W: Rupert, your'e back - have a decent time?
R: Cant complain Wolfgang, is he in?
W: Oh yes and waiting - you know he doesn't like to wait, such a 'now' person....
R: yeah, got it....
ANSBACH-HOFFEN! Send him in....!
W: At once Herr Lietung-Direktor (enjoy yourself Rupert...)
R: Herr Lietung-Direktor, reporting as instructed.
OSVB: Direktor Perignon......what kept you - wings clipped? Now - the lot, the South-East, how did it go?
R: Bit of a lark, few casualities, large cavalry engagement - the Oesterschadeners performed perfectly as direkted. The galloper-gun concept is more than sound, I suggest enabling a complete battery for each cavalry command. The battalion headquaters advisory Unterdirektors committee have advised the newly raised Monte-Criston volunteers battalion be maintained on establishment. We should deploy in brigade strength in the region.....
OSVB: Good. Then the independent reports are reconciled. You will return and maintain command in the distrikt. Two regular battalions will be posted within two moons. The galloper-guns will be raised to a full battery. The Oebel Dragoons order you gave has been recinded - they have another job - another light cavalry regiment will be deployed to brigade with the Oesterschadeners. Direktorix Katarin is flying in tonight - you leave in three days.
R: Very good Herr Lietung-Direktor.
OSVB: I didn't ask for your approval de Perignon - there is a full meeting of the board in two days time. The Herr Eye has listed the new Direktion to be undertaken, that is all, begone...
ANSBACH-HOFFEN! In here NOW!
W: (under his breath)..."such a 'now' person"........

....Die Annalen der Zeit....
......translation continues......
"......by the middle of the 18th century, the Direktorat of Herrschaden had continued unabated....technology, reason, science and business had flourished for over 5 decades...the so-called 'crowned-heads' had noted the incredible advancements in Herrschaden food production, animal husbandry, industry, commerce and in particular, military capability..."
"......there was no question as to how the original Direktorenschelle had continued in control of the nation...it did not seem to matter, as the regime was obviously benign and non-expansionist. The Direktorats 'War of Reason' against 'Superstition' had never been relinquished. The fact that the Direktors refused to acknowledge any politics or religion, had resulted in huge and unexplained losses of men and material from various forces arrayed against it, evil, pus-soaked, pox-riddled forces..."
"......incredulous observers to many military engagements involving Herrschaden forces, were reduced to a near-catatonic state, by witnessing Herrschaden innovations, innitative and sheer brutal audacity - as one observer wrote: 'the unterdirektor of this regiment simply said: "it's all business".....' (the reporter who had written this comment, later suicided, reason/s unknown)....."
".....by the time of the rise of Fredericks Prussia, Herrschaden inventions and capability had so impressed the new King, he had sent a personal invitation to Lietung-Direktor Otto Schwarz von Blitzenkruz, to attend an engagement in Silesia, against the arrayed Russo-Austrian (or is that Austro-Russian?) forces, threatening Prussia.....naturally, the invitation was replied to by a junior member of the Direktorenschelle, with the comment "we will see what we feel like on the day, we cordially request you dont bother us anymore with your petty war, however, we do hope you enjoy it immensly - as will we"..........."
"as the annals show, some Herrschaden units were dispatched, because, "they had nothing better to do at the time...."

Interview mit Unterdirektor Josepf Haltermann auf Lifonlia, again continued...
(Translation):
"The interview here transcribed demonstrates the severe nature of the fanaticism of The Ordo of The Bloodied Martyr. Herrschaden has incontrovertible evidence, that this sinister organization is active in several nations now current - with particular physical evidence in the case of The Lifonlian War of Succession"...
E: =How far did you ride forward of the village Herr Unterdirektor?=
H: "Herr Eye, well within the limits of my jurisdiction as clearly stated under Article 31, paragraph 16, point (h). It was not necessary to proceed any further, for at this location - a somewhat small piece of raised ground, yet with good view in all direktions - I personally verified the scouts report".
E: =And in summary Herr Unterdirektor?=
H: "I found a huddle of 7 living villagers, who had been forced to commit an act of self-flagellation. Another 12 had been crucified, with one of these still alive; 24 had been impaled, 8 of which were still shreiking in a most undirekted manner and upon investigation of a still smouldering ruin, of a building I can only describe as some place of superstitious worship, the remains of at least 50, who had been immolated alive. One of our forward scouts was at this juncture bought before me Herr Eye".
E: =Now in detail, Herr Unterdirektor=...
H: "Herr Eye, this man was a Lifonlian volunteer, who had been in the party to first discover the scene. In a moment of compassion, he had mercifully shot 2 of the still surviving impaled persons, before he had been direkted to do so. As these survivors had not been korrektly interviewed by myself, in accordance with Article 56, paragraph 13, point (v) and due to the convenience of hot coals from the extermination fire still smouldering, I had the man arrested, branded on the forhead with the Mark of The Eye of Knowledge and placed in custody, pending future service. On the spot I convened a field tribunal. All evidence was presented and I personally sentenced the man to 20 years service in the Liebregt."
E: =Ah, the making of a true Direktor, Herr Unterdirektor, what happened next?=
H: "The articles are quite unambigious, Herr Eye. As the crucified and impaled villagers were of no use in interrogation, I ordered them shot. The 7 survivors were placed in custody with the remaining 40 from our original sweep. The defiant third man from my original interview, immediately replaced the former compassionate trooper and the remainder sent with escort to our relocation and protektion camp facility, some 25 miles distant. The village was then totally destroyed, to deny enemy usage. I am quite pleased to report Herr Eye, that of the 46 expatriated, 22 have survived to serve The Direktorat".
E: =Excellent Herr Unterdirektor, excellent. Your statement and personal actions concur with my own exact independent findings in the investigation of this incident. You are hereby promoted to Direktor forthwith. You will be posted to The Schwabian Leauge, with a company of Oebel Dragoons, I know the Ordo is active down there too. Guards! Remove the blindfold and release the Herr Direktor from the firing squad post - he's got a job to do......=
