Editorial Note:

Cain, of course, doesn’t bother to expand on the consequences of this development for the planet as a whole, or for the campaign to defend it. I have therefore appended the following extracts from other sources, in the hope that they will go some way towards filling in the gaps in his narrative.

From Periremunda Today: The News That Matters to Your Planet, 264 933 M41

TERRORISTS ARE XENOS INFILTRATORS!

KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!

In a startling announcement, endorsed by no lesser eminence than Lord General Zyvan, commander of the Imperial Guard heroes charged with eradicating the taint of un-mutual deviance from our fair world, Arbitrator Keesh today revealed the shocking truth that the campaign of terrorism that has rocked Periremunda for so long has an even more sinister purpose than simply challenging the benevolent rule of the Emperor’s divinely appointed regents. Far from being mere traitors and heretics, a crime that in itself deserves no less than utter annihilation and eternal damnation, the perpetrators are something even more foul: the changeling offspring of the vile xenos species known as genestealers, which taint the pure bodily essences of the Emperor-fearing, thus perverting them to the cause of the world-devouring tyranids.

Though one of the dreaded hive fleets is reported to be on its way to Periremunda, all true human citizens may take heart from the knowledge that so is a taskforce drawn from the very cream of the Imperial Navy, and the redoubtable warriors of the Imperial Guard, which between them is more than powerful enough to obliterate the cancer of the xenos presence from our blessed corner of the galaxy. Moreover, we still have the unceasing vigilance of Commissar Cain and his valiant comrades-in-arms to protect all true followers of the Emperor.

As for the xenos-tainted vermin still lurking among us, let them tremble in fear, knowing that their inevitable extermination is naught but a matter of time.

IS YOUR NEIGHBOUR A GENESTEALER?

Transcript of an address by Planetary Governor Merkin W. Pismire the younger, 266 933 M41

My fellow Periremundans, it’s with a heavy heart that I address you all tonight. Um, unless you’re in a different time zone, of course, when I guess you’ll be having breakfast. Or sleeping, or whatever. Erm…

By now you’ll all have heard what’s really been going on for the last few months, and no doubt you were as surprised as I was when I first saw the news picts this morning. Um, that’s to say my daughters saw them, and lost no time in bringing me up to speed. Um…

You may all rest assured that I voxed Arbitrator Keesh as soon as I became aware of the situation, and demanded a full report, which, I’m sure, will prove extremely reassuring as soon as it arrives, or the young man I spoke to has time to pass on the message.

Anyway, I can state quite confidently that things are completely under control. We’ve all heard these silly rumours about low altitude settlements suddenly losing contact with the rest of the planet, and I’m quite sure there’s no truth to any of them.
