Verified: with four tokens selected, the new case has four members. + +## SOFT VERGE, played with four new postings + +Registry, Access, Disposal and Settlements — no role from the original five. The case +generated a location filed twice with the two filings drifting apart, which is a +Registry Officer's whole job, and a police cordon the team could not show a warrant to +because the staff's taboo forbids it. + +They tried Borrowed Authority on the cordon: Registry failed the roll that establishes +what PC Aldiss is actually FOR, so the credential stayed at "read their own records", +which made signing four people through a STRETCH rather than routine — and it was +refused. That is the subsystem working exactly as designed; the dossier item that +matters is the one nobody rolled well on. + +The case was won socially, not tactically. The Settlements Officer read the staff and +made the offer, standing 0 → 2, and they handed over the log — the only continuous +record of a place filed twice. Containment and Extraction both failed at 8% and 3%, +Resources hit 0, and everybody came home. Two skills improved at close. + +**Balance note, not a defect.** The phase ladder gets brutal at the tail: difficult +plus escalating modifiers plus destitution put the last two phases at 8% and 3%.
