===Synopsis===
*Into the command HQ. Blinkenlichten.
*Fryer is hunched over the taxonomy map. Hare is pushing units around with a stick.
*Boone back from a routine patrol with news — had to dig a unit of regulatory relations team out of a scrape during routine market enquiry. Hare is fractious, as he went without authorisation.
*Immediately
*Boone brings back sample captured communication. They run it through the recombobulation matrix (a roomful of clerks equipped with code-deciphering tools). Nothing.


===Background===
For years GCHQ has protected sensitive communications with a carefully calibrated syntactic scrambler code language, meaning vital defensive strategies have been communicated around the various command centres without compromise. Arrayed with sophisticated defensive systems such as prolixity dumps and syntactical contortion arrays — GCHQ has forged an impregnable iron dome of textual impenetrability that has permitted vital communications to take place uninterrupted, un intercepted, in real-time.
