Your characters will have just spent months being tested, measured, questioned and interrogated by Cowled faceless members of a Inquisition at a secret location. Between these episodes you are given endless ciphers and codes to learn and recall. Each being destroyed after your successful memorisation. That was until 3 weeks ago when you woke to find yourself in transit tube bound for Hive Sibellus on the planet of Scintilla, a note in your pocket with a hab address and a pouch containing ten Gelt Thrones of Scintillan mint and simple message. "Await further instructions."

Player Briefing #1 -

“After being singled out and inducted into the service of the

Inquisition, things have not quite gone as you had imagined

them. Removed from your past life, you have been tested and

measured, questioned and interrogated for months.

But aside from a few lectures given in darkened chambers that left you sick to your

stomach and a seemingly endless stream of codes and ciphers

given you to memorize and destroy, you have been left largely to

your own devices. Lodging under a false name in an anonymous

habblock in Hive Sibellus, on Scintilla, the capitol planet of the

Calixis Sector, you have bided your time for weeks waiting for

the call from your masters, and perhaps, their verdict.

At last that call has come and a blankeyed courier has

delivered to you a note featuring the cipher of the Holy Ordos.

The message within was simple and perfunctory, containing a

time, a date and a location. The instruction to come prepared

and expect company is signed off with a single epithet—The

Emperor Protects”
