keeps_a_cool_head | Log 0008 - Cosplaying as Judge Dredd, apparently

[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]

Thank you for the update.

Most useful. [Francis is obstensibly loyal. Certainly, he's never displayed interesting in being disloyal and he's certainly always obsequious to those he can't control. He just occasionally lets people slip by if there's an interest to be served.]

Slight critique, if you wouldn't mind it? Possibly better if the word 'crisis' doesn't pass your lips? Suggests you lack control of the situation.

[ He suspects that if Scorpius were truly given free rein, he would list Zane on those suspected.

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. ]

Another day, another list.

Is this another set of guessing games, or have you made progress?

[ 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. ]

[Many of the political apparatus are serene; emotionless, as if they were all the risen dead instead of only some of them. Adept Charis, on the other hand, tends to sound bored and irritated by nearly everything.]

Well you're as subtle as ever. Has it occurred to you that fearmongering is exactly what we don't need at the moment? We are trying to prevent a large-scale panic.

[Someone here is trying to do a backwater-world accent. Badly.]

Think you've got some of those wrong, mate. I know for a fact some of those are innocent men. And women. And, you know. Various. I'm not judging. Unless you are.
