Yeah, I have no idea what's going on. But I'll be part of whatever action there is.

Yes there is all that too. It would be an amazingly complex thing
Oh, and (I could be mistaken) the majority of suicides are with firearms or overdose. But the vast majority of people wouldn't. Even seeing the horrors of the zombies would only increase the suicide rate by a few percent.
It would happen in a lit of ways. Most people wouldn't kill themselves. Its not something most people do.
As the tension begins to ease Nurian begins to rub the back of his head where a mild ache had developed. He lied to himself that it was just from the blast. Stukov was talking about warp abominations but there was a nagging feeling, something Nurian had forgotten. He clenched his teeth forcing the the wild warp induced thoughts out of his mind. While he had no formal training In resisting the warp he had some innate resistance to it, or just the mind of a veteran haunted by his own horrors, he was never sure.
Then stukov asked "Any idea if this brothel is part of a chain owned by one main figure? Might find some clues in that case. If it's stand alone, hmm, perhaps check financial backing? Nothing is free, after all. How about you, Enforcer, if your done menacing things for the moment, got any ideas in that particular train of thought?"
Nurian smiled, this was more up his alley. Law and order, investigations something he was actually trained in. "Well, it's hard to say. Many clues are being burned as we speak" he says motioning to the fire. "Checking the finances and if it's a chain is a good idea. But it might be an isolated incident, the brothel may have nothing to do with it. Although it may be prudent to interrogate each of the whores and customers if we can. But we need to know more.." He turns to the Psyker. "How did you find it? Was it in the open on the manager's desk? Or well concealed in one of the brothels rented rooms?"

The Sister of battle was a surprise to Nurian, he stared down the barrel of the bolter. a shot from this range would surely kill him, he condiders his options for a moment knowing he would surely die to protect the Imperium from the corruption. Nurian's distrust of the psyker and the object ran deep. allowing the taint of chaos to spread would surely be disastrous. then the Psyker speaks
"Calm yourself sister, this man will not attack."
she put the medallion into a bag which seemed to contain the warp energies. she removes her mask and looks at him with white hair and what seemed to be the purple eyes of cadia. she smiles at Nurian, which was a surprise because he was nearly ready to bash her skull in. he lowers his weapons and deactivates the maul. "My name is Adrianne Valenthin, sanctioned psyker of the Imperium. I am the Inquisitor's aide in dealing with matters that go beyond the physical world." she says as he clips the maul into its holster. "This is not the first cursed artifact I have dealt with, nor do I suspect it would be the last. My mission here is to find, recover and possibly destroy any such items I come across, and I fear this world will keep me busy for quite a while."
she then says something to the inquisitor. Nurian looks at her somewhat annoyed, but decides perhaps she is more of a psyker than those he had to fight before.
"my apologies Adrianne, I served with the Ordo Hereticus years ago. I have had to kill psykers because of artifacts like that, and i have seen the damage they have wrought when we failed. First hand... by the Emperor." Nurian says thinking back to the pitched battles against cultists and their sorcererous psykers. as the thought runs through his head he feels a tingle go up his spine, a reaction to the horror of war with chaos.
"i dont know about being sensitive to them my only goal is to protect the Imperium and its loyal subjects."

Hey that changes everything.. With an adepta sororitas speaking reason, such as destroying it, I wouldn't be planning on attacking the psyker
ok, post up.
i thought this would be interesting character friction. i hope its not a problem @Rithy ;)

Nurian pulled himself up off the ground dusting himself off, pieces of debris falling around him. he checks himself over and realizes that he is unharmed. his armor and shield are battered in the fight with the traitor arbites and his suicide vest. Nurian kneels down and begins to check over the Mastiff, which is only somewhat damaged from the explosion. While functional it should receive some blessings by a techpriest. he hears a new voice behind him, apparently a man named Stukov. While Nurian does not feel as though he belongs to this unit yet he decides that he should try and learn as much as he can about.. whatever it is that is going on.
Nurian walks over just as the woman produces an object and says "We found this." its eye opens and twitches and looks around it and for a moment, perhaps, it locks its gaze onto Nurian before focusing on the others. for that fraction of a moment Nurian feels as though he looked into the deepest space of the Immaterium. 'by the Emperor' he whispers to himself as he gazes at the Artifact of Chaos. after this first fraction of a second he feels an impossible sense of safety that Nurian immediately suppresses knowing that it must be wytchcraft. the Psyker says "its steeped in warp power" and Nurian looks at her with two thoughts in his head, the first was 'Well obviously, anyone can see that' followed by 'that amulet is being carried by a Psyker'
She begins to explain something about the amulet but Nurian stopped listening as he tries to work out what should be done next. his first instinct was to bash the Psyker over the head and smash the amulet to pieces. when he served with the Ordo Hereticus that would have been his directive, to kill all those touched by Chaos and destroy all trace. although he senses that killing the psyker might not be the best course of action. then something strange happened and the psyker looked dazed. Nurian tightened his grip on the power maul ready for if the psyker was taken by the warp.
She seemed to return and looked at the inquisitor asking him "would you like to hold it?" Nurian pushed the rune on his power maul charging it once again "Psyker Witch!" he says lowering himself ready to fight. The only thought in his head was to prevent corruption by chaos, it seemed at though the woman was being influenced by the medallion. thus, it followed that she must be killed and the thing be destroyed utterly. although before he strikes the psyker down he hesitates, realizing that it's possible they know how to deal with this.
