After arriving back on Scintilla inquisitor Tyburn Graves summoned us to brief us on our next mission. We were ordered to board a military warship and investigate a reported abandoned starship. We travelled to its location and boarded it. Initially the ship did appear abandoned, until we were suddenly attacked by 3 psykers. We killed them after a brief fight, though we had to wait for the last who had managed to create a time warp and disappeared for about a minute.

We finished searching the ship and found no one else alive, though the crew had obviously been killed. In the cargo hold was a series of cells. There was also a strange machine which was identified as a psi damper, though it appeared to be broken. All the life boats were missing so we surmised that the ship had been illegally transporting unregistered psykers. The damper had broken and the psykers had escaped. The three left on board had not been able to fit in the life boats. The starship had been coming from Sepheris Seccundus. We ordered the captain of our warship to destroy the star ship then take us to Sepheris Seccundus.

When we arrived we found a xenos carrier ship was attacking a holding facility for black ships. (Black ships are the official transporter of psykers for processing). We flew down to the planets surface. It was an eventful flight with Drakar at the controls as he was not always in complete control of the craft. When we got to the surface I called down orbital bombardment from our warship onto the xenos transporter and after several hits drove it off. Sangius also did some damage to it, taking out one of its weapons with our crafts canon. Drakar remained at the controls, sometimes actually being in control. Severus just cowered in the back.

We then landed and went inside compound. Their generator was down and were at risk of loosing complete power, which would result in all the psykers currently held being able to escape. Severus examined the generator and found it could only have been sabotaged by the head tech priest Tonis because of the nature of the sabotage. He then shot the head priest with his bolt pistol, killing him instantly.

In his quarters we found a data slate showing he belonged to the ???? society. We went to visit the tech priests parents. On questioning them we got them to admit their son was a psyker and they had hidden him while he grew up. We went to their 'lodge' and interrogated the administrator there. From him we got the address of Vicount Adrin who was their social secretary. We went to his house and when we arrived he had other members of his society visiting. I sensed the presence of another psyker in the room. We isolated and examined everyone thoroughly. I deduced the Lady Contessa was an unregistered psyker. Hiving isolated her I was still aware of the presence of at least one other psyker. Knowing we could not deal with a number of psykers we took everyone's names and addresses so the matter could be dealt with later.

We left Sangius watching the mansion while we took Contessa back to the black ship holding facility. While we were away a couple of people attacked Sangius. He killed them. When we returned another couple attacked us and we killed those as well.

We went into the mansion and interrogated Vicount Adrin who confessed he was the leader of a group of rogue psykers. We attacked and killed them all. We searched the mansion and found a data slate with details about a meeting arranged between Adrin and Emyl Kantris in some bar. Emyl worked for the shadow franchise. We went to the bar and captured Emyl. He asked if we are with Flax Nagai. He was an offworlder who was shipping out the unregistered psykers.

We went back to the parents of Tonis and interrogated them further. They admitted that Majos Avery, who worked at the home world Mars, operated on him. Tonis was a psyker and Avery tried to remove parts of his brain to remove his psychic abilities. In return Avery was allowed to reopen a mine shaft in a tunnel in Fathom sound mine. The father said he loved his family more than the emperor so Severus killed him. We went into the mine and killed a couple of servitors. We found a modified psi damper which I blew up.
