Technocrat Rodney Limos was a small man.

The infamous controller of Blix, Ekholm, and Ravillion was shorter than the average in Empyrea and may have had a Napoleon Complex because of it. He wore an immaculate three piece suit, carried a pocket watch, and displayed his centuries old certificate of graduation as a Master Adept of Engineering – it was not necessary to have been am Adeptus to be eligible for nomination as a Technocrat, but having attended the Academy of the Adept helped considerably.

Limos was a living stereotype: He was quite anxious all the time, loved reading, and wore spectacles to correct his poor eyesight.

Limos had been respected before he used his brutal methods to stop the famines. He was a thoughtful tactician at heart who loved perfecting the details of his life in addition to applying creativity and rationality in equal amounts to everything that he did.

Alas, his death had made him bitter – Æcordia had given him his memories when she resurrected him.

“I must say that I am impressed, Adeptus. You have surpassed my wildest ambitions with your project while still managing to sort out Proctor Alma, who appears to have resigned in shame. In case you were wondering about what happened to the Chancellor of the Adept...I did not do that – it was probably Malum or Xantè – because I hold the Academies of the Adept in great esteem as an organisation.” Limos spoke in a smooth tenor. It did not exude confidence, but the man did have a knack for getting people to obey him.

“I do wonder when the election will occur. I have heard rumours that the Adepti of the Humanities as well as the Adepti of Esoteric Sciences shall not be present due to some huge performance devouring all teir time.”

“That is indeed true. They are in the midst of a dual performance of two very famous works. The first is the Mangam Opus of the Adeptus Theatrical, which was first performed in 220 YBP. It is called Emeric the Evil. It is surprisingly popular in the Northeast. The other one is a symphony, John Brambles No.8, titled The Golden War. This one is definitely not popular in Narciss.” Limos had a surprisingly vast knowledge of Empyrean history when his education was in engineering.

Something amused the Adeptus Sociological, Limos struggled to meet his eye – the Infamous dictator was evidently socially awkward as was the norm in the Technocracy of Vorantis.

“The Esoterics are an odd bunch. They specialise in obscure fields and wonder why the other scholars of their elite order avoid them. Morphic Resonance, Lithotherapy, Iridology, Graphology, Chronobiology, and so on.”

“I think that I can speak for the Academy of the Adept as a whole when I tell you that we tend to specialise. There has not been an Adeptus of History since Horiato S. Tory, for example. He mentored the Trainee Adeptus Historiographical.”

“That he did.” Replied Limos with rather a lot of venom for no real reason.

“Alas, the Adepti are not a problem for you, sir, due to our oaths to not interfere in politics unless it is for research.” The Adeptis Sociological muttered – interestingly, he was the only Adepti to have specialised in a field rather than a subfield for decades. However, there had not been an Adeptus of Sociology before him.

“I will use a more recent example: The Adeptus Biomechanical intended to use the Narcissian Invasion Plot to test her biomechanical creatures out on live targets, this was begrudgingly deemed acceptable to the Academy after much debate.” Explained the Scholar to the 2nd Ætharch.

“Malum is furious about the unions spilling over from here to the Northeast. We aught to do something, so I shall send you to convince the representatives of the Brotherhood of Unionised Steamworkers to back down as they are the main union. Aide Fara will accompany you.” Limos muttered.
