Midway through paragraph seven of his own investigation, Senior Investigative Correspondent Ralph J. Quill received an internal memo elevating him to Vice President of Narrative Compliance. The Department of Documentary Standards issued the notice while Quill was still typing about Nigerian facilities that had already exceeded their monthly quota of 14,200 felony reenactments.
What began as an exposé on outsourced reenactments became, under the new title, a model of procedural efficiency. Quill’s original notes on bureaucratic self-preservation were reclassified as internal training materials before the next sentence could be finished.
Local Compliance Manager Felicity W. Grimes reviewed the revised copy and observed that accurate depiction now required the original facts to be adjusted in real time. Quill, still holding the unfinished draft, was instructed to file the promotion certificate as the lead paragraph.
Residents in the affected districts noted that at least one person was now compensated for ensuring certain incidents stayed off the record. The new VP will supervise the same oversight committee that once reviewed his work, closing the loop on the original assignment.
