I could hear Jeruss on the guard vox channel rallying his comrades, calling for them to turn on the Navy personnel. The naval security combat channel was riven with orders and countermands, squeals of rage and bellowed curses. I heard Oberon Glaw screaming for order, and the baying howl of...

TWENTY MY ALLY, CONFUSION THE WRATH OF MANDRAGORE AGAINST OBERON

That simple detail made me laugh. My confidence returned, and with it, my resolve. I waved Fischig and the soldier, Twane, over to me, and then made certain that Bequin, Midas and Jeruss were sufficiently in control of their faculties to be left in charge. Jeruss and Twane needed some fierce...

Shouts and noises of alarm came from some of the waiting men. Several turned and fled from the plateau, scrabbling, wailing. The nine saruthi clicked their way out into the open from the hoop, fanning out until they formed a semi-circular line facing Dazzo and Malahite. I saw Oberon Glaw...

‘They deployed us from the ships along this beach as an escort detail for the main party.’ ‘How many men?’ ‘Over a hundred naval security troopers, and three hundred or so of us guard.’ ‘Vehicles?’ ‘Speeders like you saw, and a pair of heavier personnel carriers for some crates of cargo and the...

her hair so it would not interfere with the helmet seal. ‘Good hunting, inquisitor,’ crackled Maxilla from the Essene above us. ‘He’ll be down there, won’t he?’ asked Bequin, and I knew she was referring to Mandragore. ‘It’s likely. Him… and whatever this is all about.’ ‘Well, you heard what...

I looked over at Bequin. She stood next to Fischig, and was bundled up in a heavy red gown with a grey shawl, and there was an expression of grim reluctance on her face. She’d found it all fun at first, a game, even in the face of danger at House Glaw. But Damask had changed things for her. The...

‘Of course not,’ I said. ‘Just as you would not honour any deal struck with me. It is a sad but true fact that no commitment or agreement of honour can be made between us. Which is why this crate comes with me. We have no other surety.’ ‘We’re not here to offer you surety, flesh-blister,’...

‘What now?’ he asked.What now indeed? We had the upper hand for a moment: they didn’t dare shoot or rush us, and Bequin was blocking Dazzo and any other psyker they had. ‘An answer or two,’ I suggested. ‘Eisenhorn!’ Fischig hissed. ‘An answer?’ laughed Glaw. Some of his men laughed too, and...

Then I saw Mandragore, over to the right of the yard, charging towards us with a baleful howl. ‘Back inside! Inside!’ I yelled and the three of us tumbled back in through the door. The outer wall of the building didn’t stop the Chaos-beast. Neither did the hatch. Ceramite and steel shod fists...

I pushed him into an old stone outbuilding. I guessed it had once been a wash-house in North Qualm’s more rural heyday. Bequin was cowering in a corner, filthy, tearful. The sight of the Child of the Emperor Mandragore had sent her fleeing in blind panic. Like me, she had made the mistake of...

Shouting suddenly boomed across the yard. An angry human voice followed by a deeper, more savage sound that set the hairs on my neck up. Lord Oberon Glaw, dressed in a cloak and body armour, slammed out of the building Dazzo had emerged from, striding across the landing yard. A second later, the...
