Introduction

The Inquisition. Ruthless organization or humanity’s savior? Difficult question indeed. Destroying worlds with population measuring in millions has always been a hard decision, yet when the fate of the countless billions of the Imperium of Man is under threat, the Inquisitors do what they must. No more, no less.

The three great Ordos of the Inquisition, Ordo Malleus, Ordo Xenos and Ordo Hereticus, had for 10 000 years kept humanity safe. But how do they manage, when the only military forces connected to them are the Grey Knights and the Sisters of Battle (even though they truly serve the Ecclesiarchy)? The truth about the founding of the Inquisition is lost in the millennia past, but the most common belief if that the Emperor himself laid out the basics for its organizations and rights a mere moments before his ascension in the Golden throne. And indeed in their rights is hidden the Inquisition’s power, for when a Inquisitor faces a threat bigger than he or his retinue can handle, he can requisition almost anything he needs, from the ships of the mighty Imperial Navy to the armor and men of the Imperial guard.

or it to be possible, each Inquisitor is granted an Inquisitorial seal, its form varies, yet is know that it could be a medallion, ring or a signet. Of course even the threat of arco-flagellation for any would-be forger of the seal would be an empty threat should the seal was a mere symbol. But the Inquisitorial seal is something more, it is a complex coding device granting access to information of the highest levels of secrecy.

The beggining

And now if you had endured through my introduction I believe you know what my new mod is. I had made up my mind for converting a flash drive in the form of Inquisitorial seal. Or at least in the form I think it could have.

The victim

I dug up an old extension from a dead flash drive and decided to made a new body for it, so it would serve with the seal.

In CorelDRAW I crafted the plans for the new body. Then the ready file along with some proper acrylic pieces was send to laser cutting. And in return I had these:

Which I send to a cutting machine in order to get this:
