"In principle, my current boss is High Priestess Jacint Subirachs, who is not usually a manager and is more of a 7th-circle cleric with a peacetime specialty in... I don't quite know how to describe what she usually does, there's probably a word for it in your Civilization but there isn't really a word for it in ours.  Subirachs has enough military potential that she could be the one stationed onsite so we had 7th-circle firepower on premises, but without her belonging to the military or any of the other factions that would love to absorb us even though they scarcely have any idea what we do; meaning that none of those factions were offended by another faction getting the prize when it was announced I would temporarily be reporting to her after the Nidal attack.  Subirachs reports directly to the Grand High Priestess.  She is not, in fact, managing anyone or anything besides me, except as directed in cases like her monitoring Sevar for the last few days."

"Project Lawful is in principle a Church-managed project because of the Asmodeus intervention, hence the ultimate report to the Grand High Priestess on paper.  Its budget however is coming out of the Queen's side of things, and if the Queen gave me or Subirachs an order we'd obey.  The Queen could in principle fund it from her privy purse but she'd rather not and I'd rather not ask.  So your actual budget request is going to be submitted to a special projects office general enough that it could reasonably claim some of the credit - inside Governance internal politics, not with the Queen who knows better - for cheaper roads or hotter forges or several of the other things you've talked about, whose director knows me personally and who the Queen had a personal chat with and which will then be backed for a slightly higher budget next year."

"This is a stunningly clear situation for a project like this one to end up in, and you should thank me for maneuvering to keep things so incredibly clear and simple."
