Quoted By:
You instruct your men to approach them openly as Imperial Fists, to try and convince them to come with The Emperor’s Angels of Death, to live a life among the stars where they will not be persecuted for their strange abilities that draw the ire of the people around them. A life where they will be taught to use their abilities, instead of them erupting uncontrollably and dooming them to a life of seclusion, isolation, or even death at the hands of an angry mob.
Somehow it doesn’t go well. These people have heard of the Edict of Nikaea, and they are already suspicious towards any outsiders, the Emperor’s Angels or no. They won’t join some damn fool idealistic crusade, not when their lives are already at stake. Indeed, from what you gather it seems these people already expect to be taken away by some other force, and they are mor afraid of it than they are of you. At best you get a few children who enthusiastically agree, only to be refused by their parents and caretakers who jealously guard what little they have in the world.
It looks like they won’t go meekly. You can order your men to kidnap them regardless, but that would risk blowing your cover, while also angering these supposed civilians. Alternatively, you can kidnap a few specimens for experiments, psykers are rare and even among the librarius their abilities are not fully understood, though you doubt you’ll get anything immediately usable from them.
<span class="mu-s">What will you do?</span>
>Kidnap all of them. They are too valuable to pass up, and you have no guarantee you’ll fine more again.
>Take only a few for experimentation. It won’t risk your cover and you need to know more about these psykers.
>Leave. You won’t waste any more time with these witches.
