The Order of Silence

-Members first encountered in the Quarantine Zone; cultists of higher rank seem to be equipped with Asterii Devices (thus far we have observed skilled wielders of a Communior, Augmentor, and Voiddelver).

-Members encountered thus far have physically appeared no different to hivers, and no uniform or identifiable symbol of membership has been seen.

-The purpose of these members has been deliberately obscured by those who we've spoken to; some part of their mission seems to involve Ambassador Lethe, at the very least, remaining ignorant of the details of their cause. To do otherwise would be to "break the silence" that they are dedicated to keeping.

-The mantra repeated by their members is: "The Emperor Protects; Silence is Halcyon." Though this indicates they follow the Imperial Creed, it remains possible that their methodologies are heretical, considering their strange behaviors and clear willingness to engage in hostility with our forces.

-The aforementioned attack occurred almost immediately after Specialist Ford translocated out of their range of vision, into a hidden chamber of their base. This prompted immediate mistrust and violence.

-The hollow space underneath the chapel was observed by Ford to be of Asterii design, constructed of the familiar, obsidian like material seen in others of their locations. A Voiddelver portal was also present (later used to exist the Zone). There was also an odd collection of carapace armor, weapons (modified las pistols), and a dataslate containing encoded information.
