Yeah, they’re the Sons of Apollo. For attacking people in the open under the aegis of order, against wine and chaos. Less conspiratorial than they used to be, never had a public mandate for it.

Probably objectively pro-plague though I don’t see how, maybe that’s the FDA’s portion of the territory

basically every federal agency having their own police forces at this point is kind of interesting i bet most are boring but maybe a few get up to some fun

I wonder what a Dionysian equivalent of the FDA would look like

I almost certainly know core members of the Hermetic version of the FDA

Hermes is smart enough to know that you don’t need to be Officially In Charge of the gods if you’re the one in control of their communication network.

Hermes is great at that for object level tasks, it's just that most people "try" to "get things done" by invoking Apollo, even people whose virtues slant *very* strongly Hermetic.

Executive dysfunction is occasionally a real impairment, mostly just people being "bad at" doing what Apollo wants.
