Transmission from Inquisitor Drake to the acolytes

Acolytes,
I have reviewed the information retrieved from Breaker. It appears to be connected to a heretical sect that flourished here some three hundred years ago. The Illuminated Brethren held that the common man should be educated and taught to read the Imperial Scripture, and that debate and discussion were a valid path to understanding. Laudable as these goals may seem to some, the Brethrens’ goal was to spread heresy and dissent.

The Illuminated Brethren were shattered by the Inquisition two centuries ago, but splinters of the sect continue to endure on some worlds. The documents you found suggest that connections between these shards are being re-established. We must act now to cut the head from this revenant.

Three courses of investigation present themselves.

Primus, the retrieved document mentioned that ‘Vant’ is ‘close to opening the basilica’. The Illuminated Brethren had a sanctum on the Hive World of Constanthus – they may have returned to that place of power.

Secondus, Breaker was recently visited by a Chartist trade-ship, the Blessing of St. Gustavius. The same vessel was at Constantus two hundred years ago. If there are Illuminated Brethen on board, they may have spread their heresy to Carric.

Tertius, there are few enough Adeptus Mechanicus in the subsector. The renegade of Mars must be known to the other tech-priests. Their fortress world at San Valuso may be an excellent starting point.

Choose your path and take the Ocula Imperatus immediately. Brook no delay - I wish to contain this outbreak before it grows.

Drake
