Marr does at no point reveal that he is dissatisfied with you or reveal any hint that he disapproves of your actions. But maybe he doesn't care since he's sending you to your death - he's just tried to make sure you're properly motivated before going in. When it comes to the more practical aspects of the mission he provides you with a short briefing - a more comprehensive brief can be found in the dataslate the secretary-servitor will hand you upon leaving (Jeb can see Azhmut looking over the room again after this comment, noting the numerous dataslates scattered around the jinxed study - clearly the effect is not maintained at all times, just when he has visitors). In short you'll board the skyship the Cygnan Marty. Skyships - which are basically large aerial vessels kept aloft by repulsors - is a preferred method of travel on Solomon as it avoids the decaying hives and industrial areas and bypasses the often atrocious terrain of the wastelands. Skyships are also relatively lowflying, as Solomon is known for its fierce and unpredictable high-altitude jetstorms. At any rate the House of Dust and Ash is on an island far from shore - and security here is very tight, so sneaking in is not a good option (maybe for a lone assassin, but not for a trader delegation at any rate). You will go there as Rogue Trade Jax Guilliman and entourage - you will not betray your affiliation with the Inquisition to anyone, other Inquisition agents you might meet included. The secretary will provide you with tickets and Munitorum pass-tokens that will allow you both a place on the skyship and the clearance to get through skyquay security. You are to attend the auction and observe. If you survive you are expected to report your findings. If you die that won't be neccessary - there are other observers in place. You (meaning Jax) will be set up with a credit line of 40 million Thrones, with the ability to call upon 20 more if needed. These are Tricorn money, so try not to waste them - but do not fear to bid on stuff either. You are rogue traders after all, just not very rich ones...

From the tight jaw and blood vessels trying to burst on Haxtes face, Jeb can see that the antics amuses him too!

"Thank you, that's most enlightening," Jebediah remarks silently to Azhmut, heartened by the fact that his sidearm at least might work in a pinch. "Though it does seem odd to install something that primarily focuses against Imperial tech." He glances to Haxtes and Maxi, giving a wry grin at their antics while watching the Inquisitor for signs of how he takes the display in front of him, before remarking once more to the tech-priest. "Do you know anything about those odd lines in the floor below us? Some protective runes?"

Haxtes gives Maxi a look that in some cases can burn flesh and says nothing

"Yes, G-T. Since your valet is carrying your mortal credentials and document I thought you were concerned for their safety."

( Now that is true, he did say that and Haxtes is at best concerned with his own life, you know the old Horus take the hindmost and all that ) To Inquisitor: "Thank you for your kind and uplifting words, I will keep them in my heart to comfort my soul in dark and perilous moments."

To Maxi: "No my sweetest friend. If I want my arms masters attention on something other than the safety of my own mortal flesh, then you my arms master will by default be the first to know, for now just keep browsing the antiques that seem to amuse you so, and I think its only proper that a man has a sound hobby...antiques being sound if you wondered."

(when Haxtes puts it like that the team does perhaps not give the best of impressions - but then again the Inquisitor is talking only to you and he DID say he was sending you to the slaughterhouse, with a faint hope that YOU might survive ;-)
