Revered Sirs:
It is with the gravest urgency I write to you concerning my investigations on St. Theresa. My initial suspicions of daemonic intrusion and cult activity in the capital city Desmunda revealed an all too familiar pattern of both contact with, and worship of the Ruinious Powers. Subsequent entreaties for help from the Governor, Hon. Kaleph Polesk, led to his own assassination when he deployed the PDF and requested aid from the Tallern 14th Cavalry Regt., which was en route to Callidan VII. My full and detailed report of this action is in appendix A of the attached documents.
Two weeks following the initiation of fighting, Brother Ezekiel of the Dark Angels Chapter made planetfall with a full company of the Dark Angels at his disposal. At that time, forces under my effective command included the entire PDF (see Appendix A, subsets 3&4) , the 3rd Squadron of the Tallern 14th Armoured Cavalry, my personal house troops, and elements of The Order of The Bloody Rose Adeptus Sororitas. Brother Ezekiel agreed to coordinate his forces with my own at only such time as he felt convenient. Assaults by the Dark Angels were welcome and often effective, but I could help but speculate that Brother Ezekiel was focusing on another objective and gave scant thought to what I felt to be our immediate challenge in the face of constant attack by traitor Space Marines, cultists and daemons.
A reading of the Emperor's Tarot yesterday confirmed my deepest fears: the Despoiler himself has noticed this world, and he is coming to take it for his own. A daemon of Khorne, whose name is only whispered among us, has been revealed to be stalking us even at this moment. I related my findings to Brother Ezekiel, and his former reticence at cooperation has been dispelled. The leadership of the full chapter has been summoned, and the Deathwing is assembling as I write. Yet, I fear this will not be enough. The Grey Knights must be summoned. I sense that a warp breach into this world is building, and may be imminent. If we are to avoid a catastrophe, and even an Exterminatus, we must act with alacrity. The hour is late, and we are hard pressed. I await your wisdom in this hour of need.
For The Emperor
