Make him tell us where he and his buddies lived/hung out, then go there to subjugate the similarly impoverished.
"Do you have any more friends I should know about? If so where do you lot usually hang out?"You ask the wannabe ganger while still clutching his hand, however the reminder doesn't seem to be enough as he swings his fist catching you in the side of the head where your implants make up more of the skulls than anything else. The youth screams as you hear something in his hand crack from the blunt force, shaking your head and mumbling something along the lines of 'you shouldn't have done that' you grab two fingers and push them back violently causing a shriek of pain to fill the warehouse before the youth passes out from the pain, in no hurry you wait the few minutes it'll take him to recover. As he wakes he seems to not recognize where he is, but that quickly changes when he notices you still hovering at his side, this time when you speak you put a bit of a mechanical growl behind it to frighten him,
"Tch, now why would you do that? We were having a perfectly amicable conversation there, and all you needed to do was tell me what I want and you wouldn't have to suffer but you had to go and do something foolish like strike me. Now this time I expect an answer ... or it'll be more than a finger I break to get you talking."This time you get precisely what you wanted out of him,
"It's just us, and four other guys who got together to try and get by man. We live out of an old apartment building a few streets over, broken neon sign and a man on the door outside ya can't miss it just please for the love of the Emperor don't break anything else."
Maybe also some black market dealers and corrupt officials.
"You know anyone in the black market here that I can get in touch with? Hmmm, while we're at it you know of any explicitly corrupt Administratum1, or planetary government officials?"By this point the youth is starting to calm down, perhaps assuming he might actually get out of this alive if he complies,
"Uh, Black market, yeah I think I know a guy. He goes by Benrikson, runs a store near Eastway not far from here called 'Berik's Exotic Emporium' or some shit like that though I'm not sure how connected he actually is so he might just be a small time guy. As for your other question their probably are some, but I don't have the first clue about who they would be or how to get in touch with them. I'm just a street thug man."
You nod, and reply,
"Good, good. Thanks for your help."Your words send a smile to the youth's face which quickly turns to horror as your hands reach out and grab both sides of his head, the sight of him about to beg for mercy spurs you into action, and you give a sharp twist that ends in the sound of bones cracking before the youth falls limp.
Oh an since we have extensive knowledge of the imperioum then we should hypothesize ways they can find and kill us.[/b]
As you loot the corpses for anything useful, and hide them away in the back you run through a mental list of the agents of the Imperium you're most likely to face.
Adeptus Arbites - The police force of the Imperium who enforce the
Lex Imperialis contained within the Book of Judgement, a vast list of laws that govern the entirety of the Imperium and which the endeavor to ensure is followed though they focus more on the broader aspects of the law which all worlds are subject to leaving local laws to be enforced by local law enforcement. The Arbites use weapons such as the powerl maul, and suppression shield to put down riots and restore order while more serious infractions warrant the use of lethal force, and weapons like shotguns and the boltgun. So long as you do not commit some serious infraction against the Imperium that can be traced back to you then you need not worry about them and their cyberhounds.
Planetary Defense Force - PDF are regiments raised on world for the general purpose of planetary defense, and assistance to the law enforcement in severe emergencies. They are not as well trained, or nearly as well equipped as the Imperial Guard in most cases though for a fortress world like this they are like to be as well armed, and disciplined as your standard regiment of Imperial Guardsmen if not better. Their numbers are less than that of IG, but what they lack in numbers they can make up for in sheer spirit, and desire to protect their homeworld from the horrors of the Imperium's foes.
Imperial Guard - The nigh inexhaustible armies of the Emperor, the Imperial Guard range from simple foot soldiers to regiments of super heavy tanks fielding a dozen or so Baneblades capable of spewing death upon any of the Emperor's enemies no matter their number or strength. The IG are forged in the crucibles of war, well equipped, and well disciplined (their are exceptions) making them a fearsome foe should their wrath be brought down upon you, especially at this stage where you have no allies or resources.
Adeptus Mechanicus - To the Mechanicus you are an abomination, a heretic so fall that they would destroy entire segments of a city simply to achieve your death for you have betrayed their teachings, you have twisted their religion and spit in its face as you changed the machine spirit and its housing without regard to the teachings. Fielding combat servitors, skitarii (human warriors implanted with bionics and implants), and tech-priests who have devoted themselves to the way of war if they find you they will hunt, and they will not stop until either they lie completely destroyed or you are dead for your heresies.
Inquisition - The Inquisition is all powerful, existing outside of the Imperium's normal power structure it answers only to itself and the God Emperor himself should he rise up from his golden throne and send them some order (not likely). They are capable of requisitioning any facet of the Imperium's armies, any asset in existence to hunt their targets. What you know of them is little aside from the fact that they watch for heresy and threats to the Imperium and end it with the aid of anyone, and everyone. Including the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, of the Grey Knights and Deathwatch chapters. The Grey Knights are daemon hunters, focusing their time and training to be able to effectively fight the Threat Beyond while the Deathwatch are elites from almost every loyal chapter who have proved their effectiveness against the Xenos threat and are used as kill squads to annihilate the Xenos threat wherever they are needed.

1 - Administratum. The Administratum oversees the entirety of the Imperium ensuring that tithes are given in the form of food, weapons, clothe, soldiers, etc. and generally acts like a massive galaxy spanning bureaucratic cancer does trying to keep the Imperium running.
