Evidence of Conflict with Powers of Chaos

-That Xenos races have come into conflict with the forces of Chaos and largely avoided association is well established in evidence gained through communication with Explorator and Rogue Trader Fleets permitted to converse with such creatures. Indeed, there are remarkably few cases in which the non-human organisms of the known Galaxy have culturally allied themselves with the Chaos Gods or other Demons, demonstrating that whatever other forms of heresy they may commit on a regular basis, Xenos are possessed of some capacity for self preservation and rationality.

-The Cinquefoils seem to have been among those to more directly challenge the forces of the archenemy, rather than merely avoiding contact. It is in fact due to this aggressive opposition that I had initially termed them the "Nemesis Xenos," as QuintenQuint informs me this is the most accurate translation of how the Plaguebearer encountered in the raid to reclaim Bluehull-92 referred to him, upon recognizing the presence of the Artifact embedded in his hand.

-This assessment is further confirmed by the physical and psychic seals holding back a similar "seed" of chaos with Asterion's volcano; all examination of this construction indicates that it was designed and implemented by the Cinquefoils.

-Though this clear animosity has offered some alleviation to my concerns in using the Nemesis Device, it does not exonerate the artifact of potential tech heresy, nor does it entirely contraindicate dangers that may arise from the Device or its creators in the future.

-The Dark Xenos organisms observed fighting alongside the Cutters seem to produce a Null field; if we assume that they too are a race associated with the Cinquefoils, who as psychically active entities would be expected to avoid Blanks on principle, we might conclude that use of such beings is further evidence of action taken against immaterium creatures.
