M. Jiles [Designation: Planetary Governor]: {Mrrg}, what in the name of the Emperor are you up to now, Inquisitor [name classified]? {footsteps} Calling me in the middle of the night, what's gotten into you? I am in enough stress as it is.
[name classified][Designation: Inquisitor (Ordos Xenos)]: Inquisitors only call Planetary Governors in the middle of the night if the matter to be concerned about is worth being fretted over. I assure you, I-
M. Jiles: 0400/3000 hours, Inquisitor? Is this matter truly important or have all chronos on the planet simultaneously malfunctioned?
[name classified]: Have you checked the seismographs lately?
: {huh?}
[name classified]: I shall inquire again. Have you checked the planet's seismographs as of late?
: What does this matter have to do about seismographs? This is ridiculous.
[name classified]: Tell me. Or should I visit you personally? Obstruction of an Inquisitor is second only to the obstruction of the Emperor's justice. Either is punishable by execution.
: I pay no attention to the planet's seismographs. Why should I? I let the administratum deal with them. I concern myself with the welfare of the people. [short pause] {static} -onfounded vox-caster! Apologies, inquisitor. Communications have been difficult over the last few weeks.
[name classified]: Weeks! By the Emperor, I should have noticed earlier…
: Inquisitor, what is going on?
[name classified]: Check the seismographs. NOW. You have a librarium or mechanicus outpost nearby, do you not?
: Yes, but-
[name classified]: Do as I say. The future of a planet of the Imperium is at stake.
: {muffled} [assumed deciphered words- Arkus, go down to the librarium, retrieve all {static} -ertaining to earthquakes, whether close to fault lines or not.] Inquisitor, I am a planetary governor. I require knowledge of any and all subjects related to the security of my planet. Tell me what is going on.
[name classified]: If the results of my research are correct, a massive threat to the Adulon sector is approaching quickly. Evacuate, get out of the system, get out of the galactic east. You do not have much time.
: Not until I- {static} -peror DAMN this voxcaster! Not until you tell me what is going to attack my planet!
[name classified]: A tyranid hive fleet is on the way.
… [long pause]
[name classified]: Jiles?
: How… there have- {static} -no genestealer infiltrations, no lictors…
[name classified]: This fleet is far larger than splinter size. This hive fleet may be larger than behemoth. With a fleet of that size, the shadow in the warp spreads farther.
: {muffled} [assumed deciphered words- Arkus… thank you…] What does tectonic activity have to do with a hive fleet?
[name classified]: Certain tyranid bio-ships, narvhals, tap into and utilize gravity wells. The planet's gravity field becomes disrupted and creates instabilities in the planet's mantle.
:…
[name classified]: Jiles … are you alright?
: I have just received news that th- {static} -tire planet is about to come under attack by a fleet o- {static} -avening xenos.
[name classified]: Good point. Get your mind in gear. Emperor knows you're going to need it. Begin evacuation immediately. By the sound of your vox-caster, the shadow in the warp hasn't consumed you yet, so the light of the Astronomican still shines upon your planet.
: Wh… where do I go?
[name classified]: Anywhere but where you are now. I must go now. You need all the time you have. I will send reinforcements to reclaim your planet. They should arrive at Dragus in two weeks' time. The Emperor protects.
: I hope he does.
