Reporting and remediation

A sprawling steampunk control room at Unseen University Power & Light Co., wide-angle cinematic view. Hexagonal steam turbine controls, alchemical reactor panels, and city-wide SCADA consoles blend with interlocking brass and iron machinery, gears, pistons, and twisting copper pipes.

Prioritising remediation and implementing fixes in this environment is a game of timing, diplomacy, and occasionally gentle coercion. Some systems can be patched immediately, others must wait until the summer break or a Bursar-free window. Quick wins are balanced against critical fixes, and compensating controls are introduced where patching is impossible without triggering unexpected alchemical side effects.

Throughout, change management, testing, and staff training ensure that fixes improve security without breaking production, and tabletop exercises help everyone understand the consequences before anything goes bang.
