Everyone gathered for the execution. The Archivist had already begun reading the sentence:
-Lynx, you have been sentenced to death on charges of…
- NO!!!! – the Inquisitor interrupted the archivist. – Only Spear dies today!!!!
He snatched a pistol from the hands of the nearest soldier, aimed, and pulled the trigger. An instant later, the bullet pierced Spear's head and hit the wall with a clang. Everyone was bewildered. A shot from such a pistol should have blown the head to shreds. But Spear only laughed.
- Fools!! I thought I could play you for longer. But I will have to kill you all here!!!
An incredible wave of psychic energy suppressed everyone. Some fled in mad terror, others lay on the floor in convulsions. The Space Marines quickly realized what was happening. The Chaplain began to recite a prayer, the Master gripped his hammer tighter, and the other Space Marines opened fire for own destruction. This monster had to be stopped at any cost. Bolter shells pierced armor like a sheet of paper, but the demon only laughed loudly. With incredible speed, he lunged into the nearest group of people, tearing apart everyone who came within reach.
DIE DEMON!!!! – shouted the Master. In a few quick strides, he crossed the distance separating them and knocked the demon down with a crushing blow of his hammer. With the next strike, the cursed creature was beheaded.
The room was immediately vacated. Cleanup squads began their work. The body of the demon and all the unfortunate souls killed by him had to be burned in sacred flame. Among these unfortunate ones was Tox. His mechanical body could not protect him from the demon's mad rage.

Act II. Collapse of Ideals

Information that the Great Enemy had penetrated the very heart of the invasion fleet struck many with fear. The impregnable fortress, which was supposed to inspire the soldiers of the Imperium, was the first to be defiled by a demon.
Like a cancerous tumor through an organism, this news spread among the people. Many whispered that a true Hell awaited them on the planet. That the Chaos Gods themselves had cast their gaze upon this system… that nothing awaited the people here but death.
The morale of the troops was plummeting before their eyes. Commissars were given the right to shoot people on the spot for spreading such heresy. The Iterators also had many concerns. Raising the morale of the Imperials became a paramount task, otherwise the entire operation faced failure.

Lynx could not be found anywhere. It was said that she was last seen with some man in a mask.

WisTrit , meanwhile, sat at a lecture in the armory. Today's topic was about the nuances of firing from a heavy bolter, an assault bolter, and a bolt-pistol.

Recent events showed that it is better to keep weapons in excellent condition at all times. Therefore, Neyra decided to check hers once more and discovered that the sight was off. Apparently, someone had taken the weapon without her permission.

Dragneel enjoyed the silence in the remote corners of the ship. He didn't even expect to meet a warrior in white armor here. After exchanging a few phrases, they each went their own way.

Arandor had just finished training and decided to walk through the corridors of the battle barge. To him, this ship had become the embodiment of unwavering strength and superiority, even despite this incident. He became so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone slowly approaching him.
- Brother, renounce your views!! And the Emperor will forgive you!
- There is no Emperor!!! He is nothing more than a corpse on the Golden Throne. I will never believe your words!!!
That was enough:
- Rejoice! May the joy of battle fill us! Let our enemies fear us, for we are the Emperor's wrath! May the Emperor direct His fury through us against His enemies!
- I'll make you shut up!!!
In the next second, Arandor lunged at his rival, but every step became harder. Some incredible force emanated from his target. Electricity went out in an entire section of the ship. Darkness enveloped everything. And Arandor was horrified when he saw that his opponent's eyes burned with blue flame, and energy sparkled around him with lightning. He held some object in his hands, but its outlines were impossible to see because of the bright light emanating from it. Arandor could no longer stand normally on his feet. An invisible force pressed down on him, and he had to lean against the wall. In the next moment, a powerful blow to the chest knocked him over. The armor cracked, and some parts simply flew off to the side. Arandor was already dead. Strangely, bolts of energy engraved several red birds onto the corridor walls.

Xostor had been busy all day today. And when a minute of free time appeared, he decided to spend it in the observation hall. When he arrived at his destination, he found that he would not be alone. Deciding not to be distracted by another connoisseur of art, he began looking at paintings on the other side of the hall. Soon their paths crossed near one of the paintings. Passing by Xostor, the killer, with a swift turning motion, beheaded the latter. Not a single drop of blood stained the precious canvases. Clean work, no witnesses.

After the incident with the demon, Zybr decided to deliver a speech that was supposed to raise the army's morale. He could certainly make a good impression. As soon as he stepped into the ship's corridors, several shots rang out. Past experience and flawless skills allowed him to dodge the flying projectiles, only scratching his armor. But the killer was apparently no amateur either and realized that if he didn't change tactics, he would have to flee. Choosing the vulnerable joints of the kneepads as priority targets, he eventually managed to immobilize Zybr. Now he posed less of a danger, and the killer decided to show himself.
- Traitor...!!! How could you…
- Silence!! And you'll live a few seconds longer. You could have achieved more if you understood our ideas…
- More?!?! There is nowhere lower to fall…
The killer realized he would hear nothing interesting and fired the final shot.
- Pity... I was speaking seriously… – Out of respect for his fallen opponent, the killer took out several flowers and threw them on the lifeless body.

Several information tablets were delivered to the command bridge:

"Rejoice! May the joy of battle fill us! Let our enemies fear us, for we are the Emperor's wrath!
This night the Emperor's fury strikes our enemies!
I call upon my brothers, Commander T.O. or an Apothecary to assist me in this!
Xostor did not doubt the Emperor.
Chaplain"

"pssh pssh -"Base, respond, over, base" psssh -"Private ... reporting pssh.. -"Xostor's weapon is - pssshhh -ish" pssh psssh... "


"Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin
Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!"

"Scouted. Hossi wears women's underwear and energy weapons."

"Visited Xostor for a friendly chat. He quite often expressed his distrust of the Emperor's truths, but yesterday I realized exactly how deep he had sunk into heresy! Xostor is loyal to Chaos, and he must be destroyed!
May the Emperor protect us!
Chaplain"


"1. Inquisitor, did you act this way to save your own or so that the city would spend another day on a possible heretic while your people liquidate the rest? Although what am I saying, after all, your goal is the struggle against demons who threaten you and whom you are obliged to destroy. In any case, I liked your move, I approve.
2. Master, perhaps you should take an example from the respected inquisitor? Decisive and brave, he does not negotiate with enemies but destroys them immediately. After all, that is exactly what we should be doing. Although you and the chaplain are more likely to make mistakes and kill your own people rather than the same enemies of the imperium. Because of people like you, the soldiers' faith in the Emperor grows weaker, since He allows such as you to hold the position of master, after which our enemies seize their minds. I have always been interested in how that happens...
3. Fifth, my brother, are you jealous of me? But why? Do you see how the other brothers treat me? And for what is all this? To help a master who doesn't give a damn about you? By becoming first, I gained nothing, but only lost the respect of my brothers. But no matter, perhaps soon I will become master myself and won't forget you. I saw you in battle and know that you are a good fighter worthy of a high rank.
