Subject: RE: Maya Fey

Attached is the information you requested RE: Maya Fey's abductors, and their last known location. I imagine you may want to keep an eye out for them, Japan being closer to your jurisdiction. If possible please forward any sightings or unusual activities.

Regards,
Westley
Director of Field Operations, BPRD Fairfield

Don't stop what you were doing before, but do it quietly. If any of the Director's people catch you, deny everything. I will require daily reports from now on.

I need you to retrieve any copies of the security footage in interrogation room 3 on the afternoon of April 5th, and destroy them. Keep the original somewhere safe.

I have a job for you.

Some of you may have noticed that the Directors of other BPRD branches did not return to their positions after Layla Miller's funeral. After some lengthy discussions between the four of us, with inputs from various heads of departments and external organisations, a decision has been reached, and Mr Dorian Gray will be assuming the position of head of Fairfield branch.

Please make him feel welcome.

It's in my job description to give people the bad news, but never did I think I would be relaying this information: Layla Miller passed away Tuesday afternoon in her apartment. Her son, Jamie, is currently in the care of Marisa Coulter, and our thoughts are with him. Any messages of condolences will be passed on, he's not taking any visitors at the moment.

Layla's funeral will be held next Tuesday. Marisa Coulter, Ayame Sadoku and Katherine Pryde are in charge of organising it - if you have any concerns, or if you wish to speak, take it up with one of them. Heads of the other branches will be arriving on Sunday, and they will be requiring escorts; I'm naming Valentine, LeBeau and Black for the duty, sort it out amongst yourselves who will be responsible for whom.

We have no reason so far to believe it was foul play, but a team will be put together for investigation. I have been appointed Bureau Director temporarily, before someone more suitable can be found, and my deputy will step up to lead the field agents in the meantime. I'm aware that this will be a difficult time for people, especially those who knew her well, but I'm asking you all to be professional - Layla Miller dedicated her life to this work, and I believe no one would want to see her efforts wasted.

This is short notice. I've talked to several of you, however, and basically, you're that team. Investigate. That was a party line, that no-foul-play; it was bullshit. This didn't just happen. I want to get to the bottom of this thing and I need you to absolutely exhaust all the resources you have before you come back to me with an answer.

Someone have the autopsy report on my desk by this afternoon.

[Filter: Security department]
I need you to cooperate with the investigation team, they'll make themselves known to you. In the meantime, pull security footage, entry and exit records, I want to know exactly who's been in and out of this building in the past month.

[Filter: Legal department]
Besides Jamie, Layla has had no next of kin. What's the custody situation going to be like?

I need to talk to you.

damn it

The Book is now at 95% completion, and will ship back to Egypt before April 8th, with two agents on security detail. The perpetrator, Kefka, has been terminated. This case is now closed and filed.

Buttercup asks me to invite you over for tea.

Mission to contain the magician Kefka was a success, well done, all. We've now found a way to be putting names back into the Book, and will be slowly getting to everyone over the next week - from preliminary testing, the reanimated will simply fade away once the Book registers them. If need be, say your goodbyes now.

I'll be needing reports from Chere's team as soon as you have recuperated.

We found an empty book, and we've cause to believe that this is The Book of The Dead, and that's what started all this reanimation business. Some agents are working on how to reverse the Book's effects, so if you think you can help in any way, speak up.

In the meantime, holding cells are almost at full capacity, and security needs to be doubled. Volunteers, as usual, will be very kindly looked upon.

Who wants to babysit our friends down in the holding cells? If there are no volunteers I'm going to start naming names.

It's going to be a tough couple of weeks. Missions are going to be done round-robin style so all of you get a break. They'll be geared towards containment - try to avoid violence if necessary. If it's someone close to you, all the better, you could probably convince them to come along quietly. You're all trained for this so try not to go all emotional on me Be professional.

We've got a couple of them in holding cells right now, which is where all of them will go. Right now we know that they're completely healthy, mentally and physically, not ageing, and incredibly hard to injure/kill. Short of completely destroying their bodies, they'll just heal up and carry on. Strength and power levels are normal, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch out.

Fairfield's the biggest branch of the Bureau, so we've got to pick up the majority of the slack. Don't fuck this up.

I hate the undead.

Some kind of magical disturbance in Shelburne. Zombies. Contain and quarantine, shoot 'em up. They haven't spread yet, so try to get them before they bite anyone. Medic's behind you but don't do anything stupid. I'm looking at you, Valentine.

Scoresby's in charge. Teleport out to Nova Scotia tomorrow morning.
