The Black Ships. I wonder what Urlek would have thought about all of this. His replacement seems to think Trust is a problem. I thought we could get along swimmingly – after all his predecessor and I we’re quite close. Not that I expected anything like that to happen again, but I would have settled for acquaintances. But now that he has made his position clear – it’s hard to understand what the man is thinking. We’re aboard a Rogue Trader vessel, destined by the God Emperor to travel the stars and discover new things to bring into the imperium. We know for a fact, or at least I do, that Trust is no psyker. At most he’s a newly formed warp god, at least he’s just a manifestation of psychic energy that will dissipate on its own. He seems to grow like a normal man, so that could be the end of it – but I suppose that damned astropath will probably make it into a problem.

I told the captain everything, and this might cost me more than I care to admit. But the captain can be trusted. His machinery is all because he was convinced by the Tech priests, who I detest. Though I suppose they are a necessary evil aboard a starship, I don’t have to like it.

If only I had an excuse, something to give to the captain, something to show him the error of his ways. Something that shows that the tech priests are evil, or at least no longer human, that would be very interesting. Their very lack of emotion could help me piece together a point of attack.
