Record+-+Argos+Jaeger+09

After boarding the merchant vessel, we have found records indicating that it’s captain was involved in the cold trade. Fortuitously, it seems he had the discretion to keep his Navigator Gazmati uninformed of his crimes against the Imperium, making it a possibility to negotiate her services as a navigator. However,her disposition is grating on my nerves. While the late Lord Navigator Jace had expensive tastes, he was much more personable. I’d almost prefer to make the return journey without her assistance. Between having to put up with Gatzmati’s constant demands or having to go through another series of warp Incursions, I think I’d rather fight the Daemons.

In regards to our investigation, Dallas has noted a striking similarity between a particular Xenos described by Sidrim, and our Inquisitor Fayne. For that to be remotely feasible, the “guests” would need to be very similar in appearance to humans. That, combined with the reported randomization of the vessel’s signature would indicate that we may be dealing with Eldar of some faction. If this xeno truly is our Inquisitor Fayne, I am curious as to whether the Lord Inquisitor is aware of her current status. Are we capturing an eldar spy formerly operating within the ranks of the Ordo Xenos, or does the Lord Inquisitor have some sort of dealings with some of these aliens? Perhaps from a mutual desire to decrease the trade of technology through illegal channels? If this is the case, I’m certain Umbra Knox would prefer it if I did not pry too closely into these affairs beyond what is necessary to accomplish his errand.

If a Xenos vessel does find us and choose to strike, we will likely be at a considerable situational disadvantage, given the damages suffered on the journey here. In the interests of completing the mission above all else, I have had Yasha prepare a course of escape through the gravity riptides, which should give us enough of a boost of speed to evade pursuit.
