The Best Night Ever (Private with The_Pariah)

Yes. But you have no say in the matter. There was a temporary lull. Then, Firstly, you are not to mention, ever, having been subject to these orders.

As you wish Paladin smiled to himself. What else?

Now. Excuse yourself from the Court. I have need of you outside.

Paladin nodded and whispered in Celestia's ear. "I need to go, back soon."

"Alright." Celestia whispered in response. She looked back at the Court. "Ahem. My guard will be excused, now."

The noble who had been talking right then stopped, then bowed respectfully. The doors at the far end of the hall opened for Paladin.

He bowed back and left the room. Where do you want me to go?

The Palace headquarters for... the Equestrian Intelligence Bureau. You know the way, don't you?

Of course. He marched off, looking important as he walked to the headquarters.

A few turns and corridors later, he arrived at an unassuming door marked Intelligence. Two guards stood at the doorway, their spears crossed.

"I'm wanted here." He said simply.

One of the guards looks at him. "Under whose orders?"

Do I give them a name?

Yes. You do. Celestia's.

"The Princess's."

"What is your business here, then?" The other guard demands.

"That is none of your concern." Paladin smiled. "I'm here on private business."

The guards look at him critically. "... Very well." They slide their spears aside to let him pass.

He strides inside, awaiting further orders.

Paladin emerges into a busy workplace, with desks and cubicles lining the sides of a narrow central pathway, and stacks of paper towering towards the ceiling precariously.

Walk forward. The voice instructs him factually. Take the first right turn and keep on going straight until you get to a set of private offices.

He nods and follows the instructions to the letter. And now?

[Sorry, gotta go for a bit. Back later]

Now, you move to the fifth office on the left and enter. Do not knock.

((Sure, see you soon!))

Paladin chuckled and slipped inside the office, closing the door behind him. Now what?

[Responses maybe a tad slow]

There should be a yellow filing cabinet. Look under M.

((No problem.))

He nodded and flipped through the cabinet. What am I looking for?

A file. The voice says simply. It should be labelled Military De-

Oh wait hold on damn it I-

"Hello?" Paladin hears a gentle voice from behind him. "What are you doing here?"
