Checking In

Date: 9 October 2005 2:31pm From: O7 To: O1 Subject: For real? Manchester online. Is there anybody out there?

Tetchy V

Date: 10 October 2005 12:03pm From: O5 To: O7, O2 Subject: V V's kind of tetchy today, isn't he?

Date: 10 October 2005 12:05pm From: O7 To: O5, O2 Subject: V Probably his *boss* has been on his tail.

Date: 10 October 2005 12:08pm From: O5 To: O7, O2 Subject: V His boss? You mean the Big Boss?

Date: 10 October 2005 12:13pm From: O7 To: O5, O2 Subject: V No. I mean his boss at that job.

Date: 10 October 2005 12:14pm From: O5 To: O7, O2 Subject: V V has a job?!

Date: 10 October 2005 12:15pm From: O7 To: O5, O2 Subject: V Yeah, you didn't know?

Date: 10 October 2005 12:17pm From: O5 To: O7, O2 Subject: V No! Why does he have a job? Where?!

Date: 10 October 2005 12:18pm From: O7 To: O5, O2 Subject: V I can hardly say *where*, can I? It's absurd anyway. He works at this stupid little job - says it's good cover, gives him a normal life. More like it gives him a chance to indulge his kink....

Date: 10 October 2005 12:19pm From: O2 To: O7, O5 Subject: V Uh, guys? You know V can read these mails, right?

Successful Completion (mass)

Date: 12 October 2005 2:46pm From: V To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion Both unstable links in the chain have been eliminated. We were fortunate in several respects. It is vital that no other mistakes are made. Contact between operatives is only to be through established channels. V.

Date: 12 October 2005 3:51pm From: O3 To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion What about the fourth member of the original group?

Date: 12 October 2005 7:42pm From: V To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion For the time being, she poses no threat.

Date: 12 October 2005 7:48pm From: O6 To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion I would favour a thorough eradication operation.

Date: 12 October 2005 7:49pm From: V To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion I am unconvinced that the risk of exposure would be worth the gain in security. V.

Date: 13 October 2005 2:05am From: O6 To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion The very existence of the fourth member constitutes a risk of exposure. The behaviour of K and Q confirm this. I suggest immediate elimination.

Date: 13 October 2005 2:28am From: V To: All operatives Subject: Successful completion You presume too much on your position. She will be eliminated as soon as practical. I will determine when that point is reached. V.

Status

Date: 18 October 2005 10:06am From: V To: O7 Subject: Status request How is your assignment progressing? Where is my file? V.

Date: 18 October 2005 10:24am From: O7 To: V Subject: Status request I'm still compiling data. You'll get the first run as soon as it's crunched, I promise. The whispers are growing louder about that doppelganger you spotted. The Academy has been buzzing for awhile, to be certain, but this is... different. And confused. It will be a challenge to find the weevil in that sack of rice but I'll give it a go. Remembered anything else since then, have you?

Date: 18 October 2005 10:29am From: V To: O7 Subject: Status request No. But then, that's why I have you. V.

Date: 18 October 2005 10:30am From: O7 To: V Subject: Status request Rumors like this are a hot match in a dry field. Soon, the threads may be unrecognizable and impossible to unravel. It really would help enormously if...well....

Date: 18 October 2005 10:33am From: V To: O7 Subject: Status request I'm certain it would. But you know full well that's not an option. I'll just have to trust in your skills. Your network is legendary, after all. V.

Date: 18 October 2005 10:39am From: O7 To: V Subject: Status request Legendary, sure, but not supernatural.

Date: 19 October 2005 9:04am From: O7 To: V Subject: Update I may just have something a bit more concrete for you today. Some intriguing patterns in the threads. I could use a fatter pipe on a stream or two, though, if you're offering.

Date: 19 October 2005 9:38am From: V To: O7 Subject: Update O8 ought to be able to work that out for you. I will inform him, if you'll provide him with your specifications. V.

Stand By (mass)

Date: 18 October 2005 3:29pm From: V To: All operatives Subject: Standby Those of you with uncompleted assignments, please provide me with regular status reports. While we wait for the situation to clarify, please reserve these channels for official use only. V.
