Persuasion fail?

"Do not speak to me of lies, Rogue Trader — I have faced them often enough to recognise a liar when I see one. We will revisit this conversation at a better time and discuss this lie, as well as what I presume are many others."

Persuasion success?

The Interrogator stays silent for a while. "It is possible. It is possible this is exactly what happened. But such a grave accusation is a cause for concern even if it comes from a servant of Chaos. It is a shame we could not capture the cursed Astartes alive to pry the truth out of him..."

RT: "What makes you think I would hide the fact one of my forebears was enterprising enough to trade a backwater world for ancient treasures and secrets? On the contrary, I am proud of her."

Check fail?

Heinrix's gaze becomes vacant as if he is purposely not looking at you. "Corruption runs in the blood from one generation to another, Rogue Trader. It would appear you have not escaped its grasp. We will revisit this conversation."

Check success?

"No — it is a shame that millions of people were sacrificed to serve her ego and greed rather for the good of the Golden Throne." Heinrix's gaze sweeps over you. "That would have been a worthy use of the resource."

RT: "I had no intention of hiding anything — but the time wasn't right. Or do you think that villainous heresy perpetrated by one's forebear is something that can be casually broached in snatched moments between fending off enemies?"

Persuasion fail?

"A convenient delay, hoping that hastiness and lack of attention would keep the von Valancius dynasty's little secret safe. I do not believe you, Rogue Trader. But we will revisit this later, once the circumstances are more convenient for us both."

Persuasion success?

Heinrix's eyes bore into you, then he closes them with a sigh. "Let us assume this is indeed the case. But remember — such hesitation may cost you more than a brief quarrel in the future."

RT: "Theodora may have tainted herself by consorting with Chaos, but I will correct her mistakes." (likely the wrong text but something about killing Uralon to save people I suppose)

Heinrix's expression relaxes a little. He nods. "Indeed, may the Emperor protect their wretched souls from the monsters of the warp. We must stop the Apostle before even more people die."

To Uralon:

Heinrix allows himself a thin mirthless smile. "Such a hollow trick, servant of Chaos. Leave the half-truths and deceptions for your sycophants, not servants of the Emperor."

And Uralons response:

Uralon's laughter sounds like distant peals of a warning bell. "Corpse emperor's dog, I will enjoy each moment of your suffering."

-> Just fyi - Uralon calls not only Heinrix a dog:

"Collusion is not the word one should use to describe the blind. You dogs of the corpse emperor, you all fancy yourselves paragons of courage and virtue, but a single promise of what your feeble hearts truly desire makes you forget your oaths and indulge in passions you have been suppressing for so long."

Some more of RTs lines that I liked:

"It was the Dark Apostle again. He confirmed what he had been hinting at before — Theodora was in contact with him and availed herself of the gifts of Chaos."

"Hmm. No pain, no torture. Your sorcery no longer has the power to hurt me, does it?"

-> It seems Uralon was at least one point projectioning again, not been there in person

You notice a slight twitch of his eyebrows — your words have clearly stung Uralon. The giant leans toward you before shooting back, "The psyker who connected our minds does not have the power to hurt you. But I do."

"Have you considered that recruiting works best when you offer the mark something valuable instead of 'Kneel, worm, I will make use of you'?"

"I have already found a good use for my soul, not to mention my body, so please excuse me as I reject your generous offer."

And here more lines from Uralon:

About Theodora:

"So much naivety and bravado. {name}, I wonder if your friends know about our little secret? Do they know they are fighting for the heir of a heretic and the servant of the Truth who sold me her world for a few tall tales about distant treasures?"

Uralon's face splits into a grin. "A long time ago, even before Kiava Gamma opened its gates to me, I looked for opportunities. Opportunities to reach this world. Opportunities to subjugate those who could help me forge weapons of war. Opportunities to serve my master while avoiding unnecessary wars and disruptions."

"The gifts of prophecy bestowed upon us by the master allow us to lift the veil of obscurity over the lost and forgotten treasures of the universe. Coordinates of a lost world brimming with riches, directions to a sector full of xeno-artefacts, tales of a dead vessel whose hold is stuffed with valuable cargo... Your predecessor never asked whether the source of her newfound prosperity was pure. In the end," Uralon speaks softly, not bothering to hide his malicious glee, "it was I who led her to a treasure the likes of which the Expanse had never seen before."

"Each mortal is a lock that calls for a matching key. Ones like you and your predecessor are driven by avarice. Approaching Theodora was not easy, but an overlooked flaw in her entourage and a suitable lure was all it took… No Rogue Trader can resist the call of profit, and Theodora's will faltered when I promised her treasure beyond her wildest dreams."

"That pittance was enough to keep the Rogue Trader away from Kiava Gamma and the Fabricator-Censor who laid the foundations for the coup. Theodora paid me with this world — a fair exchange, though she was unaware of it. One way or the other, you are her heir and you are here, trying to claim what is not yours. The temerity of Imperial worms will not go unanswered. Kneel like your pathetic dynasty was meant to, and I may find a better use for your body and soul."

The psyker that Uralon used to contact RT - > Uralon is going to sacrifice him

"Do you not recognise the one who reached out and touched your mind, human?" Uralon makes a small gesture — compelled by some monstrous force, the exhausted man moans and crawls closer to the Chaos Space Marine. "This is my personal vox, {name}. A psyker telepath has another use aside from dying on the altar — to serve as liaison for his master. But the potential of this tool is exhausted."

About Kiava Gamma

"It is as if a gargantuan beast stirs under your feet — tremors roll down the shaft, and a low menacing rumble makes the walls tremble. "Do you hear this roar, Rogue Trader? Terebrum longs to accept its final sacrifice. The ascension of Kiava Gamma is at hand."

"Quite the contrary, Rogue Trader. A daemonic world spawned from a planet with such infrastructure will become a foundry releasing hundreds and thousands of engines of Truth into the world every passing day. Once the metamorphosis is complete, Kiava Gamma will become the jewel in the necklace that is the Final Dawn."

Different location and Uralon being present in flesh?

"Uralon looks even more imposing in the flesh. A hulking figure clad in power armour turns to you, small flickers of warp flame still dancing at his fingertips — traces of recent sorcery. When the apostle begins to speak, the walls of the massive well echo his every word."To do the will of my lord in front of the last member of the Rogue Trader dynasty that once called this world their own! Such delightful irony, is it not? Step forward and meet your fate, the final sacrifice on my altar."
