The following was autotranscribed from pict and vox recordings from the a Shark Assault Boat registered to the Venit Heims.

The last of the boarding party are in position. This particular contingent is under the direct command of Inquisitor (Redacted) who is securing himself in a seat adjusted to accommodate his power armour. "A 5 boat raid for a dataslate sir?" The speaker is Lt. Poppy Bonesteel, the Ogryn commanding the Armsmen platoon assigned to this particular boat. "We don't know what's guarding it Lieutenant." The inquisitor is terse. "Or if it's even genuine." "That too but I doubt we'd need nearly 200 ex Astrae Militarae to check its authenticity." "It's got something to with old Anton right." "Who told you that." "Well why else would an Inquisitor and a Rogue Trader be working like this?".

(I'd heard rumours that the Ogryn women were considerably cleverer than their menfolk but this one gave most humans officers a run for their money. Not only did she know her logic but she also knew her history. Anton Eisenstark was a direct ancestor of young Hrodbearth and had a much closer working relationship with the Inquisition than was typical for one of his ilk.)

++ Affirmitive Flag, given the inherent risk and uncertain I have prepared a psy link trigger tuned to the Inquisitor's psychic essence.++

++ Good thinking Tatty++

"So one though from you and we're gone in a puff of smoke then?" Bonesteel enquires."

"Or a blast of warp energy or a gust of wind my typical to Teleportation phenomena, although puffs of smoke have indeed been documented, but only rarely." Corrects her orderly, Private Ibzer.

"Pedant."
"That's what I'm paid for sir."

"I know the name but how did this Veydon bloke get mixed up in all this? We are talking about Josiah Veydon the historian right?"

(It's hardly surprising she doesn't know. Very few, even Grandmasters are well known to the public in person. Kolius Raege was very much the exception to the rule.)

"A colleague."

(This was strictly speaking a lie, I had never met the old Grand Master, in fact he had disappeared before I was even a lowly acolyte with the Ordos Thavma. My old master however, knew the man personally .)

"I thought you fellas burned books rather than wrote them."

"Veydon was a scholar first and foremost."
"Well that would explain why every man and his dog knows the name despite not having any idea who he really was."

"I suppose."

"Must be something bloody important in this archive though. Plans? Star Charts? STC database?"

"No idea."

++ Well is where we say goodbye ladies and gents++ Internal intercome, from Sublieutenant Brown, the pilot of the assaultboat ++

"Right, move out."
