fun read

I enjoyed how you treated the inquisitor as more a boots-on-the-ground investigator, working with lower-level officials. You also handled the theme well and made the consequences very easy to see. The dialogue felt clunky at times, and I wished there was more to the ending, such as and expansion on the details of the nuclear impact, or at least a sentence describing the search for details. Overall, the only issues I had are ones that can easily be fixed with more practice in writing, keep it up!

with the new lore book OPR rewrote some of the lore of the human inquisition. I tried to remain faithful to the new lore. Thank you for the feedback

Really liked the storytelling here, and I thought the ending "wideshot" from space capped it off nicely!

This was a clean and enjoyable read. I liked getting to follow an Inquisitor and as mentioned by another comment, all the little hints about radiation. Ending from the viewpoint of a ship in orbit was stellar too. The only feedback I might have is that I wish the consequences theme was related to the main character closer, instead of him just dealing with the consequences of others. Still amazing story

I liked this tale a lot. It had enough elements to be its own entity without apeing 40k overly much. Viktor seemed to at least appear to have some respect for those he had to work with, and even a little time to spare to hear out the enemy before executing them. I appreciate that. Even his spitting on a ratmen corpse felt a lot more restrained than some of the more foamy psychopathic ranting main characters I've seen in fiction.

thank you for the comment. I was pushing for ratmen that were corrupted by living in the radioactive sewer too much however it makes them seem a lot like space skaven more than OPR rats that are sick.

The story's subtlety blew me away. Those little details all added up. Like, cobalt-60 being used in dirty nuclear bombs, all those rats getting cancer from radiation, and those gemstones glowing green from it. Those tiny touches made the whole thing come alive without needing a ton of words.

There are those rats again. Good job.

Really cool interpretation of our favorite space-rats. Great work!
