Private Message to M Grosbeak

You're late. Expect this means you've been waylaid by Phoenixes, savaged, and left in a rubbish tip to die miserably.

Private Message to Capt B Zabini

As adjutant to Cmdr Braithewaite, you'll be liaising with MLE. In addition to your attendance on him, accompanying him to all briefings and any other meetings for which he may require your assistance, you will meet daily with me. Assume you will have a similar standing appointment with Broome. Information sharing, agenda setting, schedule coordination, troubleshooting, etc.

I've told Cmdr Braithewaite that I'll expect to see you each morning at 7 o'clock and that he may rely on our meetings taking no more than an hour. Generally less.

To start things on the right footing, I'll require your attendance tomorrow morning. My assistant, Minotaur Grosbeak, will be hand-delivering a dossier of materials with which you'll need to have familiarised yourself. Expect him shortly.
