After the mission, Eisenhorn managed to successfully extract your team from the Nobis' surface and now all of you are back the Aspera Dominus. What shall you do first:
>Speak with Sergeant Argos of the Void Squad - he seemed to be a little bit concerned about how the mission ended.
>Speak with Eisenhorn - he is the reason you and your men shed blood and killed innocent Imperials, it is time for questions and answers.
>Deiron is the key to many things, maybe you should try to interrogate him before you allow Eisenhorn touch him? You never know whom you can trust and maybe you could force the Daemon inside Deiron tell you things that Eisenhorn wouldn't be able to get from him...

[Warning: Choosing either of these options will change direction of the game and other options will become unavailable afterwards]

Quintor has always been a defensive commander, preferring to keep enemy occupied, while preparing a crushing counter attack to finish the battle. However the time he spent in the Academia at Tombstone during the last few years allowed him to study the classical works of military thought. He spent months playing simulation wargames based on the advice of Tactica Imperialis and Codex Astartes, this helped him improve both his strategical skills and ability to lead. Spending a lot of time with 5th company made him forge a very special bond with his men, who are extremely close to him, more like sons than subordinates. Because of this reason his ideas of the Deathwisher cult became prevalent among them. Quintor finds himself at crossroads now - he is following the ideal of glorious death in battle, but at the same time he is very protective of his soldiers. What kind of leader will he be only the test of iron will show.

Quintor gains:

You approach Argos just as he is taking off his blood-stained unmarked power armour. He salutes you and puts down the armour plate he was holding in his hands. Squire-servitor continues to undress him, but he concentrates on you:
>Ave, Chapter Master. Congratulations on successful mission. To be honest, we all went in there with our minds prepared for death. Your leadership was worthy of Corax himself, we haven't lost a single man, even Brother Hull seems to be stable and Apothecary Simmer promised to get him back into combat ranks within half a year. Please understand this - me and my men, we, the Void Squad, admire you more than anything in this bleak existence. That is the reason why it feels so wrong that I am not feeling completely content with how this mission went. While we have won, it came at a blood price, not our own, but that of other Imperials.

>And the men we fought in the end... Grey Knights! Who could have believed that! They are the stuff of legends! And they held out against our squad led by you, Chapter Master, that is quite a feat, having in mind how we punched through hundreds of Inquisitorial stormtroopers like a powersword through flesh. Either way, this was a very strange mission, nothing like killing Orks in some half-forgotten rim worlds. We spoke with other men before the mission, what would we do when, if we survived. We spoke about our dreams and when I realised what we all really lacked our whole lives, I promised my men to ask you this after the mission. Chapter Master, we want to rejoin our brothers. We want to become part of the Chapter... To be part of a Company, to have a Captain. To get to know other brothers, not just listen to tales about their deeds. To dine with others in the main hall of Tombstone, to sing the Litanies of Hate and Fury on the Day of Emperor's Ascension. We understand that we are different and there is a reason that we know just you, Klementhos and your Honour Guard, but please, if you think that we did well on the last mission - let us become real Ghosts, like all the others. Or if we failed you in some way - let me know what can we do so that we would deserve this privilege.

Before the ritual began Eisenhorn took you to the side and explained you what is about to happen. Daemonhost at the moment is bound to the person who created it, most likely Quixos himself. This means, that it serves and obeys specific rules and principles set out by it's creator. In order to successfully interrogate Daemon, Eisenhorn was planning to break this link, but to maintain the bonds that shackle unholy entity to this reality, this way trapping it and leaving it in a vulnerable position where it would have to submit to his will. You are smart enough [IN 45 autopass] to ask him:
>Does that mean that you will be effectively replacing Quixos as the master of the Daemon..?
Eisenhorn doesn't seem to be happy with this question, but he confirms it:
>That is right. Not a pleasant idea, but there is no other way to make this work and we NEED to get the information about Quixos. Don't worry, I will keep it under control and banish it as soon as it is no longer necessary for our goals. Just a temporary measure.
You both then entered the room where the Daemonhost is levitating in the air, chained to the floor with heavy silver chains; each chain link was inscribed with words of power that kept it weakened. There is another woman in the room, she is arrogant enough to stare you straight into the eye, not many mortals dare this. Looking at her makes you feel repulsed for some reason and only then you realise that you can't feel her on the immaterial plane, at all! It's as if she wasn't there, or maybe even the opposite - it's as if she would be sucking in Empyrean around her, like a black hole.
>This, Chapter Master, is our wild card in case something goes terribly wrong. I am pleased to introduce you to Elisabeth Bequin, she's as you might have already noticed, a Psychic blank. She can control her abilities very well, so her aura is currently at the lowest possible point, it will not affect the ritual.

Bequin retreats to the back of the room and Gregor starts chanting - first in High Gohic, you can follow him quite well, but then he starts putting in words from some other language, a lot older and a lot more sinister than anything a human might use to communicate. You realise that he is calling out and challenging the Daemon, and the Daemonhost starts jerking like a doll controlled by a mad puppet master. Then, voices flood your head, the Daemon is speaking to you despite his mouth being sewn shut...
>Did you know that the wings of the Mormarkian butterfly have over 80 000 sensory spots...
>Why didn't you promote me!? If you would have picked me, Chapter wouldn't...
>I never had a chance to tell her goodbye, when the machines...

Finally, Eisenhorn is finished and the voices recede. Daemonhost continues to levitate above the ground, but the aggressive energy that was radiating from him is now gone. Eisenhorn turns to you. His eyes are red and his eye-sockets are black, he looks as if he went without sleep for weeks, even though just a few hours ago he looked perfectly healthy.
>We won. He is under my command now. Thank you for not disrupting the spell, it could have given him a second chance to try to break free. It answered my questions. I know where Quixos is hiding and I know what he is doing, or at least I know as much as our prisoner does... But first, I need a stronger drink.
Eisenhorn takes you to his office and opens up a bottle of amasec with seal from 40th millenium.
>Small vices that I can allow myself to indulge in. - He explains. - Now, let us first speak about more pleasant things. When i first came to this Sector, I asked you for help, hoping that you will see the reason for why I am doing what I am doing and that you will help me. You did that and more, you went beyond what is normally considered to be the duty of the Imperial servant. I promised you that I will be grateful and I didn't forget that. First of all, have this.
He opens a drawer and hands you a few neatly stapled documents with heavy red-vax seals.
>Imperial sanctioning papers. You have underwent special training while you were on Luna at the special chapter of Schola Psykana that was closed down a decade ago, so no one can check whether it was true. All of the documents are perfectly legitimate - now you are oficially a recognised, sanctioned psyker, congratulartions.

>However not all of the things I want to discuss with you are pleasant. The Daemon serves me now and he spilled all of his former master's secrets. He was indeed created by Quixos. Daemonhost happened to be an unexpected side effect of the experiments on Deiron's body. When Deiron came looking for Quixos, he managed to capture Grey Knight and strip him off his outer layer of flesh, removing all of the protective sigils one by one and replacing the tissue. From daemons thoughts it is hard to judge whether it was originally done because Quixos is sadistic degenerate or is he a dark genius, who probably took the credit of corrupting first Grey Knight ever. Either way, he wanted to use Deiron as a personal assassin, a shock weapon - powers of the daemon in a vessel of an Astartes, scary combination. What he didn't count on was that Deiron is still somewhere inside, he wasn't consumed by the Daemon, simply suppressed. For this reason when it was sent to kill the Lord Inquisitor, Daemon hesitated, stopped from inside by Deiron and this bought Lord Weimar and Inquisitor Hesten enough time to subdue it.

But this daemon-plaything, this shock weapon, wasn't the original goal of Quixos' research. What he was really looking for was a conduit. A living vessel, who could be used to channel warp energies into the Materium, maybe in a similar, but perverted way as the Emperor and his psychic attendants are conduits for the Astronomicon. That is the reason he spent last few decades trying to get his hands on every Alpha+ psyker in the whole Segmentum! He is building something, something big and something dangerous, on a distant planet of Farnesis Beta, i've checked Inquisitorial database - it's right on the edge of the Eye of Terror. Daemon doesn't know what it is, but from what it described I know for sure, that it's something horrible. Tonight I will send out astropathic messages to all of my closest colleagues and we will mount an operation to kill Quixos and stop his dark design. But I know that this will not be a game, we fought against Quixos before. That's why I would like to ask you to help me one more time. This would be the last thing I would ever ask from you. Will you accompany me to Farnesis Beta and help me kill Inquisitor Quixos?

>Mormarkian heresy

"No, Inquisitor. I speak of bending the knee to the Sector Governor in order to save the population of Mormark from starving. The Sector Governor 'requested' an honor guard of my chapter soon after, and I fear that he has been subverting the marines assigned to him since then, while refusing my chapter access to them.

I fear that only one marine may resist the Governor's will, and he nearly panicked when I simply made to speak with them without his presence.

If it would empower you against Quixos and give us both a chance to ensure that the astartes of this honor guard are not suffering some form of control or being swayed to heresy, I would ask you to use your powers to claim them from the Governor, allow me and mine access to ensure their loyalties or do so yourself, and use them to aid in your mission.

Fate has granted me the means to resist any attempt by the Governor to demand another honor guard, and I believe that my brothers would serve you well, if they still obey the Imperium. I can provide brothers to ensure they are no threat while their minds are scanned."
