Shaddam frowned for a moment, searching his memory for anything that might have been worth mentioning. “We have had a few minor industrial accidents” he said, “though we are currently investigating some of them to see if there is more behind them.” He kept his voice level and calm “In addition to this there has been a slight drop in the levels of street preachers, and other non-mandatory worshiping of The Emperor in the lower hive levels, but this is something that has happened before and tends to flow in cycles, we are currently in the downward portion of the cycle so it isn’t anything to raise suspicion at yet.”   It was obvious by both Shaddam's words and his tone that he was doing his best to be guarded, and not give away information needlessly, lest he lose any influence in the political maneuvering that was sure to come.
