IC Commissioner: Investigator Blass. Welcome to my office. Have a seat.
Blass: Thank you for having me. I have always respected and admired your
work.
IC Commissioner: Yes, yes, very good, thank you. I called you in today to
fill you in on what’s been going on with our investigation into
the...traitors and spies that you discovered in our midst regarding these
um, O—Ocho, uhh...
Blass: You can just call them aliens, sir.
IC Commissioner: Aliens, right. Obviously I don’t know much about them, but
I’ve been briefed; emphasis on the brief. It would seem that we’re in the
middle of a secret cold civil war. Can you believe it? We have departments
undermining other departments, elected officials making hush-hush deals. The
corruption is rampant, and I’m about to get fired because I’m not doing my
job.
Blass: I don’t agree with that, sir.
IC Commissioner: Well, I think I do. I let it go this far somehow without
realizing it, and the only way the Internal Compliance Commission survives
to fight another day may be for me to step down. But that’s neither here nor
there. I think it’s somewhere in the middle. Anyway, ‘nough jokes. You have
continued to work with DExA, correct?
Blass: Yes, I’m still stationed there, even though everyone knows that I’m
an internal investigator. Don’t worry, they’ve been very nice and accepting.
IC Commissioner: Good. I hope you understand, we couldn’t have you involved
in the interviews we did with this Sergeant Sachs asshole, because of your
slight conflict of interest. Such is the price of being embedded. Now
normally, you would not be entitled to further details—you still aren’t—but
I, and the rest of the team involved, feel that someone on that side of
things ought to know what’s going on.
Blass: Okay.
IC Commissioner: Sachs does not consider himself to be a traitor. In fact,
he keeps calling the interviewers traitors instead. We have finally figured
out who he has been taking his orders from, and it could spell doom for our
country.
Blass: I don’t know that I should hear this; it sounds far above my
paygrade.
IC Commissioner: Not anymore. *hands him a document* You’ve been promoted.
Congratulations Senior Internal Investigator Blass.
Blass: Oh. Thank you, sir. This is so unexpected. *pauses* In that case, who
is it?
IC Commissioner: It’s Congressman Colonel Piers Jamison.
Blass: Holy Crap. The man prides himself in rooting out corruption.
IC Commissioner: I know.
Blass: He came up through the ICC.
IC Commissioner: I know.
Blass: No matter what, the ICC loses. We look bad whether we go after him or
not.
IC Commissioner: That’s right.
Blass:*face sinks* That’s why I’m being promoted.
IC Commissioner: You’re being promoted because you’re smart enough to know
why you’re being promoted; because only a Senior Investigator can go overt.
Congratulations again, you’re our new spokesman. Your first press conference
is tomorrow morning.
