A Let's use the cards we're given right now. The muties are in a frenzy which won't last forever, and we might be able to punch our way through before the Xenos reorganize. The sooner we can get the plant, the sooner we can safely focus on other priorities. Also, an initial breakthrough would give us an excuse to stay away from the front lines without seeming cowardly.

A plan just came to mind.

In that case,

B+. Give them the most longwinded, deadpan, detailed public history of the inquisition that we can muster

If they wanted us dead or captured, they'd have hit us anywhere but our center of strength. Therefore, they want to talk. This whole thing is just to rattle us, maybe test us, make us play to their tune. They've got us in a bad place, but it will be informative to see how they react to us going off script a bit.
I like the pithy response, but this is too good. Also, the first couple times they try to interrupt us, just roll over them, insisting that the important part is just coming up.

Also, I'd like to propose that we realize our mistake here, and now that we have a bunch of disposable skulls, and since we're paranoid anyway, we should maintain a stealthy skull perimeter around ourselves at all times, and never enter a room that hasn't been scouted well in advance. Ideally we should keep the skulls spread out enough that nobody notices we're doing this.

Plan Tomn I really don't want Devries to get a foothold, and continuing to get in good with the inquisition seems prudent. Tomn's right about staying balanced, though.

What did he put in our palm? It wasn't the electoo, and I can't see any description other than "device".

We'll not be getting the Lord Sire's favor if we don't show some willingness and ability to benefit the family as well as ourselves, and we'll be far more useful to the inquisition long term if we have that favor.

Ill refine it as

Plan 1: Delete file, delete self memories, isolate De la Torre

Plan 2: Secure meme, show unfiltered to Servitor and Dreg, isolate De la Torre, do personal viewing with filters

Also important: Call Beast/Consult Psykers/Meet with Krieg
If we do personal viewing with filters, we should be absolutely sure to also test the filtered version on a separate test subject and verify that whatever effects manifested in the one who saw it unfiltered do not manifest.

Yeah, this seems less like us being a disappointment as a Family member and more the Lord Sire wanting us to demonstrate that we can do the thing that being a Rogue Trader is all about, i.e. make a profit. Expelling enemies and fighting battles and replacing lost equipment is great and all, but we need to be able to actually generate direct income too if we want to have a chance as his successor.
