No, you don't get time off. We'll all be back in the office in a day or two, so I'll bung this up now while it's fresh in everyone's minds.
That's the first part of the job done. Well done. Pats on the back all round, and I'm buying the drinks on Friday night.
In the meantime, we have two new things to keep an eye on: firstly Kim-Ye Xorn. My initial instinct is that he won't be actively malevolent, but then, my instincts have been wrong before, and I don't think he'll be remotely easy to keep an eye on, but frankly, he's fascinating, and more importantly, potentially dangerous. I'm going to let Xavier know about him and I'd like everyone to keep an eye out for anything that looks like to might be connected to the man over the coming months. The Chinese wanted to weaponise him, and I'm sure others will too. I don't expect they'll find it so easy, but I'm sure some stupid bastard will try.
Which brings me to my second point: Dr Nathaniel Essex. Consider him a medium grade priority, folks. I want to know what he's been doing for the last few years, and I want an eye kept on him on an ongoing basis. I do not believe that he helped us help Xorn simply out of the goodness of his heart, or even just out of respect for ten million lives. At the very least, I am certain that his motivation for helping Xorn was that he hopes at some future date to be able to study the man. It would not surprise me to discover that he already has an agenda to bring that about, and I think I would prefer that the bastards he works with not learn anything about Xorn at all. I don't think this'll be much easier than keeping an eye on Xorn - he's got industrial grade connections with bastards, after all. Still, worth trying - even if he never goes near Xorn ever again, I'd still like to know what shady crap he's up to, in case it needs stopping.
See you all when we get back. Nice work.
