Inquire as to the nature of these defects.
Everything else has been different so far...
"What precisely is the nature of these defects, Inquisitor?" you ask.
"The strange madness exhibited by the clones causes a tendency to refuse orders and fire upon their comrades," the Inquisitor replies. "Do you believe you can maintain a hold on the afflicted individuals?"
Accept. We are experienced in handling ten times that number of mad men due to the drugs used by them. Also, inform the Inquisitor that we have just escaped a Hive World overrun by Heresy. The name of the planet is Coruscant and ordinary citizens are openly and casually proclaiming the death of the Emperor - proof of just how corrupted the planet has become. A crusade to retake the world will not be sufficient to remove the taint it is inflicted with. Exterminatus must be declared upon the world of Coruscant.
+1 to accepting
-1 to demanding exterminatus on the hive-world because one man was a heretic. Besides, if we remember correctly, we're in a time from before the Emperor revealed himself to mankind - they probbably mean some other, petty, local, emperor.
I agree with this, I also can't wait for some poor sod stormtrooper to be the first person to realize that we aren't from any place close to the current galaxy and time.
"I could keep ten thousand of those afflicted with that madness in line. I can handle a measly thousand," you reply, voice filled with a measure of pride. "I will accept this assignment gladly."
"Good. We shall contact the admiral of the fleet you are within to take you to the facility where your regiment is being created. Now, I believe there was something you wished to speak with me about?"
"Yes. Before I commandeered a vessel, I encountered heresy upon a hive world apparently known as Coruscant. I had found multiple individuals that claimed the God-Emperor was killed and another that did not know of Holy Terra. If there are not enough soldiers to launch a Great Crusade, then we must exterminatus the planet!"
The Inquisitor remained stoic throughout your speech, and, after a short period of silence, responded, "while there is apparent cause to perform either action, there is the problem of most fleets being engaged with little ability to rebuild due to the capturing of shipyards and planets by the rebel scum. It may be some time before we have the strength to perform either action upon the world."
You feel anger at the inability to purge the heretics, but you do see the sense in the Inquisitor's words. The Inquisitor then continues with asking, "Is there anything else?"
I'd say that as long as we get some other sane officers to aid in our new command, it should work out. Or we can PUNT a thousand stormtroopers. Either way, we should go for it. Either way, ask about the current state of the Imperium.
"I have been cut off from communications for some time. What is the current state of the Imperium?" you ask.
The Inquisitor proceeded to explain. "Over the past three years, much of the southern portion of the galaxy has fallen to the Rebels, with much of the Core, Colonies, and Inner Rim having been taken by their forces. With it being cut off, the Deep Core has collapsed into the control of several vying warlords that may soon be slain by the Rebels. Control over the bulk of the remaining Imperial forces has been maintained by the Inquisitorius and the remaining Moffs, but the control is tenuous and there are concerns of collapse, especially on the fringe worlds. The clones are one of the few hopes we have of maintaining order. If you prove to be able to control these clones, we may be able to restore order. Is that all you wish to know?"
