Shades on Twilight, part 1 - The Message

Timestamp: 6.847.997.M41

Location: Acreage system, Josian Reach, Calixis Sector

Situation: Approaching the space hulk 'Twilight of Acheron'

Body: Hours later you are all back aboard the Maiden of Golgenna. She's made the trip back to Acreage and is now boosting away again - heading straight for the great black bulk of the space hulk 'Twilight of Acheron'. You've got some of the money (plus an eight woman orchestra) promised by the Prince, but not all. Not by a long shot. You might never see the money at all, because in less than 24 hours the hulk with smash into the surface of Acregae and not only kill everyone, but trigger massive cataclysms that will devastate the entire surface of the world.

So why aren't you calling it quits and moving on? Not because you think you can save the world, because you can't - there is no way you could deflect the hulk in any meaningful way. You're not Space Marines or anything. Not bloody Dark Angels terminators with melta mega-warheads to blow it apart from the inside. No, you're heading towards the hulk because somewhere inside is a transmitter broadcasting the location of renowned Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Adorjin. She's one of the most famous smiters of evil Calixis ever had - so famous that her name is remembered even through she's been lost for over six hundred years. Lost while carrying the force sword 'Luminous Reproach'. A blade blessed by Saint Sebastian Thor himself. Perhaps the only weapon to have received such a blessing from a man who loathed weapons as much as he loved the Emperor and humanity.

So it figures you have to go have a look before everything crashes and burns...might even score you some points with the Malleus. Emperor knows you could need some of those...
