Once opened, a magical signal is sent through to somewhere else in the Fated complex, with a long, orderly letter welcoming the reader.wrote:Open only if you also feel the need to step up against the Triad's recent slew of oppression; there's no chickening out if you do.
wrote:Fellow Fated, Takers, Heartless,
As you may know, the Harmonium have decided that the word of one Mercykiller vampire surpasses that of a Doomlord and a Factor; and that they have a higher authority on taxing than we do, all because one corrupted Mercykiller seeks to remove her political opponents. Meanwhile, her minions rally behind their corrupted leadership wanting to slaughter us like lambs the moment we show them a sign of weakness.
This situation has gone on for long enough, we will not stand by idly as these fanatics of abusing the Law for their own gains tread all over our reputation and efforts. No, my brothers and sisters, starting today, we will make sure they regret the day they decided to cross our paths. We will aim our efforts at economically crippling two thirds of the Triad of Law, with the notable exempt of the Fraternity of Order with whom we have yet to have any issues.
As of today, the Fated compound is on high security yet again, with all representatives of the Harmonium and Mercykillers unconditionally barred entry; every other faction must sign several security documents should they seek entry, and will be under constant surveillance. Clueless are barred entry aswell, we don't need sheep spying on us either.
We are also in a temporary alliance with the Doomguard until this matter is resolved, as we two are the primary target of these tyrannical measures. This does not mean they are exempt from taxes or anything else, but they will prove useful should a more martial approach be deemed necessary and we will also offer legal or informative assistance should it be requested.
You will all receive the Guvner approved documentation that proves our legal precedence and rights in the following matters, giving these lawful fanatics no choice but to either accept our demands or face consequences from their Guvner allies as well.. Our plan of striking back has four separate phases:
I. We are revitalizing our effort of tying all loose ends with our previous Mercykiller alliance: this means we have put all of their records on probation yet again, meticulously scanning them for any inconsistency or tax evasion, after which we will simultaneously expose and extort their debts them once and for all. I am most curious about Factor Charae's activities with the semi-criminal Consortium before and during the Far Realm Invasion. Dig up as much as you can about the relationship.
II. In an effort to create a greater dependency on the Doomguard among these militant wings, we are hereby increasing the taxes involved on all out-of-city military (including interrogation) equipment imports by 50%. These notions are effective immediately, and as such off-world arms dealers will be placed under heavy surveillance to make sure they comply.... failure to do so need not be explained at this stage.
III. Third, the Harmonium have displayed a most concerning attitude in spreading around the city in their fortified outposts. The Bureau of Real-Estates will make sure that these outposts suffer from a heavy economic burden, in a newly passed taxing procedure. However, anyone attempting to make use of this should not go alone, there's no telling how the Harmonium will react at first.
IV. A list of all Harmonium and Mercykilller properties within the city are to be assembled and forwarded to the Doomguard so they know exactly where to apply pressure. Be careful not to include anything used by the Fraternity of Order, we have no qualms with them.
Should our operations succeed, our reputation as a faction that shouldn't be triffled with will be reinforced, and certain people will suffer a summary sacking. And finally, thank you for standing up for your faction when it mattered.
Factor Ra'zeth
