It's bond with Lazarus has also been strengthened, and it has promised to lend its power at a critical juncture in our mission, should such occur. \[Previous Logs\] -Servitors altered to contain psychic circuitry; contain the soul of [Palinea Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/palinea-traquielthe-golden "Palinea Traquiel (Status Uncertain)") -The Soul was initially placed into only one of the pair, indicating some ability to leverage synchronicity and create a hivemind of sorts; [Nepheli ](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/controller-nepheli-havelock "Nepheli Havelock")claims that no connection of this nature was physically installed between the two, and that some combination of being activated and in proximity to one another with the correct circuity was enough to facilitate the contagion. -It is an unavoidable consideration that Nepheli's creation of these Servitors in advance of [Quint's](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Quinten Cutter") recovery of Palinea's soul from the Immaterium was an expression of her capacity for Divination; given her lack of sanctioning, it cannot be certain that the source of this particular prediction was of a benevolent origin. This matter is further conflated with the conflicting evidence regarding Palinea's association with the Emperor or the Archenemy. -Recent behaviors of other Servitors in [Bluehull-92](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/chapter/bluehull-92 "Bluehull-92") (specifically, [witnesses claimed they were praying](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/bluehull-92-reported-anomolies "Bluehull-92 Reported Anomolies")) led to investigations into whether the prior existence of the possessed Sevitors could have been related. No connection was discovered, and reconfiguration of Servitor cogitators and networking appears to have solved the oddity. \[Heavy Encryption, access Limited to Ambassador Lethe and Logis Eizen -Per instructions, the Servitors remain intact and sequestered in the hidden holding cells below the [security station](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/security "Security"). Knowledge of their existence is limited to [myself](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/magos-logis-eizen-wakes-c53 "Logis Eizen VIIR c53"), the [ambassador](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/grand-ambassador-kelle-jocasta-lethe-traquiel "Lady Kelle Jocasta Lethe"), Specialist Quint, Controller Nepheli, and [Major St. Ardentia.](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/major-verity-st-ardentia "Major Verity St. Ardentia") -The Servitors networking capabilities with other, functional units had to be deactivated in response to reports of Servitors "praying," causing some unease among witnesses. Newly created Servitors with the same technology seem to network automatically to the originals. -Further interactions with the Servitors has yielded interesting observations: they occasionally sing traditional hymns to the God Emperor, while performing shadow plays to illustrate the events of the music. The respond to questioning, but with limited detail and material; most of their answers come from the [Prophecy of Golden Gaze](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-prophecy-of-golden-gaze "The Prophesy of Golden Gaze"), however they have also somehow quote the [prophecy](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/nephelis-prophecy "Nepheli's Prophecy") that Nepheli delivered to [Preacher Enoch](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/preacher-enoch-mantra-deceased "Preacher Enoch Mantra") prior to his integration into the retinue (specifically, the concepts linked were the "and twilight's gambit hath reached full noon" with "beware the seekers of unending days." -They have directly affirmed that they serve the God Emperor of Man, and assert that their purpose is "Truth." It is unclear whether this is due to their own intentions, or whether this has been swayed by the command given by Specialist Quint that resulted in the [Vision of Truth](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/vision-of-truth "Vision of Truth"). -The Golden reached out to Lazarus telepathically, revealing a dream they'd had of Fentley Rothay, overseer of the southern gasfields, who was soon to succumb to Heresy due to his cruel and petty enjoyments. They asserted that the operation would not be stalled by his death, and asked Specialist Quint to kill him. Quint confirmed the truth—or at least, believed truth—of the accusation by viewing the dream directly. He then infiltrated Rothay's offices and killed him; this operation occurred without consultation or official sanctioning from the company, but was at least entirely clandestine. After reporting this to the Golden, they named him a friend. -\[Feb 5 2025\] Ambassador Lethe experienced a dream in which she described walking through a prison block; in each cell was a Servitor with golden eyes, which watched her as they passed. -\[Mar 12 2025\] Lazarus was contacted by the Golden once again, and greeted as a friend; they asked him questions regarding his reason for assisting them, for which he replied that he felt guilty for having killed their previous incarnation, Palinea. They asked him whether he felt bad by choice, and he replied that the emotion was involuntary. They asked him if he believes he has free will; he replied that he sometimes feels he's had less since joining Ambassador Lethe's retinue, and that he perhaps bears some resentment for that. They asked if he believes in destiny, and he replied that he had "never looked it in the face. Their discussion concluded with further discussions of fate, indicating that though Lazarus is apparently not part of the prophecy, he is a true ally to it and to the Golden; when he said that he wanted the prophecy to come true, they said that this was not unlike desiring that rain should fall. -Quint also inquired further into the nature of the entity that had held her soul in the immaterium, and the Golden replied in to uncertain terms that this entity was the Emperor himself, referring to him as her father. They have also confirmed that they possess a limited recollection of their past lives, having visions of darkness, standing before armies, and of Lazarus himself. \[April 16 2025\] Lazarus experienced a dream that appeared more in relation to his [Redressor](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/artifact-nemesis-device-redressor "Artifact: Nemesis Device (Redressor)"), but the Golden was apparently present with the dream; it seemed to have no additional knowledge of the strange circumstances of the dream. # Controller Nepheli Havelock [![1000013275.jpg](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/1000013275.jpg)](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/1000013275.jpg) -Administrative specialist and servitor mechanic of genius skill. *-Heavy Encryption-* -Previous identity was [Wynnyf von Bjekt](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/wynnyf-von-bjekt-location-unknown-likely-deceased "Wynnyf"), scribe for the [Astra Telepathica](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/astra-telepathica "Astra Telepathica"); her documented existence and physical appearance have been fabricated by agents Kg-co -Is a latent psyker; current projects include locating implants to help control her abilities. In addition, is receiving informal training in suppressing/controlling her abilities from [Quint](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Quinten Cutter"). -Assisted in establishing the noble lineage of [Kelle Lethe](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/grand-ambassador-kelle-jocasta-lethe-traquiel "Kelle Jocasta Lethe"). -Designed the psychic circuitry present in the [Servitors](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/possessed-servitors-the-golden "Assessment: Possessed Servitors") previously occupied by the soul of [Palinea Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/palinea-traquielthe-golden "Palinea Traquiel (Status Uncertain)"). Had originally created these Servitors to be more directly controllable by her, through psychic means. Consequently, I have assigned her to the task of investigating the similar psychic circuitry present in the veils of the [Procuratia](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/procuratia "Procuratia"). She has been afforded permission to continue her experiments in pursuit of this understanding. # Kimuri Naga Performance artist contract to create entertainment and spectacles at the Dock. Trained in sculptire via holographic spectra, dance, dueling, and liturgical choreography. *\[Heavy Encryption\]* Formerly known as Artemis Modeyo; after recognizing [Lazarus](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Specialist Lazarus Quint") from his previous incarnation, and him offering her a job with KGco, she said she would come work for us under the conditions that she be given artistic freedom, her ow space, and most importantly, that we fake her death to free her from her contract with [Ketcellia Nimea](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/lady-ketcellia-nimea "Lady Ketcellia Nimea"). We were able to make it appear as though she had died from a gravitic equipment malfunction during a late rehearsal, swapping in a body double shaped to be identical to her using Lazarus's psychic abilities. Prior to this, we established the identity of Kimuri Naga as an artist contact in talks with KG-co, such that her later appearance would seem impossible to link with Artemis's death. The plan seems to have been entirely successful; we attended her funeral, where Ketcellia gave the epitaph, "here lies one whose name was written in smoke." [Ambassador Lethe](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/grand-ambassador-kelle-jocasta-lethe-traquiel "Grand Ambassador Kelle Jocasta Lethe Traquiel") gave the noblewoman a vase as a token of sympathy.

Has a shifting tattoo of a snake made of smoke on her arm. -Was commissioned to create a holographic monument to [Lord General Rothay Nimea](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/lord-general-eton-rothay-nimea "Lord General Eton Rothay Nimea") in recognition of his latest military achievements and actions; it is scheduled to be unveiled just before the Gubernatorial Wedding. This Monument portrays the Lord General wearing an archaic form of the family crest, used when they still held the Planetary Governorship. -Taciturn and socially avoidant, if behavior at the manor party is to be taken as standard. -Accomplished Duelist, capable of matching and defeating [Dehvon Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/planetary-governor-dehvon-traquiel "Planetary Governor Dehvon Traquiel"). -Studied at the Schola Progenium -Creates art using holographic spectra and liturgical choreography; her dancers occupy specimen tanks while not on stage, and have had joint and tendon replacements to enhance their abilities. Choreographed a performance of the noble last stand of Kore Traquiel for the Gubernatorial wedding, though the "gift" was graciously declined. -Developed a connection with[ Quinten](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Quinten Cutter") during their brief conversation, asked that he participate in her choreography; due to the party's sudden conclusion, the results of this were never determined. -At the wedding of the Planetary Governor and [the Ambassador](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/grand-ambassador-kelle-jocasta-lethe-traquiel "Lady Ambassador Kelle Jocasta Lethe"), Modeyo and Quint encountered each other again; Modeyo clearly recognized the psyker, despite his mask and name, and said that she'd heard he died. Quint responded in the affirmative and reintroduced himself. He then offered Modeyo a position with KG-co, should she have interest. # Father Lightfall [![1000013304.webp](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/1000013304.webp)](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/1000013304.webp) *\[Heavy Encryption\]* -The only surviving member of the Combine, now a resource of the KG-Co. -Has be assigned to head the [Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/house-traquiel "House Traquiel") Intelligence and Espionage department; so far has proven competent, valuable, and well connected, but largely because we ultimately trust him to be untrustworthy. -Sent an agent to keep watch on [Sister Laria](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/sister-famula-advance-laria-maria-fortuna-majas "Sister Famula Advance Laria Maria Fortuna Majas") when she was sent back to Isadore's Rest. -Has been told to send an undercover agent into the more aggressive sect of the [Clerics Regular,](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/the-clerics-regular-of-his-holy-canon "The Clerics Regular of His Holy Canon") to channel their anger with the Eternalites toward more economic sabotage efforts, rather than outright violence. -Reported the restlessness and complaints of [Mehvon Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/mehvon-traquiel "Mehvon Traquiel") following his dismissal from Head of Intelligence, as well as his new and unusual courtship of an Asterion noblewoman. # Security Personnel [![1000013522.jpg](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/1000013522.jpg)](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/1000013522.jpg) # Captain Orpheon of the Angels Encarmine -Astartes Captain of the [Angels Encarmine](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-angels-encarmine "The Angels Encarmine"): Leader of the Angels on Asterion. -Former friend and ally of [Melichdoche Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/planetary-governor-dame-melichdoche-traquiel "Planetary Governor Melichdoche Traquiel"), first planetary governor of the [Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/house-traquiel "House Traquiel") lineage.
