The integrity of our program is collapsing.  The failsafes we built in, the multiple redundancies upon redundancies are becoming brittle, no longer able to compensate for the errors cascading through the system.

And as the signal to noise ratio of our work shrinks, we find the Master Codemaker prising himself into the noise, adding nothing to the pathways through the city – and actively disrupting the programs we have painstakingly set up by registering our tags for his guild, shifting the balance in the city, and restricting our ability to do our work.  We are looking into what can be done, but in the meantime, we will continue our work.  The city demands it.
