RECIPIENT: Inquisitor Irulian Deckaard
Greeting Inquisitor,
I am in dire need of you to redirect immediately. I realize the numerous piratical Eldar raids in the Cuuris system has had your attentions lately and their bizarre nature had piqued your curiousity while also boiling your blood. I fear the question they have handed us will have to wait. It is quite the quandary that the only correlation between victims abducted is that they were born on years in which there happened to be a solar eclipse, but I absolutely need your hands on another matter.
In the southwestern outskirts of our sector lies the Soktov system which has found itself the most recent victim of a far adrift splinter of hive fleet Leviathian. Neighboring systems have already begun requesting aid and bolstering defenses. Soktov III, whose detailed files have been made available to you, has long had an Inquisitorial research station positioned on its surface. This station is far from Soktov III's recent agrarian colony complex and this is for good reason. The colonists are only permitted to operate on their assigned parcels of land and travel to the southern continents is prohibited. These two continents are spotted with strange obelisks and pyramidal structures believed to be of Xenos origin and ancient in nature. This outpost has been collecting data and processing structure material and soil samples as well as excavations by Inquisitorially sanctioned Xeno-archaeologists.
You should also be made aware that since near system probes have been reading signals of the Tyranid fleet and transmitting information into and out system, programming seconded to the Inquisition outpost have been compiling and collating strange sensor readings and many false flags ready by the meager orbital defense platforms, trade and transportation ships as well as patrolling Navy vessels. A conclusion about these signals cannot be made at this time as to their origin, but there certainly is a pattern. The signals began outside of the system and seem to be occurring more frequently the closer the Tyranid fleet gets, but almost seem to mirror its approach. One can only pray they are nothing of note.
At the time of writing this the the Tyranid hive fleet is thirty days from from Soktov III and you are the closest Inquisitorial agent I can call upon. I know you are a capable servant of the Throne and I am sure this mission is in secure in your hands.
Regards and the Emperor Protects,
Lord Inquisitor Garrilus

Lord Inquisitor,
Forgive my brevity. The Tyranid invasion is well underway in initial stages.
Objective Primaris and Tertiarius complete. The latter made manifest by the entry and landing of second Xenos threat on Soktov III. Necron, type. Reasons undetermined. Objective Primaris data suggests Necron Artifacts. Possible Tomb world. Warp traces suggested in soil sample. Carbon dated back 15,000 years. The Necrons made land fall nearby IRP:33024 and engaged Tyranid organisms. My own forces wholly ignored, curiously. Data en route, much of which suggests 92% similarity to noted Maynarkh dynasty of which I am unfamiliar. Proceeding with completing of Objective Secundus.
The Emperor Protects,
Inquisitor Deckaard
