"I believe the reason why we call it an investigation is because we don't know if we are going to find something or not." The smile disappeared across his gaze. "Start after the feast." He ordered. "Only the PDF as a nearby Fortress World usually supplies Imperial Guard in the case of war. And before that, well. The Astartes swore to protect Ulm and the surrounding worlds." OOC: I believe he just used the wrong symbol, because the sentence starts with "He thought to himself."
occ: I assume we all know of each other, so my look was not really that suspicious, but you are a Astartes. "Oh, what? No I cannot say I have, but I also have not been offered one of those" He pointed at one of the Cigar in the Astartes mouth and winked at him. Concord stood waited with a dataslate in his hands.Tapping on it with a stylus waiting for the Inquisitor to attend him after he finish his conversations with the others.
OOC: it still stands hahaha "No standard PDF ? Odd most worlds have a local division but that means I won't have to hand out imperial uplifting gaurd primers left and right which is quite a shame"
"well ask the comisar for one then" as he spoke he took a puff of smoke and laughed "just dont stare to much or il start suspecting your a witch" with that he chuckled some more
OOC: sorry missed the cigar part will add Before his bow he handed over a cigar. "I'm handing out cigars like I just had a kid haha." With a slight bow, "If there is nothing else Inquistor I will take my leave to prepare for the mission ahead." He left the briefing room in a cloud of cigar smoke leaving the remnants of the retinue to ponder on their other questions. He knew it was not smart to pester the Inquistor for too long unless you wanted to be reprimanded. Entering his room he prepped a foot locker with his carapace armor and other equipment he would need planet side if things went south quicker than they anticipated. He picked up the vox in his quarters, "Send two armsmen to my quarters I have equipment that needs to be moved to the Inquistor's Lander." He cleaned up any stray strings from his uniform so as to make the best impression with the planetary dignitaries.
Jean simply listened to the Inquisitor, brushing a short white strand of hair from her eyes, it was one of many that hung down in her face, the rest was slicked back, kept out of the way. She parted her lips to speak. "Inquisitor. You stated the taxes had nearly doubled? Do we have any records of where this money is going? Perhaps it is being spent in places... that it shouldn't be?"
"The income is fine. The Adeptus Administratum ensured that. But what we should be concerned about. What about the money that does not end in the pockets of Terra. Keep your eyes open on not just the Governor but also the guests we will meet. If they are too well dressed for their ranks and details like that. Greed might be present everywhere. But it can lead to greater evil if left unchecked." It was more of a loud-out reminder to himself than a statement to his retinue. And as the briefing mostly came to an end, so the first members started to get ready. He never liked briefings himself, he prefers the one on one approach. It was only necessary to make sure the rough details were educated to everyone.
"Clever thinking Jean. I should ask around the regional administorum about taxes and fund shipments . If the inquisitor would permit that is. Also if funds are missing then many possibilities rise up. Does anyone have any want for blessings or spiritual healing ? " the priest returns to chanting and covering the room in a cloud of incesne
"Inquisitor? We most talk about something before we make planetfall. Even that I can provide most of the answers the captain is a, traditional man. You need to give me the nay or yay on these, preparations." The Lieutenant said, he was getting impatient, but dared not show it.
