Summary
The Lord Captain, from what little time Cassia'd had to speak with them, had seemed kind and accommodating. Their promise to do anything they could to facilitate her adjustment to her new life aboard the Sanguine Wind had struck her as completely genuine, which is why she's willing to brave the clamor of the bridge. A question has been nagging at her about the Lord Captain since their first meeting, and she hopes receiving an answer might put at least this one consternation of hers to rest.

Summary
Without any real thought Gale curled his fingers to summon a magical flame, instinctually seeking some bit of light and heat and life to accompany him in this desolate place. Nothing answered his call; the spell smothered in its crib with cold, slick fingers. Though nothing changed, he felt colder, even more unwelcome. He had tried to bring vitality to a place antagonistic to the concept, and in doing so drawn whatever wrath this place might manifest further down upon himself. There were no shadows here, lit as it was by a constant, unknowable source of light. But he felt hemmed in by hungry shadows all the same.
He kept walking. He did not know what else to do.
And in between one step and the next, just as surely as there had been nothing, there was something. Two figures equidistant, not far from him, both still.
One he knew, and one he did not.

Summary
He was skulking.
Hardly his favorite form of information gathering, but needs must. He’d tried listening in through the vox network at first, but found the comm lines that served the Navigator’s sanctum too well isolated and too regularly purified by the tech-priests for his modifications to go unnoticed long. After that failure, he’d moved to placing physical recording devices within the sanctum but found that, too, unsatisfactory. When he’d returned to collect the hidden dataslates, he’d found them dark and lifeless, their machine-spirits having long since fled, unable to withstand the glow of the Immaterium that so often bathed the room. And thus, he was reduced to the oldest and lowest form of information gathering, the one he favored the least – skulking outside the door like an unwanted child. At least his biomancy allowed him to sharpen his hearing enough that he was not forced to crouch on the ground and press his ear to whatever slight gaps he might find between door and bulkhead. A small mercy.
The subjects of this hasty and unpleasant investigation were the Lord Captain and Lady Navigator themselves.

Summary
Heinrix was preparing for bed when the call came. The croaking of the vox dragged him unceremoniously from his nighttime meditations – those quiet moments in the evening where he might pour all his focus into bodily repair and maintenance. A blunted weapon, after all, did no one any favors.
He rose to its insistent call, displeased at the disturbance but aware of the way the crew shrank from the very sight of him. They would not dare bother him unless the message were something of import, and even then would likely draw straws to determine which unfortunate would be stuck with the duty.
He silenced the alarm with the push of a button. “Report,” he barked tersely into the receiver.
