I was discussing the events leading up to the current state of the
Shattered Imperium with a new player yesterday. In particular, the
controversy surrounding Lucan and the murder of Varian. Official
documentation states that there was a security camera(s) in the Twin's
apartment, but that the recording medium (tape, holocyrstal, whatever)
was colocated with the camera (in other words, the monitoring equipment
was not directly linked to a central security station). The question
is, why not? On face value, the turmoil within the Imperium can be
traced back to this very important oversight; had there been adequate
security measures we would know who killed Varian, and the rebellion
may never had occurred.
Thoughts, interpretations?
Iain.
