Another Day at the Office
Reinhardt Haydrich Stossel sighed as the door to his office swung slowly shut. There was a mound of work on his desk - again. He resolved to see what could be done about that adjutant. Perhaps even a court-martial. He sighed again as he took the pen from his desk (embossed with the SS insignia, as a service) and began to fill out the enroaching mound of papers.

"What the hell!" The Oberstgruppenfuhrer swore softly, chucking his cheap pen at the wall. "I don't know where this goes, and it's not even in my authority! Are these brainless idiots too used to Paris to get work done like Germans!" That was it, he decided, the adjutant would be sent to the Sicherheitsdeinst for his 'rehabilitation.'

Needing a distraction, he snapped his intercom on and sighed. "Fraulein, please inform me of my next appointment and send them in." 'I need a break.' He added mentally.

	The Untersturmführer stepped in to the office at the secretary's bidding, and saluted his superior officer. "You wished to see me, Herr Oberstgruppenfuhrer?" Hans had dressed with particular care, making sure his boots and his insignia shone brightly. He wanted to make a good impression, if it were not already too late for such. (Reply to this)

"Ah, Untersturmfuhrer. Have a seat. I wished to speak with you about a possibility I have in mind for you. Keep in mind, this will be a trial position only." The Oberstgruppenfuhrer warned. He stood up from his desk and retrieved his pen.

Sitting down, he sighed and decided to start from the beginning. "Alright, Herr Varner. How much of last night do you remember? You looked rather sloshed, last I saw."

Hans winced slightly as he sat down. Sloshed was such a cold assessment, if primarily accurate.

"I remember speaking to you and you requesting my presence at this meeting, Herr Oberstgruppenfuhrer. And I believe I offered to help you with your backlog of work and such..."

This was starting to make sense. A promotion? Even on a trial basis, that would be a good thing. Maybe this was why he hadn't seen much of the Obersturmführer lately.

Stossel nodded, chuckling. "Yes, yes. You were so kind to do so, and I wish to take you up on that offer. However, you will be handling highly-sensitive information. I simply can't let anyone below the rank of Sturmbannfuhrer handle it."

He paused, perhaps sadistically, to let Hans digest the statement. "So - I have decided to offer you the provisional promotion to Sturmbannfuhrer-SS." Stossel watched the younger man's reaction, continuing. "And if you perform well, perhaps an additional promotion."

	"Thank you, Herr Oberstgruppenfuhrer," Hans said, his expression one of pleased acceptance. "I am honored. I will do my best to assist you and prove myself worthy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The commander clucked his tongue. "Well, your new job begins now. Your office is down the hall, second door on the left. Take these papers and get rid of them somehow." He gestured to the stack of misfiled papers, tossing another cheap SS pen onto the top.

"Oh, Sturmbannfuhrer Varner? Please do not disappoint me. You seem like a very capable individual, a rarity in this backwater town. It would be an inconvience to replace you." The Oberstgruppenfuhrer-SS smiled predatorily, snapping off a salute. "Dismissed, Herr Varner. Unless there is something else?"

Hans took the papers and the pen, then gave a salute in return (as best he was able without dropping the papers). He tried not to let his nervousness at that remark show.

"Nothing else, Herr Oberstgruppenfuhrer. Thank you again."

With that, he turned and headed for his new office - praying that he would indeed need no replacing. He could only imagine what had happened to the man who had previously held his position- likely not a pleasant fate.
