Yes, this is my attempt to be like the Ice Angel Chapter .

*begin transmission*

Chapter Name: The Avenging Angels

Founding: 3rd (001.M32)

Chapter World: Xavier ( Civilised Desert World ) Located on the border line of Segmentum Temptus and Segmentum Pacificus

Fortress Monastery: Rogal Dorn's Keep

Gene-seed: Imperial Fist

Known Descendants: None

Inquisitor Arely Investigating:
*Avenging Angels Xenos Technology Rumors*
*Repeated War Crime Offenses*

*Day 1 Recording*

Planet fall on Xavier went as planned, the Imperial Governor meet all of my demands providing me with all the resources I would need for my inspection of the Avenging Angel’s fortress monastery. I have made contact with the Chapter and I expect to be inside the monastery searching for answers within the next few days, until then I will stay with the Imperial Governor.

*Day 11*

The Avenging Angels claim that they are unable to verify my rosette. I would believe that to be true if it were not for the ease of the Imperial Governor to confirm the authenticity of it. I have earn the right to bear that rosette, I have the power to purge entire worlds if I deem fit, their mockery of authority is legendary and it will cost them dearly if my investigation finds any flaw.

*Day 30*

The Avenging Angels continue to persist that they are unable to verify my rosete. This is unnecessary and I am starting to believe that they are hiding something. My retinue has been monitoring the monastery and there has been little to no unexpected activity. I am growing weary of their lame excuses, soon I will be forced to force my way into the monastery.

*Day 42 Recording*

The Avenging Angels finally confirmed my rosette and gave me full access to their fortress monastery, Dorn's Keep and Chaplain Xynas was appointed my guide.

My first conversation with him was as followed:

“We are thankful for your patience, we welcome any and all guests ordain and sent by the Emperor.”

"If you welcome all guests then why have you denied other Inquisitor access to your monastery?" I asked.

Chaplain Xyna replied, "We could not verify their rosette".

"What about our request for explanations of your various War Crimes?"

"Who and what defines a war crime?" he answered.

"A third founding chapter should know what defines a war crime, and if you must know having an Inquisitor of my ranking wait 42 days is another infraction comparable to that of a war crime".

Chaplain Xyna facial expression changed almost as if he had caught the scent of something foul before saying, "We require verification from two different sources even if it is from Terra, you see Avenging Angels have a trust issue with psykers, such as yourself."

"Is that a threat, typical behavior for arrogant Astartes, but know this my large retinue will search every inch of this gargantuan monastery and if we find any sign of taint your chapter will have to answer to the might of the Imperium." I said while making eye contact with the marine.

While maintaining eye contact he said in a different voice that made his previous one sound artificial, "The only sign of taint you will find here, is yourself" .

“We shall see” I said before closing the door to my new room.

*Days 55 - 80* Nothing Found

*Day 81*

Almost a Terra month has past and my retinue and I have not found anything remotely out of place for a Space Marine Chapter. I am starting to become impatient as the one worded or speak to Chaplain Xyna answers from everyone is making my job very difficult. While searching through the Avenging Angels armoury, hoping to find something out of the ordinary, I had a conversation with Chaplain Xyna that went as followed:

“I know what you want to see” he said.

“What do you mean what I want to see?” I responded.

“I have permission to take you to our Apothacarion”.

“We have seen your Apothecarion several times it has little to no signs of taint”.

Chaplain Xyna punched the wall leaving a dent the size of a melon and causing the servitors to stop working for a brief moment before resuming their job. “You are interfering with our production, everyone from the techmarines to the apothecaries complain about your retinue presence. Everyone wants you out of here, we have nothing to hide, if it was up to me I would not allow a psyker to breathe in our Monastery let alone be anywhere near Dorn’s Gift.” he said in voice that made me use my powers to conjure up strength in anticipation of an attack.

“But it is not your decision to make, now is it Chaplain”, Chapter Master Burlon said as he and his Honor Guard entered the armoury. It seemed as if everyone paused including the servitors to recognize the presence of the Chapter Master and his Honor Guard.

“Please excuse our hospitality of late Inquisitor Arely, you being a psyker created an issue that was debated heavily amongst those who were in command of the monastery during my absence. You had to wait while they decided whether to let a psyker probe around our monastery. I have made it back from fighting the Orks in the Lixan Sector and we have decided to answer all of your questions so that our Gift may be known to the High Lords of Terra, if you would please follow me.”

I quickly noted that the rumors about Burlon were true he is slightly taller and thinner than his counter parts. How could an astartes who has committed so many war crimes handle his self in such a professional manner? Is this how the Avenging Angels truly behave? Wearing Death Mask that hides their truly angelic nature, I quickly shake the thought out of my head as I remember the Avenging Angels ferociousness in battle as well as the crimes that they have committed and not answered for.

I gave a signal to my retinue and they immediately started recording us. “I am glad you are here Chapter Master Burlon. I was finding it difficult to understand the cause for such treatment, despite this I knew that there is more than what meets the eye about this place.” I said in a respectful manner.

Burlon glanced at the machine, and then he looked me in the eyes and said in a polite manner, “You search our monastery for secrets or signs of taint while secretly using your psyker powers to try to probe into the thoughts of my brothers, you hid from us so we hid from you nothing personal.”

“I understand” I said not wanting to ruin my opportunity to see what they call Dorn’s Gift.
