Location: Archimedes IV

Subject: The Genestealer Cult

    I inquisitor Kane here by record the following in my efforts to protect and ensure the survival of the Empire in his Name.

    Apon the world of Archimedes IV I was given information of a possible Genestealer infestation being lead by an imperial citizen named Grovis. This citizens ambition was to deliver the world to the clutches of the Tyranid hive fleets, which he refereed to as "Star Gods".
    After locating incriminating evidence in the domicile of Grovis showing maps and times for meetings of the cult in the bowls of the Archimedes IV underworld, I and my party descended into the forgotten bowels of the planet. Here we met the heretics face to face and engaged them, including 2 pure bread Genestealers which almost proved my undoing as I was forced into hand to hand with the monstrosity. It was at this time that the enemy was in its element, ripping and shredding at me with its claws. In the encounter I lost my left arm below the elbow as I lifted it in a futile effort to ward off the blow that ruined the upper right quarter of my head and face. The one thing this beast did not count on though was my Emperor granted iron will and unshakable devotion, as with my fading strength I reached up and forced my hand into the open bolter wound on the side of its head I had opened earlier, and launched a devastating mental attack, cracking the things carapace and head in its final moments. Apon dispatching these heretical threats I and my companions made our way into the lair of the cult, just as they completed a blasphemous ritual to try to summon the Hive Fleet to Archimedes IV. It was at this time that I granted to Emperors mercy to all within the lair, Men; Women; and Children. Emperor be praised all evidence located showed we had caught the cult in its earlier stages and this strike was enough to eradicate their threat to the Imperium.
