Editing Flame Falcons (section)

==Inquistion Time!==
Some [[Inquisitor]] that saw the Falcons make war decided, in a typical [[grimdark]] fashion, to spoil everything by [[DOOM:_Repercussions_of_Evil|declaring the Flame Falcons to be daemons]]. (The question as to what fucking buffoon would see something that kills demons as evidence of demons is simply answered by either Puritanism and/or [[Tzeentch]], whose [[just as planned|mind-boggling convoluted schemes]] aren't above such kind of manipulations; and a general ''better safe than sorry!'' attitude.) Makes you think what went SO FUCKING WRONG with the geneseed experiments that it caused the cells of the Space Marines to spontaneously combust. On the flip side, these guys would love the Fire Lords and Salamanders, and if they didn't get condemned for it, the latter two Chapters probably would've very much liked a refined version of the mutation.

Fast forward, excommunicate traitoris, [[Grey Knights]], everybody dies in a (larger than usual) fire. Which is odd, since not only should their psychic nature have caused the Grey Knights to instantly realize the Inquisitor was wrong, but the flames should have protected the Flame Falcons. Well, the Grey Knights did attack the Space Wolves and have attacked other deeply loyal Chapters for basically no reason. Except none of those times was to kill presumably corrupt Marines but for political reasons and ''this time'' is because the Marines in question were accused of being '''daemons'''. When they <s>got their asses kicked by</s> fought the Space Wolves and other Chapters, it wasn't due to something like this which, means the Grey Knights would've instantly known their mission was fake. The Grey Knights are perfectly willing to tell the Inquisition to shove it (or kill treacherous Inquisitors stupid enough to manipulate them), a point which we've seen demonstrated increasingly frequently in the wake of Guilliman's return: while still independent and even willing to gainsay him in rare instances, albeit politely, the Grey Knights tend to gravitating to the primarch, and by extension, ''away'' from the Inquisition.

Of course, with the Flame Falcons founded during the infamous Cursed Founding, the Inquisitor might have hit the figurative nail on the head. If the Grey Knights uncovered further evidence of genuine or plausible-enough corruption during their assault it would explain why the Chapter was persecuted to such a severe degree - you don't need to openly worship Chaos to be a corrupted puppet, after all, and they're called the *Grey* Knights, not *White* Knights. Even if it wasn't daemonic in nature, an entire Chapter displaying psychic abilities out of the blue might by itself be enough for it to get purged regardless of other considerations, and the overwhelming stagnancy of the Imperium might have been enough for the Flame Falcons to end up targeted for other reasons.
