Journal Entry for Leviticus Hexx of Ordo Maleus
Imperial Date is the 7th day of the 8th Lunar Cycle of the Charon system, in the year M41.638
Acolyte Garroth Malek failed to retrieve the xenos archeotech upon the surface of XC-9. Upon arrival on planet's surface, the residents had been alerted to intruders and inflicted heavy casualties upon Malek's forces. Malek had been unable to penetrate the perimeter of the compound and as a result had to withdraw. Acolyte Malek's faith in the will of the Emperor has shown signs of wavering these past few weeks, perhaps a visit to the purification chambers would renew his faith. His absolute failure is evidence of this fact.

Computer - schedule
Acoylte Gareth Malek a security clearance downgrade to Beta and 72 hours of
purification at the hands of Xander. Acolyte Gareth Malek is to be contained within
his hab cell until he is moved to his scheduled purifcation.
Acolyte Princepia was
able to note a small group leaving the scene as our forces arrived. She pursued the group which consisted of at
least 40 heavily armed men and she saw they were dragging a very large object
on multiple hoverpads. Acolyte Princepia dispatched a sentry that wore
the uniform of one of Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc vanguard. The armed force then moved the object, which
by her estimates was 11 meters long and weighed several tons, on to a waiting
shuttle that took off into the night sky.
Has Inquisitor DeOrc
betrayed me? Why were his men on the
scene and what did they recover from the compound? Was the large object part of the Black Spiral
that I seek? By seeking council with
DeOrc have I been betrayed by another's agenda?
I must know what has transpired. I
will get answers one way or another.
Time to set a trap.

Initiating Missive:
Menoch,
I have recently unearthed what could be a very powerful xenos
archeotech upon the surface of XC-9 and I am unable to decipher what it's
purpose is or how dangerous it is. I am
petitioning your assistance in this matter as you are the resident and leading
expert on Xenos technology. The entire
item is covered and inscribed with the sick and demented language of the
Eldar.
if we could meet somewhere, I could bring the artifact with
me and you could examine it there. I am
desperate to ensure the safety of the residents of this star system.
In the Emperor’s Name
we Trust.

Inquisitor Deorc has responded to my request and has "graciously" agreed to meet with me to examine the artifact we discussed. Our conversation leads me to believe that he does not suspect that he is aware that I know of his treachery. We shall meet on the surface of planet XC-9 this time two days from now.

Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Menoch, it is good to see you
Inquisitor. Thank you for agreeing to
meet with me with such haste.
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: You are most welcome Leviticus but
your missive was most troubling, where is this xenotech you spoke of in your
missive?
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: It's here and we'll get to it in a
moment, I wanted to ask you a few things before we got started my dear
friend. Things that have been most
troubling to me that I think you may be able to provide answers to.
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: Absolutely my friend, what do you
need to know?
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Good, this is good we are forging a stronger bond
already! Too often than I would care to
admit, Inquisitors double cross each other in pursuit of their own agendas and
I'm glad that we have a relationship that does not lend to such cut-throat
behavior. That said, I had sent you a
missive concerning a xenos artefact several months ago upon the surface of
XC-9. Do you remember that missive?
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: Of course I do Leviticus, that is
why I assumed you reached out to me again.
You appear to have found what you were looking for on the surface of
XC-9 no?
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Actually Menoch, no. But I believe
you did.
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: What are you talking about
Menoch?
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Come now Menoch, do you actually expect me to believe you
did not send one of your shock troop regiments down to the surface of XC-9 and
that you did not recover an arte[cccchkkkzzzzzaaaaazzzzzzzzz] *data corruption*
[ccchuuuuueeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk] was 11 meters long and load it upon your ship and
on the very night I had my raid planned?
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: Leviticus you must be mista..
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Do not lie to me DeOrc!
You sent a covert foray and stole the artefact before I could even get
there leaving my men to be butchered like swine when they attempted to
infiltrate!
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: Leviticus, let me explain.
The artifact you seek is too dangerous, your Interrogator Vallon showed
me the text you were stud...Leviticus put that gun away you dare draw a weapon upon another agent of
the Throne?
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc of the Ordo Xenos, I find you guilty
of heresy against the Throne. You have
transpired against another Inquisitor to prevent the salvation of the
Imperium. For that reason I declare
you...
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: Have you lost your mind?
There is no heresy there. I am
acting on orders above our station to bring in this xenotech and protect others
like yourse....
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: ... Heretic. You
will now burn for your crimes against the Imperium.
[shouting
from multiple unidentified sources]
Inquisitor Menoch DeOrc: You have lost your mind, I am no heretic you fool! You are pursuing something that you do not
understand. The Conclave bid me to
retrieve the weapon before it fell into the wrong hands. Order your men to stand down!
I repeat,
order your men to stand down Leviti...
Inquisitor Leviticus Hexx: Do not say my name
HERETIC! OPEN FIRE!
