Terrible case of 'Writers Block' (and my Mum was sick) so sorry for the late update.
This is the last chapter told from the view of our Inquisitor so I can tell the story properly.
I walked over to the Chief Medicare in the white, sterile room. She was behind a desk reading a data-slate. She tapped it with the back end of her pen, and then put it down.
"Inquisitor! Lord Osma just informed me of your imminent arrival," she said, a happy tone in her voice. I guessed she didn't, in this servitor manned area, have many chances to speak to the sane or healthy. "I am aware you wish to speak to my patients."
"There're conscious? I was, on leaving them here, under the impression that it would be several days until they recovered," I told the Medicare.
"Yes, Inquisitor. All five of them." She was bemused, and I could tell this was from my changing expression.
"How?" I asked.
"I don't know. One of them laid down some symbols and began some kind of rubbing motion on the wounds. They simply re-knitted themselves, I've never seen anything like it".
It seemed like the touch of the warp to me. However, even Chaos has been known to hide secrets, and sacred technology was certainly one of the. Of course, this could even be some sort of technology that mealy seemed like magic. It could be nanobotic, or even could be some form of controlled warp use.
The mere prospect of speaking to such an example of ancient humanity, a creative and imaginative humanity, humanity on the rise, greatly appealed to him. He was not the most forward-looking of the Inquisition, nor a radical, or even a prospector of change, but he could not see the Emperor wishing the Cult Mechanicus to act as it did, stagnated and uninventive. But I could not take the risk of any form of evil warp magics.
So, at that point I contacted the astropaths aboard the ship.
The intensity of warp magic going on in that cargo hold was, according to them, enough to send some of them into shock. One astropath was gibbering crazily about time and space not working properly.
I had the Chief Medicare executed for negligence, the astropaths examined by Interrogator Jeanine and the Deathwatch Kill Team on hold to fight the risk of Eldar ambushes from the fragments of the ship sent to the Medicare, with a mission to clense.
There is only one way to deal with evil warp magics.
