Discord took a sit with the chapter master right in front of him. With all the information he had gotten from the imperial databases this chapter was relatively new. They haven’t seen much action as most of where there chapter portaled was more or less what this galaxy called “peaceful”. “Now Chapter Master from what I gathered your chapter is a young one and you haven’t had much in the way of conflicts.” Discord asked.

“That is correct Inquisitor we were originally posted here to help with the ongoing conflicts.” He started and Discord could see what he was meaning. Seems that information hadn’t reached the Administratrum as the conflicts were all over when they got set up.

“But they were all finished forcing your chapter to patrol a peaceful space while the bureaucrats keep thinking that there is a conflict.” Discord surmised this seemed needlessly counterproductive the way the Administration of the Imperium went.

This was supposed to be an galactic empire that was fighting  enemies on all fronts yet a whole planet could be lost because of a filing error. Discord may have been a entity of Chaos but this was just retarded. “Now I wanted to ask you a question what would you say to helping me with the fight to the enemies of man?”

“I will jump at the chance to Inquisitor it is my duty as a Space Marine of the Emperor!” Chapter Master Abel Palatinus exclaimed with almost religious reverence. Discord had a smirk hidden behind his hat’s shadow.

“Well then Chapter Master consider both you and your chapter conscribed by me to help with rooting out the enemies of mankind.” Discord took a sip of the wine one of the servants had poured for him after he had said those words. Inquisitor Alexandra had a habit of doing this when she finished negotiations on her ship and Discord flawlessly played his part.

“I thank you for the opportunity Inquisitor we will not let you down!” He exclaimed.

“I know you won’t.” Discord said with a smile. The Librarian felt a sense of foreboding as her chapter master accepted the Inquisitor's offer. Something was amiss with her. He didn’t sense the taint of the ruinous powers yet his instincts told him that this wasn’t normal.

As the two Space Marines headed for there shuttle the Librarian decided to voice his concerns, “Sir if I may something  feels off about the Inquisitor I feel as if we shouldn’t trust her.”

The caused Abel to raise a eyebrow. “Do you feel that it’s the ruinous powers?” That would prove most dangerous if a inquisitor had fallen to the taint of chaos.

“No it wasn’t the foul taint of chaos, it felt like she wasn’t how do I describe it almost unnatural.” His confusion on the matter didn’t help his cause much.

“Perhaps it’s just that she’s a psyker you haven’t meet many Inquisitors so your confusion could mean nothing but paranoia.” Abel explained to his trusted Librarian.

“Maybe you’re right I haven’t meet any Inquisitor psykers before maybe I’m overreacting to nothing of concern.” He said believing that his chapter master had to be right about this. Unknown to them watching from the shadows was Discord who had tagged behind them but stayed within the shadows.

Seems I’ll have to be careful around psykers they seem to know when I am masquerading as one of them. Discord walked back through the ship and to “his” quarters. Turning to the guard looking straight in his eyes. “No one is to disturb me while I am within my quarters got it.” The guard gave a nod at the glare the Inquisitor was giving him.

As soon as the door closed and Discord was alone he returned to his true form. Floating upside down he entered into a meditative state. He was ancient, reality altering, Immortal force of nature and now he was within a unknown universe. He needed allies on several fronts.

Right now the Space Marines were just the beginning however he could only continue as this Inquisitor for only so long he might have drained her skull of all her knowledge but he couldn’t perfectly imitate her all the time. No he will need to create a Inquisitor persona for himself outside of her.

Next was the verses Xenos Races of the galaxy. The elder were out of the question. They were far better psykers then mankind with deeper connection to the warp. He would be find out almost immediately by them. He should avoid or tread carefully with them if he meets them as a Inquisitor.

The tyranids were also out of the question. They were a hive mind race and would easily detect something was off about him if he fake as one of them. However he could use his powers to influence animals on the feral ones cut off from the hive fleets.

Orks were a lot more promising given how the operate. The biggest and strongest lead massive WAAAGHS! If Discord appeared as one he could probably his abilities to easily overpower any of there leaders and have his own hyper violate warriors to send at any of his enemies.

The Tau were honestly the easiest of the major Xenos to manipulate. With barely any presence in the warp and naivete on how it worked he could simply just replace something in there Ethereal caste and they would follow him without question. However there would be a few who have fought the beings of the warp who might understand it better than there more naive members.

The Necrons were a strange case. They were beings of order with no souls but there was ironically something they had in common. They were not connected in anyway to the warp in anyway. In fact with a bit of work on his appearance and some acting he could even pass off his reality bending abilities as being a shard of a C’tan.

Finally there was was them. The so called chaos gods of this reality. Three of them posed moderate threats to him but with each of them he could plan around and even exploit weaknesses that they may have if it came to it. Only one of them proved to be a major threat to his plans. Tzeentch the lord of a bunch of things Discord didn’t care about to listen to.

He was a planner who seemed to have precognitive abilities and used to to change his plans on a dime. A lesser being would see this as being omiciest. However Discord was no lesser creature. Tzeentch showed he was confused and surprised at him and when he entered into his mind Discord saw his. He was a master planner who was able to make it seem he know everything. Discord could honestly admit he would give Celestia a run for her money. However he lacked one thing Discord had Experience.

He was at most one hundred thousand years old. Impressive and truly ancient to mortals but to Discord, who has existed for billions of years he was nothing but an infant and it showed. Tzeentch was trying to watch him to figure out Discord’s next move and plan for it. However Discord knew what he was doing. He was sloppy and his inexperience and it showed. It didn’t take much for Discord to hid himself from his senses.

That didn’t mean he was totally under the radar. Tzeentch couldn’t plan directly for him but his actions could be seen indirectly. If he was going to expand into the warp for allies he would need to find a way to keep to minimize his direct involvement.

Discord also remembered that feeling from before. He knew there was somewhere another potential rival or a potential ally. He would have to look for any news of this perhaps keep an eye out. After all Discord had learned that it paid to be prepared for just about anything.
