>The scheme was in motion, a thousand conspirators all playing their parts.
>In a shadowy vault on Veradan, a lone scribe of the Administratum labored late into the night, expunging all truth from the documents before him. Where Salafié appeared by name, now the records read "unknown heretic." Indeed, whole reports were falsified to cover her blackest deeds: The account of the famed Omnicide of Penatares IV no longer spoke of a biosphere scoured by automata, but instead recorded an ordinary "Tyranid incursion." The report on the massacre of Vhormanstadt Hive, once infamous for its references to "necromechanical horrors" (the scribe shuddered even as he erased the words), now ascribed blame to mere "Chaos raiders." And so on, and so on...
>Elsewhere, across dozens of worlds, mad preachers screamed forth a suspiciously similar sermon, recounting a now-heavily-edited account of Salafié's tale. Soon, billions were familiar with the story of a "wrongfully excommunicated" Techpriestess seized and enslaved by the forces of Chaos, who even in her darkest hours persevered through faith alone, until, with no thought to her own safety, she turned the heretics' own machines against them and destroyed the Chaos warband, surviving the affair by the Emperor's grace alone. What heroism! What piety!
>Right on cue, a certain Bishop of the Ecclesiarchy, delivering the Candlemas homily in the main cathedral of Ophelia VII, revealed to the masses that he had uncovered the identity of this newly venerated folk hero; none other than Magos Salafié Al-Faiz of Hydraphur.
>No sooner had the name spread along the pilgrimage routes than the Rogue Trader's seneschal arrived on Holy Terra. Purchasing an audience in the hallowed Senatorum Imperialis, he knelt before the High Lords of Terra themselves, and presented a formal petition in the name of the Von Nassau-Mendoza dynasty to have Salafié pardoned of the charge of heresy that had hung over her these last two centuries.
