Since there seems to be a few learned 40k scholars around here, I figured I'd ask a question that's been bugging me for awhile.

**Spoilers for Eisenhorn, Ravenor, and Bequin series**

What the hell happened to the original Bequin? I know that she was injured and placed into stasis and that Ravenor had procession of the stasis pod during the whole Molotch affair.

But then Lexicanum says the following:

>In 461.M41 the ship holding her stasis tube went missing during a routine jump.

Are we really to believe that even after being heavily sanctioned Ravenor would let Bequin's stasis pod get away from him? Did I miss a short story or something or is that one line in the Bequin books all there is regarding her fate? It reads like an Inquisitorial redaction for what really happened.

An Inquisitorial redaction? Careful with that heresy lest you become a dilation Servitor. Following this sub now. I have never painted a miniature or even handled a game piece. I haven't even read any of the books. Yet, somehow, I find that I have learned and know a fuckton about WH40K.

Shit didn't even see this post.

I totally thought the same then when I read Pariah. There is another book in the series which I have missed (and you may have) called The Magos came out in 2018 (Pariah came out in 2012) which is a collection of short stories which I think ties eisenhorn/ravenor and the gap between them and the bequin books.

Probably worth checking out. I haven't yet but it's on my list :-)

I read it, though it was a year or two ago. I don't remember anything detailing what happened. I know the pod was on the rogue trader vessel Hinterlight that Ravenor used. It seems odd that a vessel specifically designed for stealth would just up and vanish. It reads like they went off the radar when Ravenor went rogue during the Pariah series but I don't know.

Maybe he still has it and is going to use it as leverage against Eisenhorn in the last book.

Do you think it's worth checking out?

The other thing was how/why the squad got split up, like I get Eisenhorn can be seen as a heretic/chaotic good etc.

Yeah could be leverage or somehow ties into the clone world run by Valdor

Will just have to wait and see in another few years or so

Yeah absolutely. Some of the stories are slow (or repeats of ones there were already out there) but I can think of at least three off the top of my head that are great. The penultimate story is really good too.
