[Ref.  Malchar IV, a mercury storm rolls over Hive Golgorod]

Asset 409Sigma reports little to no involvement of insurgent group A809237, The Crows, at block riots in Sector 83, Quadrant Delta (83D). 

It has been three weeks since the last incursion. 

Their use of ancient god-engine munitions speaks to some incredible source of funding as yet undiscovered. 

• These munitions when fired, set off controlled breaches in realspace as the missile slips into the warp to evade detection and out of the warp to close on its target. 
• Coordinated operations are common, wherein heretic ritualists and sorcerers then widen and prolong the breach at each end. 
• The target zone also suffers a catastrophic event, as the missile slips out of the warp and explodes.  Here, the insidiousness of their ritualists is illustrated.
• Through some dark sorcery, the enemy munition empowers and expands the micro breach created in its exit from the warp, and uses the resulting detonation to birth a relatively small warp storm on the planet's surface.  This is obviously catastrophic,  These storms have lasted anywhere from 3 hours to 32 years. 

They first tested this method at Port Rime, in the Dreadmaw Expanse, 70 years ago [952.M41].  The result was a 78% loss of functionality, and the birth of Yawning Scythe, effectively encasing the entire station.  Mechanicus Reparatory Crusade Jackal-Epsilon 309, departed from Noctus Cog just three years later.  Elements of the Black Templar Godspear Crusade, assisted by the Angels Apocryphal Fourth Company, purged the station under the watch of Enclave Dreadmaw in partnership with the Order of Our Lady the Innocent and the Malchan Praetoriate 530th.

Our research continues.  The key questions remain:

1) Where did they get the weapons?

• The Veritoi 
• Malexii Imperialis Tenebrax

2) Are the Crows connected to any other identified heretic elements in the sector? 

• The House of the Dog  
• The Sighted
• The Exultant
• [REDACTED] EPSILONEPSILONORPHEUSREX [REDACTED]
• Scourgemire 

3) Is there any correlation to xenos elements in sector?

• Spine Klaive Kabal
• Pirate Legions of the Dread Maw [SUBFOLDER: HOUSE OF DAL'RUIN//NEPHILOS THE EXILE COMMODORE]
• Zarithax [SECURITY LOCKOUT:ASTARTESSANGUINE//CONTACT ASTARTES LIAISON USAT VENATHI]
• HellFREEKZ [Incredibly unlikely.]

4) Are these events connected to Rictus Prime?

• See Subfolder ASTROCAST RECORDING XXRICTUSPRIMEXX-981.998M41

As for the Malchan labor unions, Asset409Sigma believes the riots are a result of poor leadership.  He recommends vetting a replacement governor.

Thank you for your time, marm.
