And in fact, now that Keltham thinks of it, an obvious guess is that nobody is managing this project, because Asmodeus said to set it up, so people in Governance did that, but Asmodeus didn't say who should manage it, so nobody is, and everything going on here is actually being routed into a completely ad-hoc system of random people in Governance grabbing bits of authority and responding to his requests as he makes them, and there is apparently a site manager because this person has been mentioned to him, but there's nobody above that site manager and so the site manager is hiding because he knows he won't be able to answer any of Keltham's questions.
Which is, Keltham supposes, what project management and governance might very well end up looking like, after subtracting 8 Intelligence points from everyone and everything.
Is he wrong? Is anyone allowed to tell him if he's wrong? Is the person who would need to sign off on that on the Nidal front, is their faliover replacement dead, and is there now a long awkward silence while everybody in this room knows the correct answer to his question but the person who needs to sign off on answering it is dead?
