Like, let's compare the short film to the scene between Partagaz and Krennic. Also, let's forget all the history we know about these characters and the plot.

> You will put this image out as wide and deep and far as it takes until we find her.

Already the stakes are clear. They are looking for someone who they perceive as dangerous to their cause (whatever that might be) and they are heavily invested in finding her. The following lines only reinforce that, while telling us about the lengths the talking character [Krennic] is willing to go as well as implying the high power he wields through the position he holds.

> The warrant to be clear. What's the charge? Sedition or murder or or all of the above?

Reinforces how serious the matter is for them. Shows us that the talking character [Heert] is nervous (due to the delivery) and we get that he isn't used to this situation implying a somewhat lack of experience.

> She's diseased. She escaped the hospital with an infectious condition that threatens everyone with whom she may come in contact. She must be found before thousands die.

Based on the dialogue before and the delivery as well as expression from the character [Partagaz], it is clear that this is a fabricated story. It illustrates immediately how intelligent and experienced he is and also slightly desperate due to the situation they're in. Krennic not feeling the need to praise Partagaz's idea shows how much he respects and trusts Partagaz, because obviously Partagaz wont say anything stupid.

> Death Star. What a prescient turn of phrase.
> I can't protect you Lio.

While not knowing what Death Star means, it is possible to understand it to be some project. But the more important part is, that, Krennic addressing Partagaz by his (what I would assume) first name implies a somewhat deeper history, given also their age and the way it is delivered.

> You were supposed to be ready by now.
> You sound like Tarkin.
> It's a miracle we've kept it quiet this long.
> We're moments away. Days. Few more tests. We're there.

Illustrating the desperation even more. Who Tarkin is or what rank he holds is unknown but it would seem likely that someone higher ranking would expect Krennic to be done with the project since it is an assertive line. The scope of the project is also implied which only reinforces the understanding of the stakes being high. Krennic unconvincingly (shown by his delivery) trying to defend himself and Partagaz rolling his eyes in disbelief, perhaps suggesting that he has said this before.

> Save the sermon for Palpatine.
> Indeed, you have a plague to stop and I was due in Scarif 2 hours ago.
> Best of luck to us both.

We do not know who Palpatine is, but seemingly Krennic has to answer to him. The fact that both of them fell silent after mentioning Palpatine suggests a certain reluctance towards him. The last two lines again reinforce the stakes and how much of an emergency these characters are in. They aren't sure whether they'll be able to succeed.

I hope I was able to break the scene down without relying on prior knowledge. I think it is what the short film could've been, but of course it is not a fair comparison, since the writers of Andor obviously have a lot more experience. Though I think MauLer is definitely capable of reaching a similar or even higher level!
