Background info to the game
This isn't your first gig for the Inquisition. You've been working as a team for three missions on Desoleum, all of which have been utterly anti-climatic. The first was a report of witchery in a particular neighbourhood. It turned out to be a dispute between neighbours resulting in false allegations. The second was a minor heresy - a clerk had accidentally stumbled upon a mild forbidden text. You confiscated it and reprimanded the clerk who was most apologetic. The third case was a report of smuggling of xenos meat. It turned out to be human meat (icky, and you put a stop to it, but not exactly Inquisition material).
All in all, underwhelmingly trivial stuff. You have very sparse information about the Inquisition as a whole. You don't know any inquisitors by name, and if you are employed by a specific one, you have no idea. Your only contact is a man named Jehn Marrik, who holds the rank of Interrogator. He usually corresponds with you by dataslate message. The one time you met him in person, it was in a cluttered grotty office at the back of an Administratum building. Marrik himself was a dour man in his 40's, dressed in a slightly faded black suit. He had the permanently miserable expression of someone who is competent but unexceptional and has reached that mid-level rank that he has realised is the pinnacle of his career. He's purely desk-based. He leaves the fieldwork to the likes of you. Whether he handles other teams as well is unknown.

Fate Points
Instead of spending a Fate Point to add a degree of success to a successful Test, or to add +10 to a Test before rolling it, you can spend a Fate Point to adjust a roll after making it by 10.
Telepathic Link Psychic Power
- Change the entry for "Sustained" from 'No' to 'Half Action (see text)'.
- Add the following sentence to the end of the first paragraph under "Effect": 'Selecting the Thought Sending application of this power means that it can be Sustained. The psyker can move from Thought Sending to Thought Reading as a Half Action and a new Opposed Focus Power Test; the manifestation of this power then ends.'
- Add the following sentence to the 'Thought Sending' bullet point: 'In each round that the power is manifested or sustained, both the psyker and the subject of this power can send such a message to the other.'
