Achkaerin:
The Sacred Flame was a fast and well armed battleship in the Imperial Navy, though the crew had found themselves in the service of the Inquisition. The ship carried the forces under the command of one of the younger inquisitors, Celesti Frostblade, she had blazing red hair, even more blazing blue eyes and a lot more power than she gave herself credit for. She wore her own armour, blue and silver in colour but also a white cloak. She'd spent a lot of time on the journey to Tetris Dominus reading up on the situation and it worried her when hive worlds went dark it was almost never a good thing and to cap it all an inquisitor was involved in this - Inquisitor Aeolus a man with a notable record within the inquisition, a man with much much more experience than Celesti had. Stepping from her quarters on the ship Celesti, followed by her psyber wolf and psyber eagle made her way down to the hanger to board a ship to the surface as she walked she made sure her weaponry was as she wanted it, her two C'tan phase swords ready for use and easy to get to, her plasma pistol holstered. Her orders had been to investigate but she could tell what was expected of her, it was why she had the name 'Frostblade', she was an ice cold blooded killer - this was a hunt for the missing inquisitor but was it a hunt to the death?

As she stepped into the hanger she found Brother Captain Stefan of the Grey Knights, the most senior of their number under her command, waiting for her.
"I'm taking my squad down to the surface." Celesti said "Make sure our forces are battle ready, if I call drop you know where to go, if I call the ultimate sanction you do it without hesitation am I clear Captain?"
"Yes." Stefan said as Celesti and her squad squad stepped onto the Valkyrie dropship.

A few minutes later Celesti and those with her were stepping out of the dropship and looking around at the assortment of men before them, identfying Colonel Valius Merin was easy enough.

"Inquisitor Frostblade." Celesti said "Someone give me the latest report."

Geo:
Geoist stepped forwards hurriedly, making the sign of the Aquila as he stepped forward.
"Captain Geoist of the Adeptus Arbites, Ma'am" He said, giving his rank before pulling out a data slate. "Factory workers in the lower hives found the corpse and armour of an Adeptus Asartes. His armour identified him as Batheus Stroxus, member of the Deathwatch and former Blood Angel. The chestplate had been ripped apart. Soon after its discovery and confiscation, the factory was attacked by what appeared to be an underhive gang, and eye witness reports from the workers claim that they had "hulking beasts and three or more arms". Following procedure, the Govenor followed the regular procedure of updating the Adeptus Administratum of possible genestealer infestation, as well as the corpse of the Astartes."
He took a step back before coughing into his hand, his smoke rattled lungs not being used to breathing the thin air of the Hive Spires.
"We have, as you may have guessed, been assigned to aid you by the Govenor. He would come and greet you, but he is a very busy man."

Baal:
Lux Gladios, a veteran soldier of the Skitarii chimed in. He was mostly machine than man at this point as were many members of his Omnisiah cult brethren on Mars, even among them he is considered somewhat heretical, but he has fought for the Emperor and  served the Adeptus Mechanics for over 3000 years. His voice now mostly computerised "It could be many things. We saw something like this before in a far off planet in the Gothic Sector, it turned out it was a member of a genestealer cult. Let us hope it's not the same kind of case here, otherwise who knows how many of their kind are among the hive workers."

Geo:
"Genestealer?" said Geois, frowning in confusion, "what on Terra are they?"
Geois' training in the Hives had taught him how to tackle a wide variety of threats, including Gang wars, Heretical cults, rebels, orkoid infestation and even Tau. But he had never even heard of Genestealers.

Meanwhile
Miles up into the sky a figure sat, chained against a brass pillar. Its light skin and bald head stood out amongst the dark red of the blood soaked pit they rested in. Around them were laughs and jeers as hulking beasts clawed each other apart around them. Genestealer Skulls stared out from the pillar above, blood dripping from them eternally onto the brass collar round their neck. Inlaid with a stylised skull, its power muffling the psychic might of the bound Magus. They had not had any contact with the rest of the Cult for months, but they still felt the warming touch of the brood mind, keeping her happy in the secure knowledge that the Cult was alive and well.

Achkaerin:
"Our orders are very simple." Celesti said her voice firmer now carrying more authority, her game face very much on "We are to investigate whatever it is that's going on here, if it is an infestation then we root it out and purge it. However our responsibility is to make sure that any malevolent or malicious presence on this planet stays here under no circumstances is it to be allowed to spread out from here, no matter what we are required to do. We don't know what we might face here but do not let the darkness cloud your mind. Captain Geoist I want the Astartes corpse transported to my ship immediately, and then we're going into the hive, we'll start at that factory. I assume you've not found anything indicating the fate of Inquisitor Aeolus?"
