Blessed are your gods, Batya, now and forever and to the ages of ages.
I am, Re,

Dammit. The formulas are-
Rowle confirmed intel re. movement into Ipswich 289. Estimate 3,500 arrivals.
So it's Go for tonight.
Protectorate Defence contributing three units. (Reserving the rest for NL or resupply, should circumstances warrant.) Rowle to hold his orders close until T-30.
Re. last night. Penderyn's debrief of relevant personnel confirms our assessment. Phoenixes arrived shortly behind us. Suggests mole is in a unit, not leading one. Still. Travers taking point on that.
All MLE units remain on Protocol 17 for duration of Freedom festival (@ which, nothing to report). All units ready for short notice call-out. Braithewaite will issue Ips orders to our units @ T-30.
Will go personally to alert Rod. Said they'd be Thameside this afternoon.

Jul. 10th, 2015 11:19 pmIf I'd had any expectations of what would happen after His removal--and to be honest, I had no expectation it could ever be brought about, so I had no expectations for this eventuality--but if I had, they would have been disappointed by what has followed and continues to unravel day to day now.
Because it is unraveling. A bit shorn off here. A bit shaved away there. And order unspools with each loss.
And yes, we make them pay daily for their incursions, but we need to find a strategy to stun and then destroy them absolutely. Each gain of theirs has the bonus of undermining confidence in Rowle and Bella's leadership, and in our ability to protect and enforce. Our wins gain only the territory or infrastructure at stake, but fail to re-secure the goodwill and loyalty of the people.
I know you've always seen that we cannot win this through terror and force, but we know nothing else. Our rule's been built on that, and there's no time and no sufficient means for changing that.
It's not that Bella is failing. In fact, she has shown remarkable talent for orchestrating and creating and communicating vision. Authority is her métier.
And MLE is more cohesive than it's ever been.
But that's not enough.
Hope your project is going well. Or at the very least that it's proving enjoyable.

Contracted with Ashton-Scripps to collect corpse. Understand Pelton has it now. Expect a report soon. Obv no real reason to doubt id.
Have Corbyn in my office now. Reconstructing what's known of D's movements yesterday (and prior).
You're welcome to join in if you've time. Otherwise, suggest we meet at noon.
Batya. Open to any new thoughts you may have re. eradicating the French pox.

Jul. 8th, 2015 04:57 pmManaged to catch up with Tosha. Quite willing to set aside other things for this project. Diminishing returns on his other work--I'd say a break from that is in order, at the least. Can attest that it's making him pensive. (I'd say 'morose', but know he'd deny that.)
In any case, he perked up at the thought of this opportunity. Believe you'll hear from him or see him there soon.
Continuing to give thought to Brodie's fox. 28 May. 4 June. 8 July.

Not sure what your tasks are today, but have just seized a property that will interest you. Floo: Crosby Hall, Chelsea.
Had no idea Moran was a collector. (Has risen considerably in estimation as a person of interest this morning. Sure he's less keen on that score than we.)
Books. A wing full of them. Bring containment cases. You're welcome to all you want.
Imagine the search will demand at least a day. Suggest we summon the elves to cook for us here: his larder's rich in things that've gone short elsewhere. We could make an evening of it. You owe me a rematch at gobstones, anyway, and that would be more entertaining on his terrace, watching the boat races on the river.

Updates:
At first opportunity, need to discuss:
- * Op. Restoration proceeding well. Have personnel in the villages seeing to it that curfew observed, peace kept, eyesores repaired or replaced, distractions eliminated, difficult memories altered or eased.
** Penderyn, Voire, and O'Clare are proving useful in identifying which of the local watchers have made themselves obnoxious enough to pay dividends when we relieve the locals of their presence.
** Need Runge to see the Prophet gives more attention to this
* Op. Perpetual Rest continues. Catterick cleared last night. White Lund and Basildon underway.
* Core Assets: security enhancements implemented as discussed. Now embarking on extended list.
* Travers, Braithewaite, Chambers and Knox report only minor hits as yet (major targets keeping their noses below the parapets so far). Have informants and snipers deployed at primary locations. Grts, Hgsm, St M, perimeter of null zone.
* International on alert.
At first opportunity, need to discuss:
- * Aix2
* Portkeys (default broken, abnormalities)

To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:
You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it - embrace it.
Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.
Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.
Report as soon as you are able. OL expects briefing.

Just left Bham.
OL exceedingly displeased at certain public displays in the journals. He is most interested to hear what reaction has been there amongst students and staff. Naturally you're watching for signs of sedition. Any reports along these lines should be made to OL via Broome or myself.
Would be particularly unfortunate if there were any defiant acts at this juncture. (Vandalism, e.g.) Given the resourcefulness of the young, do not entirely trust the enforcers to have eliminated all opportunity for such acts.
Believe it possible that I may be sent there as early as tomorrow. Need I say that you ought hope otherwise?

May. 9th, 2015 11:10 amHave to cancel for tonight. OL's decided he will do the honours and wed me to Daphne after supper.
First act of tonight's entertainment, I suppose.
Uncertain whether He'll see fit to invite the Council or whether it will be merely the school witnessing our binding. At any rate, hope I'm the first to deliver my own news.
Apologies re. Pseudonymity. Expect we'll need to delay Snowdonia as well. Bad form to leave one's bride on the second weekend.

May. 8th, 2015 10:41 pmSorry to have missed saying goodnight. Have got used to that.
Interesting debriefing with OL, however. Believe He was reasonably impressed with some of what He saw today. At any rate, He's not grown bored with the project of examining the best of Hogwarts' current crop.
Is, predictably, holding His judgments close, but He favoured me with a compliment in regard to you:
You've captured His attention. And I believe you amused Him with your imaginative strategy for dominating your opponent. Shouldn't like to be Crabbe, Sr when He reports how entertaining his son's failure was.
In any case, darling, you were a stunning success. I hope you're already asleep and dreaming pleasant things.

"I believe you've chosen well."Unequivocal approbation. And quite personal. Neither are hallmarks of His.

Apr. 22nd, 2015 04:36 pmThought I'd come up for supper. Believe Tosha would lend his private sitting room, and I assume the elves will accommodate us.
And I understand the meteor showers should be spectacular tonight. Perhaps we could find an out of the way bit of rooftop to view them from.
I'll have to leave by half-two, regrettably, but until then maybe the Head Girl can defy curfew?
