Subject: Done.

Ramsey's lead was bang on. In the end, Braddock and I provided enough of a distraction for Emma to put a plan of her own into motion, so we're out of there. We're about to get the redeye back, and Emma's already making some poor bastard's life hell - I had three first class tickets, but Emma's picked up a couple of waifs and strays along the way, so we've got to get them on the same flight somehow.

On which note: we need to warn the staff to be careful with this pair - they're Shaw defectors, broadly (one of them is his son Shinobi, who apparently doesn't get on with Daddy) and the other was being manipulted into helping keep Emma docile, or something. Personally, I think it's a bit too fucking neat, and would rather leave them behind, but Emma's vouching for them. If we can contrive to keep them away from any of the sensitive stuff until we're got a better picture of their agendas, that's probably for the best. Hell, if we could bug whatever rooms they wind up in, that'd be even better, but I suspect that one'll go down like a lead balloon.

Anyway, we'll be back tomorrow, crew of freaks and bastards in tow.

Pete,

While you are entirely correct about the prospect of bugging their rooms, I do agree that some concern is warranted. Emma is certainly capable of performing a thorough scan--and far more ruthless about it than I would likely be--but for all her confident air I would be very surprised if she is in top psychic form just at the moment, and therefore I will be keeping a watchful eye on them until we have a better idea of their intentions.

Which is not to say, of course, that we can't also extend them a warm welcome and hope that caution proves unnecessary.

Have a safe flight, and thank you.

Charles
