“I'll get right to it.”

“See it I would like before you send it.”

“Yes, sir.”

As she was completing the text, he wandered out into the staff office and began to peer over her shoulder at the text screen. Much as he had suspected, the message bore little resemblance to what he had set out originally. “Forgot you the part about Haversol.”

“So I did. Do you think you should mention such an unpleasant incident so bluntly?”

“Find you a more politic way to express, and pleased I would be.”

He waited as she revised the language. “Need the part about the appearance of delay causing misunderstandings that could be avoided. Say it most politely, as you do.” Mydra nodded.

When it was completed, the faxtext from the acting Legate of Accord was a polite, understated account of the difficulties faced by one Nathaniel Whaler, with even politer implications about how precedents unfavorable to all non-imperial systems could be set if current patterns continued.

It has to be good, thought Nathaniel. Mydra doesn't like it a bit.

“Show me, please, how it is sent.” Mydra touched several studs, and the dispatch plate turned red. She did not touch it. Nathaniel bent over and tapped it. “Do you not finish by this?” he asked naively. “That's right, Lord Whaler.”

He watched while she sent off the other twenty-three, knowing she was getting frustrated by the surveillance.

He retired to his console to authenticate the routine correspondence. The debris had been removed, but the repairs had not been started nor were any workers in evidence.

After running through the material, he decided to see if anything he had attempted to plant had showed up in the faxtabs. At the three buzzes from the console as it burped forth the faxtab, Mydra looked up sharply at him through the open portal. She seemed to relax as she saw him lean back in the big swivel and began to read.

The factual side of the news hadn't changed that much. The First Minister of Orknarli protested the “maneuvers” of the Fifth Fleet. Repercussions of the synde bean shortage on Imperial trade balances. Ministry of Defense requests for greater funding. Prince Heuron dedicates H. M. S. Gold Prince, flagship of the newly dedicated Eleventh Fleet.

Scandalous Sam was at the end of the faxtab, and Nathaniel hesitated a moment before checking the gossip, not sure he wanted to see if any of the bait was there. '

Explosive news...should we tell you which diplomat had his office explode...after seeing a very special assistant...and yet he's so very hard to see...Which playboy of the court rolled his airchair over his chef? And don't forget. . .

Nathaniel let the flimsies drop. Unless the Imperials were onto every innuendo.

Scandalous Sam's gossip needed a few more kicks to keep the interest in the Imperial treatment of Accord going.

At 1153, his private line buzzed, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mydra go bolt upright.
