Scribe Applications and Archive Backlogs - February 5

Journal Entry: February 5, 2026

Location: Ar's Station

Mood/Title: Scribe Applications and Archive Backlogs

The day took an unexpected turn when I ran into Legion Dryden. It seems there has been a significant breakdown in our administrative pipeline. Legion met with Sphere days ago and submitted his caste paperwork, yet he hasn’t heard a word. He admitted to me that he hasn’t felt entirely welcome, which is the last thing we need when our ranks are already thin.

Legion handed me copies of his application, and I promised to present them to Sphere again. While I don't have the authority to formally admit him to the caste myself, I can certainly push for the processing to move forward. We are in desperate need of someone to assist with the archive and form processing, especially since losing our previous assistant. It’s frustrating to see potential help sitting in limbo while the paperwork piles up.

I offered to show Legion the progress on the new Academy, but he was only passing through briefly. I made sure he knew where to find my new office near the High Caste area if he needs further assistance. The rest of the day was spent at my desk, settling into the new space and keeping an eye on the city's activity.

To Do:

• Deliver Legion Dryden’s Scribe Caste Application to Sphere and ask for a status update.

• Continue organizing the new office space two-thirds up the main stairs.

• Monitor the city records for any new merchant or business filings.

• Check in with the Station Academy regarding the next phase of the relocation.

• Follow up with the High Scribe regarding the archive backlog.
