'Well, men, do you know why you 6 are here?'
Akriel stared impassively at the gathered Arbites, all barely out of training. This isn't going to go well...
'Is it because we're the best, sir?' piped up one young man, a grin on his face.
'No, it's because you're the worst.' I love my job... 'You're all here simply because HQ doesn't want me doing this on my own, yet they don't want to attract attention by sending off any of their best. So, you drivel have to work with me.'
The faces of all the Arbites in the room sunk immediately, their bursting egos punctured.
'What do you mean, they don't want to attract attention?' one had the courage to ask. 'We're the Arbites, for Emperor's sake! Who have we got to fear?'.
'The Governor, is who. Something's going on, but we can't investigate it properly as he's suddenly decided to take much more of an 'active' interest in our procedures. So, the only way to get round this is to dispatch some of our more worthless members, you, to investigate.'
'So why are you here, sir?' someone else asked.
Akriel allowed himself one of his rare smiles.
'Because not even HQ has a clue what I do, so the Governor isn't likely to find out! Now, clots, equip yourselves and follow me!'
The 6 Arbites stood up as Akriel walked to the door.
'Wait, sir' the closest Arbite stammered. 'Will this be dangerous?'
A devilish grin slipped over Arkiel's face.
'Oh, you bet your arse it will.'
