further if need be."<br><br>Octavian let a bit of satisfaction creep into his mind as he felt his suspicions were vindicated and that his call to the Inquisition had not been unfounded. He only wished that he had acted sooner if this were indeed a Chaos cult in their midst, the very thought of letting one arise on his planet, under his watch making him sick. He prayed to the God-Emperor that the Governor would work with Inquisitor Wildfire and not cause complications in the Inquisitions work. His loyalties laid first with the Imperium of Man, but that didn't mean he wouldn't feel regret in having to go against Shaddam's will.

				Brother Prescott looked over the data with everyone else. Noting something he stepped forward. "What about this one?" He pointed out a seemingly random murder scene. "All the reports we have show the others are standard Chaos killings, the style, the scene, and even the way the victim was killed, but this. This one seems different. It's still in the same region, well within the bounds of the kill zone, but all reports show it was a more feral killing. Whomever we are dealing with wouldn't allow a random killing like this, not to jeopardize their plan, unless whomever did this is working for our foe."

				"Thank you, General.&nbsp; At our superiors' discretion, we should put them on standby.&nbsp; Also, it would be wise to bring Judge Parlow back as quickly as possible .......What was that, Brother Prescott? Hmmm..." He looked at the illustration of the murder scenes.&nbsp; "Thank you, Prescott," he said as he resumed his train of thought. " <br><br>"Brother Prescott is correct.&nbsp; These murders fall within the same time frame and yet they do not fit the 'modus operandi' of our foe.&nbsp; The only logical conclusion is that this is a mercenary or an ally of convenience.&nbsp; Judging by the sheer blunt trauma inflicted, this one clearly prefers brute force over subtlety.&nbsp; But perhaps the mastermind is using that simple nature to his advantage, perhaps as a way to take attention away from him while inflicting maximum damage.&nbsp; We will need to investigate this too, lest we be attacked from an unexpected angle."<br><br>"Inquisitor, Governor, General, it is my recommendation we mobilize Arbite and PDF patrols into the Underhive, particularly here.&nbsp; Due to the time line, there is a significant chance that our cult leader or perhaps his brutish associate is still somewhere in the Underhive.&nbsp; I also high recommend we declare a planetwide state of martial law until further notice.&nbsp; At the very least, we will force our foe to change his plans."

				The Inquisitor nods. "Yes that would seem to be the best idea, however... We may not want to alert the forces of chaos that we are here just yet. Anyways I think we should head to our quarters and settle in then maybe go and explore the hive ourselves later. What time to most of the disapearances and killings occure?" He asks.

				<br>“The majority take place at night, roughly around the midnight hour right on the shift changes, they take men and women who are getting off shift so that they are not missed until noon when they are to report for their next shift.” Shaddam says, “Will you be staying in the palace? If so we have rooms prepared.” He did not expect the Inquisitor would decide to remain in the palace if for no other reason that the man wasn’t a fool and would most likely not want Shaddam’s eyes on him…but one could hope! <br>

				Brother Prescott nodded as he walked started tword the door. "Brutish, feral, blunt. Not enough to deturmine what species this ally might be. I have heard stories of trators that are so far gone in their bloodlust that they lose all reason." He nodded over to his Lord Inquisitor. "Aye, my lord. " He turned back to the adept. "If you would kindly brother, I would like all the pictured of the murder scenes. I would like to know as much about our foe as we can before we engage him." Alexander was a brillant tactictian, especially in the ways of battle. He rarly left the side of his lord, due to his impressive size stealth wasn't his best skill.

His scanner picked up a few bugs here and there, and he silently pointed them out to Theo. "Looks like you were right lord, they wanted to spy on us." He subvocalized into the vox in his helmet. "The governor isn't one to trust outsiders it seems, but I don't think he realizes the scope of what we're dealing with. It wouldn't supprize me if this has been happening for a while."

We have some indications but nothing exact. Most likely, they would base their operations in the Underhive where they can more easily move about undetected and draw more to their dark ways without alerting too much to the local Imperial presence. Being undermanned as is, we don't have much of a presence in the Underhive with the Adeptus Arbites or many PDF forces. Much is left up to local hive gangers to maintain some sort of order really. As long as they don't overstep their bounds we have left them alone for the most part. I have some agents looking in to see if they could be behind this, but so far reports indicate they are not. Indeed, quite the opposite, they seem to be at a loss to try and stop it and are afraid we shall place blame on them," Octavian reported to Shaddam. He was growing increasingly frustrated with the fact that he couldn't get a lock on what was behind all this. He knew that Exterminatus was not in danger of being called for a while...or so he hoped. He had no real clue how deep the cult had its tentacles. Despite the common man's fears, Inquisitors were not so easy to call such a drastic measure unless it was the only option to eliminate a deep-seeded corruption. Despite what Shaddam may have thought though, if it was called, it was unlikely that any of them would make it off the planet alive.&nbsp;

				Alexander left to remove his armor. It was a tedious process, but he had to remove and bless the armor in the right order, otherwise it's protection would lack the next time he needed it. "Bless your servant, oh great Emperor of Mankind." He knelt before the rack holding his armor, chanting the prayers to the spirits of the brothers that wore it before him.<br><br>Looking into a near by mirror, he noticed the numerous scars across his body. He had survived many battled, with many horrors across the universe, but something about the fallen brethren always worried him. These were once his brothers, fellow servants. Now they were nothing more than scum. He turned back, returning to the main room in combat fatigues that barley fit his frame, grabbing a few weapons that would be appropriate to a bodyguard.

				Shaddam pauses as a small light enters his eyes, an idea having obviously struck him “You have agents in the underhive” he says slowly more to himself than anything else after a second’s contemplation he grins a bit “I want you to dispatch one of your agents to bring a message to the leaders of the different hive gangs.” He pauses considering how to word what will come next, “tell them that we realize they are not the culprits here, and that we hope they realize it is something of dire importance that we find whoever is. With that in mind any gang that is found to be aiding us in our quest to hamper, hinder, and stop these cults will find itself….less likely to catch the eye of law enforcement in the future.” Shaddam grins a bit as he continues “it’s a long shot, and I sincerely doubt they will really stop anyone of importance….but….it will give our enemies less places to hide, and at the very least it will provide us with a bit more time to prepare our own forces….Now tell me, what was your read on The Inquisitor?”

He still posed an impressive figure, and had it not been the for the bone spurs jutting out of his forearms and forehead, he could almost pass as human, although a very large one. He still wore the silver stud right above his right eye, and the dragon tattoo that coiled around his neck was clearly visible. Numerous scars covered his body, but he paid them no mind.

				The ship exited warp space at the closest possible point in space to Miranda IV. Kneeling inside a cabin was a man wearing dark robes, bent over an altar to the Emperor. His body was bent so far his head was nearly to the floor as he would slowly rock up and down some, clearly in a deep prayer. A chime buzzed and broke the murmurings that had been softly coming from his mouth. Several moments passed as he continued in prayer and the chime buzzed again for a second time.<br><br>Slowly stopping his prayers the man stood up, wiping the perspiration from his face, "Enter". A grizzled rough looking man stood at the door patiently waiting, "Sir, we just exited warp space and will be landing on Miranda IV in 40 minutes. As you requested, we are broadcasting as the Rogue Trader Spicevial only." The robed man nodded, "Good, thank you Roark. Let Helena know as well as the Twins, get everyone set. We debark in 41 minutes." Roark nodded, "Will do boss."<br><br><br>Exactly thirty-nine minutes and 48 seconds later, the Rogue Trader Spicevial landed on Miranda IV at the Capital Spaceport in an enclosed landing bay. Nine seconds after landing, the primary landing gantry opened and two females slowly stepped out. Both were wearing full black form fitting armor, they quickly appraised the landing bay and finding it empty motioned behind them. A large man wearing a pristine suit of dark blue artificer armor and a long billowing cape stepped out of the ship. He stood there for a moment before Roark and an older woman also stepped out next to him. Slowly walking down the gantry he nodded to the two females who assumed defensive positions as naturally as someone standing against a post. Two gun-skulls slowly floated down the gantry behind him. Roark stepped down the gantry as well following the man, "Sir, I've got transport arranged, arrival is in 5." <br><br>Suddenly the outer lock door of the enclosed landing bay slid open and a servo-skull floated in. Both females in black armor immediately drew pistols and acquired target on the floating skull.<br><br>+++ GENE RECEPTORS POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED AS MARKUS ELIKSAR +++<br><br>Roark slowly stepped towards the servo-skull, placing himself between it and the man in the artificer armor. <br><br>+++ ASTROPATH COMMUNICATION INTENDED FOR MARKUS ELIKSAR. IDENTIFY TO PROCEED +++<br><br>The man in the armor looking back at the older woman and shook his head, "Identification Code 441N5BETA for Markus Eliksar."<br><br>+++ IDENTIFY CONFIRMED. TRANSMISSION BEGIN +++<br><br>The servo-skull slowly floated towards Eliksar.<br><br>+++ MY DEAR MARKUS. I HOPE THIS MESSAGE REACHES YOU, THERE HAS BEEN A SEVERE WARP STORM BETWEEN TERRA AND MIRANDA IV. I SENT AN ASTROPATH COMMUNICATION TO INQUISITOR LORD WHITEFIRE WEEKS AGO BUT IT MAY BE DELAYED AS A RESULT. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT SWEETIE. ALL MY LOVE, MOM. +++<br><br>Roark stiffled a chuckle as Eliksar shot him a murderous glance. "Well Helena, looks like my hope of being out of her shadow just isn't going to happen is it?" The older woman shook her head, "I think it will take you quite a long time to do that, Inquisitor Eliksar."<br><br>Eliksar walked past the servo-skull, "Let's find that transport and head towards the Palace Complex. Remember people, no one knows we are here or who we are until we rendev with the Inquisitor Lord."
