Gregor Eisenhorn looks you in the eye:
>However not all of the things I want to discuss with you are pleasant. The Daemon serves me now and he spilled all of his former master's secrets. He was indeed created by Quixos. Daemonhost happened to be an unexpected side effect of the experiments on Deiron's body. When Deiron came looking for Quixos, he managed to capture Grey Knight and strip him off his outer layer of flesh, removing all of the protective sigils one by one and replacing the tissue. From daemons thoughts it is hard to judge whether it was originally done because Quixos is sadistic degenerate or is he a dark genius, who probably took the credit of corrupting first Grey Knight ever. Either way, he wanted to use Deiron as a personal assassin, a shock weapon - powers of the daemon in a vessel of an Astartes, scary combination. What he didn't count on was that Deiron is still somewhere inside, he wasn't consumed by the Daemon, simply suppressed. For this reason when it was sent to kill the Lord Inquisitor, Daemon hesitated, stopped from inside by Deiron and this bought Lord Weimar and Inquisitor Hesten enough time to subdue it.

>But this daemon-plaything, this shock weapon, wasn't the original goal of Quixos' research. What he was really looking for was a conduit. A living vessel, who could be used to channel warp energies into the Materium, maybe in a similar, but perverted way as the Emperor and his psychic attendants are conduits for the Astronomicon. That is the reason he spent last few decades trying to get his hands on every Alpha+ psyker in the whole Segmentum! He is building something, something big and something dangerous, on a distant planet of Farnesis Beta, i've checked Inquisitorial database - it's right on the edge of the Eye of Terror. Daemon doesn't know what it is, but from what it described I know for sure, that it's something horrible. Tonight I will send out astropathic messages to all of my closest colleagues and we will mount an operation to kill Quixos and stop his dark design. But I know that this will not be a game, we fought against Quixos before. That's why I would like to ask you to help me one more time. This would be the last thing I would ever ask from you. Will you accompany me to Farnesis Beta and help me kill Inquisitor Quixos?

>This is highly unusual. As i understand, you suspect that something is wrong with the Sector Governor? We will definitely have to look into his activities. However I must warn you - sometimes bodyguards develop very close relationships with their masters, and it wouldn't be the first time an Astartes changes his allegiance, if you get what I mean... I wouldn't wan to ask the Sector Governor to give up his honour guard just now, because he will be able to claim that he needs all the possible protection - if someone managed to break into Inquisitorial base, surely no one is safe. If he really holds on to them as you say, he will not give them up without a long bureaucratic war. I would like to first deal with Quixos, then sort out your Mormark's quarantine problem and then ask the governor to release your men. Is that ok?

You decide to liquidate the auctioning house. Please roll 2d10+50 and add it to your wealth. Among the sold items were:

+Archaic Warp Navigation Device - allows you to travel the warp without Navigator and decreases chance of warp accident.
+Deck of Wraithbone Tarot - allows you to predict events far into the future or understand present, powerful divination tool.
+Empty Dreadnought Chasis - all marks of belonging to a Chapter are scratched off, but Destros thinks it was made back in M38.
+Blessed Chainsword "Orkmort" - allegedly carried by Saint Drusus, founder of Sector Calixis, this is a powerful weapon that to this day is being mentioned in the Orkish legends across the Segmentum, gives +30 to intimidate Orks and increases chances of having a non-violent conversation with them.

These items have been bought by various buyers.

My ship is was heavily modified for quick warp jumps, so we can cover this distance in mere year or so, but I woudn't want to give that traitor a single extra day to finish his work. Well, but now it's time to celebrate - we still have two boxes of amasec left and I will make sure to spice it up for you just right, so that even an Astartes would feel it's kick!

My take on things
>1. Who is going with you to Farness Beta? [Inquisitorial escort can take up to 20 marines and 1 rhino-sized vehicle(or dreadnought).]
Captain Kay with 9 other assault marines. Us, Librarian Trianon, Chaplain Tempestos and the 7 revenants in a Rhino. Gives us lots of mobility (we're supposed to be RG remember?). Remember to bring Darrion's helmet.
2. Who is in charge of the Chapter once you are gone?
Brethorius
3. Do you give any orders for the Chapter to follow while you are away?[in regards to distress calls or possible crises] Start training 2 more Chaplains. Concentrate on defending only the areas near our worlds. If no word back in, say, 5 years assume the mission went badly and we're dead.
