"I am just trying to make conversation. To find out what interests you and what your life is like. Nothing more." "Really? In that case, I shall choose the next topic, if you don't mind." Heinrix looks at you, intrigued. "Be my guest. And what do you want to talk about?"

A familiar figure turns to you. Heinrix van Calox, Interrogator of the Ordo Xenos, bows his head respectfully. "Lord Captain."

former commissar ammabel, who thought her days of having to inspire baby soldiers were behind her, listening to her entire retinue of accomplished fighters say their farewells and bemoan their early deaths when the fight against aurora hadn't even started

I do love when a dogmatic option feels like a callback to Ammabel's life as a Commissar

[zahra-hydris]

ammabel makes her initial, over-the-top flirty comments to heinrix not necessarily to flirt with him but because she's trying to crack that interrogator guise and see what he's really like underneath

she's trying to throw him off-balance, essentially

[zahra-hydris]

one of the changes to ammabel's canon with this run, I think, is

I think she's gonna let idira kill argenta after her confession 🙃

[zahra-hydris]

theodora praising ammabel as being willing to sacrifice underlings' lives in her former life as a commissar

while ammabel is haunted by the thousands who died because of her during her last offensive

When the Interrogator straightens and looks at you, you notice an unusual detail for the first time - his eyes are different colours. With a nod, he steps away and heads for the door.
