Silvanus turned to Zhou and Galatea "The magnitude of the processing plants are unknown at the moment. According to our prisoner there are dozens of processing and distribution plants active across the hive. If so the operation is much larger than we initially suspected, and once you have captured the plant operator we will begin learning how they were able to spread so quickly.

There is a decent likelihood you could 'acquire' a street dealer, that is the same tactic our agents used to locate a distribution plant. Any dealers should not be more heavily armed than an average hive-ganger. Light non-flak armour and basic stub/las weapons.

The operation is being enacted under full shadow protocols. You will all be given alibi's and ID to confirm your reasons for being on Scintilla, the nature of which you can discuss with our head savant. You will be given a... certain amount of leeway when creating your covers."

He turned to Roderick to address the guardsmans question.
"Full enemy disposition is unknown at the moment. When our team infiltrated the distribution plant we encountered just over a dozen gangers, which included those packaging and 'cutting' up their product. We believe that the processing plant will have more numbers guarding their wares, so I advise caution and careful surveillance before you strike.

He nods his head and Ralden pulls out a dataslate from his jacket pocket and places it on the table.
"This is a copy of the leads we currently have on this operation. There are two factors that might aid you in your investigation. The first has to do with identifying which gang element or elements are currently taking part in Initrum manufacturing. Our team was able to make contact with a man known as "Blitz", it was through his information that we were able to identify and obtain the location of street dealers and the distribution plant. If you can use him to identify which gang elements on Scintilla are hostile and creating Initrum it may aid you greatly

The second is in regards to the Scintillian 238th Infantry Brigade, the Imperial Guard regiment recently went through a rotation of dismissals and veteran retirement, bringing a huge influx of former guardsmen to the planet. Since the guards return four weeks ago the number of Initrum incidents has increased over 56%. We believe there is a definite coincidence between these events"
