SCION: INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE EXECUTIVE CLASSIFIED INTERNAL COMMUNICATION

SENDER:	OKONMA, PATRICIA K.
SUBJECT:	AUTHORITY MAXIMUM

 

Urgent notice to all commandants. Grand Commander VANCE, HILDRED D. has been injured in the line of duty and is unfit for command. In my capacity as Deputy Grand Commander, authority maximum rests in me until further notice.

RDT SENSHIELD has been incapacitated. All units are to return immediately to conventional munitions.

Hostile individual MAHONEY, PAIGE E. has escaped Inquisitorial custody with assistance from at least one espionage agent. We are interrogating all members of the Archon’s personnel, up to and including those holding first-level security clearance, to uncover the identity of the collaborator.

Internal and international border authorities have been alerted that MAHONEY, PAIGE E. is at large. All measures must be taken to conceal from the public that this individual is alive. OPERATION ALBION’s revised priority is to eradicate her remaining supporters, known as the MIME ORDER, in the capital.

Finally:

Due to the failure of diplomacy with the relevant foreign powers, the need for immediate action in the IBERIAN PENINSULA is critical. OPERATION MADRIGAL will now proceed with immediate effect. All non-executive communication concerning this operation will be suspended from January 6.

Let us look forward, as a new year dawns on our empire, to casting our bounds ever farther—and onward still, to the ends of the world. This house forever grows.

Glory to the Suzerain.

Glory to the anchor.
