    I inquisitor Kane here by record the following in my efforts to protect and ensure the survival of the Empire in his Name.
    Sister Venria, after getting a report of a squad of Sisters pinned down in a gang infested area of Fortis Prime, requested the assistance of myself, Forious, and Rat in helping to extract the Sisters, and to recover the stolen Rhino transport they were attempting to recover. 
    Apon arrival, we where able to successfully relieve the Sisters by cowing down the gang members, ensuring them that if they did not desist immediately they would spend the remainder of their days in duty to the Emperor as mindless servitors. After interrogating a wounded gang member we uncovered that the gang was attempting to steal the rhino to use as a transport for something their leader had uncovered in a seldom used mine, Excavation Site Theta-9.
    Disguising ourselves in the rags of the gang we instead to the rhino to this mine, determined what was so important to a group of low life gangers to have them risk an assault on the Emperors good Sisters. Once their we affected out entry, with the gang member none the wiser, and with the help of a distraction caused by the rupture of a gas pipe at the entrance, we made our way deeper into the mine. Here we found yet more gang members, and of all things, Bonehead Ogryns that seemed to have forgotten their loyalty to the Emperor. After chasing this rabble from the field, we again continued our way in deeper, where we found the leader, and something that made the blood run cold. A Dark Eldar Web Gate. And worse still the leader was attempting to activate it. We engaged the gang killing both the members that stood their ground and the Ogryn they brought with them. Unfortunately, Forious efforts to destroy the Web gate where to no avail as the leader was able to activate it, its purple green energy crackling to life as he cackled in glee. This was short ived how ever as a spear through out through the gateway, impaling him to give him his deserved fate. After this the nightmare that is Dark Eldar started pour from the gate way. An entire raiding party, numbering in the dozens, pouring through to sate their sick depravities. We had no choice but to run, hoping to escape to warn Fortis Prime to ready their defense. Luckily this was not required, as the Sisters we had rescued from the ambush earlier roused their fellow troupes and the Astra Militarum so when we emerged, we found them already set in defensive positions as a precaution around the mouth of the mine. Soon after our exite, hot on our heels, came the Dark Eldar, pouring from the mine in a frenzy of depravity; the battle of Excavation Site Theta-9 was on.
