** Requests from outside the chain of command from clients have a habit of first coming to the wrong person, either too high on the ladder to normally spend time on or too low on the ladder to competently handle. The relay is meant as a way to get the request up or down to the appropriate person to handle without needing to stop the entire operation to figure out.
Added DiffLines:
* '''Reconstructed''': The Deconstructed situation turns out to be a case of poor implementation and an unclear organization within Trope Co. A reorganization occurs that makes the chain and each worker's responsibilities clear so that the Relay can be used effectively to get matters to the appropriate office.
