%Name admits it. %Name stole. But you are a officer of the Emperor's law, yes? Is it not the Emperor's law that no man in his Empire should be a slave? %Name did not steal for herself, but stole so that the Emperor's law may be upheld in Morrowind. You may think it is justice to imprison me, but it will be injustice to the many citizens whom %Name serves. Arrest Narelinde instead. She will suffer a short time, and live. Arrest %Name, and many more will suffer or die under the Dunmer lash.

You have %Name's testimony.

No, I had nothing to do with this. I was careless in not scrutinizing Tashira's visits more closely, and I will suffer for that, but I committed no crime.

I've given you my testimony.

You have %Name's testimony.

I've given you my testimony.

I don't know anything about the accounts. I am trusted to watch this door by the Briricca family, and that is what I do. I didn't see anything worth reporting -- at least, I didn't think so, until we learned of the theft that's been happening under all our noses. Looking back, I can say that Tashira visited the vault more often than Ronus, and more often than she needed to given the responsibilities of her role.

%Name believes not in this Benvild, and his supposed 'law' of anomalous numbers. There is a simple answer: Narelinde, who can access the vault, stole from it, and those stuffy Hierophants with their Altmer mathematics were not attentive enough to realize. That is all %Name will say.

Both Ronus and Tashira are the primary account managers, but Ronus tends to work with smaller accounts, while Tashira works with the larger ones. It would be much easier to hide missing sums in larger accounts, don't you think?

It seems the crime occurred over many months, perhaps even years. The culprit would take small amounts out of the vault and then falsify records in order to disguise the crime. The primary account managers capable of doing that kind of work are myself and Tashira, although we rarely access the vault. Narelinde holds the keys and is trusted to keep the vault secure.

I'm just watching this exit. All clear up here, %PCRank.

I hope we got the right person.

I have confirmed that everyone currently in the bank's office comprises a complete list of suspects. No recent ex-employees, no unexplained absences. The guy you need is in there. They know their own business better than anyone. Just go in and ask them who they think did it.

You've been expelled. When you clear that up, then we can talk about this.

The investigation will continue when we close the case of a murder in the bank.

An intriguing case. You did well to solve it.

One of the bank's employees was found dead. I'll have to postpone its investigation -- we should talk about other orders in the meantime.

Let me know when you've figured it out.

I am not convinced. I was told he's a junior accounts manager; he doesn't have access to the records or the vault.

He has access to the vault, but it doesn't make sense. He was the one who first picked up on the anomaly and reported it to his superiors. He's not stupid enough to pull that kind of double bluff. Besides, he's a friend of the Bririccas and has family back west.

It was the vault guard, was it? That makes sense. She has access to the vault. Not much family or wealth. Simple means, simple motive. It's a shame that the Empire's institutions can't find trustworthy hands these days. I'll arrange for one of ours to take up the duty. You've done well, %PCRank. You can take these -- the Bririccas sent them along as thanks for taking this case so quickly, but I confess I don't have a taste for the fashions of Nibenay. Perhaps they'll suit you better.

Have you talked to the bank's employees and identified the culprit?

Don't get too excited. This wasn't a bloody raid or a crew of expert vault crackers. The thefts were only discovered after a senior accountant in the Briricca family noticed some oddities in this branch's records, and there's a reason it took them over a year to pick up on the thefts. You are to question the bank employees and see who they think is responsible. Go out the main gate, turn left, and the bank will just be two doors down. Do not embarrass the Legion in front of the Bririccas, %PCRank.
