This is beautiful. Simply, unquestionably, beautifully Enclave.
Gotta suck not having any window panes.
Wait, this doesn't make any sense. Harbinger's getting old and his replacement, who sounds extremely competent and whose loyalty to the Enclave is never seriously put in doubt, is killed. I'm assuming the reason for this is to keep state secrets, but that still doesn't work for me. As I just mentioned, that's a prime officer they're wasting there and if they're gonna trust anypony it should be somepony like her. And eventually they're going to have to trust somepony because the current leaders will get old and die. This doesn't seem to be a case of false flag, either, because they're specifically planning here to keep the status quo, not start a war. And lastly, this officer they just iced didn't know these big secrets until Harbinger told her just now. They could have just not put her up for promotion and kept a valuable asset on their team.
I get that this was likely to illustrate how ruthless the Enclave are, but unless I'm missing something major it comes off more as truly senseless brutality rather than carefully planned conspiracy.
4464705 You do bring up some good points, but I don't think it was ever explained in FoE (or here, admittedly) exactly how old Harbinger is. If he was an old coot, then yeah, this would be a wholly different situation. As for how she seemed to be a prime candidate, I probably could have made it more blatantly obvious, but just because Storm Surge was elected doesn't mean she was ideal or the best (in the High Council's eyes) pony for the job.
... yeah, I probably could have shown that a lot better, and I'm glad you do bring this up as I like these sort of discussions. I did come up with this in the span of like two days, so if there are some potential plot holes, I guess you've found them.
