Imagine you need some space. Away from the constant booming of the artillery. To get some rest in your brain. To be able to think straight once in a while. Imagine you take a stroll. As you did before. Secretly. No Commissar will notice, nor will your NCO. Visiting that nice place in the remote plant. The one destroyed in the former campaign. But this time when you step over the torn down fences something is already there. Xenos.Would you tell anybody?

We finally found the entrance to the sub hab. And we constantly have the feeling of being watched and followed. Yet the place is empty.

The long corridors of House Druquard a hardly affected by the war storm outside and within the hive. Their own security systems and autonomous setup keeps them from almost any harm. So they don’t even bother with those ongoings while more important things are do be done. Once again the Chief Trade Interrogator and her bodyguard servitor approach the car vault to meet with those who stay hidden in the shadows.

Who is this Chief Trade Interrogator? What tech is running her monstrous servitor? Who is Cordula Druquard? The data available states her to be the eldest daughter of Lord Druquard and to be in that position for more than fifty years. No entries available about the servitor or its tech.
