Wherever
humanity congregates in large cities, sewers and drainage systems are
likely to be built and, with time, the refuse of mankind is likely to
find life-forms that fester within it. More likely than not, these
creatures are often carriers of disease and if left unchecked they can
lay waste to entire populations. This is a threat found not only found
within worlds, but also in star-ships and stations, which can pick up
all sort of undesirable pests from travellers.
When the
Administratum recognizes this threat, it usually procures agents from
the underclasses to undergo the dangerous task of controlling the
vermin population. These desperate men and women are officially called
Pest-Controllers, though there are other denominations depending on
local culture. While there are a lucky few who don't have to deal with
much more than violent rat-analogues, the unfortunate Pest-Controllers
operating in advanced or remote areas are likely to meet anything from
ferocious flesh-eating bugs to mind-controlling parasites.
At
times the Inquisition might find use for one trained as a
Pest-Controller. Those who survive their first months of activity are
well aware of the dangers lurking in the dark areas of their operations
and can be valuable guides for Acolytes trying to find their way
through unsavory corridors. The Ordo Xenos in particular has ample use
for those used to confronting bizarre creatures, so successful
Pest-Controllers might find themselves drafted into the Inquisition's
service to "control" even more dangerous targets.
