The Lost Dataslate 2 Honoured Madam Inquisitor Leta,

It has been several long days since the last transmission from our agent. It pains me to say so, but we must assume the mission into the Lathes was unsuccessful, especially given the threatening and cryptic nature of the final transmission. This bodes ill for the Ordos, and our contingency plans should the Fulcrum Directive prove necessary.

All would not appear lost however. The Emperor was surely with His servant during the mission’s termination, for we were gifted with a battered data-slate that was delivered via an unknown courier. It was almost marked for disposal when one of my more perceptive Acolytes noticed a series of small, otherwise unremarkable etches along the side. These matched our missing agent’s vox encryption base code, and prompted intensive inquiry into the slate’s contents.

It lasted many candles, but we have managed to peel away layers of dross consisting of endless harvest reports to reveal carefully buried data. While it is not complete, it would appear our agent managed to gather together portions as a measure against an unsuccessful return. The images and data included may still allow the Holy Ordos to better prepare our sector for the eventuality that the Cult of the Machine turns against us. Their forces grow in power with each year, and such power will not sit idle for long. Only preemptive measures can ensure the safety of the Calixis Sector and our own Holy Mission as directed by the Emperor Himself.

In His Name and for His Glory,

Karolious, Hereticus
