Schneider frowned as he walked up the steps to Fyyars office; recent events had gone far to easily and quickly. He also sensed that Fyyar no longer trusted him.
He knocked on the door and waited.

“Come in.” said Fyyar looking up from the paperwork which covered his desk.
“Schneider,” he said straightening, “What can I do for you?”<br> “General Inquisitor,” Schneider said formally, “I have come regarding my imminent investigation. As the investigation is under the remit of Sicarius I request access to any resources I need that Sicarius can supply.”<br> “The Ordos has little resources available at present Schneider. I will grant you access, with in reason, to the resources of the Ordos Sicarius. There are however certain conditions. One, no Sicarius Assassins will be seconded to you, there will be no discussion on that matter.”<br> “Fine, I prefer to work alone.”<br> Fyyar smiled, “Secondly you will lead a cell of Inquisitors taken from various Ordos. The number will be no greater than five at most. I have no definite names at current, it seems likely that Inquisitor Caspiel Rex of the Ordo Xenos and Inquisitor Palpatine of…the Ordo Malleus will accompany you, as will a member of the Ordo Sicarius.”

"I cannot see myself having trouble filling that quota. You have read the Icarus proclamation?"
Fyyar nodded. The infamous message had spread quickly through the Terran Inquisition. Several Inquisitors had even sent replies, either declaring Icarus a heretic or wishing to know more, before Schneider had been able to stop them. Schneider himself had also recieved several queries regarding his place in the proclamation. Icarus is trying to turn them against me. Schneider smiled. But this could still work to my advantage. Untill this I had no irrefutable proof that Icarus even existed.
"Has there been any success in divining the origin of the message?"
"The Astopathica's best augers are attempting to do so, but I doubt it will do us much good. Icarus would have sent the message through a proxy carrier."
"At least it would narrow down our search from the entire galaxy."
Fyyar sighed, "That, of course, is the main problem. We have absolutly no idea where Icarus is, or his true identity."
"He is an Inquisitor who at some point fought Vladimir Tyrannis."
"The words of a Daemon should be taken with a grain of salt," Fyyar growled, "You should know that."
"I know that better than any. You are no psyker. The daemon could not have lied under the conditions I placed upon it."
"If you say so." Schneider had the impression that Fyyar was very uncomfortable discussing the matter. "Assemble your cell. As soon as we have a solid lead, you shall depart."
"My goal? My goal is simple- the long term survival of humanity. If your goal conflicts with mine, I will kill you, and no power in the universe can stop me." -Inquisitor Artemis Schneider

Fyyar glanced up from his mountain of paperwork as Schneider entered. "You have assembled your cell." It was a statement, not a question. Fyyar had already noted and approved the cell members.
"I have. Have we any leads as to the whereabouts of our prey?"
Fyyar sighed and shook his head, "None."
"All dressed up and nowhere to go," Schneider mumbled.
"The first task of your cell shall be to scour the archives for any possible leads. Combined with the knowledge you gained from your interrogation of the... object, you should be able to come up with something solid."
Schneider nodded, "Very well, Fyyar. With luck, the next time I see you I shall be carrying the head of Icarus." I turned and strode out of the room. Fyyar wondered whether he would ever see Schneider again. After a moments thought, he decided he didn;t really care. With a shrug he went back to his paperwork.
