Assessment: Heretical or Holy

Evidence of Heresy:

-Most forms of mutation are themselves evidence of corruption. Palinea's mutation are also of a distinctly disturbing nature in several regards, including:

1. Accelerated aging.
2. Needle teeth.
3. Ability to consume only raw meat for sustainable.
4. Warp affinity.
5. A non-symmetrical third eye, positioned on the left side of her forehead.

-The mutations appeared two weeks after her birth, possibly indicating a nefarious plot instigated by an external source.

-The Enemy is cunning, and all evidence of a sanctioned existence may be purposeful fabrication.

Evidence of Holiness:

-Precedent for non-heretical mutants exists in the form of Navis Nobilite, and indeed some scholars believe evidence indicates that the Emperor played a role in the creation of the Navigators. It may be noted that several of the more unsettling mutations present in Navigators are similar to those exhibited by Palinea, such as needle teeth and, obviously a third eye.

-The Nemesis Device shows no animosity towards Palinea, where it has previously demonstrated a powerful and violent reaction towards forces of Chaos.

-Palinea claimed to be a servant of the Emperor, and that her intentions were to save mankind. The Golden claimed similarly.

-Though psychic perceptions of the "color" or warp entities are difficult to codify, it may be noted that none of the more common perceptions of Chaotic presence were associated with Palinea by Quint, who rather described her immaterial presence as "golden."

-Palinea's genetic line stems from the House Traquiel, who according to mytho-historical records were afforded the Planetary Governor Title by an Angel, and thus representative, of the Emperor.

Confounding Evidence:

-The Vision of Truth, difficult to interpret with certainty in most respects, may have been a warning and promise or aid or a threat and promise of destruction; there are no means by which the intention can be confirmed at this point in time.

-Palinea's soul was, according to Quint, held by a powerful entity in the Immaterium, and was perfectly preserved. It was further yielded to him willingly, and thus seems aligned with the intention of restoring the soul to a physical host. The nature of this Entity has not been determined.

-The Prophecy has yet to be verified as a work of the Imperial Canon or the work of a Heretical mind.

-The behavior and nature of the Golden, as sentient creatures bearing a soul in no uncertain terms, could be interpreted as existing in accordance with or against the 16 Universal Laws, depending on whether the Nemesis Device is determined to be a tool of the Omnissiah.
