keeps_a_cool_head[Broadcasted to all citizens of the Emperor is the weekly list of names and photographs of men and women suspected to be in allegiance with the rebel forces directly]
Please peruse these names carefully and report suspicious behavior directly to any officer of the law. Compensation remains generous. All citizens are expected to do their part to keep our systems safe in times of crisis.
[Broadcasted to his inner circle of politicians, officers of the law, and the Emperor's private staff is a much larger list of supposed loyalists who are suspected to have rebel sympathies]
Please keep in mind the several dozen names of new addition at the bottom of this list.
[Open to spam, up to individual players whether they want to appear on one or both lists]

Date: 2014-03-11 12:02 am (UTC)Scorpius probably does not know the whole story: that Zane broke in to the palace, that his powers allowed him to slip past guards and detection, that he was sent to kill the Emperor but offered a deal instead. The riskiest move Zane had ever made, out of desperation, out of murderous revenge. He wanted his father dead. He got what he wanted.
But now he is the son of his father - and Straff Venture was clearly some kind of rebel, and now Zane has the Emperor's ear in a way no one else can match. Resentment breeds far and wide over Zane's role in the government.
He enjoys it. He would rather be hated than ignored. ]
I will remember.
[ A soft voice, and calm.
It is amusing to him, too, because he has never leaked any information. On the contrary: he has rarely said a word to anyone who would manipulate him for political gain, or who would use him to manipulate the Emperor. He is absolutely, scrupulously reliable. He does not depend on Scorpius' lists. ]

Augustus Demetrios Khaman. The boy resembles Aslan more than Zane, but there is, as ever, something of them both in him. ]

[ She asks genuinely, and actually means the casualness with some respect. She likes police officers. Senator Gard has proven herself to be a little bit of a meddler, but a mostly harmless and sometimes very generous one. She has a great interest in justice being done. ]
