Oversight

In this Our World story, Director Fifticinco learns some of what his generals have been up to.

This is a transcript from Discord.

## Story

```
Surprise! A story at this time of night? Yessiree! We’ve got characters to introduce! We find ourselves at the GLACIA HQ’s top floor.

Fifticinco:
*Fifticinco walks into the conference room to find General E. Vulcan talking to two agents.* “Hmm?”

```

```
Vulcan:
*Vulcan notices the Director.* “Oh! Director sir! I’m so glad you’re here!”

```

```
Fifticinco:
“What’s going on here?”

Vulcan:
“Sir, you know the Seraphinas, right? They’re the top agents in their field.”

```

```
Elk:
“It’s been a while, but we’ve met before. I can’t expect you to memorize all your agents’ faces, sir.”

```

```
Fifticinco:
“Elk and Penny, right? I could never forget about the two of you.”

```

```
Penny:
“We’re too good at our jobs, hun. We’ve got the Director remembering our names!” *Penny laughs.*

```

```
Vulcan:
“We’ve been discussing some important business. You remember how we fired all of our investigators during the Druids case?” [This was not *during* the Druids case, it was actually after]

Fifticinco:
“I remember that I didn’t authorize it.” [Yes, this implies that Flame did it. :P]

Vulcan:
“Yes, well… The Seraphinas will be taking their place.”

Elk:
“We won’t let you down, sir!”

Penny:
“Yeah! We’ll do our best!”

Fifticinco:
“Thank you, detectives. You’re dismissed.”

The Seraphinas leave, leaving the Director and the General alone.

Fifticinco:
“General…”

Vulcan:
“Yes sir?”

Fifticinco:
“Who authorized their promotion?”

Vulcan:
“Sir… You are the director of this agency. Yet you and I both know you’re only a figurehead.”

Fifticinco:
“Excuse me?”

Vulcan:
“You get to play the hero of the people, be the face of GLACIA, while the Generals make the important decisions.”

Fifticinco:
“I still have the power to fire you if you step out of line.”

Vulcan:
“True. But I am working in the agency’s best interest. Just as General Flame has his Burning Rangers, I now have the Seraphinas working under me.”

Fifticinco:
“...I still sit on the General council, you know. I should be informed of these sorts of decisions.”

Vulcan:
“I apologize, sir. It won’t happen again.”

Fifticinco:
“It had better not.”

Later. In his office, the Director pulls up a screen.

Fifticinco:
“Call Amy Rose.”
COMPUTER: CALLING AMY ROSE

A pink hedgehog appears on screen.

Amy:
“Hi, Director. What can I do for you?”

Fifticinco:
“General Rose. I just called to check in on you. And… I also had a question.”

Amy:
“Fire away.”

Fifticinco:
“Have you been to any of the council meetings lately?”

Amy:
“Yes… and no. I’ve been too busy here on South Island to come all the way there, but I’ve been joining in virtually. It works, but it’s more difficult to make my voice heard when I can’t use my hammer to get people’s attention.”

Fifticinco:
*Fifticinco chuckles slightly.* “Good to hear. So has anything of note happened in these meetings recently? I’ve been too busy to join in.”

Amy:
“Hm… Not really, unless you want to hear about–”

```

```
Inigo:
*Suddenly, a capybara in a hat appears on another screen.* “DIRECTOR! GENERAL ROSE! WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MATTER?”

```

```
Fifticinco:
“Oh, General Mogotsi! Nice of you to join us. Nothing’s the matter, we were just catching up.”

Amy:
*Amy is annoyed.*
“As I was sayi–”

Inigo:
“WELL YOU’RE USING THE SECURE LINE SO I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. MY BAD.”

Amy:
*Amy is more annoyed.*

Fifticinco:
“Since you’re here, General. Can you tell me about the recent council meetings?”

Amy:
*Amy exasperatedly lifts her hands to say “Why am I even here?”*

Inigo:
“SIR! THE MEETINGS HAVE BEEN FINE. GENERAL VULCAN HAS BEEN BRIEFING US ON THE ILLUMINA INCIDENT, AS WELL AS THE STEPS WE SHOULD TAKE TO AVOID ANOTHER EVENT LIKE THAT.”

Fifticinco:
(I see… So Vulcan’s just taking precautions. Good to know…) “Thank you, General Mogotsi. General Rose, you were saying something?”

Amy:
“Nevermind…”

Fifticinco:
“Alright. Well. Thank you for your time, Generals. Fifticinco Out.” *Fifticinco exits the call.*
(What is up with all this though?...)

The director ponders. And maybe we’ll find out the answer! What is General Vulcan up to? No good? Probably! Stay tuned to ALL THE STORIES for answers to these questions and more!
