SecretaryThe data is superbly collated, and the diagram clearly reflects the actions of the rebels. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you stare at the coordinates, you cannot discern any logic to the attacks.
YOU"I want to know details. Where have the rebels struck, and how?"
Secretary"Of course, of course, I would be delighted to furnish you with all the information I have. In the last few months, fifteen organised attacks and seven terrorist attacks have been perpetrated. Irrigation equipment has been sabotaged in agrarian sectors three to five, transport routes two-seven, four-thirteen, and also..."
Secretary"I suppose... I suppose this will not tell you much. Please." With a fussy gesture, he presses several buttons on his data-slate screen, and a three-dimensional map with coordinates of the attacks appears on your cogitator.
SecretaryYou cast a practised eye over the intelligence provided to you and instantly get a grasp on the situation.
SecretaryThe data is superbly collated, and the map clearly displays the actions of the rebels. At first glance, there seems to be no logic to their campaign, but after analysing the data and the features of the terrain, you notice a clear system indicating a geographical pattern to their attacks.

YOU"Who is directing the rebels? Does anyone know?"
Secretary"The rebels are well armed and well trained. What's more, the governor's advisors are inclined to think that the instigators of the rebellions are very familiar with the planet's terrain and climate. My ordinates are going through registration records day and night, looking for individuals who have completed military training, but we have so far been unable to identify the scoundrel."

My scribes have been run off their feet, keeping records of all the public hearings and executions, but I am confident that the governor will find a solution soon."

Secretary"Your Lordship/Ladyship, I painstakingly record every conversation with high-ranking personages, and afterward I fill out all seven accompanying forms personally." Atilius rolls up his completed scroll in a practised gesture, stows it away, and pulls out a new one. "Your words and judgements are in good hands."

Secretary"The governor is a superb leader. She possesses an excellent grasp of all matters and never uses an incorrect form for a given situation.

Secretary"Moreover, Yrliet's particular abilities could be an interesting subject of study for the Magos Biologis. That elongated head shape, those eyes... Judging by the skull that was given to me to send on to Footfall, such developmental anomalies on Janus are not a quirk of nature, but some kind of inheritable trait..."
YOU"What skull are you talking about?"
Secretary"A most remarkable item, I must say, a true anomaly! One moment..."
SecretaryAfter rummaging in a nearby container, Atilius draws out a parcel, which he immediately unwraps. "Here it is... I believe the finished piece was intended to be given as a gift to the governor, but under the current circumstances, I doubt I will be able to send it to Footfall any time soon."
YOU"Hmm. A curiosity like this would look very nice on my desk..."

YOU"Speaking of the von Valancius dynasty: when were the last shipments sent?"
Secretary"Oh, Your Lordship/Ladyship, our supply shipments are all in order: all foodstuffs and other items are ready for export and are simply awaiting the arrival of the transport ships. However, given the current circumstances on the planet, Janus could not provide even one tranche more than what is already prepared. I am certain the situation will be rectified in the near future!"

Come to think of it, that would have been several decades ago... I do hope the logisticians responsible for such an unforgivable oversight lose their heads over this!"

A few nobles have even been killed, and worst of all — some of the victims occupied important administrative posts! Until their replacements pass their checks, complete all their induction forms, and go through the official appointment procedure, important paperwork is going unsigned! It's a bureaucratic catastrophe!"

Heinrix"The absence of a required signature is, of course, the most horrifying thing about this situation."
Secretary"Indeed it is! Financial reports, logistics directives, waybills for food shipments... Without the signature of the most respected and now deceased head of House Zakaris, shipments to settlements in Aegis-24 have been stopped. The heirs are still dealing with the transfer of holdings, and incoming reports tell us that a quarter of the workings in the affected settlements have already died of starvation, while most of those remaining have left the perimeter and have not yet returned to their designated places!"

Secretary"If things continue in this vein, I dare not even imagine what it could lead to! There are worlds that are ravaged by war for generations... generations, Your Lordship/Ladyship! Like that deranged planet by the Nameless Star — so close to our own peaceful system. The inhabitants there supposedly live under the patronage of Rogue Trader Winterscale — I shudder to think what he has created there!"
end of branch
YOU"What do you know about the attack on the estate?"
Secretary"A disgraceful incident, simply disgraceful! I cannot believe these scoundrels would dare to come so close, and to drag the nobility into this as well... If they penetrated the estate, that means they had help from some worthless servant or other. Security is currently questioning the survivors, but the culprit has not been found. Yet."

YOU"I require a seal. Again."

Secretary(sequence)
JaeJae's expression is pensive as she twists a lock of hair around her metal finger. "Interesting, shereen. I assumed we would be dealing with servitors, but no — some places in your domain still have this work being performed by people of flesh and blood!"
Secretary"I beg your pardon? W-what's this about servitors? I have faithfully performed my sacred duties to the Imperium and the Administratum all my life! And guarding the seals is part of that! And after half a century, not a single seal damaged! I keep them in a special case and I oil the handles every month, as the rules stipulate!"
JaeJae shrugs. "I am merely repeating the word of the Master of Seals on Dargonus — servitors have replaced an entire category of lowly bureaucrats assigned to the von Valancius planets, oh, around ten years ago now."
Secretary"But... After seventy years of service — and not a single directive! Not from Holy Terra or from Dargonus! A complete breakdown in communication! What a farce, what an insult against all processes..." Scarlet patches blossom on the secretary's pale face. "But this is easily remedied! If the Administratum requires such a servant, then I will immediately begin preparations for servitorisation. The will of the Lex Imperialis is supreme!"
JaeJae nervously licks her lips — she clearly did not expect this response to her remark. "Atilius, I do not think the Exalted One has any particular desire to see you lobotomised and turned into a mindless clanking ghoul just because someone somewhere changed a law..."
YOU"Atilius, there is no need for that. Yes, any servitor can place a seal. But can it do so while granting me a sincere smile or impressing me with its impeccable finesse and attention to detail? I think not. But you can."
SecretaryAfter lots of prevarication, Atilius's hunched figure sags. "Of course, of course you are right. I will continue to serve Janus and the von Valancius protectorate as before. And today I will dispatch a request for copies of edicts issued by the Imperium over the last fifty years. Who knows what else we have missed here on Janus?"
JaeJae lets out a breath, obviously relieved. "That is wonderful, Atilius, just wonderful... Just don't go poking at your eyes with a long needle — at least until you receive a direct order to do so from your precious Administratum..."
Secretary"Here you are." The secretary proffers the sealed certificate with care. "And may the Emperor bless your path!"

SecretaryAtilius winces, his eyes nervously darting around. "The new colony leadership issued a number of... irregular decrees. We have been obliged to spend prodigious amounts of resources to relocate agri-complexes and warehouses from the so-called 'L-Than Restricted Forest Area.' We also regularly receive denunciations of various degrees of nonsensicality, all of which share a common theme: they all accuse the people in charge of having ties to... foreign elements. From forest spirits to, Emperor preserve us, agents of xenos."

Although not without concessions on our part, in particular regarding the placement of our new agri-complexes."
