"In a circumstance where we had the available time, my lord, I would recommend destroying the hostile vessels, then escorting the pilgrim vessel into Ordo Hereticus custody to to ensure we do not risk the witches escaping. My convent has access to a wide array of contacts within the Ordos Malleus and Hereticus, after all." Magda interjected, casting disapproving glance toward Dahti, a small frown on her face. She didn't particularly like the Magos's answer, but, as much as she hated to admit it, his was rather unquestionable the [i]optimal[/i] one, in a sense of pure efficiency.

"However, while I cannot morally condone the Magos's suggestion, it is the most efficient way to ensure that the mutineers cannot escape - as while a pilgrimage vessel may be a painful place to hide, it is the [i]least[/i] likely one for us to pulverize. Nonetheless, taking moral considerations into account, I would recommend escorting the pilgrim vessel into the custody of the Ordo Hereticus or, failing that, the Adeptus Arbites in the interim. Additionally, I am ready to board whichever vessel you would drect me towards, though I must caution allowing the enemy to get close to us, considering our reduces numbers, and the absence of unexpected aid."
