CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT - IF YOU ARE NOT OF SUITED STATUS TO READ THIS ARTICLE, SEEK OUT THE NEAREST COMMISSAR OR JUDGE FOR INSTRUCTION ON DUE COURSE IMMEDIATELY.


I, Arbitrator Detective Kazymanderas Jallus of the Bastion-4 Precinct of the district Artra-Na of the planet Gariddina, file this report and hereby swear it to be the Emperor's Truth.

My assignment - as previously reported under document A223-Z - began at Precinct Bastion-4, my local and assigned Precinct.
I was to gather evidence on an individual reported by the local population as being under heretical influence in an industrial settlement under the name of Charrun, some five thousand and thirty-seven miles from the Precinct exclusion zone. My role was to identify the individual in question, as well as any accomplices they may have, then determine their guilt and provide the Emperor's Judgement accordingly.


REPORT COMMENCES.

I landed in Charrun, around two miles from where the activity was reported to have taken place. Not wishing for my targets to know of my presence here - at least not until I could get a handle of their number and equipment - my initial arrival was out of official uniform. I wore a nondescript longcoat and a concealed flak vest. My hellpistol and shock maul had been arranged to be at a dead drop three hours after touchdown, so as to not attract attention to myself if I used my status to carry weaponry on board an imperial transport and thus arouse unnecessary suspicion. I was unarmed for a period of three hours, a period of which I made use of immediately.


The individual I approached outside of the station was a male, around in his sixties. He was lurched forward and clutching his hands. I assumed he was a retired factory worker, and so made him my first target.

Subject 1. Dialogue begins:
AD Jallus: Excuse me sir - me and my family have just been transferred to this sector. I was wondering if you could perhaps help me with the local area?
Unidentified Male: Piss off.

First contact went about as well as expected. Was not in uniform or displaying any Precinct imagery at the time. Subject nevertheless guilty of verbal assault on a representative of the Emperors' Law. Found male's identity and later arrested after assignment was complete.


ADDENDUM - JOKK HAFS - GUILTY OF BREACH OF THE ADEPTUS TERRA CHAPLINSKY VIOLATION, SACRED LAW OF HOLY TERRA - SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS HARD LABOUR. MAY THE EMPEROR'S JUSTICE BALANCE ALL ACCOUNTS.


Leaving the man to his business, I was at this point half an hour into my time, so began making my way to the dead drop location, still posing as a transferred factory worker attempting to get ground in the area. Eventually, I managed to approach another individual, well away from the crowds. A female, apparently around ten to twelve years old, though somewhat weathered in appearance. As noted in past reports, children poor at deception and thus good targets for routing their elder's heresies.


As I approached, my gut feeling was one of distrust and perhaps even hatred. There was something unnatural about this girl, though I ignored my natural instinct and nevertheless addressed her.

Subject 2. Dialogue begins:
AD Jallus: Excuse me...

-at this point, subject is startled and turns to view me, scrutinizing me. I react with an expression of confusion, before continuing.-

AD Jallus: Are you alright? Has someone hurt you?

-subject watches me a moment, then turns and flees. Prior reported feeling of hatred dies down as she leave immediate area. Will cover later.-

Subject later found to be one Adrena Faria. Subject will be covered in full later in report.


ADDENDUM - ADRENA FARIA - GUILTY OF REFUSAL TO COOPERATE WITH AN OFFICER OF THE ADEPTUS ARBITES, A LAW SACRED TO HOLY TERRA - PARDONED BY ARBITRATOR DETECTIVE KAZYMANDERAS JALLUS OF BASTION-4 PRECINCT (PAPERWORK PENDING).


Put off at this point by two separate individuals, I instead watched from afar - I did not wish to seem too insistent, lest I draw suspicion. The men of the local factories all seemed to meet at a local establishment, later found to be a bar. Some others, seemingly knowing each other, made their way through the alley streets towards some common destination, though at this point I could not be sure as to their motivation and did not wish to follow in case of discovery.

I soon reached my dead drop location, which was also to be my quarters for the evening. The civilian stationed at the boarding house did not mention anything of any strange goings-on occurring anywhere near the vicinity of my room, and so I would like to personally commend the organisers of the drop for their subtly and discretion with this matter. Now having obtained my equipment, I concealed both beneath my coat and secured the door. I rested for three hours before waking and monitoring the immediate surroundings of the place. Three men were out after curfew, though this was a local law and thus not of my concern. Forward this information onto the local law enforcement of the area for use at their discretion.

I decided to visit the establishment from the previous night. Nearly all males were gone from the immediate area, all on factory detail. I was asked twice by a local policing enforcer by the name of Adrin Karin why I was not in my assigned workspace. Managed to convince him that I had yet to be assigned one and that the paperwork was pending, and that as a good citizen of the Imperium I was instead familiarising myself with my immediate surroundings in order to be a more productive citizen with the time the Emperor had granted me.


ADDENDUM - PATROLMAN ADRIN KARIN OF CHARRUN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT - COMMENDATION FOR STRINGENT ADHERENCE TO PROTOCOL FROM ARBITRATOR DETECTIVE KAZYMANDERAS JALLUS.

ADDENDUM - PATROLMAN ADRIN KARIN OF CHARRUN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT - FOUND GUILTY OF REPEATED HARASSMENT OF AN ADEPTUS ARBITES REPRESENTATIVE - SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS SERVICE IN A PENAL REGIMENT OF THE IMPERIUM AS ATONEMENT. MAY THE EMPEROR'S JUSTICE BALANCE ALL ACCOUNTS.


Second day was found to be mostly unproductive. Met no individuals on street up until around the same time as previous night, then all subjects went home and the streets were again deserted. Establishment was closed, as the day was a planet-wide holy day.

Confused at this point. If heretical behaviour were to be taking place, now would be the time, while the good Emperor-fearing citizens were off the streets. No further activity reported this night. Went to quarters and prayed for one hour, before resting for five.

Sleep was interrupted by heavy knocking on the door, and then sound of heavy blunt instrument butting at door in an attempt to bring it down. Failed on account of bed being pressed against door as I slept on the carpet, as per my usual procedure.

Quickly rose. Dialogue commences.

Subject A (Male): Come out, witch-lover! We know you're in there!

Upon hearing this confusing demand, I moved the bed, unholstered my hellpistol, then opened the door. One of the men was armed with an autogun, the others with clubs.


ADDENDUM - THREE UNIDENTIFIED MALES (STILL UNKNOWN, FACIAL FEATURES HEAVILY COMPROMISED) - FOUND GUILTY OF POSSESSION OF UNAUTHORISED WEAPON AND UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION OF HERESY ON ADEPTUS ARBITES OFFICER - SENTENCED TO IMMEDIATE EXECUTION.


Honestly satisfied that I had dispensed the Emperor's Justice for the first time in around 48 hours, I moved to escape from the window into the street below. The early morning hours made no betrayal of my movement, and so I managed to weave my way into an alleyway to collect myself for several seconds before once again departing.

Previous subject had referred to me as a "witch lover". Had only interacted with two females so far, one desk clerk who was possibly at this point collecting the three male's brain matter from her comfortable carpet, and one girl who I disliked from the offset. Went for second.

I made my way back to the station I had arrived at, keeping an eye out for the woman in the crowd. However, I spotted her almost instantly, entirely separate once again from the populace and sat down leaning against an alleyway wall. As I made my way over, two young boys also seemed to have a similar idea, though picked up rocks and began throwing them in her general direction. Mother soon arrived. Dialogue commences.

-Children's Mother: You two! Get here, now! Don't touch her - she is cursed!-

Unfortunately did not apprehend the two minors for assault as the woman stood at this point and began running away. Walked around alley corner and then gave chase. Once again gained feeling of unease and dislike as I entered her immediate vicinity. Was thinking at this point possible Chaos corruption, and grabbed her as she began to tire.

Dialogue commences.
AD Jallus: Imperial citizen, I am hereby detaining you under the both authority of the Adeptus Arbites of Holy Terra and the God-Emperor himself. If you attempt to escape, you hereby damn yourself to heresy and deny yourself any rights, and will be immediately subject to the Emperor's Justice. Do you understand this?
-subject nodded once. Beginning to get impression of speech impediment. Mutation?-

At this moment, a crowd of men came around the corner. I immediately cast aside my coat, displaying my flak vest with official Adeptus Arbites badge, as well as brandishing my hellpistol and shock maul.

Was not recognised, as area is far outside of precinct's usual jurisdiction and education is uncommon in area.


ADDENDUM - LARGE GROUP OF YOUTHS, IDENTITIES PENDING - GUILTY OF FAILURE TO RECOGNISE AUTHORITY OF ADEPTUS ARBITES - SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE LIGHT VERBAL WARNING.


Dialogue commences.
AD Jallus: I uphold the Emperor's Justice. Disperse before I kill you all.
-several subjects at this point began to leave. The woman made one step away from me, though I yanked her with some force so that she instead fell to the floor. Perhaps pulled too hard. Still had unexplained hatred of girl. Girl made no further attempts to leave.-

Requisitioned immediate transport from station, now under no guise of cover and superstitious locals in tow. Immediately let in medical transport heading to residence at which I had been staying after I informed the operators the individuals reported to them would not be requiring their services.

Arrived at Bastion-4, suspect in custody.


Subject ADRENA FARIAH subjected to Chastener interrogation, though immediately talks for the first time and says she will only talk to me. I volunteer in order to save the Chastener time, as there is a heretic two cell blocks over in dire need of correctional procedure as he still retains the ability to walk. Despite my gut feeling, I did not allow this to influence what little I could ask. I had an urge halfway between smashing the girl's face in and simply getting up and leaving with no intention of returning. Though this unnatural feeling held me in its grip, I thought only of the Emperor and forged on.

Dialogue commences.
AD Jallus: I am Detective Kazymanderas Jallus, of the Adeptus Arbites. What is your name, subject?
-subject hesitates for a moment, then answers.-
Fariah: A-a-..Adrena... Ad-adrena Faria.
-I scrutinise her a moment, before continuing.-
AD Jallus: Are you a witch, Adrena?
-she frowns.-
Fariah: That's... that is the word that everyone... calls me.
AD Jallus: Is it true?
-long period of subject hesitation-

At this moment, sounds one cell block over interrupted. Left room, securing it behind me, before waiting for two others to be present before opening the cell block door, as per protocol. Took one minute, by which time noises had stopped. Entered block with two Arbitrators in tow. Room was covered in blood on the right hand wall, all from prisoner inside. Blood made an imprint exactly same profile as the prisoner, who was currently convulsing on the ground and attempting to claw his way back up to the wall. Further investigation saw that the prisoner's facial features were disfigured and the top layer of skin on his front appeared to have been scraped off on the wall, also reducing his clothing to frayed rags.

He seemed to be attempting to press his body as far as he could from the block on the room's left, which was the current assigned resident of subject ADRENA FARIAH. Upon request of information, prisoner in cell was found to be a psyker of extreme minor classification and accused heretic.

Requested immediate relocation, at which he thanked us in desperate fashion and offered to tell all he knows as long as he was kept away from the room on the other side. This request was fulfilled after all information was extracted, as he was later burned in a disposal facility for sensitive objects on the other side of the planet some three days later.

Did not believe the girl a heretic. Not out of foolish notion that I feel heresy is in any way shape or form affected by the age of the subject - but simply did not believe it, despite theories of colleagues.

At this point was unsure as how to proceed. Resident Imperial Sanctioned Pysker Fallonus van Dremm would not approach thirty foot radius of subject to offer evaluation, citing extreme uncomfortableness. Nose was bleeding. Suggested his mutation was not being seen to with enough due prayer and faith.

No other individuals nearby offered expertise in field of subject.

Decided against contacting the Judge or Planetary Governor in case he felt the Inquisition would react in the form of *REDACTED*. Instead went straight to Inquisition itself. Response was prompt, within 79 days.

-THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE AUTHORITY OF JUDGE AUDONIS GAVIK UNDER ORDER OF THE ORDO HERETICUS. THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE EYES OF ARBITRATOR DETECTIVE KAZYMANDERAS JALLUS ALONE. MAY THE EMPEROR PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF THIS DOCUMENT.-


Arbitrator Detective,
You have performed admirably in the Emperor's service. Not only have you performed your mission, but you have exacted the Emperor's holy judgement on all who have failed him as you have done so. You are truly an exemplar to your order, and thus I have deliberated your findings with this in mind. What you have on your hands in the form of the "female subject" - the young Miss Adrena Fariah - is not a heretical influence, though this of course, will be confirmed by your Verispex department after I have forwarded them the appropriate information they require to "test".

If the Inquisitor's suspicion is correct, you are in possession of what is known as a "Blank". This will be elaborated on in person, soon enough... this brings me to the second purpose of this response.

While you are, doubtless, capable of investigation and undermining heresy under the shadows in which it hides, I am beginning to feel that after looking over your previous missions that you are quite wasted in your current role. Your records say you have never been off-world prior to arriving from the Schola Progenium. This is simply a waste of resources. Your distrust and scrutiny of the Planetary Governor and your direct superior intrigues the Inquisitor, who wishes to make you a proposition.

Documents for immediate induction of Miss Fariah into Schola Progenium basic schooling and transfer to your personal custody as an advisory role within the Adeptus Arbites once training is complete can be found overleaf, as well as your own documentation for immediate rank change from Arbitrator Detective to an Enforcer of the Adeptus Arbites.

You have three days to rest your affairs, after which you are to await further instruction from the Inquisitor. Pray to the Emperor, so that you may continue to serve him as well as you have in the past.

Sincerely,
Felmin Savvador, Personal Aide to Inquisitor Trennis Jakorson of the Ordo Hereticus.
