V4B: Mission #5 Objective

++++ RECON ++++

The opposing forces have retreated and are currently at bay, at least for the time being, investigations of these Imperial crates may have proved to be a bit more fruitful than previous ones. A thorough search revealed that these crates were newly deployed, and are not just property of the Imperium, but the Inquisition specifically. All sorts of Inquisition paraphernalia was recovered; Imperial propaganda, materials for laminations and Inquisition rituals, specialize xenos restraints, specialized xenos cages, and a handful of books on Inquisition protocol, but nothing so much as hinting at what this illusive “red dog” might be.

Not surprising that the crates were Inquisition in nature, as the planet of St. Capilene was once bastion of for Imperial missionary work before being devastated by the Hive Fleet Levitation invasion of 997.M41. Perhaps more clues can be found at an abandoned Inquisitorial outpost newly found by forward scouts, located in the mountains more than a few days from here. Scouts also report enemy activity in the area.
