==Synopsis==
[[Custodian Guard]] [[Amon Tauromachian]] infiltrates the [[Imperial Palace]] as part of a '[[Blood Games|Blood Game' ]] designed to discover weaknesses in the palace's security. Ambushed by three workers when he attempts to purchase some drugs he effortlessly kills them and uses the drugs to temporarily stop his heart, allowing him to hide in a cargo crate and fool the security system that scans it. Inside the palace he locates the [[Emperor]] and makes it as far as raising his blade to strike before being intercepted by [[Constantin Valdor]].
Given a new mission, Amon and fellow Custodian [[Haedo Emankon]] investigate Pherom Sichar, lord of Hy Brasil, who is suspected of leaking information to [[Horus]]. Infiltrating a meeting they attempt to arrest Sichar but are stopped by [[Rogal Dorn]], who reveals that Sichar is a triple agent who is posing as a traitor but working for the Imperium. At that moment an assassin strikes, killing Sichar and eight others with a bomb before fleeing on a speeder rigged with explosives. Amon gives chase, kills the assassin and manages to send the speeder up into the atmosphere before it explodes.
