Pre-Meeting 6 Notices

There's a note with no attribution—just a message.

A way has been found to guarantee our survival. Nothing is required of you but waiting for the plan to come to fruition. Avoid getting blood on your hands. Guarantee everyone's survival.

Hello all,

There's a damaged DHC-7 at Sky Blu. Grendel says it'll be a big job, but it could be fixed. Even if it wouldn't be easy, given the state of things it's likely still worth attempting.

If any engineers are interested it'd be a significant help, but anyone is welcome to pitch in—every extra pair of hands would be useful.

Speak to me, Frances, or Grendel if you're up for it.

Papers upon papers crowd the rest of the noticeboard. They detail the history of GRAIL.

Its origins: a division of MI6 born out of the Falklands War in 1982. From then on, a history of attempted conquest. Tasmania, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Canada. Seizing of train lines for ‘mineral analysis’. Manipulation. Covert arson. Funding of military leaders to prolong civil war.

Evidence of the widespread suppression of knowledge by GRAIL and the wider Intelligence Services. Details of an internal coup against its founding Commissioner when she tried to take control of Tasmanian land for Britain—though afterwards she remained a Peer in the House of Lords until her death. Disciplinary records of a past affair between Hartley Wentworth, then a young operative, and a married GCHQ employee, Mary Squaley.
