Raymond Karpov changes were proving even more extreme than Toyama, and horrified two, members of the First Circuit resigned, but this just allowed Karpov to appoint more agreeable replacements.<ref name=CS2>''ComStar'', p. 28</ref> Even Karpov's friend [[Michelle Dupreas]] also began to question his extremism when he proposed Organizational Edict 3056 in the summer of [[2838]]. The edict called for a massive expansion of ROM to allow it to change its scope from internal security to targeting and preventing the [[Successor State]]s efforts to maintain their level of technology.

While the horrors of the [[First Succession War|First]] and the ongoing Second Succession War had all but reduced the general level of technical knowledge in the [[Inner Sphere]], as a firm believer in the [[Word of Blake (book)|''Word of Blake'']] and the prophecies of [[Conrad Toyama]] that the Great Houses would ultimately destroy themselves and the Blessed Order alone would survive, Karpov viewed ''any'' technological recovery as a dire threat to ComStar and easily persuaded the First Circuit of the need to take proactive action against it.

While the horrors of the [[First Succession War|First]] and the on-going Second Succession War had all but reduced the general level of technical knowledge in the [[Inner Sphere]], as a firm believer in the [[Word of Blake (book)|''Word of Blake'']] and the prophesies of [[Conrad Toyama]] that the Great Houses would ultimately destroy themselves and the Blessed Order alone would survive, Karpov viewed ''any'' technological recovery as a dire threat to ComStar and easily persuaded the First Circuit of the need to take proactive action against it.
  
Dupreas however believed such blatant use of power was counter to [[Jerome Blake]]'s desire to avoid interference with the affairs of the Inner Sphere and unsuccessfully appeared before the First Circuit to argue against it. When an enraged Karpov named her a heretic for her defiance, Dupreas tendered her resignation as Precentor ROM and ComStar as a whole, before dying under highly suspicious circumstances. Under her replacement [[Janice Laidlaw]], a staunch supporter of Karpov's policies, the newly agreeable ROM launched what would later be called [[Operation HOLY SHROUD]], a massive five-year effort to kill over 300 of the best scientific minds in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=CS3>''ComStar'', p. 29</ref>
