The Tech-priest took the pistol and gave it the same quick look over as the other weapons, before setting them down and turing to the Inqusitor. "You were right Inquisitor," he spoke, his voice clear, but with a hint of unnatural vibrations in it. "The Astartes weapon is excellently maintained with the same kind of fierce machine spirit that inhabits many of their weapons. The Guardsmen weapons show signs of much induvidual personailzation as well as full fuctionality, and the salavager..." A strong hint of distaste entered the Tech-priest's voice, like a guardsman having to eat rations that went bad upwards of a week before. "Well, they will function."

The Inquisitor nodded, "good, that personalization tells me that you must have suvived several battles prior to this so you may have the experiance I'm looking for," he said to Shoto and Fel Bando. "Let me catch you up to speed on what's happening on this planet." He pulled up what looked like a cheap globe of the planet and put it up on the table. "Kadjah, part industrial world, part agri world. Fairly self sufficent, pays tithes in form of recruits for local battlefleet and manufactoring household appliances or something. About a month and a half ago a Ork WAAAGH entered the sector and a spliter of it, rival warlord or something, came here. After three weeks of fighting the planet's defense force, Imperial guard showed up and beat them before most left to join the forces fighting the main horde. Only two regiments remain on world to burn out the remains of the Orks to prevent them from returning, an armored and heavy infantry."

He shifted around the papers on the desk and pulled up one that showed a section of the planet with 3 citites as well as a small town to the south. "We are here," he said pointing to the town. "This place got wrecked by the Orks, the remains of the horde as well as the guard forces are further to the south. The citites to the north are where the PDF held off the Horde to Imperial guard forces arrived. The western and eastern ctites are currently experiancing a large amount of civil unrest, riots and the like. The central city started to do the same before suddenly stopping." The central city was a good deal smaller than the other two cities, with the map listing that it had a population of 300,000.

The Inquisitor reached into the robe he had over his power armor. "Now none of this would be too suspicious or alarming if not for, this." He drew out a pair of items from his robe which he placed on the table. One was an artist's depiction of the upper half of an Astartes with blue armor adorned with a green hydra, the second was a blurry pict cap of what looked like a indistict blue figure. "A member of the traitor Alpha Legion. That pict cap is from the planet's main port city. I've been chasing him for nearly three solar years now, and I can tell through various diviantion means that he has not left the planet. Once you realize a Alpha Legionary is here a lot of things suddenly make sense. How did a planetary defense force fight off a Ork Horde for three weeks? He was co-ordinating them. Why would the riots break out in these cities and yet stop so suddenly in the other? He's using them as a distraction." The Inquisitor took another map, this of a city and spread it out on the table. "Your mission, what?" He put his hand up to his helmet. "Yes alright, I'll be right over." He looked up at the group, "my apologies, I'm needed away for a second. In the mean time, I suggest you familiarize yourselves with that map, Its where I'm sending you."

As he moved away, the Tech-priest moved up with the cart. "I've finished with my inspection, you may retrive your weapons, or whatever you call these things," he said giving a look of mild disgust to Kaylock. The group could see that while the tech-priest's face was clear of augments, there appeared to be metal on his neck over his trachea. Pehaps internal filtering. "I must say, you're the first group we've had through here with an Astartes. You're probably the one the Inquisitor expects to succeed."
