They''d die either way. Being a mutant must be worse than death,</i> and so on and so forth. In reality, I just couldn''t be bothered. I was on a new, in an alien body, and eating them gave me power and pushed my expiration date back a few days.
I had ughtered innocent people for nothing but selfishness and to satisfy my greed.</i>
What''s done is done. I don''t have to do anything like that again...unless I starve.</i>
"Agreement: Should the Inquisitor''s capability also overshadow my expectations, I am willing to match it in value."</b>
"Query: What exactly are you offering in return for some of my samples?"</b>
"That is far outside of the recorded capabilities of any Psyker of the Biomancy School."</b>
Will you report me to the Inquisition</i>?" I finished with a slight sneer.
"Understanding: Each of us has some... peculiarities, Inquisitor. I am more than willing to overlook yours if it aids me in my quest for knowledge, though I''d appreciate thisboratory remaining... undisclosed."</b>
elegant</i>.
"Agreement: Hiding it from you would have been counterproductive as my first request would be your assistance in seeing whether you can make the genome of this specimen more stable."</b>
"I do not want insect DNA contaminating it, Inquisitor."</b>
"Agreeable: It is not a rare sample, so consider that done, Inquisitor."</b>
"I have some samples that were... challenging to get ahold of. I''d like you to replicate them."</b>
"Peculiar,... if you demonstrate your capability of replicating said samples perfectly on some less valuable ones before, I have no qualms about that."</b>
"The Crotalid sample is among the ones I''d like for you to replicate. I assume the process of replicating grants you an understanding of the sample, so that should be sufficientpensation."</b>
"I have prepared the Ambull sample,"</b> one of his thick mechanical tendrils peaks out from under his robes and it carries a sealed metalloid box, <b>"This should also serve as a great test for your replication capabilities, as I assume you haven''t had the opportunity to extensively study an Ambull before, correct?"</b>
"Fascinating."</b> His synthetic voice sounded out as he was cutting apart one of the new samples, "<b>A perfect replica, down to the cellr level and I assume the DNA too... yes it is."</b>
"You haven''t done so already?"</b> the Magos asks, <b>"I''d have assumed you''d havee in contact with the Eldar already as a member of the Ordo Xenos."</b>
"Understanding: Indeed, memory is a finite resource, and we can never have enough of it."</b>
"I can provide you with a separated smallerboratory in which I will cease observations."</b>
Now then, let''s see what you are hiding, you little beauty.</i>
