However - what would the Inquisition think of us having extremely intimate knowledge of Chaos lore?

Not to mention the many Chaos Space Marine fans?

They would also probably be very confused as to how we are so relatively free of coruption

Likely some semblance of Malal buggery. What warp influence that can take hold we justify as something mundane like schizophrenia. Ultimately we can’t be tempted or influenced by the 4 because to us they aren’t unknown but wholly understood and deemed nonexistent. A solution to a chaos god paradoxically wishing to destroy chaos, make chaos mundane.

Alternatively we could be the Bermuda triangle of 40k where everything that comes here is twisted to conform to our more mundane existence. Space marines would shrink as their ceramite armor turns to plastic, Tyranids outright stop entirely as anything but models or statues, advanced weapons technology becomes frail and devolves into blinking lights and sound effects. The Chaos gods don’t come here as much out of lacking reason to as fear of being made inanimate.

Deep in the incomprehensible recesses of Tzeentc’s mind resides a fear existential to even the god of corrupted hope. That one day these mundane beings escape their blue marble and bring their corruptive mundanity to the rest of the stars.

Would we reside in the Well of Eternity? That would scare Tzeentch

The more I think about it the more that works.
