Gabriel swore he could feel the beginning of a headache coming on. In the last week several things had happened that had drastically enlarged his workload. First Inquisitor Alexius had sent over the data on the military forces of the Errant Cohort and to be honest it was a mess. Millions of men in who knew how many regiments and the different cultures that they had developed. Though there were also the xenos troops that Gabriel now found under his command which he found surreal. Not to mention the message that the Inquisitor attached to it that made Gabriel worry even more. Secondly the Space Hulk that had dropped in system that turned out to be occupied by humans, and the fact that they had joined the Imperium. This compounded Gabriel's problems as it turned out they had their own version of the Guard that he needed to try to incorporate into the power structure. Lastly the first reports from the underhive were coming in and some of the things they presented made Gabriel worry.

But even for all the work that Gabriel now had he still worked his way through it. First was the military from the Errant Cohort. In the days following the message from Alexius orders started streaming from the Imperial Guard Headquarters. There were consolidation of regiments into something more standardized, the establishment of a clear chain of command, promotions for those worthy to be officers from his ranks, the PDF, and those among the Errant Cohort, and even demotions for those not worthy of command. Most of the xenos troops were left alone for now except for the orders that they would stay behind in the trip to the Forge Moon. While Gabriel knew that this would throw those forces into chaos for a bit, it needed to be done so that they would be ready if they were needed.

Secondly was the forces of the 'Ark Imperialis' as it was called. Corbec could only hope they took his message well.

[i]Lord Regent Karthis,

Hail to a fellow servant of the Imperium. I am Lord-Militant Gabriel Corbec and I am the man in charge of the Imperial Guard in this Imperium. It has come to my attention that you have your own version of the guard, and while this may seem sudden to you I hope to consolidate our commands. As the Imperial Guard may be needed in the upcoming expansions I wish there to be only one chain of command and not multiple that could contradict each other. While i know that you might be loathe to give up command of your men, I would ask at the very least that I could attach a liaison to your headquarters so that we might more easily cooperate and maybe even begin the discussion of how to incorporate your men into the Imperial Guard.

Lastly was the reports that were coming out of the underhive. Those necessitated a message to Inquisitor Alexius, this one encrypted.

[i]+++Decryption Successful+++

Inquisitor Alexius,

It worries me that someone was able to infiltrate your fleet and I assure you that I will keep a close eye on my men and the fleet. You also asked me to report any suspicious activity to you, and I have found some in the underhive. First off the gangs are to well equipped. Usually the gangs would be equipped with autoguns with the occasional lasgun, but the lasgun seems to be the standard armament. This means that someone has been supplying them with weaponry. Also something else that is strange is the absence of the drug dealers down there. Evidently they just started disappearing and it seems like someone was attempting to exterminate them. Both of these combined makes it seem to me that someone was making a push down here in the underhive, though for what purpose I do not know. My suspicions lie with K'vari as the xeno seems like one of the few that I know of that could discreetly funnel weapons down here, though I do not have any proof. I hope that you can do more with this information than I can.
