Fair enough, although the realism of the matter still gives me reason to question it. Especially regarding their respective standings in their divisions, being so impudent to the XO of Observation would never truly fly, just as you wouldn't walk up to director of a gov't agency and spit in their face, expecting no repercussion IRL.

I'd like some clarification on the Intelligence Divsion's duties - while the name implies they'd be concerned with similar tasks as Observation (surveillance, security, counter-terrorism, etc.) the OOC just regulates them to librarians and history-keepers: 

[quote]This Division keeps all of the world's history and records at hand and secured, making them true librarians and scribes. Categorizing all of mankind's past, present, and possible future, they are the historians and predictors of the Imperium.[/quote] 
Nothing suggests that they actually perform security duties, other than speculation from the name. Can [@TheWindel] clarify for me?
