Prologue
I was finally on route to Scintilla to start my new life as an acolyte in the inquisition when I was informed that the spaceship was being diverted to Sepheris Secundus. It seems that I would be starting by new job sooner than expected. There had been an uprising on the planet. It had been quickly quelled by the local imperial guard, but there was a problem with the mines, the output of which was the planets main export. The imperial guards who had entered the mines had reported the presence of something that was not human. At least those that returned from the mine reported this, for many who entered the mine just never returned. It was to be my task, along with two other acolytes (Sangius and Drakar) who happened to be on board, to investigate the mine and solve its riddle.
We travelled to the surface and questioned some of the guardsmen. However they were unable to provide us with much information, just tales of creatures seen in the mine. We decided the only option was to descend into the mine ourselves to find the cause. We requisitioned some equipment from the imperial guard then descended into the mine. It soon became clear to us that something was indeed down there, as we found evidence of the fate of the missing guardsmen in the form of blood trails and body parts. Finally I was able detect something with my affinity to the warp. A well placed grenade eliminated the first of the warp corrupted individuals we had found. From then on it was a simple matter to sweep through, eliminating the corruption as I sensed it.
