Looking thoughtful for a moment he stood up and walked outside of his office his eyes passing over everyone. "You know...Mr. Campbell, Mr. Amsten and Ms. Lovecraft...these walls are not soundproof." His eyes fell on Robert and he frowned, "Perhaps I should explain myself better for you since Mr. Amsten's helpful hints don't seem to sink in. I want YOU and only you, to look through that stack of files THOROUGHLY for anything that could be considered an irregularity and write it out with a normal quill by hand."
A smirk, and not a nice one appeared on his face as he walked over toward Robert's desk, "And Mr. Campbell, if you think you're finished....I have more. If you finish those you'll redo the whole thing until the end of the day. In short...I want you in this desk...by yourself...until the end of the day. Understood?" He looked at Aveira who stood beside him, "Unless you want the same fate at the other end of the room like school children I'd leave him alone. In fact...you and Mr. Amsten go to Misuse down the hall and find out if they still want that warrant for veritaserum." Standing up straight he crossed his muscular arms and looked down at everyone waiting for them to get moving.
Shaking his head he started to head back to his office when he stopped, "Oh and Mr. Amsten...if you're hunting for a promotion..the way you're doing it isn't going to work." With that he stepped into his office and left his door open in case troublemaker decided that work wasn't his thing.
Ben smiled the entire time Warren was out. He even let out a little laugh at the last part about a promotion. He knew. the only way he would get a promotion was by Warren stepping down and no one better than Ben stepping up. Like that would happen. Ben looked down at his paper, made one last note and looked up at Aveira.

That was probably the fastest way to get fired around here. "Veritaserum," she murmured. She had a keen disliking for that stuff. "Right..."
Ben stood up. "Well, come on then." He fixed his suit and walked to the door. He opened it up and waited for Aveira. "Let's go! This Warrant's important."
