How to summarize it, Daxx wondered to himself. How would Gallo want it told? Obviously the public could not be told the whole truth and nothing but the truth, it could not be handled.

Smiling he recalled working as the Minister's Aide not several weeks beforehand. How quickly his world can flip upside down, before he had to answer to the Minister and he to the Emperor, now he has gotten control of his own nation.

Joseph Ander was a brilliant man, he designed the initial system which was built upon and allowed Daxx to progress up the ranks, he remembered being a lowly Magistrate. A nobody he was, however after a steady 2 years of climbing he managed to work his way to the top and have a whole network of cobwebs.

Suddenly a knock came to his door and brought Daxx out of his thoughts. "Come in Marley."

As Marley shuffled in wearing his messengers atire, Daxx noticed he was carrying an envelope, this brought his attention to full instantly. "Come in, sit down Marley, how are you?" Daxx reminded himself to smile at the poor boy.

Marley, who always appeared nervous, simply stood near his desk. "Evening sir Minister, I've got a letter to you from Jarl, he intercepted a letter and enclosed it with his own relating details." Marley dropped the letter onto the desk and bowed, turned and left.

As the door closed behind him Daxx idly wondered what this could be about. He decided he would read Jarl's letter first, upon inspection it related to Daxx that "A perturbed scientist has discovered that a certain powerful individual is planning on harnessing quantum particles for an experiment."

Daxx smiled inwardly, he felt reasonably sure he knew who this "Powerful Individual" was, and also who the scientist was. He checked the second letter and it simply verified it, the scientist was trying to report to a news editor the details and Daxx's agents intercepted it before hand. The Emperor would be most pleased when he relayed this information to him in the morning.

Daxx held the letters and silently opened the drawer to his desk, reached in and opened the hidden compartment where his other letters of importance had been placed and situated them in there. This night he would need to write a new law that would encompass all mail delivery to Galloism to be monitored for possible spies from the recent attack and have Marley deliver it the news editors first and then afterwards to the directors, the Directors would be last to hear about it and could invoke no defenses against its launch. He smiled inwardly, not long ago he was simply an assistant to a towns magistrate, now he was the leader of an entire nation.
