Subject: RE:Madison
Mr. Sutton,
I think we can stop dancing around the words
'Agent Madison is dead.' Our only real question now
is why, or more importantly why Nikoladze thought
he could hide it from us.
Your theory about her disappearance as a way to
keep secret the connections between Georgian
politics and the Russian Mafia works, but it's too
easy. It wouldn't justify murdering a U.S. agent.
And Nikoladze knows we know how dirty he is.
I think I'm being followed, though it's hard to
seperate paranoia from reason in this part of the
world. I suggest we start swapping digital
signatures more often, maybe twice a week.
Forward Gurgenidze this keypadcode for the back
door: 091772
Say happy birthday to Kaye for me. Hopefully I'll be
back in VA for the next one.

Subject: Morgue Security Cameras
Sergeant,
While I appreciate your newfound zeal in securing
the station. I wonder at the need for a surveillance
camera in the morgue. In my near forty years as a
medical examiner, I have never once seen a
Cadaver commit a crime.
I am certain that there are other places in this very
building where security cameras might do a much
better job of spotting criminals. I am not speaking
of the holding cells either.
Why, just last week I tagged some poor soul whose
skull had been caved in by an object distinctly
similiar to the batons issued to our officers. Had
there been security cameras in the research lab
instead of the morgue itself, we might have caught
the party responsible for destroying the evidence
in that case.

He's getting the people riled up. Get ready for some

Lortkipanidze Sir,
I just returned from the hospital, where about two
and three-quarters men remain in critical condition.
The beat cop taking statements from the doctors
had a picture-perfect description of the men's
attackers: your friend Grinko and some ogre named
Nikolai.
You may want to put in a call to the commisioner
over at the Eastern Precinct if you want to keep
your friends from drawing more attention than
they need right now.
I need you to stop by and pick up the concierge at
the Hotel Begurebi for questioning. Make up
whatever charges you see fit, something he won't
be inclined to talk about. Once you get him back to
the station have him resist arrest and break
something painful.
It's a favor for a very influential friend. Do it well
and we'll both be a little richer for it.

caused by this grid, it triggers simultaneous alarms
at five seperate police and military stations
nearby. Explaining a false alarm is a headache

Philip,
I cannot believe, considering your position relative
to both Nikoladze and the CIA, that you have no
knowledge of anything called the Ark. You don't
want to know what it would take to convince me of
your honesty. We are playing a dangerous game of
chess, and cannot afford to have gray pieces on
the board. I have a sneaking suspicion that this 'Ark'
is our queen piece. Nikoladze will tell me about it
sooner or later; God help you if he tells me you
knew about it and didn't inform me. I need to know
more than Nikoladze thinks I do, so that I may
protect him from even his own ambitions.

I laud you both for how efficiently you have
uncovered and solved our CIA situation. This
incident is a great cause for concern; I hate to
think what the outcome could have been had we not
had our 'little birdie' in Langley.
I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that we
must move our Azeri operation forward. The
disappearance of the two American agents will
certainly raise some eyebrows. We must begin
before coming under the attention of our
neighbors. Our potential oil relationship with the
Americans will keep them from interfering, but only
if the scale is already too far tilted in our favor.
Both of you should begin preliminary steps towards
our initial countermeasures in case the Americans
discover us. Let us keep our glass dagger sharp.
We'll meet this saturday (the 16th) in my office at
dawn. Make it 4:30, Masse, I'll arrange for a
helicopter to pick you up from the rig.
You can be certain that our glass dagger will
shatter as intended if attacked. Our army, broken
into smaller units, will only become sharper and
further scattered. My contacts have scouted and
secured areas of operation for our splintered army
to occupy. We will have a free hand in much of
Northern Russia, the orient, and possibly even the
United States.
However, I do not believe that it will come to this.
Our plans are too well laid, and our enemies asleep
at their posts. My only worry is your dependence
on Masse and his technology. I have trouble
trusting so obvious a coward.
You at your semi-permanent posting yet? My
platoon finally got off the school buses two hours
ago in Belarus and rendezvoused with another
platoon that came via cargo plane; we're all heading
East but we haven't been told where yet. When I
get there I'll shoot you another mail.
This is so unlike the military we knew when we
joined. We're in incredible shape, lean,
decentralized, efficient. We're acting more like a
business than an army. Colonel Alekseevich
explained to a group of us that we could win this
by allowing the Americans to 'surrender
aggresively.' Any idea what that means? I'll write
again soon.

The turret was retrieved on a westbound road

Apparently you were right, the turret is sensitive
to both heat and motion. We're having trouble
identifying the software, but there is definitely a
very effective IFF recognition system at work in
this thing. Anyone not preprogrammed as a friendly
will be fired upon if in range. Disabling the IFF
system simply makes it fire on anyone...friendly or

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I'm having

I'd bet a dollar to a dime Thomas Gurgenidze was in

possibly have been one of 6 "nameless drunks"

Ruslan,
Pavel says he briefed you on the wall mines. But I
want to make sure you understand. They are
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Do not think that they are a
toy.
The mines detect motion by emitting an infrared
pulse every half second. If you move too quickly
during that pulse, YOU'RE DEAD, RUSLAN.
When you place the mine on a wall, it will
self-activate. It will beep rapidly for one second
and then emit a solid tone for a second more. After
that, it's LIVE and DANGEROUS. So set the mine and
move back quickly.
If you need to move a mine, APPROACH IT SLOWLY.
And only try to grab it when the GREEN LIGHT IS ON.
This is important, GRAB THE MINE WHEN THE GREEN
LIGHT IS ON.
You will know you screwed up if the light starts
blinking faster. When that happens, RUN AWAY AS
FAST AS YOU CAN.
Be careful Ruslan, I worry about you.

Mr. Masse,
Just wanted to draw your attention to some of the
files in the latest FTP'd stuff from Dougherty's PC.
Those 'TSA' files stand for Transportation Federal
Security Administration, we think they're CIA
confirmations of digital access keys for federal air
traffic servers. Is that useful? Just wanted to
make sure you saw it.

I really feel we are not being cautious enough in
our monitoring of Dougherty's PC. Unless he is a
complete nincompoop or suffering from some
nervous affliction, he is bound to catch on to our

We would be much safer monitoring bundled files,
intermittently transmitted, rather than this steady

Thank you.

Grinko,
I've gone very carefully through all the files we
pulled from Dougherty's machine and can find no
mention of this 'Ark.' Your message suggested it
would be high on the CIA's list of threats to
national security, but this does not appear to be
the case.
We will keep monitoring Dougherty's PC and hope
for the best. I feel strongly that we should not
attempt to insert another 'peep hole' into Langley's
data stream. I do not think we will be presented
with another oppurtunity as advantageous as
Dougherty.
Sincerely,

Subject: Note about curfew
Men,
We've reached an agreement with the local police,
so you won't be bothered by their presence
anymore on your nightly patrols. However, we are
maintaining our close working relationships with the
Myanmar police force, and you will all be expected
to enforce the city-wide curfew along with our own
security needs. This will not affect the importance
of your guard or the severity of our intentions.
Absolutely nobody has an excuse to be within
shouting distance of the Embassy, and all law is
martial.
Your burmese is coming along remarkably well, and
yes, there is certainly more interesting meat
stocking our 'Auspicious Hunting Ground.' What is it
the Fijians call it? Long-pig, I think.
I know there's no glory in guarding men who've
already been beaten into submission, but just be
thankful you're not one of Feirong's fishmongers.

you've gotta hit the restaurant on the edge of the

'Spicy Stiks,' (no idea who the genius was that
came up with that.) Best Chinese food I've had
since Tianjin. The Colonel told me it used to cater to
the dignitaries and ambassadors in the embassy.
Used to serve dragon fish to impress foreign

Sir,
I made some inquiries and Nikoladze's losses seem
to be just as severe as we've feared. The Georgian
information offensive was not nearly as
decentralized as they claimed. It appears that the
second most important of the hydra's heads has
been severed. There are even rumors that Philip
Masse has been killed. Apparently a troop of
American commandos (the estimation runs between
10 and 80) played hell with the Georgian's men on
the Kola Peninsula. In my opinion, the Georgian
Information Crisis is over.
Which is not all to say that Kombayn Nikoladze is
any less dangerous a man. If he is able to use the
Ark as he intends, the game could still be his.
Between the Ark and our own initiatives, I have
every confidence that we will shake the globe.
Respectfully Yours,
Colonel Xleochun Toa

Thanks for the recommendation. The food was as

I spilled a jar of their fish sauce on my pants and it
looked like I had shamed myself. Not only that, but
it turns out that the smell drove the dogs on my
patrol crazy. Three of them ran at me and I thought
they would tear me apart. I had to jump in one of
the streams to get them off of my track. Very

Sir,
The Chinese ambassadors keep talking to each
other in Chinese. This probably isn't surprising, but
it makes me worry since we can't understand them.
I'm afraid they might be plotting something. Grinko
has tried to force Long Dan to translate for us, but
so far nothing has worked (and he has done some
things I will not soon forget.)
I was wondering, sir, if we could 'borrow' one of
General Feirong's troops for the duration of our
stay here, to watch over the ambassadors and
translate for us if needed. Thank you.

If your men need to beat the Americans, they must
confine themselves to body blows. We are less
than twenty-four hours from their appearance on
world media, and they need to be pretty for the
cameras. Their deaths will be viewed and re-viewed
for decades to come; it must not be seen at all as
an end to their suffering. Bloodied and bruised
faces do not very well show fear. Let nobody
mistake what we do for pity. Further damage to the
Americans' faces will not be tolerated.

other squads of men, forcibly taking and
pulse-wiping all solid state memory. all of us
together should be able to make a clean sweep of

Lado,
We're keeping this quiet, so be careful with this
information. Yes, Cristavi has arranged to allow
Nikoladze into the Presidential Palace. It will happen
tonight shortly after midnight. Nikoladze is giving
Cristavi a sizeable sum of money, along with some
near-priceless oil drilling data from the Caspian, in
exchange for Cristavi letting Nikoladze retrieve
'the Ark' from the palace unmolested.
Nikoladze claimed that the Ark is a 'dirty bomb,' but
Cristavi has learned different. I'm betting he won't
let Nikoladze walk out of the palace with the Ark in
hand. Hard to say. My advice: keep your head low
around midnight tonight.

protocols live up to your standards, and the
intelligence itself meets your expectations.
Some notes:
-Nikoladze will be on Georgian soil, possibly within

-Nikoladze is funding his escape with heroin money
earned through certain corrupt precincts of the
T'Bilisi police force, especially nos. 4 and 12.
-No intelligence available on this 'Ark' you speak of.
