It would seem the Lord Inquisitor was less than impressed with my performance, though not outright enraged. My gift of the shoul star system did little to improve his disposition, though at least he did me the courtesy of accepting it. While I would have preferred if things had concluded differently, a Warrant of Trade, while valuable to me, is not enough for me to justify exchanging my senior officers for. I realize that the research on this eldar bio weapon would be of service to the imperium, however, I feel their lives would be far better spent in service to me, than they would as mere research subjects.

I am slightly disappointed regarding Winter's decision, though I gave her the freedom to make it for herself, it shows a certain lack of faith in the judgement of her Lord Captain. I also find the revelation of her attempts at political maneuvering to be somewhat distasteful, while mostly ineffective. Still, believe that the Lord Inquisitor’s plans will most likely be more than enough punishment for her behavior.

Due to his status an asset of the inquisition, I have claim to retain Myrmidon Deacon in my service. While his presence almost seems to drain the liveliness out of a room, I will miss his machine-like efficiency, and the dedication with which he commits himself to his duty in service to the Imperium.

The absentee Sergeant Todd Lee, while I may have to see that he punished for insubordination, should count himself fortunate that I did not accept the Inquisitor’s offer. That is, assuming Fek hasn’t already executed him for this incident.

It seems that until the our cargo's identity can be verified, I will have to do without the warrant of trade. No matter. My house is still young, and even with the limitations placed by the Administratum, there is still much growing that can be done. House Jaeger will not receive it's warrant until it is ready for it.

Lord Inquisitor Knox had better not be trying to seize by force what he cannot obtain through just and honorable trade, or I'm going to start feeling insulted about all this. Even a Lord Inquisitor has limits to his authority...
