"There're three main reasons: one, the Arbites aren't going to do shit. It's a frontier government out there. Those men and women are only as loyal as their pay stubs allow them to be."

"Two, the Inquisition has a long and rather nasty history with the Caebolgs. The Cancridrean High Conclave unearthed their cold trade enterprises during the Xenocide. We thought we'd wiped them out the first time, but as you can see, we were mistaken."

"Three, the reason we're interested in Caddoc specifically is because this," He flicks the control-wand, "is what he lets his boys do in their spare time."

The picts shift through a number of grisly scenes, likely taken at the scene of the crimes. Disembodiment, beheadings, corpses hanging by their necks from streetside lume-posts. It takes you a moment to realize that all the victims have one thing in common: they're all wearing vestments or icons of the Adeptus Ministorum.

The last pict shows an unfortunate preacher naked and gutted, spread-eagled across his own altar. At the base of the nearby confessional, crude, smeared letters spell out the message: "YOUR GOD IS AN EXCUSE."

The Adjutant looks on grimy. "We've always suspected the Caebolgs of having ambitions of full autonomy from the Imperium, but we've never seen anything so brazen up until now. If he truly did kidnap our newlyweds, regardless of whether or not he's working on his own, Caddoc may very well have just what just what he needs to start a fully-fledged insurrection."

"You see now why we're so keen on intervening?"
