"The Rangda are the only race the Emperor has been stalling out against. They are humanities greatest threat that we know of, their dark technology, their insidious brutal nature, their slough overlords- everything about them is wrong." Titus says
"And So are the Ganth, the Drukharii and the Black Judges. Merely asshole tech being used on assholes." Frank says.
"What about the cost on the wielder? The Psyker that needs to wield it?" Titus says and Frank scoffs
"We got 4 plus your two, plus maybe one or two psyker individuals that may be willing to help" Frank says and you raise an eyebrow
"Plus one or two psyker individuals? Who are they?" You ask and Frank looks around briefly.
"Let's just say that some people are not so sure if it's good that they have it." Frank states, and you hope that doesn't mean that he is secretly a psyker.
"What if I use it?" You ask
"Well you are weird with the technology, I guess you could use it." Frank says and Titus makes an exhasperated noise
"AND IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER, HAVE YOU TOLD HIM WHAT THOSE THINGS DO?" Titus shouts
"It will deal out justice. If they are innocent we'll know. Do you even know what this does? Or does the word 'Rangda' scare you that much Titus? You know what scares me? Dying a slave. Dying in bondage. To me that is worse than the Rangda, and don't act like I haven't seen that boogieman before. If we go after the slavers I will not have to worry about dying a slave. " Frank says tersely.
"I don't know what it does. I'd rather know what it would do before we use-" And before you can finish your sentence Perturabo takes the object from Franks hand and examines it and then tosses it back to Frank.
"It seems a bit, eccentric. A device that maps a beings entire brain and subjects it to all of it's fears, failings and pains and brings it to the surface every time a person lies. There surely has to be an easier way to do this." Perturabo says looking to you.
"See is that so bad Titus? It doesn't seem like that-"
